Kagami had pulled all of the stops. Crowds of Uchiha lined up at their training grounds to view the fight for leadership. Children, adults, everyone was there. A hubbub of uproar chatter and bets being tallied waded into the ears of the two combatants. On one side stood Uchiha Fugaku and on the other stood Uzumaki, Uchiha Naruto.
"We are here by official decree to bear witness to the 998th clan head declaration. The chosen two fighters stand before us to battle in a trial by…" Mikoto was rudely interrupted by Fugaku's impatient mumbling.
"Get on with it Mikoto." He said, itching to start the fight.
Mikoto glared at Fugaku before gliding towards Naruto, dipping her head so she could speak in his ear, she spoke words that made him break into laughter. "Kick his ass for me."
"I plan to" He said as she walked to where he father was standing, his eyes glued to her ANBU clad posterior.
Fugaku showed his brashness or was it impatience when he didn't even wait for official instruction. His hands blurred rapidly into a signature fire technique. His mouth bulged before he expelled a giant stream of flames. ` Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu` (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)
Naruto was unsurprised by such an underhand move by his opponent and had already moved to counter act, he positioned his hand in the formation of the horse handsign. To onlookers who had their Sharingan's active it seemed he was literally moulding the chakra into shape.
`To deal with fire, I could defeat it with a Suiton jutsu or overwhelm it with another katon jutsu but with higher rank. Nothing would humiliate Fugaku more. ` Thought Naruto.
"Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku" (Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"
The evening turned bright as sunset, as waves upon waves of fire flowered out from Naruto's position, literally covering the distance between himself and Fugaku. The fire was of such intensity and immenseness, that even the furthest Uchiha from the flames could feel the hotness of the monstrous inferno.
Fugaku's Sharingan eyes, unknown to all began to change and warp into a different shape. Malevolent chakra seeping from his coils as he invoked upon the powers of Susano'o…
"Tell me outsider, have you ever faced a Susano'o?"
Naruto had no moment of respite as he stared openly at Fugaku's Susano'o, it was yellow in nature and towering in stature. The towering golden skeleton encasing him entirely as it manifested completely, Naruto's fire jutsu burning pitifully around it but futilely failing to break through.
"It is the end for you." Fugaku said manically, as he stood with his Mangekyō Sharingan raging and his face twisted with hatred. Kagami, Mikoto and the other watchful Uchiha observing the fight with trepidation.
Naruto smirked, a look that promised victory as he spoke in reply to Fugaku's barb. "Not really" taking satisfaction by the widening of his eyes. His Sharingan could gleam the minutiae details of Fugaku's face, no matter how subtle he tried to hide them from his all-seeing gaze.
"I'll wipe you out the face of the earth, you outsider, parading our sacred doujutsu with no right to do so!" As he spoke, his ire increased which only seemed to fuel his Susano'o that was still active. It grew in size, rising from 18 feet to 40. Its skeletal features beginning to unite muscle and tendons with bones, sinew of ligaments forming all over the ethereal humanoid warrior as it reached its final stage of maturation.
"That's quite the size Fugaku. Are you compensating for something down below?" Naruto said as he infused his voice with dry wit, causing raucous amounts of laughter to ripple through the crowd, even the most stoic of Uchiha cracking up slightly at the jab at Fugaku's masculinity. The most vocal of them laughing openly at his plight.
Everyone was shocked into silence as Fugaku unveiled another of his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, the very air lighting up at the amount of hellfire being produced in copious amounts, it caught the perception of everyone, afire with evil and utterly elemental that it made Naruto's hair stand on end. "Be gone with the flames" Fugaku said derangely as he expelled the butterfly of flames at his targets position, intent on burning him to a crisp.
In response Naruto channelled chakra into his three tomoe Sharingan, reverting it to a new shape that contained many powers. "Ōhoyamatsumi" At his intonation, a wave of gravity slammed into the cursed flames before they could reach his position, he crushed it ruthlessly into an orb of black hot shadowy mass and sent it back to its owner.
Fugaku's Susanoo protected him from much of the damage but the extensive usage of such techniques were beginning to take its toll on him. Every single spore of his body protested the continued use of the humanoid warrior and his other eye bleed freely from the frivolous uses of Amaterasu. He only had one viable option available to him left. His Sharingan genjutsu… He caught Naruto's onyx eyes with Mangekyō Sharingan filled irises and intoned.
"Tsukuyomi"
The ruined training ground, the surrounding Uchiha, Fugaku's Susanoo, all faded away like an artist's dissatisfied canvas to reveal a spiritual realm of darkness. The world consisted of a red moon casting arrays of crimson light throughout the illusion with a cloudy atmosphere, giving the background a blood red appearance, Naruto in the illusion was depicted in an inverted grey scale.
Such a powerful technique wasn't without cost however. Due to the complexity of the illusion and the quickness in which it was executed, an enormous amount of chakra was required, the amount of additional stress placed on Fugaku's left eye rendered his vison to near blindness.
Fugaku stared with a sneer at Naruto's form which was trapped, crucified and tightened quite harshly in a tall cross. "It's futile outsider, I'm a god here. I'll render your mind catatonic and give your body to feed the Inuzuka dogs." Even as he spoke, multiple apparitions of Fugaku were formed each holding katana swords intent on skewering Naruto.
Naruto did something Fugaku didn't expect. He broke out into laughter. "You a god? That's a good one fuggy. Do you even know what that word entails? You are merely in control of this illusion, that's all. Your Mangekyō Sharingan magnifies the control you have over this world, that might seem impressive to the average ninja. But not to me."
