Naruto took a deep breath as he looked at the exit of the cavern, in his pack was loaded scrolls of artifacts, what he could probably describe as The End of the Taiyo era. If Naruko became the first queen of Taiyo, that means depending on the average, there was probably almost seven hundred years of rule and dynasty with the Uchiha Clan ruling.
Taking a look at the forest below, forest of dead trees, with other mountains separating sections of small forests and hills. There was a large running river in the middle, but the land itself looked almost dead.
Activating Sage Mode, Naruto senses that the so-called Ever-Flow of Natural Chakra flowed around this area, instead of through it, he just took a deep breath and looked at the rising sun.
Jumping off the cliff, using his Tailed Beast Mode to drift in the air by forming chakra wings, he landed softly on the ground. He couldn't fly with those wings, he could glide with them, which was beneficial if he ever fell from a great height.
The large dark spot under him was now directly below, straight down, Naruto took a moment to press his finger against the cold ground.
He could trace amounts of Natural Chakra flowing toward the dark spot in the ground, the mass of dark chakra, this Ghidorah, was killing the land around it. Apparently, not only was it ancient, but it was manifesting its own chakra.
Becoming alive in a sense.
Sighing, looking at the desolate forests, Naruto just saw the desolate lands around him. There was no huge black pool of dark chakra, no obvious direct linkage to Salem. He took a walk toward the stream, finding that the life around it was barely there.
Activating his Tailed Beast Mode in conjunction with Sage Mode, Yang Chakra flowed from Naruto's hands as he saw a silver bird laying on the ground. Focusing hard on it golden chakra leaked from his hand, into the silver bird, and he watches as it slowly got up and began to flutter its wings.
"Saiken would allow us to speak to it."
"Really, Kurama, that's Saiken's ability?"
"Just like Shukaku's is the manipulation of sand and dust."
"You and Matatabi allow me to sense evil and lies, I'm guessing Chomei could let me speak to insects."
"No, he'll allow your flight."
"I definitely need to get everyone back."
"I know you don't like the title Naruto, but in all essence, so long as we are together…we are a God."
"My biggest fear with that is becoming like Kaguya did, I don't want that title because I'm scared of myself."
"That is understandable."
Naruto watched as the silver bird took flight, he smiled it flew healthy and strong, he then looked at the ground as he had saved it from. It was barren, dark brown grass littered the area. His cloak dispersed off his body as he still remained in Sage Mode.
He walked toward the river, the streams were barely flowing, and so he walked across it. Suddenly as he did a large black tentacle emerged from it. Naruto's eyes widened as he jumped back, forming a Rasenshuriken and throwing it hard into the stream.
A black squid-like Grimm was taken up from sudden waterspout caused the Rasenshuriken, indicating that the stream was much deeper than at first glance. Naruto turned around in time to see a massive horde of Grimm coming his way.
"Well," Naruto smirked as he activated his Tailed Beast Cloak, "found The Black Zone."
A Sky Feilong screeched in the air as it barreled down on Naruto, it opened its mouth, firing a beam of electricity at the blonde. However, Naruto responded by merely throwing a few mini-Rasenshuriken up the stream.
It easily cut away at the lightning, and the wind spheres resulting from the minis sliced apart the Feilong as if it was just paper. Naruto then turned his attention to massive amounts of Beowulfs charging to him. Taking a deep breath, he smirked as he suddenly became a bolt of light.
The bolt of light traveled between the beasts, streaking across the ground, in some moments the air, and finally came to a stop behind a large Alpha Beowulf. Naruto had a kunai in his hand as he exited the boltlike path, he then heard the screeches of Grimm dying behind him.
"You run the risk of waking up this King Ghidorah."
"So, it'll give you two a chance to cut loose."
"Hehehe, I will enjoy every moment of it."
Turning his attention toward three cyclops running toward him, the blonde huffed and rolled his eyes as he pointed his hand at them.
"Matatabi-Chan!"
"Tiger, Horse, and Tiger again!"
"Right!"
Naruto formed the hand seals, taking a moment to spin on his feet once and then blew blue flames from his mouth. "Fire Style: Cat Hairball!"
The flames split in midair, engulfing the cyclopes in front of him, burning them to ash no sooner than the flames hit. He then got an idea, forming three clones next to him, Naruto looked at two of them and they nodded as they jumped back.
"Guess this'll be good training, time for a three-way combination Jutsu!"
"Channel my chakra through you as well, form fists by you."
"Me as well!"
Naruto had chakra hands spout under his main arms as his clone protected him, he watched the two that jumped back form a Rasenshuriken in each of their hands. Naruto smirked as the chakra arms he had created, four extra in total, began to weave hand seals as they turned dark blue and red, his hand finished his hand seals first.
