The Chaos Maelstrom

Disclaimer: I own nothing

"Hey. Long time no see."

Naruto's widened eyes stared into Terios' own as he took in his current form. His overall appearance still remained largely the same as when they first met but with minor differences. His left eye's sclera was colored black while his iris was still a dark violet color. He has reptilian scale-like features on his face.

"Terios." Naruto said, his features set in a serious glare.

"Well, well. It's about time you finally beat them." Terios said, placing a hand on his hip. "I was just starting to get bored waiting for you to get done."

That earned him a scoff from his counterpart. "Yeah? Well that's what happens when you get jumped by six emerald power Chaos' and stay unconscious for two whole days."

"Oh?" Terios looked amused. "Well, that explains a lot. I've heard the Chaos Warriors have been causing trouble around the Five Great Nations and was a bit curious as to why you didn't stop them." He shrugged his shoulders as though he didn't care. "But still, I must congratulate you on doing a job well done. You're finally whole."

Naruto still held his glare and decided to ask him something that's been plaguing his mind lately since that day. "Tell me something. After we fought that day, you said you had no use for the Chaos Warriors. If that's true, then why did you give them the emeralds?"

"...Allow me to answer that with another question." Terios said, an equal serious look on his face. "Tell me, in your honest words, how did the world look to you during your journey across the nations?"

Naruto looked surprised by the sudden question. He was about to answer before he looked back on the journey he and his friends took. There were some good moments and some bad moments as well. The good thing was that he was able to meet a lot of people, make some new friends and learn more about the shinobi world. The bad thing was that he was introduced to the darker side of the world.

Smaller countries being ruled by a corrupt bastard, a good person who only saw himself as a tool for someone who saved him, a jinchuriki being mistreated so badly by everyone in the village including his own family to the point he became an emotionless tool just as his father wanted even though he tried to kill him, a child among others who're being experimented on by an ex-hidden leaf ninja war hero, an innocent catwoman looking for help only to get attacked because she wasn't human and then there was learning about Terios' clan not too long ago.

"It's completely messed up." Naruto finally answered with Terios nodding in agreement.

"That's right." The dark demi-god said in a blank tone. "But this world is more than just 'messed up'. It's starting to become hell. Absolute hell." He gave Naruto a glare. "While you've been living a peaceful life on your precious island, this world keeps on getting worse as the years pass and it's all because of this stupid cycle that we live."

"What cycle?" Naruto asked, raising a confused brow.

"The Cycle of Hatred." Terios said, looking up at the empty space with a dazed look in his eyes not seeing the confused expression on Naruto's face. "Before I tell you why I gave the Chaos Warriors the emeralds, allow me to tell you a story. Have you ever heard of my clan?"

The confusion on Naruto's face turned into anger. "No shit I heard about your sick murderous clan!" He glared at Terios who looked back at him uncaringly. "They performed human sacrifices on innocent people and their own clansmen just to get a power that's impossible to reach! I also know that there was a kill-on-sight order on them after the five country's leaders had enough of them, but nobody's seen them since."

Terios stared at Naruto before he released a chuckle. "Looks like someone did their homework." He said. "Yes. Everything you heard about my clan is no doubt true, but I think it'll be better if you heard our history from it's last member."

"Last member? What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

The guardian narrowed his eyes in confusion when Terios raised his hand and snapped his fingers. His confusion turned into surprise when he saw the space around them shifted and changed. They were now on the road where they saw a small group of people, in the form of silhouettes, walking down the road.

"A long time ago, the Kura clan were nothing but a small traveling merchant clan. However, after the Sage of Six Paths gifted all living creatures with the power of chakra and with the discovery of ninjutsu, that small clan evolved from being a merchant to a mercenary shinobi clan." Terios explained, watching as the small group of people started to increase more as he told the story.

The scene changed to show the Kura Clan fighting against several shinobi in a bloody war, making Naruto look disturb by the carnage while Terios remained neutral on it.

"During the warring states period, my clan was one of many who were hired by the highest bidder to do the dirty work. The reason was because of our unique skills with Yin Release."

"What unique skills?" Naruto asked.

"We can control the darkness, or to be more specific, we control the shadows." Terios answered, much to Naruto's confusion. "Unlike the Hidden Leaf's Nara clan, who are known for their Shadow Possession techniques and can only do so much with it, the Kura clan can become and control the shadows themselves. So, in a way, the Nara and Kura clans were considered rivals during that era."

Hearing this made Naruto think about that lazy Nara kid he met a long time ago. What was his name again? Shikamichi? No, that wasn't right. Shikanoko? NoIt was definitely Shika-something. Shikamaru? Yeah, Shikamaru, that was his name.

"It didn't take long for the other mercenary clans to hunt us down like dogs and kill us because of our power" Terios continued. "Most of the surviving members left and went into hiding. It wasn't until after the establishment of shinobi villages did the Kura clan reappear, only with evil intentions."

"The human sacrifice thing." Naruto said, already knowing the answer.

Terios nodded his head, watching as the scene changed to show the Kura clan hiding in a cave. "After the Kura clan lost most of its members and went into hiding, they wanted revenge against their enemies and the allies who wronged them. But with how small they were, they knew they stood no chance against the powerful shinobi clans, especially the Senju and Uchiha. So they decided to do something about it. In order to become even more powerful, they had to get the power of the Sage of Six Paths himself."

The scene changed to show the Kura clan with a bunch of people tied up in a circle with a lone man standing in the center of it.

"In order to acquire that power, they had to look up various forbidden rituals. Most of them failed and the clan only grew smaller as a result. It wasn't long until they decided to perform human sacrifice on certain individuals with powerful chakra. The ritual was to take the chakra of those individuals and add it to their own. It worked successfully as they had enough power to match against the Senju and Uchiha but it came at a price."

The scene changed to show a temple of some kind and the two demigods could hear the sound of coughing.

"The body couldn't handle the amount of different foreign chakra. As a result, the body will weaken and they'll contract an incurable illness. They will die afterwards." Terios explained as his fists balled up in anger. "They kept up with that ritual for so many years, kidnapping people from different nations, using them and their own clansmen as a way to balance out the foreign chakra in their body. They even kidnapped members of the Uzumaki clan because of their powerful life force so that they could extend their lives. But after what happened to their homeland all those years ago, they couldn't find any Uzumaki that were alive. They thought they went extinct."

"Uzumaki?" Naruto's eyes widened in horror at the revelation before he scowled in anger. The Uzumaki Clan?! They took members of his former clan and used them as sacrifices to extend their life force?

"And then came the Third Great Ninja War, where the Kura clan finally decided to make their appearance, turning the tides of battle." Terios continued once again. "However, once word had spread about what they had done throughout the years, the other nations decided to hunt them down and kill them without any mercy, forcing them into hiding once more. Of course after the war ended that was when our generation was born."

The vision disappeared and they were back into the purple space.

"And what about you?" Naruto asked, causing Terios' eyes to become blank.

"Me? Well, after I was born, my life was pretty much hell." The dark demi-god said. "I was born with a weak body and I get easily sick. Yet despite knowing that, my bastard father, the clan head at the time, trained me non-stop so I could lead the clan to greatness once again. No matter how much I pleaded or cried, he didn't stop. If anything, it would be counted as abuse."

Naruto gasped in shock from hearing that.

"The rest of the clan didn't do anything to stop him because they feared him and his great power despite how weak his body was getting. The only person who would ever stand up to him was my mother." Terios gave a small smile as he remembered her.

"Your mom?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. To me, my mother was my light. Whenever that bastard tried to hurt me or take it too far, she would immediately step in to stop him without fear, even just to fight him to get him to leave me alone." Terios said, his smile growing gentle as he remembered the fond memories of her. "She was always there for me when I needed her the most and I would've done anything I could to protect her from my father."

"Then why didn't you two just leave?" Naruto asked, feeling curious about that as he got too into Terios' story.

"We were going too..." Terios lost his smile and had a cold look on his face. "Until that bastard found out about it from my grandfather, who was listening to us. They took us and had us locked in cages for days with no food or water. When my father and the clan finally came, they took my mother while my father took me, telling me that this would be my punishment for trying to escape."

Naruto's eyes widened as he found himself trembling slightly in anger from hearing such a sad story. "What did he do to you two?"

"...He used my mother as one of the sacrifices to perform the ritual on himself, and I was there being forced to watch it happen." Terios answered coldly, an angry glare on his face. "After the ritual was finished, my father and the clan kicked me out, leaving me to die all alone. I would've too if not for my Master."

"Master?"

"Yes. After he found me in the woods, he took me in, fixed me up and taught me much while all I could think about was getting revenge on the entire Kura clan for what they did. He was also the one who told me of the Cycle of Hatred that plagues our world and how he and his secret organization plans to do something about it. I never really questioned him about it, mainly because I didn't care. It wasn't until not too long ago when I left my master to pursue my journey where I met an Oracle."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. "You mean those people that can see into the future?"

Terios shook his head. "Close, but no. They tell you about a prophecy that has yet to come. The oracle I met told me that I would go to an island to meet a god and inherit its power while also meeting a boy who's like me." Naruto gasped in surprise. "She said that the two of us will battle each other and that whoever wins shall decide the fate of this world. One will prevail and the other will fall. You already know what happened after that."

"..." Naruto remained silent from that as he glared at Terios for that reminder.

"Now, for your question. The reason is simple." Terios said. "I wanted you to see the harsh state of this world."

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, completely confused.

"Oh come on. You said it yourself, 'it's messed up'." Terios reminded him before giving him a cold glare. "While everyone in this world is suffering from their own different kinds of hell, what exactly have you been doing? You've been staying on a flying island completely far away from civilization, by yourself, and living a wonderful happy life while protecting a bunch of powerful rocks that no one in this world doesn't know exist!"

"...!" Naruto's eyes widened as Terios continued on, getting more angry.

"Everybody everywhere is suffering from a lot of things; wars, slavery, abuse, rape! So many terrible acts in this world that give birth to hatred and pain. Those who fall victim to the hatred will end up getting revenge on those who wronged them in the past but what then?! Soon, that revenge will consume you and you will end up hating the world to the point where you want to destroy it!"

Memories of seeing the Knuckles Clan attack the altar and Chaos killing them in retaliation flashes through Naruto's mind.

"Yet you, you've been living on an island enjoying your peaceful life while everyone else is suffering right below you and you didn't give a damn!" Terios' glare became harsher, even growing darker. "Some guardian you are."

"Shut the hell up!" Naruto yelled angrily, feeling offended by what he said as his eyes glowed an intense emerald green. His fists were clenched tightly yet no blood was dripping. "You have no idea what you're saying! It's not just the emeralds I'm protecting! There are innocent creatures that survived the destruction of Chaos' world and monsters from this world have been coming to my island trying to take over it and kill them! I swore to Chaos that I would protect the island, it's creatures and the emeralds from anyone or anything that could harm them!"

"Oh, really?" Terios asked sarcastically. "And you've been away from your island for how many days now? How do you even know there's not a monster attacking it now or trying to snatch your Master Emerald?"

"That's none of your concern." Naruto growled, his voice deepened slightly, much to Terios' slight amusement as he shrugged uncaringly at him.

"Hmph. We're getting off topic anyway." The dark teen said. "After I left the island, I immediately went back to the Land of Demons, where the Kura clan had been secretly hiding out. Do you wanna know what I did?"

Naruto's glowing eyes narrowed. "...what?" He began to feel a little unease at the dark insane-like grin that appeared on Terios' face.

"I hunted and killed every single member of the Kura clan that spreaded throughout the country!" The last Kura member exclaimed, shocking Naruto.

The space around them rippled and distorted, changing to show Terios in his Order form as he slaughtered every single Kura clan member that was in his sight, even those that tried to run away from him. It was clear to Naruto that Terios wasn't going to spare any of them alive, not a single man, woman or even child was spared.

"You will not believe how scared they were when they saw me again after so long. They acted as though I was a ghost that came back to haunt them!" Terios said, looking at them with a somewhat insane expression. "I made sure to hunt each and every one of them down like the wild dogs that they were!"

The scene changed again, this time showing them inside a temple. The temple looked like it went through a great battle as it was caught on fire and there were dead bodies around. The vision version of Terios was standing in front of a man that looked like an older mature version of him except he had a full beard, he looked sickly pale and his kimono were ripped to shreds with blood leaking from his cuts.

The man was looking up at the vision Terios with terror filled eyes and looked like he was pleading to him. The other Terios simply looked down at him coldly and in disgust. He then went on to attack the older man, brutally punching his face, which made blood splatter around the room and caused Naruto to flinch.

"I saved my father for last." Terios said. "I wanted him to suffer for what he did to me all those years ago and to my mother. I tortured him non-stop until I finally broke him. Once I was done with him, I left and started my training, waiting for you to get done with the Chaos Warriors. Now that you've dealt with them, here I am."

"And where exactly are you right now?" Naruto questioned once more. He then noticed the space around them starting to become distorted once again and he found himself starting to wake up. He looked up at Terios and saw his grin.

"Don't worry, you'll know in just a bit."

Real World

Naruto woke up with a startled gasp. He took deep calming breaths and looked around the room, seeing that he was inside one of the rooms of the apartment lying down on one of the beds. The moon's light lit up the room, allowing him to see that Ethan and Omochao were sleeping on the other bed with Zane sleeping on a comfy looking chair that has a foot rest.

The guardian sighed softly, giving his friends a gentle smile before a frown found its way on his face, recalling his meeting with Terios. He didn't like the way he said that last bit. From the way he said it, it sounded like they were going to meet very soon and with how late it is outside, he wants it to only be just them.

"Fine by me." The guardian whispered to himself, a determined scowl present on his face. If Terios wanted him to come alone then that's what's going to happen. He got off the bed and walked out of the room, closing the door softly so that he wouldn't wake them, never noticing one of Zane's eyes opening slightly.

Naruto stood in the hallway, getting ready to check on the girls but was forced to do a double take as he looked into the living room to see B passed out on the couch with a blanket on him along with notes that had lyrics scattered on the floor. The guardian also saw his PAD sitting on the table which is more than likely dead due to B listening to his music. He was also mumbling raps in his sleep.

The former Namikaze gave B a flat gaze but then shook his head and let out an amused chuckle. He raised a finger and created a small energy ball, firing it at the PAD as it vanished. He blew his finger as though it was a gun and walked to the girls' room, slightly opening the door to see them both sleeping peacefully with Felicia in her cat form. He smiled at them as he closed the door softly, not seeing Felicia's ear twitching or Kia opening up one eye as she watched him leave.

The guardian demigod stood outside on the apartment's roof, looking at the crescent moon. He closed his eyes and the six Chaos Emeralds appeared circling around him. He looked at the emeralds with a smile.

"Hehe! This has been one wild adventure. I bet Sonic would definitely be jealous." Naruto said. This journey was definitely crazy. They beat the Chaos Warriors, fought against ninjas and jinchuriki, saw more of the shinobi nations and even made some friends.

All in all, it was incredibly fun.

But they were also exposed to the dark side of the nations. If he were honest with himself, Naruto expected something like this. After all, certain comics, tv shows and movies from Chaos' world shows how ninjas are and the world they live in, which was pretty dark with some even being light-hearted for young children.

But in this shinobi world, the real world, it's completely darker. They found a child out in the desert who was experimented on by an evil bastard who seeks immortality, a jinchuriki who was truly hated and feared by everyone in the village, including his own family and became an emotionless unstable weapon, a catgirl who was being chased away and/or attacked by everyone around because they thought she was a monster and a now extinct clan who sacrificed people just to require a power that's impossible to get.

"What makes it worse…" Naruto thought solemnly, his head lowering in shame. "...is that stuff like this is happening all over the continent, maybe even across the whole world." He bit his lower lip in anger as Terios' words kept replaying in his head, about how he was enjoying a peaceful life on Angel Island while the people down below were suffering.

Despite giving a good enough reason for why he didn't help anyone down below, except for those who were in danger out at sea, deep down in his heart he knew Terios was right and it made him feel ashamed of himself.

