The Legend of Hope Chapter 17: Sasuke becomes an Aeon

Naruto and his guardians now had 4 more aeons to their collection. The had collected the Magus sisters, and the Samurai Aeon, Yojimbo. He didn't feel an increase in power, but that's because he didn't need it. Oh, and he gave Shiva to Hinata, and her hair went raven black, as well as grew. Naruto was 15 now.

Sasuke and Naruto had managed to navigate through the depths of the Baaj temple, to get the 10 and last Aeon, Anima.

"Remind me again, why me?" Sasuke asked. Naruto smirked, as they got up from the water.

"Anima is the dark Aeon. It will allow you to transform into your 2nd curse stage, without the curse. Plus, darkness can be a good thing to increase your powers. Lets say you still hated Itachi. With this, you should be able to defeat him. This is an outside power, but only if you are willing to accept it, is it acceptable" Naruto said. Sasuke nodded.

They began to talk with the Human form of Anima, when she was summoned. She told them about she being the mother of Seymour.

"It is indeed my fault that he desires power. I became an aeon, to help him. But it turned on my wish. Now, Ninja summoner Naruto, I give you my powers, in this rune" Anima said, holding out the dark Rune. Naruto refused it.

"Sasuke will be the next Anima, alive. He needs that power, to be as powerful as he wants, and needs to be" Naruto said. Anima accepted it, and gave the rune to Sasuke. More or less, shoved it in his chest. He felt the pain come over him. He felt his hair get longer, and have some silver highlights to it.

Naruto then placed his hand on Sasuke's curse, and it was removed. Sasuke thanked Naruto, as they left.

On the Airship...

"Yuna should be near Zanarkand now. Let's go there" Naruto said. Cid gave the orders

They arrived there. Naruto saw Sin, in a distance. They all wanted to attack, but Naruto refused.

"I'm going to link my mind with his. Jecht should give me some insight" Naruto said, activating his red eyes of truth, and looking at Sin.

–Inside Sin–

"You're back" Jecht said. Naruto nodded.

"Nothing to worry about. Everyone has just killed Yunalesca, thus the Final Aeon can never be created again. Everyone has survived" Jecht said. Naruto smirked.

"Good. I knew Yuna was smart enough for that. Thus my plans can be carried out. Surely, she will soon enough want to face Maestor Mika, to get more details, even by force" Naruto said. Jecht chuckled.

"Kid, you are smart. I always did like you. So just remember. Use every bit of power you have. Don't hold back" Jecht said.

–Spira–

"Take it down Uncle. Yuna will be coming out soon" Naruto said. Cid gave the orders, and Yuna and her guardians came on board.

"Well...it looks like Team seven is united at last" Rikku said, hugging all three of her teammates.
