Panting softly Naruto stared at Sasuke's Susanoo which was currently protecting them from the infinite Tsukoyomi's influence. He sighed softly and lit another cigarette while Sasuke slowly released his Susanoo now that the initial effects are now over. They saw Madara's corpse fall from the sky as the moon goddess Kaguya floated in his place, staring down at them as if they were ants. He looked over at the fortification of his current Team, Kakashi and Obito looked shaken but in good condition, Kasumi and Sasuke looked good as new from their recent boost in power. Sakura was also in decent shape as she has seen little battle till now. He himself was in good shape, though a little low on chakra from his extensive use of his own Susanoo. He sighed and stood tall. "Alright, this is it. Kasumi, Sasuke, you need to do all you can in order to seal her. You are our only priority. Kakashi, Sakura. I need you two to prepare yourselves. We need to be ready to die here and now in order to ensure they get their hands on her." Sakura nodded glumly and Kakashi's eyes hardened. "Of course. If I die here I do not mind." Naruto nodded as he turned to face Kaguya. "Then let's do this." They all nodded and turned to her preparing for the battle they may end in all of their deaths.


Throwing a kick out at the head he had to streak away in crimson as she fired a hundred fists at him, forming his half bodied Susanoo he raised its arm forming the spinning beads in his hand "Yasaka Magatama!" Throwing the beads the spun at her in which she simply opened a portal and sent it back at him with a second portal, one of the eight black mirrors floating behind him came forward and blocked them, the explosion skidding his Susanoo back. He grunted as Sakura tried to throw a punch but had to dodge as she formed a floating sword of bone and tried to cut across her chest. She suddenly was thrown back as Kasumi screamed "Planetary Rasenshuriken!" Although she took little damage she screeched in frustration. Suddenly a swirl in the space near them opened and Obito Sasuke and Sakura dropped onto the ice scape. "I got him..." Kasumi grinned and Naruto looked at them as they regrouped. "Watch for her portals, she may try to take you apart again!" Kasumi and Sasuke nodded and stared up at her.

Sasuke formed his Susanoo and Naruto did the same, both going into their perfect forms and the flew up to attack her. She dodged around as they attempted to slash at her, they both attempted to burn her with their Amaterasu but she managed to dodge around them perfectly as Kasumi flew up along side them, using her truth seeker orbs to try to slice around her. She dodged around all there attack expertly as Kakashi used his Kamui, readied to dismember her which started to press her patients as she spun in the air releasing hundreds of bone needles, opening four portals shooting acid and lava around her. They dodged around the acid and lava attempting to press her with range attacks. Naruto sent another set of Yasaka beads aimed for her, Kaguya took them back into the portal and launched them back at Naruto before they were sucked into Kakashi's Kamui and redirected behind Kaguya, surprising her briefly as they exploded upon her, not doing damage but sent her reeling from the knock back as she took a punch to her head sending her to the ground, Sasuke released his Susanoo and fell drawing his blade as he slashed her as he fell and Kasumi formed another Planetary Rasenshuriken and threw it at her, Kaguya formed yet another portal and went through it quickly trying to grab Kasumi before she burst into black flames which clouded her vision before they slowly were staunched out due to her Rinne Sharingan. She let out a yell as another set of Yasaka Beads slammed into her from above giving Kasumi and Sasuke the chance to dash towards her. Naruto released his Susanoo and fell down towards her head.

Forming the arms of his Susanoo to fire punches rapidly as she formed vacuum fists around her sending hundred of fists at all of them which were countered on all sides as Sasuke, Naruto, Kasumi, and Sakura from under her retaliated and managed to over power her. Letting out a screech in shock she felt the seals start activating "Six Paths!" Kasumi and Sasuke yelled "Planetary Devastation!" Backing away quickly all of them watched as she yelled in agony from the stone and earth slamming to form another moon. They all let out a sigh of relief thinking it was all over until they felt a massive chakra spike, she had released all of her chakra in a wave, Naruto seeing the massive wall of pure chakra heading for them formed his Susanoo instantly and used off of his shields and his wings to block the blast. To his surprise all he saw was white and then he was falling.

Springing up from his bed he sighed as he held his bare chest. Slowly he reached over to the bedside table lighting another cigarette to calm down, sitting up in his bed as he slouched over and started to think over everything clearly "Honestly... What kind of ninja am I... Sure I have the power, I have so much power yes. But am I really a ninja? Since I got here I acted on Instinct so much, what in gods name is wrong with me... Itachi-Sensei... you taught me since I was four... You saved my ass so many times and have instilled in my mind how much stealth and deception are important. I gain my eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and all those teaching... Have they just gone out the fucking window?" His ramblings were quite as he sits still, the only movement being his hand as he moves it too and from his face to puff at the cigarette.

"Have... Have I fallen to the sickness of the Uchiha? Have I become too complacent in my own power to realize how much I am really being dumb?" He growled as he gritted his teeth "Am I no better than that sister of mine? That idiot trusting everyone she meets like they are her best friends... Damn..." He took a long drag from the cigarette as he held his head "Haku... Itachi... You are the only ones that keep me level headed... The only ones I have ever trusted with everything... Why couldn't I have been strong enough to save them..."

Growling he held his head, taking a deep drag off of the cigarette and sighed out in smoke. "What am I to do? I have spoken so much of myself already... I even told that team my base abilities..." He groaned and stared out the window into the fields behind the school. "Perhaps... I can train them to the best of my ability yes... Perhaps I should stay more closed off though... When this hunter of Ozpin's comes I shall hide as much about my prowess in combat as possible."

