Hey, I'm back! I'm ALIVE! Fuck all the finals, fucking online assessments, fucking uni for not using our money for the servers that crashed.

Haishhh, anyways, I finally managed to finish the chapter, so here it is.

DaarknessLight, glad to hear that. You stay healthy as well my friend.

Nameless, yes, the original Naruto brought back all the Four Hokages, but that'd be overkill. Hell, Kirito being a god with the Integrity Knights are overkill enough. But hey, we'll manage.

I'm not too sure if I will revive Kushina and Minato, their story has ended, somewhat. They'll join the war of course, but not sure about after that. I'm glad you liked the Gil vs Madara fight, it was something I had to ponder on for a bit. The Juubi part will come later, soon, probably. Gil's chains are of course, strong, for they are part of the original Enkidu, but slightly different.

And yeah hahaha, I sure hope I get Castoria. On the bright side, since NA has Thanksgiving, I managed to snag Ishtar, Eresh and MHX with less than 100 sqs. XD

NeonGamer973, I'm not sure if it'll be a 'good fight' so to speak, but I'll let everyone reading this be the judge of that.

NinjaFang1331, yeah, Kirito's back, and hell's coming hahaha.

Guest, Hikari unlocked Asura's chakra in chapter 43, if you want to reread it. It was a brief mention, but Kurama brought it out.

Saint Saber Fang, I am aware of Bleach. Not necessarily a fan just because of the repetitive shit, the only thing that got me into it is the Aizen/Fake Karakura arc and the Thousand Year Quincy War arc. But alas, I'm not knowledgeable enough about it to make a fanfic on that.

LOLOLOL, I'm sorry man, I was still learning when I wrote that part. So development for all of them are slightly lacking compared to the Underworld girls. But I get what you're trying to say, I reread my story and I realized I tended to focus more on Hikari than any of the SAO girls, probably cuz she's 'Naruto' in a sense.

I'm trying to write a bit of fluff, but I'm not sure how I would go. Smut, well, I tried doing it for some of my previous stories, they fucked up the story as a whole imo.

And since you brought up Asuna being the main female lead, I will just put this here. Asuna may be the main girl for Kirito, but Alice will always be the best girl in SAO. XD

Anyways, here's the chapter. Hope you all enjoy.

XXX

It had been simple.

The four of them represented aspects of the world.

The two sisters of the four siblings, they represented life, one being the concept of life, hence light and creation.

As for the latter, she represented the means for life to flourish, thus, wisdom and knowledge.

The same was for him, as well as his brother. They represented the opposite of life, in a way, of death. He represented the end, death, darkness, and nothingness.

In the same way, his brother represented the means to the end. Weapons. Swords. Blades.

Vector had always treasured his siblings regardless of their differences. He loved them, especially his brother.

To the god of darkness, Kazuto had been the only one who could fully understand him. They hunted beasts together, before the humans started worshiping them.

Humans. He had never particularly liked them, nor did he hate them. To the dark god, they were simply there.

But then the humans started worshiping them.

Quinella and Cardinal responded to those prayers, and Kazuto had done the same in a way.

Quinella and Cardinal blessed them regularly, and Kazuto provided assistance when they required them in his domain.

Soon, the humans started flourishing under the guidance of Quinella and Cardinal. In the same way, a civilization in the Dark Territory that worshipped the dark god Vector formed.

In an attempt to have Kazuto and Vector understand the humans, the two goddesses had suggested they try living amongst them.

The dark god had his responsibilities to maintain the Dark Territory, so he couldn't afford the time, but the god of blades did not have the same duties.

So Kazuto ended up disguising himself and lived amongst the humans for years.

That was where everything changed. Vector would never admit it, but he was jealous.

Jealous because his brother would rather spend more time with humans than hunt beasts with him. It was petty of him, he knew it.

Then a woman by the name of Otsutsuki Kaguya, stole a fruit of the tree that contained mana.

Now, Vector would normally be okay with it... Had she not devoured the tree itself and posed as a goddess.

The dark god had threatened to waged war on the lands Kaguya ruled over. But Quinella and Cardinal convinced the god to hold it off, especially after Kaguya's sons, Hagoromo and Hamura sealed the Juubi away with their assistance.

Until he realized, Hagoromo had spread chakra throughout their land, without permission.

That set him off.

Vector immediately waged war on the Elemental Nations, vowing to destroy all traces of chakra from the Elemental Nations.

Kazuto saw no issues with them wielding chakra. It would help them grow, and so he stood against his brother.

(linebreak)

Vector stared at Kirito, and his eyes steeled.

