Reviews Responses:
SSJ3 Kyuubi Gohan: Itachi made Kabuto dispel it. White Zetsu Army appear here.
Jostanos: Hahaha, just in case, you know. Seeing as sometimes I made mistakes.
Nanashi113: Thanks.
hizashi11: Hahaha, thanks for the offer. I'll stick with novel for now, though.
Ahmar: Hmm... read on.
8Swords: Yeah from the game. ...Tobirama only appeared few times. I only know few jutsu for him.
Battle neurosis: Explained in PM but for other readers, I will explain here.
1. Edo Tensei is a secret jutsu. Naruto know nothing about it.
2. ...well, with shinobi at Minato's level fighting him, it's either he completely destroy Minato or he will be dead in one strike.
3. ...yeah, a fool is right. Not like he has any other choice though. Escaping from Minato is impossible, he doesn't know how to break the jutsu, the only thing he can do is to fight until the reinforcements arrive.
4. My theory is that, Madara know the jutsu well (Maybe having seen Tobirama use it or read it from the scroll) and he was able to do that because Kabuto was in coma in the canon. By the way, here Madara is revived using Samsara of Heavenly Life.
Which brings me to the next point. ...how is it did Tobirama get caught by his own jutsu?
pucflek: Hahaha, thanks. I think I have recovered for now. But... well, please tell me what you think.
dregus: Bad is right. Watch and see how Naruto rages.
DruidFWY: Hahaha, it's not single. With his fake Madara act found out, Tobi see no reason to wait and revive Madara immediately. Nagato became less god-complex because he lost one of his eye, causing him to realize that he could still be defeated.
Yeah, Naruto still plan to keep his Eyes a secret until he reveals it in final battle, increasing the army's fear of him. Hahaha, seeing the dark hearts of humanity for hundred years would do that.
Omega Ultimatum: Thanks.
shadowmarialove: Thanks.
RamenKnight: ...if only you know how ironic your comment is... Well, read Tobi's fate.
The Commander: Yes sir! Mission accomplished, sir! Thank you sir!
CelticReaper: It's about to get real alright. Even more with this chapter.
Nightmarefire: Thanks.
He Who Will Establish Peace and Order: Samsara
Chapter 35 The One Eyed God
Without a single word, Naruto tried to move out of the bed. Seeing that, Tayuya and Tsunade stopped him.
"...move, Yuya, Tsunade-sama."
"Ruto, don't do anything rash, you're still hurt!" Tayuya told him as she tried to push him back to bed.
"And then, what? Leaving mother to fools who could not even protect her?" Naruto asked, the tone of his voice grew colder with each words.
"Calm down, Naruto," Tsunade said to him as she took out a syringe full of drugs. "Leave this to us and rest."
When Tsunade moved to inject the drugs to Naruto, he stopped struggling.
"...do you two insist on getting in my way?" Naruto asked to the two medics.
"If you fight while injured like this, you'll die. Even your chakra hasn't recovered yet," Tayuya told him.
"...Shinra," hearing the first word, Tayuya's eyes widened.
"Tsunade-sama, run!" she and Tsunade jumped away from Naruto. 'Did he do that just as a threat?' she thought, '...he wouldn't really attack us, would he?'
"Tensei!" the beds and tables around Naruto were blown back several feet away. Some of them crashed onto another beds, and caused a small chaos in the medical tent. Several patients' rest were interrupted and when they saw the condition, they panicked, thinking that the enemies have come.
Tsunade and Tayuya immediately tried to control the situation. When she moved towards a patient, Tayuya realized Naruto's plan and looked towards him.
"...he's gone..." where Naruto stood a few seconds ago, nothing exist.
Naruto ran out of the medical tent and dashed towards the battlefield.
He saw a massive statue standing at the middle of the plains.
"... Gedō Mazō..." Naruto muttered as he saw it.
Then he sensed It.
The Presence inside the Statue.
"...it is not a statue..." Naruto realized. "It is the God's Body..." Naruto's Eyes widened.