How the hell can he enjoy living a peaceful life on his island when there are other people who are suffering in others due to discrimination and various other things?

"Naruto?"

Naruto jumped in fright and gave a startled scream from hearing the voice coming from behind him. He looked back to see Kia, Zane, Omochao and Felicia all wide awake. "Oh! Uh, hey guys." He greeted them while also showing them a smile to hide his mood. "What are you doing up so late?"

"We should be asking you that." Kia said, walking up to him with a worried frown.

"Yeah." Omochao agreed, flying next to Naruto's head. "It's 5:40 in the morning and you're out here by yourself."

"Are you okay Naruto?" Felicia asked in concern. "We were worried when you suddenly fell unconscious."

Naruto's smile twitched a little bit but before it vanished and was replaced with a frown as he looked away from them a little bit. He took a deep breath, looking back at them and told them about the meeting between him and Terios. He left nothing out in the conversation and nobody didn't bother to stop him to ask questions as they listened. Once he was finished, they all looked shocked and horrified.

"I...I don't believe it. He really went through all that?" Felicia asked in a whispered voice with Naruto nodding his head at her.

"That's awful!" Omochao exclaimed. "His own mother was used as a sacrifice and nobody in his clan cared?"

"Yeah. The reason why he wanted power was to get his revenge on his father and the whole clan before he died." Naruto replied. "He met an oracle along the way and she basically told him about Kia's island, Order and me."

Zane closed his eyes. "I see. So that's how he knew about Twilight Island. This oracle must've shown him the location and he headed straight there to find Order and inherit his powers. He probably wasn't expecting to see the Chaos Warriors there."

Naruto nodded and was about to say something else until he noticed something. Kia remained silent throughout the whole story telling. He looked towards her only to see her looking down with her eyes being shadowed by her hair.

"Kia? Are you okay?"

Kia remained silent for a second before shaking her head at his question. "What's wrong with this world?" The island princess asked, mostly to herself. "Why does the shinobi system even exist?"

Nobody had the answer to that question as they themselves don't know.

"It just doesn't make sense." Kia continued. "The Sage of Six Paths gave people chakra for one reason only; to help us understand one another and lead the world into peace. But somewhere down the line someone weaponized it and used it as weapons of war!"

Now everyone looked at her with frowns on their faces.

"When we started this journey, we learned a lot of things about the shinobi world. Some were good but the rest were mostly bad. I always knew it would be harsh and cruel, but this...this is just too much!" Kia exclaimed angrily. She grit her teeth in frustration at the whole subject. "How does any of this live up to the Sage's legacy of finding peace? How can we live in a world where children, younger than us, are being trained to kill and fight in wars only for them to die in it!?"

Nobody had an answer to her question, each of them going through different thoughts.

To Felicia, in a way, this world was quite similar to the human world where she was originally raised in. Of course there were a lot of differences, one of them being the fact that the people of her former human world were aware of darkstalkers' existence and they both feared and hated them. The humans of that world also hired Darkhunters, those who hunt darkstalkers like her since, according to them, they were of high value in terms of materials which can be used for biological weapons or scientific research.

Just thinking about it made her feel disappointed at the humans of her former world. Despite the negative reception she got when she first arrived here, here she is years later finally out of her cat form in front of people who accepted her for who she is, not caring at all about what she is.

Omochao thought about his old world as well. While true his former home wasn't perfect either, it was mainly due to Dr. Eggman and his empire or some other powerful threat trying to either take over or destroy the world. Gosh, even the Space Colony Ark incident should be used as an example as well.

Zane glared at the ground, knowing full well that Kia is right by what she said and he agreed with her completely. Even though he doesn't remember his past, he does know full well that this world is at the point where it's close to destroying itself. From the history books he read during the party, there was a Third Great Ninja War that happened thirteen years ago. He knew that if one nation were to infiltrate and attack the other then war would immediately break out.

Elder Chiyo was even right about the Cloud Village. They did some pretty shady stuff because of their paranoia that the other villages could have the upper hand in case the violence resumed. This has been happening during the time of the first peace treaty and they never honored it. He even heard about A, the current Fourth Raikage, had sent someone to Naruto's former home a couple years ago to kidnap a young girl who had a special dojutsu called a Byakugan before they got killed by a member of that clan. In retaliation, the village tried to get the body of that member so they could study the Byakugan by threatening them with war. It worked but not in the way they expected and they got rid of the corpse.

To Zane, this only showed him how low shinobi villages would go in order to amass power, by not only stealing secrets or kidnapping shinobi from other villages but also using war as a threat.

Meanwhile, Naruto didn't really think all that much since he's been thinking about it since he woke up. He was about to say something but then his eyes suddenly widened in alarm. His head snapped up, looking towards Kia who had the same expression on her face. They both looked in the same direction which brought looks from the others.

"What's the matter?" Zane asked.

"The last emerald." Kia answered, her eyes narrowed. "It's coming from that direction."

"You mean…" Omochao trailed off, looking at Naruto and saw the glare on his face.

"Terios." The guardian replied, looking very serious. He reached into his pocket and tossed Kia the bag of Warp Rings, making her and the others look at him in confusion. He didn't face them and continued looking ahead. "Grab Ethan and head back to Angel Island. I'll settle this."

"Not without us." Kia told him, making him look back at her. "We're coming with you."

"Kia, this is-"

"This is personal for me too!" Kia stopped him, giving Naruto a stern glare which made him flinch back in surprise. "He came to my island, released Order and the Chaos Warriors, attacked my home and killed nearly everyone I knew, including almost killing my father! No matter what happened to him in his past or his reasons for it, there is no excuse! I won't let him get away with what he did! So you're taking us with you whether you like it or not."

"Kia."

"What's more we're a team. You can't fight him alone without knowing how strong he became." Zane added in. "We started this journey together, so we're gonna end it together."

"Zane."

"Count me in too!" Felicia said, pounding her fist with her palm, a determined grin on her face. "I don't know this guy, but he sounds like a very bad guy who hurt my friends! Anybody who hurts my friends, I'll use them as scratching posts nya!"

"Felicia."

"You know I'm with ya!" Omochao said, a determined grin on his face as well. "There's some features on this body I haven't really bothered to try out yet and I wanna test them out!"

"Omochao."

Naruto looked at his friends with a stunned expression on his face, his lips trembling slightly. He felt extremely touched how they were willing to go with him to take care of Terios. Back on the island, he fought various monsters all by himself in order to protect his loved ones from them.

The first time he actually fought a monster, he was still trying to control his powers and he froze up in fear from discovering it after he wandered through the forest. That small moment caused the monster to attack him with him fleeing away in fright, forgetting that he now had powers. It wasn't long before some of the Chao came to his aid to save him and try to fight the monster...but at the cost of their own lives.

That horrifying day forever changed him. After he killed that monster in an angry frenzy, he cried himself in despair because failed to keep his promise to Chaos to protect his home and family. Once he finished crying with everyone trying to cheer him up, he used a kunai he took from the Fourth's house and stabbed his hand.

He made an oath that day. That no matter what enemy he's facing, be they monsters, humans or anything else, he will never back down or run away from them. He will face them head on and win, no matter what!

Naruto suddenly punched himself in the face, making everyone look comically shocked. They were right. They were his friends dammit! They were a team! He wouldn't be here without them! So why the hell was he thinking he could handle Terios by himself just because he's finally whole?

The guardian removed his fist from his face, looking at his friends with a happy grin. "Yeah! You guys are right! We're all in this together. We've been through a lot during this adventure and now it's almost over, so let's finish it off with a bang!"

"Yeah!" Kia, Omochao and Felicia replied happily.

"Affirmative." Zane smirked.

"U-Um…" A shy voice spoke up, making everyone look surprised. They turned their attention to the voice and saw Ethan standing there, looking timid yet firm. "I...I wanna come too!"

His response surprised them. Kia smiled gently at him as she walked up to Ethan, kneeling to his height and rubbing his head softly.

"You can't come with us this time Ethan." The reincarnated princess said. "Where we're going is too dangerous for you."

"I…I know." Ethan said softly, grabbing his demon-like arm and gripping it. "And...I'm really scared. But...you all saved me. You were nice to me, you accepted me, you even let me be a part of your family. And I…" He closed his eyes and trembled as he remembered the nurse. "I…" He looked up at them, showing them his scared yet determined expression. "I don't want to lose any of you! S-So I'm going with you!"

The group looked stunned by what Ethan said and the determination he was showing despite being scared. Kia looked conflicted, along with Felicia. While she admits that she was caught off guard by seeing Ethan's mysterious power the other day, she knew that he was unaware. He immediately proved it during their meeting with the Raikage when she heard him mutter 'It happened again' which further increased her anger towards Orochimaru for making him go through all that.

The island princess looked towards Naruto, who immediately noticed it which made him sigh before he smiled warmly at Ethan.

"Do you think you can handle it, kiddo?" He asked. "Take it from me, this guy we're gonna fight is mighty strong."

"H-Hm!" Ethan nodded his head, his determined expression not leaving which made Naruto's smile widen.

"Okay, I believe you." The guardian said, trying not to pay attention to the half lidded glare Kia and Felicia were giving him. "But listen, if it becomes too much for you, then don't be scared to run away and go somewhere safe."

"O-Okay!" Ethan beams at him.

"Naruto." Omochao said, feeling worried.

"Don't worry." Naruto reassures the robochao, already knowing what he's gonna say. "I know we don't know much about Ethan's powers, but he does have some form of training at least. When this is over, we're gonna help him control it."

Kia and Felicia looked at each other with small smiles with Zane and Omochao nodding in agreement while Ethan looked happy.

"Right! Now let's go show Terios the real awesome power of teamwork!" Naruto grins with determination, which everyone shares as he raises his hand up.

"You got it!" They all said.

"Now! Chaos Control!" Naruto called out the technique as the group vanished in a flash of green light.

Unknown to them, B was hiding behind the entrance to the roof, leaning on the door with his arms crossed and he had a knowing smile on his face. Inside the seal, Gyuki also had a smile as well.

"Heh. Something tells me that this won't be the last time we see those kids."

"You bet." B said, looking up at the night sky. "Good luck y'all. We'll see each other soon."

Unfortunately unknown to B, a man in a black coat was seen watching him from a nearby roof. The man's face was shadowed by the hood he was wearing. He glanced to the side to see a crow flying away then looked back down.

"It's time." The man said before vanishing from sight.

Meanwhile

Twilight Island: The Beach

Sarabi stood on the beach, looking out in the distance with a serious expression on her face, not paying any mind to the strong wind that started to pick up as it moved her hair. Earlier, she was woken up by a very powerful presence. This presence was familiar to her. Almost too familiar. It only took her a couple of seconds to realize that it belonged to the boy who attacked the island.

It had been two weeks since Kia had left her island to join Naruto and Zane on their journey. Since then, they've been rebuilding what they could manage on the island such as homes, shelters and the likes. Thankfully, they still had food growing in some places so they weren't really worried about it including the drinks. Kwan has been extremely worried about Kia since she left but as the village chief of Twilight Island he had a duty towards his people and community to help rebuild what was lost. Nala was worried herself, but not so much as Kwan was as she had faith in her and the others.

Kia's friends were also worried as well, all of them talking about and wondering what Kia and the others might be doing. They were coming up with some wild crazy theories but all were the same; fighting against strong shinobi, them beating the Chaos Warriors and an even crazier theory about them meeting a tailed beast.

Sarabi shook her head in amusement before her eyes widened for a moment then were narrowed. She looked at the sky, noticing the clouds beginning to darken and cover the night sky. There were even flashes of light. She immediately knew what this meant.

"Kia, Naruto, Zane. I hope you're prepared for the coming battle."

Land of Waves: Tazuna's House

Kushina woke up with a startle. She took deep calming breaths to calm her racing heart. She could hear the wind picking up outside as they were hitting the tiles of the roof. She took a quiet sigh and stood up from her sleeping position. She walked right up to the window and saw the dark clouds covering the sky.

She didn't know why but something about this weather felt unnatural to her. As far as she knows, the weather for this week was supposed to be good to average. There was nothing about a storm happening which is why it put her on edge.

Plus this feeling inside her heart. Her instincts...not just her ninja instincts, but her motherly instincts were screaming at her, telling her that something horrible was happening to her children, to one of them at least, and she knew exactly who it was.

"Naruto."

The Uzumaki matriarch unconsciously reached for her bracelet and held it tightly. She didn't like this. She didn't like this at all. This storm, this scared feeling in her chest. There's no doubt in her mind that this unexpected storm was an ominous sign. Something big was about to happen and Naruto and his friends were a part of it.

"Dammit! Just what the hell is happening out there?!" Kushina whispered angrily to herself. She looked up at the sky. "Naruto...wherever you are, please be careful."

Just outside the house, Hiruzen, Jiraiya and Tsunade were there looking up at the cloud covered sky, all three having focused expressions.

Hidden Leaf Village: Hokage's Mountain

Minato Namikaze stood on top of his stone head, looking up at the darkened clouds, seeing and hearing the sound of lightning cracking in the sky as the wind started to pick up, blowing his spiky hair along for the ride. His eyes narrowed and brows furrowed as he was in deep thinking.

Seeing this unexpected weather change had already told him that a huge battle was about to take place. Where exactly, he had no idea. But, unknown to him, he and Kushina had shared the same similar feeling when they both awoke to see this storm. It told him that whatever battle was about to take place, Naruto and his friends were going to take part in it.

Minato looked down at his estate, which was near the forest area, and saw the lights were on in both the upstairs floor and living room. His daughters were wide awake and he knew that they too were starting to worry about their brother. He could even feel them sending chakra to one of his markers. He sighed and looked back at the sky, feeling very anxious about what was about to happen to Naruto and his friends and silently wondered if they were going against a powerful Chaos Warrior.

"Naruto. I don't know where you and your friends are right now, but...be safe." He instantly teleports back home to ease his daughters.

Land of Demons

In a flash of blue light, Team Chaos appeared. They immediately noticed the darkened sky and strong wind that was picking up, making them cover their faces before it stopped which made them lower hands. They looked around the area they were in before looking surprised.

From the looks of it, they were in a large village but it looked like it was destroyed during a huge battle. The forest nearby was also caught in the crossfire. The trees were either destroyed or looked like it was burned, the village homes were completely destroyed, there were huge fissures and craters on the ground and it didn't help that there were dead bodies everywhere, their dried blood staining the dirt.

Of course, everyone looked unsettled by seeing the corpses. They didn't want to, but after seeing many of them during their adventure, they were starting to get used to it. Though they did hate the smell of rotting flesh and the flies that were buzzing around their rotting corpses. Ethan shook in fear at seeing this as he grabbed Naruto's pants leg, who gently rubbed his head.

"Don't worry pal. Just don't look at them." The guardian said.

"I...I'll try."

"What happened here?" Felicia asked.

Kia narrowed her eyes for a moment before they started to glow pink. She saw a vision of Terios attacking this village and killed every villager that was here or hiding. Once the vision ended, her eyes returned to their normal color, making her shake her head a little.

"Terios did this." Kia informed her friends. "This village was where the Kura clan lived."

"In other words, this is Terios' former home." Zane said. "So where is he?"

"There."

The group looked up to where Naruto was looking and saw a palace across a partly destroyed bridge. Lightning shot out from the sky and struck behind the palace, creating a loud crash and lighting up the sky for a bit, showing what the palace looked like before the light died down.

The palace was pretty big yet it looked so old, though it might be because the palace itself looked like it was attacked as the roof was gone. It also didn't help that there was also blood splattered on the building. There was also a faint purple light coming from inside the palace.

Naruto looked at his friends and nodded at them, getting nods in return. He turned back around and together everyone ran to the palace. They entered the palace, seeing the interior was even worse than outside but none of them paid it any mind.

"Terios! Come out and show yourself!" Naruto calls him out.

They heard a chuckle echoing throughout the palace, making them tense as they looked around for him. They heard the sound of something being opened and looked to the source to see a large door opening up which led into a darkened room much to their confusion.