He sighed again taking another deep drag as he stared at his cloak. "Itachi-sensei... I wish you were here..." He gripped the tear drop shaped crystal around his neck. "Haku... I'm sorry..." He sighed again and walked over to his cloak, throwing it on himself, not one for mesh armors as he zipped it up two-thirds of the way up letting his pendant be shown while he walked out of the dorm.

Break

Naruto stared at the moon and threw a punch towards the air, testing his reach with a few punches before summoning about twenty clones. Looking over them all he slowly nodded. "Give me a good fight." They all nodded and got into battle stances before they all charged. Using the Transformation technique to change to various people he has fought, using their taijutsu and ninjutsu to boot. He drew his sword as he blocked the fake Kubikiribocho from Zabuza and threw a fast left jab which was dodged as he had to dodge a water shark from behind where Kisame was grinning. He jumped in the air forming seals "Great break through..." He whispered and blew out a massive wind storm which caught fire immediately and became a massive maelstrom of fire killing Zabuza and a couple B rank shinobi. Dropping to the ground he stared at the fifteen shinobi staring him down. Kisame, Kakashi, Sasuke, Kasumi, Obito, Madara, Konan, Hashirama, and Danzo to name a few, Along with a few of the Akatsuki. He readied his blade and stared them down. "Try and kill me then, see if you can." They all prepared their weapons and attacked.

Grinning ever so slightly Naruto dashed into the fray.


Grunting Naruto fell to his knees a dark black arm holding a Suprised Kakashi's arm as his lightning blade faded and he was crushed under the pressure of the Susanoo's grip. Naruto sighed as he looked over the battle ground, many chunks of earth were strewn across the ground. The beautiful grass now lay with gashed and hunks of dirt thrown everywhere. Naruto had multiple cuts and gashes across his body. He threw the burned out cigarette butt to the ground and lit another one, groaning he formed a ram seal and his body glowed green for a moment as his wounds slowly bound together, healing his body as he shut his eyes in concentration.

In nothing more than five minutes he stood and looked over the field, walking away back to the dormitory he stopped and glanced towards the school, glaring at a corner before he slowly walked towards the disturbance in his senses. Quickly he grabbed the person standing around the corner and sighed in relief finding it was simply Blake, her eyes stared at him in surprise as he let go. "I never knew you were so powerful..." He sighed again and shook his head. "Were you never told spying is wrong?" His voice was low as he turned and walked back towards the field, sitting down in the grass as he stared up into the night sky.

She followed and sat down next to him as he threw her an off handed glance, "Yes, I do hold some semblance of ability, though I hardly consider its power." She seemed curious on what he meant as he faces matched her thoughts. "What do you mean by that?" He looked her dead in the eyes for a moment then stared up into the sky again. "Power... It is such a vague term, isn't it? Power usually entails strength, fortitude and ability to do things most wouldn't in combat situations. But what about the power to handle your own mental battles, to fix problems that cannot be fixed with a simple punch? That is true power. The ability to fix any problem without conflict. I am a simple soldier, someone who needs another to fix the problems so I can handle the brute force experiences. I may have the brute ability but I have yet to gain power... I find it infuriating in that area because I still cannot find that ability."

She was shocked, what he said seemed so true, and so sad in revelation. She never really thought about what a simple term could actually mean. In fact, she never even gave a modicum of thought on it. She always just saw what was in front of her. "I-i see... I suppose you are right. What truly is power with no thought of might..."

He sighed again, taking a deep drag of his cigarette before blowing back out and closing his eyes. "I have grown quite the hubris in my ability ever since I began my search for power. I used to be so thoughtful back when I had... The only people I could call family. I was very powerful back then, able to lead and follow. But now... I am simply a soldier. I walked right in here and explained most details about my life within minutes of arriving, thinking I was safe because of my ability. I am so simple minded in these times I can barely stand myself. I just move forward now... In search of my true power."

She nodded as she hugged her knees to her chest and closed her eyes. "I think... You are already powerful... I think that you only have a clouded mind... Perhaps you need help, or perhaps you need people to fill the void that you have now... I honestly don't know. All I know is that you have a lot of trouble going on in your mind that is not very good for anyone... I am glad you did all that you did, I mean, we all got to meet you, and despite the minor disputes with Weiss and the... Very awkward situation of make us undress in front of you, we all like you to a degree... You are helping us so much and you have not even been here for three days. Maybe... Maybe we can all get along allot better together soon but, we wouldn't have this chance if you were like you want to be and refused any information... Just some food for thought."

He nodded and laid back in the grass. "I suppose you are right... I just wish I could have held more tact in explaining myself..." She nodded and smiled "Listen, how about this, tell me when you gain this power and we can have a nice long discussion on what exactly you gained from it." He grinned and laughed lightly. "Alright, let's do that sometime." She laughed softly and stared up into the night sky.

"Thank you... Blake..." She looked back at him. "Of course, I mean, we are teammates now." He smiled as he sat up. "I think training you all won't be so bad." Black got up and dusted herself off. "I'm glad, maybe tomorrow we will be able to unlock our chakra." He nodded. "Yeah, forgot to mention, if those seals are not activated within a week the ink might smear... Meaning I will have to repaint them." She groaned as the walked off "We better hurry up then." He just laughed.
