Chapter 15 The Grand Battle: Uzumaki Vs Uzumaki
Nxh592: Almost done with this story! Probably four more chapters! Today, since I've already had Ms. Suzumiya already in my other story, I've decided that I will have the other members of the S.O.S Brigade in here! Let me introduce Mikuru Asahina, Yuki Nagato, Itsuki Koizumi, and Kyon!
Kyon: really, we can have a normal talk with this? No Suzumiya to mess it up?
Itsuki: oh, come on, Ms Suzumiya isn't that bad.
Kyon: Computer club
Itsuki: Ahh touché
Nxh592: okay, lets get on with the questions. First Yuki, what is your favorite book?
Yuki: I have no favorite
Nxh592: Then what was the most interesting?
Yuki: They are all interesting.
Nxh592: How about the most unique?
Yuki: anything besides Twilight.
Nxh592: Wait… the great Yuki Nagato, the bookworm of the year, the person who always has her nose in a book doesn't like the example of fangirl bait?
Yuki: I don't read wastes of literature.
Nxh592: And that's why you are awesome Yuki. Next one is for Itsuki! What is the longest time you spent smiling?
Itsuki: hmm, I would guess for the entire month of April. So thirty days.
Nxh592: What you smile when you sleep?
Itsuki: Sure do
Nxh592: And you thought it would be normal Kyon.
Kyon: Guess your right. I spend my time after school with a god, an esper, a time-traveler, and an alien. My life can't be normal can it?
Nxh592:I'm going to say no.
Kyon: Should have known. I learned a long time ago, just smile, nod and follow orders.
Nxh592: hell, do that and its impossible to be in trouble.
Kyon: you don't know Suzumiya as well as I do.
Nxh592: Next is for Miss Asahina…. Uhh where is she?
Kyon: that's a good question where did she go?
(Yuki points to corner)
Nxh592: Uhh Mikuru?
Mikuru: N-no cameras please!
Kyon: Sorry, she's just never been the same around cameras since the whole Adventures of Mikuru Asahina fiasco.
Nxh592: that bad?
Kyon: complete stage fright.
Nxh592: Well that's okay, we'll just turn them off.
(Yuki hides cameras behind curtain)
Nxh592: (thumbs up) okay no more cameras.
Mikuru: A-are they really gone?
Nxh592: sure are.
Kyon: (whispers) we had to do this toward the end too. She had no idea we filmed most of it until Haruhi put it onscreen.
Nxh592: (whispers) wow, this is downright fear. (regular) anyway, Ms. Asahina, I know I can't ask anything about time traveling, so how about the present, who do you like most in this time?
Mikuru: Well, I have to go with my husband in my time.
Nxh592: Really, who's that?
Mikuru: That's classified
Nxh592: can you give me a hint?
Mikuru: I didn't know his actual name until I married him.
Nxh592: Hmm… who can that be I wonder?
Mikuru: Wait… was that too much of a hint?!
Nxh592: Just a little, speaking of names, Kyon. We never learned your real name, what is it?
Kyon: (whispers name)
Nxh592: I don't blame you for using Kyon.
Kyon: what's wrong with it?
Nxh592: nothin' nothin'
(window opens)
Itsuki: I'm getting a bad feeling we aren't safe any longer here.
Yuki: Ms. Suzumiya has found out.
Nxh592: Gah! Run before she gets another potato!!!
Haruhi: You didn't invite me?!!!
Nxh592: the universe is doomed! With your last moments of breath read the story! HURRYYY!!!!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything concerning Naruto, Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or any other anime I may reference. I do not own Twilight…that is a blessing.
"Kazuma, It's time." Arashi said as he jumped down.
"I suppose so." Kazuma said "But stop fooling yourself, that name means nothing to me."
"It means everything to me." Arashi said "My only brother, Kazuma Uzumaki I will never believe you are as moronic as to go against the village!"
"So you think I'm a moron, for severing my ties to a village who won't let us grow to the fullest extent?" Kazuma said "I'm not the moron here Arashi, you are. You want to run a pitiful village of weaklings who shun your growth."
"That's not true Kazuma, we grew our power to the fullest extent! We never stopped working, even when we were in ANBU! We never became detached like the others did! We never lost that which is important to us we never considered ourselves heartless killers! We were peacekeepers, we were that which kept the village from destroying itself!"
