Reviews Responses:
Rothwell: Yeah, I didn't like that part too but with that kind of situation, he had no choice. No jutsu can bypass Samehada. His Rinnegan sealed. Thanks.
DruidFWY: PM'd.
pucflek: Hahaha thanks.
CelticReaper: Thanks.
dregus: Hahaha, wonder why. To me it's fitting seeing as the Sharingan which is in canon a degenerated form of Rinnegan have godly techniques.
8Swords: Hahaha, wait for the next chapter.
Knight of elves: Updated.
shadowmarialove: Hahaha, in this case, the big entrance can increase his integrity among the shinobi. That's why he planned that.
Battle neurosis: Haha, thanks.
Zera of the Half Moon: Then I've succeed my jobs.
hizashi11: Hahaha, thanks. I can't draw anything though. I prefer to write novels.
SSJ3 Kyuubi Gohan: Just as planned then.
a: Thanks.
RamenKnight: You're welcome.
NightmareFire: I assume you mean the Konoha twelve? Hinata is stronger than her canon. At least before timeskip. Shino is about the same, so is Kiba. Shikamaru, Choji and Ino are the same. Neji is a little weaker than the canon as he did not make his own style. Tenten is the same. Lee is a little stronger because he have 'Eternal Rival' in the story.
So, I think most of them are weaker than their canon counterparts. In fact, Sasuke and Sakura are also weaker than the canon but Sasuke in canon is overpowered and Sakura is mostly a medic...
He Who Will Establish Peace and Order: Samsara
Chapter 34 The Price A God Must Pay
Uzumaki Naruto blankly stared at the sight around him. Tayuya stood beside him with eyes full of awe.
Shinobi from various villages, various countries took off their villages' forehead-protectors and replaced it with the Shinobi Army's. Naruto saw the man standing in front of him giving his Sunagakure's forehead protector to the jōnin standing behind a desk and received a forehead-protector with the word 'Shinobi' in return.
He did not. He simply took off his forehead-protector and handed it to the jōnin then he left without taking the other protector. Tayuya blinked seeing him did that and followed him while taking her new forehead-protector.
"...you are still wearing that ridiculous eyeglasses?" Nagato asked as he walked towards him.
Naruto saw the 'Shinobi' forehead-protector in Nagato's hand and sighed, "...this is useless."
"What do you mean?" Nagato asked.
"...this war is useless," Naruto declared. A few people turned towards him hearing his declaration.
"That's why I ask, what do you mean?" Nagato asked again.
Naruto said nothing and walked away, grabbing Tayuya hand as he did so.
Naruto saw the jinchūriki gathering together. His mother noticed him and called him.
"Sochi! Come here!" she waved to him.
Naruto walked and bowed to the jinchūriki.
"...we meet again," Naruto stated.
"Hello there," Tayuya waved. Then she glared at Yugito who smirked at her.
"You seem depressed, Naruto-san," Fū said in a worried tone.
Naruto let out a hollow chuckle, "...perhaps."
Kushina gazed at him with a worried eyes, "son, are you alright?" she moved to touch Naruto but Naruto held up his hand.
"...I am fine. Just... fine," Naruto told her.
He bowed and left them, Tayuya following behind him.
"Ruto, why have you been acting so strange today?" Tayuya asked as she and Naruto stood on a cliff.
Naruto sighed, "...Yuya, look there," Naruto pointed towards the gathering of shinobi below them.
Tayuya followed his finger and saw the people. "That's the shinobi army, right? What of it?"
"Is that what you see?" Naruto asked.
She blinked. "What do you mean?"
"...I see a gathering of fools, I can see overconfidence in them. I can see how they believe that they would win this war easily. 'Our enemies are just three men. If I can kill them, I will get some recognition'. That is what they believe."
Tayuya blinked, "really? I think most people won't think that way."
Naruto laughed. Tayuya did not like how he sounded. It is not a mocking laugh but she could see that Naruto was truly amused by her words.
"You have such faith in them. In this gathering of fools, you are the only Light I have. Never change, Yuya," Naruto told her.
Tayuya's confusion grew. What is with Naruto's sudden change in attitude?
"...it has to do with your Eyes, right?" she asked.
Naruto told her before they left to the gathering place for Shinobi Army.
