Chapter 1: An Unexpected Meeting

Naruto was confused. When Kurama had said 'The Void', he was expecting something a little more… empty. Instead, there was stuff everywhere, bits of houses, trees, and some weird stuff he couldn't identify.

'Kurama, I know that we're outside of… uh…'

"Structured Space, brat, and yes, we're in a space that is not space, floating for time that's not time. We could emerge at any second, on both sides."

'Both sides, Kurama? You mean that we could leave here in a second, or a year, and emerge from here either a second or a year from when we fell, regardless of when we leave?'

"Yes, brat. And when that happens, the injuries you sustained in your fight are going to hurt like a bitch." Kurama growled, seemingly pleased with this fact.

'Whaddya mean? I don't feel injured…' Naruto looks down at himself, and immediately regrets it.

"Naruto, if I were you I'd close your eyes." Gyuki recommends. But it's too late; Naruto has the unpleasant experience of seeing himself when Space is unstructured. Simply, his body looks like it's kilometers long, with some parts contorted in ways that are simply unnatural; to the point where he can't tell if it's because of his injuries or because of the way space is messed up. He screams:

"AHHHH! GUYS! MY BODY! It's all weird and gross!" Naruto watches as he tries to make a fist, only for his fingers to clench outwards, away from his palm. He screams again, and closes his eyes. Unfortunately, this resulted in him horrifically seeing his eyelids as though they were meters away from his eyes, with all the fluids and tears sliding within the space between his eyes and their lids. He screamed again, and opening his eyes, look up at the floating waste in the void, which, while similarly twisted and wrong, is much less revolting to look at than your own body. Naruto was just grateful that Obito's Sharingan was deactivated when he saw his mangled body.

"Seriously, Gyuki? Why did you tell him to close his eyes?" Chomei reproves.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think that even his eyelids would be so disjointed from him." Gyuki apologizes. Naruto continues to stare up at the twisting debris, avoiding his body as best he can.

"Naruto, come into your mindscape. That way you won't need to endure the fluidness of Unstructured Space." Matatabi purrs. Naruto, upon hearing this, immediately agrees.

'Yeah, good idea." Concentrating, he reappears in his mindscape. Looking around, he's surprised by the change. Where once his mindscape was gloomy and damp, now it's a large field, with trees on the edge. Sitting around a small lake in the center of the meadow are the Tailed Beasts, notably not arranged in numerical order. Rather, they appear to be sitting with the others most closely related to their own elemental affinities, or the ones who would be the least likely to argue and pick a fight with them. Isobu sat with Saiken and Kokuo, Matatabi with Kurama and Son Goku. Gyuki was sitting next to Shukaku and Chomei. All of them turned to see Naruto, who was taking in the sight.

"Why… is my mindscape so… different? What's going on?"

Gyuki snorts. "You can blame Kurama for that. In what I think is the greatest example of self pity, of all time, he influenced his prison around him to make it more dismal, and horrible." Naruto turns to look at Kurama, a questioning look on his face. Looking down Kurama sighs.

"I thought you would be more… amenable to freeing me if you thought I was constantly being tortured by boredom and despair." He looks up at Naruto's affronted face. "Hey, don't blame me brat! This prison was equally despicable, no matter how it looked!"

Naruto looks down and sighs, before looking back at Kurama. "I know, and I'm sorry you had to go through it all. Once we leave the Void, you can leave if you want. You all can."

The Tailed Beasts, while not shocked, are pleasantly surprised. They all glance among each other, before coming to the silent agreement that Kurama would answer, as Naruto's first partner.

"Naruto, I think I speak for all of my brothers and sister that we won't leave you when you leave Unstructured Space. Where else would we be welcome? While you may have changed the Shinobi of your time, and that's a BIG maybe since the war was against the Ten Tails, a Tailed Beast, we have no guarantee that we'll emerge at the right place or the right time, where or when Tailed Beasts are not hunted and sealed. Chances are we'll emerge before the war, centuries after the war, or even in another dimension where there has been no war."

Naruto frowns, and looks out at the forest, thinking to himself. "Then… I've failed? I didn't bring peace, and I've left Sasuke alone to deactivate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Will he be able to? I mean, you're guys' Chakra should have dissipated around the area, so he should be able to deactivate it. Right?"

The Tailed Beasts look almost amused by his thoughts. "Naruto" says Son Goku, "Didn't you… feel it?" Naruto frowns, and looks up at Son Goku.

