A/N: So I finally finished chp 3 hope you enjoy
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Naruto or Trigun
There was a storm brewing over head. It had been brewing for quite some time now. The earthshaking rumble of the thunder, the black storm clouds blocking all signs light 'cept for the brief flashes of lightning striking the earth violently with a random precision. All of this was evidence that this would be one of the most violent and volatile storms that Hi no kuni had ever seen. Thus it was a fitting backdrop for the battle that was about to take place at the most fitting location for a battle of such epic proportions, The Valley of the End.
"Sasuke!" yelled a furious Naruto "don't you realize that the snake bastard only wants you for your body?"
"Of course I realized that, but he is also going to make me strong while all that weak little village has done is drag me down." Replied Sasuke in a cold emotionless tone
"Since I was six all I have done is train for and dream of the day when I would finally be able to accomplish my goal of killing my brother. Even before that I had always wanted to surpass him, yet I wasn't even able to lay a fucking finger on him. All because that STUPID little village believes that strength come from making bonds with one another. News Flash for you Dobe real strength comes from relying on no one but yourself; only the weak need help from others." Ranted Sasuke before letting a very scary very psychotic grin cross his lips "and now just to prove my point I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" laughing maniacally as he finished.
"NO! That's BULLSHIT and you know it Sasuke. Those bonds do make you strong. It's because of those bonds that we give our lives to protect one another. It's that lack of the fear of death that makes us…" Naruto began to reply but before he could finish Sasuke had cut him off with a powerful uppercut to his chin
"You fool how did you expect to bring me back? Did you plan on lecturing me until my ears bleed and I submitted just to get you to stop blabbering?" Sasuke asked rhetorically "I hate to let you know this…" he began before leaning into Naruto so that he could whisper in his ear "But I would rather die before I go back to that weak-ass village." He then kneed Naruto in the stomach effectively lifting off the ground before following up with a quick but powerful left cross. The force of said punch sent him flying into a nearby tree forcing it to splinter into his back while knocking the air out of his lungs. Sensing that he had the upper hand Sasuke the activated his Sharingan before making the necessary hand signs for one of his signature jutsus before yelling "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu(1)" spitting a very large fireball at the blonde boy who he considered his best friend… his brother fully intending to kill him.
'Damn he's really trying to kill me. I guess I have no choice I'm going to have to fight back if I even want to live' thought Naruto before feeding chakra to his legs leaping through the fireball to charge Sasuke.
Leaping through Sasuke's fireball definitely wasn't one of Naruto's best plans as evidenced by his orange jacket being burnt off his body leaving Naruto in only his mesh undershirt and orange pants, however this move did manage to surprise Sasuke leaving him wide open for a counter attack. Capitalizing on this Naruto threw a huge looping right hook. Sasuke saw this punch coming from a mile away a quickly stepping back to avoid the punch, however when Naruto realized that his punch was gonna miss its mark he quickly used his momentum to flip forward driving an axe kick into the top of Sasuke's head. Continuing into a roll Naruto decided to press his advantage by springing up delivering a devastating uppercut to the chin of that last Uchiha lifting him off his feet and throwing him on his back.
*Pants* "Sasuke you're coming back with me even if I have to break both your arms and legs then drag you back by your short hairs, but you ARE coming back with me" yelled Naruto who was getting increasingly more furious at his best friends attempts on his life.
It was then that Naruto heard a very familiar popping sound as the Sasuke in front of him poofed out of existence revealing that it was a Kage Bushin.
"You know I really should thank you for throwing that technique around so often it made it really easy to copy." Naruto heard Sasuke say but unfortunately for Naruto, Sasuke was no where to be found. It was the that Naruto heard "Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu(2)" as Sasuke's hands reach up from under where he was standing grabbing his ankles before pulling him into the ground
Sasuke then appearing before him flipped through some familiar hand signs before grabbing his right wrist. He then heard the familiar chirping sound before Sasuke yelled out his "Chidori!"
At this point Naruto had lost all control of his anger at having his friend go through such lengths to kill him. At this point the Kyuubi easily slipped his foul chakra it Naruto's system letting it fuel his rage and giving him the upper hand. As Naruto's eyes changed color from deep pools of cerulean to a bloody crimson color and his pupils then slit. His canines then lengthened and his nails turned to claws he burst out of the ground using pure strength alone.