"...my Eyes have transformed fully," Naruto told her, Nagato and Konan.
"Really?" Tayuya asked in astonishment. "Can we see it?"
Naruto nodded and showed the three his Eyes of God.
"It's like a Rinnegan with nine Sharingan tomoe..." Konan commented.
"What does those Eyes do?" Nagato asked.
Naruto tried to recall the memory Rikudō gave him.
"First, it removes the penalty of Tendō." Nagato's eyes widened. That is very useful. The limitation Tendō had is one of it's few weakness. With it removed, it's overall power grow considerably.
"Second, it amplifies the Paths power," not really but he had to explain the jump in power Ningendō, Gakidō and Jigokudō had compared to the time he fought Nagato. He could not say, 'I have two Rinnegan, one from myself, the other from our Ancestor. It increases my Paths power.'
"Third it gives me Nine Contracts."
"Contracts?" Tayuya asked curiously.
"Nine techniques I can use but with limits. Three I can use only once a day. Three I can use once per a month. Three I can use only once per year."
Nagato seemed interested. "A once in a year technique? Three of them? I wonder how powerful they are?"
Naruto thought about answering, 'beyond your imagination. They are the ones who defeated Ame-no-Hitotsu-no-Kami after all.' But decided not to. Explaining it will be troublesome.
Then Naruto blinked. He looked at the three closely as if he is inspecting them.
Then he sighed, "...I see. This does explain His attitude towards humans..." Naruto muttered.
Tayuya blinked, confused by his words.
Naruto smiled hearing her guess. "...the power of this Eyes is beyond imagination. However... the price it possess is of equal measure." He took off his eyeglasses. "...I could limit what I see with these but without it..." he trailed off.
Tayuya stared at the Eyes. Naruto froze for a moment but then relaxed.
"What is the price?" she asked.
"...When I see their eyes, I am able to see the hearts within humans," Naruto told her as he walked closer towards her.
Tayuya raised an eyebrow, "so you can read minds?"
Naruto laughed, "no, nothing like that. I am simply able to see the emotions within them. Greed, Pride, Hate, Anger, Lust, Love, Envy, Happiness, Pity, all of them and more."
Tayuya wondered what would it feels like. Seeing the hearts of human beings. Seeing them for what they are.
Then she realized that Naruto's face and her's was mere inches between each other.
"Ruto?" she asked, confused. She saw Naruto's face.
It is filled with love but she could sense something dangerous inside him.
"This is why He called her, His Salvation..." Naruto said as he hugged her. "...to see a lone Light, shining through this Hellish world. To have a Pure being within your grasp..." Naruto muttered in daze.
"Ruto?" she asked again. Scared by his attitude.
Naruto blinked. "...are you scared of me, Yuya?" he asked.
Tayuya nodded, "you seem different..." she said. Then she remembered what Naruto said and looked away from his Eyes.
Naruto seemed to snap out of it and put his eyeglasses back on.
"...I am sorry..." Naruto muttered.
"It's... alright," Tayuya said as she saw Naruto looking away from her.
They kept silent for a moment. Then Naruto began to speak.
"It is difficult." Tayuya turned towards him in surprise. "When we were at that place, among the gathering of people, I can see their hearts. Their darkness."
"...I can see how sinful, how... human they were and it shook me. I began to wonder. Why should I fight for them? For these wicked beings?" Naruto sighed as he looked towards the shinobi army below them.
"Then I saw Nagato. His heart is full of Suffering and yet he still strive for Peace. I was glad to see it but then I saw him carrying the protector."
Tayuya blinked, "what's wrong with it?"
"...it is a symbol that we have to fight with them. With those beings as our ally. I began to consider this war, this alliance as... worthless. Useless. Meaningless..." Naruto closed his eyes and hang his head. "...why should I risk my life for their sake? Why should you risk your life?"
Tayuya grabbed his hand, showing that she is with him.
Naruto smiled but the smile disappeared as he continued, "...then I saw the jinchūriki. I saw... mother."
Tayuya remembered him preventing Kushina from touching him. That was unlike Naruto.
"...the moment I met mother's eyes, I see Fear in her. It is small but it is there. I can see how she, deep inside her, feared any interactions with humans. As I saw the others, I see the same within all of them. I asked myself again. Should I fight for people who caused this fear?"