The group went inside just as the door closed behind them. The room was suddenly lit up by rows of candles set on columns, showing what the room looked like. It was more like a huge hall where you would store various objects only there was nothing in it, except for a large arena which they walked into.

"What's this place?" Naruto asked.

"It looks like an arena or something." Kia commented, noticing there were seats everywhere.

"That's right." Everyone except Naruto jumped slightly at the voice. "This is the arena where members of the Kura clan would often fight other shinobi or each other to the death."

The team looked up to find Terios sitting crossed legged on top of a railing looking down at them with a smirk on his face. In his left hand, he was tossing the purple emerald in the air and catching it.

"And those who lost, ended up becoming sacrifices for the ritual. A perfect setting for our battle wouldn't you say Naruto?"

"Honestly? This is such a cliché setting." Naruto said. He watched one to many action movies to know that a final battle would take place in an arena of some kind.

"Hmph." Terios snorted in amusement. His eyes moved towards Kia, who was glaring at him with eyes full of righteous anger. "Well well. I see the little princess joined you on your quest along with some new faces. What? Were the Chaos Warriors too much for you that you would need their help?"

"We ran into extra trouble along the way." Naruto replied, crossing his arms and glaring up at Terios. "But yeah. They're my friends and they've been a great help to me."

"Is that so?" Terios asked, standing up on the railing. He hops off and starts to slowly descend to the arena floor. "And you brought them here, knowing full well that I could easily kill them?"

"Kill us?" Felicia asked incredulously. To her, it sounded like this kid was trying to make a joke. She fought a lot of strong people before, be they darkstalkers, superheroes and supervillains, even a powerful alien, yet she managed to come out alive. "You gotta be kidding me."

"I thought ninja were taught to never underestimate their opponents." Kia said, still holding her glare. "You sound pretty arrogant."

Terios chuckled at the comment, landing on the floor but still tossing the emeralds. "True. But let's just say I went through changes during my rat extermination."

"You mean the slaughter of your whole clan?" Zane asked with narrowed eyes.

"Ah, so you told them about our meeting." Terios said, looking at Naruto, who looked uncaring.

"Yeah. I never keep secrets to those I'm close with."

"I see. In that case, there's no need for me to retell the story." Terios stated, shaking his head. "After all, it's really bothersome having to tell it once more."

"Are you proud of yourself?" Kia asked angrily, getting Terios' attention. "Are you really proud of yourself for all the terrible things you did just to get your revenge?"

"'Terrible things', you say?" The last Kura clan member asked in a low tone. "And what terrible things have I done?"

Kia growled and clenched her fists. "Are you serious? You and the Chaos Warriors attacked my home and nearly killed all of my people! If it weren't for Naruto healing him, my father would've been dead by now!"

"Please. If Naruto told you my story, then that means you know about the oracle." Terios said. "She knew that I would arrive on your island to meet Order, then that means she knew that your island would be attacked anyway." He grinned darkly at Kia. "If anything you should be grateful that Naruto showed up when he did, otherwise the Chaos Warriors would've obliterated the whole island."

Everyone's eyes widened by what he said though Kia's eyes widened in anger as her irises began to glow an intense blue. Naruto's eyes were glowing an emerald green and he had a snarl on his face.

"You mean you would've let them!" The guardian growls with Terios scoffing.

"I told you before, I had no use for them. They simply wanted to have their revenge against the island for sealing them away, especially against the Sage's son who beat them, so I just let them be." Terios said, his dark grin returning once more. "Though I'll be honest, if you hadn't shown up I would've destroyed the island myself and let the princess be it's only survivor. Think of that as punishment for running late."

That was not the correct response as Terios felt multiple killing intent rising from the group which unfazed him. Kia's eyes shrunk in absolute rage as she had a wild blue aura around her, Zane had a red aura covering him as he stared in cold anger at Terios, Felicia hissed in anger as she let her claws out and lastly Naruto's whole body was enveloped in blue aura. Omochao surprisingly enough was growling at Terios and Ethan was trembling in anger.

"Just one thing before we settle this." Naruto said calmly. A little too calmly. "What do you plan to do with the Chaos Emeralds?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Terios asked back as he stopped tossing the emerald and made it vanish. "One will win to decide the fate of this world while the other shall fall. Me, the god of destruction, versus you, the guardian god. In other words, once I kill you and have the power of the seven emeralds, I'm going to use them to destroy this damn world along with your precious Master Emerald and island!"

Naruto grit his teeth in rage, making them turn into fangs. "You're crazy! Not a chance!" He yells in anger as he transforms into his Chaos form. He made a mad dash towards Terios who quickly disappeared. "What!?" He turned back and saw Terios in front of his shocked friends, his hand outstretched to them.

"Stay out of this." The last Kura blasted them out through the door using a jet of water. Once they were out, his shadow enlarged itself and was split into four as they charged at the group.

"Naruto!" Kia called out as she ran to the door, only to stop in shock as four monstrous versions of the original Order appeared in front of her, blocking her from entering just as the door closed on them.

"Guys!" Naruto calls out before he glares angrily at Terios, who slowly turns to him with his eyes glowing dark violet.

"Now, it's just you and me." Terios said as he fully transformed into his Order form, revealing a whole new appearance. Unlike the similar body he shared with Naruto, his form now had reptilian-esque skin and scales, his eyes had black slits and he had violet colored fangs.

Naruto growled slowly. As much as he wanted to help his friends out, he knew they could take care of themselves. Plus, now that it's just him and Terios in here, he doesn't have to worry about holding back. He cracked his knuckles in anticipation. "Fine by me. Let's dance!"

The two charged at each other, fists pulled back. Once they connected with each other, a great force erupted from them as it shook the room they were in and almost blew the candles out. In the next second, they were on the move again, both of them not holding back.

The battle of gods has officially begun.

Chaos 11: The Final Round! A Super Showdown!

Chapter Cover: Naruto had his eyes closed and arms out with the Chaos Emeralds and water circling around him as Chaos' spirit overlapped him. Below him, his friends were looking on in awe. In the background were Terios' glowing dark violet eyes glaring at the readers. In the background was a silhouette of a giant roaring monster.

Insert Fighting Music: For True Story (Remix) [Sonic Generations]

While Naruto and Terios were busy with their fight in the arena, the rest of Team Chaos were busy fighting their own separate clones of Order in the large room. Kia was jumping from pillar to pillar to avoid the energy blasts from the Order she was fighting. Zane was in his E-123 Armor and was firing energy bullets at his Order clone as it avoided them. Felicia was swiping her claws at her Order clone but it was blocking her attacks. The last Order was walking menacingly towards Ethan, who kept backing away from it with Omochao attacking him even though the clone remained unfazed by it.

"Tch! These things are annoying!" Kia said, grinding her teeth as she slid on the floor. She flinched in surprise when Monster Order appeared in front of her, it's large claws getting ready to swipe her face off. She quickly moved to the side and avoided it.

She sent a combo attack of punches towards the Monster Order and pushed it back. Once the clone got it's bearings, it looked up in time as Kia spun towards it and sent a powerful kick to its head, sending it crashing into a wall. But much to her annoyance, it didn't disperse.

"Yeah! I've been trying to attack this thing's brain but it keeps blocking me." Felicia exclaimed, backing away from the clone she was fighting as spikes erupted from its body. Once the spikes disappeared, she rolled into a ball charged at it, knocking it into a wall that had a spike on it. She pouts when it doesn't get destroyed and gets back up. "And when it gets struck by something pointy, it doesn't die!"

"It's definitely different from when we fought Agni's clones or Gaiaon's monsters." Zane said, blocking the claw fingers from his Monster Order. He went in for a devastating punch when he saw an opening and sent it towards a pillar. "They must have a different kind of weakness."

"Whatever it is, we better find it quick and help Naruto!" Omochao said as Ethan backed away from his Monster Order's ferocious swipes before it stretched his arms to grab him.

The youngest member then jumped on his Monster Order's now outstretched limbs. He knees it in the head, knocking it back as he flips over it. Omochao came charging in, performing a spin attack and comically knocked it's head further back which made it snarl in annoyance at the two.

"I hope he's okay." Ethan said, worried about his big brother.

"Don't worry." Kia smiled in reassurance as she grabbed her Order's arms and slammed it on the floor, releasing her hold on it and kicking it away. She glanced at the door and could practically hear the battle taking place inside making her smile turn into a smirk. "Knowing him, Naruto's causing chaos in there."

Cling!

Cling!

Cling!

That was the sound of two weapons clashing against each other. Naruto with Perfect Zero: Trident Mode in hand facing off against Terios' own katana. The katana was completely black save for the sharp edge being red. It also has a white flame-like design on the blade.

"Heh! Not bad Naruto!" Terios grins in satisfaction. "I see that you've definitely gotten stronger now that you're whole! And that weapon of yours is pretty impressive!"

"Yeah? Well I got more surprises for ya!" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes turning an electric blue as he turned into his Zenon form along with Perfect Zero changing into Static Charge. The burst of electricity Naruto unleashed pushed the stunned Terios back.

Looking on with a surprised expression, Terios examined Naruto's current form that somewhat bore a resemblance to Zenon. It would seem that after Naruto beat the Chaos Warriors and absorbed them, he may have also inherited their unique elemental forms along with their weapons. A low chuckle escaped his lips before it turned into a full blown laughter.

Naruto narrowed his eyes on the Kura heir. "What's so funny?"

"This!" Terios continued laughing, emphasizing Naruto's current form. "I wasn't expecting you to change into different forms after absorbing the Chaos Warriors. You really are something special aren't you?"

"Not the first one who said that." Naruto thought to himself, remembering that Kia's grandma said that about him

"Well, not only are you whole…" Terios cracked his neck in anticipation. "But you can also change forms as well. So I guess that means I can stop holding back!" His eyes glowed an intense violet purple as he let out a yell and unleashed a powerful purple aura of negative chaos energy.

The aura caused a strong gust of wind to blow in the room as the hanging lanterns were moving wildly. There was also lightning coming out of the aura and was striking every time it landed on something. But Naruto didn't deter in the slightest. He let loose his own aura as well and it clashed with Terios'. He held his ground and looked at his opponent with a narrowed gazed, all the more determined to take down and he will not waste any time doing it.

Electricity danced off his body as he took a ready stance, his eyes glaring into Terios' own.

With the two of them no longer holding back, it became an all out battle. The arena they were in was getting destroyed as they attacked one another. Most of the pillars were getting scratched or destroyed and the walls were getting blasted by the energy attacks they were unleashing at each other. In fact, it got so crazy, the mysterious onlooker had to duck from his hiding spot to avoid a Chaos Arrow created by Naruto, all the while holding his glowing crystal ball out in the open.

As the two battle while crossing their weapons against each other, Terios was taking his time observing Naruto. To him, Naruto has truly gotten stronger now that he absorbed his remaining power. While they were fighting, he kept on changing between elemental forms and weaponry on the fly as he kept his combos going. Naruto was truly dead set on wanting to take him down, but sadly for him he won't let that happen.

He will win.

Naruto, now in his Frost form, narrowed his eyes when Terios backed away and took a stance with his sword gathering an eerie violet chaos energy. He was about to charge in but stopped in shock when clones of demonic-like Order suddenly came out.

"The hell!?"

The Order clones quickly charged at Naruto, who already got over his surprise and got ready. One of the clones tried to swipe him with its claw, but he jumped over it and stabbed it, turning it into purple smoke. He turns to the other coming clones and twirls his scythe as he sliced right through them, turning them all into purple smoke.

Feeling as though he gathered enough chaos energy to his katana and thanks to his clones distracting Naruto, Terios began his attack.

"Dark Chaos Torrent!" He swiped his sword to the side and created a giant wave of energy that destroyed the pillars.

Naruto turned his head to see the giant wave of energy coming at him with widened eyes. "Whoa!" He immediately changed into his Gaia form, transforming Rising Terra into a shield and held it out in front of him.

Once the energy wave makes contact with the shield, a large green energy shield is seen covering Rising Terra. The guardian himself stood strong and took the force of the attack even though it was pushing him back a little bit. Naruto let out a roar as he pushed his shield upwards and sent the spinning energy wave crashing through the roof making a large hole as it flew towards the sky and disappeared.

The guardian of Angel Island looked up at the giant hole to see the clouds had darkened and that it's pouring down rain. He quickly turned around and used his shield to block Terios' sword. He backed away from Terios but his counterpart continued to strike him relentlessly while Naruto still kept blocking.

As Terios continued to strike Naruto, he saw his form flashing back to his Chaos form and it made him inwardly grin. He knew that Naruto's other forms had to have a time limit and it looks like he was right. His time is starting to run out.

"Now!" The last member of the Kura Clan lands a heavy attack on Naruto, knocking his shield in the air. The shield disappeared, causing Naruto to return into his Chaos form. He gathered purple fire-like energy in his hand and sent an energy ball at Naruto.

The guardian turned into a puddle of water and avoided the attack. A hand came out and grabbed Terios' outstretched wrist, pulling him forward towards it; just as another fist came out and punched him in the chin, sending him upwards.

Naruto came out of the puddle and grabbed Terios' legs, spinning around in place. While doing this, his arms stretched out further making Terios crash through the pillars and walls causing him to drop his sword. He then threw him up and out of the hole before using Chaos Control to teleport to where Terios was.

The moment he appeared behind Terios in the sky, the rogue shinobi quickly turned around to face him and both clashed their fists against each other which ironically caused a lightning bolt to strike the sky and a loud boom to be heard. It wasn't long before the two of them then began to free fall back to the arena. As this happened, the two of them went into hand-to-hand combat in the air. Both sides landed a few blows against each other while also avoiding or blocking their punches and kicks.

The two of them soon grabbed each other and started to spin around in place, trying to slam one another to the arena floor as they entered the hole. Terios then kicked Naruto off of him and both landed on the arena making a cloud of dirt rise from where they landed.

Inside the two clouds of dirt, glowing lights can be seen, one being blue mixed with green, yellow, red, white and cyan with the other being violet.

Naruto and Terios dashed out of the clouds of dirt and jumped in the air, both of their fists coated in energy from the Chaos Emeralds they had. They both let out roars as their fists clashed against each other which made a burst of energy erupt as they tried to push one another back. They let out another yell as they began to gather more energy from their emeralds and were surrounded by their colored energies.

BOOM!

Music End

A loud explosion erupted from their clashing fists as it pushed the two back, knocking all of the emeralds out of their bodies and knocking both of them into opposite directions. Terios ended up going through a wall and Naruto ended up going through the large doors, knocking them off their hinges and soaring across the room, which caught his friends and the Order clones attention. He slid across the floor and ended up hitting a pillar, causing him to transform back to normal.

"Naruto!" Everyone called out. They quickly knocked away their Order clones and ran to Naruto, not caring that they vanished into purple smoke. They helped him get back up.

"Are you okay?" Kia asked worriedly.

"I'm cool." Naruto replied, rubbing his head.

"What happened?" Ethan asked.

"Me and Terios knocked each other out of the…" Naruto stopped talking as he noticed something was wrong. Very wrong. He touched all over his body, ignoring the looks he was receiving and stopped, eyes widened in alarm. "No! The Chaos Emeralds!"

Naruto quickly ran off to the arena, the others following after him with Kia looking quite scared. They went to the now damaged arena room and stopped in shock from what they saw. Terios, out of his Order form, was floating in the air, his back turned to everyone with all seven emeralds circling around him.

"Finally. All seven emeralds are together." Terios said, turning around to face them and grinned darkly at Naruto. "Get ready Naruto, because everyone and everything you know is coming to an end. I hope you and your friends are prepared for it. If not..."

The Chaos Emeralds began to circle around him really fast as they started glowing in a dark manner which made the hairs on the back of everyone's neck stand, especially Naruto and Kia as they could sense Terios was draining the emeralds of their energies and was beginning to transform.

"NO!" The two leapt towards Terios, whose facial features were now demonic-like.

"TOO BAD!"

A massive chaotic burst of energy erupted from Terios and blew everyone out of the room. It wasn't long until a large pillar of purple light erupted from within the room, destroying the temple's roof and shooting out towards the sky as lightning bolts crackled across the sky.