"Ice Style: Frosty Mist Jutsu!" Naruto blew forth a mighty mist from his mouth after the announcement.
The trees, the Grimm, and whatever dead foliage in front of him became frozen solid as he spun on his heel. The Grimm around him, at least nearest to him, froze almost instantly. The hand seals finished on the channeled arms from Matatabi and Kurama. Naruto nodded, jumping up.
Four Rasenshuriken screeched to life in the other clones' hands, each holding one in their left and right hand. Naruto watched as they threw the Rasenshuriken and they all scattered around him, impacting masses of Grimm that had gathered in masses.
Naruto wasn't done as he felt the hands point out and heard both of his tailed beasts roar inside of him.
"Fire Style: Great Fox Spring!"
"Fire Style: Nekomata Eruption!"
Kurama's Jutsu fired off first, sending two large balls of flames into the spinning wind domes, igniting them as it suddenly became a bright red flame twister. Matatabi's became a flamethrower like a blast, igniting the other two Rasenshuriken in a blue flame tornado.
Landing back on the ground as the clones dispersed, taking a deep breath, Naruto watched as the four twisters made of dual-colored flames circled around him. All of them ending at the same time with embers of red and blue flying around him.
Taking a moment to revert back to Sage Mode's sensory abilities, Naruto felt the ground shake. He scoffed as he felt it shake some more, watching as several Sky Feilong flew higher into the air. Something big was coming, slowly, but surely a giant head emerged from the ground.
"It is an ugly creature, look at the horns on its head, like a bodyless dragon."
"Matatabi-Chan, I think its bigger than a hundred meters."
"How big do you think it is Naruto?"
"One hundred and twenty."
"That's slightly bigger than Kurama."
"Hehehe, this means I'll need you both if you don't mind."
It stood almost thirty meters in of itself, then two more came up, they screeched in a series of howls and clicks. Naruto watched as it looked directly at him, the blonde smirked as he winked at it. No fear, he didn't fear this demon, he wouldn't fear it.
He wanted to kill it!
Suddenly the wings emerged from behind it, it began to dig itself out, standing just above eighty meters now. Its large two tails swung behind it, ending in scorpion like stingers at the end. It screeches, releasing a wave of wind as it flapped its wings.
As it stepped out of its hole, Naruto looked up at it as he ran backward in a golden bolt of light.
Raven was moving her bandit camp, only for the skies to start darkening, a foul energy sweeping over the land as trees began to lose color around her. She felt it, life energy, draining from the area. Then she looked up at the mountain, watching as a massive Grimm's head emerged.
"I thought that coward was lying," Raven shook as she looked up at it, "The Grimm Beast of The Skies...King Ghidorah!"
Blake had been tracking Naruto, she was about to come over the mountains to where his path ended when the ground started to quake. She looked up, seeing the massive dragon-like head of King Ghidorah searching for a victim.
She dashed around a path on the mountain, coming to view the dead forest the massive Grimm had started to take steps in. Following a familiar trail of light, she was stunned, it was Naruto!
"Is he crazy, he needs to run, we need to go warn Mistral!" Blake froze up as the beast roars.
It then turned its gaze from him…to her.
It opened its middle mouth, forming a black ball of energy, the two other heads slowly formed black balls pointed directed at where Naruto was.
"Oh, crap baskets," She froze out of fear.
Naruto suddenly appeared in front of her as it launched the black ball at her, a giant claw formed over Naruto's hand as he knocked the first ball away with ease, sending it skyward where it exploded. The next two came in unison, he formed another claw with his left hand and grabbed them both.
He growls as the balls ground in his chakra claws, roaring out, he then tosses them into the air where they exploded with the force of a large bomb.
A bomb large enough to level an entire town.
His golden cloak whipped and snapped around him as a little bit of blue came into it. He took a deep breath, turning to her.
There was anger in his eyes, royal anger.
"I should've known better, the bookstore, the fact you got a seat next to me, telling me your deepest secret. Yeah, had me played friend," he hissed at her.
She backed away from him, afraid, no terrified. "W-what are you?"
He grabs her with a chakra arm as he spoke, keeping her next to him. "I'm not having this talk right now, just know if you want to live, stay close to me."
"Bu-But, that Grimm, it's too big for you." Blake whimpers as was scared out of her mind, she felt a light come around.
Naruto took a deep breath, " it is not big enough for me, trust me on that…"
Naruto leaped from the mountain as it crashed its mouth down on it, tearing the top off with ease. It then turned around and spat it the duo when they landed in the barren forest. Naruto heard Blake scream as the stone came toward them until a giant golden fox emerged around him and smashed it to pieces.