If that is truly the God's body then if the jinchūriki were captured... "I have to hurry!" Naruto ran, enhancing his legs with wind chakra.
Itachi who have gathered the army in preparation to attack Gedō Mazō froze hearing the news.
"Naruto went to the statue alone?" he asked Tsunade.
Tsunade sighed, "yeah, I can only hope he's alright." Then she smiled, "But I've seen that Tobi fight once. I think Naruto should be fine..."
Itachi shook his head, "Tobi is not alone. The guards reported seeing him with another person."
"Another?" Tayuya asked in confusion.
"...Uchiha Madara..."
Tobi watched as the Gedō Mazō absorbed the bijū from their vessels. His Rinnegan and Sharingan eyes seemed to glow in delight as the Moon Eye plan was nearing it's final phase.
"With this, our plan is a step closer to completion," he commented to a shinobi beside him. A long haired shinobi wearing red armor.
"...do not let your guard down. Something is approaching us. Alone."
Tobi chuckled, "alone? Then that must be..."
Naruto burst out of the forest and jumped towards Tobi. Without wasting any time, he stabbed Tobi with a sword he made.
"Namikaze Naruto, you again?" Tobi asked.
"Mother. Where is she?" Naruto ignored Tobi's question and glared at the masked man.
"Your Eyes changed again it seems," Tobi commented.
Naruto's chakra flared. "...where is my mother?" he asked, his voice dropping into a whisper.
"Mother?" only now did Naruto realize the presence of a third person in this place. He turned towards the voice.
"...Uchiha Madara..." the one said to be the strongest Uchiha, the greatest traitor of Konohagakure, another Chosen of Samsara. 'Did Tobi revive him with Samsara?'
"He is looking for Kyūbi's vessel," Tobi told the Uchiha.
Madara nodded, "an Uzumaki... and those eyes... Interesting." Naruto saw Madara's eyes began to transform. He became tense, preparing to fight a Sharingan. Then the eyes turned into a ripple-patterned eyes.
"...Rinnegan..." Naruto muttered. Impossible. Rikudō told him that he rejected Madara, preventing Madara to acquire Rinnegan. His memory also matched that. Rikudō's last memory of Madara were the battle at the Valley of the End.
Then how? How is it that this man acquired those eyes?
No, that did not matter. What matters to him now is to save his mother.
"You are looking for your mother, boy?" Madara asked. "Then you are too late. She and the other vessels are dead."
Dead? His mother? Dead? Because of this? Dead? This man killed her? Dead? DeaddeadDeaddeADDEaDDEADDEAD DEAD!
Naruto stared at the two blankly.
It is because of this war. Because of this nonsense. Because of these two fools. Because of that God.
"...Crush Hope. Summon Despair..." Naruto muttered.
"...Heavenly Star, August Star of Evil..." The middle-rim tomoe located at the lower part of the Eye began to glow.
"Madara, that's..." Tobi looked at Naruto's Eyes in surprise and fascination.
"...look at the sky," Madara crossed his arms and stared.
Tobi turned his head upwards and his eyes widened in surprise.
In the sky was a red glowing light. The Star of Evil.
"...I Command Thee... " and the world around them distorted.
Itachi and the army moved towards the Gedō Mazō.
However, when they entered the forest, suddenly the ground and the trees began to distort.
White beings began to appear from them.
Nagato recognized them instantly.
"It's Zetsu. Another Akatsuki member. But he was supposed to be black and white..." he informed Itachi.
"Hello again, Leader-sama," another Zetsu, black and white this time appeared. "I'm sorry but we can't let you to interrupt Tobi and Madara-sama's plans."
"Hokage-sama, leave this battle to us," Asuma declared as he and the shinobi began to attack.
Itachi nodded, "Nagato, Jiraiya, let us move!" Itachi, Nagato, Jiraiya, the other Kage and their bodyguards dashed towards the statue. Seeing them moving towards Naruto, Tayuya followed.
The battle between Zetsu army and Shinobi Alliance began.
