Naruto stood before the half transformed Jinchuriki of the one tails. He noticed that there were too many people around for him to go all out. "Almighty Push!" Naruto said as he sent the Ichibi flying across the village. Before anyone could react, Naruto left in pursuit after Gaara.
Kakashi watched with his eye going wide. "Suki! Make sure nobody goes after Naruto! They'll only get in his way!" Kakashi called out as he drew a kunai to kill a sound ninja that came charging at the masked man.
"Okay, sensei." Suki said as ran over to a few civilians. "Come with me." Suki ordered and without question, they followed her. She was trying to move at a steady pace but with older civilians, it was slightly difficult. Suki saw Neji, Shino, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Kiba.
"Hey, it's Suki!" Hinata called out.
"Good, take these guys with you. They'll be safer." Suki said as she drew her white blade.
"Where are you going? where is Naruto?" asked Hinata.
"Naruto is fighting that sand guy, Gaara. Make sure nobody goes in his direction. I'm going to look for more civilians that are trapped." Suki said as she ran towards another direction.
With Naruto
Both Naruto and Gaara were towards the south side of the village. As the half transformed Jinchuriki recovered himself, he could only glare sadistically at the blond before him. "Your blood! Mother wants your blood!" Gaara cried out.
Naruto looked unimpressed. "Sand, a form of the magnet release. I could absorb this and add it to my arsenol." Naruto silently thought as he went through a series of hand seals. "Wood Release - Four Prison Pillar!" Naruto shouted as a massive prison of wood formed around the red head.
"Do you think this enough to contain me?" shouted Gaara as he let out a massive demonic scream. To Naruto's surprise, Gaara was able to break out the prison. However, he also went through a change. Instead of half of his body being covered in sand, Gaara was fully covered in it.
"So, you really are a monster, huh?" Naruto asked.
"Like you're any different. I know what you are, brother!" Gaara called out as he sent a wave of sand at the blond.
"Dark Release - Inhaling Maw!" Naruto shouted as he absorbed some of the sand.
"What's this? How? How did you a absorb my chakra?" asked Gaara.
"It's called the rinnegan. I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm nothing like you. All you care about is destroying and killing. I'm nothing like you." Naruto said. "Almighty Push!" The blond shouted and the Jinchuriki went flying through the village walls.
"That boy, he's the container of my older brother. You must be cautious. Having the rinnegan alone is difficult enough. He's got the power of the rinnegan and the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Be on guard, child." said a demonic voice in the back of Gaara's mind.
"Yes, mother." Gaara said.
Naruto stood before the red head. "I guess it's time to test my new advanced element." Naruto said as he held his arm out. Similarly to his Flashing Sphere, a ball of blue chakra formed in Naruto's hand along with strange marking across it.
Naruto charged at Gaara and released the the jutsu that he called the Magnet Release - Sealing Chakra Ball. The impact caused a massive explosion around the area. Half of Gaara's body was nearly destroyed sand that had marking on it.
"Blood! You've drawn my blood!" Gaara shouted as a massive sphere of sand formed around the one tails Jinchuriki. Naruto saw this and began focusing his rinnegan.
"Planetary Devastation." Naruto said as he created a black sphere that drew Gaara and his sphere to it, along with the walls and trees around him. "It's over." Naruto said as a massive explosion occured when he finished the jutsu. However, what happened next, the blond wasn't ready for.
With Hiruzen
The third hokage was breathing heavily. Orochimaru had summoned Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Minato Namikaze to fight against his former sensei. "Orochimaru, you've defilled the graves of the dead! For that, I will show you no mercy!" Roared Hiruzen.
"Oh, come now, sensei. I though you'd be happy to see your loved ones again. If you want, I can bring back Biwaki." Orochimaru with a sinister chuckle.
"You'll pay for that!" Hiruzen shouted as he went through a series of hand seals. "Fire Release - Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" the hokage shouted as he released multiple bullets of fire from his mouth that transformed into dragons.
"Water Release - Water Formation Wall!" Tobirama shouted as a massive wall of water protect himself, his brother, Minato, and Orochimaru. "I'm sorry, Hiruzen. You need to figure out another way to defeat us." Tobirama said.
