-Naruto's Pov-
While the insertion of Naruto in the Phenex Clan was resulting in a massive maelstrom in politics, the boy in question was busy reliving moments of his past life. On outside it might seem that the boy was sleeping peacefully but on inside the boy was a whirlwhind of emotions ranging from anger, sadness, of the memories were related to his one time rival, best friend and his self proclaimed sister of the most agonizing moments of his life were when Sayuri and he fought at the Valley of the End.
He really, really didn't want to fight her and he surely didn't want to result in her death. His biggest regret was not that he died at the Valley of the End but that she also died with him.
-Flashback-
Madara and Kaguya were finally defeated after a battle which lasted 3 days but this battle which he was fighting right now was the toughest one, because now at this moment was fighting his sister in everything but blood. He knew that it was their destiny to fight to death since they were the descendants of Hagoromo's 2 sons, Indra and Ashura.
They were supposed to fight each other to death just like Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
Today on the day of his Birthday, Naruto Uzumaki and Sayuri Uchiha were also going to fight each other till only one warrior was standing.
He wanted to change this destiny so much, but Naruto knew that this fight was unavoidable. He was no longer the same naïve boy who thought that he could end the war all and that he would be able to change everybody's mind. Sayuri was too far gone in curse, she had captured all the nine Bijuus by using Chibaku Tensei and had enslaved them in massive moon like rocks.
He now knew better than anyone that there was no reformation for Sayuri and that it was his responsibility to do this, that the Bijuus got their freedom and that the Elemental Nations achieved peace which was based on love and understanding instead of force and hate.
"We are finally at the Valley of the End, where we fought last time and I was the victor." Stated Sayuri without demonstrating any kind of emotions.
"We don't have to do this Sayuri, we can talk this out." Naruto insisted with clear desperation in his being but even he knew that they were way past talking.
"There is nothing to talk about, we will settle it with our fists."
Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Then have it your way."
With that they charged at each other, to settle things for once and for all.
They have been fighting each other since last hours and they were at their end of the duel, both Naruto and Sayuri had used everything in their repertoire including Full body Susanoo and Nine Tail Kyuubi Mode but they were equal in all terms.
"Why wouldn't you just go down Naruto?!" Screamed Sayuri with desperation and anger visible as day in her voice.
Sayuri was in a terrible state, her white shirt was completely damaged and she was punctured in her left shoulder by highly pressurized water from one of Naruto's Jutsu, He also sported some chakra burns from his opponents pure chakra based attacks.
"I can't go down, not after reaching this far. We are now so close to peace, I can see it." Naruto gave a grin with so much confidence that it could have moved mountains.
Although even he wasn't faring any better, his orange jacket was ruined and he also had a puncture through his left shoulder from one of Sayuri's Chidori and also sported 2nd degree burns from Sayuri's various Fire Jutsus.
"This is the end Naruto!" Sayuri bellowed with uncontrollable rage and started to concentrate on creating an Enton: Kagutsuchi.
Naruto saw black fire coalescing around Sayuri's right hand and it was generating an incredible amount of heat. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.
'Kurama! Are you ready?' Naruto asked his lifelong friend.
'Damn right I am! Go for it kit.' Kurama retorted back with a massive grin.
Naruto returned his enthusiasm by creating a Rasenshuriken in his left hand and he made his attack bigger and deadlier by mixing it with Kurama's chakra.
"Sayuri!"
"Naruto!"
They charged at each other with their massive attacks and the whole world was blinded by bright light when these 2 titans collided for their final and the last time.
Naruto had been rendered unconscious because of the aftershocks of the last attack, but he woke up after sometime and his entire being was aching. He felt like he himself was massive bruise and at present there was nothing in this world which could increase his pain but he was wrong about that.
The second he saw Sayuri's condition, a gasp came out of his mouth. Her entire right arm and some part of her internal organs were totally annihilated by her last jutsu. She bleeding from her mouth and severed right limb uncontrollably. In other words, her situation is worse than Naruto's situation..
Naruto barely had any strength to run towards her and help, so instead he decided to crawl toward the girl. After a minute of tiresome work he finally reached Sayuri.
"Just hold on Sayuri, Sakura will arrive any minute and she will heal you." Naruto wheezed out.
After hearing that Sayuri stared chuckling.
"Ha... ha... ha... haahahhaah... come on Naruto you and I both know.. I am already a dead.. woman."
Sayuri started to cough because of all the blood in her mouth.
"Cough-cough- Anyways this is what I always wanted, this is what I deserve for everything I've done in my life."
Naruto's eyebrows rose when he heard the last statement.
"What?"
"You- were... always like Itachi... moving ahead of me, guiding me... and never breaking our special connection... with each other... all this time Naruto I envied your strength... your drive to do anything for... your precious person and even today was no different. Your strength... surpassed mine. You protected me till the end. I should have been... the one to guide you, after all I am older than you... but I will make necessary amends for you and... our precious peace, which we achieved after spilling so... Much blood."
Naruto was crying openly now, his tears spilled on Sayuri's face. He was holding pressure on the severed limb so that it didn't bleed out.
"Just stop talking Sayuri! I beg you!" Naruto desperately demanded from his friend, he didn't wanted her to die.
Kurama was watching a live feed from his cage but he didn't want to interrupt his goodbye speech even though she was an Uchiha.
"Since you won, I will free the Bijuus"
"You're not going to die! Wait for Sakura to heal you then you can do it!" Screamed Naruto with desperation and pain in his voice.