The power was so great that it caused a powerful devastating earthquake throughout the entire Shinobi Continent with the ocean and the very wind itself going on a rampage. This incredible foreign power was even felt by every living creature across the planet, from humans to the smallest of animals and any other species that exist, including the sealed tailed beasts.

"This power…!" Naruto said, grounding his teeth together. He looked at the purple pillar and noticed that it was starting to expand. He looked back towards his friends, seeing them starting to get back on their feet. He quickly ran to them and used his water tendrils to touch them, only to warp themselves out of the mansion and into the village.

"What the heck is going on!?" Felicia asked, looking up at the dark purple pillar with fear in her eyes.

Zane, who was out of his armor, had an alarmed expression on his face as he looked up at the pillar. Kia stares in wide-eyed horror as she hugs the trembling Ethan close to her, with him hugging her and hiding his face in her chest away from the scary scene in front of him. Omochao looked downright terrified. As for Naruto, he just looked at the pillar with eyes so wide in shock, his pupils shrunk.

"Terios…" The guardian started. "He's...transforming...into his super state."

It wasn't long before the pillar had vanished and the earthquake had stopped but the thunderstorm and rain was still going.

Team Chaos was silent and remained frozen. Each and every one of them were too shocked to try and move. They looked towards the sky and didn't see Terios, only the giant hole in the cloud that was caused by the pillar before it ended up being closed. They heard an incredibly loud rumble coming from the temple, making them look back at it. Another rumble was heard and it made everyone tense up.

CRASH!

A very large black clawed hand came out of the temple and grabbed onto one of the large rock pillars that was next to the temple. The other hand came out and grabbed onto another large rock pillar. The rest of the body came out of the temple, destroying it in the process while at the same revealing the...the monster that Terios transformed into.

It was several stories tall, even taller than Shukaku and possibly all other tailed beasts. Its main body was human shaped, though it only had two arms with two more smaller arms, and a face that resembled a demonic beast with flaps hanging from its head and two large dark violet horns poking out. It's head, main arms, back and sides are covered in black reptilian skin with glowing purple cracks on them along with sharp dorsal plates that were protruding from the skin. The plates themselves were glowing with negative chaos energy. The rest of its body is solid purple liquid. It possesses a large mouth with glowing purple razor sharp teeth.

"Oh...my god…" Felicia whispered, trembling all the while as a new feeling of fear washed over her. Her instincts were yelling at her, telling her to run away from this all powerful and dangerous threat, which had never happened before!

Hell, she never even met a darkstalker that could change into something as large as that, and Terios was only human! Was this large-scale transformation really happened because of those seven emeralds? He looked like one of those Kaiju from those old japanese movies she used to watch back on her earth!

"Is that...really Terios?" Zane asked, looking at the titanic beast with a shocked expression.

Ethan was whimpering very loudly as he hugged Kia tighter, not wanting to let her go and not daring to look at the giant scary monster. The island princess herself was holding onto the scared boy just as tight.

"Yes." Kia replied to Zane's question. "Power enriched by the heart." She began to have flashbacks of Perfect Chaos' attacks on the Knuckles Clan and Station Square. "The Chaos Emeralds listened to Terios' heart, a heart that's full of hatred and anger, and the result is this form."

"...no." Naruto said in a low tone, which earned him looks from everyone. He clenched his fist tightly as he glared at the giant monster. "It's not just Terios' heart."

Everyone looked confused by that. But then Kia's eyes widened in realization at what Naruto meant. She looked back up at the beast.

"Order."

The giant beast let out a terrifying roar making the group cover their ears and grind their teeth in agony while at the same time it unleashed it's dark chaotic energy. The roar was so loud and powerful that it was heard throughout the whole great shinobi nations and it's dark power could be felt by everyone, shinobi and non shinobi alike.

It only shows just how truly powerful this beast was. More powerful than even all the Tailed Beasts put together to form the Ten Tails.

Once the beast was finished with its roar, Team Chaos removed their hands from their ears and looked back at the beast only to see it open its eyes, revealing them to now be reptilian-esque that were colored dark violet and had black slitted pupils. The eyes moved around for a sec before setting it's attention on Team Chaos...or more specifically at Naruto, who instantly realized that he was it's target. It let out another roar as the dorsal plates on its body began glowing very brightly before it fired off multiple energy bullets from the plates which were heading straight towards the shocked Team Chaos.

Naruto quickly raised his hands in the air. "Hang on!" He yelled out as they warped away from the area.

The energy bullets rained down on the area, completely destroying it in a blaze of small explosions. The bridge, the already destroyed village and the whole land got caught in the attack. The massive beast watched on as the explosions died down and saw that the land had been completely destroyed with deep craters all over. But there were no signs of Naruto and his friends. It let out a growl and turned to search for them or at least tried to sense Naruto's chaos energy to pinpoint their location.

Far away from it, Team Chaos was on a cliff watching it.

"WAH! Talk about a crazy attack!" Felicia exclaimed after seeing the damage that attack caused and glad they made it out. "That monster is a real menace!"

"It is." Zane said, observing the creature as it continued to search for them. "That thing has all of the Chaos Emeralds and has become a true god-like being."

"This is terrible!" Omochao said frightfully as he frantically flew around in circles. "How can we fight Terios when he's like that?!"

"W-What a-are we g-going to d-do Kia?" Ethan asked, trembling fearfully. This was the first time in his life that he ever saw something so incredibly big and powerful.

"I...I don't know." Kia admitted, looking down in sadness.

The situation they were in is similar to Perfect Chaos' attack on Station Square all those years ago. The only difference is that they weren't dealing with just a mindless beast, they were dealing with an incredibly smart beast that knew exactly what it wanted.

"We're not going to give up."

Tikal's incarnate looked surprised from Naruto's reply. She and the others turned to him and saw him standing on the edge of the cliff, his back facing them as he looked out at the monster as it was starting to get annoyed that it hadn't found them yet.

"What?" The island princess asked.

"We're not going to give up." Naruto repeated in a serious voice. He turned around to face them. "Terios...Order...whatever they are now, is a dangerous threat that only we can handle ourselves."

A loud angry roar made the group turn back and saw the monster attacking the land in anger. It fired a ball of energy at a great distance, resulting in a very loud explosion. It roared once more as it 'walked' on land to cause more destruction and no doubt look for him.

Naruto narrowed his eyes on the rampaging beast. "If we let him loose like this, he'll destroy the world. Not even the Kage nor ninja will be enough to fight them, even if they try and seal it. We need to stop him now before it's too late."

"But...but how?" Felicia asked. How on earth were they going to beat this thing?

"It's simple!" The guardian replied, turning to everyone with a smile and wink. "We're gonna get the Chaos Emeralds back!"

Everyone looked surprised at Naruto's reply. Zane raised an eyebrow at him. "And by that you mean…?" He trailed off.

Before Naruto could reply, the monster's roar had interrupted him. Everyone looked at the beast and saw all seven emeralds come out of its body. The emeralds' energy was then absorbed by the monster, making them become completely colorless before they spread out.

One of the colorless emeralds actually landed in front of Naruto's feet, making him grin as he picked it up. "Sweet!"

"W-What happened now?" Ethan asked.

"What happened is that monster just did us a huge favor." Naruto said, turning around and showing everyone the colorless Chaos Emerald, stunning them.

"Oh no!" Omochao cries. "That monster absorbed all of the emeralds' power just like Perfect Chaos did!"

"Exactly!" Naruto said, still keeping his grin. "Think about it; That monster's heart is filled with anger and hate just like Perfect Chaos, remember? That means that just like Perfect Chaos, it only absorbed the negative power of the emeralds."

Felicia, Ethan and Zane still looked a bit confused by what Naruto was saying. It was understandable as they had no idea what he was talking about. Zane only knows what the Ancients put in his head as even they didn't know the full story of Chaos nor the Chaos Emeralds. The only ones who were able to understand were Kia and Omochao as the realization hit them across the face.

"Oh! Now I get it!" Omochao said happily, earning looks from everyone present. "Since that monster absorbed all of the negative energy of the emeralds and has no need for them, all we have to do is just gather them up!"

"That way, Naruto will be able to use the emeralds' real power." Kia finished.

"Yup!" Naruto replied.

"That's...not a bad idea." Zane said with Felicia nodding in agreement. "But are you sure it can work?"

"Don't worry. It will work." Naruto said with determined conviction. He grins in a confident manner as he pounded his fist against his heart. "I know it can!"

"Yeah! Let's teach that big dumb monster a lesson!" Felicia said.

Ethan looked at everyone's smiling face at Felicia's face with a surprised expression. His big brothers and sisters were all looking really hopeful and ready to take that monster down for good. The utter despair he felt earlier when that monster appeared filled his heart with absolute fear. But now that everyone here was looking very hopeful, it made him feel hopeful as well. He looked at the giant monster continuing on it's rampage.

"Do…" Ethan spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "Do you really think we can w-win Naruto?"

Naruto smirks at Ethan and gives him a wink. "I don't think we can win. I know we can win. But I'm gonna need all the help I can get." He tossed the powerless emerald to Kia. "Kia, Felicia, Ethan, Omo, you guys go on ahead and find the rest of the emeralds. Since that monster's after me, I'll distract it. Zane, you'll help me out."

Zane nodded. "Understood."

Kia looked at Naruto, then towards the monster before turning her attention to the ground. She was feeling worried and a little anxious about Naruto using himself as a distraction and that he would want Zane to leave him to join them. This wasn't a tailed beast they were fighting against here. This was a god-like monster that could destroy the planet and kill Naruto in a single attack if it wanted to. If that were to happen then…

"Kia." Feeling a hand on her shoulder made her look to see Naruto smiling at her in reassurance. "Hey. There's no need to worry, everything will be alright."

"I know…" Kia said, looking away to hide her rosy cheeks. "It's just…" She surprised Naruto by wrapping her arms around his neck, hugging him. "Be careful!"

Just as he was about to reply, Felicia came next and hugged his side, rubbing her cheeks against his, Ethan hugged his legs, Omochao hugged his head and Zane joined his other side, arms wrapped around everyone. Now even more surprised by this, Naruto looked at everyone hugging him. His eyes watered slightly but he blinked them away.

"I will." He said with a very determined expression, making everyone smile as they let go of him. He then transformed into his Chaos Mode and summoned Perfect Zero: Trident Mode. "Now then. Let's finish this battle once and for all, so we can head back home and celebrate!"

"You got it!" Everyone said at the same time, making Naruto's smirk turn into a grin.

They've done it. They have now reached their Perfect form just like Chaos had done back in the previous world.

They were no longer Terios. But they weren't Order. Both their hearts and minds are completely one. Deep inside Terios' heart and soul, Order's deep hatred towards Chaos allowed it to keep on existing despite Terios absorbing him.

This whole time, Order has been keeping watch on the events that's been going on just letting his vessel do whatever he pleases as he gets his revenge against those who wronged him. When his vessel's revenge is complete, it would then be Order's turn to get his revenge against Chaos and Twilight Island.

That was the deal. But now, instead of just getting his revenge against Chaos, it would be better if he just joined Terios' idea of simply destroying the whole world.

Yes. That idea sounded way better. Now that they've absorbed all the energies of the Chaos Emeralds, nothing in this world will stop them. No shinobi, no jinchuriki, no tailed beast. Nothing!

Except for one person; Chaos' reincarnation, Naruto Chaos. They must find him and kill him. Only then will they, Absolute Order, shall reign supreme.

"CHAOS WIND!"

"MISSILE BARRAGE!"

Absolute Order didn't even feel the attacks that hit his back, but he did hear the voices that called them out. A devilish grin formed on his face as he glanced behind him, seeing Naruto and Zane, both in their Vayu and E-104 forms respectively, floating there.

"Hey, stupid monster!" Naruto called out. "You want me that badly? Then come and get me!"

Insert Battle Music: Supporting Me [Sonic Adventure 2]

The grin on Absolute Order's face widened at the challenge. He swiped his hand in an attempt to send them flying but they avoided it by flying upwards. The two then dashed towards Absolute Order's head where they could see a glowing organic brain inside a "fin".

"There! Try to attack the brain!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Affirmative!" Zane acknowledged.

Naruto threw Sonic Cyclone at Absolute Order which caused a gust of wind to surround it and form a mini-tornado with Zane settling in with firing missiles.

A purple energy barrier appeared around Absolute Order, deflecting Sonic Cyclone and making the missiles explode upon impact. The Perfect Monster snorts at them before roaring and firing energy shots. The duo split off and avoided them all before charging in to attack once more. Once the attacks landed, even though they knew it wouldn't do them any good, they flew away making the monster chase after them.

While Absolute Order's attention was focused on Naruto and Zane, the others were busy looking for the emeralds in the destroyed land with Omochao leading them from the front. Thanks to his new upgraded body, Omochao was able to pinpoint the exact locations of where the emeralds landed and were on their way to them.

"Ah!" Omochao let out a yell, surprising everyone. "I see them!"

Everyone looked on and saw one of the emeralds in a small crater. Looking ahead, they saw four more craters a few feet away from each other.

"Yes!" Kia cheered. She ran to the closest crater and picked up an emerald. "Hurry, grab the others!"

They went to the other craters, each of them picking an emerald. They regrouped and put the emeralds on the ground, counting them.

"Let's see, one, two...hooray!" Felicia bounced in excitement. "We got six of the emeralds!"

"We just need o-one more." Ethan said with a big smile.

"Omochao, where's the last emerald?" Kia asked the robochao, who was currently scanning the area for the last emerald but then stopped and looked at a direction.

"It's-!"

"GRAAAAAAGH!"

BOOM! CRASH!

Everyone became shocked when they heard what sounded like a loud smack and a loud whistle heading their way. They even jumped when they heard something crash landing near them. They looked at the object that crashed and were horrified.

"Zane!" Kia cried out in alarm as she and the others ran to him.

There lying in a crater was the badly damaged Zane, whose armor was completely destroyed as it vanished, showing his beaten form. He had blood over his head and even coughed some out due to how powerful Absolute Order's smack was and how he crashed landed like that. Half of his shirt was ripped and showed a new large scar on his left chest.

"Zane! Are you okay?!" Felicia asked in concern as she picked him up slightly.

Zane grit his teeth to keep himself from yelling out in pain. He opened a single eye slightly and looked at everyone. "Don't...worry about me. Where are the emeralds?"

"We're about to get the last one now!" Kia said. She was about to say something but got interrupted by Absolute Order's roar. She and the others looked back to see a charged up Naruto aggressively attacking the monster for what it did to Zane.

What's more, Kia could sense that Naruto was using an unlimited supply of chaos energy to try and buy them more time but in doing so will drain him of his stamina. She grit her teeth and turned back to the robochao.

"Omochao! Hurry and take me to that emerald! The rest of you stay here with Zane! We'll be back!"

"O-Okay!" Omochao nervously nodded his head, hurriedly taking lead towards the emerald with Kia following after him.

"B-Big brother Naruto…" Ethan trembled fearfully as he watched the battle between him and the monster.

"Don't worry Ethan. Naruto will be fine." Felicia said as she too watched the battle going on. She gently sat Zane's head back down on her lap and put her hands together in silent prayer.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Naruto roared as he ran along Absolute Order's arm in order to reach his brain.

Earlier, things were going smoothly for him and Zane. They were basically just avoiding Absolute Order's attacks while also giving the giant monster their own attacks towards it's brain. But no matter what they did, Absolute Order would knock the attacks away or create an energy barrier around itself. It was only by luck that one of Zane's homing missiles landed on the brain, making the monster screech out in pain.

Absolute Order then glared angrily at Zane before smacking him so hard he got sent flying somewhere. After seeing that happen, Naruto unleashed his full power just like he did during his battle with Gaara. He knew that it wouldn't be enough, but he still has to stall for time so the others can find the emerald. He just hopes Zane landed somewhere safe.

