AN: LOT OF GRAMMAR FIXED AGAIN. SORRY ALL. NOW: Thanks for the support with all of the favorites, follows and reviews. Just a quick note before I get to the reviews. I thought long and hard on this, and there WILL be major character deaths in the story. I haven't really done that before. I have had them die, but things are all better because of plot convenience such as time travel etc. No such luck this time. Now for the reviews.

Reviews

Einjeru Hatake I tried to keep it lighthearted and funny where I could, but know... this story will get pretty dark sometimes...

SPark681 You'll have to just keep reading. ;)

Shadow-Realm-Productions I hope I didn't throw you and everyone for a loop this chapter. A LOT happens in a little bit of time.

Now... Naruto: DaiShi

By: well...me. LOL

Chapter 2. The Noble One Eye

Wave

A fierce howl was heard as RJ went through a few different fighting kata and a new suit and helmet appeared on him. It was form fitting and purple. Almost a track suit of some kind, but not one a ridonculous' as that of what certain green spandex wearing melee specialists utilized... Said man landed back on the ground after less than two seconds in the air from whatever that transformation sequence was the ninja looked up wondering why he would use a transformation technique of some kind in such a dire situation, even one so elaborate.

Before they could ask any questions, RJ leaped up and forward calling out, "Call to the Beast Inside, Free the Wolf!" To RJ's great relief, he heard the sound of two more old friends, with much more grizzled voices, but friends none the less.

"Call to the spirit inside, Free the Tiger!" and "Call to the Spirit Inside, Free the Jaguar!"

A giant mechanical wolf appeared around RJ, and two more mechanical animals appeared in a stream above the Wolf. A Red Tiger like machine, and a Blue Jaguar. The voice inside the tiger stated, "RJ, long story short, you still seem young and spry. You've been gone for nearly 65 years, and Theo, his WIFE Lily, "he added slyly much to the old Jaguar master's annoyance, "and I are with the ancestors. Jerrod and Camille stayed behind to watch over the school with Dom who came back after years of searching for you with Fran to who wife." to which RJ allowed a brief smile under his helmet knowing his friends did okay, but was saddened they lost a few years searching for him.

Theo then said, "We can only do this once, so let's make it count. Your call carried your desire to protect through time and space. Don't know where you are, but you are NOT alone. Trust in your new allies. We can feel them near you now."

RJ smiled inside his helmet and said, "No worries my dudes. I'll keep our will of the Phai Zhau alive and honorable as I can. Now let's get to gettin.' Wolf Pride Megazord!', they finished in sync.

The shinobi jumped back in fear of the 3 giant mechanized creatures and realized just how powerful RJ really was. It terrified them to know what this one man could do with not one, but 3 massive summons, each almost as tall as those of the legendary sannin. Even Haku who wasn't from Konoha knew from legends how large some summons can become. Before they could contemplate any further, the massive beast 'MERGED!'

Kakashi knew that even at full strength, he would not have been a match for the wolf warrior. Especially if he was adept at breaking mental illusions such as genjutsu, or base hypnosis. No chance he'd be able to take him. Good thing he seemed to be on their side and willing to help Naruto. Kakashi went back to working on the seal as the three robots finished combining.

Two incorporeal figures stood on each side of the Wolf ranger. One in a similar blue suit and the other in a red suit. They moved in perfect harmony as each strike struck at the gathering form that kept trying to cover Naruto. Trying to push away the robot at each possible step but RJ and his former students were relentless in their attempts to break the orange clad teen free, but nothing seemed to work.

Sasuke was not a fan of his orange eyesore of a teammate, but something deep inside said he had to dig deep and help the loudmouth... somehow. He quietly started off toward the battle, not 100 feet away from him. He saw what appeared to be a giant black arm surround Naruto, blocking any attempts to free him. Then a much larger body quickly formed around Naruto's body with him dead center, his eyes opened and glowed a sickly shade of green.

A chorus of voices spoke from the ethereal and with each word, hope began to surge in the wolf ranger.

RJ, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. ALL OF US ARE WITH YOU. MASTERS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY' the last word he felt from his 3rd student Lily. "JUNGLE PRIDE ULTRAZORD POWER: INFINITE CHARGE!"

"Focus on the outer armor so we can chip it away and save Naruto. Let's be careful, but let's get er' done." RJ ordered.