"Peacekeepers? No we were heartless killers. We destroyed all that opposed us." Kazuma said
"Not without trying for peace first!" Arashi said "We always tried for piece before we acted. If we were heartless killers, we would have destroyed the other villages like it was nothing! Instead we try to keep peace between the villages, to make friends with them!"
"Friends, why would we be friends with weaklings?" Kazuma said
"Kazuma, you should know better, you made friends with far more villagers of the cloud village than I did, you practically made the entire stone village like you with just your jokes! You think those aren't friends?!" Arashi asked
"No, they are just pawns. People I can use to move around. People I can manipulate in thinking what I want them to think." Kazuma said
"Is that what you think?" Arashi said, "If it wasn't for those people, we would have died! We were never heartless!"
"Wake up, you fool! You can't be a child forever, we are ninjas, and we are killers for hire! The only reason we have ninja's is to kill other people! Not to make friends with other villages! We use what they tell us, then kill them." Kazuma said
"Killers for hire?" Arashi said, he chuckled "I don't think so. Konoha has always made it first priority for hiring Konoha ninjas is to have a viable and agreeable reason to why they need hiring."
"And that is why your village is weak. You have to create excuses for them. You have just made an excuse for killing." Kazuma said
"Wrong, we are never the first to attack an opponent, we wait till we have a reason for attack." Arashi said
"And you think that act of nobility will prevent the enemy from attacking?" Kazuma asked
"We want to prevent as much confrontation as we can." Arashi said
"Prevent, reasons, friends, these are the reasons you are weak Arashi. Because you depend so much on all of them." Kazuma said "You must detach yourself from these worldly possessions!"
"Don't try and fool me Kazuma, you felt the same way once. We wanted a better village, a better world, one that wouldn't need ninjas any longer, where we could all be free to do whatever the hell we want and not worry if we were in danger!"
"That is nothing but a fantasy Arashi, this world will always be in danger of itself. We humans are killers by nature. We can't deny this fact. Ninjas are meant to destroy those that oppose this fact."
"What are you saying?! Humans are killers by nature. That's bullshit, and you know it!" Arashi said
"Well, lets see how much of it was bullshit, shall we?" Kazuma said as he removed a dual pronged kunai from his pocket.
"A yellow flash duel huh?" Arashi said pulling out several of his own three-pronged kunai. "Very well"
Both threw a barrage of kunai every which way that was possible. Some stuck in the mountain, others were held by trees, and others were floating in the air protected by yellow barriers.
Both put their hands in front of them. Then, both disappeared in a yellow flash. Blasts of yellow clashed at high speeds. Both not only throwing bombs, kunai, and other tools, but punches as well. Both were fighting in zero gravity as they jump from kunai to kunai. Blood from punches to the face flying every which way, tattered cloth ripping from impact and cuts. Kazuma had a noticeably faster sense of direction then Arashi, but Arashi had a more room to direct himself. Arashi's attacks were like bullets breaking through the skin, while Kazuma's were like a knives slicing through the stomach. No human would be able to follow the fight as it was. Arashi had formed a ball in his hand as Kazuma did the same from the other end.
"Rasengan!"
"Rasengan!"
Both of the blue spheres connected. But the moment they did, they dispersed. Both backed away from each other.
"I see, so the Rasengan is nullified with another." Kazuma contemplated.
"Huh… never knew that." Arashi said smiling
"Why are you smiling Arashi?" Kazuma asked
"What, isn't obvious? It's been a while since we've fought like this. Besides, looks like you are enjoying this as well." Arashi said
Kazuma didn't know it, but he was smiling as well. When he caught this, his grin turned back into carelessness. "I think our fight is finished for now Arashi."
"What, giving up so easily Kazu?"
Kazuma leered at Arashi "No, I just don't want to be inconsiderate to my partner."
"Yeah, I heard about your partner from Orochimaru."
"So the deserter still lets things slip." Kazuma said chuckling "He didn't tell you who it is did he?"
"No, but I think I know who it is. Someone strong, sensible, young, and disposable in your eyes, It's Kakashi's student Rin isn't it?!" Arashi yelled
Kazuma chuckled low. "I think not Arashi."
"Huh?"
"Think clearly. Who is someone, who we both know to have all those qualities, and one you can never attack?" Kazuma said
Arashi had not thought it could be someone else. He had to think for a moment.
"You are dense Arashi, and your supposed to be Hokage." Kazuma said chuckling "Come now…Kushina."