In an instant, spikes made of darkness shot out from the shadows.

In response, the six swords parried them, causing them to stab into the ground around him.

Kirito narrowed his eyes, and he dashed forward, the Elucidator landing in his hands.

Vector followed suit, drawing his sword.

The two clashed blades, glaring at each other.

The dark god formed a ball of darkness in his free hand, and thrust it at the aspect of blades.

Only for Kirito to block it with a copy of Dark Repulsor.

"System Call: ENHANCE ARMAMENT!"

The two swords, forged with the intent to protect four girls, exploded in a burst of light.

Vector gritted his teeth as the light from the pair of swords pushed back against his domain of darkness.

Kirito merely stared on sternly as he pushed the Elucidator and the Dark Repulsor against the dark god.

However, the stalemate quickly came to an end, as the combined energy from the two swords and Vector's energy bomb created an explosion, forcing the two gods away.

Vector growled, and with the swing of an arm, he unleashed a wave of chakra.

Instead of moving, Kirito projected six copies of the Tensenken (Heaven Piercing Sword), all in their Enhanced states, and fired six beams of light to counter the wave.

Then, the god of blades glowed a bright red, immediately appearing right in front of Vector. It was only due to pure instinct that Vector had managed to block the strike.

The god of darkness narrowed his eyes, "Acceleration? When could you do this, Kazuto?"

Kirito stared at him sternly, "This is something I picked up in my life here. I'm not just the god Kazuto, I'm also Kirito from Konoha."

Vector grunted as Kirito's swords pushed him stumbling backwards, and he quickly stabilized his footing, glaring at his brother, "And you would protect those girls who carry the remnants of the Juubi?!"

The aspect of weapons nodded, "Yes, I will. I made a promise, and I'm not breaking it."

The aspect of darkness stared at his brother, and his eyes hardened, "Very well. Then there's nothing more to say."

Vector unleashed a burst of chakra, creating a huge hurricane of dark chakra with himself at the center.

In response, Kirito shot up to the sky, creating a hundred normal swords, with a copy of the Elucidator in his hand. The swords circled around him, before pointing downwards at Vector.

Vector roared, directing the hurricane at Kirito, while the god of swords merely thrust his sword forward, shooting out a large beam of chakra.

The two attacks clashed, surprising the four kunoichi and Obito, whereas Madara merely watched on with an intrigued expression. As for the two Integrity Knights, they had pretty much expected that much from the two gods, same for the forces of the Dark Territory.

The clash created yet another explosion, one that would have sent all of the ones watching flying backwards if they had not lost focus.

Kirito shot out of the cloud, closing the gap between him and Vector with a flash of red, before they clashed blades yet again.

The swordsman did not let up, continuing his assault on his brother, and Vector quickly found himself hard-pressed against Kirito's onslaught.

For he wasn't a god of combat nor weapons, but a god representing the concept of darkness and shadows, along with the Dark Territory. When faced against a god of weapons, it would be normal to fall, especially considering Kirito was using sword skill after sword skill.

Vector thinned his lips, and before Kirito could close in, a spike made of dark chakra shot out from the ground, nearly skewering him had Kirito not vanish in a burst of blue particles.

The aspect of darkness furrowed his brows as Kirito appeared by a copy of his swords. He had hoped to deal with his brother quickly before dealing with the Bijuu, but it would seem Kirito was still as strong as ever.

However, the dark god was torn away from his thoughts when Kirito held up a copy of a very familiar spear.

Kirito narrowed his eyes, "I'm ending this, Vector. System Call: Enhance Armament!"

Vector frowned, 'So you would even go so far to use that spear against me...'

The swordsman brandished the spear as it exploded in a burst of flames and divinity, "Release... RECOLLECTION!"

The flames surrounding Kirito tripled, and the ground around him started to melt. Vector thinned his lips, and sent a mental command for all of his troops to retreat as he prepared to meet his brother's attack.

It was now he remembered why his brother was strong. It wasn't just because of his ability with the sword or pure power, but the ability to create weapons that could do more.

Vector pooled up his mana in preparation, forming a massive arrow made of his chakra.

"Burn it all away. Vasavi SHAKTI!"

Kirito thrust the spear forward, sending a huge beam of heat and chakra at Vector. In response, the dark god unleashed his own attack with a roar.

However, as Vector had pretty much expected, the beam had easily devoured the arrow, and the god barely managed to create a shield of his own chakra to deflect the blast upwards.

The blast quickly subsided, and Kirito let the divine spear disperse.

The aspect of weapons took a breath. Even with most of his chakra back, and adding in Yui to the equation, creating a copy of Vasavi Shakti had taken quite a bit from him.