With those few words, a large white mechanized rhinoceros led a fleet of nearly 10 zords from the sky. They all started to come together as the WPM (Wolf Pride Megazord) leaped into sky and joined with the rest of the zords for the first and last time in history as a single Jungle Fury ultrazord combination. The rhino landed with the rest of the zords fused to the top of it's back and/ or side. All of at once the zord amalgamation raced forward with multiple lasers firing out of the mouths of different animal spirits, as well as being struck at by different projectiles and melee weapons. The newly formed, yet still semi weak DaiShi armor appeared to be cracking slightly, but they were hesitant to use the rhino's sword nose as it might harm the innocent boy they were trying to rescue.

RJ looked down to his left and saw that Kakashi managed to finish his seal, and was waiting for the instructions on when to use it. He seemed to have incorporated it into a set of short blades. A kunai if RJ remembered correctly. He was nearly visibly trembling wanting to leap forward and try to draw out whatever evil gripped his sensei's son, but he then remembered he had his other wards with him.

"Get out of here. We'll deal with freeing Naruto. Now move. That's an order." Kakashi commanded to a duo that then deadpanned. Haku and Sasuke had just been talking with Naruto about helping each other out. There was no way they were going to leave him behind, especially after what it sounded like he was willing to do to help them. Naruto had inadvertently helped to solidify the team dynamics the WILL OF FIRE embodied.

After rolling their eyes, Sasuke and Haku asked nearly simultaneously: "How can we help?"

While annoyed at having his order ignored, he couldn't help but feel proud of Sasuke, and a bit more trust toward Haku. He gave off an exaggerated sigh, and said, "just add as much chakra to the ground where my foot is. I will try to utilize it to add some extra umph to the seal on these kunai with the extra chakra."

'I will never release the boy. This vessel is mine! And with the power of this accursed fox here as well... I will use his power to rule this world as the Phai Zhau power rangers denied me the last world I inhabited. I don't feel but one Phai Zhau master here. The others are but a faint imprint of the past. This world is mine to mold in my image. This boy fights me even now, but he is young, and inexperienced. I will wear him down, cast his mind out, and take his very soul into the darkness" The evil creature thought simply, then raises Naruto's hand and sends out a pulse.

The zords were thrown back and forced apart, pulses of electrical energy surging every few seconds. Each tried to get back up, but failed, and started to vanish one by one. The only ones that didn't were the WPM and the Rhino zord. RJ shook off his shock and jumped on top of the megazord which was standing again after a moment. He looked over at Kakashi and roared, "NOW!"

Sasuke and Haku threw their hands on the ground and threw a steady stream of chakra into ground to the immediate left and right of Kakashi. The Kunai were glowing as Kakashi crossed them, but didn't pull the enemy in. Kakashi then remembered, "He has to be attacking, or closer so the seal can draw in the energy!"

RJ didn't speak. He raced forward with his students, flipped over the glowing transparent armor Naruto was now sporting and kicked with all of their zord's might, pushing Dai'Ruto' significantly nearer to Kakashi. Bits of black energy started being drawn into the seal array.

Inside of Naruto's mindscape.

Naruto alongside his parents were now being held together with the nine tailed fox spirit with nothing between them, and very little access to their chakra at the mercy of said beast in his cage. For DaiShi knew eviscerating the child's spirit and mind would make his body that much easier to control, thus with not even a flick of his wrist, he placed the boy in a place of his nightmares.

But to the surprise of the fox, Naruto didn't back down, even without chakra as evidenced by him taking a step forward and shaking his mom's arm off him and he asked, "Why did you attack my village kyuubi-dono?" The Kyuubi sat up in preparation to kill said boy and his parents, dying be damned, but he was already far more livid at being closed off from the rest of the sewer, so he was essentially in a black room with his cage bars. Naruto's question, while being inside caused the fox to let out a laugh. Not a derisive laugh, but a full on belly laugh at the pure lunacy of the situation.

The fox then laid back down and relayed, "An Uchiha bastard took me over, and sent me to rampage. Your father there, yes father in case you don't have eyes and see you look just like the ass hat that sealed me as I tried to escape after he freed me from the Uchiha, but I had already killed so many, he couldn't chance me going on another rampage or that Uchiha limp dick coming after me again thus repeating history. I mean I was sealed in your mom, and the Shodaime hokage's wife before her. So... forgive me for making your life shitty?" the fox asked facetiously, but after a few moments, Naruto surprised everyone and said...

"Yes."

'The fwaxch?!' everyone except Naruto thought.

"I can see what you all are thinking, but being stuck in a cage for the last hundred years or so, and he had a chance to be free... I might have done the same. It also shows he is not a mindless beast. He is someone with feelings and that should be respected, not out right feared." Naruto stated carefully.