Arashi's eyes widened. He didn't want to believe that Kushina was on his side. He saw in the corner of his eye something move. It was…red. It was…
"…Ku…shina…?" There was no denying it now; Kazuma's partner was none other than his own wife. Her flowing red hair… her glowing green eyes…skin so flawless, it had looked like she had not aged since he left. No… 'She hasn't aged any. And now that I look at it, neither has Kazuma. What is going on here?'
"It was quite easy, on the day Kyuubi attacked, when I knew your life had passed. I killed the ANBU who were guarding her and I took her mind." Kazuma said. "She has been by my side for Thirteen years today."
"Kazuma, you cheater." Arashi growled, "Let her go now!"
"I can't do that Arashi, she's too valuable to my plans." Kazuma said "Kushina, kill Arashi."
Kushina brought out a kunai to fight.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kyuubi looked over his shoulder. He saw a red haired boy leading at least a dozen people. "So it was you I smelt Shu." Kyuubi said laughing
"Yeah, that was him." Gaara said smiling back.
"Well, looks like you've recovered Gaara." Kyuubi said
"Yeah, well your friend was a lot calmer, since Arashi fixed his seal. Looks like it's the same with you."
"Yeah, yeah, shut yer yap." Kyuubi said
"Hey Kyu-Chan!" Tenten said waving
"Good to see you again Kyuubi." Neji said
"Yeah," Kiba said
"Oh, so you were the other dog I was smelling Akamaru." Kyuubi said to the small dog.
It took Kiba quite a while to get the joke "Hey!"
"So, where are Hinata-sama and Naruto?" Neji asked
"Oh, there right here." Kyuubi said as he tapped one of his claws at the base of a tree. A sound of cracking came from nowhere, then a shattering.
Naruto and Hinata appeared at the base of the tree, both waking up from a daze.
"Huh, wha happened?" Naruto said rubbing his neck
"Mmm where are we?" Hinata asked
"Hello you two." Shikamaru said smirking
"Shikamaru?" Naruto said "and everyone else?"
"Speaking of everyone else, Kankuro, where's Temari?" Gaara asked
"Gaara and Kankuro too?" Hinata said yawning
"She said she had to report to Baki after she made contact with one of us." Ino said
"Gaara! How've you been?" Naruto said fully awake now.
"Not bad Uzumaki, you look well rested." Gaara said
"Back at ya." Naruto said noticing the black lines were gone. "How's Shukaku?"
"Better in my human form Uzumaki." Said the spiky haired demon
"Kurosaki?"
"What did I say girl!?" Shukaku said
"Sorry, force of habit." Tenten apologized quickly.
"Kit, Hinata, It's time we got moving." Kyuubi said
"What do you mean Kyu?" Naruto asked then it came to him. "My Dad, where's my Dad?!"
Kyuubi didn't look at him.
"Kyuubi answer me! Where is my Dad?!" Naruto asked again.
"He went to fight Pein alone." Kyuubi said
"Alone?! But why didn't he take us? Why did he leave us…" Kyuubi held on to Naruto's shoulder.
"Naruto, don't think foolishly of your father. Arashi didn't know what the situation would be. He assumed that he would come alone."
"That's right, Orochimaru said something about a partner." Naruto remembered
"He was planning on you fighting Pein with Hinata. But, he didn't count on a fifth party." Kyuubi said
"Kyu, I want you to take me where he is." Naruto said
"Hey, what about us?! We can help!" Kiba said
"No, this is something I got to do alone. I don't want to lose anyone." Naruto said
"Naruto…" Hinata said
"Hinata, I want you to protect the village." Naruto said holding her hands. "And stay safe, I'll be back."
"Alright Kit, throw your kunai that way, it'll take you as close as you can." Kyuubi said
"Right Kyu," Naruto threw it as hard as he could in the direction Kyuubi directed. Naruto turned around and waved "See ya guys."
Hinata mustered up enough courage. She pulled out a little box "Naruto I want you to…" she was too late. Naruto and Kyuubi had already disappeared in a yellow flash.
"Where are you Naruto?" Sasuke asked himself 'Itachi said something about saving Uzumaki, but what could he mean? Is he talking about the Hokage? In any case, if I have any hopes of beating Orochimaru, I'm going to have to find Naruto.'
Not much hope of that. Sasuke had absolutely no idea which way Naruto's chakra signature was, and as soon as he had a lock on it, he would use that technique of his fathers.
Sasuke felt something, a tremor. "Someone is fighting over there, and it's a big fight too. I'd better go check it out." He said running in that direction.
