The Rise Of A Legend
Chapter 49: The Truth Of The Moon
Previously:
"Otsutsuki Kaguya-hime," Naruto greeted grimly.
"Who are you?" Kaguya asked.
Naruto answered, "Uzumaki Naruto, your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson. Also, your son in my previous life."
Then he turned to Obito. "Your plan has failed you." The Uchiha lunged at him with his arms outstretched.
Naruto immediately grabbed hold of Obito's hands with his own. The two began a brief grappling match.
Pooling chakra into his hand, Naruto formed half of the Horse hand seal while forcing Obito to complete the other half with his own hand.
Naruto jumped up and kicked explosively against Obito's chest, stunning him as well launching the blond back.
"Katon: Goka Mekkyaku!" The furious flames swarmed Obito whose Gudo Dama wrapped around him protectively, though to no avail as the attack was infused with Rikudo Senjutsu chakra.
After Obito's Truth-Seeking Balls melted, Naruto jumped in to engage him. First Naruto reached out a quick fist to his face, to which Obito responded with a blocking arm.
Then Obito did a right hook, intent on catching Naruto in the face. The blond ducked underneath before thrusting his hands out at Obito's chest.
A Gudo Dama formed instantly and rammed into Obito, throwing him back like a broken rag doll.
Then it began building up energy and exploded. Fortunately for Obito, he escaped - by substituting himself with Kaguya.
When the princess emerged, she was not amused. Kaguya glared at Obito with her two Byakugans.
"Uh oh. Obito is screwed," Naruto thought as Kaguya trained her eyes on the Uchiha.
"How dare you?!" the SS-rank princess roared. Naruto watched as she disappeared and reappeared in front of Obito, a hand wrapped around his throat.
Obito started choking. "It appears he can't use Kamui after absorbing the Jubi... Now's my chance," Naruto thought.
A Gudo Dama flew under Obito. It opened wide like a blooming flower with black petals and a long black stalk.
"Gudo Dama: Kokuren (Truth-Seeking Ball: Black Lotus)!" Naruto shouted. Kaguya withdrew her hand as she noticed the petals closing in around Obito, trapping him.
Then the black petals imploded in a shower of blood. The lotus bloomed once again to reveal a crushed and mangled Obito, mutilated beyond recognition.
Blood was flooding the floor, spilled from the open flower. "Just how I imagined the death of my family's killer," Naruto said darkly as he turned to his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.
Kaguya spoke, "Time to complete my control of the world. You were not supposed to be in the picture, Uzumaki Naruto."
"World domination, huh?" Naruto asked casually while morphing the lotus back into multiple orbs, "I guess I'll have to take you down."
"That's too bad. You're quite handsome, my descendant," Kaguya replied.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. Many women have complimented his looks, and fawned over him. That is, until Yugito kicked their asses. But coming from his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, that was just creepy.
"Sorry, Kaguya-baachan but I gotta attend to my newborns," Naruto responded.
"Oh, a family man too? That's just cute," Kaguya said, activating her Byakugan on Naruto.
And she went blind from the amount of chakra in Naruto's system. It was literally impossible. There were pools of blue, red, green and yellow chakra in his body, which meant human, demonic, senjutsu and Rikudo Senjutsu chakra respectively.
"Ah! My eyes!" Kaguya yelled, clawing at her now blind Byakugans. So that was what looking at infinite colourful chakra coils felt like.
Naruto took the chance to form hand seals. "Senpo: Futon: Sunabokori (Sage Art: Wind Style: Dust Cloud)!"
A massive amount of sand expelled from Naruto's mouth clouded Kaguya's vision further. Naruto was no fool to the fact that Kaguya still had her third eye, the Rinne Sharingan to see.
"First you're blind. Now you're deaf!" Naruto thought as he slammed his palms together. "Senpo: Kawazu Naki (Sage Art: Frog Call)!"
Explosive soundwaves shot out from his mouth and deafened Kaguya the moment they reached her eardrums.
The first human to use chakra screamed in pain, blood leaking out of her ears. But she couldn't move as the waves also caused temporary paralysis.
Naruto focused an enormous amount of chakra into his palm, causing the ground to crack under the pressure.
"Rikudo Hasangeki (Six Paths Mountain Crusher)!" the blond yelled while thrusting out his palm towards the paralysed Kaguya.
The chakra blast slammed into her with full force, flinging her back all the way to one of the barrier walls.
The surrounding terrain of her path was annihilated, marked by a fifty metre deep and fifty metre wide kilometer-long trench.
