And so it ends it's fitting ending the tale where it first began so long ago thank you to all who've read and reviewed the fourth great war and its predecessor the fox among the rocks so now please sit back relax and enjoy this final chapter

The fourth great war

"So you do need me clearly the world is doomed without the great Uchiha clan" Sasuke boasted while they walked in a dark corridor under the Uchiha compound Naruto groaned behind them unfortunately the Teme was right

Flashback

Naruto walked into the Hokage office there in the room was Minato Jiraiya Kushina and "ack what's he doing here"

Sasuke scoffed "the Hokage has seen fit to assign me a mission though why a buffoon like you is here is beyond me" Naruto smiled "at least I didn't use my squad mate as Kawarimi material"

Naruto and Sasuke continued to glare at each other and if left unchecked would have broken into a fight right there in the Hokage's office

"Alright boys that's enough there will not be any fighting in my office" Minato said placing enough killer intent on the word not to make the two shiver in their sandals

"We have a mission for you we have a way to track the Kami no Sabaki and destroy it for the alliance" Naruto grinned he was one of the few people who'd seen what the Kami no Sabaki was capable of and to be honest it terrified Naruto

"That's awesome how are we going to do it" Naruto asked Kushina looked to Sasuke "Sasuke's going to open the Uchiha vaults and two monsters are going to save the world"

End flashback

Sasuke Naruto and Jiraiya reached the end of the hall candles sparked to life and a great steel door twelve feet tall painstakingly carved to look like the Sharingan eye stood in front of them

"so was arrogance a familial trait or is your charming personality because of your loony brother"

Sasuke glared "hold your tongue peasant or die by the Uchiha Saber" after threatening Naruto with his jutsu Sasuke turned away from Naruto and walked to the gate slitting his palm with a kunai he smeared the blood on the door hidden mechanisms turned and clicked before the door slid silently away from the wall and out

Sasuke Naruto and Jiraiya stepped inside the Uchiha clan vault was filled with weapons armor paintings and enough gold to fill the Sandaime's head on the Hokage monument

At the center of it all was a porcelain urn on a pedestal inexplicably Naruto felt drawn to the urn but Jiraiya held him back "I wouldn't if I were you" he said

"He's right Naruto in there is a true monster and the only good thing the Uchiha clan was capable of doing" Kyubi said in Naruto's mind

Red chakra seeped from the edges of the urn splitting into nine branches each with it's own demonic face that looked at everyone "well now visitors it's been so long if I knew company was coming I would've made tea"

"The Kyuanaka"

"The Kyuanaka" Jiraiya and Kyubi said "the nine headed chimera" Sasuke said "we have a task for you"

A majority of the nine heads turned to Sasuke but everyone felt the demonic eyes of the Kyuanaka on them

"Naruto let me take over" Naruto nodded stepping forward his eyes turned red and slit like a demon "Hello 'old friend' it's been a while"

All nine heads turned to Naruto "Kyubi oh what a happy day how long has it been" all eighteen eyes narrowed and monstrous killing intent filled the vault "Since you held me down while those accused brothers sealed me into this miserable piece of pottery"

Naruto well Kyubi in control of Naruto's body rolled his eyes "ancient history nine hundred years ancient" Kyubi said sarcastically "nine hundred and twenty years six months two weeks four hours twenty seven minutes and 30 seconds now 31 32 33 34

"WE NEED YOUR HELP" Kyubi shouted "we need to work together like we did in the old days please"

The every head of the Kyuanaka grinned "oh but of course 'old friend' but you know I can't synchronize our chakra's without a certain proximity

"Are you asking for a jinchuriki my Naruto certainly has the room and there is a seal master present" Kyubi asked

"Certainly not the urn just has to be carried in your presence but of course Asura and Indra made sure to seal it in such a way that only one of their blood can maintain the seal or else well" the Kyuanaka grinned even wider "it's been so long since I've stretched my wings so Kyubi do we have a deal"

"For the sake of the world 'Old friend' we have a deal" Kyubi said

In an underground lab Mara typed at keyboard built into the central pillar of the lab she then turned to Orochimaru "Hebikage sama the Kami no Sabaki will fire in two hours as ordered"