Now back in his Chaos form, Naruto was swiping his sword, sending waves after waves of energy towards the tentacles that were heading his way. He jumped off the arm when Absolute Order fired more energy bullets at him and saw they were following him. The guardian held his sword and blocked them, knocking them away before avoiding the others.

Naruto grinned from that but then he gave out a yell of pain as he felt an energy bullet hit his back, leaving scorch marks on his water body. He was about to move but couldn't. He then noticed his chaotic aura started to fade with him about to return to his normal form.

"Damn! Not now!" The guardian cursed at the worst possible timing as he started to fall down but then got hit back up into the air by a tentacle, making him howl in agonizing pain as he felt his back burning.

The next thing he knew, he was getting assaulted by multiple glowing razor sharp tentacles over his whole body. The sharp tentacles actually made blood come out of his body as each cut showed his human form with blood leaking out from the cuts. Throughout the assault, Naruto continued to howl in pain. This reminded him too much of when he got jumped by the Chaos Warriors back on Twilight Island almost two weeks ago, only this time he was fighting against a god-like deity powered by all of the Chaos Emeralds. He couldn't even liquefy himself to avoid them. The pain was starting to become too much for him and he ended up getting returned to his normal form.

Absolute Order finally stopped it's assault on Naruto. It didn't let him fall to the ground as it used a tentacle to grip Naruto's wrist and brought him in front of its face. The giant monstrosity watched in sadistic glee as it observed Naruto's battered trembling form, feeling satisfied for what it did to him at each cut and stab wound it landed on him. It began to laugh evilly as it's dorsal plates started to glow brightly.

Down below, the rest of Team Chaos looked on with horrified expressions. Kia had just gotten back after finding the last emerald and heard Naruto's screams. She and the others watched as the giant beast basically torture Naruto while holding him in mid-air before stopping. Their eyes widened in terror as they saw it's dorsal plates start glowing and it's mouth open up, all of them realizing what the monster was about to do.

"No…" Kia whispered, her eyes trembling. "Please...no!"

Naruto weakly opened his eyes when he felt a bright light enter his closed vision. He moved his head and saw a bright glowing purple light. The light was getting brighter and brighter. Quickly realizing what was going on and what was about to happen, Naruto quickly summoned Perfect Zero: Trident Mode in his free hand and weakly held it in front of him, all the while trying to ignore the aching pain of his body. He used what remaining chaos energy he had left and sent it to the trident, allowing it to create a double barrier that's a mixture of water and chaos energy.

Absolute Order let out a roar as it released a deadly dark violet and black beam of energy. The highly focused energy beam attacked the barrier with Naruto focusing all his power to keep it hold as he let out a yell.

The handle of Perfect Zero cracked slightly because of the sudden increase in power of the beam. It wasn't long before more cracks started to form. It immediately broke apart, stunning Naruto as he got pushed backwards due to the force of the beam. His double barrier also broke apart and he got hit by the beam.

Music End

Team Chaos watched with horrified shock as the giant beam completely consumed their friend. With tears falling from her eyes, Kia cried out his name, her voice filled with anguish, fear and worry.

"NARUTO!"

Right after Kia yelled his name, everybody who had close ties or relations to Naruto suddenly felt a feeling of despair enter their hearts. It was as though they felt something horrible had just happened to him.

Absolute Order stopped it's attack and watched with satisfaction as a smoking Naruto started falling to the ground. It let out a deep evil laugh before it grew louder and more vicious. It then let out a victorious roar. Yes...YES! He's finished! Chaos is dead! It has completed its objective! Now nothing can stop it from destroying this stupid world!

While Absolute Order was busy celebrating its 'victory', it didn't see a ring portal open in front of the falling Naruto. He fell through and was caught by Kia, who slid on the ground after catching him and gently laid him on the ground.

"Naruto!" Kia cried out his name once again before looking horrified at the state he was in.

His wild waist length hair was gone, looking as though it got burned off, and was now shoulder length. His shirt was completely obliterated, leaving him shirtless but also showing his body covered in blood with scorch marks. He also had cuts and stab wounds on certain parts of his body from the earlier assault. His pants were burned and went past his knees. His necklace also popped, with his pendant now damaged beyond repair and the colored crystals on the ground with cracks on them.

Ethan, Omochao, Felicia and Zane, who was being carried over by the shoulder by the catgirl, circled around Naruto. They looked at his state with shocked looks.

"Naruto!" Felicia called out, tears gathering in her eyes as she covered her mouth.

"Oh my chao! Naruto!" Omochao cried out, looking over at his best friend's damaged body.

"B-Big brother Naruto!" Ethan cries as tears start to fall from his eyes. He tearfully looked over Kia and saw her trembling. "Is...is he?"

Kia gasped from the question before she placed her head on his chest. She heard a heartbeat but it was starting to fade out. "No!" She said frantically as she put her hands on Naruto's chest and began to pump it. "Naruto! You have to stay awake! Naruto!"

Everyone gasped in horror from what Kia said and the tears that were falling from her eyes. They too began to feel their eyes glisten and water of the startling realization.

"You can't give up!" Kia told Naruto, still trying to keep his heart beating. "You said that earlier didn't you?! If we let that monster run loose then the world is doomed!"

"T...That's right!" Omochao choked out a sob as real tears started to appear in his eyes. "What about Angel Island? The Master Emerald and our family? You made a promise, remember? You said we would return home and celebrate after we won! How can we do that if we lose you!? Please get up Naruto!"

Zane stared at Naruto with widened eyes. He bit his lips and closed his eyes as he thought back on the day they met. "Naruto. On that day when we met, you and Kia became my very first friends. You opened your heart to us, told me that even with memories of my past gone, I wasn't alone and that I had all of you. That I would make new memories with my friends! I...I still want us all to make those new memories with you still there!"

"P-Please…Naruto." Ethan pleaded/sobbed to his older brother. "Y-You and everyone saved me back in the desert. And when you found out about me, you wanted me to be a part of your family. Y-You became my big brother and I...I don't want you to die!"

Felicia nodded in agreement, her tears falling frantically. "Naruto! You saved my life back in the Land of Snow...and when I showed you my true form back in Lightning, you weren't scared of me. You wanted to know more about me! You accepted me for both who and what I am! And I want to know more about you and go on some more adventures! Wake up you big jerk or I'll scratch you!"

Kia gave a teary smile at the encouraging words everyone was saying to Naruto. She stopped pumping his chest and looked at his somewhat bloody face, moving some hair out of the way as she hugged his head to her chest.

"You see Naruto? You got friends here waiting for you. Ever since you came into our lives, everyday has been so much fun. You saved each of us, brought us together on this incredible adventure and we formed such amazing bonds with lots of people along the way."

The island princess thought back on the two of them meeting on Twilight Island and officially greeting each other along. Soon she began to have flashbacks of them meeting Zane and the adventure they had as they met new people and made friends along the way.

"We can still do all those things together. We still want to, but not without you!" Kia continued as the tears fell from her eyes and landed on Naruto's face as she hugged his head closer. "So please, you have to wake up! Angel Island and the Master Emerald need you! The world needs you! We need you! We know you can win! We believe in you!"

Since everyone was so focused on Naruto, they didn't see the Chaos Emeralds glowing and regaining their color once more. The spark of life that was gone just moments ago had now returned, all thanks to the emotions of everyone's hearts in regards to Naruto.

"Naruto…" Kia said softly as she moved close to his ear and whispered softly even though the others could still hear her. "We love you."

Music: Hope [By: YIRUMA]

Naruto's eyes snap open, now glowing a beautiful red and sparkling like stars. He started to float up in the sky with everyone looking on in amazement and relief. The Chaos Emeralds followed after him as he stopped in mid-air and moved in an upwards position, his gaze staring at Absolute Order's retreating form.

The God of Destruction, who was already leaving at this point, stopped as he sensed something was happening. His eyes widened in shocked realization as he looked back and found himself staring at the glowing red eyes of his nemesis. It let out angry hiss. Chaos was still alive and the Chaos Emeralds had regained their power?! But how!? How was this possible!?

"Kia, what's happening to Naruto?" Felicia asked curiously, watching Naruto's still form.

"...a miracle is about to happen." Kia replied, after a moment of silence.

Team Chaos watched on as the Chaos Emeralds continued to circle around Naruto which made his shortened hair float upwards and start glowing. He closed his eyes as the emeralds stopped for a brief moment and then entered his body, making him glow white and causing a bright golden pillar of light to erupt.

Everyone, including Absolute Order, were all shocked at seeing this. Not only that, they could also feel an amazing energy literally wash over them as though they were in a shower of shorts. It felt bright and warm like the sun yet at the same time gentle and strong like water. It also gave Team Chaos a powerful feeling inside. It gave them all a sense of hope.

Hope of a bright future that's waiting for them.

In fact, as they were too busy focusing on the golden pillar, Team Chaos didn't even notice the ground began to sprout grass and flowers in a matter of seconds. Seconds later, the pillar of light resided and vanished, letting everyone see Naruto's new form. An awestruck Kia stared at it as it reminded her of a certain blue hedgehog who took on a similar form.

"Naruto…?"

It looked like he returned to his Chaos Mode, however it had gone through an incredible change. For one, his whole body is now a bright shade of yellow, making it look golden. His facial features are the same as his regular form, only he looked more aggressive with his eyes narrowed and having sharpened corners. Even though his hair got cut, it looked like it had slightly grown again, matching the fin-like protrusions of his Chaos Mode only they became upturned with his normal hair still there and upturned as well. He was surrounded by an intense gold aura displayed with faint sparkles.

"HOORAY!" Omochao cheered happily as he did a dance. "Naruto did it! He transformed into Super Naruto!"

"EEEHHH~?!" Felicia cries out in surprise. "Super Naruto!?" Her surprise was justified as she wasn't expecting that to happen nor the amazing good feelings she felt once the transformation happened. What sort of miracle was this!?

"A-Awesome!" Ethan said, equally surprised as his feline big sister.

"Amazing." Zane whispered, staring at Super Naruto's form with widened eyes. "Is this really the power of the Chaos Emeralds? But...how did they get their power back?"

"It's because of us." Kia said, getting everyone's attention. She pays it no mind as she was more focused on Super Naruto while wiping away the tears. "The Chaos Emeralds listened to us talking to Naruto and were able to regain their power."

"Really?" Felicia asked, looking quite surprised to discover this. She has absolutely no idea about these emeralds only from the bits and pieces of what she heard from her friends.

"That's right!" Omochao replied happily. "The Chaos Emeralds responded to our feelings towards Naruto and gained their power again." He looked back up at Super Naruto. "The reason why he looks like that now is because unlike that monster, who's heart is full of hate, Naruto's heart is filled with something even more powerful."

"S-Something more powerful?" Ethan asked curiously. "What is it?"

"It's love." Kia replied, remembering all of Naruto's actions throughout their journey to help those in need. "Love, kindness, caring, compassion, hope. Naruto's heart is full of these powerful feelings and the Chaos Emeralds responded to them by giving him that form. It shows how much he loves and cherishes those precious to him and how far he will go to protect them, even helping those who are in need."

Zane's eyes widened at the answer as he looked up at Super Naruto in a whole new light as a smile forms on his face. "Chaos Emeralds. They truly are worthy of the title 'Gems of Miracles'."

Kia and Omochao nodded in agreement while Ethan continued to look at his big brother with a starry eyed gaze.

Felicia stared at Kia then looked back up at Super Naruto. Love. So that's how Naruto managed to get that form. The love that Naruto has for those precious to him, his drive and will to protect them. These Chaos Emeralds responded to the positive emotions in their hearts and had given Naruto such a powerful yet beautiful looking form. Matter of fact, the catwoman had to rub her eyes as she could've sworn that she saw golden transparent angel wings appear behind Super Naruto before they disappeared. She immediately began to blush as her tail moved back and forth before taking a heart shape.

"Love…"

Super Naruto's eyes open, revealing them to still be their beautiful ruby red color, only this time they weren't glowing. He glared right at Absolute Order, who was doing the same thing. Without even turning away from it, he moved his left hand at Zane, creating a sparkling golden ball of light and fired it at him.

Zane blinked in surprise when the sparkling ball hit him, which made his whole body glow a golden light. The cyborg immediately felt the injuries on his body heal in an instant. Once the glow died down, he removed himself off of Felicia and examined himself, seeing the scar he got from Absolute Order was gone. Everyone else was surprised by this as well.

"Terios. Order."

Even Super Naruto's voice changed. It had gotten deeper, but the tone he spoke was more cool, calm and collected which honestly surprised his group of friends as he was always a hyperactive, sometimes even gentle, fun loving goofball. The fact that he was talking like that just showed them how serious he was about this battle.

"You're not going to destroy this world. For too long, your hearts have been full of nothing but hate. But no more." Super Naruto said. He pointed right at Absolute Order. "You better get ready, because I'm going to open your heart and get rid of all that hate."

Insert Song: Open Your Heart (Sonic 30th Symphony Ver.)

Hearing what he said made the monster growl angrily at him. It let loose a ferocious roar at Super Naruto as if it was saying "Stop me if you can!" and prepared itself for the incoming battle.

Super Naruto took that roar as a challenge and went flying towards Absolute Order. Absolute Order projects its shield around itself again, but it is smashed by Super Naruto and it gets punched across the face, shocking everyone as the power behind it actually knocks it's head to the side while a small smirk appears on Super Naruto's face.

Absolute Order's shocked expression turns into rage as it tries to smash Super Naruto with its hands but is stopped by a giant pair of three fingered hands created by the super guardian. Super Naruto pushed the hands back and used his giant water hands to give Absolute Order a double uppercut to the chin, making it stumble backwards before grabbing it's face with one hand and punching it with the other. He then proceeded to deliver a Spartan style kick to the chest, using an enlarged water foot, knocking it further back.

The giant beast gave out a loud angered roar as it fired multiple energy bullets from it's dorsal plates, all of them aimed at Super Naruto, who remained undeterred even as they combined to form a bigger energy bullet.

Super Naruto instead raised his hand up to the large energy bullet, catching it in his palm. He then infused it with his own chaos energy, turning it from purple to blue with a yellow core inside it and changed its shape to resemble a lightning bolt.

"Bolt of Lightning!" Super Naruto threw the attack, making it reach breakneck speed at Absolute Order's brain. The monster tried to create a barrier but it's speed and trajectory was too fast for it and it landed a direct hit on it's brain.

"GRAAAAH!"

Absolute Order gave out a screech of pain as it moved its hands towards it's head. It glared hatefully at Super Naruto before moving its eyes towards his friends. It opened its mouth to let loose a roar, only this time it fired a stronger beam that was heading towards the others, who looked scared with Kia preparing to create an energy barrier around them. Thankfully, Super Naruto appears in front of the laser beam and blocks it using his forearms, causing a strong gust of wind to blow past the group, making them cover their face with their arms.

Kia removed the arms from her face and looked up at Super Naruto's figure, calling his name out. "Naruto!"

The beam does nothing as Super Naruto remained unharmed, but he did look pissed at the move towards his friends. "Leave them alone!"

Everyone smiles in relief. Unknown to them, including Super Naruto, there was a glowing crystal ball that was floating away from their sight so they wouldn't notice it as though it was watching them. This mysterious crystal ball belonged to the man in black who was also watching the battle from far away on a hill.

The man hummed to himself. He's been observing those kids since the start of their journey by hiding in the shadows and he'd been waiting for this moment to happen. Now, all he has to do is just sit back and enjoy the show.

Absolute Order released another vicious roar as multiple glowing tentacles came out from the back of its body. The tentacles turned themselves into drills and were launched at Super Naruto, who turned himself in a spin ball that completely shattered the drill-like tentacles. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Absolute Order, only to see a giant fist heading his way. He remained still as it made contact with him, making a strong force to erupt from it.

The giant monster grinned at this, thinking that it got him. But then it looked shocked as Super Naruto simply had his hand out in front of him and stopped it's fist. Absolute Order could do nothing but remove his fist from Super Naruto and backs away, it's face so full of disbelief at what was happening.

Super Naruto stares at Absolute Order's expression before a smirk makes its way on his face. "What's wrong? Is that really all you got?"