Fugaku seethed at Naruto's crass remarks and struck with his clones, attempting to pierce vital organs and invoke pain with katana's in hand. Unfortunately for Fugaku, the Rinnegan wasn't something that could be placed under direct genjutsu, the edges of Tsukuyomi began to get disturbed, spider like cracks appearing over every surface of the genjutsu. "You're weak Fugaku, just like your pitiful excuse for a genjutsu." And with that insult, Fugaku felt his mind fold in on itself, pain beyond anything he'd ever felt before, as he saw his Tsukuyomi shatter completely.
Fugaku couldn't even scream as he felt the ravages of the future flow through his head, the world of red and black was changed in an instant, a free falling Fugaku in a void of light replacing it, the intersects of time and space converging in a kaleidoscope as the majesties of such a vortex raced through his head in its entirety, threatening to bury him whole. Fugaku's mind was filled with sheer torment as the vortex swept over him mentally, each moment felt like an eternity as the oppressive presence of Naruto's skill washed over him, as he seamlessly forged a link using Fugaku's Tsukuyomi and reverted the genjutsu back on him.
"No…" Groaned Fugaku with a cracked voice, even with the combined might of his Mangekyō Sharingan he was helpless in viewing the relentless mental attacks aimed at his noggin. `I'm the heir to the Uchiha clan… I refuse to lose to an ingrate foreigner` With a new found resolve, Fugaku gathered his chakra in abundance and became aware of his eyes.
Fugaku and Naruto both hit the ground at the exact same time. Fugaku in a sorrier state then his opponent. His eyes in a state of complete and utter pain as if they were gouged out by hot pokers. `It hurts to use Sharingan… Must be the backlash of Tsukuyomi shattering, now's my chance to finish it though… I must strike now. ` thought Fugaku analytically, his eyes hardening with determination as he withdrew a lone kunai from his pouch, and channelled katon chakra across its girth.
Naruto hadn't expected that. `To think he had the strength to disengage from my hold, granted it wasn't my best but still. ` Naruto watched as Fugaku rise with shaking feet due to the illusionary torments he had undergone curtsy of Naruto reversing his ultimate genjutsu.
Fugaku and Naruto met half way, kunai in hand that was channelling an extreme amount of flames through its blade, he swung at Naruto who's only intent was to stand still and watch. The strike was getting closer and closer, just as Fugaku was about to deliver the final blow… He slipped through Naruto as if he was a ghostly apparition, and stumbled to regain his balance. In that moment of brief lapsing, for his troubles he received a brutal kick to the face sending him flying away.
Fugaku become roughly aware of his knees hitting the unforgiving training ground forcefully as he knelt there still and unmoving. His spine having been broken in pieces by Naruto's kick, the pain deliberating him so much that tears cascaded down his red and black orbs. `I have no choice… I have to use it to survive… Nothing seemed to work, even my Mangekyō Sharingan failed. What a monstrous shinobi ` Fugaku thought with grudging respect.
Fugaku removed the boundaries between reality and illusion within his own personal space, to such an extreme degree that it allowed him to control the state of his existence. Which he then weaved around him to nullify the damage done to his spine. The duality of chakra demanded reparations for such a godly technique, thus Fugaku's left eye closed forever…
The Uchiha seeing their should be dead kinsmen arise from the ashes began talking in earnest hushed whispers as if Fugaku was a messiah. Naruto from what he could gleam from his Sharingan heard the following;
"I heard the cracks of his back from here, he should be paralysed…" Said a nameless Uchiha.
Another Uchiha interjecting, "If we could replicate that technique then we can cement the Uchiha name through history!"
"Look at his eye! Its shut… Maybe that's a fundamental aspect to the jutsu."
Even Kagami's interest was stoked as he watched with newfound interest at the fight. `To think he awoke the Mangekyō… It's a shame, Fugaku is to prideful. He'd have made a brilliant soldier in the battle that is to come. `
Said Uchiha was expecting to appear at Naruto's blind spot with Izanagi, what he didn't expect was to be rooted to the spot. "Why can't I move…" said Fugaku with apprehension at his predicament.
Naruto smirked as pure Raiton (lightning style) chakra coalesced around his right hand. He channelled an even more abundance of chakra to increase the oscillations and cutting power, it was condensed in an incredibly small area and practically thrummed with power. "This is your end fuggy, Izanagi won't be able to save you from me…"
Naruto came at Fugaku fast, intent on cleaving him through with the Raikiri (lightning cutter). In his overwhelming desperation, Fugaku sent the last remnants of his chakra to his ocular doujutsu, causing it to brighten, in an instant chakra flared golden yellow around him as his Susano'o coated and stopped the Raikiri short. Or it would have done until the lightning gracing his palms sparked wildly and Naruto's left eye bled freely.
Amaterasu converged around the Susano'o and melted the humanoid chakra construct with ease. The inhibition out of the way opened the path for Naruto to strike with unflinching brutality. His hand ripping through clothes, skin, muscle and bone alike… Fugaku spat out a glob of haemoglobin, before shuddering and turning limp in Naruto's hand. His head loped to the side and thus sparked the end of Uchiha Fugaku…
AN:
Well what did you guys think of the fight?
I unveiled one of Naruto's many mangekyō Sharingan techniques. What did you think of it? And if you guys do have any mangekyō abilities, then please either review or PM me, I'd love to incorporate them into the story (I'll also accredit the person for their idea)
Fugaku is dead. What sort of change will this have for the future?
Anyhow! Review! Pwease, with strawberries and whipped cream on top!