Tayuya could not imagine how that must have felt. Learning that your own mother feared you even after living with you for so long.
"...I ran away then. Dragging you with me. Throughout all of this, I always avoided your eyes. I do not want to see what is inside you. I am afraid that it would cause me to hate you, to despise you."
But he did not. Tayuya realized. Instead he became... more obsessed with her.
"...however, when you confronted me about my Eyes, I decided to gather my courage and met your eyes," Naruto smiled happily. "I am happy. I see your worry for me, your love for me. Seeing your purity made me lose my control..."
Tayuya kept quiet. Naruto now have completely lost his faith in humanity.
He did not believe them to be worth fighting for.
That is unlike Naruto she knew, Naruto she loved.
"...Naruto, look at me."
Naruto shook his head. Seeing him refusing, she grabbed his face and forced him to look at her eyes.
She thought about her hatred towards Kabuto for betraying their village, her fear and desire for vengeance towards Nagato for killing her.
Naruto began to shake, "...stop, Yuya..." he muttered.
She knew that he was hurting but she knew that he needed this. Finally, she thought of her dislike and disgust towards him when they first met. She thought about how she hated him.
"Stop!" Naruto shouted. Seeing her hatred towards him, he could feel his heart breaking. Tears began to ran down from his Eyes.
Tayuya smiled, "...you see? Even I have those emotions. Those dark emotions you hate. I hated you before but now I love you. You can't judge them simply by you see. Those eyes of you are not omnipotent. The world they showed you is not complete. There are more beautiful things out there..." she told him as she hugged him, resting his head on her chest.
Naruto sobbed as he hugged her back, muttering her name all the while.
When Nagato saw Naruto and Tayuya walking around, he approached them. He noted that Naruto discarded his eyeglasses. Many people looked at his eyes in confusion and curiosity. However, none of them approached him as they knew that there are many lesser known dōjutsu in the land and they dismissed Naruto's Eyes as one of them.
"Naruto-san, what did you mean by this war is useless?" he asked.
Naruto met his eye and flinched. Nagato was confused.
His confusion grew when Tayuya hugged Naruto and muttered words of encouragement to his ears.
Naruto looked towards him and bowed, "...no, it was my mistake, I apologize."
Nagato blinked in confusion as Naruto and Tayuya began to walk away.
"...what happened to him?"
"Come on, Ruto, you have to do this!" Tayuya said to him as she tried to drag him towards his mother.
"Yuya, I am already having problem walking through the army. I do not think I can do this..." Naruto said to her.
"Trust your mother, speak with her and see her heart clearly!" Tayuya firmly told him as she slowly drag him towards the jinchūriki.
"Naruto," Gaara nodded towards him. Naruto saw his eyes. 'Fear, Hatred... Trust?'
"Naruto-san, are you alright, now?" Fū asked him. 'Worry? The Fear is gone...'
Naruto gave a small nod. Trying to avoid his mother's eyes.
"Sochi, are you really alright?" Kushina asked, grabbing him.
Startled, Naruto saw her eyes. '...Love.' There is no fear anymore. He could only see worry and love in her.
Naruto nodded, "...I am fine, mother..." he muttered as he hugged her.
Kushina blinked. While she had hugged him many times before, this is the first time he hugged her in public.
The other jinchūriki looked towards Naruto in surprise. All of them could not believe he did that.
Tayuya smiled, glad that Naruto managed to conquer his fear.
When the members of Shinobi Alliance stood listening Itachi's speech, Naruto talked with the Sage.
'Rikudō, did You go through the same thing I did?' he asked.
Rikudō nodded, 'We did. We are surprised you defeated your inner demons easily. It is all thanks to your Salvation.'
Naruto thought about what Tayuya did for him. Being his best friend, spending time with him, loving him, dying for him, saving him...
Naruto smiled, '...I suppose, with everything she did for me, she really is my Salvation.'
Naruto stopped talking with the Sage and started to focus his attention to Itachi. Just in time to hear the last part of Itachi's speech.
"Which is why I ask you all to stand with me. We will not allow this mad man to take our world from us, our loved ones! With the combined might of our land, we will crush his twisted ambition!"
The Shinobi army cheered.