It was then, the five men noticed a strong sensation of demonic chakra. When they looked, they were stunned to see the Ichibi standing tall, facing off against a single shinobi. "Damnit! We need Jiraiya to seal the demon away!" Hiruzen declared.
"Oh, no worries. I'm sure young Naruto's rinnegan will be more than enough. The village has already reached the end of its life. Anything more is considered a bonus, haha." Orochimaru said with an evil smile.
"Naruto? What do you mean by that, Orochimaru?" Minato asked.
Hiruzen sighed. "Minato, I'm so sorry... Your son, his life hasn't been the best. A few years ago, he was met by a stranger than implanted the rinnegan into him. Since then, your son has become powerful and could probably destroy this village if he ever considered it." Hiruzen said.
Minato sighed. "I wanted the village to look at my son as the hero for keeping the nine tails sealed away." Minato said.
"I promise, Minato. I will make sure the village see's NAruto in a different light after this batle." Hiruzen said.
"Now, now, sensei. You don't want to go on making promises that you cannot keep, do you?" asked Orochimaru in a taunting tone.
"I will not allow my home to fall! I'll end this battle, now! Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Hiruzen shouted before going through a series of hand seals. "Uzumaki Fuinjutsu Forbidden Art - Summoning of the Shinigami! Reaper Death Seal!" Hiruzen shouted as a massive creature with white hair and purple skin appeared with white robes and a massive kunai in its hands.
"What? The shinigami? How? That's impossible!" Orochimaru roared. "Quickly! Kill him! Kill him now!" Orochimaru roared as he began to feel fear.
"Haha, it's over for you, Orochimaru. I've already sealed my fate. I shall become part of the Shinigami's collection of souls. But I'm not going to hell alone, I'm taking you and my brothers with me!" Hiruzen shouted as each of the shadow clones had grabbed hold the hokages and Hiruzen grabbed Orochimaru.
With Naruto
"Damnit, that thing... It's too much. I can't possibly defeat that with my current level of chakra." Naruto muttered.
"Free! I'm finally free!" shouted the Ichibi.
"You truly are pathetic... To think, my host is cowaring from the one tails." said a dark and demonic voice from Naruto's mind.
"Who is there? Who are you?" Naruto called out.
"I'm inside of you. Take my power, you're no stranger to it. Use it to defeat my brother, or I'm afraid your home will become destroyed." said the dark voice.
"I don't know what's going on. But I'll take whatever power I can get." Naruto said before he snapped out of his thoughts by Suki. "Suki? What are you doing here? It's too dangeorus!" NAruto shouted.
"I don't care. You need my help. Now, come on." Suki said as she activated both her sharingan and the curse seal that's on her neck. "We'll take him out together." Suki said as she drew the blade of the white fang.
"You insects will die!" shouted the Ichibi as a massive wave of charged at them.
"Almighty Push!" Naruto shouted as he sent the wave of sand back to the tailed beast. However, it seemed the Ichibi was much to powerful to be defeated by its own attack.
"Die!" The Ichibi shouted as massive spears of sand began piercing through the ground. Thanks to her sharingan, Suki was able to avoid each strike and release a bolt of lightning to them. Naruto managed to use his Ice release to knock the spears away.
"Suki, I need you to go back to the village. Get Kakashi sensei, Guy sensei, Asuma sensei, and anyone else that you can find. I'm going to need backup." Naruto said.
"I'm not leaving you here! I've already lost everything before! I won't go through that nightmare again." Suki said as she formed a chidori in her hand. "I'll protect you and this village!" Suki shouted as she charged and dodged the spears of sand going for her.
"No! Suki!" Naruto roared as his eyes flickered from purple to red, a massive burst of crimson chakra formed around his hand. He pulled Suki back and threw her away towards the village. The blond haired boy was on all fours as he was growling intensly. Crimson chakra started to form around his body along with his teeth and nails becoming much sharper.
"Naruto?" asked Suki as passed out and the curse mark receeded back.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Naruto roared as he charged directly at the Ichibi.
"Bring it on, Kurama!" shouted the Ichibi.