"NOT THIS TIME TEME! I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY!" yelled a demonically charged Naruto. Then with inhuman speed Naruto appeared before the last Uchiha slamming his head into the ground. He then followed it up with a swift kick to Sasuke's stomach
Sasuke couldn't believe it in a matter of seconds the dead last went from surely dead to pounding the snot out of him 'It just shouldn't be possible when is the Dobe this strong and fast.'
'Damn Fox. I'm really trying not to kill the Teme here, but the Damn Fox is giving me too much power.' Thought Naruto as It was getting more and more difficult to string together coherent thoughts due to the Fox's influence.
'I need to be able to see him if I want to win but how I'm already using my Sharingan' thought Sasuke just as the feral blonde appeared in front of him slammed his face into the blonde's knee. As he flew back from the ferocity of the blow Sasuke's world suddenly slowed down dramatically and he began to see new colors that one could only see with some form of Doujutsu. It was then that he realized that his Sharingan had fully matured and that he could even the slightest of movements made by Naruto.
With this new development the tide of the battle shifted again. It was Sasuke's turn to beat Naruto into a bloody pulp.
"Fuck" shouted Naruto as Sasuke then proceeded to string together a series of vicious punches and kicks to Naruto's body sending him into the cliff face
It was at this point that Naruto heard that familiar whisper at the back of his mind. It was just repeating one thought over and over 'KILL THE TEME KILL HIM!' the thought kept getting louder and louder until it was all Naruto could think of 'Dammit if I want to live I just might have to kill Sasuke. I just wish this damn Baka-Fox would shut the fuck up.'
"Ha is that the best you've got Dobe how do you expect to bring me back if you can't even lay a finger on me." Said a cold Sasuke
Naruto then growled venomously as he began drawing on so much of the fox's chakra that it literally was seeping out of his pores. The foul chakra then began to take a shape around Naruto giving him the appearance of a one tailed fox. Naruto moving even faster launched himself out of the full body imprint that was made of him on the cliff wall. He charged at Sasuke hitting him square across the jaw. Quickly following an air born Sasuke, Naruto appeared behind him delivering a spinning roundhouse to his back sending him into the same cliff face that he was sent into. Without giving him a reprieve Naruto charged up a Rassengan before ramming it into his back.
"Ahh" was all Sasuke could yell as he felt a Rassengan rammed into his back. He then fell back against the ground clinging to what little consciousness he had left.
It was at this time that a familiar blonde kunoichi arrived at the battlefield. Quickly taking note of the destroyed landscape she began looking for our blonde hero. When she spotted the bloody mess wrapped in the tattered orange jumpsuit that was Naruto, she felt her breath catch in her throat. Naruto who had heard Ino's gasp and slowly turned to face her as he felt her murderous killing intent leveled at him.
"Uh… Hey there Hime. What are you doing here?" asked a very nervous Naruto…silence was his only answer and he began sweating profusely.
.
.
.
CRACK
That was the only sound heard in the valley as Ino had slammed her fist into Naruto's face delivering her 'righteous womanly justice'
"What have I told you about doing something so stupid Baka?" growled Ino through clenched teeth.
"Well… Umm… you see… I… kindaforgotwhatyoutoldme." Replied Naruto while scratching the back of his head whilst he continued to sweat.
"Ungh… You… you… BAKA!" Ino began yelling before softening her tone "What I had said was that if you did anything stupid this time I wasn't letting you out of the village for a month."
"WHAT… you… you can't do that Hime." Yelled a pouting Naruto "I swear I'm not even hurt see" as he began pumping his fist in the air before wincing in pain at his dislocated right shoulder.
"See you are hurt and there's no way that I'm letting you out of my site." Teased Ino
"Seriously Naru-kun you have to be careful cause…"she began slowly beginning to sob "Cause I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Finally letting her tears fall as our blonde hero envelops her in a comforting hug
"Come on Ino-chan you should know that I'm not the easiest buffoon to kill. Besides you know how I am I would much rather put myself in harms way then to see anyone else get hurt, but if it makes you feel better I'll spend the next month with you on one condition." Said a very mischievous looking Naruto sporting his fox-like grin
"Not that you have any say in the matter buuut what is your condition?" asked Ino curiosity finally getting the best of her
As if seemingly on cue Naruto's fox-like grin did the impossible and not only got wider but foxier if you will "Well that's simple Ino-chan…" he began leaning in closer and letting his voice get just above a whisper "We can't leave my apartment for the next month."