Before back in the Underworld, he could project one, and needed to rest for a while, but now he could project several without the need to rest. However, that didn't mean he didn't feel the cost.

The cloud of smoke quickly cleared up, revealing Vector with half of his royal robes burned away, his body smoking with several burns here and there.

The dark god clicked his teeth in annoyance. Apparently his brother had not grown weak, rather, he had grown stronger. Vector on the other hand, was pretty much the same from before.

That meant if he didn't go all out, then Kirito would most probably win.

Vector quickly reformed his robes, gripping his sword tightly.

Gathering chakra in his arms, the dark god unleashed a large wave of pure chakra, tainting the sky dark.

That was his authority. He didn't need any chants to impose his will onto the world. Darkness was all that existed in the beginning, and darkness was everywhere.

And this allowed him to always create an environment that gave him an advantage.

Kirito glanced around as the sky darkened, followed by the ground. It was as he remembered.

Not a reality marble. A reality marble was the act of pushing a world of your own onto another. This was the simple act of changing aspects of the world to your own liking.

Immediately, Vector vanished, and Kirito leapt up to dodge a few tendrils from the ground.

The god of weapons gave Gilgamesh a swift glance, and the third Integrity Knight understood, quickly summoning his Vimana to keep the four Jinchurikii and Mordred away from the ground.

Well, not that the air was safe, but at least he did not need to worry about Vector attacking them from below.

Kirito took a breath and called, "Yui."

Immediately, the pixie appeared by his side, "Yes, Papa?"

The swordsman gave her a determined stare, "We'll be using that."

Yui blinked, before giving her father a determined smile, "Got it!"

The pseudo-Bijuu quickly entered her father's body. Unlike before, where Yui held more power than Kirito, this time, Kirito held more than enough chakra to dwarf the girl's own.

But the girl didn't care. Instead, she focused on materialising one sword.

Arondight. Or at least, the version Kayaba Akihiko forged, and the version Kirito can only manifest at its strongest with the help of Yui.

The large sword formed in his hands, and Kirito immediately felt his link to his daughter return, prompting a smile on his face.

But his smile vanished when Kirito spotted several spikes of darkness shooting at him, and with a swing of his sword, Kirito easily dispelled them.

The man then turned, raising his sword just in time to block a slash from Vector.

The dark god narrowed his eyes as he pushed against Kirito's Arondight. No, rather than pushing against the blade itself, there was a certain force stopping him from touching the blade.

Kirito narrowed his eyes, and with a burst of chakra, he easily overpowered his brother, sending a wave of chakra from his sword in an attempt to strike down the dark god.

But Vector simply dispersed into a wisps of chakra.

Kirito narrowed his eyes. That was another of Vector's abilities in this turned realm. Just like how Kirito was one with all the swords in his reality marble, Vector was one with the environment.

The god let out a breath. He supposed he should play along.

"I am the bone of my sword."

A weak pulse of chakra shot through the area.

"Steel is my body and fire my blood."

Another pulse shot past Vector and the darkened realm, this time stronger.

"I have created over a thousand blades."

"Never defeated...nor ever victorious."

A third pulse shot passed everyone, and Vector knew he had to stop his brother.

"Have withstood pain to create many weapons."

The dark god attempted to skewer Kirito in countless dark spikes. But none of them reached him, for there were multiple swords ready to defend the god.

"Yet this life holds no meaning to it..."

Vector cursed as he braced himself, and Kirito finished.

"So as I pray... UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!"

Gathering chakra into his left arm, Kirito gave it a hard swing, and in an instant, summoned his inner world.

Immediately, the land behind Kirito changed, and Gilgamesh, Mordred, Hikari, Asuna, Sinon and Suguha found themselves above a familiar world of endless swords, separated into three sections that seemed to blend together.

The realm of swords pushed against the realm of darkness for dominance, and Vector was forced to materialise as he stated at his brother sternly.

Kirito met his gaze, and the infinite swords behind him rose to the air, all pointed at Vector.

Similarly, countless silhouettes of creatures and dark spikes formed behind Vector.

Then, both sides charged.

Swords, spears, arrows all shot forward, while formless beasts charged for the god of blades.

For every beast taken down, one weapon was broken.

And each time one was lost, one took its place.

For everyone else watching from a side, be it the forces of the Dark Territory or Madara and Obito, it was a bizarre yet spectacular sight.

(Linebreak)

Behind Kirito and his endless barrage of weapons, Gilgamesh thinned his lips.