"Feel what?" Naruto asks, confusion mixed with fear in his voice.

Kurama interrupts, rising from his belly onto his haunches. "Brat, that last attack you did destroyed Kaguya. Utterly obliterated her. And it wasn't the Tailed Beast Bomb, although that did a number on her. It was her gray rod thing. While she was hit by the Tailed Beast Bomb, that rod completely disintegrated her; down to a molecular level. And when that happened, all our Chakra came back to the nearest concentration of it; us." Naruto is suddenly white with fear.

"Then Sasuke has no way to deactivate the Infinite Tsukuyomi! Crap, we need to get back!" He starts to run around, talking to himself, and mumbling ways to get back. "We could use the Kamui again… or the Flying Raijin… I'm sure with enough time, I could learn it… or maybe the Summoning Jutsu… the Toads could Reverse Summon me… ohhhhhhhhh." He groans, trying to think of a way home. Suddenly, Kurama barks at him.

"Naruto, heel!" Naruto freezes, and turns to look at Kurama sheepishly. "Foolish brat! Remember, the Uchiha doesn't need our Chakra; the Divine Tree, while cut down, still has a stump. He could absorb some of our Chakra from there, and even if he's too stupid to do that, which I doubt, the other Uchiha stole some of Madara's Six Paths power, which contains a smidgeon of our own power; he could be your substitute in undoing the Infinite Dream."

Naruto lets out a relieved sigh, and sits down next to the lake. "However." Naruto looks up again at Kurama, "Since you didn't notice our Chakra returning to us that means that you also wouldn't have noticed…" Kurama trails off, and looks to his siblings in concern. Naruto, worried, asks what's going on. "Guys? What didn't I notice? I felt a weird… pulling feeling in my stomach, and my hand felt like it was burning, but other than that I felt fine… I thought it was the Light Mark reacting to Kaguya's death…" The Tailed Beasts are surprised by Naruto's insight into how the Light Mark worked, and that he'd surmised that the mark would leave once Kaguya was defeated. However; "Naruto, the mark wouldn't disappear if Kaguya was dead. That mark would have been expended when you sealed her, which you didn't. Something else happened to your hand…" At that, Naruto raised his hand. Nestled in his palm was the Light Mark; however, in it's center rested a small black diamond. He raises an eyebrow, curious. Lifting his palm up to the light, he asks what it is.

"Hmmmmm. I'm not sure. I've not seen it's like before. Have any of you?" Kurama responds and questions. All of his siblings respond in the negative however. Although, Shukaku does have a thought. "It looks like a cursed seal, and feels like one too! You may be housing more than just us now, Naruto!" He says in his snarky voice. Naruto, upon hearing that, frowns.

"Then shouldn't whatever's in it be in here as well?" The Tailed Beasts tense, and look around.

They don't see anything. Kurama breaks the silence, "I don't know, I think we would've sensed whatever is sealed within that mark, but I can't be sure. We should keep an eye open; maybe whatever's sealed within will make contact: that was my approach after all." Once more, Naruto frowns.

"Too bad it's on my sun mark; I could have cut off my hand, then regrown it with the Creation of All Things Jutsu." He comments, drawing frowns from all the Tailed Beasts.

"Naruto" cautions Isobu, "I wouldn't mutilate yourself just to remove a seal; if it came from Kaguya as some last curse, then I doubt that you could just remove it. It's probably tied to your soul." The rest of the Tailed Beasts agree with Isobu, although some agree simply because they don't wish to see Naruto hurt himself. Naruto sighs, and sits down.

"Well, I don't know if this'll work, but I need a nap, so I'm gonna sleep here. Maybe I'll really sleep." At that, Shukaku perks up, and hurriedly exclaims:

"Naruto, while I was sealed in Gaara I took note of the ways he would release me, in fact I was the one who taught him most of his ninjutsu." Naruto glares up at Shukaku.

"Why would I care about that now, Shukaku? I just want to sleep, not train!" He grumbles, rolling over on his side. Shukaku snickers, and raises himself up.

"I'll have you know that I know many jutsu! I'm the great Shukaku! But the one I'll teach you know is the great Sleeping Possum Jutsu! It forces you to sleep, like a self inflicted Genjutsu." Naruto props himself up, and looks at Shukaku.