Absolute Order's shock turned into anger from the mocking question. It was going to attack Super Naruto again but realized it couldn't move it's arms. It looked down in confusion as it saw giant water hands had its arms in tight like grip.

It turned to Super Naruto and saw he wasn't there. Before it began it's search for the super guardian, it felt multiple blows attack it's face in a rapid session. It couldn't see what kept attacking it, but it could make out that it was a golden streak that was moving too fast.

Super Naruto stopped his attack on Absolute Order, seeing it in a slight daze. He charged straight towards it, pulling his fist back as he summoned a water construct of giant fist. Once the fist grew large enough, he gave out a yell and landed a direct hit to the face, sending the giant monster sliding back as the water hands disperse.

After shaking off it's dazed expression thanks to Super Naruto's blow, Absolute Order glared in murderous fury at its counterpart. It let out a ferocious angry roar as though it was saying it was done playing around. It's dorsal plates begin to glow even more brightly and intensely than ever before, signaling that this next beam will be even bigger and much more powerful.

Seeing this made Super Naruto raise a hand in the air as he created a maelstrom of swirling water which contained a ball of yellow chaos energy. As this happened, a large quantity of water began to rise up and surround Super Naruto, taking shape into something that made Zane, Kia and Omochao shocked while Felicia and Ethan looked dumbfounded.

The mysterious man looked surprised as well, even though his face wasn't shown. "Ho? Well look at that."

The water that was around Super Naruto had taken the shape and form that somewhat bore a resemblance to Perfect Chaos with it's mouth opened. However, instead of the destructive (and scary) snake-like monster that Perfect Chaos is known as, this version looked like a beautiful creature of legend.

A mythical water dragon.

"That form…" Kia said, staring up at the sea dragon with awe.

Throughout her memories of her past life, she always saw Perfect Chaos as this destructive monster powered by the negative energies of the emeralds. She always did imagine what Chaos' true form would be like if he used their true power instead. But now, seeing Super Naruto surrounded by that water construct made her wonder…was that the never before seen true form of Perfect Chaos?

Super Naruto continued to gather more energy with the maelstrom completely covering it up. As he did, the Uzumaki clan's symbol appeared on his chest before it changed and turned into a symbol that was similar to his pendant.

As this happened, something even more amazing occured. The cracked Chaos Drives suddenly appeared around Super Naruto, all of them glowing. The glowing crystals took the forms of the Chaos Warriors, all of their hands right on top of Super Naruto as the maelstrom gained their elemental energy, making it glow a multitude of colors.

Super Naruto's eyes briefly widened as he saw this phenomenon. He looked towards the Chaos Warriors and saw them nodding at him before they vanished. A small smile appeared on his face. "Thanks guys…" He whispered softly. He looked at Absolute Order with a smirk. "Take a look at this. The ultimate power fueled by everyone's wish. This is Super Naruto's power!"

"RAAAAAHH!" Absolute Order fired it's now massive laser beam.

"PERFECT RASEN BLAST!" Super Naruto yelled as he fired his ultimate attack, a pure golden beam of energy that was surrounded by a maelstrom of elemental chaos energies.

The two beams clashed against each other, creating a powerful gust of wind. It was for a couple of seconds as both beams tried to push the other back. Nearby, everyone was awestruck by seeing these two powerful attacks collide with one trying to overpower the other. They even had to block their faces from the powerful wind currents that were heading their way. The group eventually peaked their eyes out to see what was happening and what they saw brought joy to their hearts as they saw Super Naruto's attack was winning the struggle.

Absolute Order's eyes widened from seeing this as it tried to use it's full power against it but it proved futile.

Music End

It's eyes widened again as it's life began to flash before it's eyes, as both Terios and Order. But then something bizarre happened. It suddenly began to have visions of Naruto's early childhood days all the way up to this point.

But nothing could prepare Absolute Order for what happened next.

Music: Sadness [Sonic Adventure]

Inside Absolute Order's Heart

Deep inside a part of the beast's heart, a large green light is seen traveling through the dark. The light stayed there before it split off into two separate lights, one yellow and the other blue. The two lights went in different directions.

In one part, Order was all alone crouching in a very dark abyss, looking quite angry and sad that it was all alone. Was this really how this was going to end? Him being all alone with no one by his side?

Order soon perked up when he saw a blue light begin to shine down in the black abyss. The Dark Chaos looked up at the bright light and saw a silhouette of something heading his way. He then looked shocked when he realized that silhouette was the original Chaos.

Chaos raised his hand towards Order, who looked at it for a brief moment then turned away as if it was saying "No. Just leave me here.".

The original guardian looked saddened by this but then beams at him. He tapped Order's shoulder, getting his attention once again.

Chaos pointed behind him and saw the Chaos Warriors were there with them, in their original blue color before Order corrupted them, once more bringing shame to Order.

The Chaos Warriors surrounded the Dark Chaos and made several hand gestures saying "It's okay, we forgive you."

Order looked at them with a sad confused look on his face. The Chaos Warriors, understanding their brother's confusion, beamed at him. They raised their hand towards Chaos and returned his missing pieces, returning them back into their Chao forms.

"Chao Chao Chao!" One of them said, rubbing Order's head softly.

"Chao!" Another one said happily.

"Chao Chao!" The third said, rubbing his shoulder.

All of the Chao soon flew away into the light with Chaos staying behind. He beams happily at Order and once again holds his hand out towards him.

Order looked like he was about to cry tears of happiness. He beamed happily at Chaos and grabbed his hand. The moment he did, he returned back to his original form before his corruption and then into his Chao form.

"Chao!" The little Chao said happily as both he and Chaos left the darkness of the abyss and into the light to join their family.

In another part of Absolute Order's heart, a younger Terios stood in a dark abyss. He saw a yellow light appear in the dark space and felt someone behind him.

"So, this is how it ends, huh?" Terios asked. "I ended up losing the fight and this cursed world will keep on going."

"It doesn't have to be a cursed world forever." A younger Naruto said, standing directly behind him, facing the other way.

"What are you talking about?" Terios asked with a scoff. "The day when the Sage of Six Paths gave all living creatures chakra was the day this world was doomed to be cursed, forever filled with hatred no matter how many centuries pass. I was just doing the world a favor."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "By destroying it?"

"Yes, and creating a new world." Terios said, looking up at the dark abyss. "A world without hatred. A world without wars and violence. A world...without shinobi."

"That's what you were trying to do?" Naruto asked incredulously. "Destroy one world just to create another?"

"Why not? The moment shinobi were brought up, there's been nothing but civil or nationwide wars that affect all the lands around them. Hatred breeds more hatred no matter what reasons for it, be it culture, lands, religion, races or anything else. All of that is more than enough to start a war." Terios explained. "Losing someone or something very important to you is the cause of pain and the start of hate. Revenge is the product of that hatred and death follows through, only for more and more death to follow. That is the cycle of hatred that we have lived in, even before the concept of shinobi existed. That is what my Master taught me."

Naruto remained silent, thinking back on seeing Perfect Chaos' attacks on the Knuckles Clan and at Station Square before finally being calmed down by Super Sonic. "You're right."

Terios was a little off guard by that. "What?"

"I said you're right, about this cycle of hatred thing." Naruto admitted, head down low. "Humans, animals, gods, hatred exists in all living creatures. That's just something we're just going to have to accept."

Terios clenched his fists tightly from hearing that. "So then why the hell-"

"But destroying the world isn't going to fix that." Naruto interrupted Terios. "No matter what world we live in or try to create, there's always gonna be hatred and all kinds of negative feelings. We can't just fight hatred with hatred. It already caused too many problems in this world and it hasn't nor will ever solve one."

"Tch!" Terios grit his teeth in anger as he turned to face the back of the current Naruto, who had blond hair. The moment he turned around, he returned to his current appearance. "And what about you Naruto Namikaze, son of the Fourth Hokage? Are you going to tell me that you don't hate your family and village for what they did to you? All because you didn't have chakra!?"

"I did hate them!" Naruto yelled out, turning around to face Terios with a glare. "I really did. I hated that family and everyone in the village with all my heart! Why the hell wouldn't I after what they put me through? When I ran away from the leaf village I wanted to hate them for the rest of my life and get revenge on them for the pain they caused me!"

Terios remained silent as Naruto calmed down. The guardian himself looked down at the black empty space.

"But...I didn't, and it's all thanks to Chaos. It's because of him that not only did I find a new home, I also found a new family with the creatures from his world and I gained the power needed to protect them." Naruto said, placing a hand on his chest. "Despite that, deep down inside me, I still felt hatred towards everyone in the leaf village and...I was scared. I was scared because I might've ended up in the same position Chaos found himself in all those years ago. I was even close to falling into it because of that monster."

Terios knew what he was talking about. After all, he saw it himself. The day when that monster came and attacked the island, Naruto lost himself to hate when he saw it attack his 'family' and took on a form that was different from the one he was more familiar with. A form that was similar to a rampaging beast.

"So, in order to free myself from that hate…" Naruto looked up to face Terios. "I did to myself what Sonic did to Chaos."

"...And what's that?" Terios asked after a moment of silence.

Naruto grins happily as he pounded his chest with his fist before pointing at it with his thumb. "I opened my heart!"

"...what?" Terios asked, looking at the blond as though he said something very stupid.

"I opened my heart!" Naruto repeated before explaining. "In order to move on and regain the future, we have to release the past, discarding those chains of memories and freeing our hearts from it. To 'Open Your Heart' is to free yourself from hatred and move on to a brighter tomorrow." He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly while chuckling. "At least that's what I believe."

Terios gave Naruto the biggest deadpan expression on his face. "That's childish stupidity." Naruto glared at him. "How the hell can someone 'open their heart' to free themselves from hatred? Just face it, our world has too much hatred. Even when we're gone, hatred will still exist. You just need to accept this fact of life, the better you have a chance at surviving this world."

Naruto glares at him as what he said reminded him of what Zabuza told him and Kia. "No. I refuse to accept that kind of life." He thought back on Kia, Zane, Haku, Zabuza, Felicia, Ethan, Gaara and B. "I met a lot of people during this adventure, some of them were friends and some of them I fought against. Intentional and unintentional, they opened their hearts to me and I got to learn more about them as a person." He stared hard at Terios' eyes. "But if what you say is true about this world, then it looks like I'm going to change it."

"Change it?" Terios repeated. "How? How can you change this world without using the power of the emeralds?"

"I'm going to change it...with this." Naruto replied, placing his hand where his heart is located. "I still have a lot to learn about this world and it may take a while, but someday soon, I know that everyone will come to understand each other. Even though they're hearts are trapped in the deepest darkness, I believe that as long as they open their hearts, the light of hope will always shine there." He smiled at Terios. "After all, you've already opened your heart to me, Terios."

Terios' eyes widened at what Naruto said and the confidence he spoke with it. He immediately began to notice that darkness around them began to brighten up by the rays of a rising sun. He looked back at Naruto and saw he was still wearing that stupid smirk on his face before it turned into a happy smile. He couldn't believe it. This no chakra fool actually managed to get him off all people to open his heart and now look. His heart that was in full darkness is now starting to see the light.

"This guy…" He closed his eyes and gained a small smile. "What an idiot." He didn't know why but for some reason he starts to imagine him and Naruto meeting in their their younger years hanging out and had happy looks on their faces.

Absolute Order stared at the beam as it got closer. It moved its eyes towards Super Naruto and saw the gentle look on his face. It's eyes softened slightly at seeing that expression before they closed in acceptance. It suddenly had a vision of a younger Naruto and Terios meeting each other and playing.

"If we had met back then...maybe...I would've walked a different path."

Music End

Absolute Order soon got hit by Super Naruto's beam and not even giving off a final roar. Beams of light came out of its body before it exploded as the powerful energy beam enveloped it's body. The beam vanished in a couple of seconds along with Absolute Order.

Super Naruto moved his hand down the moment the attack ended. He looked at a certain spot with a serious expression as he floated down to the ground and reverted back to his normal appearance. He released a breath of fresh air.

"Naruto!"

Naruto turned to the yelling of his friends only to get tackled on the soft grass. Omochao was hugging his face, Kia and Felicia had their arms around his neck, Ethan hugged his waist and Zane just stood there looking quite amused yet also relieved.

"That was awesome Naruto!" Felicia cheered in excitement as she gave his cheek multiple kisses. But in her excitement, she also gave him a few licks.

"Yeah Naruto! How did you do that!?" Omochao asked, equally excited.

"You won! You did it big brother!" Ethan said happily, his voice still soft.

"Whoa! Whoa! Guys take it easy!" Naruto tried to calm them down though he blushed hotly when Felicia kissed his cheek and then gave it a sudden lick. He immediately sat up, making everyone let go of him, Kia being the only exception.

"...you idiot." Kia whispered as she trembled against his form. He heard her sniffle and felt wetness on his exposed chest as she hugged him tighter. "Don't you ever scare us like that again! I...I thought we lost you."

Naruto's eyes widened slightly, not from the tears that he felt but the plea in her voice, and he immediately felt like a jackass for making her and the others worried and scared like that. His eyes softened and a smile graced his face as he hugged her back.

"I'm sorry."

After holding him for a couple of seconds, Kia released him from her hug, wiping the tears away and smiling at him which he returned in the form of his signature goofy smile. She stood and held her hand out to him, signalling him to grab which he did and got pulled up. They turned to the others and saw them smiling happily at the scene before them.

Zane smiled from that for a brief moment before turning serious. "Naruto." He got his attention. "What happened to Terios?"

Naruto looked serious and immediately turned around to walk away, making everyone follow after him. It was only a couple of seconds before they found Terios' lying down on the ground but they saw wisps of gold light rising from his body. He was also staring up at the now cloudless sky.

"Terios." Naruto spoke.

"Congratulations. Looks like you won." Terios said. "It's over for me."

Kia let out a gasp before turning towards Naruto. "You mean…" He nods at the unasked question. She looked down, her expression conflicted with emotions.

"Hey Princess." Kia looked at Terios as he called her by that nickname. He had his eyes closed. "If you have something to say then you better hurry up and say it."

Kia's eyes widened before she closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly. "I have a lot of things I want to say and a lot of things I want to do. You have no idea the kind of pain your actions have caused to so many of my people!" Her body was trembling as the memories of that day were coming back. She grit her teeth. "I'm trembling so much I just want to end you right here and now! It just shows how much I hate you!"

Her friends looked at her with worried expressions. Naruto reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder. She immediately stopped and uncurled her fists. She glanced at him for a second and saw him smiling gently at her. She took a deep breath and calmed down as she recalled a certain memory during Naruto's two day sleep. She returned the smile and looked back down at Terios, her face neutral.

"But I promised myself and my grandmother that I will not fall into hatred and let it consume me. She sensed it happened to you and you and was suffering from it. Even though I still hate you, it will not bring back those who died. So I'm going to let it go and keep moving forward."

"...is that so?" Terios asked. "Then I guess...there's just one thing for me to say to you and your people." He opened his eyes and gave an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry."

Kia had to do a doubletake as she looked at Terios with surprise as she hadn't expected him to apologize to her and by extension her people. She looked at the others and saw they were just as surprised, except for Naruto who was smiling at Terios with respect. It would seem that during that power struggle from moments ago, he and Terios must've secretly had a heart to heart.

Everyone gasped as Terios began to fade away starting from his feet.

"As of today, the Kura Clan are extinct." Terios continued. "I spent my whole life wanting to get revenge against them for what they did to me and my mother. Now that it's done, there's nothing left for me in this world."

"Terios." Naruto said softly, watching as Terios' fading body was now to his waist area.

"Naruto." Terios said, turning his head to look at him. He smiled at him. "Thank you, for giving me this last battle and for opening my heart. If it's you...then maybe this world can be saved."

Naruto smirked a little and nodded his head. "Yeah! Just leave everything to me, I'll fix this broken world of ours."

"Whatever." Terios said as he closed his eyes, a peaceful expression on his face. He immediately saw the image of a beautiful woman with long violet hair, dressed in a purple kimono smiling gently at him. "Mother...I'm coming to meet you."