It was refreshing to see Kirito using his Unlimited Blade Works. Unlike a certain Faker, the god's swords were genuine. They were not just mere copies, but exact replicas of every weapon he could bring forth, for every weapon was traced back to Kirito.

To add to that, it had been Enkidu and Kirito who had inspired him to use his treasury as it was. Well, more like Enkidu inspired him to do so, and Kirito was the one who gifted him with his Gate of Babylon, or at least, the base for it.

The former king pushed those thoughts away for later, and focused on the four girls on his ship.

They were tired, not to the point of exhaustion, but a war took its toll on everyone, even himself. Seeing Kirito's wellbeing had obviously done wonders to their mental state, and he too was glad, but they couldn't relax yet.

He glanced at Mordred, who was very much absorbed in watching Kirito and Vector's battle of dominance, before he felt a huge build up of chakra from Kirito, and the blonde king couldn't help but smirk.

(Linebreak)

With Madara and Obito, the pair had relocated themselves to a cliff some distance away.

Madara had insisted he wanted to watch the battle up close, but the younger, less battle hungry and more sensible Uchiha thought otherwise.

Watching the battle, Obito narrowed his eyes. They were monsters, literally Bijuu in human form, and they had four Jinchurikii nearby for fucks sake, not including the ones he had in his hands.

The masked Uchiha knew, had they not possess the large amount of Zetsu Clones and Edo Tensei, the four Bijuu and the Gedo Mazo, they would've been slaughtered.

That meant they needed the Juubi, and they needed it fast. Vector was one thing, but he doubted Kirito would spare a second thought in wiping them out.

The masked Uchiha stabilized his footing as another explosion erupted from the clash between the two realms.

It was utter bullshit. Battles between Kage level shinobi were already enough to damage an area permanently, and battles between Bijuu could reshape the geography of an area.

This was literally taking the land itself and throwing it at each other.

Obito suppressed a frustrated growl, and he whispered harshly, "Zetsu, can you get the scroll back?"

The plant man appeared in a Shunshin, surprisingly, for the first time for as long as Obito knew him, "I'll see what I can do."

The masked Uchiha nodded, and again, to his surprise, Zetsu vanished in a Shunshin.

Obito narrowed his eyes, as he eyed the swords stabbed on the ground around them, and the darkened environment some distance away from him.

He'd rather take his chances at surviving in his own lifeless pocket dimension than this one, that was for sure.

(Linebreak)

Kirito narrowed his eyes as his swords clashed against Vector's spikes and beasts. It was just like all those years ago. In terms of authority over their respective aspects, they were evenly matched.

He glanced back, spotting the Vimana and the six people on it. Yes, he had people he needed to protect, not just the human race, but specific people he had to protect.

'Papa...'

Kirito smiled at Yui's concern, 'Don't worry. We'll win, then I'll show you the Underworld and all the people there.'

The god of weapons placed his focus on his brother again.

Using the spear had taken a small bit of his full reserves, but that was before he reestablished the link with Yui.

Meaning?

He could go further now.

Retaking the Arondight made by himself and his daughter, Kirito instead chose to focus on other weapons he knew.

Fanatio's sword, the Tensenken.

Artoria's sword, Excalibur.

Gawain's sword, Excalibur Galatine.

Lancelot's sword, Arondight.

And finally, his own pair of swords, Elucidator and Dark Repulsor.

Grabbing his pair of swords, Kirito crossed his blades and let out a breath, "Release Recollection."

Immediately, all six swords exploded in a beam of light.

A sword to deflect all the light from the Sun.

A sword that represented the hope of a planet.

A sword that held a mini Sun.

A sword that shone like moonlight reflected on a lake.

And a pair of swords that lit up the future.

The six swords glowed brightly, so much that the glow extended even into the further ends of Vector's domain.

Vector's lips thinned. He wouldn't openly admit it, but he was impressed, and moreso proud of his brother.

But he could stand in the air and admire Kirito's handiwork for only so long, and quickly, he responded in kind.

Gripping his sword tightly, Vector gathered all the darkness into a single sphere above him, which slowly shaped into a huge arrow, larger than the one he had made earlier.

Both gods roared, and they unleashed their attacks.

Kirito charged forward, the four other swords following closely behind him.

In response, Vector let his power loose, sending the massive sphere at Kirito.

The aspect of swords narrowed his eyes, and he willed Excalibur and Galatine to shoot forward.

The essence of the planet and the Sun clashed against the full strength of a god.

Kirito growled as he pushed forward, using the Arondight and the Tensenken to boost the sister Excalibur swords.

It didn't take more than a minute for Kirito to break through.