Orochimaru stepped out of the shadows "excellent as always Mara make sure everything is operational by this times end this war will end"

Mara nodded with a smile "as you command father" Mara then turned back to the keyboard and continued to type

Orochimaru left the laboratory Kabuto following behind him "well Kabuto" Orochimaru asked "is the rat moving through the maze as expected" Kabuto pushed up his glasses "indeed actually we had the fortune of drawing some of the rat's blood while we removed some cheese from the maze"

Orochimaru grinned "how fortuitous for us then continue with the rat as you see fit after all it will be put down today" Kabuto nodded "I'll make do Orochimaru Sama I always do"

Orochimaru stopped walking and turned to Kabuto the ceiling above them rumbled the lights flickered dust rained down onto the two "mobilize all forces protect the firing chamber at all costs"

Kabuto nodded "Hai Orochimaru sama" Kabuto said leaving with a shunshin above them on the surface hundreds of ninjas were launching ninjutsu into the valley of the end a fitting place for Orochimaru's last stand to be

Minato and the rest of the five kage raised their hands ordering the attacks to stop "all forces prepare to enter the enemy base remember leave no survivors" the response to Minato's order was battle cry thousands strong that made the great stone statues of Hashirama and Madara shake in their sandals as the shinobi charged in among them a certain three ninja

"ready Kurotsuchi Chan" Naruto asked with a grin Kurotsuchi rolled her eyes "remind me to hit you when this is over"

Gobi smiled "we both know Naruto will never do that" the three then leapt into the air with the others Naruto and Gobi weaving hand signs then biting their thumbs

"Kuchynose jutsu"

In a cloud of smoke and a powerful bang Hathi and Shin appeared in the valley Naruto and Gobi landing atop their heads Kurotsuchi after summoning Mufasa landed behind Naruto

In the lake disturbed by the rumbling seals came to life releasing a horde of giant snakes that flew up out of the water and wrapped around the summons from the water Orochimaru's shinobi charged as well

Naruto batted two with a kick off of Hathi Kurotsuchi and Mufasa charged pouncing on the snake Kurotsuchi making hand signs as she went "Yoton scorching rock jutsu" she called firing two lava balls that flew at the snake it withered before it tightened around Hathi Naruto made two shadow clones who began to work on rasengans in his hands "Hathi full size toss"

Hathi nodded "Right cadet Elephant Ninpou Pachyderm monolith jutsu" Hathi rumbled and expanded to his full size towering over the with a mighty trumpet that stopped both armies cold Hathi raised his front leg and crushed down on one of the snakes the tremors caving in the river floor beneath water poured into Orochimarus hideout

"Gobi Kurotsuchi chan" Naruto called leaping from Hathi's head weaving through hand signs "operation bug zapper" Kurotsuchi nodded followed Naruto weaving through hand signs "Yoton scorching rock jutsu/Doroton mudball jutsu" Kurotsuchi fired a lava ball at the receding river water hitting a patch the volcanic rock cooled into an island the size of a platform the mud hit next spreading out over the lava before it cooled doubling the islands size Gobi joined Naruto and Kurotsuchi on the island

Gobi pulled out a sealing scroll and unsealed the sheath he received from Kiyomaru during the rainforest mission so long ago drawing the twin lightning swords Himmelsruh he held his arms out and then stabbed the separate pieces of the sword into the island

"Raiton volt body jutsu" lightning surged over Gobi's body before it flowed into the swords then into the ground and finally into the river lightning arced and flew electrifying the snakes and the enemy shinobi leaving the members of the alliance untouched

The lightning then flew back to Gobi who with a powerful yell took his hands off Himmelsruh and slowly stood up to display that much control over lightning is why he was one of the Sannin of Iwa

And now the whole world knew it "Gobi you good" Naruto asked Gobi nodded "head through Naruto Kurotsuchi and I will cover you"

"Yeah Naruto go and remember to kick some ass for me while you're at it" Kurotsuchi said Naruto nodded and ran through the hole into the serpents den him and six thousand comrades