Madara and Tobi watched as everything around them became black. From within the darkness, countless lights began to glow.
When the light was bright enough, the two could see the world around them.
Horrors unable to be described by human minds surrounded them. Long tentacle-like limbs, multiple eyes and mouth, beings with no form, the unspeakable creatures. Aether Anemone, Crawling Chaos, Dark Devourer, Nameless Mist, Ultimate Abomination.
Monstrous beings. Cosmic Horrors.
Outer Gods.
The Beings that caused Rikudō to avoid using the Star of Evil. The non-existences.
"...kill," with a single word uttered by Naruto, the Horrors of the Universe began to move, full of delight.
Tobi and Madara began to fight against the endless horde.
The Divine Push by Tobi merely tickled the creatures.
The Black Flame of Heaven summoned by Madara simply caused the Crawling Chaos to laugh. An inhuman sounds which could easily turn the listeners insane.
Undaunted, Madara summoned two massive meteorites and sent them towards the Legion.
It exploded and yet, it did not harm the Monsters. Instead it seemed to amuse them.
Naruto gazed at the Chaos with disinterest. He saw Tobi and Madara fighting for their lives. He could see Madara managing to survive. Tobi however...
Tobi was grabbed by a tentacle and his mask was crushed, revealing a scarred right-half of the face and a normal face for the left-half. Tobi tried to escape using his space-time manipulation and yet, it was useless.
Of course it is. The Lord of Time and Space, the Lurker at the Threshold, the All-in-One, One-in-All was watching them. It is impossible for the time and space to bend to other's will while the Beyond One watches.
When another creature, the Mother of Pus, the Vile, Repugnant Creature born of the Unholy Union of The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young and a man, moved to eat Tobi, Naruto could feel a surge of satisfaction rising inside him.
Then a creature approached him. A 'woman' with infinite beauty, a being that seemed to be out of place with the horrors and yet, 'she' seemed to be right at home.
When she neared him, Naruto glared.
"...I do not recall allowing you to approach, the Divinity, D'endrrah."
The 'woman' laughed and the form disappeared, revealing a dark abyss with numerous ugly tentacles coming out from it.
When he saw the True Form of the creature, Naruto winced. He could feel his Sanity, his grip to reality falling.
"...it seems that I have to end this soon..." Naruto muttered as he realized that another Presence, another Horror approached them.
"...before Yog-Sothoth arrives..." before the Beyond One reached him.
"Destroy All Who Oppose Me..." he continued the incantation.
"Break Reality! Destroy World!" the Star of Evil in the sky began to glow brighter.
"Amatsu-Mikaboshi!" the Heavenly Star, exploded.
Naruto watched as Madara landed on the ground, staring at him with an expression of a mix between annoyance and approval.
He turned towards the other one. The one with broken mask and broken body. It seemed that he was truly eaten by the Mother of Pus.
Tobi's stare were empty. There is no more sanity inside him. No more life.
Naruto closed his eyes. "Ten Sei..." and the broken man exploded.
The World they experienced was real. The Cosmic Horrors were real. The Existences of Beings far beyond mankind was True.
The Star of Evil, a Being who is an Outer God and yet, a God. It's ability acts as a Gate between this world and the Other World, the World of Cosmic Beings.
Naruto walked towards Gedō Mazō, ignoring Madara.
When he saw his mother and the other vessels' bodies, he walked to them.
Then the leaders of shinobi army entered the clearings.
"...you are late. What is it?" Naruto asked as he used his chains to carry the vessels. He noticed that Madara was no longer there, perhaps retreating to the Gedō Mazō.
Itachi blinked, "Naruto-kun, where's Tobi? Could it be that..."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "...Tobi is dead. I killed him."
Then he turned towards the jinchūriki.
"Naruto-san, are you going to use that?" Nagato asked, thinking that Naruto planned to use Samsara of Heavenly Life technique. "I can do it in your place if you want."
"No need," Naruto refused as he walked towards his mother.
Showing some of his power to the shinobi army would be useful.
