Reviews
Dregus: I'm going to be honest as well, it is tricky for me to even read it. But it has given me a lesson for later Chapters, or other stories I end up writing; Don't introduce too many characters all in one sitting.
Koshikaden: There are some good members in Konoha, and yes, Naruto still loves Ramen.
Banjo the Fox: Thank you so much for that, at least you was honest about you believing it may have been a big joke, and I'm happy to have surprised you.
Ryuuki13: Hm, I'll think about adding female Kyuubi, and this one won't have Hinata paired with Naruto, sorry. Thank you so much for the reviews, and I do like a dark character.
I would like to thank everyone for their reviews, and I would like to thank you for your praise. This story was meant to be an experiment, to see if I could do something like this, but I'm glad it succeeded.
Animatronics and Ninjas
Chapter 3: Kage Summit and Hidden Eddy Echoes
Land of Iron – Kage Summit Room – Tuesday
It had been over a month since Naruto rediscovered Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and it was the best experience of his whole life.
For Naruto though, it had been three years, due to the unique powers of Marion. The blond had been put through the wringer as it were, those three years of training and refining his skills was an absolute hell for him. The girls had worked the Kyuubi container into the ground during the early years, since he wasn't prepared for the hell that was called 'training'. While he did still suffer from heavy exhaustion during the last year of his intense physical activity, he didn't pass out.
He continued where he left off in terms of his Bloodlines and Nature Types after his training trip with Jiraiya, and getting them to the highest level he could achieve with the aid of the Animatronic girlfriends, his Shadow Clones, and with the help of Two Great Sage Toads, Fukasaku and Shima, after the two Toad Sages picked up Naruto's Sage Mode activate and went to investigate.
Imagine how the girls reacted to seeing them appear in the establishment, going through the barrier the Marionette had put up. The Puppet wasn't too impressed and demanded how the two Toads were able to go through the barrier she put up. Fukasaku and Shima were surprised to see who was speaking, but were startled at seeing that the Android containing a soul and stated as such, shocking the girls and Naruto.
After a lengthy conversation, explaining the current situation with Naruto discovering what Konoha had done to him purposely, the lies and treachery bestowed upon an unsuspecting him by a vindictive, callous Village and its leadership. The Toads didn't believe him at first, that was until the girls got them to read the Black Books that Naruto had took and copied, after the victory of him defeating Pain and during him training with the Robotic females respectfully.
The Toads reactions to the hard evidence before them was frightening to Naruto, since while they were serious and calm, with Fukasaku being the former, and Shima the latter. Upon reading the Books of the Third and Fifth Hokages', the two held facial expressions that Naruto wouldn't be able to get out of his mind for months. The two decided then and there that they were going to aid in Naruto's three year torture/training.
The two then brought along Gerotora, who then proceeded to give Naruto the key to the Eight Trigrams Seal, by entering the blond's belly through his mouth, and with the helping hand of Fukasaku, was able to complete his task.
Naruto battled his dark half, united with it, and then battled Kurama, in order to prove his worth to the mighty demon. After an intense battle with Kyuubi, the blond warrior defeated her, using all the powers at his disposal. Afterwards he gained a new form, a Chakra Cloak, which was all him, but was stabilized by Kurama for the time being, until he could properly control it. This power up was incredible, and upon showing the Toad Sages, and the Animatronics, they were all flabbergasted and in awe. This form increased Naruto's power and powers many times over, and even augmented his Bloodlines and Nature Types by a similar amount.
So the girls and the Sages trained Naruto into the ground, got him to enhance his abilities in ALL areas. They didn't pull any punches, and would make the blond work tirelessly in his training regime until his bones broke and was able to perform Jutsus in his sleep. It was utter hell, but it was worth it. Naruto liked the 'Hell on Earth' style of training, to make him feel as if he earned the right to use those powers and skills.
With the help of Freya and the more… civilized and refined members of the big family, Naruto's manners and social skills improved by leaps and bounds, much like his training. He was more of a gentleman now.
When the situation called for it.
During his intense training, Naruto looked through the Safe Rooms of both the undamaged and rundown locations, and found some… very interesting things.
Apart from finding Springtrap in the rundown place, the blond also found the journals and scrolls of Mito Uzumaki within the undamaged establishment. Within the documents contained her life's work, the blueprints and layouts of the Androids, and the locations of everything important within the Land of Whirlpools.
Within a Blood Locked Box, Naruto found something that blew his mind, the last technological marvel of the Uzumaki Clan, the Nano Sphere.
The Nano Sphere could take any shape, and could be put into specialized equipment to take the unreal technology to new levels, it was used to keep the building intact, but was also used on the Animatronics. During Mito's notes, she found a way to implant Nanotech into the body of people, but wasn't able to perform it, due to her own death. She had written down how to perform the operation, and what was needed.
Naruto didn't wait, and quickly got the gang to help him execute this operation successfully.
It was the single most physically painful time of his life. It felt like an age, whereas it only took ten minutes.
After waking up again from the experience, he could easily feel and tell the differences. All of his senses were increased, his body and organs were much tougher and regenerated faster, and his mind and cognitive functions exceeded known human measures.
It was incredible.
Naruto had also met with counterparts from other Universes and timelines. But that's a whole other story in its self. He had met much stronger versions of himself, all of which were from timelines ahead of his by years and more. One of them was on a totally different planet, one was exploring their Universe in a space ship and was now on their way to stop an alien race from destroying a planet called Earth, and the one that gathered them still lived on this planet, but he was something… alien.
Right now though, Naruto was in the Land of Iron for the Kage Summit. He's here acting as one of two guards for the Sixth Hokage Candidate. With the second guard being Kakashi Hatake, and the Hokage representing Konoha being Danzo. The Summit was holding all of the Kage's from the main five countries, with the samurai warrior and the General of the Land of Iron, Mifune, to mediate the event.
The Summit was convened by the Fourth Raikage, due to the Akatsuki's growing activity in recent months to capture the Tailed Beasts and their Jinchuriki. The Raikage wished for the Villages to unite against the Akatsuki.
He knew he was going to the Summit, since Danzo had explained as such to a Shadow Clone of Naruto that was still aiding the populace build their Village. Naruto did send out Clones of himself to keep the suspicion off of him, with a Clone always pretending to be the Real him.
After trekking through the snowy, icy, mountainous lands, cliffs decorated with beautiful carved patterns, with Three Wolves Mountains acting as a beacon to their future, which is right now.
Naruto had changed due to his training and experimenting. He's taller than before, with the same tan skin. His dark blonde, messy, spiky hair, had grown a bit to match his father's hair style and length, only with a side bang covering some of his right eye. He has the same sea blue eyes, but they hold a serious look in then now. His outfit was still strangely simple, as it was just made up of pitch black pants, and a long-sleeve shirt of the same colour, both acting as a jumpsuit. The back and sleeves of the shirt held the Uzumaki Clan crest. He also wore black boots. Over this, he wears a short-sleeved, knee long, blood red coat that is decorated with black flame patterns around the hem. The back of the coat also held the Uzumaki Clan crest for the world to see. He had his forehead protector headband around his left arm, with its metal plate, and the Konoha Symbol cut into the metal.
Naruto was hidden on the upper floor of the room, completely enveloped by the shadow of the room. With him were other hidden figures that were guarding their respective Kage.
Upon looking at the centre of the room, the blond saw what the room held. In the room were two wooden tables; a large horseshoe shaped one with a small oval one inside it. They sit in a large room made from stone slabs and has stonewalls. It has pillars next to an entrance that is closed. A single light illuminates the room. It has two levels, a ground floor and an upper floor, where the guards of the Kage hide in the spotlight of the room. The second floor is seen with wooden barriers and walls before it, and it can be reached by two sets of stairs, one on each side.
A number of people are seated at the room's tables in the middle.
One is a tall, muscle bound dark skinned male with blond slick back hair and a blond goatee. He wears a white haori with golden bracelets underneath. He wears black pants and large black boots with white and red patterns that go beyond his pants. He is also missing his left arm. This person is called Ay, and he's the Raikage of Kumo.
Next to him is a slender young looking pale skinned female with green eyes, blue lipstick, and ankle length auburn hair that has a few bangs of hair that frame and cover her face, with the largest bang covering her right eye. She wears a long sleeved deep blue dress that goes just beyond the knees with a part that opens at the waist over the right leg. Under her dress she has black shorts and wears leggings. She wears high-heeled sandals, which reach her knees, and has blue polish on her fingernails and toenails. This is Mizukage, Mei Terumi of Kiri.
