Hey, everyone my recovery is going alright. Just need to wait for a few more days and I can get the stiches out. Then 2-4 weeks I can use dentures and eat solid food again.


(Play Under Heaven Destruction Vocal Version by Jason and Daisuke Ishiwatari)

The Masked Man throws a punch, but Yuto blocks it and throws him aways before Tracing a few Shurikens and with a thought shoots them out at him. The Masked Man takes out a couple Kunais and deflects them.

"Steel Style: Sword Hell Jutsu!" Yuto slams his hands on the ground causing swords to erupt from the ground and head towards the Masked Man. The Masked Man counters by releasing a large amount of Chakra from his palms creating a repulsion force on the swords causing them to shatter.

"Giant Flame Rasengan Bomber!" Yuto throws a Giant flame coated version of the Rasengan Bomber at the Masked Man.

"Great Rasen Ring!" The Masked Man throws a super powered version of his Rasen Ring at the Giant Flame Rasengan Bomber. Both hits each other and creates a massive explosive.

"Steel Style: Wrath of the Dragon Jutsu!" Yuto creates a massive dragon that looks like Godzilla made out of boiling liquid steel and has it attack the Masked Man.

"Ultra-Big Ball Rasen Ring!" The Masked Man creates a massive Rasen Ring and throws it the dragon causing another explosion.

"Mach punch!" Yuto powers up his fist and lands a devastatingly haymaker at the Masked Man's face causing it to start breaking.

"You bastard! You broke my mask!" The Masked man said angerly as his broken mask falls off one half at first before it was followed by some shards and the other half.

"Who the hell are you!?" Yuto said shocked by the Masked Man's face as it look exactly like his only he has black hair. The lookalike evilly smirks.

"I'm Menma Uzumaki-Namikaze." Menma said.

"Why the hell do you look like me!?" Yuto demands.

"What do you mean?" Menma questions causing Yuto to take off his visor shocking Menma.

"What the hell?!" Menma exclaims.

"Wait Menma Uzumaki-Namikaze. Your parents wouldn't happened to be Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki would they?" Yuto asks.

"Yeah, they are." Menma said glaring at Yuto at the mention of his parents.

"That's a weird coincidence. My birth parents are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki." Yuto said. "Your birthday wouldn't happened to be October 10th, right?"

"It is." Menma said confirming Yuto's question.

"Triplets or a clone? No that's not it. Wait I think I got it now." Yuto said as it hits him like a lightning bolt.

"You are from an alternate version of my world." Yuto said as he places his visor back on his face.

"So, what? You're going to die here!" Menma said as the defeated Masked Beings that turned into masked foxes turns into beams of blackish red Chakra and slams into him.

"Rasengan!" Menma creates a Rasengan and charges at Yuto.

"Back off! I have no intention of just letting you kill me or anyone here!" Yuto yells as he dodges Menma's attack and then Yuto kicks Menma away.

"You think you can protect them from me!? Don't make me laugh!" Menma said as he laughs madly as he gets back up and he throws a few Shurikens at Yuto who counters by tracing a few swords and firing them at the Shurikens deflecting them.

"I will protect them all. No matter what." Yuto said glaring at Menma.

"Just try and stop me!" Menma said as a blackish red Nine Tails Chakra Cloak covers him before getting darker as bones appear on him as six tails flare out.

"6 tails." Yuto said quietly as he can tell Menma has a lot of power. Yuto went into his 6 tails state as well. They then clash.

"Giant Rasengan!" Yuto creates a Kurumi enhanced Giant Rasengan and slams it against Menma and launches him away before Memna uses his tails to land safely, but he was still hurt.

"Damn you!" Menma growls but an evil idea pops into his head.

"Take this!" Menma said as he launches a Tail Beast Ball but not at Yuto but at his parents, Zed, Ellen, Dracula, Mavis, and Saya!

"NO!" Yuto yells out as he uses the Hiraishin's mark he had placed on Ellen just in case for emergencies to quickly get in front of them.

"Oh, come forth The Seven Rings that Cover the Burning Heavens: Rho Aias!" Yuto chants as he brings forth the shield while channeling as much Chakra as he can to power it.

"Damn it!" Yuto yells out in pain as the shield's petals crumbles to three causing severe gashes to appear on his body that was quickly healed by Kurumi's Chakra Coat.

"How can you do such a thing? How!?" Yuto yells in anger.

"Because I can." Memna said with no shame.

"That's it. I've had enough of you!" Yuto said as he brings out the Legendary Sword and changes it to its Taydenite form and starts to channel a huge amount of Kurumi's Chakra into it. "It's time to take you down!"

"Just try it!" Menma said as he charges up another Tailed Beast Ball.

"Wrath of the King!" Yuto fires out a massive fast-moving slash of Chakra at Menma who fires his Tailed Beast Ball at it. The moves clash for a second before Yuto's attack consumes Menma's Tailed Beast Ball before hitting Menma.

"GAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Menma screams in pains as he was flung back, and his Chakra Cloak disappears from him and there was a huge gash on his torso. He lands painfully on the ground as pain comes out of his wound. He carefully gets up before coughing out some blood.