"Ah, it feels good feeling the winds whip around me once more~" Kurama moans out as he stretches, looking at the massive beast in front of him, "and here I thought Shukaku was an ugly bastard."
Blake was shaking as she noticed that Naruto was letting go of her, despite them standing in the giant fox's head, she no solid ground beneath her. She gripped his arm before she watches him roll his eyes and creates an ice sheet on his arm that made her slip off.
She was sure that it was the end until she didn't feel herself move. "W-What?"
"You're surrounded by my Chakra, and Kurama's Chakra, it acts as a sort of holding that binds you in the most protected part of the manifestation. You will not fall out, you will not die, now sit back and just watch." Naruto orders her as he jumped out of Kurama's head.
"Oi, when did Kitty Cat get here?" Kurama inquired as he looked down at Naruto.
"When she decided to try and play games, curiosity almost killed the cat!" Naruto yelled back up at him, and then he slammed his palm into the ground.
Matatabi suddenly emerged and leaped out at King Ghidorah, grabbing its midsection before biting one of its necks. Kurama, in turn, leaped up and grabbed one of its heads before it could fire off its own version of a Tailed Beast Bomb at her.
Naruto was on the ground as he felt a presence, suddenly a large wave of sand headed for him, his eyes widened as a tornado formed near the sand and headed right for Matatabi.
"Matatabi, Kurama!" Naruto warns them with a yell, "Shadows!"
Kurama and Matatabi back off the giant Grimm, dodging even a large blue ball of flame that impacted just in front of the King Ghidorah with the tornado. Suddenly the beast flapped its wings and jumps away from the massive blue flame tornado.
Its wounds were healing!
Naruto stood his ground as he formed a Rasenshuriken and threw it at the incoming wave of sand, disrupting the flow, only for a man in glowing tannish brown cloak to appear next to him, he already had his claw-like weapons poised to stab Naruto.
The blonde ducked under them before following through and crashing his foot into the man's face, sending him away with a powerful impact. The man in the cloak laughs manically as he straightened himself out, allowing himself to impact several trees in front of Naruto before easily getting back up.
Naruto looks over to where Kurama and Matatabi were charging back at King Ghidorah, he then turned to the man.
He growls out as he got ready in a fighting stance. "Who are you?"
"Tyrian Callow, right-hand man to The Goddess that is Salem, and you are the lamb for whom I must spill the blood. I shall do so gleefully, giving your soul to her majesty, and shall make me all powerful and give me a bountiful source of entertainment. Hahaha, hehehe, WAHAHAHAHA!" Tyrian screamed in laughter as he revealed his stinger.
He and Naruto charged at one another.
Blake was nearly hyperventilating as Kurama leaps up and grabs a head-on King Ghidorah before ripping it off with the sheer strength he possessed. Matatabi tackled the massive beast again, this time making it stumble back toward Kurama.
Kurama reached down and grabbed both its tails with its claw-like hands, he growled as one of the heads turned around and began to have lightning crackle from it. Matatabi suddenly leaps above the beast, taking the large electric beam for Kurama, she screamed out as it drove her down into the ground.
"Matatabi!" Kurama calls out in concern.
Matatabi gets up, "Do it!"
Kurama roars out as he ran backward, King Ghidorah roars out as it felt itself being dragged, the head that had been ripped slowly reforming. It screams as Kurama spun and lifted it off the ground, throwing it into a mountain nearby.
Blake was slowly getting a hold of herself, she watched as Kurama and Matatabi formed large purple-like balls over their mouths. She then watched as red and blue orbs flew into the mixture, they then roared out as they fired them toward the mountain.
Her eyes widened when they impacted, a large explosion leveling the mountain!
"W-what are you all…" She murmured as she shook, scared out of her mind.
Kurama chuckled, "guess there's no harm in telling you. Uzumaki Naruto is our leader, the strongest in the world, and he is a protector that defends the world from monsters no different from The Grimm."
"Kurama…" Matatabi growled back at him.
"Fine, we're from the far past, Ozpin affectionally calls Naruto The Fox God, and we're here exploring ruins when we awakened this massive beast in front of us. Ooh, it's still alive, hehehe." Kurama watched as King Ghidorah got up, it screeches.
The force from the screech sent a pressure wave that leveled the rest of the forest, it then began to…bite at itself. Suddenly two large arms sprouted to its side as both of its heads from the middle were torn off.
It gained a more appropriate physique, its stubby legs growing longer and more refined. The tails fused into one, while the long middle head grew thicker to match middle of its body. King Ghidorah had become a true dragon, it was more massive than before!