Next to her is a young male teen the same age as Naruto. He has messy red hair, thick black lines around his pale mint green eyes. He's wearing a long-sleeved, blood red coat, which is closed by a brown vest like amour that is kept in place by straps over his shoulders and around his torso. He wears full-length dark pants and black sandals. This is Gaara, the Kazekage of Suna.
The last but not least of the Kage's is Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwa. He's a very short, old man with a white triangle shaped beard and a white long pointed moustache. He also has a big red nose and thick white eyebrows. The top of his head is bold while he has got long white hair on the lower half of his head. He wears a green and yellow coat with a red collar. Under it he wears a flak jacket, armour and full body black suit. He wears sandals too.
Behind each of the Kage are banners that have their symbol imprinted on it.
Naruto knew that the guards from Kumo and Iwa were eying him up, much like their Kage did when he walked in with his Hokage. While Gaara seemed to smile at him, and the Mizukage giving him a wink, Kumo and Iwa seemed to tense up and eye him with curiosity and shock.
The blond wondered if the two spotted the connection between him and his father, Minato.
The door to the area opens up, to reveal General Mifune, who makes his way to sit at the lonely table inside the horseshoe shaped one.
Mifune is a Samurai, and is the General of the Land of Iron. He is an old male with long grey hair that reaches his waist, with bandages wrapped around his head. He has black eyes and grey goatee and moustache. He's wearing a purple kimono like outfit with sandals.
"Greetings, Kage, I welcome you to the Land of Iron. I am General Mifune, and I will be the mediator for this Kage Summit. I now ask that you behave, and act civil in this event." Came the commanding voice of the voice of reason in this historical event, as he sat down at the lonely table between the fractured leaders of the Elemental Nations.
Ay asked the General if he could have the floor, the Samurai nodded and confirmed it, allowing the Raikage to speak. "What I want to know is this. Why has the Akatsuki been allowed to grow to the strength it has now! I demand to know why nothing has been done to stop this threat, why this organisation has Missing Nin from YOUR Villages', and how the hell it's been able to succeed in getting almost EVERY Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast out there!" He started calmly before suddenly getting angry, and slamming his fist against the table, with it barely standing up to his strength.
"I agree, Raikage. The Akatsuki have taken nearly every Bijuu. I myself was the container to Shukaku before the aforementioned group got a hold of me. This group should have been dealt with years ago, but no one stepped up to stop it. As of this moment, Naruto is the last Jinchuriki, since your brother was taken not long ago by the Akatsuki." Gaara commented and explained in his dull tone, as he gazed between each of the Kage and General seated around him. His gaze was unwavering and calm.
"As it stands I don't trust any of you, nor do I trust any Shinobi Village that you all belong to. Your Villages' all have some connection with the Akatsuki. Konoha, Suna, and Mist have Missing Nin who joined the organization, with Konoha having the majority. Mist was also a staging ground for them, and Iwa has even hired them for missions." Ay boldly, and truthfully said, while levelling a glare to each of the Kage in the room, with Suna and Konoha not backing away from his glare or accusations. The Tsuchikage scowling and looking at his hat, and with the Mizukage looking away.
"Incase you didn't notice, Raikage, what you failed to state was that Konoha Ninja have been battling the Akatsuki with increasing victory. Just last month, Naruto Namikaze killed the Rinnegan bearing leader, Pain, and also dealt with his accomplice. Something your Village hasn't done. We have been dealing with them, successfully." Clarified Danzo, as he cast a sly look at the fuming Ay, who got even more livid at the Hokage's audacity in mocking his mighty Village.
Onoki at this point was completely unreadable, calling on years of experience, he was a master of keeping calm and being the perfect visage of calm and collectiveness. He knew something was familiar about the lead guard that Danzo had brought with him. So, Iwa's adversary had a child, and if memory served him right, Kumo also had entanglements with Minato during the last war.
The smashing of a table caused all the hidden guards in the room to jump to the centre, and take up flanking and protective positions around their Kage. The cause of the table's destruction was seemingly caused by Ay, if his fist buried in the wooden table was an indication to the perpetrator.
Before Gaara is his older brother and sister.
Kankuro is a tall male, wearing purple face paint to further shroud him in mystery. He also wears a black hood which covered his head completely, with a built in forehead protector. The hood also has cat-like ears. He wears a black outfit consisting of a long top and trousers with a red sash around his waist, complete with black boots.
Temari is a very pale female with teal eyes and sandy blonde hair, which is gathered into four consecutive ponytails. She wears mesh armour underneath a sleeveless, purple dress with a purple blouse over it. Her attire also contains a purple sash around her waist, hand warmers, leg guards, and sandals. She also carries a Sealing Scroll.
Guarding Mei was her two guards.
Ao is a middle aged man with blue hair which is styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye is blue, while his right eye is covered with an eye-patch. He wears a standard striped, grey suit, with a green haori that had white trimmings that stop halfway down, over them.
The next guard is Chojuro, who has short, tufty blue hair, and dark eyes. He also has pointed, shark-like teeth. He wears square, black-rimmed glasses connected to ear protectors, a blue pin-striped shirt and camouflage pattern wears his forehead protector on the front of his holster which he uses to carry Hiramekarei. The sword itself is wrapped in bandages leaving only the double hilt visible. He also has shuriken holsters strapped onto each of his legs.
Protecting Onoki was his defenders, Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi.
Akatsuchi is a large and imposing man, with dark eyes and black hair that spikes out at the back from underneath his bandanna-styled forehead protector. He also has large cheeks, and a plump nose which give him an overall look of constant joviality. He wears the red Iwa uniform, which has both its sleeves, underneath his flak jacket, and accentuates it with a yellow scarf which he wraps around his neck.
Kurotsuchi has short, black hair and pupil-less, pink eyes that are accentuated by her eyelashes running upwards at the corners. She wears the standard attire of the Iwa Ninja, consisting of a red uniform with her right sleeve missing and a lapel over her right leg, the brown Iwa flak jacket, fishnet tights and a skirt over them. She also wears regular Shinobi sandals and a pair of gloves.
Defending Ay are his two guards, C and Darui.
C is a young man with short, blond hair and dark eyes. He wears a sleeveless, black shirt with a one-strap-over-one-shoulder white flak jacket, black forehead protector, characteristic black, elbow-length arm-guards, and the red and white Kumo shin-guards along with a pair of sandals.
Alongside C is Darui. Darui is a fairly tall, dark-skinned man with a slightly bulbous nose, black eyes that look bored, and shaggy, white hair which covers his left eye. He wears a high-collared, sleeveless uniform with loose fitting pants, bandages on his wrists and the one-strap-over-one-shoulder flak jacket of a Kumo Shinobi. Darui also has symbols of water and lightning tattooed on his right and left shoulders respectively. He carries a broad, foldable, cleaver-like sword, strapped to his back.
The last guard protecting Danzo is Kakashi.
Kakashi has spiky silver hair that is oriented to his left-side, dark grey eyes, and typically a relaxed, heavy-lidded expression. His left eye is covered by his forehead protector. He also has a mask that is used to cover the lower half of his face, preventing most of his face from being visible. Kakashi wears Konoha's standard infantry clothing that consists of a flak jacket, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. He also wears finger-less gloves with metal plates on the backhand and is seen with a chain necklace underneath.
Standing behind Ay though is Naruto, who is standing with his back towards Ay, but close enough so that the Raikage can tell he's in his personal space.
The Kage of Kumo is staring straight ahead, much like the other Kage are, but on the inside he was slightly nervous. He saw Naruto flash behind him, and it was similar to that of the young blonds' own father. At such a young age the kid was, and Naruto was already faster than himself and Minato.
If only he got the blond into Kumo's ranks years ago, instead of letting Konoha having him.
Oh well, maybe they could work something out.
After sorting that all out, the guards went behind the banners of their respective Village, leaving the Kage to talk it out once more. With Gaara making a moving speech to the much older Tsuchikage.
The group bickered for much longer, decades of conflict and competition between their Villages make some of the Kage reluctant to cooperate or to admit Akatsuki is a real problem, and the strain between some nations was as noticeable as an elephant in the room.
It wasn't until Hokage made the revelation that while Pain was the leader of the Akatsuki, there was another leader. The true leader, who goes by the name of Madara Uchiha.
That made the Kage see a threat in the darkness of the Akatsuki.