Vector's eyes widened, as Kirito was suddenly in his face.

The dark god let loose a burst of dark chakra. But he was a tad bit too late.

The aspect of weapons swung his swords at Vector's shoulder.

They found their target, and Kirito roared, pulling the swords down as hard as he could.

Then, the two gods crashed into the ground, raising a cloud of dust that obscured everyone from seeing the brothers.

However, the outcome was obvious, the change in the landscape gave it away, as the realm of infinite swords started to pushed the dark realm back.

Kirito stepped back, the copies of the four swords of light vanishing, while the Elucidator and Dark Repulsor remained in his hands.

He stared at Vector's bloodied figure, "Just stop, Vector. There shouldn't be a need for us to fight anymore."

The dark god stared at him, holding the huge gash that ran from his left shoulder, all the way to his upper waist, "This... This is your answer?"

Kirito nodded, "The Dark Territory has been at odds with the Human Empire long enough, and our worlds have been separated for far too long. I want to bring them back together, for my sake, and their sake."

The aspect of darkness furrowed his brows, "And you would let Kaguya's remains roam the world?"

Kirito merely stared at his brother, and he frowned, "Kaguya's dead. Hagoromo's dead. And I'd rather not cut down my brother just because of his pride."

Vector stared at him for a while, and he nodded slowly, "Very well. Unlike the last time, you actually won. I suppose, the loser has to listen to what the winner says."

The aspect of weapons nodded, "Then..."

The blonde nodded, "I'll go back. I would offer to help you, but I suppose you won't need it."

Kirito gave him a small smirk, "Don't push yourself old man."

The realm of infinite weapons started to recede, same for the other realm, and Vector huffed, "Speak for yourself..."

The dark god painfully got to his feet, "Vassago."

The dark Knight immediately appeared by his side, "Yes."

The god gave his right hand man a glance, "Order a retreat. We've overstayed our welcome."

Vassago nodded, "By your will."

"Or is that what you expected me to say?"

Eyes widened, as Vector's body stiffened.

The reason was rather simple.

He had a dagger stabbed into his back. No, it was more accurate to say that the dagger and the hand holding the weapon was stabbed into his back.

The god growled, glaring back at his right hand, "Vassago, what is the meaning of this?!"

The dark knight smirked, and leaped away just in time to dodge a dozen spikes.

Vector's eyes narrowed, something mirrored by Kirito, as Vassago landed.

The reason was simple. The dark knight was standing by Madara and Obito, a very familiar scroll in his hands.

The knight handed the scroll to Obito, and Madara asked the dark knight, "What are you planning?"

Vassago chuckled, as half of his face turned pitch black, "You asked me to retrieve the scroll, I obeyed."

Obito raised an eyebrow in recognition, "Zetsu, eh?"

The knight nodded.

Vector glared at them sternly, "Vassago, so you were a traitor."

The dark knight stared at the god amusedly, "I suppose there's no reason to hide this. I am not Vassago. My name is Zetsu, I'm merely borrowing your knight's body."

The dark god glared, "Give him back."

Vassago chuckled, "No, this body still has its uses. But, is your subordinate's body really what you should be worried about now?"

Vector and Kirito's eyes widened, as Obito chucked the scroll into the Gedo Mazo's mouth.

Kirito cursed, immediately summoning a dozen swords to stop the scroll.

But he was too late.

The scroll entered the Gedo Mazo's mouth, and the next instant, everything exploded.

(Linebreak)

Kirito coughed, as he regained his bearings.

He looked back up at the Vimana, where Gilgamesh, Mordred, and the girls were.

The aspect of swords then glanced at his brother, who was glaring at the sight before him.

The Juubi. An incomplete version of it. But it was the Juubi.

Kirito got to his feet, staring solemnly at the beast.

Obito and Madara stared down at the Dark Territory army, the two gods and the six other people on the Vimana.

Obito chuckled, "How is this, gods? This is the Juubi."

Kirito narrowed his eyes, but his eyes widened as he felt numerous chakra signatures behind him, and he smiled softly.

The aspect of weapons stood up straight, and he unleashed a burst of chakra, "Answer my call, Integrity Knights."

It was a simple sentence. But every Integrity Knight in range heard it.

In an instant, all the Integrity Knights that joined the war appeared behind Kirito, including Gilgamesh and Mordred, leaving the four girls on the Vimana which slowly descended to the ground.

They wasted no time to stand beside their god, or in Eugeo's case, his brother.

Bercouli stared at his student, no, he wasn't just his student, but so much more, "Lord Kazuto?"