Upon hearing this Ino's face lit right up at the implications of what Naruto just said. When out of the corner of her eye she saw Sasuke charging at Naruto while he was facing her. Reacting quickly without a second thought she grabbed Naruto and spun him around putting her back to Sasuke just as he plunged his Chidori into her chest.
Seeing Sasuke's hand sticking out of Ino's chest Naruto couldn't control himself he quickly launched himself at Sasuke kicking him back into the cliff face. Turning back towards Ino he began to cry cradling her head against his chest
"WHY? WHY did you do it I would have survived. Please Ino-chan PLEASE don't leave me. I've been alone for so long I don't know if I could go back now." Cried an increasingly desperate Naruto.
"Baka you really think that your indestructible don't you?" said Ino coughing the entire way through "I did this because I love you and couldn't stand the thought of you getting hurt and well here I am." She finished hoarsely "Admittedly it wasn't exactly my brightest idea ever." She wheezed jokingly before getting serious again "Naruto listen to me you're not alone anymore even when I leave you still have friends and people who have become that family that you always wanted."
"But even with them there'll still be a huge hole in my heart that can never be filled." Sobbed Naruto
"Baka… (cough)… don't worry I'll always… (cough)… be with… you" replied Ino with the last breath that she would ever take.
"IINNOOOOO-CHHAAAAN!" Naruto screamed to the heavens as even they began to weep for the lose that the boy just suffered. Suddenly all of the pent up rage that Naruto had repressed spilt over as he took a look at the person who had caused this whole mess.
After hearing Naruto's scream Sasuke could only smirk as he knew what had just transpired, when he suddenly felt an oppressive Killing Intent focused solely at him. As he turned to face Naruto he was forced to shield his eyes from the blinding explosion of demon chakra.
As the massive amount of demonic chakra flooded his body Naruto felt a sharp pain in his hand as the seal that someone had placed there exploded releasing the weapon that Naruto had only used once but at a grave price. It was a metallic crimson red revolver with a black handle with a small red kyuubi engraved on it. Upon the appearance of this weapon the six tailed chakra cloak surrounding Naruto was sucked into the weapon
"If you have any last words Teme I would suggest that you say them now before I wipe any sign of your existence off of this planet." Said Naruto the venom dripping off his voice
'Damn he got the drop on me before because I underestimated him, but now that he's using that thing I don't know if I can survive.' Thought Sasuke before he clutched his neck as his cursed seal pulsed sending a dull throbbing pain into his neck. Remembering the power of his seal Sasuke smirked he knew how he would win. Sasuke then allowed his seal to take over quickly covering his body in a black flame tattoo swirling around his body before he exploded in an evil chakra. His skin turning a sickly grey, his eyes becoming jet black with gold irises, and finally two webbed hands erupted out of his back.
Feeling this change in Sasuke's chakra Naruto stopped trying to prevent the change that all of the Kyuubi's chakra flowing into his gun would cause. His arm then began to morph. His arm turned into a weapon, it was a blood red color with a hollow chamber in the center of it there were nine 'tails' if you will that connected the end of his arm to the barrel which was shaped like a fox head roaring. Inside the chamber was a dense menacing looking black ball with a second smaller but equally dense ball was forming at the mouth of his arm
"NOW YOU DIE TEME!" yelled Naruto as he fired the black ball of destruction.
"Shit there's no way I can dodge that thing; I hope that this works then' thought Sasuke who was willing his wings/hands to flash through hand signs at a lightning fast speed before yelling "CHIDORI" as his wing/hand was engulfed in lightning colliding with the dense sphere causing a bright powerful explosion
When it was all said and done Sasuke was still standing, if only barely, he was bleeding profusely having lost his right wing/hand. His vision was blurring as he felt his body begin to succumb to gravity he felt himself being sucked into a hole and blackness.

It was a peaceful morning in Konohagakure even though it was still early in the mourning the weather was perfect for walking around the town, or lay around watching clouds, but it could not stay like this not today at least.