Blake gulped, shaking still, and then looked at where other explosions were occurring. "What's going on over there!"
"Hmm," Kurama turns to see Naruto launching several mini-Rasenshuriken at three assailants, "a war."
Naruto dodges several strikes by Luna, while the green masked one tried to kick him in the face, he grabs their leg and arm respectively before kicking Tyrian away when he tried to come up the middle. He then slung those two away as he absorbed a little bit of the green masked one's chakra.
"N-Naruto?"
"Chomei, no time, get some chakra into you now!"
"Y-yes."
Naruto roared out and charged like a bolt of light toward Luna, who smirked and did the same, both appeared in the area, their fists and kicks clashing in loud booms. Naruto got the upper hand after a few strikes and slammed his knee into Luna's gut.
She coughed up a wad of blood, he then slammed his left knee into her, she got to her knees and looked up. He pointed his hand at her, her eyes widened as ice froze around her. Freezing her solid, she watches him smirk.
He turns around just in time to dodge Tyrian's attempt at sand shuriken, while he countered a blast of wind with a Gale Palm Jutsu.
Naruto took a deep breath as he watches the one in the green mask land by Tyrian, they began to form hand seals.
"Sand Style: Large Sand Bowl!"
"Wind Style: Gale Storm!"
Naruto was blasted back by the wind, he got on all fours to hold himself down just as a massive wave of sand half the size of Kurama exploded to life around him. He growls out as he felt the winds whip at him from back to front, forming a tornado in the bowl of sand that he couldn't really move from.
Suddenly Luna appeared above the sand bowl, laughing as she then blew a jet of blue flames into it. The bowl turned to glass as Naruto watched the winds around him ignite.
Matatabi screams "Naruto!"
Kurama was gripping hands with the evolved King Ghidorah when Naruto's chakra fluctuated, only for the blonde to appear inside of him. He was heavily injured; his Tailed Beast Cloak was gone as he had blood running down his lip.
"How are you all doing here?" Naruto questioned them as they clashed against Ghidorah's head.
Kurama laughs as he got the massive dragon in a headlock, "Matatabi now!"
Matatabi roars out as she charges, growing large claws as she did, and then slicing through King Ghidorah's soul remaining head. The beast went limp, it slowly began to turn solid black, only for a deafening boom to occur as it burst into a pillar of black smoke.
Kurama and Matatabi sighed in relief, Matatabi looked at Naruto as he began to take some chakra from his Nine-Tailed friend. She smiled, going back into Naruto as Kurama turned around and swiped the ground behind him a tail.
"Kurama," the giant fox watched as Naruto leaped out, "I'll handle this…get Blake somewhere safe."
"Even after discovering me spying on him…he's concerned?" Blake was puzzled as she watches Naruto's cloak gain a little green to it near the collar.
"I'll be back quickly, I'm guessing you're not going to kill her?" Kurama inquired as he smirked.
He could feel Blake's fear returning, he didn't want to admit it, but he found pleasure in causing someone stress.
"Kurama," Naruto suddenly spoke with a hard tone in his voice, "now is not a game!"
Kurama huffed, "yeah-yeah, c'mon kitty cat."
Naruto didn't have long to wait when the trio landed in front of him, he looked at them all, taking a deep breath as he felt Chomei channeling chakra into him now. He watches as the one in green mask flinches, and then he took a deep breath.
"The ones, Luna and Tyrian, they're obviously evil."
"Yes, I can sense them."
"The one in the green mask, I don't sense evil from her."
"Yes…but…still…"
"Kurama, where'd you put Blake?"
"I channeled your chakra into a Shadow Clone by her."
"Okay."
Tyrian cackles, "letting that Nine-Tailed freak run?"
"He's my friend, you all probably wouldn't know a thing about that, considering that I can sense one of you isn't in it for something evil. I already know you two, but who are you, Green Mask?" Naruto interrogated as he dropped down into a fighting stance.
"I'm not saying anything," she responded while readying herself as well.
He glared at her, taking a deep breath, "I can sense evil…you aren't one of them."
"I…" she shook her head as she gripped her hands, "I have no choice…"
Naruto shook his head, looking right at her. "Everyone has a chance to do right, and it all begins with a choice to walk away from something they never wanted."
Tyrian shouts at Naruto, "Enough talk Fox God! you can come with us willingly, or we will chop off a few limbs to make it happen!"
The blonde in front of them took a deep breath, he then glared at all of them. "One of you is not walking away from here today."
"Shut the fuck up, you're already exhausted from wasting so much chakra, so are you two Tailed Beasts!" Luna screams at him as she got ready to pounce.