With each 'miracles' he preformed, their awe will grow. As their awe grow, so will their fear. When he started his plan and form a new Akatsuki, their fear would be useful.
With that in mind, Naruto began to chant.
"Thy Who Possess No Form!"
"Thy Who Is Heaven!" a tomoe, this time the left middle-rim glowed.
"Thy Who Is Everything!"
"I Ask Thee! Lend Me Thy Blessings!"
"Heal the Wounded! Save their Soul! Revive the Dead!"
"Ame-no-Tokotachi!"
And the dead vessels woke up.
"...that boy..." Madara muttered.
The technique that boy possessed was not normal. It was out of this world.
"...interesting..." a part of Madara wished he could return to the battlefield and fight the boy again.
It has been quite a long time since Hashirama's death, this is the first time a shinobi impressed him so.
"However, the Moon Eye Plan comes first," he began his preparations to wake Jūbi.
Kushina opened her eyes. She remembered being captured and then, darkness.
She looked around, thinking that this was afterlife. Around her were the other jinchūriki, waking up while looking confused. Then she saw Naruto.
"...welcome back, mother."
She hugged her son. Naruto blinked and returned the hug.
The Kage and their bodyguards were in shock. Few know techniques that could resurrect the dead. Even fewer know techniques that could do it to a large number of people at once.
And yet, this boy used one easily and he did not even look tired.
After they released the hug, Naruto bowed and began to walk to the Gedō Mazō.
"Boy, where are you going?" A asked.
"...Madara is still alive. The bijū are all captured. Do you even need to ask?"
Itachi raised an eyebrow, "then you need to wait for the army, Naruto-kun."
Naruto tilted his head, "why? I see no reason to do that."
Ōnoki growled, "don't get cocky boy! You haven't seen Madara's true strength!"
Naruto sighed, "I believe I have seen what he can do." He had to admit, surviving Amatsu-Mikaboshi was impressive.
However, the Three Highest Ones aside, he still possess Amaterasu-Omikami, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and Umashiashikabihikoji. That should be enough.
Besides, part of him wished to fight Uchiha Madara without any outside help.
A battle against another of that man's soul.
"...I want to fight him..." Naruto muttered. He began to ran towards the Statue without saying another word.
"Son, stop! You shouldn't be reckless!" Kushina shouted.
Naruto turned towards her and smiled, "...I know what I am doing, do not worry, mother."
"Ruto!" Tayuya called him. She was about to open her mouth when Naruto shook his head.
"No, stay here with mother. Do not follow me."
Then he was gone.
Itachi sighed, "...when the army arrives, we will march to the Gedō Mazō."
"Uchiha Madara," Naruto greeted as he saw the man a distance away from Gedō Mazō.
"Namikaze Naruto, wasn't it?" Madara asked, a smile full of anticipation on his face, "I assume that our wish is the same?"
Chains appeared behind Naruto and spun. It explodes as Zaou-Gongen descended to the world. "...what do you think?"
Madara smirked, "at first I believed that anything less than five Kage would be inadequate for me. However, I believe now that you are the only one other than Hashirama who could match me. Susanoo."
A construct made of chakra appeared around Madara. "Show me your power, boy." The construct was a being with two faces and four hands. Two of the hands held huge blades in them.
"...I see. A technique based on Tatehayasusanoo-no-Mikoto," Naruto muttered. It was similar with Zaou-Gongen. Except that Zaou-Gongen is a being created by the manipulation of Yin-Yang chakra.
Susanoo swung one of it's swords towards Zaou-Gongen.
"Akshobhya!" the barrier deflected the sword easily. "Vajra!"
When the Thunderbolt came crashing down to the Raging God, Madara smirked. A massive meteorite fell down from the sky and the Divine Thunder clashed with it.
"Amaterasu!" the black flame Naruto saw in the Cosmic World appeared once again.
While an Outer God could survive it, he doubted he would be able to do the same.
"Shinra Tensei!" he pushed the flames away and kept an eye on Madara.