Mifune proposed that the five countries form a Coalition, a single body whose goal was to eliminate Akatsuki. The General also suggested that Danzo lead the Alliance. It wasn't until Ao, Terumī's bodyguard, using his hidden Byakugan, discovered that Danzo's was secretly using a Sharingan, Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan, to manipulate Mifune's decisions.
Everyone was about to act again, until someone dropped in.
White Zetsu.
The strange being appeared before the Kage, announcing that Sasuke Uchiha was near. An enraged Ay responded by choking the life out of Zetsu, and snapping his neck when he failed to answer his inquiries about Sasuke.
Ay then stormed out of the meeting room with his guards, to engage, supress, then kill Sasuke Uchiha.
Land of Iron – Kage Summit Venue– Tuesday
The Venue waiting area is a large, stone constructed hall like room, which is supported by pillars in a square formation on the outer edges of the room. The room has touches hung on the walls to provide light to its otherwise dark state. It has a wide corridor at one end, with many smaller ones on the sides. There are windows close to the celling of the room. The wall opposite of the single hallway has a large outcropping that is also has a doorway that leads to it.
There are many knocked Samurai scattered about the place, with light blood splatters on the walls and floor. The Samurai all wear similar clothing, which is heavy, segmented plate-armour that covers the shoulders, chest, upper back, lower sides, and thighs. They also wear gauntlets, shin guards, and horned helmets. The face masks they wear look like respirators. Under their armour is a form fitting black suit.
Standing amongst the sea of unconscious Samurai is the one who caused this. Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha has pale skin, with spiky black hair. Sasuke's hair has long bangs that frame and cover a bit of his face. The back of his hair is spikey and messy. He wears black pants, over which hangs a navy blue cloth that covers him from his stomach to his knees and which he secures with a purple rope belt. He complements this with a grey zippered, high-collared, short-sleeved shirt and black arm guards that cover his forearms. His eyes are the most fascinating though, as they are black, with three red intersecting ellipses, and in the centre is a 'Y' shaped black pupil.
Sasuke looks around at his failed dance partners with an annoyed grunt, before casting his eyes to the side, but in truth he's thinking to his team, which is situated on the outcropping behind him. "Karin." He calls out, no doubt to a team member hiding behind the cover of the ledge. "Can you locate Danzo?"
Behind the stone banister are three individuals.
The first one is Karin Uzumaki, whom has crimson eyes, fair skin, and the stunning red hair which she wears in an unusual hairstyle. Her hair is short and spiky on the right side, while longer and straight on the left side. She wears brown narrow glasses, and her outfit consists of a lavender uniform that exposes her navel, short black shorts, and long black thigh high stockings with black sandals.
The next one is Suigetsu, who is a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it, almond shaped purple eyes, and has pointed teeth. He wears a purple, sleeveless shirt with blue pants, sandals and a belt around his waist with water bottles attached to it.
He also wears another belt strapped to his chest which he uses to carry his sword, the Kubikiribocho. The blade is a massive broadsword shaped like a giant butcher knife with two cut outs, a circle close to the top and a semi-circular one nearer to the handle, aptly fitting the sword's purpose of decapitation. The latter notch allows a strap to be wrapped around the weapon, making it easier for the user to carry. It also has an extremely long handle.
The last one is Jugo. Jugo is a tall, muscular young man who has spiky orange hair, red-orange eyes and a usually calm disposition. He also has a bracket-shaped symbol on his left palm. He wears a pale blue shirt, black pants, a purple cape, and brown sandals.
Karin looks to the raven haired Uchiha below after taking a moment to try to pick the mentioned target's Chakra. "I can't... wait-" She stopped, after picking up vibrations through her Chakra Sensing Abilities.
"Is something wrong?" Sasuke questioned as he looked at the staircase at the end of the large corridor.
Karin smirks lightly, before replying to the object of her admiration. "Not at all, your friend, Naruto, just told me where he is."
Sasuke smirked slightly, knowing that his friend/rival was here and was helping them. He couldn't wait to see his blond friend once more, they had so much to catch up on. But the Sharingan user wondered if Naruto was still willing to go along with the plan they created all those years ago, since while he was free of the Village, Naruto wasn't free, and Sasuke had wondered if the Village eventually converted the blond to their side.
He would wait and see though, as a thunderous crash erupts from the ceiling, leaving large chunks of the stone roof to fall onto the ground with a sickening slam, kicking up a large amount of smoke due to explosion of rock smashing against rock.
Upon the smoke dissipating, the figures of Ay, C, and Darui, stand tall on top of the new ground formation. Ay though is in his powered-up state, the Lightning Release: Chakra Mode. Which is noted with a lightning blue aura around his body, small discharges of electricity, and the user's hair spiking up.
"That Chakra level… it's as high as a Tailed Beast." Karin muttered in worry, loud enough for her nearby teammates to here, but not Sasuke, the team leader, whom was standing not far from the Raikage and his party.
Sasuke, upon looking at the situation with his powerful eyes, gained an annoyed frown. He was strangely thankful for Orochimaru in methods to improve his abilities to unnaturally high levels with drugs of varying types to increase his mental activity, body strength, and quicken his reaction times. The experimentations on his being also helped to the point where he was immune to most, if not all, poisons. He acquired some of Orochimaru's attributes after killing him, such as additional Chakra reserves, a faster healing rate, and the ability to shed his body. He was also training in Sage Mode taught by the Snake's leader, the White Snake Sage.
All in all, he knew this was going to be a painful fight.
Jugo jumps down next to Sasuke, ready to aid him in the coming confrontation.
"I'm going to make you feel my fury!" The taller male roared out as he removed his haori. His eyes keeping their furious and still glare onto the intruders.
Karin mutters something to Suigetsu, with the latter quickly jumping down next Sasuke to back up his allies.
He stands close to the raven haired male, and whispered in his ear subtly the message that Karin had. "Karin mentioned the blond there, saying that he was a Sensor Type, she can't do anything else with him active."
The Uchiha quickly cast his eyes to C and quickly put him into a Genjutsu, the Tsukuyomi, thereby quickly removing the problem for some time. He removed his eyes from the knocked out C, and looks back to the Raikage, who suddenly is on top of him, until Sasuke grabs his team, and teleported away with a smokeless Body Flicker.
Upon touching down, Suigetsu fired off a Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu to Darui. The attack is a giant, powerful dragon shaped by water, with the eye areas glowing. Darui responds with a Water Release: Water Formation Wall, a defensive technique which creates a wall of water in front of the user.
The Kubikiribocho user's attack slams into the water shield of Darui, causing a large explosion of water, causing water to be scattered everywhere. The Kumo Ninja's attack completely intercepted the Water Dragon with its own, showing no damage on him.
The Kumo Jonin quickly pulls out his Cleaver Sword, a broad sword with a fairly long hilt, which has three hinges running along the blade itself. He quickly defends himself from Suigetsu's Kubikiribocho swinging down from above. The two clashing swords create sparks as the two powerful blades clash.
Sasuke at this time is dealing with a very angry, and fast, Raikage. The Raikage truly lived up to his proclaimed 'World's Fastest Shinobi'. The young Uchiha had trouble dodging the Kumo Kage's attacks, and had even more problems attacking him, since Ay could simply move out of the way of the majority of his moves. Although he was able to land a Flapping Chidori onto the mighty torso of Ay, only for it to cause a light scratch instead of going through it like it was intended. So now he was switching it from just using Lightning based moves, to combinations of Fire and Lightning with his swords, coating fire around his Shuriken and Sword, but also adding Lightning to them as well, giving him a very violent edge.
If this had been any other time, Ay would have complimented the invading Uchiha for his speed and skills in varying fields. He was also impressed that someone could at least give him a work out apart from his dear brother. But right now, the Raikage was furious. The person he was fighting had a hand in capturing his little brother, Killer B, and he wanted serious revenge for that, never mind the fact that the raven haired boy was attacking a Neutral Country, and attempting to attack all the Kage.
The two broke apart from their close quarter's battle with Sasuke looking worse for wear. Ay meanwhile had a few marks on him, but didn't look as bad as the Uchiha did in terms of battle damage. Jugo had gotten involved in the fight, by using his Sage Mode Transformation to attack the powered-up Raikage. Jugo's transformation looked like the Curse Mark's power-up, no doubt where Orochimaru got the inspiration from when he created said mark.