Orochimaru's eyes changed into the Sharingan his back bending unnaturally far while Minato flew over him with a kunai pointed forward Orochimaru planted his hands on the ground and flipped up kneeing Minato in the stomach sending him flying up from his mouth Orochimaru ler loose a next of angry vipers Minato flashed away before the hissing snakes could sink their fangs into his body

Orochimaru grinned as he landed with a crouch standing up dusting off his hands "I'll give credit where credit is due Minato Kun the old toad surely made you a man fitting of the title Hokage"

Minato flashed across from Orochimaru "to be honest Orochimaru senpai I always thought the same of you it's a pity such a prestigious shinobi would sink so low to gain what he already has"

Orochimaru shook his head "is this your attempt to bring me back to the village Minato it seems student and teacher aren't so different"

Minato shook his head "no this was the distraction now" Minato yelled stone spires rose up pinning around Orochimaru the stones began to leak gold dust that flew forward lashing out and binding Orochimaru's limbs

Lightning then sparked along the gold dust spreading and magnetizing it to every inch of Orochimaru's body

"Yoton lava monster jutsu" the new Godaime Mizukage Mei Terumi called out launching a wave of lava over the gold dust prison encasing the sannin in another layer

Minato finally placed his hands on the ground a Fuinjutsu spread out from his hands trapping Orochimaru the kanji for bind at the center the five kage appeared

"Collaboration jutsu gokage no binding"

From inside his prison Orochimaru chuckled and laughed cracks began to form on the prison the sealing jutsu tightened trying to contain the sannin but they grew larger and larger

"Futon great breakthrough Katon Hebikakkyuu no jutsu" Orochimaru called using the two jutsu's at once he broke free of the prison stepping forward slowly the snake sannin grinned

"don't move Orochimaru" Onoki said his hands forming a cube Orochimaru laughed darkly "I'm very aware of the Jinton around me Onoki but are you aware" a white snake slithered up Onoki's back it's fangs aimed at his neck along with the other kage

"These are guardian serpents protectors of the great snake sage of Ryuchi cave twitch as much as a finger and their fangs will be in you jugulars faster then you can blink and of course it's very painful" the snake sannin grinned "it would see we are at a stalemate"

"The only one afraid to die is you Orochimaru" Onoki said Orochimaru shook his head "on the contrary Onoki-

Orochimaru pulled reached up to his collar and pulled down the end of a black rod stuck out the side of his neck the veins around the wound were black as the sannins hair the skin had a deep purple coloration almost like an eggplant

-I have not been afraid to die for some time now in fact it's an inevitability for me"

"This was given to me by the leader of the Akatsuki Pain though they a group of S rank shinobi address him as Pain Sama I briefly a member of the Akatsuki disagreed with Pain this was my severance package"

"Why haven't you removed it surely you have the resources for a simple field dressing" A asked

Orochimaru shook his head pulling up his collar "the rod in my neck is connected to Pain's chakra network to remove it would alert Pain to my still being alive as far as the so called 'god' and his organization are aware Kabuto is acting under my name while I gathered the necessary resources"

"Resources for what" Mei asked

"To save the world" Gorudo laughed "you save the world when pigs fly" Orochimaru laughed "I'd put netting on your pig pens then" Orochimaru touched a hidden radio in his ear

"activate the Kami no Sabaki" he said Mara's voice sounded on the other end "hai father"

The lab that contained the Kami no Sabaki sealed it self shut Mara typed furiously on the computer pulling out a key she put it into a slot and turned it "initiate" she said

The computer glowed red as a massive amount of chakra rose from somewhere in the floor and up through the pillar

Gobi swung his segmented staff hitting an enemy shinobi in the head Kurotsuchi copied him and knocked out another with a uppercut to the jaw

"that's forty nine so far for me you" Gobi swung the ends of his staff before stabbing them sideways knocking down two more shinobi "fifty one"

Before Kurotsuchi could attack the remains of the river glowed red "Gobi run for it" Gobi saw the water too and nodded the two of them leaping away the red chakra flashed up through the air like a rocket flying high through the sky this lasted for thirty seconds before the chakra faded

"Was that what I think it was" Gobi asked Kurotsuchi nodded gravely "Kami no Sabaki"