"Fine. Since I can't sleep anyways, how do I do it?" Shukaku looks elated, and starts explaining the intricacies of the jutsu; like a mad scientist, he reveals subtle genius hidden beneath a veneer of madness. His siblings are dumbstruck.

"Was… Shu always so clever?" questions Son Goku.

"I'm not sure… it's possible, I guess, but he's hidden it remarkably well for millenia." Kokuo responds, similarly astounded at the depth Shukaku had gone in the design of the jutsu. It covered everything, from the sleep timer to set for when you wanted to wake up, even to an attached sensory jutsu to wake you if someone came within a certain distance of your sleeping body. He also had other failsafes, things to prevent dreaming, a certain level of control over how much you'd toss and turn, and even a snoring mechanism. Shukaku explained why he put all these details into the jutsu:

"Well I couldn't have Gaara snoring on my forehead, or moving around, or sending me dreams through our shared connection, and I taught him the version where he would wake up forty eight hours after going to sleep to allow me perfect control!" It wasn't the masterwork of the jutsu that stilled Kurama, although he was astounded. It was the fact that Naruto understood the explanation entirely, even the complex Genjutsu portions that silenced him. Maybe it was just the way Shukaku was explaining it, but he had a feeling something else was going on. Naruto was fully comprehending the complex explanation, and he wanted to know why.

"Naruto, what would happen if you poured too much Wind Chakra into a Water Barrier Jutsu?" he asks, wanting to start small. Naruto looks up at Kurama, confused.

"The Wind Chakra would either make the Water Barrier Jutsu swirl uncontrollably… unless… since it's a Barrier Jutsu, not a Ninjutsu, the water would be uniformly distributed and would be immovable, unlike the Wall of Water Jutsu… Therefore, the Wind Chakra would freeze the Water Barrier and create… ice?" Naruto ends, trailing off. "How… did I know that?"

Kurama puffs up with pride. "Brat, you appear to have inherited the Sage's inherent knowledge of Jutsu; it must have awakened, or come with, your Six Paths Power." Naruto beams, elated.

"So… I can understand Jutsu better now?" Kurama nods, before explaining further.

"The Old Man was remarkable; he was able to perfectly understand not only Jutsu, but Chakra itself. After undergoing even further Sage training, he also came to understand the nature of the Universe. He grew wiser, and with his abilities to passively absorb Chakra with the Rinnegan, he eventually began to spend all his time in his Enlightened Sage Mode. He was calm, patient, and above all else, kind."

Naruto grew calm and happy hearing this, and eager. "Would it be possible for me to learn this 'Enlightened Sage Mode'?" He asks hopefully.

Kurama considers, and right before he can respond he's interrupted by Chomei.

"Naruto, Father spent many years learning his Enlightened Sage Power, but he didn't have the advantage you have; Ninjutsu." Naruto smiles, and quickly picks up where Chomei left off.

"Yeah! I can use Shadow Clones, and exponentially increase the rate of my training; that way I can learn Enlightened Sage Mode in days!" At that comment, Kurama rises up and roars at Naruto:

"No! You are not going to do it that way!" All the other Tailed Beasts, and Naruto, look at Kurama, confused as to why he's so hostile about it.

"Kurama, why not? It'll make it go by faster and-" Kurama interrupts Naruto with a glare, before continuing.

"The Old Man used to say that the destination was not as important as the journey, and what you learned along the way was what truly changed you. If you try and do this training the easy way, and skip out on all the hardship, then the training will have meant nothing." As he explains, the rest of the Tailed Beasts begin to understand what he means, and agree. "You cannot become enlightened in a couple days; it took the Sage years because it wasn't something you can do in one place: he had to wander, and learn about the world, meditate, and thereafter he learned about the world, and it's people." Gyuki agrees, before sending a knowing look at Kurama.

"Alright then. What better place to try and become Enlightened about the world than a place without the world?" Naruto declares, drawing proud looks from the assembled Beasts.

"Good. While you meditate outside your mindscape, you can have clones within your mindscape learn from each of us about our various skills and abilities; as well as the Jutsu we… observed our Jinchuriki use over the decades. Hell, some of us might just have interesting history lessons we can impart to you that will help with your Sage training!" Kokuo declares, rising up with the rest of his siblings. Naruto sends them all a brave smile, before yawning hugely.