"Chao! Chao!" He heard a happy child-like voice right next to his ear, making him chuckle in amusement as he knew who it was.

"Right. We're coming to meet you." Terios could see his mother's smile widening at the two of them.

Everyone watched on as Terios faded away, making them look up at the glowing golden lights as they disappeared into the sky where they could see the rising sun. They bowed their heads, all of them giving out silent prayers for him to be reunited with his mother in the afterlife. Even though he was the cause of an island massacre, he was still a child who was suffering from his own hatred. But now that his hatred is gone, his heart is finally at peace.

It wasn't just Terios' heart. Order himself was no doubt with them also, now finally at peace. Naruto and Kia should know, because they saw the spirit of Order, back in his Chao form, leaving with Terios to the afterlife which brought smiles on their faces.

Before he left, the Chao spirit looked their way and waved happily at them before he hugged Terios and completely vanished. That little action was enough to tell them that the two of them truly formed a special bond.

Insert Song: Light of Hope (Instrumental) [Sonic Forces]

A couple of minutes later after saying their prayers, the group were standing on top of a cliff, overlooking the former destroyed area which now became an area filled with grass and flowers.

Naruto reached into his pocket, taking out his damaged pendant and six cracked crystals, examining them for a moment before sighing and putting them back. He turned to the rising sun with a concentrated expression.

"Naruto?" Kia asked.

"Hm?"

"What was Terios talking about earlier?" Kia asked curiously. The question made everyone turn to him, all of them looking curious.

Naruto glanced at them out of the corner of his eyes before he smiled and turned his attention back to the sun. "Earlier, when our attacks clashed, I went inside that monster's heart. I met with Terios and...I think Chaos met with Order."

Everyone looked surprised at hearing that.

"Terios was telling me how there was too much hate in this world and how he was going to destroy it to create a new one." Naruto continued, not seeing the disbelief looks everyone gave him.

"Create a new world?" Omochao asked.

Naruto nodded in response. "I told him that it won't fix the problem. No matter what world we destroy or try to create, hatred will always exist in some shape or form."

"Right." Kia nods in understanding. "All living creatures feel hatred at some point in their lives. It's just a part of our nature."

Naruto nodded at that as his smile grew bigger. "But there's a way for us to fight it."

"Really? How?" Felicia asked.

"We have to open our hearts." Naruto answered, earning looks of confusion from everyone.

"Open our hearts?" Zane asked.

"W-What does that mean?" Ethan asked.

"It's like I told Terios." Naruto said. "In order for us to fight hatred and the darkness that grows from it, we have to open our hearts and free ourselves from it. You can't fight hate with hate, just like how you can't fight darkness with darkness. It'll keep on increasing until it consumes you and you lose yourself to it." He looked down, a deep frown on his face. "I know, because I was close to falling to it as well."

"Naruto." Kia said, looking concerned. She couldn't blame him. Even now she can sense that Naruto still felt so many negative emotions towards his former family and village.

"If Chaos hadn't saved me that day, I would've been trapped in my own hatred and became a different person." Naruto said, smiling fondly. He closed his eyes as though he was reminiscing about something. "Chaos was my hero. He was the light that destroyed the darkness from within my heart. It's thanks to him that I met Omochao and the others, even all of you. And for that I will forever be thankful to him." He opened his eyes as they turned serious. "Now it's my turn."

"What do you mean?" Omochao asked.

"Ever since my last meeting with Terios, I've been thinking long and hard about this, now I've made up my mind." Naruto said, reaching his hand out towards the sun. "I want to change this world. I want to save those who are suffering right now because of the circumstances they're in, either being treated as outcasts for being different or something else. Just like how Chaos became my light of hope, I want to become their light of hope as well. For that, I made my decision."

Naruto turned around to face everyone, showing them his signature smile. A smile that showed eagerness, happiness, reassurance and any other positive feelings someone gets whenever they see it.

"I'm gonna turn Angel Island into a nation!"

Everyone's eyes widened at the declaration he made, none more so than Kia and Omochao. A nation? Angel Island? Both of them had never imagined those three words would come together.

"Really?!" Omochao asked, an exclamation mark appearing over his head.

"Nya? A nation?" Felicia asked, her expression like that of a curious cat.

"Naruto, are you sure about this?" Zane asked. "If you do this, then the island will be in danger from those who seek the Master Emerald."

"Yeah." Naruto turned completely serious and nodded his head. "I know I'm risking the exposure of the island and the Master Emerald, but at this point, I don't care. Haku, Zabuza, Gaara, Terios, the reason why they became the way they were was because of the hellish environment they were living in. But Angel Island is different. While it's origin came from a bad start, I can't deny how peaceful and fun it is to live there."

Naruto smiles as he remembers the amazing times he had on the island. From the exciting and fun Zones to the most calm and peaceful ones.

"The island can be a place for everybody who just wants to live a peaceful, happy life without having to worry about wars or being discriminated against and persecuted just for being different. It can be the kind of place where everyone can be themselves and follow their hearts. I know it's a small step in trying to change the world but it's a step I'm gonna take. It's to show that there's still hope for this world; hope that we need to keep alive, no matter how dark and gritty it gets."

Everyone looked mesmerized by Naruto's passionate speech which came from his heart. It also didn't help that the sun behind him made him look more majestic. With his waist-length hair he looked like a boy that grew up in the wild. But with his hair now at shoulder-length, he looked like a beautiful young prince. Just seeing that made Kia and Felicia blush hotly at him, Ethan looked awestruck, Zane settled with a satisfied smile and Omochao looked quite happy.

"And if there's anybody out there who wants to come and take the emeralds or to cause trouble on the island, then I'm just gonna do what I always do best." Naruto held his fist out towards them, a confident grin on his face. "Giving them a first class chaos style beat down!"

"Naruto." Kia thought as her eyes slowly widened in delight with a proud smile forming on her face.

"Oh, that's right." Naruto said, looking as though he just realized something. "Hey Kia, are you okay with it?" Seeing her raise an eyebrow at him made him continue. "I mean Angel Island is also your home, and I just wanted to know if you're okay with it being a-" He stopped when Kia placed her finger on his lips.

"Of course I'm okay with it, Naruto and I agree with you." Kia said, removing her finger from his lips and inwardly giggling at the blush on his face.

"Really?" Naruto asked, a little caught off guard by Kia's action.

Kia nods her head and turns serious. "It's like you said, there is too much hatred, violence and death in this world. It may be peaceful now, but it won't be long until someone starts a Fourth Great Ninja War and that will only lead to a Fifth." She thought about Tikal and the First Hokage. "There may have been those who tried to bring peace, but they took the quickest path, a shortcut, in order to achieve it. If we want to have peace we have to do it the right way with everyone involved so that we can all be happy." She smiles in determination as she grabbed his hand and placed hers on top of it. "So yeah, I agree and support your decision 100%."

Naruto looked stunned for a moment before he saw a robotic hand on top of Kia's. He looked up at Zane and saw him smiling at him.

"I support it as well. We will help you protect the island and bring peace to this world."

"Me too!" Omochao grinned from atop Ethan's head, who ran up to them and placed his hand on top of theirs.

"Y-Yeah. I...I want to help out too!" The youngest member said happily.

"And you already know my answer!" Felicia stated, placing her hand in the middle. "I don't really like fighting but if it's to protect my precious loved ones, then I'll teach the bad guys a lesson they'll never forget!"

Kia giggled at that and turned back to Naruto, who was looking at them stunned by what they were saying. "Naruto." She got his attention and she smiled beautifully at him. "You're not alone anymore."

Naruto looked at her, the hands on top of his and then everyone's smiling faces. He trembled slightly before bowing his head and used his other hand to block his eyes from them, not even seeing the soft looks they gave him. This was it. They all supported him and are willing to stick by him to help him not only protect the island but also bring peace to this world.

The tears he's been holding back since the group hug came back and were let loose. He felt truly blessed to have such incredible friends like them.

While he did love the creatures of his island like family, deep down inside he yearned to become friends with people one day as he never had back when he lived in the Leaf Village. Kia and Zane were his first human friends and they ended up making more friends along the way.

"You guys…" The guardian wiped the tears from his eyes. He looked at them with the biggest smile he ever made. A smile that was full of happiness. "You're the greatest!"

Everyone looked happy at his reply and they shared his smile. Suddenly out of nowhere a bright green light erupted from Naruto's chest, making everyone look at it in confusion. Before anyone could comment on it, a bright flash of green light covered the group and they vanished a second later.

Hiding from behind the trees, the hooded man had crossed his arms and had a soft knowing smile on his face.

"You're lucky to have such amazing friends." The man complimented. He turned to leave but stopped for a moment and turned to the glowing crystal ball. "And to anyone out there who's still listening or watching, I only say this; If you wish to meet the boy and his friends, go to Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. For the Chunin Exams will be taking place there."

The crystal ball stopped glowing and fell right on the man's open palm. "Now...I believe it's time for us to meet, Naruto." He turned and walked away, vanishing from sight.

For what reason why the man was talking to the crystal ball is simple. Before the kids left the Cloud Village, he activated the crystal ball and sent it right to them just before Naruto did his Chaos Control. Since then, the crystal ball has been floating around them, hiding in secret and watching the events that had occurred, like a live video. This live video was seen by select individuals throughout the whole world, both in and out of the Shinobi Nations. Most of those individuals were already getting ready to go to Konoha to meet this young man.

The young man who not only made a bond with a god from another world but was also the one who brought them to this ninja ruled world.

Meanwhile, on the shinobi side of things, word had already spread throughout the whole continent that all of the Chaos Warriors had been destroyed. The Daimyo of the Great Nations were all extremely grateful and excited to hear the news and each of them wanted to know the brave heroes who finally got rid of them.

Rumors had already spread that it was due to the efforts of three foreign children with equally incredible foreign powers. It first started off when they made their first appearance in the Land of Wave, where the Fire Demon went to, to not only protect the famous bridge builder from Gato and his hired ninja but to also fight against the Fire Demon itself and were victorious, freeing the country from both it and Gato.

After that, they traveled throughout various parts of the great nations to take care of this threat including the Land of Snow.

There was even word going around that the leader of this group, this boy with hair as blue as the ocean itself, fought against the Hidden Sand's jinchuriki in his Tailed Beast form and managed to beat it, which shocked not only the ninja villages but also the other jinchuriki who heard about it as well.

The final straw then came when the last two of these elemental demons appeared in the Land of Lightning, where they combined into an even more powerful demon. The three kids along with the Hidden Cloud's jinchuriki banded together to take down this threat once and for all, ending the reign of the Elemental Demons.

Of course, after hearing this, many Kage and hidden village leaders who haven't met these children wanted to meet with them and have them join their shinobi ranks. After all, shinobi love nothing more than an incredible unknown power and that sort of power is what they want to add amongst their village to become stronger.

In the Land of Waves, the Naruto Retrieval Team were all wide awake, outside of Tazuna's house and were looking at the rising sun. The earlier looks they had from before when that mysterious storm appeared had all but vanished and were more relaxed.

When Kushina told them about the mysterious storm and her feelings towards it, she was surprised to find out that they felt the same way. Earlier, when they heard the loud roar and felt an unknown power, they all felt a sense of fear and dread they never felt before in years. Whatever sort of creature it was that caused the loud roar definitely wasn't a Tailed Beast.

No. It was something else and it was extremely powerful than even the Nine-Tails.

During this, the group felt a sudden sense of despair enter their hearts for some reason. But Kushina was affected by it more than them. Something inside her told her something terrible has happened to Naruto. It was so bad that it actually made her cry.

Then she and the others felt a new kind of power rise up and overcome the dark malicious power from earlier. This new power filled her up with hope, joy and relief. The Uzumaki matriarch immediately realized that this new power that gave her these feelings was definitely her little boy.

Next thing everyone knew, the storm was gone and the rising sun was seen. It made Kushina feel correct in her assumption. Whatever happened was over now and Naruto was safe.

Now they just gotta prepare themselves for tomorrow. Today will be the last day for the bridge to be complete and tomorrow will be the official grand opening party.

In the Land of Wind, after the great battle with Shukaku, Gaara had been all but restless. He was still thinking about that battle and kept asking himself how it was possible for him to lose. He'd never lose against anyone! He relied on nobody but himself and he was invincible! So why?! How was it even possible to lose against someone who relied on and fought for their friends!?

The youngest child of the Fourth Kazekage could do nothing but be in fit of rage at that. He would snap and attack just about anyone who would come near him. The sand shinobi, his sister, brother and even his own father, who was surprised by the behavior of his youngest.

Gaara would also get minor headaches as he keeps seeing the image of the mysterious water beast that Naruto transformed into along with seeing images of a younger Naruto being alone before he was surrounded by his friends. The younger Naruto even held his hand out towards him as if he wanted him to join him.

The sand jinchuriki swore to himself that if he ever got the chance to see Naruto again, he would face him again to see how he was able to get so powerful and learn what that vision meant.

In the Hidden Leaf Village, Minato had just left the house after bidding his daughters goodbye. He looked up at the sun, giving it a soft smile in relief. The feeling of despair he had felt in his heart vanished just as soon as it appeared and seeing the sun shining down on him had told him that his son was safe.

His smile was then replaced with a frown as he looked at the tag he got in his hand. He looked at it with a bit of regret but then looked determined as he stuffed it away in his Hokage robes.

Back at the house, Mika was now sleeping soundly in her bedroom, her floor filled to the brim with drawings of Naruto and his Chaos form. Naruki herself had decided to go and hit the shack too now that the storm was over and the weird feeling she's been having is gone.

Minami was still wide awake as she just sat on the couch, looking through the photo albums of the family when Naruto was still with them before he slowly faded into the background and then disappeared. She sighed sadly and closed the book, looking at the desk on the other side of the living room, where she put the picture of Naruto and his friends in a frame next to the picture of their graduation.

The eldest Namikaze gave the photo a sad longing smile as she stared at her little brother's beautiful smiling face before looking outside towards the sun. She didn't know why but something told her that things are going to be different.

And she doesn't even know why.

Meanwhile

Angel Island: Altar of the Emeralds

In a flash of green light, Team Chaos appeared in front of the Master Emerald, all of them still in the same position they were in.

"What the heck?" Naruto asked, looking quite dumbfounded by what happened.

"Huh? Where are we now?" Felicia asked curiously, looking around in slight surprise but then yelled in comical surprise when she saw the Master Emerald. "NYA?! That's one BIG Chaos Emerald!" She comically circled around it. "Is this that Master Emerald thing you guys were talking about?"

"Uh-huh!" Omochao replied. "This is the emerald that keeps Angel Island floating and what controls the power of the Chaos Emeralds."

"Oh~how cool!" Felicia said as she touched it with both hands before her whole body went stiff including her tail. She can feel the raw power that this emerald was radiating and it was amazing! What's more, after touching it, she could almost feel it's warm light pulsing in her hands, almost as if it was alive.

Ethan looked awestruck at seeing the giant diamond also as he joined Felicia in touching it and enjoying it's warmth. "S-So pretty."

"We're...home?" Naruto said, looking confused. He didn't even initiate a Chaos Control. So what brought them here?

"You should've at least told us you were gonna do that Naruto." Omochao told him.

"Eh? I didn't do this!"

"He's right." Kia agreed, looking at the Master Emerald and saw it was glowing. "Something's happening to the Master Emerald."

Everyone turned to the Master Emerald with Ethan and Felicia backing away from it when they saw it was glowing. The Chaos Emeralds came out of Naruto's body, surprising everyone and circled above the Master Emerald. All of the emeralds suddenly shot a beam of light at Naruto's chest. His eyes glowed a bright green with his expression turning neutral. He floated towards the Master Emerald till he landed on its surface.

The colored crystals came out of his pocket and glowed brightly. All the weapons that he collected from the Chaos Warriors, including his once broken trident now suddenly fixed, appeared as glowing crystal-like particles.

Naturally, everyone's eyes widened at seeing this bizarre phenomenon.