"what do you think it was targeting"

Rippled purple eyes of the Rinnegan appeared on the statue of the outer path followed by the holographic image of Pain "let us begin"

On the other fingers the holographic images of the Akatsuki appeared "let us begin the sealing of the schichibi jinchuriki" the members of the Akatsuki made their hand signs

"Fuinjutsu nine phantom dragons" they called as the sealing jutsu began far above the Akatsuki a large rock orbited the earth

The red chakra flew up and collided with thousands of mirrors on the surface of the rock the mirrors redirected the chakra down to earth moving faster than Shinra Tensei it flew down obliterating it's target and everything the forests burned the mountains crumbled and the rivers became barren

For generations to come children in schools would learn about the barren wastelands that stood between the land of fire and wind and how it used to be known as the land of rivers

Orochimaru grinned and pulled the rod free from his neck dropping it to the ground with a thud "it is done" he said falling to the ground with a thud the sannin Orochimaru was dead

Without their Shodaime Hebikage Orochimaru's hideout quickly fell the allied armies left a small occupying force to take care of prisoners free Orochimaru's experiments and destroy any and everything linked to Kami no Sabaki

Sasuke Uchiha still with the urn containing the Kyuanaka on his back frowned clenching his fist looking about the lab that had once contained the power source for Kami no Sabaki drained dry after it was used

"We'll just have to get more now won't we Sasuke" the Kyuanaka hissed in his mind Sasuke grinned "yes"

"Hey Uchiha San" Tenten said "come on we have to keep moving Hokage's orders" Sasuke turned and grabbed Tenten by the neck holding her up cracks began to appear on the urn

"What are you doing" Tenten choked out "we're on the same side"

Sasuke grinned "no we're not" red chakra coated Sasuke's fist and with a slit sound Tenten's body dropped to the floor Sasuke holding her head by the top part of of her neck Sasuke grinned

"You're going to pay for that Teme" Naruto said dropping the same from his usual insult to the Last Uchiha "Kyubi sensed you using the Kyuanaka's chakra and we came running" Naruto said looking sadly at Tenten "we should have gotten here sooner"

Sasuke dropped the urn the antique porcelain cracked easily red chakra flew up briefly taking the form of a great demonic bat a mane of eight serpent like necks rose from the base of its neck each ending with a long demonic head a quarter the size of it's main head the red chakra dove down onto Sasuke's body

"I thought you didn't want a jinchuriki" Kyubi said the red chakra solidified over Sasuke turning a dark grey his hair became white and his eyes glowed bright red

"He's not the jinchuriki I AM" The Kyuanaka shouted throwing a punch that sent a funnel of air flying towards Naruto Naruto flew up through the ceiling and up into the valley

Kyuanaka Sasuke grinned bent low bat wings sprouted from his back with a sickening snap stretching out his wings he flew through the hole and up into the valley

"Katon fireball jutsu" he hissed demonically before breathing out a blue fireball towards Naruto made his own hand signs "Doroton angry Kurotsuchi shield" the ground turned to mud and rose up making a shield in front of Naruto

Under the intense heat of the Demonic Katon jutsu the shield began to crack seconds ticked by Naruto rolled out of the way just as his jutsu was broken running up along the cliff wall he leapt backwards kicking Sasuke in the head Sasuke grabbed his foot and threw him back Naruto grinned as he turned into a pile of mud

"Tsuchibi" the real Naruto called punching Sasuke in the face with his original jutsu quickly forming it on his other hand "Tsuchibi again" he called hitting him in the stomach sending him crashing down to valley below

Naruto landed panting using two Tsuchibi in a row had taken a lot of chakra anyone but him doing that would probably've died

Kyuanaka Sasuke stood up the damage the Tsuchibi did barely left a scratch "kill you" he hissed like a snake

"Kyubi I need chakra" "How much" Naruto nodded grimly remembering what that one man said how

the prince will become your equal and you will battle in a titanic battle that will remind people of the battle of Hashirama and Madara

he wondered how that man knew that and what rabbit hole he went down but right now he didn't care all he needed to do now was stop Kyuanaka Sasuke "all of it" Naruto made hand signs red chakra surrounded him