"Jiraiya if you had to guess where would you rank Naruto's abilities?" asked the buxom Hokage
"Yes I have to say I was really surprised that I couldn't sense the main source of his chakra yesterday and only found the clone that he wanted me to find." Said Umino Iruka who many did not realize was one of Konoha's best sensors
"Really I had realized that he had changed a lot when I ran into him yesterday but to completely hide from you Iruka he must have developed some serious stealth skills." Mused Kakashi
"Bah… I highly doubt that Naruto-baka has those kind of skills I bet Iruka-sensei has just gotten rust with how infrequently he has had to use his abilities." Responded Sakura
"I would doubt his skills if I were you he is easily at my level when he goes all out. His only problems are his lack of experience, the amount of chakra that 'It' uses combined with his lack of control, and the idiot's still as rash as ever." Said Jiraiya the pride in his student evident in his voice,
This statement left all five occupants of the room floored because Jiraiya was one of Konoha's strongest shinobis then a realization suddenly hit Tsunade
"Wait you don't mean to say that he knows how to use 'That' do you?" she asked
"Not quite he still can't use its full power but he can use it without destroying everything around him but he only has six shots before he's out of chakra." replied Jiraiya
"Wow that's quite impre-" began Kakashi before an invisible force effectively silenced him and forced all occupants in the room but Jiraiya to their knees; it was so intense that Shizune, Sakura, And Iruka all actually threw up while both Kakashi and Tsunade both had trouble breathing in the wake of this force.
"Damn the Gaki must be having another flashback." Cursed Jiraiya
"You… you mean to tell me that this is Naruto that's causing this?" asked Sakura who was beginning to gain her bearings
"Yeah it happens occasionally when he dreams about that day" answered Jiraiya
"Jiraiya let me ask how often is occasionally?" asked a concerned Shizune
"Well I don't think that he remembers much form before that day. So it happens once or twice a month, but I think that once he starts remembering more it'll happen less and less." Answered Jiraiya
"What do you mean he doesn't remember much from before he knew exactly who I was, made a comment about remembering Rock-Lee and Gai, and as a coup de grate he pulled a Kakashi, very well I might add?" yelled Tsunade
"Yeah he actually pulled a Kakashi twice with me yesterday as well." Said Iruka who had finally gotten up as the pressure Naruto was releasing dissipated.
"Yes well some things he remembers others he remembers when they are in front of him and then there are those that he remembers unconsciously like the Kakashi moves." Answered the gama-sennin
"If you don't mind me asking what did he copy from me?" asked a very curious Kakashi
"Well when Lee was shouting something about his rival finally returning from his training trip Naruto merely looked up while picking his ear and said 'hm did you say something'" answered Tsunade
"With me he poofed away when I found him at the Hokage monument then after making plans to meet up with me he was over an hour late for FREE RAMEN and then when he was asked why he was late he said 'I got lost on the road of life.'" Said Iruka
Upon hearing this everyone became slack jawed "Well that settles it Shizune I want you to go get me Inoichi and Sakura I want you to go get me Naruto." Ordered Tsunade before looking at Kakashi with murder in her eyes causing the Cyclops to sweat nervously before she finally said in her most threatening tone "Kakashi you had better pay that not only does Naruto not start showing up late to everything or if I ever catch him walking around reading that little orange book then I'm going to beat you to within an inch of your life only to save you, I will then put Gai in charge of your hospice but I will then cut your hair into that God awful bowl cut and then throw you in one of his jumpsuits while you do nothing but D-ranked missions for three months AM. I. CLEAR." Growled Tsunade
Kakashi could only nod vigorously as he paled

Across town Sakura had just arrived at Naruto's apartment she slowly opened his door so as not to startle him. She then proceeded to his bed lightly shaking him to wake him up. He slowly began to stir with his eyes still closed he asked "Can't I just have five more minuets?"
"No Naruto you can't Tsunade-Shishio told me to come and get you"
Finally opening his eyes Naruto took a good hard look at the pinkette before finally saying "Alright, alright I'll go see the old lady, but do you mind if I ask you one thing?"
"Sure what did you want to know Naruto?"
"Well…Who are you?"