A smokescreen from the impact lofted in the area. Out of the smoke, there were over a thousand shuriken flying at him.
Naruto shouted, "Jinton: Zenkai Sensai no Jutsu (Particle Style: Primeval World Shearing Jutsu)!"
A whitish spherical aura wrapped around Naruto, with a thin coat of chakra surrounding him.
When the shurikens entered the sphere, they disintegrated. This sphere was almost as good as Susano'o in defence, capable of destroying most things that entered the sphere.
The coat of chakra around Naruto was to prevent any detrimental effects to himself.
As the last wave of shurikens got disintegrated, Naruto cancelled his jutsu and flew into the smoke.
He was greeted by Kaguya who threw two quick punches to his face and chest. He quickly parried them with his own, then created two other hands with Shurado to punch her.
Kaguya twisted her body and dodged them, before pirouetteing quickly. Suddenly, bones shot out from her body intent on impaling the Uzumaki.
Naruto who predicted that with his dojutsu, backflipped away thrice. "Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu (All-Killing Ash Bones)?" Naruto thought.
The bones were then fired out at Naruto at high speeds. "Kuso!" Naruto cursed. They were too fast, even Kamui was not instantaneous. And there were too many to simply dodge.
A word came to his mind. "Amenominaka!" Naruto shouted. He disappeared to another dimension instantaneously.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka (Rift Travelling)!" Naruto spoke, ripping open a rift in space-time linked to the space behind Kaguya. Like a portal, he went through and appeared on the other side.
Kaguya spun around and slashed at his left arm with a bone sword, severing it. The left arm dropped to the floor before turning into ashes and scattering.
Naruto merely grunted in pain, but whispered, "Rikudo Yo no Chikara (Six Paths Yang Power)." The arm regenerated in less than a second before the White Light Chakra Sabre appeared in that hand.
Slashing downwards, he severed Kaguya's right arm. However, she had no such power of regeneration.
Kaguya snarled and lunged towards him. Naruto quickly sealed his tanto and grappled with his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.
"Rikudo In no Chikara (Six Paths Yin Power)!" Naruto yelled, uppercutting Kaguya with a fist full of Rikudo Senjutsu chakra augmented by Yin chakra.
This sent her flying upwards, then Naruto jumped up after her. Landing three blows, he went behind her in mid-air.
"Kage Buyo (Shadow Of The Dancing Leaf)," Naruto uttered, copying her body posture and position. Then he, in replacement of bandages, wrapped his arms around Kaguya's waist.
"Omote..." started Naruto. He grabbed tight and nosedived while spinning like a tornado upside-down, bringing Kaguya with him.
"Renge (Front Lotus)!" Naruto shouted, detaching himself just as they reached the ground. Backflipping, he landed safely while Kaguya crashed into the ground.
The first kunoichi climbed out of the crater, glaring at Naruto with her third eye. Then she spoke, "Amenominaka!"
They teleported to another dimension, a stalagmite cave. Kaguya immediately grabbed him by his arms and threw him towards a wall.
After he slammed into it and bounced off, Kaguya grabbed him by his collar and did a sacrifice throw, flinging him to the other side of the cave.
Naruto wheezed in pain; this was the power of the first human with chakra. Kaguya went to him, sending a punch to his face.
"Aisunojigoku!" Naruto shouted. A whole block of ice burst from the floor and deflected Kaguya's fist. It didn't even crack.
Aisunojigoku is a special Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Amaterasu's counterpart. While Amaterasu summoned flames from heaven, Aisunojigoku summoned the ice of hell. It was super strong, yet could be easily moulded into various weapons using shape transformation. It would never melt, not even after the user's death.
Naruto had unlocked this Mangekyo ability along with a few other space-time Rinne Sharingan jutsus including Yomotsu Hirasaka - an advanced version of Amenominaka using rifts.
The next was Amenotokotachi - a technique that allowed the user to teleport, comparable to the Hiraishin but instantaneously and without using any jutsu-shikis. Instead, just looking at anywhere would allow teleportation to that area. Also, it enabled a form of intangibility by utilising afterimages. When the user is about to be hit, the body reacts by moving away so fast that there's an afterimage to take the user's place. The last aspect was somewhat time control, possible through extreme time perception. The user is so fast to the point that the world around him appears to be frozen or moving in super slow motion, allowing him to do whatever he wants in that fraction of a second. An actual second may be an hour to him. The possibilities were endless. This whole jutsu had such diverse aspects that it was probably too overpowered.