"But before that, sleep!" squeals Shukaku, excited to pass on abilities that he's been saving for eons to the Inheritor of his Father. Naruto, upon seeing the excitement that the rest of the Tailed Beasts are in, smiles and pumps his fist.

"Right!" he yells, before flying through the handsigns, and promptly falling over before disappearing.

"Where'd Naru go?" asks Saiken, who was still a little befuddled by the whole thing. He was a simple creature, who wanted nothing more than to live; all this talk about advanced combat simply didn't interest him all that much.

Gyuki was the one who answered him: "When a Jinchuriki sleeps they don't appear in their mindscape. Which I learned was a good thing; eight blissful hours of silence from Bee's incessant rapping was the only thing that kept me sane each day." His siblings laugh at his small joke, before hearing a thump.

Kurama has rolled over, falling asleep himself. All the other Tailed Beasts smile, before leaving to sleep in their natural habitats; Saiken in a small cave filled with dampness, Matatabi in the bamboo woods near the forest, Kokuo in the fields next to the pond, Son Goku in a small vale modeled after Suirendo, Isobu in the lake, Shukaku in the beach near the lake, Gyuki in a rocky crag by the forest, and Chomei lies in the forest itself.

They all settle in nicely and drift off; with none of them noticing the pond begin to glow with an eerie white colour...

Naruto, Dreams

Naruto was pretty sure he was dreaming; after all, he hadn't specified that he wouldn't when using the Sleeping Possum Jutsu. And it would explain why he was floating in an orange fog with bits of gray debris around him. It was possible he was back in Unstable Space-Time, but his body wasn't contorted in strange ways. He looked around a bit, before hearing a voice.

"You… you little… child. How could someone like you best me? I was divine, I was a God…"

Naruto slowly turned, and floating before him was a battered and bruised Kaguya, and she did not look happy.

"GAH! Rabbit Bitch!" he shrieked, before thrusting his hand forwards, willing a Wind Style Rasengan into existence. Only, it didn't appear, and all he did was touch her face. He waited a few seconds before pulling back his palm.

"What the hell did you do?!" With a quick second of sensing, he realized that he didn't have his Chakra, and neither did she. 'Or my sensing is blocked…' he thinks, before Kaguya interrupts his thoughts.

"Little Storm, this is deep within your mind, in the Realm of Dreams. I've been waiting for you here; after you dropped into Timeless Space, the only place for me to wait was here, where I knew you'd come."

"So you're back for more eh? Well, even without my Chakra I'll fight you!" Naruto cries, as he rears his fist back. He casts his arm forwards, but Kaguya simply drifts behind him.

"Asura, no, Naruto Uzumaki, you have defeated me. You also took away the reason for my existence; they will no longer come." Naruto is understandably confused by this.

"What do you mean? Who won't come?" he asks. Kaguya responds haughtily;

"Members of the Otsutsuki Clan have the mission to hunt down and recover the Fruits of the Divine Trees; once I consumed it to bring peace to the world I thereafter needed to protect that world from the Clan, who would send the Hunter Three: Kinshiki, Momoshiki and Urashiki Otsutsuki. However, by removing the Chakra of the Divine Tree from the planet, you've completely removed any chance of them detecting it." Naruto looks at her, once more not completely understanding something she said.

"I have one question, and you better answer truthfully." He barks. "Why did you consume the fruit instead of going home? Why did you risk the fury of your clan?"

Kaguya smiles benevolently, crossing her arms in front of her in a priestly manner. "I sought to bring peace to the world I visited; I wanted to help all who lived there, and bring an age of bliss to them all. Unfortunately, the Clan would try to defeat me, and to ensure my complete failure, would have destroyed the world."

Naruto was flummoxed, and couldn't tell if Kaguya was telling the truth. On one hand, he wanted to believe her. The only problem was…

"You probably don't know this, but I have the ability to sense negativity." Naruto says, looking at Kaguya carefully as she blanches. "And you, you positively ooze it. I don't know if you're telling the truth, if when you started this 'crusade' you did have positive intentions. But that doesn't change that right now, all I sense from you is hatred and fury. There's not even any regret about what you've done." Kaguya is furious, and drops her mask of love and caring, becoming cold and ruthless, just as she was in their battle.