Kirito glanced at the first Integrity Knight and gave him a nod, "Bercouli... sensei."

A small smirk tugged at his lips, something mirrored by the old Integrity Knight.

Eugeo spoke up, "Kirito, you're fine?"

The god glanced at his brother in all but blood, and nodded, "Yeah, well, a bit different, but good."

The blonde knight just nodded, "I see."

Kirito glanced back to see the entire Alliance army gathered before them, "Quite the army we have."

Artoria nodded, "Yes, we brought our forces here as soon as we cleaned up."

Kirito nodded, noticing Sakura and Tsunade healing Hikari, Asuna, Suguha and Sinon. That was good.

The Raikage's voice reached their ears, "So, you're back, kid?"

Kirito regarded the four Kage, who stood some distance from them, all wary of the Juubi, the fact that some of the Integrity Knights were sporting irritated expressions didn't escape him, and the man gave the four Kage a nod, "Yeah."

Gaara stared at the swordsman with interest, "You seem different."

The man shrugged, "Eh, a lot happened."

The Kazekage nodded, but before they could continue, Madara spoke up, "Quite an impressive sight. Are you all ready?"

The Raikage glared up at the two Uchihas, "Uchiha Madara! Your mad acts will end here!"

Madara raised an eyebrow, "Are you really sure about that?"

Ohnoki grinned and yelled, "Now!"

"RAITON: RAIKOCHU!"

From the Kumogakure shinobi, a blinding torrent of light shot towards the Juubi, effectively blinding them. Obito cursed, "Petty tricks!"

"KIRIGAKURE NO JUTSU!"

A huge wave of mist covered the area, and all of a sudden, Obito and Madara couldn't sense any of the Alliance forces before them. Madara frowned, "A jamming technique..."

Obito nodded, his Sharingan spotting multiple chakra signatures in the air, "We'll just have to wipe them out with an attack from the Juubi."

But they didn't get the chance to.

"DOTON: Daichidōkaku!"

Instantly, the Juubi fell, and before Madara and Obito realized, they were stuck in a massive pit.

"YOTON: Sekkaigyō no Jutsu!"

"SUITON: DAIBAKUFU NO JUTSU!"

"KATON: DAIENDAN NO JUTSU!"

In a huge combination of quicklime, fire and water, the Juubi found itself stuck in makeshift concrete. Obito and Madara merely frowned, but the Alliance forces weren't done.

Countless copies of the Tensenken appeared around the Juubi, and every shinobi readied a projectile jutsu, while most of the knights readied a projectile spell.

The attacks let loose, and the Juubi was bombarded with seemingly endless attacks.

Obito growled, "Petty little tricks..."

The Juubi roared, and in an instant, broke out of the makeshift trap, blowing most of the Alliance forces back at the same time.

Everyone's vision quickly cleared, and the noticed the Juubi. But this time, it was different.

On a far side, Vector cursed as Dee Eye Ell nursed his wounds, "The second form..."

Shasta asked, "The second form?"

Vector nodded, "The Juubi has three forms. Four, if you count the tree. The first one is the one we saw just now. It's meant to build up mana. The second form is more combat oriented, but unstable, and the third form is basically a canon."

Lipia asked, "Should we assist them?"

The dark god shook his head, "No, you'll just die. Kazuto should have it handled."

(Linebreak)

Kirito narrowed his eyes as he stared at the second form of the Juubi. It was as he remembered. A humanoid beast.

Obito smirked as he stared down, "Do you understand now? God or no, you can't possibly win.

Kirito took a breath, and spoke, "Trace. On."

In an instant, Yui's Arondight appeared in his hands, "Everyone, prepare your Full Armament Control Arts. This is a fight to save the world."

The Integrity Knights obeyed, and eighteen pillars of chakra rose throughout amongst the army.

Bercouli's sword of time.

Mordred's sword of lightning.

Gilgamesh's sword of rupture.

Eldrie's whip of snakes.

Deusolbert's bow of flames.

Eugeo's sword of icy roses.

Siegfried's dragon slayer.

Nero's sword of burning roses.

Scheta's sword of lilies.

Tanjiro's katana of flames.

Giyuu's katana of water.

Zenitsu's katana of thunder.

Kanao's katana of flowers.

Artoria's sword of the planet.

Gawain's sword of the Sun.

Lancelot's sword of the lake.

Alice's sword of the olive fragrant trees.

And finally, Yui's sword.

Madara huffed, "Do you think we'd let you?"

The Juubi instantly charged a massive Bijuudama in its mouth, one that was way larger than what anyone had seen.