"Kushina!" Arashi said trying to talk to his wife. "It's me, Arashi!" It was no use; she kept attacking him with no retaliation. Arashi didn't want to attack her. In fact he didn't think he could.
"It's no use Arashi, she is under my control." Kazuma said, "No matter what you say, she will ignore and attack."
Arashi growled he had no idea what to do. If he attacked her, she would get hurt, if he didn't, he would. Either way, he couldn't do anything.
Arashi dodged all he could. But knowing Kushina, she was a master at all sorts of tricks. Even now she was so unpredictable to Arashi, even back when, he couldn't tell what her main fighting style was, she changed so periodically that it was impossible to tell what was her strong point and what was her weak point. At one point she's using nothing but kunai, then she's using illusions, then she fights with her feet, then using fire style, then water.
'Damn, I'm her husband for crying out loud! I should know much more about her than………that couldn't work could it?' He asked himself.
She went right on attacking him. Every move different from the last. Arashi dodged all he could and waited. "There!" he used his Yellow Flash and sped under Kushina's legs, it made her kimono flash up.
"Whoo, black ones today Kushina-chan?! Naughty girl." Arashi yelled out
Kushina was red in the face. To say she was mad would be a horrible understatement. "Uzumaki you pervert!!!" she came at him and slapped him across the field. He went flying until he hit the ground.
He had his finger in the air "…Totally…worth it!" he said from under the rubble.
Kushina didn't understand. Why did she react that way? Why did she slap him like that? Why did she call him a pervert?
"Impossible…" Kazuma said befuddled. "How did she act of her own accord?!"
Arashi started laughing, "No matter what you do to her mind, she's still the Kushina I know and love." He said "She will still act the same way she did back then. She will still have her impulses. And more importantly, she's still a tsundere!"
"Tsu…Tsundere?" Kushina said wondering to herself where she's heard that phrase before.
"You're such a tsundere Kushina-chan." Said a faceless boy nonchalantly.
…
"They'll be regretting taking those pictures thanks to our little tsundere teammate." Said the faceless boy
"Who are you calling little?" said a younger Kushina.
"See, Tsundere" he said
"Tsundere, that's the perfect way to describe Kushina-chan." Kazuma
"You see, that's what I said, she's like the perfect example of Tsundere." Said the faceless boy
Kushina laughed "I guess you guys are right, I kinda am a Tsundere."
"Okay, would you all stop saying Tsundere?"
"Who…Who is that?" She asked herself. "Tsun…Tsun…dere… dere? Why… why am I a Tsundere?" She grasped her head "Who am I?!"
"She's regaining consciousness?" Kazuma said astounded. No one has ever broken his mind control.
"Where are you?" She asked almost crying "Where are you? Where are you? I'm scared… I… don't know… where I am… Where are you… Arashi?!"
"Kushina." He said appearing next to her. "I'm here. Don't worry"
"Where…Am.. I can't…Gyaaaah!!!" She screamed out lashing every which way. She was in tremendous pain.
Kazuma had his hand up "You will never be free."
"Kazu! Stop! Can't you see she's in pain?!" Arashi yelled
His words meant nothing to Kazuma. But something strange happened. As he saw Kushina crying out in pain, he didn't know why but, he stopped.
"Kazu?"
"S-stop with that infernal NICKNAME!!!" He yelled out "IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY! WHY DO YOU THINK THERE'S ANY CHANCE OF ME GOING BACK WITH YOU?!!! I AM NO LONGER YOUR BROTHER! THE BROTHER YOU KNEW IS DEAD! HE'S FUCKING DEAD YOU FOOL!!! I AM NO LONGER PART OF THE LEAF VILLAGE!!"
"But you are Kazu. You are still my brother. You are still part of team Ikazuchi (thunder). You remember? All three of us made that name. You, me and Kushina are still teammates, no matter what." Arashi said calmly "I don't know I can bring you back I know I can, you are still Kazuma Uzumaki inside. You are still a kage bunshin twin."
"Don't fool me brother!" Kazuma yelled
"You see? Inside you still consider me your brother!" Arashi said, Arashi held out his hand. "Come back with me Kazuma."
"No, I am no longer your brother! What will it take you to realize this you idiot?!" Kazuma screamed "The name Kazuma Uzumaki means nothing to me!"