Jugo skin is now dark, and his sclera has become black with pale yellow eyes. He also gains a black stripe running from the middle of his forehead and down the bridge of his nose. He has jet boosters on his back, shielded forearms, and various other appendages to suit his battle combat situation. He also has as well as having a deranged look.
His powered up state allowed him to swiftly move about, allowing him to dodge Ay's Lariat's and attacks with his heightened reflexes, and his body toughness and resilience allowed him to take a beating, as he took a good punch from the Lightning enhanced Fourth Raikage that penetrated both his arm and chest, yet still managing to retaliate almost immediately after with ease, despite the speed and power of the attack and injury he had sustained.
On the other side of newly formed arena, Suigetsu was locked in a deadly swords' dance with Darui, and was initially hoping for a quick victory, but that was not to be, as the Jonin from Kumo was truly befitting of his station and rank. Darui's skills with his own Cleaver Sword was similar if not better than the skills currently in play with Suigetsu's own. The Kumo Ninja was much faster as well, as he didn't have to heave the person tall Kubikiribocho around in the fight. Even though the force behind Sasuke's sword master was enough to send Darui away, it didn't keep the Jonin from Suigetsu for long, as the defender of the Raikage was always on the former Sound Ninja's toes, not giving the teen a moments rest.
But also Darui wasn't just a master of one Element, but a user of many, and all of which were deadly to Suigetsu, and they fitted well with Darui's fighting prowess.
Ay eventually moved to attack Sasuke again, only this time the young Uchiha was prepared. He rapidly summoned a Susanoo ribcage around his body to protect him. The royal purple ethereal Chakra shroud was then coated by Sasuke's Blaze Release powers, a black flame that was also known as Amaterasu, but given the term 'Blaze Release' when applying shape transformation to the holy flames.
Ay shoulder barged the imperfect defensive shell of Sasuke's Susanoo, broke through it, and the broad shoulder and arm slammed into the Sasuke's much small frame, and sent him down the area, sending him skidding across the ground like a pebble across a pond. After coming to a standstill, the Uchiha quickly got up to defend himself, only to see Ay quickly removing his left arm, that then quickly burned away into ash by the intense flames of Amaterasu.
Darui, quickly spotting his leader's problem, quickly moved away from his fighting with the swordsman of Sasuke's group to aid his Kage.
Sasuke quickly took this moment to call his team and make their way to their target's location. The Summit room itself, where Danzo was located.
Land of Iron – Kage Summit Room – Tuesday
While this was going on, the Kage's were keeping a watchful eye on the door and surrounding area, to make sure there was no more intruders. The guards were also doing this.
General Mifune though was looking straight at Danzo, with Ao also looking at the Hokage Candidate with scowl.
"No, Lord Mifune, his ocular powers are not active right now." The tall guard of the Mizukage replied to the General's query.
"You have lost your credibility. I would have chosen you to lead the nations against the Ataksuki-"
"'Would have' is unacceptable. I'm prepared to use any methods necessary in order to protect the world. Hashirama wanted to unite the world as a single entity, and I intend to do the same." Danzo interrupted as he looked straight at the mediator of the Kage Summit with conviction. Danzo truly believed he was correct in his views, and no doubt others felt the same way.
But no one likes force being used in such a way.
Naruto looked at Gaara during the continued ramble between the Kage's about trust and ethical matters. The red haired Kazekage seems to be thinking about something, and thinking about whatever he was thinking of deeply.
After Danzo's comment about trust not needed when regarding the outcome, Gaara speaks his mind to the group.
"Unable to trust each other, if that is the world, if that is being human, there is no future for anyone. Understanding and trusting in one another, if we lose that, only fear and darkness will rule this world. Acting with no regard for what you think is right, resigning oneself… I find such things hard to accept. I ask you all this question…"
"Oh?" Onoki responded with an amused expression, before deciding to amuse the boy. "Sure, I'll answer anything."
"When did you all… forsake yourselves?" The red haired male questioned back with an unnerving and unyielding glare to the Tsuchikage, who seemed to jerk back at the question directed at him.
Kurotsuchi cast her strong eyes to the person guarding Danzo's left side, Naruto. She had conflicting emotions running through her mind. She was in awe of his presence, almost glad he was there, and another part of her wanted to kill him for his father's actions during the last war, to which Minato Namikaze killed many Iwa Shinobi.
The young female scanned the features and stance of the Namikaze/Uzumaki hybrid before her, and she came to a few conclusions. She was very good at reading emotions, and while Naruto seemed to be collective, she could tell he was melodramatic on the inside. She could see him glance with hatred to Danzo for whatever reason every so often, letting her deduce that the blond despised the shadowy male. She also noticed that the blond was close to Kakashi, and the Suna Ninja. She wondered if Kakashi had taught Naruto, as it was befitting of his situation, as the student of the Yellow Flash would end up teaching the child.
If only she knew the full story.
She whispered her observations to Onoki, who then looked at the young Namikaze slightly, seeing if his Granddaughter was correct in her analytical study of Naruto and his body language. She was right on the ball in his mind.
However, the sudden looks of Naruto and Ao aimed at the door caused the others to also look in the general direction, it seems that Sasuke was insistent on getting into this room.
"He's coming."
Naruto shook his head, as all the banners baring the symbols of the Kage were slashed, letting the fall and crumple onto the floor. "No… he's already here." He mutters, as he looks up, seeing Sasuke standing on the ceiling like a bat, glaring down at Danzo with anger hatred burning in his eyes. The Uchiha had found his prey.
"Sasuke Uchiha…" Kakashi muttered as he gazed at the person who left Konoha all those years ago. He had truly grown since then, in a way, he was proud of how well the teen had grown, both in terms of power, and physical growth. The Jonin could tell that Naruto was also similarly proud.
He just wondered if the raven haired male was still on their side.
Mifune jumped up into the air to deal with the interloper, at the same time though, Danzo bolted out of the room. Mifune quickly tried to slice through Sasuke with his mighty katana, only for it to connect with Sasuke's own Lightning coated one. The General was quickly forced back down to his seat due to the raw strength the raven haired male had behind him.
"Sasuke, Danzo bolted!" Came the voice of Karin, who pointed to a new hole in the wall behind where Danzo was seated.
Jugo and Suigetsu, with the former still in his powered up state, jumped to attack the guards. Ao leaped over the tables to the new opening, informed his Kage that he was going after Danzo, before chasing after him. Jugo moved to attack Gaara and his siblings to buy more time.
Kakashi also went after the Sixth Hokage Candidate, while Naruto gazed into the eyes of Sasuke, who also returned the gaze. A silent message was sent between the two, the unspoken words of a comradeship, friends to the end of the line.
Naruto nodded to his friend, before he himself chased after Danzo. Karin, under Sasuke's orders, was keeping a solid lock on Naruto, since the blond would lead them to their target. Onoki and his guard wasn't getting involved with what was about to happen next.
As the Hiramekarei and Kubikiribocho continued to clash against each other in a dance between their wielders, Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan quickly scanned the door. He dropped down and landed gracefully, before attempting to also track down the acting Hokage. His plan was curtailed when a wall of lava spewed forth onto the opening, before quickly solidifying, stopping the young Uchiha in his steps.
"You Akatsuki have travelled all over the Hidden Mist, and manipulated the Fourth Mizukage…"
Sasuke turned his head to look at Mei, who seemed to explaining her issue regarding the organization that Sasuke represented. The Uchiha knew of the stories, Tobi had explained to him how the Bloodline War in Mist was started. It seemed that Tobi, or Madara, as he called himself, caused the entire event by controlling the Mizukage at the time. Sasuke wanted to destroy Madara there and then, but he didn't have the power to do it. But he also didn't want to destroy the last of his Clan, he may have been heartless and cold, but he didn't want to do that.
Not yet anyway. Tobi did need to pay for his crimes, and Sasuke wasn't sure he would be able to defeat the self-proclaimed Madara. The young Uchiha didn't believe that his 'boss' was Madara, but the person in question was still very powerful.
Mei continued. "And yet, when I look at you closely, you Uchiha are quite handsome indeed." With a sort of remorseful tone to her voice, as she glanced at the 'handsome' Uchiha with her green eyes.
'Kami, not another one for my looks…' Sasuke thought with a groan as he turned to look at the Mizukage. He was annoyed once more for someone enjoying him for his looks. It was like being in Konoha all over again. He was angry that she also got in the way of his target, so he let her know his feelings on the matter. "Do not interfere."