"I can feel that I am losing myself, and I can not win this fight alone. I have tried to fight with what little strength I have, and the little time my parents have left has helped, but it's not enough. I can not free us from that bastard Daishi as I am now, and I humbly ask for your strength Nine Tailed Fox-sama. I believe with the might of the great tailed fox I can overcome some wannabe demon." Naruto said honestly, but not without a touch of trying to sweet talk the fox into granting him strength to get out of this situation.

Said fox very obviously rolled his eyes but said, "You amuse me kid. My chakra is being blocked right now, but with us working together we might be able to push back and help those knuckle draggers who are fighting. I can feel a good deal of chakra being thrown around, and some energies I don't recognize."

Naruto was about to accept before he remembered, "Is there a way to use your strength without the angry feeling? I mean, it felt pretty damn good. Almost like a drug as I noticed not 6 hours ago, but I want to stay in control in case I do get free. I might be able to help turn the tides against this DaiShi super villain poser, but that won't do any good if I start killing random people after killing DaiShi."

The multi tailed spirit nodded, "Since we might die here in a few minutes should this deranged plan not work out... Names Kurama. One of the eleven sons of the one you know as the Sage of the Six Paths. No I am not messing with you. His birth children were two footed idiots, but you remind me of the slightly less annoying one Ashura." the now named Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune introduced.

Kushina and Minato were too stunned to try to stop Naruto as he walked forward and placed his fist out and the fox extended his fist like paw. The moment they touched there was an explosion of blue energy that came from Naruto, then died down to a dim warm aura around him.

A golden aura appeared around Naruto, Kurama, Kushina, and Minato. A voice spoke to Kurama and said, "It's not nice teasing your elder brother Kurama. Even an absentee one. I love you, dad misses you and the others. We got a quick note in the after life that Daishi was free. Once he got a hold of Naruto, my spirit awoke in him. I sent a message to dad and he vice versa. DaiShi... He's notorious even among those of this world's ancients. I don't have much time. I am reincarnated in this blondie, and I can't take not taking action any longer. I had my life and don't plan on trying to take over, but I can't have my brother and his... protector weak."

Kurama rolled his slightly watering eyes at the obvious barb, but it instantly confirmed his elder brother. He smiled, not thinking he would ever feel the presence of a family member again. Now knowing Naruto was literally the reincarnation of his elder brother annoyed him to high heaven. It meant Naruto would play this card every chance he got if he could.

But before he could lament further he felt a force slam on his head and Naruto grabbed his head as well and screamed out, "What the heck man?!" trying to watch his language for his parents sake. Then he and Kurama glowed gold, and a beautiful jade green, then a near neon orange. Kurama's shape changed, shrinking until it was no larger than a kunai. His, Kurama's essence started to form around the inner manifestation of Naruto.

Naruto's eyes flashed white hot for the briefest millisecond and a serpent with giant wings, a lean, yet powerfully looking body with four legs and a relatively long tail burst forward from Naruto's chest, but there was no damage.

It was a glowing a bright golden yellow with tints of red that flew around behind Naruto and grew to the size of a full on beast once more. Both Naruto who was now glowing with equal intensity stated, "Mom, dad, Kurama and I have merged our spirits. Ashura was an ass and did this without our permission, but it should be enough to get the job done. Kurama is still here with me, but now, not even he knows how to use what we have as he is no longer the nine tailed fox. We are now... the Hikari no Ryuu. It also means when I die, he dies, BUT the difference now is if he dies first, then I die as well. We are now truly united."

The inner walls started to shatter and a dark essence started to fill the air more so than it already did in the seal. Placing his hands together as if to send out a pulse of chakra, he grunted as he tried to instinctively summon something deep within. He and Kurama felt it. Something wonderful. "I need to do something quick because I have a ton of power surging while brainless is trying into keep us locked in this tiny area of the seal."

Naruto tilted his head back and angled it to ask, "You ready to do this, 'otouto?'" to which Kurama's still extremely bass voice rumbled with slight amusement but threatened, "Call me that again and I will eat you. I'll leave the fig trees alone... I might even let a...ugh, bugs live. Yeah. Bugs don't really bother me too much." to which Minato and Kushina deadpanned but could genuinely not feel a trace of evil intent toward their son, although Minato still got a slight dirty look from Both Naruto and Kurama.