"I can tell when your lying Kazu. We're brothers, I know when your lying. Every time you've said Kazuma Uzumaki means nothing to me, You were lying." Arashi said "That's why I still call you Kazuma. I will never call you Pein because of that."
"Then I will just have to kill you to make you realize." Kazuma said creating a sword out of a Rasengan.

"Hey Hinata, you're falling behind." Kiba said looking back.
Hinata still kept the box she was going to give to Naruto next to her heart. "Sorry, I just…"
"Go on, Hinata-chan," Gaara said with a smile.
"Uh… huh?" Hinata asked she had no idea what he was talking about.
"We all know you want to go, so just go." Neji said "Be with Naruto."
"Just promise you'll stay safe." Shino said.
"But… I never…" Hinata started
"But you were thinking it. That thing you've been trying to give Naruto, you've never let your grip off of it." Shikamaru said "Go on, who needs you along anyway." He said winking briefly to tell he was kidding.
Hinata smiled "Thank you guys. Be sure to take care of the village." She said "And stay safe!" Hinata ran into the other direction
"Back at ya Hinata!" Tenten yelled
"Make sure that knucklehead comes back with you!" Ino yelled
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Baki," Temari said "I've made contact with Skikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi, and Ino Yamanaka. After, Gaara, along with the rest, led them to find Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga." She said
"Very well," Baki said "what's their ETA?"
"Most likely 30 minutes." Temari said
"Good, I want you to take two jounin to the last place you saw Gaara." Baki said
"…Wait, you want me to go back from where I just was?" Temari said.
"Correct, you must take Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha the last known direction of the chunin and genin that were sent out." Baki said
Kakashi and Obito were behind her.
"So, we ready?" Kakashi asked as his eye was smiling.
"Yes sir." Temari said
"Good, there's no time to waste. Sensei needs us." Obito said
Temari and the two jounin jumped on her fan and took off.
Arashi and Kazuma were both fighting. Well more like Kazuma flew into a rage and Arashi is defending.
"Fight me!" Kazuma yelled
"No!" Arashi yelled back "I'm not going to fight you until you admit you are my brother! And fight me like one!"
"Why should I lie?!" Kazuma yelled
"You won't!" Arashi said "Why are you acting like this Kazuma?! What got into you all those years ago?!" Arashi asked still dodging all of his brother's attacks
"You should never have been Hokage!" Kazuma yelled "You should have never taken it upon yourself to be a leader of a village!"
"What the hell are you talking about?! If I didn't, then Orochimaru would have!" Arashi said "We both agreed the village would have crumbled under his rule!"
"What are you talking about?! It was between me and you!" Kazuma said "I…I remember losing."
"No, you and Kushina were up in the stands cheering me on with chikan-senin. Remember, you said Jiraiya was telling what Tsunade told him, Kushina was pregnant! You were the one who told me afterwards." Arashi said
"You lie!" Kazuma said
"No, Kushina told me afterward, you practically thought up his name." Arashi said "Chikan Senin's character, he was a brave ninja that fought valiantly through any obstacle. He named him Naruto!"
"Naruto…" Kazuma said "Why… why do I remember that name?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Whoo! Go Arashi-kuuuun!!" Kushina yelled out
"Come on bro! Beat that crossdresser!" Kazuma yelled out
"Hey, that crossdresser is still my teammate." Jiraiya said
"Your point?" Kazuma asked "I'm just kiddin' sensei."
"So, what do you think is a good name for the character in my story?" Jiraiya asked
"Hmm, I dunno something cool like Kamina!" Kazuma suggested
"Kamina? Sound's interesting, but not what I'm looking for. What else ya got?" Jiraiya asked
"Ooh how about Shuji?" Kazuma suggested
"Nah, too much." Jiraiya said
"How about Minato?" Kazuma asked
"Hmm sounds familiar but no." Jiraiya said
"I got it! The most epic name in the world! Naruto!" Kazuma said with gusto.
Everyone around him was silent.
"What?"
"That's the most stupidest name in the whole world! Who's gonna be named after a noodle you find in ramen?!" Jiraiya said
"I like it." Kushina said "If I have a kid someday, I'm gonna name him that." She said jokingly
"Come on, lighten up Kushina-chan." Instinctively he covered his head.
"Huh?"
"Sorry, force of habit." Kazuma said
"Speaking of which, Kushina, I have good news for you… ………"
…………
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I… I did… I said that! But…I instinctively remember fighting you!" Kazuma said
"You didn't fight me, Orochimaru…" It just came to him "Come out of hiding Orochimaru!"