"Very well then, Asura. However, know this: I have sealed myself within you. When the time comes that you are weakened and feeble, I shall take over; and then you will die." She proclaims, widening her arms and raising them high. "Those who defeat Gods cannot remain mere mortals. I curse you, Reincarnate of Asura, I curse you to lose that which flocks those to you; I banish away your goodwill, your love, and your forgiveness!" She roars as her robes flap in an invisible wind.

Naruto glares, and despite his lack of power, stands firm. "I don't care what you say, curse, or otherwise! I've broken this curse before, and I'll do it again!"

Kaguya frowns at his proclamation, lowering her arms. "What do you mean, Child of Hagoromo? You have been cursed in this way before now?"

"'The entire Shinobi World is a world governed by hatred.' Those are the words of my Master, my Sibling Student, the man who gave me his eyes, and the words spoken by Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, the founders of the Leaf! The Pervy Sage and Nagato entrusted to me to break that curse! And I've done my very best to do so. I believe that with my fall, the loss of the Tailed Beasts, and the Defeat of the Curse of Hatred, that the Shinobi World will now no longer be ruled; it will be…" he trails off, unsure how to continue, but his conviction echoing in the void.

Kaguya was floored by his firm, unyielding conviction. Naruto didn't care if he was cursed, he didn't believe in destiny. No curse would bind him… he'd make his own path.

"Very well then, Naruto." Kaguya speaks, her voice subdued, and broken. "Maybe… just maybe… my path… was the wrong one… Hashirama…" Naruto starts as her voice suddenly becomes more masucline, and her hair turns raven black. Her body begins to split, until standing before him is Madara, clad in his black Shinobi pants. His eyes are a charcoal black, and he no longer has Hashirama's face on his chest. He looks towards Naruto, and smiles.

"Maybe… you and Hashirama were right. Maybe it is time for Shinobi like me to leave the world in peace. Farewell, young Shinobi. Wherever you go, don't make the mistake of the Sage. Don't gift a power that can be used for evil." His body turns a bright and noble blue, before he bursts into a thousand particles, dissipating in the void. "Don't make the Shinobi the villains of your new home…" his voice whispers out, before the Chakra particles fade entirely. Naruto looks awed at the sight, bowing before the Chakra.

"I won't let you down, Madara Uchiha. Despite what you did, it was your actions which united the Shinobi World. Without you, it may have taken centuries to unite the Shinobi World. You truly were deserving the title 'Saviour of this World'. May you rest in peace."

Kaguya looked on, completely and utterly baffled. "But… I cursed you… why did you forgive him? Black Zetsu left me some of his memories before he fell, that man was a monster who killed thousands!" she snaps, exasperated by Naruto's continued good nature.

"You are right." responds Naruto stoically. "But how many millions or billions would have fallen if he hadn't prompted the war? He stopped what could have been known as the Era of Warring Villages. He saw it's beginning, and ended it before two centuries had passed. The Great Ninja Wars are a black mark on history; they were bloodier than even the Warring Clans Era, and Madara ensured that this chapter of history came to an end. While I hate his method, there's no denying that he was doing what he thought was best, and it did work to unite the world."

Naruto turns to Kaguya, facing her down. "He may not have accomplished what he set out to do, he may not have had the greatest plan, but he still died a Shinobi. And every Shinobi deserves respect for the pain they endure." He turns to Kaguya. "And that is why you will not defeat me. Even if I must hold you back for an eternity, you will never again walk my or any other world." he declares, standing firm, like the immovable object before the unstoppable force. He watches as Kaguya struggles, before sighing.

"You will fall, Asura. It's only a matter of time. And then I will be in control." She whispers, before waving her hand as the void fades to blackness.

Naruto slowly woke in his mindscape, and looked around. He could see the Tailed Beasts still sleeping around his new mindscape. Honestly, he was bored. He looked around, and decided to do a little tree hopping to calm calm himself. It had always worked around the Hidden Leaf. With that thought, he went running over to the trees, and started hopping from branch to branch.

He continued for a couple hours before he eventually tripped in the bamboo forest ('Hey, give me a break, I'm not used to bamboo!'), and with a cry, fell onto Matatabi. She awoke with a yeowl, and batted him away with her paw, sending him flying through the air. He spun midair, and with a twist of his hand, blasted behind himself with Wind Chakra, sending a burst of wind to slow himself. He slowed, and landed on the lake, creating a line on white foam behind him as he slid across the water before grinding to a halt. He breathed deeply, groaning as he rubbed his arm; he'd barely managed to block the Two Tails' attack. She'd really hit him, arm paw burning him as well as nearly breaking his arm. He sat down with a groan as Matatabi ran from the woods towards him, concern evident on her face.