Naruto felt his soul fighting, and DaiShi fighting back with an almost infinite supply of hatred. Hatred Naruto and Kurama right then decided they would never allow. The raw feelings of it... were... Horrible. Little by little Naruto was able to see outside his own eyes, but barely. He heard things like 'call to the beast inside, and Jungle Beast, and spirit of some sort of animal.

"Called to the 'beast...' I'll show them a beast Kurama scowled aloud."

Outside of Naruto's body

After a moment he managed to for a touch of control back to himself and yelled, "What the hell is taking you bozo's so long. Take him out! I will heal... I think. Sensei, send a jolt of lightning through this freak. Dattebayo!"

Kakashi couldn't help but laugh as he lowered the twin kunai and summoned his old chakra metal anbu blade from his former days as one of Konoha's elite wet work teams. He then started the hand seals for his famed assassination technique, the Raikiri.

Sasuke's mind was afire as an idea hit him. "Kakashi. Focus on the tip of the blade and send a concentrated burst of chakra. I don't know how long the metal will be able to take it, but it might give Naruto a chance to break free if you can send it as a blast from the tip of your sword."

Kakashi decided to focus the Raikiri into a spear and pointed it in a non lethal area just in case Naruto could be saved. "Raikiri javalin!" Kakashi named the move. A continuous blast of blue and white lightning danced wildly across the now closed distance until it hit the Daishi's transparent armor. DaiShi turned his attention back to the Shinobi, having just swatted away another zord strike. That lightning stung... just a bit, and now DaiShi realized he would have the same issues he had with his former host. He was not at full power.

The hit did however distract DaiShi long enough for female who'd been in hiding to step out, having forced Tazuna and his family to stay back at the house under the protection of the few Shadow clones she noted Kakashi discreetly made. Fortunately said clones were just as lazy as the original and thought it would be too much of a pain to stop her from going out. Plus she was showing a small sense of teamwork. Naruto's pink haired teammate screamed out, "Is this how a no name loser is going to become hokage? Where is your so called WILL OF FIRE you keep spouting about. I believe it when lord third talks about it, the will of fire, but from you? Where's that orange eye sore who screams about never giving up, and something about it being your ninja way?! Hell. I might have even went on a date with someone who could fight off whatever the big armored what is that, a rat looking mofo that is trying to cover your person. I thought you were a man! I guess I was right Naruto. You really are a little bitch."

Inside of Naruto's head, he had a tick mark... one that was on top of a blood vessel threatening to explode. Kushina, Minato, and even dragon Kurama were on the ground slamming their fist to on said ground in tears laughing their asses off. Naruto stood up a bit taller and screamed out from 'DaiNaru's mouth,

"You don't have to be such a 'bitch' about it Sakura-chan," 'the chan being added smartly. "Maybe I'll ask Hinata out. She's less violent and has that cute little stutter. So ha!" He joked lightly, but much to his surprise, Sasuke, Sakura, and even ever laid back Kakashi spouted, "Finally!"

DaiNaru's eyebrow rose and as a group of zords slowly prowled closer to DaiNaru, Sakura stated, "Hinata's had a crush on you for years. Why do you think I never gave you the time a day? I like this handsome Uchiha devil," she pointed to Sasuke, and for once, he cocked his head up like a chicken for dramatic and amusement affect seeing he had his teammate back for a second, then Sakura continued, "But you are a catch too, but the girls have a code. Hinata really, really likes you and would probably whip my ass if I tried to take you." Sakura embellished a bit... maybe?

Naruto's eyes nearly bulged out as then very clearly stated, "Screw this! I call to the Bea..." but Naruto found himself cut off by a mental clearing of a giant ONE tailed dragon's throat. Naruto sighed, then Roared, "I call to the Spirit Inside. FREE THE DRAGON!"

A massive surge of energy burst out of Naruto. The massive hulk busting behemoth of an armor surrounding Naruto shattered like glass and a black aura rose above it.

"I WILL NOT BE DENIED THAT WHICH I DESIRE!" the once again disembodied DaiShi raged.

"Rangers, Now!" RJ called, having stealthily brought the Zords back behind DaiShi and at an angle to avoid the ninja on the ground. Which included the barely conscious Naruto. Who's energy died back down after kicking the be'hexus out of DaiShi's incorporeal ass.

The Rhino zord charged and it's nose grew into a long bladed sword and pierced through the darkness. The rest of the zords took off and attacked from different directions, and finally all retreated after moments of relentless attacks that seemed to do nothing but piss DaiShi off further.