It took a second and Arashi heard a low foul chuckling.
"I'm surprised it took you so long Arashi." Said a voice
"Yeah, I knew it." Arashi said, "I knew there was a reason why Kazuma changed so much. It was because he was manipulated by you!"
Orochimaru appeared in his usual purple and white robes. "Now I find Kazuma is no more than a nuisance now." Orochimaru charged at Kazuma and sliced through his stomach. Arashi didn't know what happened before it was too late. Kazuma fell to the ground.
"K-Kazu… KAZUMA!!!" Arashi yelled
Orochimaru laughed loudly, "You're next Arashi."
Sasuke heard a loud chuckling, one he could never forget. "I've found you Orochimaru!" Sasuke wasted no time in speeding up.
'Itachi…You and our clan will finally be avenged by the true murderer!'
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"He's there!" Naruto said
"I'm going back Naruto, you might need my power." Kyuubi said
"Thanks Kyu," Naruto said
Kyuubi disappeared in a dark red chakra. As he did, Naruto's eyes turned dark red and his whiskers got fiercer.
"I'm coming dad!"
"Naruto-chan, I'm coming" Hinata said to herself holding the box closer.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Damn you Orochimaru!" Arashi yelled "You… you have caused so many problems in this world already! You've not only tried to take my village, but created a village just to make yourself more powerful!" Arashi yelled "I can't take it anymore! You have caused not only my family concerning my brother, my wife, and my son, insurmountable pain but you have caused the same for the family I have in the village! Every single ninja that has been trained here, under my watch you have caused anguish and despair!! I cannot allow you to continue living any longer! You are a traitor of the leaf village and of the entire ninja community!!! Not only that you are a disgrace! Controlling others to do your own bidding is the most disgraceful thing I have ever heard of!!"
Orochimaru laughed "Disgrace means nothing when you are ruler of everything. I want every single village under my control. Everyone to fall under my control! And thanks to your foolish brother, I am able to do this!" Orochimaru said. He took out a glowing yellow paper. A paper that had Kazuma Uzumaki scribbled on it. He ripped it in half; the glow faded and receded back into his sleeve.
"Orochimaru, I once revered you for your constant perseverance and above par skills. But now, I have but the utmost hatred for you!" Arashi created the same sword that Kazuma did, and charged at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru flicked it away and stabbed Arashi as well.
"For every person under my control, I receive their power when I release them. I have the power of Itachi Uchiha and now that of Kazuma Uzumaki." Orochimaru chuckled
"D-damn you." Arashi fell
Orochimaru unsheathed his blade to finally kill Arashi. Just as he was going to thrust down, but a yellow flash blinded him.
A spiky haired boy appeared with Arashi over his shoulders.
"…Na…Naruto" Arashi said weakly "You shouldn't have come."
"I wanted to, Kyu told me everything. How Pein is your brother, Kazuma, that you were gonna sacrifice yourself." Naruto said
"That… loudmouth demon…" Arashi said "I knew I shoulda… kept his mouth sealed."
"So, the nine tails shows himself." Orochimaru said
"Shut your trap Orochimaru." Naruto said, Naruto looked around at the scene. A man in a cloak who looked a lot like his dad, he thought this was Kazuma, and a young woman with red hair. "Who's the girl? His partner?"
"Yeah, and… she's your mom Naruto; She's Kushina. She was under control." Arashi struggled to talk
"My…Mom?" Naruto was stunned. There was no mistaking it, it was the woman he saw in the Uzumaki compound.
"Stay here dad." Naruto said
"So, let us see if the Nine Tails is worthy to become part of my power!" Orochimaru smiled as he licked his sword.
Naruto glowed a blood red and spouted three tails. His eyes turned to slits and his canines enlarged. He grew claws sharper than the strongest metals. Naruto dropped to the floor and looked up.
"Time for you to die Orochimaru." Naruto said plainly
Naruto ran toward Orochimaru and barraged him with claw attack after claw attack. Orochimaru blocked everything, almost like he knew what attack Naruto was going to use before he did. Naruto used all he could with what he had. Used kunai, but were useless, in fact all tools were. Nothing even got close to him. Everything Naruto tried felt like it was in vain. He wasn't even sure the Rasengan would be enough anymore. No he was sure the original Rasengan would do nothing. Everything Naruto tried was either dodged to leave ruin in the place it was in, or blocked with no damage to Orochimaru.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Arashi crawled to his brother; he saw where Orochimaru had cut him. And felt the wound.