The Mizukage sighed sadly, before standing up to get ready to fight the rogue Uchiha. "Alright… at least I'll give you a kiss goodbye." She commented, just before she quickly blurred through hand signs. "Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique." She calls out, before she fires out a stream of lava from her mouth. She aims the jet of lava at Sasuke's position, who quickly summons his Ultimate Defence to save his hide from the spray. The purple ribcage and glow of the Susanoo protected him perfectly from the attack.
Sasuke tutted slightly at the attempt to stop him, he didn't have time for this. "Hurry up you guys, we can't let the murderer get away."
Suigetsu was kicked away by Chojuro, who quickly drew the Hiramekarei. A blade that was wide and flat with two curved indentations near its base. The overall sword looks like a flounder fish in shape. The bandages explode from it, with Chakra also suddenly expanding from its form. Upon creating the shape of a giant mallet, Chojuro slammed the hammer into the defence of Sasuke.
Although the defence still held up well, much to the surprise of everyone, including Sasuke, the young Uchiha, and his Susanoo protection was sent through the wall of the room, and the wall of the corridor next to it, sending him out of the building.
"SASUKE!" Karin shouted, as she ran out to the new opening to see the fate of her crush.
Land of Iron – Summit Venue exterior – Tuesday
Sasuke had forgotten about the falling he was going through, he was still trying to find his brain after that hammer. It still winded him, making him lose focus for a second.
Upon realizing his predicament, he quickly Summoned a large, brown Hawk. After quickly getting his footing, he went back up the side of the mountain he fell from, and reached the opening to the Summit location. Sasuke did admit that it was truly a great place to build a fortress, inside a cliff with only one real entrance. Unless you were a Shinobi, then you could get in through a few windows in the exposed sections of massive complex.
If he was noticing the horizon and environment around him, he would have noticed it was a snowy, cold place still filled with nature, frozen lakes, and the odd lifeform. In the distance though, it was how he remembered the landscape of the Land of Fire surrounding Konoha.
So full of life, a sea of green and nature in all its glory.
Upon closing in on his surprise exit, he saw Karin standing at the opening waiting for him, although he knew that she was seeing if he fell to his death.
He knew he had to get there faster, if the sudden explosion behind Karin was any indication to increase his speed, that and his Uzumaki teammate suddenly being pushed out of the window by Suigetsu. The swordsman was also holding a young Jugo, clearly the crazed member of the team had overexerted himself and had turned into a child.
Sasuke knew that Jugo needed to feed on the living to return back to his full strength.
After catching the falling triplets on his hawk, he quickly got away from the Summit location, gaining ground quickly, and not getting anyone pursuing him.
"Alright… let's get patched up, then we'll go after Danzo." The team leader, Sasuke, stated as he glanced at his team, seeing the injuries and marks on his allies. He knew he had sustained damages as well, but he wasn't stopping until Danzo was dead by his hands.
Land of Iron – Samurai Bridge – Tuesday
Placed over a slow flowing river, and built to connect to plots of land, a bridge built out of grey stones stands strong. It features a large gate at one end, somewhat resembling a torii, emblazoned with the kanji for samurai. On top of the gate is a large stone statue of a sheathed sword with weights hanging on both ends.
Paths on the lands connect to the bridge, either made from stone or dirt, they all lead from unknown locations but stretch down alongside the river or lead up into the mountains and forests.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful place, full of calm serenity, but that was all about to change.
Danzo strolled down the bridge after escaping from the Summit. It took him some time, but he was able to reach this bridge, finally. He wasn't going to battle Sasuke, he had his destiny to achieve.
He wasn't about to die before his chance, he wasn't going to die due to some revenge driven brat.
He wondered if the Hero of Konoha was dealing with the rogue Uchiha. Although any thought to that notion was halted when the blond in question landed behind him, with Kakashi landing next to the Hokage Candidate.
"We finally caught up with you, Danzo." Naruto said with a sickly sweet smile. He was finally going to let loose on the old man. Chop off the head of the snake, and the body will die. By destroying Danzo, Root will collapse, and Konoha will be one less of a strong Shinobi.
Naruto's plans were now in full swing, and with Danzo's destruction, the plan will open with an explosive start. Just how the blond wanted it.
The stand-in Hokage looked ahead. Years of experience was screaming out to him, his years of honing his senses all came to the same conclusion.
This was a trap, and he was the bait.
But Naruto wouldn't do this, right? From what he gathered, the blond seemed content with Konoha, and wouldn't attack him or any of the citizens of his home. Danzo knew that Naruto was a patriot, much like himself.
If only the Shimura Clan member knew the truth.
But Danzo was ready for such an event. In the hills and trees ahead, an army of his Root ANBU waited and observed. The war hawk knew that if the blond were to attack, his hidden guards would jump in and eliminate the enemy.
While he was sure about the competence of his soldiers, he was unsure how they would fair against Naruto and Kakashi, if the latter was also planning to attack him.
Naruto wasn't an idiot. He knew Danzo wouldn't be secure just having two guards. No, the blond was expecting the elderly man to have a few tricks up his sleeve. So the Unpredictable Ninja brought some reinforcements of his own. His hidden team was sticking to the shadows around them.
The blond acted first, by quickly forming then blasting a Wind Release: Rasengan into the back of Danzo, causing the Hokage to cough up blood, and exclaim in surprise and shock. The attack grinded into the back of the Root Leader, before he was propelled away with speed, before the attack exploded, taking Danzo with it.
Kakashi looked at the attack in surprise. He wasn't expecting that. He knew how the Rasengan worked, but never did he think he'd see someone fire it from their hands. He wondered if this was an extension to the final product of the Jutsu after adding the Elements to it.
However, when the white haired male was about to address his student, the blond was looking to the side. Specifically, a nearby pillar that supported the bridge, and low on behold, Danzo was standing there.
'What? How is he standing there? He should have been torn to pieces in that attack. There's no blood there either… was that Clone? Or was it something else?' Were the thoughts of Kakashi, as his sole eye opened wide in response. He quickly uncovered his left eye, showing his Mangekyo Sharingan, which is three stretched triangles evenly spaced around the pupil that each curve at the top around the eye to form a circle, making it similar to a pinwheel.
'So… this is the Izanagi…' Naruto thought to himself, as he studied the perfectly intact form of Danzo, whom was staring down at him with beady, shady eyes.
Danzo wasn't going to play around, so he removed the bandages that hid his arm and face, showing to the world what was under them. The once hidden arm was white and implanted with ten more Sharingan, and the image of a face was protruding from his right shoulder, where Hashirama's cells were injected into his body.
He also removed the bandages from his face, show his Sharingan to them. Danzo's implanted eye pattern is four curved half triangles evenly spaced around the pupil that reach the edges of the iris, making it similar to a pinwheel in design.
"You look damn ugly." Naruto commented with a serious chuckle, as his Life Eyes turned on, and his Sage Mode also activated at the same time.
"So you wish to challenge me, Jinchuriki? Very well. I'll show you why I was a rival to Hiruzen." The malformed man declared, as he went through hand signs. "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere." He said just before he took a deep breath, then exhaling several spherical bullet-like wind blasts in such a manner that they are dispersed over an expansive range.
The attack cut through the bridge in various places, but due to the agility of Naruto and Kakashi. The blond was glad his dexterity and manoeuvrability was really high. As during his evading, he was creating a purple sphere in the palms of his arms, and just as he landed, he thrusted his arms forward towards Danzo.
The attack in question was an eerie, evil purple with black Lightning surrounding it. There were now two balls connected together by a string of negative energy revolving around each other, while Kakashi let off a Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang towards the Hokage. The hound shaped Lightning attack was still connected to the user's hand, allowing them to control it during its attack.
Both attacks slammed into the body of Danzo, causing a large explosion mixed with Dark and Lightning energies.
And it seemed that the elderly man survived again, as he suddenly appeared next to Naruto and was about to cut through him with his Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, but a Light Shield appeared around the blond, stopping the attack instantly.
As the man was about to attack again, Kakashi ran a Lightning Cutter through the chest of Danzo, causing him to hack up blood due to the attack.
But it was all an illusion once more, as Danzo faded from view, only to appear down the bridge from them.
"What's going on… we should have killed him a few times now." Kakashi wondered while levelling a glare at the survivor of both his and his students' attacks.