But before the Juubi could fire it, five Bijuudamas struck it, causing it to explode in the Juubi's face, much to Obito and Madara's ire.

Kirito glanced back, noticing the five Bijuu standing there, smoke and chakra leaking from their mouths. He gave them a simple nod of thanks, before focusing on the beast.

"Release Recollection."

Eighteen weapons all exploded into action, as they unleashed their full strength upon the Juubi.

All of them struck Juubi straight on, and effectively severed Obito and Madara's connection to the beast as they crashed into the ground, quickly regaining their footing.

As for the Juubi, the eighteen attacks had sent it flying some distance away, crashing onto the ground as it did.

The smoke cleared, and it was obvious the Juubi hadn't come out unscathed.

Some chunks of its body were missing, and it was scarred and burnt all over in some parts of its body.

Kirito frowned. It was just as he remembered, tough as hell, near indestructible, for even Yui's sword and Gilgamesh's sword had done a little more than put numerous scratches on it.

"I must admit, I severely underestimated your prowess, Integrity Knights."

Everyone turned to see Madara and Obito at a side.

Gilgamesh huffed, "You really believe the two of you mongrels can take on all of us?"

Obito frowned, "A bit of a set back, but not so much of a problem."

Madara stared at them coldly, "It's time you disappear."

"Katon: Gouka Mekkyaku!"

"Katon: Ranbu Bakufu!"

Two huge waves of flames shot out from the two Uchihas.

"KATON: GOKAKYU NO JUTSU/ENDAN/KARYUENDAN!"

But the flames were easily countered by a combination of Katon jutsu from the Alliance, much to the two Uchiha's annoyance.

But before thet could continue, Kirito heard Yui's voice, 'Papa! The Juubi!'

The aspect of swords snapped his head at the Juubi, who had its fists raised, and he cursed, "Everyone, move!"

The army barely had time, as the Juubi slammed its fists on to the ground where most of the Alliance army was. But it wasn't done as the Juubi started to flail wildly.

The punch took down a few knights and Jounins, and the wide swings from the Juubi had managed to take down a dozen more.

Bee grunted, as the Hachibi attempted to stop one of its fists, only to be blown away.

Only a barrage of weapons from Gilgamesh managed to stop the Juubi from fatally injuring any more of their allies.

The Raikage glared at Madara and Obito, but before Ay could open his mouth, the ancient Uchiha huffed, "Don't glare at us like that, you cut off our connection from the Juubi in its second stage. It cannot be controlled now."

Asuna glared at him as she stood by her sisters, "Then we'll just have to stop it."

Isobu huffed in his seal, "Easier said than done."

Matatabi grunted, speaking in their connection between the Bijuu, "But a of the old are with us. It should be possible."

Kurama grunted, annoyance in his voice, "You're all rather relaxed when the fucking Juubi is in front of us."

As if jinxing it, the Juubi swung its fists straight at the girls, and Hikari instantly Hiraishin'd everyone away from the spot, letting the Juubi's arms raze the ground.

Kirito glanced around, glad he hadn't needed to act to help them. He focused on everyone else, the Alliance forces were doing their best to keep Madara and Obito at bay and stay alive from the Juubi's attacks at the same time.

They could defend against the Juubi's attacks, no problem. But the problem was with attacking the Juubi.

Cutting off its tails and arms were one thing, but actually damaging its main body was totally different. Kirito was confident, he and his Integrity Knights, and maybe the Kage Level shinobi could damage it, but that would put the other not-so-strong members of the Alliance at risk.

The aspect of weapons was brought out from his musings when the Juubi shot out countless wooden spikes from its tails.

Kirito cursed and summoned multiple swords to counter them, something mirrored by Gilgamesh, earning a nod of approval from the god.

The aspect of weapons widened as his eyes, and he barely managed to raise Yui's Arondight to block a strike from Madara's Gunbai, 'He's here?! They were doing quite well to keep him at bay!'

Kirito's eyes darted around, spotting Kakashi, Guy and numerous Jounin fighting Obito, while a few more laid on the ground, most likely from Madara forcefully pushing through, whereas the Integrity Knights and the Jinchurikii tried to hold the Juubi's attacks back.

Madara smirked, "What are looking around for? Come on, fight me! Show me that strength you had when you fought that other god!"

Kirito cursed, spotting another attack from the Juubi, yet it was successfully repelled by Sinon/Matatabi and Mordred.

He focused on Madara, "I don't have time to deal with you."

Kirito summoned six copies of the Kubikiribocho and sent them spinning at Madara, who skillfully batted them away with his war fan while backing away.