"Shukaku!" Naruto roared with a demonic tone. He gathered a massive ball of black chakra and connected it against the demons' face. A loud scream could be heard from the Ichibi.
"Kurama! I'll kill you for that!" the Ichibi shouted as it tried to recover. However, Naruto was much to fast for it to trap him inside a ball of sand. As the blond charged, he extended his arm and a massive fist of crimson chakra delivered a massive blow to Gaara's body.
It seemed that if Gaara received too much damage, the the Ichibi would suffer as well. Naruto roared with anger as he prepared to deliver one final blow towards the sand demon. "It's over!" Naruto shouted as he threw himself and wrapped his fox arms around Gaara and yanked him from Shukaku's control.
"No! I just got here!" shouted the Ichibi as its body turned to sand and broke apart. Leaving an severely damaged and tired Gaara.
Naruto was breathing heavily. The only thing on his mind was to eliminate Gaara as he was a threat to Suki. He slowly began to move forward towards the red head with a sinister smile.
"No, get away from me... Leave me alone!" shouted Gaara as he felt fear for the first time in his life.
Suki managed to wake up as she saw the massive demon was no longer their. However, she saw Naruto moving towards Gaara with the intent to kill him. While Suki didn't care much for others, she didn't want Naruto to fall into the darkness of killing someone that couldn't defend themselves.
"Naruto! Stop it! This isn't you!" Suki shouted as she ran with all her might.
Naruto turned and growled at Suki, clearly being influenced by the nine tailed fox. When he saw the fear in her eyes at how he was being, the chakra suddenly vanished and his crimson eyes turned purple, once more. He then dropped to a single knee.
"What the hell was that?" Naruto asked himself as Suki held him tightly.
"Naruto, I was so worried." Suki said as she cried into her blond lover.
"I'm okay. I need to go and help the hokage. This isn't good. I can feel that he's losing greatly." Naruto said as he broke apart from Suki's embrace.
"No, Naruto. You're in no condition to fight. You need to rest." Suki called out.
"The hokage is one of the few people who was there for me. I have to atleast try and help him." Naruto said he used his Swift Release - Shadowless flight and proceeded to the chunin exams tower.
"With Hiruzen
The hokage was breathing heavily, he managed to pull out the souls of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Minato. The final person was Orochimaru and the snake sannin was putting up one hell of a fight.
"Sarutobi! You have used up too much chakra. You can't possibly hope to pull my soul away." Orochimaru said as he was using all his might to stop his soul from being taken.
"It seems you're right... However, I can do more damage than taking your soul." Hiruzen said as he gave a sharp smile.
"What do you mean? Tell me!" Shouted Orochimaru before the two men saw a familiar blond haired boy.
"Grandpa!" Naruto shouted. The hokage turned his head and smiled sadly at the young boy he considered a grandson.
"Hello, Naruto." Hiruzen said.
"Gaara has been defeated! I'm here to help you take out this bastard!" Naruto shouted he held his hands up.
"Wait, Naruto. There is no point. I've already made the deal with the shinigami. When this jutsu ends, my soul will be swallowed up inside his stomach." Hiruzen said.
Naruto's eyes went wide. "No, no, no! Not you, old man! You're all I've got! You can't leave me!" Naruto shouted as tears fell down his face.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't do more for you, my boy." Hiruzen said as he ordered the shinigami to slice the soul from Orochimaru's arms. "It's done... Thank you, Naruto. Please, keep the will of fire ignited and carry my will and change this ninja world." Hiruzen said as he slowly passed out and his soul was no longer present.
"Curse you, Sarutobi!" Orochimaru shouted as his white colored arms turned purple. "We must leave, now!" Orochimaru ordered and his sound ninja four followed the instructions by releasing the barrier.
"No! I'll kill you all!" Naruto roared. "Wood Release - Deep Forest Creation!" Naruto roared as a massive forest appeared on top of the chunin exam tower. The anbu and jonin around couldn't believe that Naruto Uzumaki, the demon brat, could perform the first hokage's jutsu.
Caught inside, Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru, and Jirobo. The five of them found the chakra being absorbed from their body along with their vital organs being utterly destroyed. Had it not been for Suigetsu's quick arrival, Naruto would have been able to destroy the snake sannin.