"Take a look at his arm. The power he's using, the Izanagi is closing his Sharingan. Kurama told me all about the Sharingan, and its various abilities. When activated, the caster removes the boundaries between reality and illusion within their personal space. To a degree this allows the user to control their state of existence, but it is normally active for only the briefest of moments. At the same time, a skilled enough user of this technique can expand Izanagi's range beyond one's personal reality, able to affect a whole swath of people during the technique's activation."
"So he's bending reality to keep himself alive? How is that possible?" Kakashi asked his former student, surprised at how this technique works. So they're all trapped in this attack?
Naruto continued his lecture with a bored tone. "While the target remains physically real while fighting, Izanagi is capable of turning any occurrence, this includes injuries and even death inflicted upon them, into mere illusions. Whenever the user receives a fatal injury, he or she automatically fades away as though they were an illusion all along and then returns back to reality; physically real and unscathed. The technique is based on a technique the Sage of the Six Paths had, referred to as Creation of All Things Technique. The process he used is explained to have initially involved the administration of imagination, and the spiritual energy which forms the basis of Yin Chakra to create shape and form from nothingness. Then, through the application of vitality, and the physical energy which forms the basis of Yang Chakra, he would breathe life into the prior form. Thus, a technique with the power to turn imagination into reality was born, known as Izanagi."
"B-but, the Sage of the Six Paths is a myth, isn't he?" The white haired ninja stuttered out in surprise. He'd always assumed the stories of the Sage were fairy tales, with some of the abilities of the Sage being told worldwide, it's hard to believe someone like that could exist.
But yet here Naruto was, basically saying that the Sage was indeed real, and that Kyuubi, if Kakashi was right in his deduction about the Kurama character, had met him all those years ago.
Naruto glanced at Kakashi with an annoyed frown, before turning back to Danzo. "I assure you, he's no myth. Back to the matter at hand. Izanagi can be used only by those with the genetic traits of the Sage of Six Paths. The Uchiha, descended from the Sage, are able to perform Izanagi with their Sharingan. But… even with such an eye acting as a medium, gaining the power to briefly control reality's flow as the user sees fit comes at a price; one has very limited reserves of time within a single eye for invoking this technique. This technique would normally be used for only the direst of situations as after the Sharingan with which Izanagi was casted exceeds its limit, the said eye becomes powerless and is rendered blind permanently, with the rare exception that its sight and power can be restored to the said eye by further evolving it into a Rinnegan. All we have to do is keep Danzo using those eyes, and… time is up for him."
Danzo was someone surprised at the words of Naruto. Was this just all about his most secret of powers? So much information could be learned from the blond. He could use that information to become the leader of the Nations. All the knowledge and power at his disposal.
He wasn't about to let that reservoir of knowledge escape his grasp, he wasn't about to let Naruto, the prize of Konoha, run around freely anymore.
His musing and planning was stopped dead, when explosions behind him echoed and thundered through the valley and area. Those were the rough locations where his soldiers were. Did something happen?
Upon looking at the smug face of Naruto, he knew that the blond was the cause of it.
The war hawk knew that if it came down to it, he will pull of his most deadly abilities, namely Wood Release, and if that didn't work… Reverse Four Symbols Sealing will stop this insurrection.
Land of Iron – Hills surrounding the Samurai Bridge – Tuesday
In the forest and hills around the Samurai Bridge, many battles were raging between Danzo's Root ANBU, and the forces that Naruto had brought with him, the Animatronics.
The forces of the Darkness of the Shinobi were not even a challenge for the girls and their powers, however unorthodox they appear to be. The Root ANBU are a testament to how to never judge a book by its cover, and they judged their opponents poorly.
Indeed, a large number of them were now just stains on the environment, with body parts scattered about due to varying attacks by the androids.
The members of Root wear the standard cloak and mask of the Konoha ANBU, they don't have an actual standardised uniform like the others. Underneath the cloaks they were, each Root member wears a personal attire. The only single distinguishing garment they all wear is a short, black, midriff jacket, with red straps over the shoulders along with the tip-less tanto.
Foxy, Bonnie, Chica, Freya, and Goldie had formed one team.
Mangle, Bonbon, Toy Frannie, Toy Chica, and Balloon Girl was another.
With the last team containing; RWQ, Purple Rica, Marion, Fayebear, and Spring Bonnie.
The first team was standing together in a pentagon formation, with all members staring at the group of Root in front of them. The others had essentially been bugs hitting a wind shield. These would soon be joining the others in the next life.
Oh how Foxy was enjoying the killing of vermin. These emotionless drones were perfect to vent her pent up anger on, and they were Konoha Shinobi also, that just made it all the more better for her.
The girls, fully prepared to engage these foes, were able to dodge the thrown varying types of Kunai, Shuriken, and Elemental attacks. Some of the girls broke to the sides, while Goldie brought up a defensive move called the Neon Wall, which is a purple holographic barrier that protected a large area behind it. While some attacks went through, as it only negated about 50-70% of all the attacks, the effectiveness of the attacks that broke through was brought down drastically.
The Root Ninja, quickly realizing that their attacks were useless in the wake of the shield, tried other methods of dealing with their foes.
One such Shinobi tried charging through the Neon Wall, only to turn into bloody, messy chunks upon going through it.
The others also forfeited their continued existence at the hands of the machines.
Foxy unscrewed the limbs of one of the Root members, literally, she took of their head, arms, and legs as if she was turning a tap. It may have been a bit extreme for her to do so, but she relished in the cries of the person before she took their life.
Bonnie toyed with her enemy for a moment before she pounced on him with her Jack-O-Bomb attacks, in which she called forth pumpkin themed Chakra attacks from around to converge on an area. All that was left of her foe was scattered craters due to her attack.
Goldie had someone try to get behind her to strike her down, such a coward, but even that didn't save him from her power. She released the deepest, most demonic sounding scream into his face, causing him to die of the sudden Jumpscare.
Even the lady of the group was not holding back against her adversary, as she quickly sent a horde mini versions of her to steamroll him. As the Freddles ran over him, they tore chunks of flesh and matter from his downed form.
Resistance was futile, as he quickly succumb to his to his fate and died to the attack.
Freya cleaned the splattered blood off of her fur as the Freddles vanished, before moving back to Goldie.
Chica didn't take long with hers, as she quickly threw a Chakra Buzzsaw attack at the enemy, splitting him in half down the middle, letting his corpse flop to the sides.
Mangle, Bonbon, Toy Frannie, Toy Chica, and Balloon Girl were attacking another group of Root in another part of the area. They were closer to the river, and were just as quick to deal with their foes as the first group did with theirs.
Mangle dealt with her enemy by unleashing a Pizza Wheel attack upon him, which burned, scalped, cut, and maimed him to the point until death reached him to collect his soul for the next life.
Mangle could have sworn that Death shook its invisible head towards her, before it went off to do its soul accumulating.
Bonbon sent out a cluster of musical notes that destroyed the eardrums of the Root that tried to set her on fire, before she increased the sound waves generated, and aimed them all at him. It wasn't long before the Shinobi stopped screaming and dropped to the floor dead, as blood trickled out of every orifice, and his brain turned to mush.
Toy Frannie held up her end of the conflict, as she used her Speed Song to gain a massive increase in speed to the point where she seemed to be a blur, completely dazing the Root enemy. After he settled down from trying to kill her, she threw her Microphone through the chest area of the enemy, causing him to scream in shock at the new entrance into his body, before the Mic came back and tore through his exposed heart that dangled in the opening.
The man tried to mutter something, but dropped to the floor before he could attempt anything.
During this, Toy Chica sent out a yellow and red ball, which soon after popped open in a cloud of smoke. The Root ANBU would have snorted with laughter, although that stopped when a random attack came forth, and it was Munchies. The many traps with eyes landed all over him, causing him to gain the many metallic teeth dig into various parts of his body. He bellowed in agony as the attacking teeth dug deeper into him, before the one clamped around his neck severed the head from his body.
The Munchies, having finished their meal, quickly vanished into smoke, leaving Toy Chica with just mangled remains.
And the last of that team, Balloon Girl, unleashed balloon hell upon her problem. She sent out a fleet of multi-coloured balloons to her Root enemy, who cut through some of the strangely directed floating bags, until one grazed his back. That was the end for him, as it exploded on his back, taking him along with it. It also set off a chain reaction with the other balloons around him.
Elsewhere, RWQ, Purple Rica, Marion, Fayebear, and Spring Bonnie were dealing their Root targets.
