I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.
Brothers We
Naruto sprinted into the cave, leaving the cover of the trees behind. He had recovered his strength from healing himself already but now he needed to find the man that had attacked him and his brother. He would save Hinata. If he couldn't, he'd die. Finally he skidded to a stop as he entered a massive cavern that had thin pathways running along the floor seemingly at random but in a design he knew well. Below that was boiling lava.
"We can't be here already can we?" Naruto muttered looking around. "Guess I lost track of distance."
He looked forward and saw the man that had attacked him standing in the center of the room with his brother and Hinata kneeling between them, still in her extremely revealing wedding dress, which was now covered in mud. The second brother had long white hair, a white cloak, black pants, a white shirt under his robe, a Khakkhara shaped like a cross with the top part only about two inches long, a katana, two horns like his brother, and blue eyes with an off-white flower-like design around his blue pupil. Both brothers now had black spheres floating in circles behind them.
"There you are," Naruto growled, drawing his Double-Edged Sword and separating the set, readying himself. "Where were we?"
"Tell me Naruto Uzumaki," the man that had attacked him before. "Do you know who I am?"
"No idea," Naruto stated. "And I don't care."
"You should," the man stated. "My name is Hagoromo Otsutsuki, however, you may know me better as the Sage of the Six Paths."
"Y...You're..." Naruto trailed off, hands and knees suddenly shaking and his entire body numb with fear.
"I am," Hagoromo nodded. "This is my brother, Hamura Otsutsuki. Together we stopped the Ten-Tailed Beast. Tell me, do you really think those swords are going to help you?"
"No," Naruto admitted. "But you never know until you try right?"
"Honorable," Hagoromo nodded. "Even when faced with not one, but two opponents that you cannot hope to defeat, you still show your bravery and are willing to sacrifice yourself for Hinata. Tell me, do you remember Nagato's ability to control six bodies to fight for him?"
"I do," Naruto nodded. "He used people my Master had met."
"Indeed," Hagoromo nodded. "Well, allow you to introduce you to my own paths. I believe you may recognize a couple."
He snapped his fingers and six coffins shot out of the ground falling open. Naruto dropped his swords, sinking to his knees as Kakashi, Jiraiya, Sasuke, Itachi, Nagato, and Minato all stepped out of the coffins, each with a Chakra Disruptor embedded in the back of their head, the disruptors small and nearly impossible to catch.
"Allow me to introduce my six paths," Hagoromo said sweeping his arm toward them as the coffins sunk back into the ground. "Kill him."
Naruto grabbed his swords, standing as Jiraiya held out his hand. The moment he did, Naruto flew backward, blasting into the wall. Naruto slid to the ground, groaning and creating a clone. Before anyone could do anything, Minato appeared behind the clone, snapping its neck then turning to Naruto.
"You can..." Naruto stopped, gripping his swords tightly as the realization that each of the paths also had their own powers sank in. "Damn."
He knelt, resting his hand on the ground and seals spread around the room, filling it completely. Naruto stood and readied himself to battle his father.
"So which path are you?" Naruto asked before appearing behind Minato and slashing at him.
Just before it hit, Minato vanished, reappearing with the others as Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto, slashing the Fire Sword the Sasuke in Naruto's universe had had. Naruto blocked it, using a blast of Wind Chakra to extinguish the fire that would otherwise have incinerated him. Sasuke was only physically a child but his strength with one arm was on par with Naruto's given how hard Naruto had to struggle to hold the sword back. Then, Sasuke's other arm slashed his chokuto at Naruto from the other side. Naruto blocked that too then leapt backward as the Sword of Kusanagi's blade extended from a second right arm that had suddenly sprouted from the side of his shirt. Sasuke's head fell back, two more faces growing from the sides of his before three more hands grew from Sasuke's shirt, each holding a sword, one holding Kubikiribocho, one holding Nuibari, and one holding Shibuki.
"Damn," Naruto snarled. "This isn't going to be good."
Naruto created a swarm of clones who all spread around Sasuke, one of them beginning to gather Spirit Energy. Sasuke took a step forward as the clones began to teleport around at random. Just as one of them made a move to attack, another used a smoke bomb to create cover from the others' clone appeared behind Sasuke and Sasuke spun, one sword blocking it as all of the others collided with the clone, destroying it. Naruto looked up to see Minato on the ceiling. He teleported to his father, beginning to fight him, Minato using a pair of Chakra Disruptors like Eskrima Sticks. The rest of the combat clones began to attack Sasuke but he was always able to destroy them all. Just as Naruto kicked Minato into Sasuke, his last clone released itself and Naruto entered Sage Mode. He spun, catching a punch from Sasuke then slashed him across the chest with his combined Double-Edged Swords, a barrage of Wind Swords exploding from his back and flying at the others. Itachi stepped forward, a large green barrier appearing and absorbing all of the Wind Swords except one. That one was covered in smoke and turned into the real Naruto who was holding one Rasenshuriken and had the other hand extended toward Jiraiya. Naruto hurled the Rasenshuriken and began rapid firing his spectral blades at Jiraiya. The Rasenshuriken expanded, naruto himself only narrowly escaping the blades by teleporting away as the others tried the same. Itachi's legs were shredded and Jiraiya was hit with three blades but they all escaped the blades and the blast, even Itachi.