"How? How did you beat me!?" Menma said.

"I can tell you, but I doubt you would actually care or really listen to me." Yuto said as he walks up to Menma slightly panting.

"Damn you." Menma snarls.

"Whose fault is it that things ended up like this? Coincidence? An accident? Fate? There's no such thing as fate. It's simply a combination of one circumstance and the next. And who is it that creates those circumstances? Who is it? It's you." Yuto said looking at Menma wondering how the hell a version of him became like this.

"Grrr…. Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!" Menma screams angrily as he was transported away by a mysterious shadow.

"What just happened!?" Yuto exclaims in shock as that shadow was too fast to see.

"I don't know but I have a bad feeling about it." Oda said with a frown as she went towards Yuto's side.


(With Menma far far away from Yuto's group)

"Who are you?" Menma questions looking at the person who got him out of there.

"I am Sid a member of Team Dark. If you want the power to defeat him serve under me and I will grant your wish." Sid said.

"Tch and why should I believe you?" Menma questions with a disbelieving glare.

"Good question. Let me show you." Sid said as he fires a blast at several mountains causing them to explode shocking Menma with the Black Nine Tails cowering in fear within the seal.

"Does that answer your question?" Sid asks with a smirk.


(Back with Yuto's group)

"Daddy!" Ellen cries out as she runs up to her father and jumps into his arms tightly hugging him as tears start pouring from her.

"Ellen are you ok!?" Yuto asks worried about his daughter.

"I'm ok daddy but it was really scary." Ellen said.

"Yeah, I know it was. But its ok now. That man is gone for now. If he ever shows up again, I'll make sure he doesn't ever again so please don't worry anymore alright?" Yuto said reassuring Ellen.

"It's alright sweetie. We're all alright now." Oda said rubbing Ellen's back as everyone else came up to them.

"Are you guys alright?" Yuto asks.

"Yeah, we're fine. Still can't believe that man was an alternate version of you." Mavis said with a frown.

"It shocked me too. I can't help but wonder how he came to be like that and how close I was to becoming like him." Yuto said with a frown.

"We might never know." Lucy said frowning as well.

"We should probably get out of the cold and start healing your guys' injuries." Kagome said with some concern.

"We can go to my house." Saya said.

"Thanks. Saya." Yuto said as Saya leads them to her house.


(Three days later)

After Yuto and the girls were treated from their injuries, they and the rest of their group decided to stay with Saya for a few more days since they needed some time to deal with the fact that Memna was an alternate version of Yuto. It was the afternoon and Yuto was building a snowman with Ellen. Saya was staring at them with an unfocused stare.

"Are you ok?" Kurumi asks her as she sits down next to her causing her to refocus herself.

"Yes, I'm fine." She said unconvincedly.

"You do know I have Shinobi training, right? I can tell when someone not skilled is lying." Kurumi said causing Saya to sigh in defeat.

"Fine. I was thinking about Yuto." Saya admits truthfully.

"Thinking about him why?" Kurumi asks having a feeling on why Saya was thinking about Yuto.

"During the short time you all have been here I haven't felt as alone as I been when my mother died and with Yuto my heart's starts racing when I'm with him. I also enjoy spending time with Ellen and sometimes I catch myself thinking of her like she's my child." Saya admits.

"You're in love with him." Kurumi said with a slight smile.

"W-w-what!?" She said in shock with a massive blush.

"Easy. Yuto is a good guy. The kind of guy lots of women can fall for." Kurumi said

"But he already has seven girls. I don't think I can be with him." Saya said.

"We have no way of knowing what awaits us in the future, so all we can do is live in the present and do what we think is the right thing at this exact moment, and if we find out it was all a mistake, then that's when we'll waste time moaning and crying about it, and then we'll go right on to the next thing." Kurumi said to Saya.

"So, if you want to be with Yuto why not take a chance? Yuto is a great guy. I've been with him since the day he was born and seen him grow up into the man he is today." Kurumi said as she remembers everything Yuto went through.

"But would he accept me?" Saya asks Kurumi.

"I know he will." Kurumi said smiling.

"Then I will do it." Saya said with determination.

"Then go right up to that man and tell him your feelings." Kurumi said before a mischievous smile appears on her face. "Don't forgot to kiss him."

Saya blushes as she walks up to Yuto.

"Yuto, can we speak in private?" Saya asks him.

"Sure." Yuto said as they walk away from the group.

"So, what did you need to talk about?" Yuto asks curious as to why she wanted to talk privately.

"My mother once told me one day I will meet someone who will be the one I will one day fall in love with and marry. She told me his blood is iron, and his heart is glass and after meeting you and seeing what kind of person you are I realize that it was you who she said." Saya said as her blush deepens, and Yuto develops a blush as well.

"A-are you sure it's me?" Yuto asks stuttering a bit.

"Yuto even though it's been a short while since we met, I have already fallen in love with you." Saya said smiling as she kisses Yuto on the lips. Yuto kisses her back and deepens the kiss. Eventually they pull back needing air.

"I guess this means I have another queen." Yuto said.

"Yeah, it does." Saya said smiling.