RWQ, like Purple Rica, were enjoying their new bodies. During the time of Naruto's training with them, he was able to build them bodies based after their shadowy forms. It was hard for it, even with Mito's notes on how to construct Animatronics and the aid of the others. But in the end, their blond lover was able to build them real bodies. Even though they still could transform into their ghost states that they had gotten used to, the feeling of having a real body outweighed the want to be ghost all the time.
Right now though, RWQ had dealt with her enemy by poisoning them to death with her Bad Pizza attack, even though the attack in question was meant to deal with large groups, she didn't have many other attack capabilities. The large, Chakra made, poisoned pizza was her favourite move.
The other shadow Animatronic, Purple Rica had used her most deadly attack, and indeed one of the most powerful attacks the girls have, the Esc Key attack, in which she can manipulate the Forces of Nature, and the Forces of the Universe, to remove someone from the face of the Cosmos, as if the person never existed. The area in front of her became distorted with darkness, as if the Universe glitched, and that glitch covered the henchman of Danzo, and removed him from existence.
Marion simple unleashed the most deadly attack the girls have, and that she can only use so far, the 4th Wall attack. It's similar to the Esc Key attack, except it will always hit its target. While Purple Rica's most fierce attack only works about 30% of the time, the 4th Wall works every time. The thick energy wall, comprised of neon blue and glowing white energies, slammed into the enemy's Fire Release: Fire Ball Jutsu, before it reached him and quickly vaporized him just like it did to the Jutsu he tried to hit her with.
He didn't have a chance.
Fayebear quickly dealt with hers, by using her powers to create a large jaw brimmed with sword-like teeth around the body of the Shinobi of Root, before the jaw closed on him, bisecting him at the waist. Just as the upper body descended to the ground, the jaws slammed shut and tore through his torso like a hot knife on butter. The large crunch and strangled screams fell deaf on the bear, who checked to see how her sister, Spring Bonnie, was doing.
Spring Bonnie used her second favourite attack on the last Root solider, the Springlocks attack, in which she creates a Chakra mask on her target's face. The mask would then act like the Springtrap suit when the spring locks malfunctioned, only in this attack it would centre the locks on the facial area, severely injuring, or outright killing, whoever was had the mask on.
Her victim suffered a terrible fate, as he tried to pry the Chakra mask off, only to die a painful, and brutal death.
The girls met up after dealing with the Root Ninja that tried to fight back, and utterly failed in their objective.
Either they were too powerful and/or badass, or the enemy really underestimated them.
If one were to question Foxy on the matter, she would go with the former, but remove "powerful" from the sentence, and just have "badass" there.
The girls made it back to the bridge to see how the battle had faired, and it wasn't faring well for the Shinobi of Darkness.
Land of Iron – Skies – Tuesday
The group had been flying for some time in an attempt to find their target, and Sasuke wasn't too happy about the situation. He wasn't about to give up finding Danzo, the man needed to pay for this crimes against his Clan.
It wasn't until Jugo found out from a passing bird, due to his Clan's abilities to talk to animals, that they had a lead.
According to the bird, there was a massive battle going on between many people, and one of the persons involved was Danzo.
So Sasuke made hast to the location, with Karin getting a firm location as to where this confrontation was going down. Even if the red head nearly fainted due to the amount of Chakra fluctuating and discharging in the area due to the fight.
After getting directly overhead, they made a nosedive to the level the fight was at, although not much appeared to be happening.
Land of Iron – Samurai Bridge – Tuesday
The battle hadn't been going well for Danzo the minute it started. Even with his mastery of the Wind Element, and him sending out wave after wave of his many attacks; His Wind Release: Slash, Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere, Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves, Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, Wind Release: Vacuum Wave, and Wind Release: Air Bullets.
All of them and more didn't work against the combined might of Kakashi and Naruto, even though the attacks struck them a few times, and he had his Wood Release ensnare them both a few times, none of them stopped the confrontation.
The two seemed unstoppable.
They kept attacking him, using their own attacks and Elements against him, with both traitors using just about every Element in the world against him. He thought he would have a chance at taking control of the Jinchuriki using his Sharingan, but it wasn't working.
So he tried to use it on the Son of the White Fang, only for it to not work on him too, was the Sharingan he got from Shisui not working? Or was it something else blocking his control?
His Regeneration ability didn't hold up too well either, and he had run out of Sharingan's to keep using his Izanagi ability. He would have used more of his Wood Release, but that was out the window, as Naruto had torn the limb that held that power, the right arm, from his body, before destroying it with Light Release.
Now here he was, panting, bleeding from just about everywhere, his Sharingan had just been removed by Naruto for some unknown reason. His lone, narrow eye kept a lock on the source of this beating and torture.
Kakashi looked winded and damaged, but not so much in comparison to Danzo. The grey haired male's stance was relaxed, showing true experience serenity to his surroundings.
Naruto also looked as experienced, but still had a tenseness to his form.
Danzo had thought that Kakashi would be the most troublesome of the opponents, only for Naruto's abilities and skills to prove his thoughts wrong.
He realized that the blond was using the very eyes that he had as a child, meaning that the Seals on the blond had been removed. His skin paled dramatically upon discovering this.
Their plan had failed, he now knew why the blond was in hiding for the last month.
He was training in his lost abilities.
He knew his Root had been defeated by the forces of the blond, and that those forces were behind him on the bridge to prevent his escape. Glancing back, he saw the Androids used at FFD and FFP stopping his escape. His failing mind clicked on as to where the real blond was during the month.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
'So he knows… he knows everything, huh… the lies of the Village, the false promises from Hiruzen. He sees through everything you set in stone for him. I warned you that this would happen, and now look. Your sins have doomed us all. Your sins are like a Black Hole, sucking everything in, destroying everything around it. But life still flourished in your darkness, and that whirlpool of fire will burn everything it touches.' He laments as he looked at Naruto with power, even if it was fading fast. He didn't even hear the landing of feet behind him.
Team Taka had arrived, and seeing Naruto and Kakashi look behind him caused the Hokage to look as well.
He might as well have been staring death in the eyes, with how demonic and fierce Sasuke's eyes were. Judging him for every sin he created, judging the Leaf for every sin it created.
"I also know everything, Danzo Shimura. Your death wouldn't have happened if you didn't cause the needless deaths of my Clan, forcing Itachi to live with the pain of everything your actions caused." Sasuke muttered out in distain and hatred, his eyes glowing and burning brightly with vengeance and death.
It had come full circle, with Danzo's death, the Uchiha will be cleansed of the darkness that removed it from this world.
"Self-sacrifice, that's what epitomises a shinobi. Never seeing the light of day, toiling in the shadows. That's the way of a true shinobi and not just Itachi. Countless shinobi have died the same way. This world could not function on ideals and pleasantries. It's thanks to people like him that peace has been maintained… The Uchiha Clan's demise kept peace in the world, if only temporary…" Danzo replied honestly with defiance. He was true to his convictions, the world desired peace, and sometimes… one has to let go to secure that peace and order.
The Hokage coughed up a glob of blood. He wasn't going to last much longer at this rate, but at least he'll have a chance to look back on his life, seeing how much he did wrong. If he believed he did anything wrong.
After all, he was an 'end justifies the means' type of person. He did anything and everything needed to bring peace, even if it was unethical and morally wrong.
"There never was peace, the world was still at war and fractured. It's a mirror that'd been dropped with the owner franticly trying to put the puzzle together once more. Only to get bloody hands and break more fragments." Naruto retorted, knowing that even during the Uchiha's downfall, numerous other battles were going on around the world, and more problems rising up from it, perfectly fitting as to what Naruto said in his speech to him.
"I can't die now…" Danzo started out desperately, as he tried to cling to life. He believed his journey wasn't over yet, he hadn't finished his mission in life. "I'll… do anything… to survive. I… am the only one… who can change this world… I will stop your plans to… to destroy it!" He cried out in the end, ready to activate his Reverse Four Symbols Sealing in order to stop the two friends' plans to destroy Konoha.
"You're an eyesore!" Sasuke stated with a dark edge, as he brought forth the upper body of his Susano'o, which was a purple ethereal being that possessed demonic horns, a long appendage on its chin, and a malevolent grin. Its armoured form resembles a long-nosed tengu, wearing a pair of magatama earrings, and having jagged teeth around its hood. The armour's mouth has a beak-like shape and looks somewhat ghastly.
He fires a purple arrow coated with black flames at Danzo, it fired very quickly from the bow manifested on the wrist of the left arm. The attack surges away and upwards into the sky, taking the Hokage with it.