The last was Amenoukihashi, a time control ability that allowed him to send objects to the past or the future, thereby allowing something to be restored to its original state or going past its life expectancy. For example, he could send a shattered glass to the recent past and restore it. Also, he could send an attack to the past where it wasn't used, negating it. Or, he could send a piece of wood to the future and make it decay. Apart from that, he could do "flash forward", an ability which allows him to catch an object mid-air and send it back to the opponent at twice its original speed. "Time lag", an ability which slows down the time around an object or attack and bring it to a halt, used as a set-up for the previous ability. This jutsu was very dangerous if learned, the forbidden art of controlling time.
Naruto rolled away from the ice and Kaguya before getting up. Wiping his bleeding mouth, he amassed chakra in his right eye. "Amaterasu!"
Black flames burst from the ice and nearly scorched the ancient princess who jumped back.
Naruto then channelled chakra to both eyes. "Amenotokotachi!" He teleported in front of Kaguya and grabbed her by the kimono.
"Amenominaka!" The two appeared in the sky inside the barrier, grappling for dominance. A stray fist caught Kaguya in the jaw, snapping her head back.
She roared and punched back, though Naruto teleported again. He did a roundhouse kick to her neck and sent her crashing into the floor without even using chakra.
Outside The Barrier
"So this is the power of the Six Paths..." Bee murmured. The whole Shinobi Alliance had assembled outside the barrier to watch the last battle.
Inside The Barrier
Kaguya got up as Naruto scattered Hiraishin kunais all over the battlefield.
Naruto knew that despite her deafness, Kaguya's third eye could lip-read what he said, so he spoke anyway. "Let me show you the Hiraishin's fourth level, also known as the... Hiraishin: Ren no Dan (Hiraishin: Sequence Stage)!"
Naruto dropped into a stance before shooting forward. Planting his palm into her stomach and marking her with the jutsu-shiki, Naruto proceeded to do a mule kick to her throat.
This threw her high into the sky. Naruto teleported after her, a Rasengan in hand. He then shoved the orb into her body and dropped her all the way down.
Just as she reached the ground, Naruto teleported again, another Rasengan ready. After slamming it into her, the sphere rapidly expanded to the size of a Cho Odama Rasengan and obliterated the surrounding terrain in a twenty metre radius.
Kaguya coughed and blood sprayed on the floor. Her descendant was strong. Just like her son...
"This is the final level of my Hiraishin, level 5. You will be the first to see it, first-hand as well," Naruto spoke as he drew the Hakko Chakra To and the Uzuken.
Slipping into a dual sword stance, he let his chakra flood the area. The White Light Chakra Sabre's blade was glowing white with a loud buzzing noise, an aura of Rikudo Senjutsu chakra around it. Meanwhile the Uzuken's blade was glittering with an azure hue.
Every single Hiraishin kunai scattered on the field lit up with a golden pulse like a Christmas tree, signalling their activation for the ultimate Flying Raijin technique.
Naruto grinned menacingly. "Ready? Hiraishin: Raijin no Mai (Hiraishin: Dance Of The Thunder God)!"
Outside The Barrier
Minato held a breath as he watched with hidden anticipation of Naruto's technique. He was very sure, this would be the point where Naruto was more of a master of Hiraishin then him.
Inside The Barrier
"Ikuze!" Naruto yelled before he disappeared. All that could be seen for ten seconds were random golden flickers around Kaguya.
Then he reappeared in the same place in the same stance. Naruto spun his swords around before sheathing them.
When he did, Kaguya spasmed as thousands of deep gashes revealed themselves on her body. Her left arm dropped to the floor, severed from the main body. She was now armless.
The princess screamed in pain and rage. "You have infuriated me, Naruto!" she yelled.
"It's time to complete the plan! Mugen Tsukuyomi!"
Author's Notes:
Still in Seoul for my holiday, though I managed to complete this chapter. I don't think the next chapter will be the last, so look out. My new story will come out soon. "The Yondaime's Legacy" will only be released after the first five chapters have been written, which I will post all in one shot. Now that I have experience, I should be able to write a better fan fiction. The Naruto there will be less overpowered, but still be quite awesome with abilities I don't think anyone else has used. Also, there's a side story but I wouldn't spoil it for you. Thanks to Tsukoblue for giving some plot ideas for the next story. See you next chapter, there will be no warning because it's a replacement of a notice like this one.
Until tomorrow,
Ja Ne