Naruto smirked, "save that I have three now, or did you forget my ability to pull at your Tailed Beast Chakra?"
"Emerald…" Luna growls as she looked at the green masked girl, "you are a stupid idiot."
"I'm…" suddenly Luna kicked Emerald across the forest and sent her into a rock.
She spat to the side, "after we're done with you, we'll just take her chakra with us."
Naruto formed a Shadow Clone and Luna tried to intercept it as it headed for Emerald. Only for her to get kicked away by the real Naruto when he appears in front of her. Tyrian emerged from sand behind Naruto, only for the blonde to grip his arm when he tried to slice down with his weapons.
His eyes widened as Naruto began to absorb his chakra, the blonde reached back and then lightning crackled around his fist. Tyrian's smile never left, even when Naruto sent his lightning charged fist through his chest.
Tyrian cackled while coughing up blood, "my Goddess made me immortal…hahaha."
Naruto's eyes widen as Tyrian held him there, only to feel Tyrian's stinger suddenly plunge into his shoulder. Poison seeped through Naruto's arm as the man pumped whatever he could into Naruto before the blonde managed to break from Tyrian's hold.
His left arm was numb, turning purple from the poison, and Kurama arrived back just in time to go back into Naruto to work on the poison. Breathing hard Naruto focuses as his clone got Emerald, making sure to bound her wrists with an Earth Style Jutsu.
"Naruto you need to retreat, whatever this poison is, its nothing like I've ever had to heal from you."
"What's it doing?"
"It is even breaking down chakra, what is this shit!"
"Just find a way to deal with Kurama, I need to at least take out one of them."
"Alright, you know how to perform one-handed hand seals?"
"Somewhat, but I have an idea."
Naruto suddenly jumped toward Tyrian, surprising him, especially when we went for a palm strike. Luna came behind him fast, he needed to do this now!
Suddenly as Tyrian went to grip Naruto's hand in a deadlock, Naruto's hand contorted into a hand seal, his hand unconsciously did the same. Tyrian realized too little late as he went into another hand seal of what Naruto's plans were.
Tyrian attempted to stab Naruto with his stinger again, only for the blonde to lean back and let the stinger stab into Luna. The woman's mask fell off, revealing a royal blue haired and eyed woman. She coughed up a wad of blood as she looked at Tyrian as he tried to quickly pull his stinger out.
Only for it to get sliced by Naruto as lightning crackled in his hand, her eyes widened as Tyrian reeled from the pain, and then Naruto spun on his foot to face her.
"Straight from my brother's handbook," Naruto thrusts his Jutsu into her chest and straight into her heart, "Chidori!"
Luna's eyes glazed over, she slumped forward on his arm as a trail of nearly purple chakra flowed into him. He took a deep breath, and then kicked Tyrian hard when he jumped up. Tyrian was careening into several trees even through a boulder from the broken mountain.
He watches as Naruto pulled Luna off his arm, letting her fall to a heap on the ground.
Tyrian collapses as he tries to get up, coughing up a wad of blood, "impossible…I should be healing my tail…unless."
Tyrian saw glowing Kanji near where his tail had been cut off, he growls. "You bastard…"
Forming a hand seal, Tyrian then feels a hand grab him and smirks as he was taken into a dark portal that opened up.
Naruto watches this, cursing as he fell to one knee, breathing hard. The poison had finally been contained, but it wasn't going away. Taking a moment to look at a Beowulf that was starting to come near him, he just cursed, only for a black ribbon to wrap around it before Blake dropped in and stabbed it in the head.
She got her weapon back into normal order, she grabbed him to help him up. "Don't think just because I'm helping you that I trust you, you've broken that trust in me, but you do fight Grimm…so talk."
"Blake…" Naruto sighs as he looked at her, "I'm not talking without Ozpin being in front of you."
"Why does Ozpin need to be in front of us?" She inquired as they small hole and sat in it.
Naruto took a deep breath, "because Ozpin is almost like me, save I'm a much more powerful force than he is…"
"They called you a God," Blake murmured as she looked at him, "is…that true?"
"Yes and no, just let me rest so we can get back to Mistral and thus back to Beacon," Naruto said as he coughed up some blood.
She looked at his left arm, "you're poisoned!"
"I know, my Tailed Beasts are taking care of it…I just…need…a nap." Naruto suddenly slumped forward.
Blake's eyes widened as he was still breathing but running a high fever. She got him on her shoulders, taking a deep breath as she looked toward the destroyed mountains. Her eyes widened when Naruto's clone dropped by her, carrying Emerald.
"I may not trust him, but a life for a life, he saved me…so I'll do what I can to save him."