"Naruto! Are you all right?!" she cried across the field, waking most of the Tailed Beasts as well. Naruto walked over to the side of the beach, and plopped into the sand. He tried to catch his breath as he lay in the sand, before he felt some slight movement. He looked down and saw the sand moving into a couch shape, thanks to the efforts of Shukaku.

"I'm fine… wow you're strong… wheeew..." he wheezes out.

"What did you do Naruto?" growls Kurama, irritated at being awoken.

"Just… tripped and fell on Matatabi when she was sleeping… big mistake…"

"Well, you did land on one of my tails. It hurt!" Matatabi purrs out insignantly at Kurama's glare. Shukaku squeals;

"Naru, Naru! Now that you're awake, and I'm awake, we can start your training! I'm gonna make you even greater than Gaara was! You'll be the Terror of the Desert! The Monster on the Dunes! The-" Kurama interrupts him brusquely.

"Naruto, I can feel your apprehension. What happened while we were sleeping?" he grumbles, crossing his arms in front of himself as he lies down.

"Well… I found out what this diamond mark is." Naruto begins, sitting up and crossing his legs. He then explains, quite eloquently, what passed between him and Kaguya. However, when he reaches the point at which Madara resurfaced, the Tailed Beasts are split in the middle. Kurama, along with Son Goku, Shukaku, Gyuki and Matatabi, thought that Naruto was mistaken in how he believed Madara was a good person, and deserved respect. The others were not tainted by personal beliefs, or were prone to violence, and thought that Naruto was living up to the standard set by the Sage. Either way, they all agreed with how he responded to Kaguya.

"Naruto, she might try to take over your body at any time. We need to be constantly prepared for it; much like when I was sealed within you-" Kuraram explains just as Shuakaku interrupts him.

"Wait, you dumb fox! There's something you've forgotten!" he cheers in jubilation.

"What is it you stupid racoon?!" Kurama roars, furious that his superiority is being questioned in any way.

"Since our Chakra returned to us with her death, Kaguya is nearly nothing now! Even Naruto has more Chakra than her! With all of us supporting him, he'll never need to worry!" Shukaku snickers.

"A bluff then?" Son Goku muses, rubbing his hands together. "Didn't think the Rabbit had it in her… if so, then we could probably kill her, or take her power and strip her of Chakra using the Power of the Sage…" Naruto was confused by this.

"What Power of the Sage? It seems like he had so many powers…" he groans the last part, fed up with the constant scaling up that the Sage had. He was like an impossible mountain to climb, a challenge that was unbeatable.

"The Sage's Power to give Chakra also gave him the power to take it away." Shukaku explains, brooding over the possibilities of seizing Kaguya's power. "But I don't think we need to do that; let's just find a way to undo the seal then kill her. That way we don't risk anything; who knows what other Jutsu she has tucked away…" The rest of the Tailed Beasts agree with Shukaku's reasoning, and decide it would be best to wait until they have a way to remove the curse mark from Naruto to deal with Kaguya.

"So!" Kurama cheerfully exclaims, "Time to whip you into shape! You might be alright for a Jinchuriki, but you aren't even close to the level I expect from you to be the Inheritor of the Sage!" Kurama smiles beatifically, looking down on Naruto's eager face.

"Yeah!" Naruto cries, fully hyped up. "I'm pumped up and ready to go!" He pumps his fist, which swirls with orange and gold Chakra.

"Now, make ten clones for each of us; you should then begin your Sage Training on your own outside of your mindscape. Honestly, with Enlightened Sage Mode you'd be able to take on Kaguya in her weakened state if you were the same as you were three years ago, so she won't be a problem if you master it now!" Kurama roars in anticipation, his tails swirling faster than they've ever swirled before in anticipation. Naruto nods, and cries out the name of his signature Jutsu:

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" and with his cry, a burst of smoke fills the field around him, with one hundred clones springing into existence. Naruto wilts under Kurama's glare.

"Alright, those ten extra clones are working on Chakra Control, Naruto." he groans, embarrassed that his Jinchuriki couldn't perform the Jutsu he was most well known for perfectly. Naruto grins and rubs the back of his head sheepishly before fading away to meditate in Timeless Space.
