A/N: Wow, people are actually reading this. That kinda makes me proud *bursts into anime-style tears* YOU REALLY DO CARE! *Gathers himself* Ahem, well, here's the conclusion of the fight scene. Read on, my sadistic, psychotic, nutjob fans!
Previously on FOSTO: "Remember who you are assigned to, and don't forget, finish quickly for the finale," he ordered. The response was a chorus of "Hai, Naruto-koi!" as they all charged the last of Konoha no Aka.
The assassins separated into three groups: Naruto and Mikoto headed right towards Sasuke, Kyuubi and the rest headed towards Madara and Kabuto.
With Naruto and Mikoto
Both combatants clashed for what would be the final time. After the first pass, even Sasuke knew that this would be the fight of his life. 'Unbelievable,' thought the Hokage. 'Since when did the dobe become so strong?' Trying to play it off, Sasuke spoke "is that all you got, loser?"
"Not in a million years, teme," growled his enemy.
"Once I kill you, all of those women will help repopulate my clan," said the king of arrogance. At that, all of the woman growled and nearly abandoned the plan in favor of neutering the bastard. The female assassins checked themselves, and continued to combat their designated opponents.
"You are the embodiment of everything that was wrong with our clan," said Mikoto. "I am ashamed that I even have these accursed eyes."
"You dare call yourself an Uchiha?" demanded her son.
"No, I am no longer Mikoto Uchiha. I am now Mikoto Uzumaki-Namikaze, an Assassin. And FYI, I never wanted to have you, but that bastard Fugaku raped me, then left me as a plaything to the rest of the clan. I'm glad that they are all dead, save for Itachi. He was the only decent Uchiha to ever come from this demon spawn of a clan. He spared both of us because out of love* (A/N: In my story, Itachi did not kill his mom, as she was not planning the coup. He simply took her in a hidden location until Naruto found her. With Tsukiyomi, Itachi fooled Sasuke into thinking that he murdered their parents. After all, Tsukiyomi is a genjutsu in which the caster controls every aspect. So it's not too far out of the realm of possibility that Itachi could alter the 'memory' that he replayed for Sasuke). And yet you killed him!" was her reply
"… You'll be the first one that I take after I kill the dobe," stated the Uchiha.
"Not on your life, you bastard!" shouted Naruto. And with that, the combatants joined battle once more. As the Uchiha and his mother, the raven-haired man looked at his nemesis, dojutsu blazing. "Amaterasu," he whispered.

Kyuubi & co. vs. Madara and Kabuto.
"So, the fox-bitch wants to play with me again?" Snarked the Uchiha founder.
"Madara, after tricking me not once, but twice, your punishment will be the worst imaginable," intoned the greatest of the Bijuu. Everyone still alive could hear the venom practically dripping from her words.
"If that's so, then why haven't you killed us already?" remarked Kabuto.
"Because you will do more than die, you will suffer for all you crimes against us," explained Anko. Ever since her bonding to Naruto, her curse mark had been destroyed, making her free of Orochimaru's (and later Kabuto's) control. With that obstacle gone, the Snake Mistress began to plot her vengeance against the master who betrayed both her and Konoha. Since Orochimaru had been 'killed,' her target for revenge had shifted to another of the snake's apprentices: Kabuto.
"Regardless, I will enjoy taking you all, you in particular Kyuubi," chuckled Madara.
"Not on your life, you sons of bitches! Girls, NOW!" commanded Kyuubi. At that, the rest of the woman except Anko jumped away, forming a large circle around Kyuubi, Madara, Anko, and Kabuto. The circling Assassins then planted their weapons in the ground, knelt to one knee, and began to simultaneously chant and form a long complicated series of hand seals.
"What are the doing?" asked a slightly curious Madara.