It seemed as if all was lost. DaiShi sent out another pulse and blasted everything that was within a one hundred foot radius away, including trees and part of the small lake they were near. Fortunately it was not enough water to cause a major tidal wave to hit the shore.

Kakashi had-had enough. He was fortunate that the combined powers Haku and Sasuke had fueled the seal he used previously, else he would not even be at a quarter strength right now. But thanks to them, he was at more than sixty five percent, while they only looked slightly worse for wear.

He glanced up at RJ and his mechanized summons and steeled himself as he made 3 small adjustments to the seal and called out, "Move!" to which RJ and the rest did so. Even Haku and Sasuke having seen the dangerous look in his exposed eye.

"I'm sorry Rin... I swore I would never use the power you're death gave me, but I must to save our sensei's son." Kakashi lifted his Hitai-ite, revealing his 3 tomoe sharingan which then transformed into three interconnected blades. He focused on the monster with all his might, using half of his remaining chakra for this one thing, and then called out, "Kamui!"

The world around the floating entity raged as it was slowly pulled into a swirly tear in the very fabric of reality. Little by little the being was drawn in until finally, there was no sign of the dark primal force.

Kakashi's eye returned to that of his normal sharingan. He lowered his Hitai-ite. RJ's Wolf zord disengaged once again as said ranger leaped to the ground, landing with a force that sent a minor shock wave.

Kakashi had nearly lowered his guard until, "Don't stand down yet. I still feel DaiShi. Whatever you did is holding him and will for a few minutes, but even now he is trying to force his way out. Otherwise I wouldn't still feel him, nor would the zords still be so antsy, as they are part of the very spirits of Phai Zhau. Do you have anything stronger possibly?" If Master Mau was here, he could have aided us with a touch of his wisdom, but If he wasn't here from the start he must be elsewhere or when helping to deal with another threat. And Lily, our yellow ranger is not here with Casey and Theo. She showed up for the Ultrazord formation, but once it was broken apart, her connection was lost, and she was sent back before they could attempt to stop Dai Shi again. He made sure one of the three chosen were taken out first. It was those three who who were the chosen ones, but it doesn't quite work with the chosen 2 otherwise they would have immediately tried that option. We just don't have the firepower to beat him without more actual Phai Zhau rangers right now." RJ explained quickly as he could.

Kakashi takes a few seconds to catch his breath after exerting himself so much on Kamui. He then pulls out his last sheet of sealing paper and states, "I'm no hokage, but my master taught me this in case I ever did take on the role. It was only to ever be used as a last resort to protect Konoha as my life will likely be forfeit to ensure victory. Well, if this thing keeps pushing forward the way it is... there won't be anyone in Konoha to stop it, and we we need to keep sandaime-sama until another hokage is groomed and strong enough for the position."

A lone tear falls as Kakashi meticulously recreates the seal his master taught him so many years ago. The last thing he ever taught Kakashi before his death. He would not let Naruto, or his other wards die because he was too afraid to.

The copycat nin prepared to do what needed to be done, but RJ grabbed his arm and said, "There's got to be another way. Sacrificing oneself for the greater good is cool and all, but from the little I have seen, your students still needs you."

Kakashi was touched by the words of the stranger but he was first and foremost a shinobi of Konoha. He vanished in a shunshin and appeared behind RJ, hitting a pressure point in his neck. The wolf ranger, not expecting this fell unconscious. An actual visible crack was seen piercing the sky. Kakashi turned to the now semi conscious Naruto and said, "If your dad is really in there, tell him I said, Thanks for everything."

Naruto, not really knowing this sensei very well didn't have a problem with him per se, nor was he super close, but he did see him as an ally in arms. It hurt his heart to hear someone sound as if they were going to die. He nodded responsibly as his parents explained what Kakashi was about to do. They warned Naruto not to interfere, even if it did hurt. This is what it meant to be ninja. This is what it meant to be a hokage.

The fissure opened wider and wider until an eye could be seen. (Think of sauron from Lord of the Rings, but in a sickly brown color). Kakashi was about to tell Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Haku to get out of there, but realized they would ignore him. He fought back small smile under his mask as he bit his finger and went though a complex set of seals until only one remained. Sakura, not really understanding, but Sasuke and Haku realized it was sort of Suicide jutsu only stood there, horrified that it had come to this, but in humble respect of what the man was about to do.

As sweat drenched his face, Kakashi finished the final hand sign and slammed his hand down on the written seal as he called out, "Shiki Fuin, Dead demon Consuming Seal!"

To Be Continued.