"Thank god, for his crappy aim." Arashi said head down.
"You…you're telling me bro." Kazuma said weakly
"Hey, there's the Kazu, I know." Arashi said smiling. "How've you been bro?"
"Completely helpless because I was controlled by a crossdressing pedophile for fourteen years."
"Sooo bad then huh?" Arashi joked trying to sit up against a rock. "How's the wound?"
"Not bad, I've had worse." Kazuma said taking off his cloak to get a better look. "Hey, where's Kushina?"
"She's over there. She should be better in a while." Arashi said
"Yeah, sorry about the whole, controlling your wife and pitting her against you thing." Kazuma said
"Ah no worries." Arashi said
Kushina stirred and got herself up.
"Hah! That doctor is a quack! Said I wouldn't be able to move afterwar… where am I?" Kushina asked
"Does she not remember anything?" Arashi asked
"Nope, nothing since that day." Kazuma said "For her time stopped. That's why she looks like she hasn't aged any, and why I haven't. Orochimaru's jutsu, a failed project. Said it would keep only those he controls young, not himself. But… that doesn't explain why you're still young."
"Well, I've been dead for twelve years. And I was brought back with the undead resurrection." Arashi explained
"Sounds reasonable. To think; Orochimaru is the cause of all this, yet… If it wasn't for him, I'd still be under his control, you'd be dead and Kushina under mine." Kazuma said
"You're right." Arashi said "Hey Kushina! We're over here!" Arashi waved
Kushina recognized the voice
"Hey Arashi… where's the baby?" She asked
Arashi pointed up.
Kushina was confused, how could a newly born child be in the air? She looked up and saw a small version of Arashi fighting a legendary sennin
"Is… is that…"
Arashi nodded "It's Naruto. Congratulations, Kushina, you are a Mom."
"How long was I out?" Kushina asked noticing the boy was only a couple of years younger than her.
"Hey, Kushina?" Kazuma said
"Huh?" Kushina looked "Kazu! You're back!"
"Yeah, but… we're kinda bleeding to death here, so if you would?" Kazuma asked
"Oh!" Kushina muffled her scream. "I swear you boys are always getting hurt. You're lucky I participated in that idea of Tsunade's or you two would have been dead long ago." She pulled back her sleeves and worked on Arashi first.
"Ahhh That's my girl. I've missed you for sooooo long!" Arashi said hugging her
"Give me a break, it was only a day." Kushina said blushing
"For you it was a day, for me it was an eternity!" Arashi said
Kushina laughed it off and started healing Kazuma as she was done with Arashi.
"Don't move for a while guys, you're not fully healed yet. I'd be surprised of you guys could even..."
Both Kazuma and Arashi tried to get up but fell right back down.
"What did I just say?!!!" Kushina yelled

Naruto was at a loss.
"It's no use demon, you have no power here. I have the power of the greatest ninjas in the world! I have the power of Kazuma Uzumaki, I have the power of countless clans! More importantly, I have the power of every Akatsuki member! Hidan," he ripped a paper that had his name. "Kakuzu," again another similar paper. "Deidara, Sasori, Zetsu, Kisame, and Itachi Uchiha!"
"You have the power of Itachi Uchiha, huh?" said a voice
A chirping sound could be heard through the woods. Then a blue light slashed Orochimaru. Orochimaru looked to see who it was that slashed him, and saw a spiky haired boy with a blue sword in hand.
"Then this should be fun." Sasuke said
"Ahh, Sasuke. It seems you've found me." Orochimaru said, as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. "How's that mark I gave you?" he appeared next to Sasuke.
"Gone, I didn't like how it looked." Sasuke said
"WHAT?!" Orochimaru yelled "What do you mean my mark is gone?! How could you have destroyed my mark?!"
"That's none of your business, what matters is, you were controlling Itachi, You are the true masochist of my clan." Sasuke said, "For that I will kill you."
"Try it Uchiha." Orochimaru said
"Naruto! Stay out of this fight, do you understand?!" Sasuke yelled
"No! He's hurt my family too! He tried to kill my Dad!!" Naruto yelled
"He has killed my entire family!" Sasuke yelled
"This is my fight too Teme!!" Naruto yelled
"I know it is, but for now, I want you to stay out. I don't know if I can control this attack just yet." Sasuke said
Naruto hesitated for a second than went back to his regular form and used the yellow flash to get out of the way.