"A jutsu that we have spent all this time creating. Ninpo: Kyushu no Izanami (Ninja Art: Revenge of Izanami)!" exclaimed the redhead. With the command given, a black miasma spread from the women forming the circle, encompassing everything inside the circle. 'Fools! They have they forgotten that even the lowest of Sharingan's can see through genjutsu's?' though Madara while chuckling. With that, he proceeded to activate his dojutsu. Or rather, he tried to, and to his quickly growing horror, found that he could not activate his Sharingan!
####################################################################################################################################
As the (un)holy black flames sped toward him, Naruto thought 'Well, time to see if this sword lives up to the legend.' With that thought in his mind, Naruto positioned his katana as if to block another blade. Then the flames hit
The first thing that Naruto thought was 'HOT HOT HOT HOT!' While appearing as simple black flames, the fire of Amaterasu was actually much more than that. It is said that the fires are actually the same flames that the goddess Amaterasu used to create the sun, meaning that Amaterasu easily outclassed every other Katon jutsu. However, because of the Uchiha's ability to use the Tsukiyomi jutsu, it was not so. (Tsukiyomi is Amaterasu's brother in Japanese mythology. In the tale, the goddess banished her bother to the moon after he killed the goddess of food. To get the full story, look it up!) Consequently, while the flames were not as strong as the sun's, they were nonetheless extremely hot.
Gritting his teeth against the pyrokinetic attack, the blonde-haired assassin utilized all of his considerable strength and poured youki into his blade. To the Hokage's astonishment, the flames appeared to recede, then vanish completely into the blade. Once the last ember was absorbed into his katana, Naruto whipped it around his head, creating a large sonic boom behind him as he assumed the classic kendo ready stance.
"Dobe, what did you do?" asked and astounded (though he would never believe it) Sasuke.
"Simple, I just took away your most powerful ninjutsu," came the condescending reply.
What does that blade do? And how come a dead last like you has it. It should be in the hands of an Uchiha!" demanded Sasuke.
"… For one, someone like you could never wield this blade. Your Sharingan is of no use in wielding it, for once this blade is drawn, no other techniques aside from taijutsu can be used in conjunction with it. In essence, this blade makes me a pure physical combatant. Also, this is not ordinary blade, it is sentient, and its name is Meibastsu (Divine Punishment). This blade judges who is worthy to wield it, and has chosen me. It is a partnership, an interdependent relationship that an asshole like you could never understand! You, Sasuke, who always sought the easy way, could never wield this blade.
"You dare mock me, an Uchiha? Someone like you has no skill. I am an Uchiha, and can do whatever the hell I want! Chidorigatana!" exclaimed the enraged Uchiha. A blade electricity shot out of his chokuto, but not towards, Naruto, but Mikoto instead!
####################################################################################################################################
"So, the fox bitch want to play in the dark, eh?" chuckled Madara. "This will be all too easy." However, the founder of the Uchiha clan was not as calm as his voice would suggest. In fact, he was practically having a nervous breakdown about now. For one, he could not feel Kyuubi's youki, or even his own chakra!
"What'ssss thissss?" Hissed Kabuto. Apparently, he had figured it out as well, and was as pleased about it as Madara was.
"So, finally figured it out, you bastard?" came Anko's sickly sweet voice through the darkness. At that, everyone, Madara included shivered. That was a voice that promised pain. A lot of pain. As in untold amounts of hellish torture that would make an eternity in the Shingami's stomach seem like a paper cut in comparison.
"This ninpo sucks out all light and chakra inside a particular area. In short, none of us can utilize any Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or even mold chakra. So, both of you are at a total disadvantage." Explained a sadistically smiling (though no one could see it) Kyuubi. "You, Madara, whose accursed eyes will be your downfall, and you Kabuto, whose reliance on ninjutsu will cost you your life."
"Ssssso what? Have you forgotten that we are the mosssst powerful sssssssshinobi in existenccccce?" asked a sweating Kabuto. Without his ability to summon his undead minions, he was screwed.
"Yes, so what?" echoed Madara, although he began to feel something he had not felt in a long, long time; geniuine fear.