"Rise! We march, to War!" Itachi shouted.
"To War!" the army chorused.
Then the War, began.
Naruto and Nagato scanned the area around them.
The Shinobi Alliance is divided into two main groups.
The Battle Regiment and Support Division.
The Supports are divided into four. Surprise Attackers, Medical, Intelligence and Sensor.
The Battle Regiment are divided into five. Mid-range battle division, Short-range battle division, Short-to-Mid-range battle division, Long-range battle division and Special division.
Usually within each division, a group of at least four shinobi were formed.
Naruto and Nagato was supposed to be with Tayuya and Konan but they told them to stay within the main group while they scout ahead.
"...I do not see anything," Nagato muttered, using Rinnegan's ability to see chakra to scan the surroundings.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, "...I do not like this. Something is wrong..." he could feel something tainting the grounds around them.
Kabuto smirked, seeing the army moving cautiously towards the Akatsuki hideout.
"So, it appears that Nagato told them of this place, after all," Tobi said as he began to walk out of the hideout.
"Going out already?" Kabuto asked.
"I'll capture the jinchūriki. Summon our army," Tobi disappeared.
Kabuto laughed, "our army? No, it is my army."
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei!"
Naruto and Nagato instantly moved to a battle stance.
Suddenly chakra appeared around them.
"Where did they come from?" Naruto wondered.
"The underground!" Nagato shouted as the grounds around them exploded.
Three figures stood in front of them. Three figures that Naruto and Nagato knew well. They could feel the tainted chakra in the figures.
"...a reincarnation technique," Naruto muttered. An insult to the Samsara. It appears that the technique their enemies used reincarnates humans into a false bodies.
His Eyes met theirs and he narrowed them. He could hardly see their hearts' emotions. It is as if their voices are muffled.
"This will be difficult," Nagato stated as he threw away his eye-patch. Holding back here would mean death.
"Tobirama, it seems that we are resurrected by your technique," the figure in red armor observed calmly.
"Yeah, to fight those two, right? But there are three of us here," the figure in blue armor nodded.
The third figure said nothing. Watching Naruto with conflicted eyes.
"...Nagato, can you handle the other two?" Naruto did not even indicate which one he meant. He knew that Nagato realized which one he wanted to fight.
"Sure, I might as well warm myself up before fighting with that masked bastard," Nagato walked towards the two.
Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.
Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage, known as the master of Wood and Water respectively.
"Brother, look, he has a dōjutsu," Tobirama commented as he looked at Nagato's eyes curiously.
"One of them is Sharingan, the other is unknown. I think the Sharingan is a transplant," Hashirama noted.
Nagato narrowed his eyes, "...this will be a difficult battle."
"...I do not suppose we need an introduction?" Naruto asked his opponent.
"...no, we don't. How's your mother?" he asked.
"She is fine. I cannot say the same to you," Naruto sighed. "...when I was a child, I wanted to fight you, to surpass you. I did not expect to receive my wish like this..."
"Naruto..."
"There is no need for words, let us fight, father. No need to hold back!" Naruto declared, his chakra rising.
Namikaze Minato sighed, "alright." Then he smiled, "you know. You're as handful as Kushina."
"...I will take that as a compliment," Naruto smirked and enhanced his body with wind. He dashed.
Naruto moved towards Minato with great speed, he formed a katana in his arm and swung.
Minato held a three-pronged kunai upside down and blocked Naruto's sword. "Wind chakra? How dangerous. If I was late for a second, I'll be dead again."
"That is the famous Hiraishin Kunai..." Naruto muttered, staring at the weapon in wonder.
Hiraishin, no shinobi in Konoha are unfamiliar with that name. Hailed as the greatest jutsu the Yondaime Hokage had ever made, a space-time manipulation technique.
By placing a seal which will mark his target, his father could displace himself from wherever he was to the target. His custom made kunai all had the technique's seal inscribed on it.
Minato grinned seeing his son's amazed look, "yeah, only one of them though. This is the only one I have with me the moment I died."
"...I see," Naruto nodded. "That means your Hiraishin's target is limited to that kunai, yes?"
Minato shook his head, "nope, unfortunately, I can place the seal easily anywhere. Like this!" Minato disappeared and pushed his palm on Naruto's back.