Naruto leapt back as Kakashi crashed down where he had been. A moment later, dozens of creatures that looked like misshapen masses of brown clay charged out of the smoke. Some were massive with hammers for hands, others looked like some form of animal, running along on four stubby legs with long tails trailing behind them, and some were relatively human sized with either axes on the outside of their forearms or curved blades there. All of them had spikes growing out of their backs and all were eyeless but still followed Naruto's movements. Naruto extended his Chakra Chains, the chains beginning to smash the creatures away or impale them but each simply stood and attacked again.
"What are these things?" Naruto growled, using his swords to blast a group of five with Wind Swords.
They were torn into shreds and collapsed, but there were still well over a hundred after Naruto. Naruto put his Double-Edged Swords away and formed a pair of his swords as well as his Chakra Chain Dragon. Then, he sprinted forward as the dragon began to attack the creatures as if it were alive. Naruto's swords easily cut into the creatures, allowing Naruto to kill them rapidly. After a few minutes, he retracted his Chakra Chains and began to tear through the creatures. Just as he finished the last one, Itachi's upper body wrapped its arms around his waist, beginning to drain his power. The moment he exited Sage Mode, Itachi let go, leaping away with his arms. Naruto spun, slashing at Itachi with a spectral sword but missed. Just as Naruto turned to the others, the King of Hell that Nagato had been able to revive the dead with sank into the ground and Sasuke raised his swords, ready to fight again. Minato appeared beside him and Itachi leapt over, standing on his hands.
"Yours are much more resilient than Nagato's were," Naruto stated, watching Itachi who should be dead.
"Thank you," Hagoromo smirked.
Naruto raised his swords as Minato appeared behind him, resting his hand on Naruto's head. He began to raise his hand, taking Naruto's soul with it but Naruto flipped a sword around and removed Minato's arm, his soul returning to him fully as Minato teleported away, his severed arm landing at Naruto's feet. Naruto turned toward his father as the King of Hell appeared in front of him. Naruto teleported away, reappearing at the far side of the room and growling in frustration.
"They're a lot more organized too," Naruto growled. "Alright, we do this the hard way."
He floated into the air where Minato couldn't teleport to him then held his arms out. A wall of spectral swords, filling the room appeared around him and shot forward, more forming and filling in the hole as it traveled. After a moment, all of them shattered and Naruto was blasted into the wall. It was not Jiraiya holding his hand out, however, it was Nagato.
Naruto slid to the ground as Jiraiya held his hand out, the King of Hell rising from the ground before Naruto. Naruto teleported away, appearing behind Jiraiya and slashing at him. He leapt away but as he flew forward, Naruto appeared in front of him with a Rasengan. It blasted Jiraiya in the face, disabling that path and Naruto spun, removing Itachi's head as Itachi leapt at him. Then, Naruto released his clone and formed two Rasenshuriken. He turned toward Nagato, pulling his arm back. He knew he could never hit Nagato with one of them but grinned anyway. Then, he threw them, one hidden in the shadow of the first.
Nagato ducked then jumped, moving to pass between the two. Naruto fired several swords at Nagato but they all shattered as Nagato held his hand out. At the same time, the Rasenshuriken reached Nagato. Just as he got halfway past them, both burst into tiny pieces of chakra and Chakra Chains, briefly revealed to have been balled up inside the Rasenshuriken, impaled him from both above and below. Nagato coughed up blood then fell limp and Naruto fired a spectral sword through Nagato's head.
Then, Naruto leapt as a beam of chakra shot under him from the cannon one of Sasuke's hands had become. The hand turned into a hand again and picked up its sword as Minato appeared behind Naruto using a seal he had placed on Naruto. Naruto spun, forming a sword and slashing at Minato. Minato drew a kunai, blocking the sword before Chakra Chains shot out of Naruto, impaling him. He threw Minato into Sasuke then landed on his feet, reaching back to the seal and erasing it before beginning to gather Nature Energy. Sasuke sprinted forward, hurling Nuibari. Just before it reached Naruto, Naruto entered Sage Mode then caught the sword, snapping it and smashing his piece into Sasuke's head. Sasuke flipped, slashing at Naruto's back but a wall of Chakra Chains blocked the blades before Naruto spun, drawing his Double-Edged Swords and blasting Sasuke at point blank range with a barrage of Vacuum Spheres. When the dust cleared, Naruto pointed one of his swords at Hagoromo.