"Blaze Release: Susano'o Flame Control!" He shouts as Danzo falls from the arrow, yet the arrow continued, before it seemingly exploded into hundreds of smaller ones, all of which head to the ground, with a number of them striking Danzo.
Soon enough though, Danzo could hardly be seen through the sea of purple needles from the sky. That wasn't the end, as an angry pitch black tornado of Amaterasu exploded from all of the arrows, covering the entire area.
Even from this distance, the heat could still be felt. Naruto did wonder what it felt like for Danzo. Oh well, he didn't care.
"Burn out." Sasuke finally said, as an arrow shot down into the tornado, followed by it exploding brilliantly, destroying everything around it. Black flames settled the area until the Uchiha finally stopped the flames with his eyes.
Naruto whistles in appreciation as he turns to face his friend. "That was a good bonfire." He then gets serious in both posture and expression. "I have much to tell you, brother. If you want, I can tell you on the way to what I think is the perfect place to create our new Village.
Sasuke focused all of his attention onto his blond friend. So the plan was still on, and Naruto hadn't been corrupted by the scum haven known as Konoha. "Alright, we'll catch up on the way there."
Kakashi, Team Animatronics, and Team Taka followed Naruto, as he went ahead to lead them on their trek to their new home. A place they could be truly safe, happy, and welcome.
As the group made their way away from the bridge, they missed the curious gaze of someone hidden in the shadows, a person who wore an orange mask.
Land of Whirlpools – Hidden Eddy Village Ruins – Friday
It took a few days to travel to the location, a location that Kakashi and Karin knew very well.
The Ruins of Whirlpool. The home of the Uzumaki Clan.
It took a few days longer by flight as they skirted around the Land of Fire to avoid any Shinobi from that country.
Naruto and Sasuke had caught up during the travels, with both of them learning about what the other had done during the time of their separation.
Naruto had to get his Uchiha friend up to speed about the darker secrets Konoha had, and even showed him the books of the Third and Fifth Hokages. To say Sasuke was happy was a total and utter lie, he was not amused at all by the Village of Konoha. He was tempted to destroy it using a meteor coated with Amaterasu to remove the stain from the world with the purity of the meteor.
To read that the Village truly didn't care much about his Clan broke Sasuke's heart. To think that Itachi was loyal to that scum hole, if his older brother had read this, Itachi might have changed his mind about who he killed that day.
After strolling through the ruined Village that seemed to have been composed of several high-rise buildings. The group came to a stop over a large, fragmented bridge that gapped a wide river which seemingly ran through the Village. There was evidence of at least another bridge, but that had faded into advance stages of decay, much like most of the Village.
The surrounding countryside was dominated by stunning, beautiful steep hills.
The Village itself was very large, it reached the coast to view the open sea, and some parts of the large settlement reached up the hills.
According to the maps of the whole island, there were various outposts, small population centres, and even plans to make a secondary Village on the opposite side of the island. There was even underground labs and bunkers on the maps left by Mito, but only map was blurred out.
But alas, that was not to be due to the untimely destruction of the mighty Clan.
But it could be rebuilt once more, with the help of the Nano Sphere and manpower, the glorious nation of Whirlpool will rise from the ashes like the mighty Phoenix.
It will be amazing.
"So this is the Hidden Eddy Village? This is the place where you want to build our Village, well rebuild anyway." Sasuke stated in the form of a statement and not a question.
This place, this whole island was perfect for their joint effort to renew the world of Gaia.
Naruto did indeed have a brilliant location for them, but lacked the Shinobi needed to run it smoothly. While he could just go around and gather Missing Ninja from various Nations, and add the people he found in Konoha whom wanted to leave it, it wasn't enough.
Luckly, Sasuke, had the opposite problem. He had a large number of Shinobi he could use, as he gathered many Ninja and allies in Sound and a few other places, but no Land to call home.
The Land of Whirlpools was perfect for them.
"Indeed it is, Sasuke. This is where the new Empire will rise. Today the Sun rises on the awakening of a new world." Marionette commented as she looked around the ruins of the once great, technologically advanced Nation.
Konoha was jealous of the powers and technology of the Uzumaki Clan, nothing more. The Will of Fire existed, but in the eyes of the strongest Animatronic, it was used to bully and destroy others. It wasn't a flame of peace, but a flame of tyranny.
That was something Sasuke and Team Taka had to get used to, the talking Robots with the souls of Naruto's dead friends in them. To think Hiruzen would kill innocent children to get what he wants, such scum wasn't needed in this world. It was a shame that the old fart had died years ago, otherwise Naruto would have tortured him for years until the old man finally died.
Upon learning that Naruto's dead friends now controlled the Androids was something interesting, and Kakashi had asked if anyone else could perform this deed of cheating death.
According to Marion, only people with the Life Eyes can do that with their own souls, and that to bring someone back to life you would need another Jutsu, much like the one Nagato used to bring everyone he killed back to life during the Invasion of Konoha.
Marion was only able to find the lost souls of the people killed by the agents of the Third, simply because they lingered for some time after their physical body died, and place them in the shells of the Animatronics, although she needed to create pseudo-Animatronic bodies for two of them.
The group stopped walking after an hour and arrived at the Village Square, which was just as ruined as the rest of the Village. Around it were smaller buildings, the nerve centre of the former community, because the larger building just ahead was the Kage Tower, which was a four story, circular based building made from brick work more stubborn and long lasting than those used elsewhere in the world. Some of the windows were still unscratched by nature and the attacks it must have gotten during the downfall.
Two other buildings existed one opposite sides of the nature filled square, one seemed to look like a traditional courthouse, and the other looked like a restaurant, namely FFD.
The centre square held a secret, which was in the monument in the middle of the square, which seemed to look like a rocket blasting off into the heavens, with the smoke trail attaching it to the base of the statue.
That secret was a circular indentation in the base, the standard shape of the most advanced object the Uzumaki Clan made, the basis of the majority of their technology. The Nano Sphere.
Before Naruto could even get the object to place inside the statue, footsteps that didn't belong to any of the teams reached their ears. The person in question walked up to them from the path that lead down to the Village, and the person's identity made the eyes of Team Taka, Naruto, and Kakashi widen in surprise.
The person in question wore an orange mask with a spiral pattern focused around his right eye, and has short, spiky, black hair. He wears a black long-sleeve top that covers his neck and chin, a pair of black gloves, a pair of dark-coloured pants, a long green scarf and standard sandals and white stirrups. On his waist, he wears a thick black belt with armour-like metal plates attached to it, and similar plates on his upper arms. He also wears had blue nail polish on his fingers and toes, and also wears a purple ring, which bears the kanji for "sphere", on his left thumb.
His visible eye, the right eye, is identical to the Mangekyo Sharingan that Kakashi wields in his left eye.
This man goes by the aliases' of Tobi or Madara. But in truth his name is Obito Uchiha.
"Madara…" Naruto says as he looks sharply into the lone eye of the self-proclaimed Madara before the group.
The air was still, a potent yet deafening silence echoed through the area between the two factions.
Tobi was dealing with Naruto now. The two stared deeply into each other's eyes, their wills silently battling each other through eye contact alone.
END
Now, this Chapter is done.
I've also noticed that I gave way too many nicknames to the characters in the last Chapter, so I've toned it down in this chapter.
I'm also now starting to write my own book. Chapter one has already been written, and I'm already liking where my story is going. I'm spending time writing that, so I will take longer to write up chapters for my Fan Fictions. I hope you understand.
These are the names of the girls that Naruto was around when he was younger, and the Animatronics that the souls of the girls now reside in:
Foxy = Yuuko
Bonnie = Maiko
Golden Freddy (Goldie) = Rei
Freddy (Freya) = Hitomi
Chica = Chieko
Toy Foxy/Mangle = Ryoko
Toy Bonnie (Bonbon) = Aika
Toy Freddy (Frannie) = Kayo
Toy Chica (Chicky) = Tomoko
Balloon Girl = Sachiko
Shadow Bonnie (RWQFSFASXC) = Anei
Purple Freddy (Rica) = Kumori
Marionette/The Puppet (Marion) = Rena
Fredbear (Fayebear) = Motoyo
Spring Bonnie (Spring) = Seika
So what do you all think, and no flaming either. I don't mind constructive criticism, but I can't stand people who just rip into it, not being constructive or giving any form of feedback that I could use to improve.