Naruto flipped in the air and threw a sword towards Minato.
Minato disappeared in a flash of yellow light.
Naruto felt the chakra behind him and formed an earth shield.
Right in time as a Rasengan crashed on to the shield.
"...so, that is the Yellow Flash," Naruto muttered as he took off his jacket. He burned them without a second thought.
"I suppose this means I cannot allow you to touch me," Naruto stated as he saw Minato standing with his kunai raised.
"Do you think it'll be that easy?" Minato threw his kunai and disappeared.
Naruto formed another sword and slashed the space beside the kunai without hesitation.
Minato pushed the sword away with the kunai, missing his head by a small margin.
"That's dangerous. You really plan to kill me, don't you?"
"Not kill. I am merely sending you back to the Cycle," Naruto answered as a sword formed in his other hand and he swung it to cut Minato's head.
"Cycle?" Minato asked, avoiding the sword. "And what's with the swords? Are you using a seal to summon them or something?"
Naruto swung faster, enhancing his movement with wind chakra. "The Cycle of Samsara, the Cycle of Rebirth. As for my swords, they are my Eyes abilities."
"Eyes?" Minato stared at Naruto's face questioningly. "Now that you mention it, what's with the eyes?" he asked. He did not recall possessing a dōjutsu and as far as he knew, neither did Kushina.
"...these are my Eyes. No one else in this world have them," Naruto answered Minato's inquiry.
Minato raised an eyebrow, "what are it's powers?" he asked curiously.
A chain appeared from Naruto's hand and stabbed through Minato's chest. "This is one of them," Naruto told him.
Minato sighed, "too bad, Naruto. This technique can't be broken that easily," Minato told him as he threw the kunai.
Naruto's Eyes widened and he jumped away.
When Minato appeared, he grabbed the kunai and landed on the ground.
Naruto saw the hole on his chest closing.
"...well, this is troublesome."
Nagato avoided Tobirama's water drill and formed a canon on his shoulder.
The canon fired and Tobirama's water was evaporated immediately. The blast continued towards Tobirama.
"One down," Nagato smirked. The Sharingan he received was quite helpful. With the advanced perception it had and the ability to break down the jutsu he had seen, he could replicate them easily with Rinnegan's mastery over elements.
That is how he had been keeping them at bay. Water against water, wood against wood.
Just before the blast reached Tobirama, a wall made of earth rose.
The blast exploded, destroying it but Nagato knew that Tobirama was unharmed.
"...damn it."
There were two of them and one of him. He wished he still possessed the Six Paths bodies.
At least then, he would not be outnumbered.
Uchiha Itachi burned another group of reincarnated shinobi. However, they simply stood back up as if nothing happened.
"...this is a problem..." he muttered as he avoided a water jutsu sent towards him.
"We have to neutralize the source," Itachi stated. "Find him!"
The shinobi of Intelligence division began their work.
Naruto summoned Ningendō's ability as he grabbed Minato's head.
He tried to grab the soul but failed. '...it is as if he is being chained down by something...'
Naruto jumped away as Minato swung his kunai.
'...if this goes on, I will tire before I reach Tobi...' Naruto thought.
"You know, Naruto. I think playtime is over, huh?" Minato asked.
Naruto blinked then his Eyes widened as he realized what Minato did.
On the grasses, trees, rocks, the Hiraishin seal were inscribed everywhere,
Minato disappeared in a flash of yellow.
Naruto sensed his chakra appearing on the left and swung his arm. Minato disappeared.
And reappeared to his right, shoving a Rasengan to his body.
Naruto summoned his chains to block the Rasengan. Then he sent more to capture Minato.
Minato kept on disappearing and reappearing, avoiding his chains.
Naruto narrowed his Eyes. He summoned more and more chains that formed a massive pillar behind him.
"Zaou-Gongen!" he shouted. The pillar exploded, revealing Gedō's Giant.
Minato watched the massive being in awe, "...amazing..."
"Vajra!" the Thunderbolt came from the sky and struck the battlefield.
Itachi saw a massive being from the forest not far from him.
"This is... Naruto," Itachi realized. "What could cause him to summon something like that?"
'Our scouts reports that the one he is battling is... Namikaze Minato!' Yamanaka Inoichi reported to him with voice full of disbelief.