"Enough tricks, fight me," Naruto growled.
Hagoromo looked to his brother who nodded. Hamura appeared to Naruto's right, slashing at him with both his weapons. Naruto blocked both then leapt into the air as the spheres all shot at him. Naruto fired several spectral swords at Hamura, but he spun, smashing them with his staff, which Naruto realized was made of the same substance as the spheres. Naruto landed on his feet, firing several Wind Swords at Hamura but one of the spheres, all of which had already returned, shot in front of him, expanding into a circular shield, blocking he attacks. The shield shrunk and Hamura stepped forward, slashing at Naruto again. Naruto blocked it but was launched back ward, smashing into the ground hard enough to plow up several massive chunks of stone. Naruto pushed himself up then sprinted sideways. Hamura held his hand out toward Naruto, turning to follow him. Naruto turned to sprint forward but skidded to a stop, leaping into the air as the same chunks of floor he had plowed up shot under him, crashing into the opposite wall of the cavern. Naruto landed in a sprint at Hamura. Hamura put his sword away, stabbing his staff into the ground just before his entire body lit up with green chakra flames, similar to Naruto's Nine-tails Chakra shroud. All of the spheres around him instantly began to glow the same green as his chakra shroud. In that form, the sleeves of his chakra robe turned into balls of flame about halfway down his forearms, and his staff began to glow green as his horns extended massively.
Hamura picked up his staff and Naruto leapt backward. The moment his feet touched the ground, Hamura was suddenly gone. Naruto skidded past him and teleported away, only to find Hamura behind him. Naruto spun, slashing at him but his sword snapped when it met his staff. Hamura swung the staff, the end passing outside of a foot of Naruto but the force of the gust of wind it created hurled Naruto away. Naruto crashed down hard, bouncing and rolling along the ground before flipping to his feet and sliding to a stop.
"Damn you," Naruto growled. "What is that ability?"
"This?" Hamura asked tugging at his cloak, which had tomoe around its collar. "This is the chakra shroud granted to me by my Tenseigan."
"Tenseigan?" Naruto blinked, confused.
"A combination of the Byakugan with our family's chakra," Hamura stated. "In this form, you cannot defeat me. Not that you stood a chance before."
"It's not exactly a fair fight then is it?" Naruto growled.
"Who said anything about fair?" Hagoromo asked, suddenly standing behind Naruto.
Naruto spun but one of the spheres Hagoromo was controlling collided with his stomach, blasting him into a wall. Hagoromo jumped, using his staff to drop well over a dozen stalactites. Then, he landed on one and nodded to Hamura. They both raised their arms, the stalactites rising into the air and turning so that their points were aimed at Naruto.
"Die," Hagoromo snarled.
The stalactites all streaked forward, blasting the wall where Naruto had been. Naruto landed between the two brothers, driving a spectral blade into each of their sides. Both staggered away as seals spread over their bodies.
"You're joking," Hagoromo snorted as the brothers broke the seals easily.
"No," Naruto grinned. "Both blades possessed a very deadly poison that I gained from an old enemy of mine. I haven't used it in a very long time. And I haven't used my old fighting style for a while either. Never thought I'd need it again. Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
A dozen clones appeared and all reached for their weapons. Naruto himself put the broken Double-Edged Sword away with his other one and drew the Sword of Kusanagi. He grinned, spinning it a couple of times before readying himself. All around him, clones were preparing Double-Edged Swords, Swords of Kusanagi, their big swords, and Garian Swords, both in dragon form and as arm blades.
"What is this?" Hagoromo demanded. "You think you can beat us with this?"
A clone teleported to Hamura and slashed at him. Hamura spun, blocking the Sword of Kusanagi the clone was wielding with his staff and the ground below them cratered but the blade remained intact. Hagoromo's eyes widened as Narutos began teleporting around completely at random, leaving those with the Garian Blades in dragon form behind. Hagoromo spun to block an oncoming Kusanagi Sword but a dragon wrapped around him, binding him. His spheres blocked the blade then basted the Naruto, turning it into smoke before a dragon bit into his neck. He gripped the snake yanking the Naruto over before a sphere turned into a spike, impaling him. Naruto formed a Rasengan in his free hand, filling it with Chakra Chains then teleported to Hamura as a pair of dragons wrapped around him. The spheres were spiraling around the dragons, a tornado flying around them toward the Naruto restraining him. At the same time as the tornado blasted that Naruto, Naruto smashed his Rasengan into Hamura's back. It exploded, the chains wrapping around Hamura and restraining him as Naruto teleported to Hagoromo who was still wiping the clones out rapidly. Just as he arrived, he blocked Hagoromo's staff and formed a Rasengan, shoving it at Hagoromo's head.