####################################################################################################################################
Though she had just slaughtered hundreds of people, even Mikoto could be caught off-guard. She was so surprised that she could not dodge the oncoming electricity. Suddenly, a black blur appeared in front of her, which was soon revealed to be her husband and mate, Naruto. Once again, the ex-jinchuuriki blocked a jutsu with Meibastsu, and as with Amaterasu, the electricity was absorbed into the midnight black steel. Once the shock had worn off, Mikoto and Naruto sprang into action, Mikoto to the left, Naruto to the right. The raven-haired woman was the first to reach Sasuke, and came forward with an overhead strike, seemingly intent on cleaving her bastard son in two.
Unfortunately, the bastard son in question was able to block the attack easily enough, as his accursed bloodline predicted the move with ease. However, what the 'almighty Sharingan' had failed to see was that Naruto had launched himself high into the air. "You want to see one of my techniques, teme? Here's one for you! Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Ryutsuisen (Dragon Hammer Strike {I do not own Rurouni Kenshin either!})!" Exclaimed Naruto. And with that, he came crashing down upon Sasuke. Though the Uchiha blocked it, it was not without cost. As soon as his blade disengaged from Mikoto's the latter preformed a kenjutsu technique of her own.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Ryukansen (Dragon Spiral Strike)!" she cried. And with that, she spun 360 degrees and delivered a devastating backhand cut upon her 'son's' back. The blow's recipient cried in pain as this was the first time in a long time that he had been severely wounded, and fell to his knees. Staggering back to his feet, Sasuke saw both of his opponents simply standing there. "… Again," they whispered in unison. Once again, Mikoto flanked to the left, and Naruto to the right and up high. However, the Hokage was knew what was coming, and counterattacked.
Performing the necessary hand seals, he called out "Katon: Goryuka no Jutsu!" and with that, a massive fireball in the shape of a dragon's head sped towards the airborne Assassin.
####################################################################################################################################
Though caught off guard by the sudden loss of chakra usage, Madara had not lived centuries to be undone by the mere loss of chakra. Any decent shinobi knew how to fight without it, Kakashi, Might Gai and Rock Lee being prime examples. But the loss of his eyes, that is what Madara feared the most.
Once n his life, he had lost his eyesight due to the over usage of his Mangekyo Sharingan. By taking the eyes of his own brother, Madara not only regained his vision, but unlocked a new level of his clan's dojutsu: the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. With these eyes, Madara could seemingly phase in and out of existence, in addition to wielding Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Susanoo without fear of blindness. Formidable though he was, the Uchiha clan founder was forced to use the ultimate genjutsu on himself in his fight with Konan: Izanagi. This allowed its user to cross the boundaries between reality and illusion, making mortal wounds seem as if they never really happened.
However, the price for such power is steep, even for the Uchiha who valued power over all else. Once used, the eye that cast Izanagi was forever closed, blind. For this reason, it was classified as a kinjutsu. But with his victory over Konan, Madara claimed Pein's Rinnegan, and with that, he truly believed that he was immortal. That thought went out of his mind when the pain ripped through his body.
"How doe it feel, Madara?" growled Kyuubi. "Have you forgotten the feeling of pain? Pathetic."
Despite appearing as a giant nine-tailed fox in her attacks on Konoha, Kyuubi very rarely took that form. For one, it was simply too big! And the trees kept getting stuck in her paws, and the amount of food that form consumed, it was simply too much. That giant bestial form was her original form. When Madara tricked her both times, he stripped her of all freewill. That included her ability to choose what form she took, and so she appeared in her 'true' form when Minato sealed her inside her now husband/mate. Once Naruto broke the seal, half of her power returned, while the remainder was still held within him, making both of them hanyous. With the thought of her mate and sister wives, Kyuubi charged Madara once again, fully intending to rend him limb from limb.