"Five gods of chakra" the chakra glowed and Tsuchi Rai Ka Sui and Fu the five elemental aspects of Naruto's chakra appeared each surrounded by red chakra all five were covered in version one cloaks the original Naruto had two "let's go everyone"

"Hai" the called each charging at Kyuanaka Sasuke Fu and Ka reached him first double teaming him with a fire wind combo uppercut to the stomach that sent Sasuke flying Sui gathered available water and fired it at Sasuke sending him to Rai who leapt through the air grabbing him with a midair suplex that sent him towards Tsuchi who hit Sasuke with a powerful hammer fist

Kyuanaka Sasuke wasn't idle during this red fire flowed over Tsuchi tearing him apart the others grew angry at this and charged Ka turned into a fire ball and flew at Kyuanaka Sasuke

Kyuanaka Sasuke dodged but Ka was a living fireball that quickly changed course Sasuke looked at Ka "Katon vacuum" Kyuanka Sasuke said waiting for Ka to get close before he inhaled deeply Ka didn't stand a chance and was sucked in Kyuanaka then turned to Fu and released Ka the two were hit dead on

Sui and Rai worked together and raked their Kyubi claws against Kyuanaka Sasuke's face cutting through his demonic face it quickly healed turning it three crossed lines of scars on his once handsome face Kyuanaka Sasuke grabbed Sui and Rai and slammed them together the two elements reacted naturally and fell to the ground

The ground rose up around Kyuanaka Sasuke "Doton mountain sandwich" a horribly burned Tsuchi said slamming them together crushing Kyuanaka Sasuke's wings Tsuchi fell to the ground with a smile on his face

"We leave the rest to you Naruto"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other both Naruto and Kyuanaka Sasuke were on their last legs using this much demonic chakra was having it's effects

"you have to stop this Sasuke" Naruto said "it doesn't have to be this way"

Kyuanka Sasuke said beneath the demonic posseion of the chimera "the Kyubi beat the Kyuanaka and you beat me it's how we bonded I don't care what happens to me Naruto Uzumaki I could care less if the Uchiha clan dies here and now" Sasuke formed the Uchiha Saber on his left hand Naruto made a Kyubi needle with his right

"As long as you die with me NARUTO" Naruto charged too "SASUKE" he shouted both threw their jutsus stabbing each other through the chest in what was once a sunny sky storm clouds formed and rain began to fall as if the heavens were weeping for the two shinobi bleeding on the ground of the valley

"I now pronounce you husband and wife Uzumaki Sama you may kiss your bride" a sixteen year old Naruto with close cropped blonde hair and a big grin on his face nodded

"Don't mind if I do believe it" moving his body to wrap his arms around his new wife exposing for all to see the scars he had over his chest from the fourth great ninja war

He was lucky his father had sensed the chakra and with Hiraishin taken both Naruto and Sasuke back to the hospital and to Tsunade it was touch and go but after twelve hours of surgery Naruto had survived

Sasuke due to being possessed and his injuries died on the operating table with a smile on his face an anomaly for anyone who'd known the Uchiha personally

For all the time Naruto was in the hospital before he returned home Sakura hadn't left his side since

And speaking of Sakura she was currently in Narutos arms her cherry blossom hair could not be contained by her Tsunokakushi and cascaded down her the white silk of her wedding kimono to her the small of her back perfectly matching the hem of her kimono and her pink diamond wedding ring Sakura shook her head "Baka" she said lovingly before the two kissed much to the approval of the crowd

The two stopped kissing after a moment and turned to the guests the priest cleared his throat "it is my honor to introduce Yondaime Tsuchikage Naruto Uzumaki and his Lady Sakura Uzumaki"

The crowd cheered near the back Kaya Uzumaki sat with her sister watching with pride as he and his new wife walked back down the aisle there was peace Konoha and Iwa were allies her nephew had a happy life that he now shared with his new bride

And all because she got a letter from her older sister

And on this day June fifteenth two thousand and sixteen we hold these truths to be everlasting that all men are created equal and the love of Naruto Uzumaki will never vanish from this earth