Itachi narrowed his eyes. Reports of Kage rising from the dead have spread to the army. Many are fighting the past Kage right now but to hear the Yondaime Hokage being revived...
"Investigate the area around Naruto. I suspect our target is hiding there," Itachi commanded.
Nagato saw Naruto summoning a Giant and smirked.
"Seems like we should get this done with," Nagato said to the two.
Tobirama grinned, "will you use one of your eyes' technique? This is exciting!"
Hashirama sighed, "Brother, do not let your guard down. He was holding back throughout this fight."
Nagato smirked, "true. But I didn't do that because I want to. It's because using my strongest technique left me vulnerable for several seconds. Besides, I'd rather not waste anymore chakra than I have to," Nagato told the two Hokage as he formed a black sphere.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
When the explosion faded, Naruto saw his father's body reforming.
He gritted his teeth.
"Even after being destroyed completely, you still survive?" Naruto asked in an annoyed tone.
Minato laughed, "don't blame me. Blame my summoner."
Naruto sighed. "...this is annoying..."
Nagato stared at the massive sphere calmly.
He swung his arm and the sphere slammed down to the earth, exploding.
"...is it over?" Nagato wondered.
When he saw Tobirama and Hashirama's bodies reforming he sighed.
"...damn it, how many times are we going to do this?"
Itachi dashed into a cave where he suspected the source of Edo Tensei was hiding.
"Hm? The Hokage?" Kabuto asked when he saw Itachi standing in front of him.
"Yakushi Kabuto, wasn't it? So you are the source of this trouble."
Kabuto laughed, "I am honored that the Hokage himself came to kill me."
"Kill you? You are mistaken. I am here to neutralize you," Itachi stated as he walked towards Kabuto calmly.
"And how will you do that?" Kabuto asked mockingly.
"...this," slowly Itachi's eyes transformed. First it formed a three pointed Shuriken then it continues to transform until it formed a four pointed shuriken with red center.
"...Kotoamatsukami."
Naruto panted as he countered Minato's Rasengan with his own.
"How long... are you going to stay in this world?!" Naruto asked as he channeled fire chakra into his Rasengan, exploding it.
He skidded back and collapsed to the ground. He still possess most of his chakra but his body could not handle the continuous high-speed battle.
Naruto cursed as he saw Minato's body reforming.
Minato saw Naruto on the ground and sighed, "Naruto, before I end this, I want you to know that I am proud of you," Minato said as his body moved against his will and prepared to throw his kunai.
Naruto remembered nearly dying by Kisame's hand.
"...do not be ridiculous... First losing against that man. Now losing against you?!" Naruto stood back up. "I will not accept this!"
"O Storm! The Wind of Chaos!" Naruto began the incantation.
"Rage On the Battlefield of Gods!" his left edge tomoe began to glow red.
"Cut! Tear! Rip Them Apart!" there is no way he is going to lose!
"I summon Thee!"
"Tatehayasusanoo-no-Mikoto!"
A massive Maelstrom formed on the sky and the Raging Warrior God sent His Storm towards the battlefield.
A tornado incomparable to any others came accompanying the thunders.
By the end of the God's Rage, the area Naruto battled in was left torn and barren.
"...damn," Nagato commented as even Hashirama and Tobirama was swallowed by the Storm. He was sure if he did not use his Heaven Path to manipulate the gravity around him, he would be destroyed by the attack too.
Seeing Minato not reforming, Naruto fell to the ground, exhausted.
Nagato moved towards him and took his body to his arms.
"...I guess we should return and get some medical attention..." Nagato muttered as they began to walk towards the headquarters.
Naruto's body was laid on a bed while Tsunade and Tayuya healed him.
Soon, Tsunade finished healing him and moved to heal Nagato. Tayuya stayed beside Naruto, holding his hand.
Suddenly a shinobi burst into the medical room.
"Trouble! The jinchūriki are taken by the enemy!"
Tayuya blinked, processing the statement. Then when she realized what the man said, she turned towards Naruto in panic. 'If Ruto hears that...' she froze.
Uzumaki Naruto stared at the shinobi who delivered the report with a livid expression.
End chapter.
Next part might come out in two days. Tomorrow I have a business I must attend.