Madara formed a series of seals and slammed his hand to the ground. "Jukai Kōtan!" (Nativity of a World of Trees) trees began to grow on the battlefield.
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "...Mokuton." This explained how he acquired the Rinnegan. Uchiha and Senju. Eyes and Body. With the two together, a Samsara Eyes would be formed. "...he must have used Hashirama's blood..."
When the forest was formed, Madara made another series of hand seals. Seeing that, Naruto prepared his chakra.
"Katon: Gōka Messhitsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction) a stream of flame was expelled from Madara's mouth, burning the forest and continued towards Naruto.
"Mahāvairocana."
The flames disappeared the moment they touched the empty space.
"...a defensive technique..." Madara muttered. "However, no matter how strong a defense is, it can be broken. Yasaka no Magatama." The Susanoo formed three magatama and threw it like a shuriken towards Naruto.
Naruto impassively stared as they disappeared the moment they touched his Empty Space.
He dispelled his defense and pulled his fist back. Zaou-Gongen behind him did the same.
"Ōkuninushi! Watatsumi! Shina-Tsu-Hiko! Narukami!" the elements began to gather in his and Zaou's right hand. Naruto saw Madara summoning a gunbai. A massive fan used to command troops in ancient times.
"...come," Madara declared.
"Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!" as the last element gathered in his hand, Naruto dashed towards Madara and Zaou-Gongen moved.
"Yaoyorozu-no-Kami!" Naruto and Zaou-Gongen swung their arms towards Madara and Susanoo respectively.
Madara met his technique with the fan.
The fan exploded, at that moment, so did Susanoo.
However, Madara was unharmed as he skidded a few feet back.
"Amazing," Madara complimented. "I believed that only Hashirama could destroy my Susanoo but here you are, doing the same."
Then the Uchiha smirked, "Indeed. You are worthy to see it. My Perfect Susanoo."
Madara focused his chakra and slowly, a massive crimson being was formed. A Giant wearing an armor, a Tengu mask. The Giant had a long red hair which is made of flames. The Giant was far larger than Zaou-Gongen.
"...I am honored," Naruto nodded as he dispelled Zaou-Gongen. "...then let us decide this in one blow. If I can destroy your Susanoo it will be my win. If I cannot, then I will be destroyed."
Madara nodded, "a worthy conclusion to our battle. Let us begin, Namikaze Naruto." The Susanoo raised it's blades. Chakra gathered around it, increasing it's size and power.
Naruto raised his hand to the sky and began his chant.
"O Sun, Shining in the Heaven!"
"Bless this World With Your Light!" the top tomoe of outer-rim glowed.
"Vanquish My Enemies! Burn Them! Obliterate Them!"
"I Summon Thee!"'
Madara smirked in anticipation seeing the light of the Sun began to glow above Naruto. "Gaishū Isshoku!" (Armor-Sleeved Single Hit) the Susanoo swung the blade.
"Amaterasu-Omikami!"
The Raging God's blade met with the Imperial Goddess' Light.
The light faded, revealing Susanoo standing without it's sword.
"...impressive..." Madara muttered as his Susanoo's armor cracked.
"To think that someone other than Hashirama could defeat me..." the Susanoo's armor shattered and disappeared.
"However, my defeat means nothing," he declared as Susanoo began to fall.
"The revival of Jūbi is complete!" the Susanoo exploded, taking him with it.
A massive roar resounded and Naruto froze.
The Shinobi Army who were trying to destroy the statue froze as the Statue suddenly began to move.
The Statue's Eye opened, Revealing a red ripple-patterned Eye with Nine tomoe.
It's body began to transform. It's head became triangular and two horns protruded from the sides. Ten massive Tails came out of It's back.
It roared.
The One Eyed God descended upon the World.
Madara's Perfect Susanoo's technique's name came from his favorite quote which means Victory in a Single Strike.
Also, for those who understand the names in Amatsu-Mikaboshi's world, I will tell you that a certain Invader from Beyond will be important in the sequel.
Next Chapter: Samsara