Hagoromo ducked under the Rasengan then spun the other way, dragging his staff across the ground. The effect was instant, as the ground, all around the room exploded, destroying all of Naruto's seals. Naruto leapt at Hagoromo as Hagoromo flew into the air. Hagoromo was dueling with a pair of Kusanagi clones but held his free hand out toward Naruto and blasted him with Shinra Tensei. Naruto crashed down hard just as Hagoromo killed both clones. Hamura managed to stand, the spheres he controlled moving into a line in front of him. Naruto formed a hundred clones that leapt at the brothers but Hamura's spheres separated into several hundred, blasting the clones before flying at Naruto.
Naruto smirked and held his sword out, displaying the teleportation seal on the blade. A teleportation barrier appeared in front of him, catching the spheres. Then, Naruto flipped the sword over and the spheres appeared over a teleportation kunai Minato had dropped behind Hamura, all blasting him in the back, sending him crashing into the opposite wall, unconscious and badly wounded. Naruto turned to Hagoromo who surveyed his downed brother before holding up his staff. Just as he did, he fell to his knees, coughing up blood and Naruto grinned, standing up straight again.
"I told you, the sword was covered in poison," Naruto stated. "The dragon that bit you also injected a much more lethal poison into you."
"Impressive," Hagoromo admitted, standing, now using his staff to support himself as his body began to age until he was much, much older, his beard reaching pas his waist. "We admit defeat. You have beaten us. And passed out test."
"Test?" Naruto blinked.
"That's right," Hagoromo nodded. "The Forbidden of your world is not a threat here, but the Ten-tails is. It shall break free, soon. In order for you to be capable of fighting it, I have a present for you."
He held his hand out and a glowing seal appeared on Naruto's stomach before his Eight Trigrams Seal appeared where it should be.
"Naruto!" Kurama exclaimed. "Thank God. Death does not agree with me! When are we going home?"
"I don't know that we will. We have only a few hours left, by my estimate," Naruto replied. "Thank you for returning my Tailed Beast, but I need to get home. Can't you send me?"
"No," Hagoromo said shaking his head. "I may have created the precursor to Ninjutsu, but the seal that put you here was created by Rai. I know not how to stop it."
"Damn," Naruto sighed. "Alright. Where's the Ten-tails?"
"East," Hagoromo stated.
"Wait, take this," Hamura stated, appearing behind Naruto and setting his hand on Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto's eyes instantly burned before suddenly, he had his Byakugan vision back, but with both eyes.
"Did you just give me Byakugan?" Naruto asked.
"Tenseigan," Hamura stated transferring knowledge of its abilities to Naruto. "Good luck. And I'd hurry to find a way home. Even when you do, my eyes will remain with you."
Naruto nodded and both brothers vanished as the cave restored itself. Naruto turned and hurried over to Hinata, untying her hands and pulling the gag off her mouth.
"Oh thank you!" Hinata cried, hugging Naruto for a moment before pulling back, grinning. "Allow me to thank you."
She reached up to her top pulling it down completely before rolling the bottom up out of the way and reaching for Naruto's belt.
"S-Stop!" Naruto all but shouted, shocked and struggling to catch her hands. "What are you doing?"
"Repaying you," Hinata stated continuing to try to undress him. "You now have free use of my body in any way and any hole you wish. But only this once. When you're done, I have to get back to my fiancé."
"Stop!" Naruto commanded, finally managing to catch both her hands and shove them away from himself. "You...I can't...damn you! God fucking damn you! You were supposed to be my one way out! You bitch! Why could you just...fuck!"
He turned around and began to leave.
"W-Wait!" Hinata called out. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to die here," Naruto stated. "Before that happens, I'm going to kill the Ten-tails."
"Why?" Hinata asked, sounding confused and hurt at the same time.
"Because," Naruto stated. "Even the way you are, even being the polar opposite of the Hinata I love, you're still Hinata. And I'm not going to see you hurt."
And with that, Naruto sprinted out of the room. He left the cave and sprinted east, quickly shooting through the trees. Finally, he stopped as he reached a wasteland where a meteor was about to hit. It slowed at the last second, two massive arms and two equally massive legs crashing down and stopping a massive brown creature with ten tails, a single, red Rinnegan with nine tomoe, a muscular build, and spikes on its back and head. The thing stood, seeing Naruto and roared. Hundreds upon hundreds of the same creature Hagoromo's Animal path had summoned dropped off the Ten-tails then charged at Naruto. Naruto sighed, drawing his Sword of Kusanagi then sprinted forward, creating a line of clones to fight alongside him.