Madara huffed, "Don't be like that, I haven't fought someone on Hashirama's level in a long time. Those blonde knights of yours, and now you. You have no idea how much my blood is burning right now."

The swordsman just narrowed his eyes, and a copy of the Dark Repulsor in Released mode appeared in his left hand, and he swung it at Madara, forcing the ancient Uchiha to dodge.

Kirito then heard Yui's voice, 'Papa, go all out!'

The man chuckled inwardly, letting the copy of the Dark Repulsor vanished, and Kirito gripped Yui's Arondight with both hands, "If you really want a strong opponent so badly, then I'll give you one!"

Chakra exploded from the large sword, and Kirito raised the sword over his head, letting all the chakra flow from the sword.

Madara smirked in excitement, preparing his perfect Susano'o's Katana, letting it reach up into the sky.

They both swung.

Madara never stood a chance. The one strike had easily broken through the partially formed Perfect Susano'o and sent the ancient Uchiha flying straight into a bolder nearby.

Kirito let out a breath, and focused on the Juubi itself, as the Integrity Knights were slowly chipping away at the beast with help from everyone else.

Mei huffed as she landed after shooting a huge blob of lava at the beast, "That is quite a terrifying sword."

Kirito gave the Mizukage a glance, and nodded, "I guess so..."

Ohnoki chuckled, still processing how Kirito easily threw Madara away, "So, kid, or should we call you Kami-sama?"

The swordsman chuckled, "Call me as you want, I'm the same person I was back then."

Ay nodded, noticing the four Jinchurikii glancing at them even as they helped the Integrity Knights fend off the Juubi, "Then do you have any ideas how we can stop the Juubi?"

Kirito stared at said beast, "The last time I saw it, that kid Hagoromo and his brother Hamura sealed it into the moon. But I'm not sure how they did it."

Gaara frowned, "So we won't be able to stop it like how this Hagoromo and Hamura did?"

The aspect of weapons nodded, "It would seem so. Well, we'll just have to keep going."

(Linebreak)

Meanwhile, Hikari was having a similar conversation with Kurama, "So, how did the Juubi go down the last time?"

Kurama grunted, "The Juubi was sealed into the moon by my old man, and its chakra was split into the nine of us Bijuu. I'm not too sure what he did, but I suppose it'd be hard for us to replicate it."

Hikari nodded, "Then, can we damage it? I can't sense the Juubi though."

The Kyubi huffed, "Of course, it's running purely on Senjutsu chakra. It's literally one with the nature now, and it's pretty much the same for your mate and that god of darkness."

The last Namikaze, being a natural sensor, frowned, "Hmm, but Kirito-kun's chakra is the same though?"

The ninetails nodded, "Naturally, I said it before, he's one with the nature. You won't be able to sense it considering you've been accustomed to it as a child, especially because of that."

Hikari nodded, before an idea popped into her head, "You mentioned they're one with nature, right? What if I used sage mode?"

Kurama grimaced, "You can try, but I'd rather you not. It'll just be looking at something unmeasurable."

But the blonde was already in Sage mode, and she felt everything all at once.

It was as Kurama mentioned. The Juubi felt like an endless abyss of nature chakra swirling at one point, and Kirito wasn't that far off, same for the god Vector some distance away from them.

Hikari reacted the same way any person would if they could see what she was seeing. She froze.

It was also at that moment the Juubi chose to target the one Senjutsu user it could sense, as it fired a small Bijuudama straight at Hikari.

And by small, it was the standard size of a normal Bijuu.

Meaning, it was faster than anyone could react.

The Integrity Knights tried to intercept the Bijuudama, but none of them could reach it in time, neither could any of the other Jinchurikii.

Kirito started to glow a bright red, and he may have managed to reach the Bijuudama.

But before anyone could move, the Bijuudama suddenly vanished, and four chakra signatures registered in every sensor's mind.

A single kunai stabbed itself into the ground, one that Ay could never forget.

"Am I late?"

A blonde man with spiky hair landed by the kunai, his white haori flapping from the wind, and his presence broke Hikari out of her stupor.

"O-otou-san?!"

Namikaze Minato turned and smiled at his daughter, "Hey, Hikari."

XXX

Done. So I was really stuck on how the fights will go, considering all of the ones on the Alliance's side are overpowered to some extent. Integrity Knights are already overpowered, and Kirito and Vector are literal gods.

Not to mention, Hikari, Asuna, Sinon and Suguha are all mid Kage level Kunoichi.

But yeah, I digress, we might just see a much shorter battle compared to canon hahahahaha.

Anyways, I am aware this may not be the best chapter, but do review please.

Until next time.