"Naruto... all this vicious circle known as the Curse of Hate started centuries ago because of that damned ancestor of mine, Indra. He was the reason it all started, he was a fool to be manipulated by Zetsu, not that I can insult him for that, after all I was manipulated my whole life, by my hatred, envy and resentment, by Orochimaru, by Obito... and while I'm not blaming him for my actions that were my choices, it all started because of that bastard. So now that you have opened my eyes, it is entirely fair that I end all this hatred, for the mistakes of that damned Indra, for the mistakes of the Uchiha clan and above all... for my own mistakes. And I'm going to start this by releasing the Bijuus... I was one to cage them so I will be the one to free them, Naruto." told Sayuri while forming the signs to relase the Tailed Beasts.
"If you are so stubborn then I also won't survive." said Naruto pouring his remaining chakra in Sayuri.
"Naruto, stop it."
"No!"
They bickered but Naruto refused to move resulting in his charka levels to go down past critical.
Suddenly Sayuri started guffawing loudly.
"That is why I adore you dobe, now look at you both of us will perish here, the most powerful shinobi in the history to die from chakra exhaustion... hahahaha! Since you are so stubborn I vow to you that no one will use our bodies for nefarious purposes. If worms like Orochimaru and Danzo desecrated the corpse of Hashirama Senju because of their greed, what prevents the same from happening to our bodies after our deaths? I will not let this happen to us Naruto. I will use Kirin and destroy every atom of our bodies." Whispered Sayuri.
Suddenly she asked to Naruto While holdin the last seal
"Promise me Dobe if you somehow survive this ordeal you will come and find me. I never deserved you in my life, but even so after everything that happens I am still a selfish woman, even if I don't deserve you I can't imagine my life without you."
"I promise... Wherever you are I will find you... as long as I exist I will never leave you alone in the darkness again." whispered a determined Naruto
"I guess this is goodbye."
"No... we will meet again."
Just as Naruto promised the entire Valley was illuminated as Kirin descended upon broken heroes as lightining completely eradicating any trace of their bodies' existence and destroying the Valley of the End.
-Naruto's Pov-
Suddenly Naruto woke up with an intense pain in his chest while remembering those events.
"I will find you... wherever you are, just wait for me... I'll find you. I will train hard so I can protect you from darkness... a vow I failed to keep from last time."
These wee words whispered by him as his eyes glowed in darkness in sanctity of his room. Words which will cause a maelstrom in future. After his vow he went to take a start upon his training after all time waits for nobody.
Hours later, as he was in training grounds running laps to build up his speed, suddenly he saw a maid coming towards him, he stopped his laps and found that his new father was waiting for him in his study. He told the maid that he will meet him after taking a bathing and donning upon new clothes which would have surely cost a medium family entire year he went to see Lord Phenex.
"Greeting Lord Phenex."
"Greeting Naruto, you can call me father in private after all I am your father now."
"Yes, lor-father."
"Now listen closely child, you might know that we are a neutral clan since times immemorial, but I fear that this time Hrdost will like to use this opportunity to pave way to tie us in camp, now while it is not your mistake, the fool is just a whining brat... I want to warn you that while war is not raging on paper, sneak attacks are present every day and as people outside our family think of you as a recovering sick child they may take the chance to perform a kidnapping on you, that is why you should have someone tailing behind you all times till you prove yourself capable, while I don't like hampering other's freedom it is for your own benefit, got it?"
"Yes father." replied while thinking that the reputation of Phenex is well deserved they love their freedom while he could have not told me, or just ordered me he called me and told me in details the reason of his type of familial love is very precious.
"Now as you have passed the ritual I would like that for one week you don't put an strenuous work so that your body adapt to your new changes."
"Yes, father... I will keep it in mind, can I study in library then?"
"Yes, you can do so, now go. I have certain matters to resolve." Albrecht said while shooing Naruto out.
While he acts as strict, Naruto can see the love in his eyes. That day while on his way to library, Naruto vowed that he will not let any harm or mistreatment come to the Phenex clan as long as he is breathing. He will make sure they are proud of his achievements.
-Somewhere in 7th Heaven-
"Are you sure it will work, Michael? Will this soul be able to withstand the pressure and adapt to divine power to become a Seraph?" asked a worried Gabriel while seeing Michael working to give the soul they found in the Heaven while investigating the dimensional gap portal that had mysteriously appeared and soon disappeared by expelling this strange soul.
"I am sure sister, after all a soul who can survive for who knows how long in the dimensional gap is also fit to be a Seraph, I feel something interesting in this soul, I believe that if we create a Seraph like us using this soul, we can have a new sibling that can help us. In addition to losing a father, we suffered a lot of losses in the last war... a new Seraph is going to be very important for us... and I feel that we can trust this soul." Michael told Gabriel seriously.
He further continued then Gabriel didn't look convinced that.
"I know that you are worried for the soul but you should have some faith in me and if the soul can't handle pressure then system will stop feeding holy power to soul leading the process to stop and soul will have the number of wings it can handle. You know we are reeling from a shortage of higher winged angels, while souls which come to heaven are plenty, most of them are pacifists that can't handle pressure of being an angels and most will fall, those who can most have potential of being a low level angel, and we are still way behind from converting humans to angels so we don't even have advantage of Sacred Gear, I won't push the sacred Gear in the soul right now, first we will see if it can handle divine power of Seraph and after it system will tie the Gear to it's soul. I know you are worried for this soul, but please believe me after all you personally checked the soul and you can see it is one of the most powerful you have ever seen."
"Very well... I will believe you, Michael but keep it in mind if the soul is damaged I will never forgive you."
"Very well."
After finishing their conversation both punched archaic numbers and spoke in Divine tongue after that they closed the room and sealed it with strongest seals they know and the soul inside lay there not to be disturbed for a decade as it begin absorbing the divine power at a slow pace which was increasing exponentially with time.
So how was chapter guys? I know it was short I will make the next one longer I just wanted this chapter to focus on them... I made Sasuke a female in this chapter sue me. I just like her character.