"Grandpa!" Naruto roared as he let out a burst of red and blue chakra. By the time it was over, the blond passed out from using so much chakra at once. Kakashi, Suki, Asuma, Anko, Kurenai, Genma, and Guy arrived to the sight. Passed out on the ground, Naruto's body was holding on to the hokage. Even while being knocked out, Naruto refused to let the old man go.
"Anko, what's the report?" asked Kakashi as he lowered his headband to cover his sharingan.
"The sand and sound ninja have begun to retreat. It seems that when the Sunagakure Jinchuriki was defeated, the sand pulled out from the invasion. From my understanding, many of the sound ninja rather die than run away, though, some of them have left. What's the report here?" asked the purple haired woman.
"I can answer that. Lord Third engaged Orochimaru and was trapped inside a barrier. He used some kind of summoning jutsu to revive the first, second, and fourth hokage. Lord Third then used a jutsu that seemed to take the souls of his opponents and seal them away. That was then, Naruto appeared. Lord Third somehow harmed Orochimaru great and when he tried to escape, Naruto performed the first hokage's Great Forest Creation jutsu. The bodies of the sound ninja that put up the barrier were destroyed. However, it seems that a strange man with a water bloodline rescued and escaped with Orochimaru." said the anbu wearing a bird mask.
"I see. Alright, we need to get Naruto to the hospital. I want a full squad of anbu around him at all times. No visitors other than Asuma, myself, Lord Jiraiya, and Suki Uchiha." Kakashi said in a stern tone.
"Yes, captain." said the anbu in the bird mask. He tried to grab Naruto but found the boy's grip wouldn't let go of Hiruzen's dead body. Everyone sighed as they looked at the blond with a sad gaze. It was no secret that Naruto and the hokage had been close.
Sunagakure (Few days later)
"Baki, come now! I've found a discovery!" shouted one of the Suna jonin.
"What is it?" asked the jonin in irritation.
"It's better if you see it for yourself." the man said as they left the area.
Inside a deep hole that went underground, the Kazekage along with his two guards were found, dead. "Curse you, Orochimaru! We were tricked and betrayed. Quickly, call the council together. We need to discuss the situation." Baki ordered and without question, the sand ninja left.
Inside the Kazekage's home, Temari and Kankuro were resting as their youngest brother, he was sitting in the center of the room. "How? How did Naruto Uzumaki defeat me? What gave him the strength he needed?" Gaara asked himself.
"You're truly a fool. Were you so overwhelemed by your lust for blood that you couldn't see it?" asked the Ichibi.
"What are you talking about, mother?" asked Gaara.
Shukaku sighed. "Boy, it's time that I reveal to you the truth. I'm not your mother, I'm the one tailed Ichibi, known as the sand spirit, Shukaku. You're a Jinchuriki. Naruto Uzumaki, he is just like you, alone. However, it seemed that when it came to protecting that girl of his, he managed to tap into power that not even I was prepared to deal with." Shukaku said.
"You mean, he was fighting to protect someone?" asked Gaara.
"That's what it seems. I don't personally understand it and I'm sure that Kurama doesn't either. However, that boy was willing to do whatever it took to protect someone precious to him." Shukaku said before he decided to rest up.
Gaara sat in the center with his eyes wide. He then looked at his two siblings, they flinched at his gaze. "Why? Why are they afraid of me?" Gaara asked himself as he stood up and walked over to his siblings.
"Gaara? Are you alright?" asked Kankuro.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Temari asked.
To their surprise, Gaara gave them both a tight hug. "Temari... Kankuro... I'm sorry... I'm sorry for how I treated you both." Gaara said as a tear fell from his eye.
Temari and Kankuro looked at each other confused. "It's alright, Gaara. We're here, you are our little brother." Temari said with a soft smile as she hugged her brother back.
"Yeah, don't worry about. Everything is going to be alright." Kankuro said softly as he patted his younger brother's back. Baki was about to enter, but he decided to give the siblings a minute to themselves. He smiled softly at the sight before them.
"Lord Fourth, you'd be proud of your son, right now." Baki said silently.