"Orochimaru, prepare for this." Sasuke held his mother's sword high in the air. A gigantic storm cloud formed over Sasuke.
"What is this?!" Orochimaru didn't know what the hell was happening. Lightning struck every which way, and Sasuke's blade was the cause of it.
All forms of lightning entered Sasuke's sword. "This… is the true Raikiri!" He brought the sword down. And slashed it through the air, a bolt followed it's path. He went for Orochimaru with the sword and crashed with his hand.
"You think this will harm me?" Orochimaru asked smugly
"No, but this will." Sasuke said the sword created a blast that slashed straight through Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's face froze, he had been cut in two.
His body fell to the floor. Halfway, he was charred on both sides.
"Die in agony Orochimaru." Sasuke said
As Sasuke said that, his sword turned black and crumbled in his hands. "My mother's sword. I guess I won't be needing it anymore, knowing she's resting in piece now."
Orochimaru chuckled.
Sasuke looked back and saw his top half come after him with a sword. He barely dodged it.
"How?!!!"
"The powers of Hidan's immortality." Orochimaru explained. "The regeneration powers of Zetsu."
His body returned to one.
" The eyes of Itachi." his eyes glowed a light red, not sharingan but to Sasuke it was just as dangerous.
"Naruto! Tagout!" Sasuke yelled
Naruto jumped from where he was and activated three-tailed form again.
"He's stronger than before. He's utilizing their powers now." Sasuke said
"Yeah, I figured. What do we do?" Naruto asked
"We have to find his weakness. Find something that will harm him." Sasuke explained
"Fine." Naruto said
Sasuke rushed forward and unleashed a gokyakyu. Orochimaru had blown through it. Naruto tried using his Kage Bunshin for a barrage attack, but Orochimaru had destroyed each one that came his way. Not one got close. Sasuke activated the Magenkyo Sharingan to use attacks from previous battles, Lee's taijutsu did nothing since he couldn't get close to him, He tried to use Ameterasu which he saw Itachi use, it was ineffective, he even tried using attacks he's only seen once, such as the Water Dragon from Zabuza. But all fell through. Naruto used the speed and power he received from Kyuubi's chakra, every attack was devastating only to the battlefield. Orochimaru was still unscathed. Both of them were running out of options. Orochimaru would soon start attacking them. Sasuke still tried every attack he has learned over the years, from Fire style, to Earth, Wind, Water, attacks he's never even learned properly.
Naruto knew and he knew Sasuke knew that they were outmatched. Summons would be a waste, Ninjutsu takes up too much chakra, genjutsu would most likely be broken and Taijutsu was not possible. Naruto knew there was one attack he had to try.
Sasuke knew and he knew Naruto knew that they couldn't beat him with his power. The dragon couldn't do much in this situation, Ninjutsu was almost an impossibility at this point, Genjutsu couldn't be performed, and taijutsu wasn't doing much of anything. Sasuke knew there was one attack he had to try.
"Chidori!"
"Rasengan!"
Both orbs slammed into Orochimaru's stomach. As they did, they touched for one moment and exploded. All three went flying.
Naruto reverted back to his normal form and was passed out, Sasuke had as well. Orochimaru however had been hurt but was still walking toward the two boys.
"You two… have been a thorn in my side for long enough!" he said taking his sword out. "I'll kill you first Uzumaki! That damned fox has been a nuisance from the beginning." He ran at the fallen Naruto sword in hand. "Die Uzumaki!!!"
As he brought his sword down, he noticed, he hadn't stabbed him. Someone was over him protecting him from harm.
Naruto stirred and saw a shadow over him. He didn't want to believe it…
"Na… Naruto…" said the voice of the person, "I… I'm sorry."
The body of the person fell on Naruto. Naruto's eyes were filled with tears. It was, as he feared.
"Hi…Hinata…" Naruto said shaking. It was her, she had got in the way of the sword. "Please… don't die!"
He got to his knees as he laid her on the ground. The stab went straight through her heart. Her closed eyes were filled with tears.
"Don't die! Don't DIE!!!" Naruto pleaded. But it was too late. Hinata was dead.
It was just as in his dreams. Him crying over a dead Hinata holding her in his arms. A figure of darkness laughing madly. Naruto dropped his grasp on Hinata.
"You… You Asshole! I'm…G-gonna kill you! OROCHIMARU!!!!!!!" Naruto had gone from a regular ninja to a roaring beast with eight tails.