"N-Naruto?" Ethan asked, feeling a little nervous about what was going on.

"What's happening?" Zane asked.

"I...I don't know." Omochao answered, his thoughts trying to come up with what was happening but couldn't.

"It's amazing, nya." Felicia commented.

"It's...another miracle." Kia said.

Arc 1 Ending Main Theme: We're a Miracle [By: Christina Aguilera]

(Instruments Playing)

The weapons vanished, leaving only behind the crystals as they came together to form a big ball of light in the form of a beautiful rainbow color. The ball of light shot up into the sky and exploded, leaving a multicolored ring of light that rained down colored meteors all over the island, including the Mystic Ruins.

Some of those colored meteors ended up getting absorbed by the sleeping Chao, making some of them wake up as they saw what was happening. The meteors even hit the six mysterious Chao eggs that appeared all over the island.

[Verse 1]

Here we are, safe at last

We can breathe a sigh, seems the storm has passed

Through it all, no one knew,

That all the tears in heaven, would bring me back to you

No one I know, imagined we would make it

But it only matters that we both believed

Everyone's eyes widened in awe at seeing such an amazing display which reminded them of fireworks. They turned back to Naruto, who had already transformed into his Chaos Mode and saw the Master Emerald's energy covering him before it took shape as a diamond.

The Master Emerald then shot out a pillar of green light that shot through the heavens and blocked everyone's view of the diamond-encased Naruto while the emeralds shot out pillars of their own which surrounded the green one.

[Chorus]

You and me, we're a miracle; meant to be

And nothing can change it

Mountains move

And oceans part

When they are standing in our way

You and me, we're a miracle;

Angels stand watching over us

And heaven shines upon us, every day

The pillar of lights caught the attention of the now awoke Chao, Wisps and Critters, who were around the area. Kia and the group had to block their eyes since they were close to it.

"Eh~!? What's going on now Kia?!" Felicia asked.

"I don't know, but get ready!" Kia told everyone. "Something is about to happen!"

Just like the Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emerald glowed a bright white light. A white void suddenly erupts from the emeralds, covering everyone standing near it before it covers the whole entire island. The white void expanded further and even covered the Mystic Ruins.

Unknown

Naruto blinked in confusion. He took a look at his surroundings and saw he was in a green space. "What am I...doing here?"

He couldn't remember what happened. One second he was at the Altar with his friends watching the emeralds do their light show, next thing he knew the emeralds shot beams of light in his chest and all he saw was white. He didn't even pay attention to the fact that he was back to his seven year old self again after his union with Chaos.

Before he could comment on this weird space, he felt a familiar three fingered hand touch his shoulder. His eyes immediately widened as he turned around. Much to his absolute shock, he saw Chaos 'smiling' happily at him. The shock of seeing his hero quickly left him with tears flowing down his eyes once again.

"Chaos!" Naruto cried out happily as he turned around to hug his old friend, which Chaos returned. He released him and grabbed his shoulders, looking very enthusiastic. "It's really you! I...I don't understand. How are you…?"

[Verse 2]

Everytime, I felt near defeat

You were there for me oh

By my side completely

You give me strength oh..

you set me free... hey yeah yeah

It's just because of you ohh..

I'm all that I can be ohh..

When I'm with you, the world is ours to reach for

Together there is nothing we can't do, ooh ooh..

"Chao!"

Naruto released Chaos and looked behind him to see five Chao glowing in different colors beaming at him as they waved towards him. He immediately knew who they were and was happy to see them as well. "Agni! Frost! Vayu! Gaia! Zenon!"

All the Chao who he called out responded in kind. Before Naruto could say more, the green space suddenly changed into the Shrine of the Emeralds. But Naruto noticed this wasn't the current shrine he was familiar with. No, it was the past version of the shrine from before the Knuckles Clan's assault. The Master Emerald was also there as they were in front of it.

"Is this…?" Naruto was about to ask but then Chaos quickly grabbed his attention.

The mutated Chao pointed at the five Chao then to himself. Naruto immediately understood what he said.

"I get it. Because they held your pieces, you were incomplete when we first met. But now that they've returned, you're whole again." Chaos beams at him and nods in reply. Naruto smiled at him in kind but then looked sad. "I guess you wanted to see me again before you finally go, huh?"

Chaos looked sad about that as well but nodded. Even the Chao were sad. Naruto's lips trembled slightly as he looked down, eyes closed tightly to keep the tears from falling again.

"I have so much I want to tell you." He placed his hand where his heart was and clenched it. "So many things happened and I...I want to tell you about it. But I know I won't have time to tell you everything. So I'll just say this even though I said it too many times."

Chaos stared at Naruto with a questionable expression.

"Thank you for saving my life." Naruto continued. "Thank you for bringing me to Angel Island. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family."

As he kept thanking the water spirit who changed his life for the better, Naruto didn't realize it but he started to grow bigger and bigger until he reached his current age. He looked up at Chaos and smiled gratefully at him with tears still in his eyes. "Thank you...for everything!"

Chaos' eyes widened from that before they softened and trembled. He shook his head and nodded at him, looking quite happy. He walked up to him and grabbed his hand, turning it over so his palm was facing upwards. The water god placed his other hand on the open palm.

However, he saw a gloved hand appear on top of Chaos.

"Huh?" Naruto asked. He looked up and was forced to do a double take. "Tikal!?"

[Repeat Chorus]

Tikal smiles happily at Naruto's delighted expression from seeing her. They were both happy because they finally got the chance to finally meet each other. Naruto then felt another presence appear next to him and saw a familiar hand on top of Tikal's. He and the others looked next to him.

"Kia?"

Yes. Right next to Naruto was Kia. But like him, she too had aged down considerably. She was the exact same age she was back when she met Tikal.

The now seven year old princess looked his way with a smile before turning towards Tikal, Chaos and the Chao. She herself was delighted to finally meet Chaos and was surprised yet also happy to see Tikal.

"Tikal...I..." She stopped for a moment because she felt her voice choke up. This will truly be the final time she will see either of them, so she has to make this count but she just didn't know what to say to her or Chaos.

"You and Chaos...you don't have to worry anymore. Naruto and I are finally together. The two of us, along with our friends, will keep the island and emeralds safe."

"Most definitely!" Naruto agreed wholeheartedly.

Tikal smiles warmly at them as she nods her head in acknowledgement. She turned her head to Chaos, who looked back at her with a happy eyed expression, same with the Chao as they happily cheered.

"Kia. Naruto. Thank you very much." Tikal said with the two nodding at her. She started to glow a pink light while Chaos began to glow a blue light.

"Chao!" The Chao versions of the Chaos Warriors said happily as they began to glow as well.

Seeing this made Naruto and Kia tear up as they knew what this meant.

[Verse 3]

The chance was so unlikely

That we would ever win

Two stars among the heavens

Destiny brought you to me

Chaos and Tikal began to turn transparent, making Kia's hand fall on top of Naruto's and they began to float away. Naruto reached out to try and say something to them but stopped himself. He shook his head and moved back. No, this was it. There was nothing more to be said. It's time for them to move on.

He and Kia both shared a sad smile despite the understanding look on their faces. They looked back at the others and nodded at them making Chaos and Tikal do the same as they and the Chao began to vanish.

"Take care."/ "Take care." Chaos and Tikal said to them before they vanished completely.

"We will!" The children said as they let out the tears after seeing them disappear.

[Repeat Chorus]

Kia instantly turned to Naruto and hugged him as she sobbed into his shoulder while he held her and closed his eyes to stop the flowing tears. Feeling a bright light, the two turned to the Master Emerald and saw it was glowing once again. The two released themselves from each other and wiped the tears from their eyes before looking back at the emerald.

Naruto turned to Kia and reached his hand out to her with a happy grin. She smiled back at him and grabbed his hand, both walking to the Master Emerald just as they aged up and turned into their current selves.

While this happened, they were being watched by a man. He wore a white full-length kimo and had purple eyes that had ripple patterns in them. The man was sitting crossed leg in the air, away from the altar, smiling warmly from the scene that just happened. He watched as the light of the Master Emerald obscured his vision of the children but that didn't stop his smile from widening further from what he saw.

Instead of seeing two young teens, he saw adult versions of them overlapping their younger selves, both of them dressed up in royal garments.

Real World

Back in the real world, the giant white light had already vanished. Team Chaos still had their eyes blocked by their arms before removing it.

"I-Is it over?" Ethan asked nervously, peeking out through the gaps of his fingers.

"I think so." Omochao said, though he looked uncertain.

"What was all that about?" Felicia asked curiously, looking around in confusion.

"Chaos Control." Kia replied, a dazed look in her eyes as the memories of meeting Tikal, Chaos and the Chaos Warriors in that weird world flashed through her mind. She shook her head and looked around, seeing no sign of Naruto and the Chaos Emeralds were gone. "Wait, where's Naruto?"

Hearing that question made the others stop and search for him. It wasn't until Zane looked up at the sky and saw something white coming down towards them.

"Up there." Zane said, pointing upwards.

Everyone looked up to where he pointed and saw a glowing white sphere was falling down towards them until it landed softly in front of the Master Emerald.

You and me, we're a miracle (miracle)

You and me, we're a miracle (miracle)

Miracle

The sphere slowly began to fade away and everyone saw Naruto standing still with his eyes closed and a gentle smile present on his face. He was still in his Chaos Mode...but it had gone through an evolution.

The form now has markings on certain parts of his body in the forms of either waves (arms and tail), drops (feet) or little spirals (body). In fact, there's a big spiral marking on his chest with three little spirals above his left eye. His facial features are now the same as his human form compared to the more aggressive feral expression it had before. Tufts of his hair are shown and he still has the fin-like protrusions, only they were shorter. He even had a soft green aura surrounding him as it flowed around him like a river before it vanished.

Around his neck was his pendant, only it had changed as well. The semi-circle that was around the pendant was gone and the diamond shaped holes were now attached to the cross forming a star. The center of the cross now has a big blue crystal with the symbol of a stylized glowing spiral design on it, which made it look like it was moving. The symbol somewhat reminded Naruto of the Uzumaki clan's symbol.

The cross now has blue water markings on it, and if that wasn't odd enough, the four corners of the cross and the diamond shaped holes now have regular crystals with tribal markings on them. The crystals were in the colors of the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald with the top and bottom cross having green crystals in them. There were also a pair of white wings attached to the pendant.

Naruto slowly opened his glowing emerald green eyes which continued for several seconds before it died down, showing everyone the green sclera with dark green pupils that stared back at them. He blinked several times as he looked at everyone and saw they were staring at him.

"What?"

It would take Naruto about a good minute to realize his Chaos form had gone through this change. However, it would take him a good hour to discover that the Chaos Control had done something amazing to the island.

This will forever be the day that a new era has officially begun.

Arc 1: Rise of the Chaos Warriors - Fin

Fin Image: Team Chaos are at the Shrine of the Master Emerald, all of them looking happy as they were looking out into the distance. They were surrounded by the Chao, Wisps and Critters.

Author's Note: First and foremost, I am so incredibly sorry for the massive late delay on my stories, especially since we're almost at the end of the year. It's amazing how much work being an actor is, but it's still fun and I'm having a blast being one. Still thank you all very much for understanding.

Now then; we have finally reached the conclusion of this arc. I can't even tell you guys the number of changes and edits I had to make when writing this chapter, more particularly the aftermath of the battle.

In case you're wondering why I chose We're a Miracle as the first ending theme is because to me it's a perfect symbolism of the arc. In this fic, the song's lyrics not only describes the ending of a great battle, but also describes the deep spiritual bond that Naruto and Kia have with Chaos and Tikal respectively, that also includes Zane and Omega. The song can also be seen as Kia's main theme and her feelings towards Naruto.

It's just like when Naruto sang the first opening song The One in chapter 2. It was meant to foreshadow that Naruto will be the one who will save the world and become the light of hope to those who locked their hearts into darkness as he said in this chapter.

I know in the last chapter I said I was going to reveal why Felicia was in Naruto's world, but it won't be until the next chapter. I originally wrote about the mysterious man that was watching them meet up with the gang after the fight was over so he could explain to them why Naruto doesn't have chakra and why Felicia ended up in his world. To me that didn't feel right and I didn't want to ruin such a touching moment with Naruto and his friends because the man interrupted them just to explain some things.

So I decided to hold that off until the next chapter where the man and Naruto will meet alone. Now, the select individuals who the man lets watch the fight between Naruto and Terios are basically the characters who have crossed over and are a part of Naruto's world. I was originally going to show who some of those characters are but decided not to as I'm still working on who I want added to the story and try to make them a part of the Narutoverse.

I already found some characters who I believe would be perfect rivals for Naruto in terms of personality and power, like Ragna the Bloodedge from the Blazblue series. I can perfectly see them going at each other's throat kinda like Sonic and Knuckles. Naruto will also need a new dark rival now that Terios has passed on, they could be male or female, so I'm willing to hear your opinions if you want this character to be an OC or crossover character.

Like I said, most of those characters will come to the Chunin Exam mainly because it's the biggest event in the whole Naruto lore and a very important arc when it comes to introducing new characters. So yeah, Team Chaos will definitely be there.

I won't lie, when I was planning on Terios' Super State, I wanted him to have a form similar to Super Scourge but I decided for it to be similar to a Kaiju. The form is basically based on Godzilla and Iblis. As for the name, Absolute is like another way of saying 'Complete', similar to perfect and I added in Order's name because it made more sense.

Now we come down to Naruto's Super State and his Chaos Mode. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to do his Super form. It was going to be either in his regular form or Chaos Mode. I thought about the image of Super Chaos Mode and to be honest, I didn't really like how I imagined him. So, I just decided to combine the two, regular Naruto's face with his body structure similar to his Chaos Mode like his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode in series canon.

I will also clarify some stuff about the new updated Chaos Mode. As stated in previous chapters, Naruto's Chaos Mode bore a strong heavy resemblance to the original Chaos 0, except more humanized. The reason for its resemblance is because Chaos' essence was taken from him, and by the time of his and Naruto's union, the Chaos Mode was incomplete as Naruto wasn't able to do most of the stuff Chaos was able to do like gliding.

But now after gathering the missing essence and meeting Chaos one last time, Naruto's Chaos Mode has evolved to a 'complete' state, meaning that it has gotten much stronger. Just how strong did it get you might ask? You'll just read on as the story continues.

Also, he won't have access to his other forms as their elemental chaos drives are 'gone' so to say and he has no need for them. He also lost all of his weapons so don't bother to ask about them. As for his Chaos Mode's design with the markings, I was inspired by the various artwork of Sonic Skyline's version of Chaos. To me, he looked like a true ancient god and I wanted Naruto's Chaos Mode to have that same feeling as he grows older.

Yes, just like in my brother's previous work Angel Island will now be a nation and of course Naruto will be it's ruler. However, as you already read, things are a whole lot different.

Unlike Naruto: The Next Chaos which had South Island and West Side Island combined to Angel Island, the Angel Island in my story will be completely different. The Chaos Control that caused Angel Island to expand itself is due Naruto's desire to create a utopia of sorts where everyone can live in peace. Because of that, Naruto's influence has caused a great deal of changes to occur on not only Angel Island but the Mystic Ruins as well as you've already read.

By that, I mean that new Zones have been added to the island and the old Zones have gone through a great change though only Carnival Night will be replaced with a new zone since it was basically built by Eggman during his stay on the island. The New Zones that will appear on the island are original and will take many elements and be inspired by certain levels from Sonic's 30 year history. There won't be a lot, just a little.

Also going forward with the story, I'm planning to do my own lore of the Chaos Emeralds. By that I mean, we're gonna be diving and exploring the true origins of the Master and Chaos Emeralds, the Chaos Energy within them, the Gold Rings, etc. Of course, this is all original and I may add in elements from the Archie comics before the Genesis Wave. The Naruto lore will also get mixed in with it as Angel Island did appear during the era of the Sage of Six Paths, which was a millennium ago according to Naruto canon, so a lot of things could happen around that time.

Well that's all I gotta say. Hope you love this chapter and see you all in the next arc.