Meanwhile, Kabuto was feeling the exact same way as Madara was: pure, consuming, all-encompassing fear. Without the use of chakra, he was useless (not really, as in Part I, he fought with his nervous system scrambled, but hey, that was when he had backup too. Now, he's going up against someone who completely outclasses him in every way. Did I forget to mention that his opponent is seemingly an insane psychopath?). And then he heard it. That chuckling that helped give Konoha's former snake mistress her insane reputation.
"Ooooh Kabuto-kun? Come out come out wherever you are!" with those words said in such a sickeningly sweet voice, Kabuto nearly shit himself. "Oh come on Kabuto-kun, I just wanna play!" That did it; the Orochimaru wannabe lost all control of his bowels. "Ah, there you are, and… oh my, little Kabuto-chan messed himself!" the pineapple head feigned surprise. "Oh well, no matter. Now, play time!"
And with that, shrieks of pain could be heard by everyone, causing them all to shiver/cringe. 'Kami, I am soooooo glad that she is on our side,' Thought all of the Assassins. Then, Anko exclaimed, "Hey, now I got some real snakeskin, and a fancy new necklace! And a pair of earrings too (A/N: just think for a second and you get it in 3… 2… 1… Now)!" This caused every male to stop for a second and cover himself. And this allowed Kyuubi to sweep in and attack Madara once again.
####################################################################################################################################
'Note to self, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER make Anko-chan mad EVER again!' her husband thought. Considering that he dodged a gigantic fireball by contorting himself in midair, it was a surprise to himself that he was able to think of nothing that was immediate. Nonetheless, the threat was avoided, and Naruto pressed his advantage. Sasuke, whose arrogance knows no bounds, thought that he finally got the dobe looking the other way.
He was currently engaging his mother in an epic duel, until the heard the cry "Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Ryutsuisen!" come from above. At that instant, Mikoto crouched down and positioned the edge of her blade down. "Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Ryushosen (Soaring Dragon Flight)!" she cried, while simultaneously springing into action, bringing her blade up in a 180 degree arc so that the cutting edge was now facing skywards. It was at that point that the teme knew his was screwed. He could either block the attack from above or below, but not both. Mikoto's attack this time, the last male Uchiha somehow deflected his mother's blade to the side.
But as predicted, he was not able to raise his weapon in time to parry Naruto's strike. And boy, what a strike it was. Meibastsu cut clean through the Uchiha's right shoulder, severing it with brutal grace. As blood spurted from the stump, Sasuke screamed in unbearable pain and collapsed once more. This time however, he was unable to stand up.
Slowly, the Uchiha's mother and rival approached the downed man. All of a sudden, Mikoto stomped on Sasuke's legs, while Naruto did the same to the remaining arm. The results were as follows: every single bone in each extremity was shattered. Once again, Sasuke cried out in agony, but was unable to do anything. Once the pair was sure that their target wasn't going anywhere, they began to do separate things; Mikoto sheathed her sword, and unsheathed a wicked looking dagger, while Naruto also sheathed his sword, and held a palm out in from of him, above the Uchiha's head.
"Since you value that those eyes so much, I suppose you don't want these do you?" Mikoto asked her son in an emotionless voice. And with that, she began to saw away at his sack with her dagger. Once again, the last male-soon-to-be-neutered Uchiha screamed, this time louder, longer, and more agonizingly until Naruto put his boot on Sasuke's throat, reducing the shrieks to pain-filled gurgles. All the while, Naruto continued to focus on his outstretched palm. Soon, chakra began to swirl and condense into a Rasenshuriken. However, this particular specimen had every other element infused in it as well. Earth, Fire, Lightning and Water occupied each of the spokes, with wind encompassing all of them.
Meanwhile, Mikoto continued to slowly part the skin that held her son's jewel with her blades. Having finally exposed them, she proceeded to take them into her hand, taking great care not to completely sever the tendons connecting them to Sasuke. She placed them on the ground, and then slowly stood up. "You deserve this," was all his mother said. Mikoto then proceeded to lift up her left boot and brought it down on the little Uchiha juniors in a curb stomp that equaled the one that Naruto ended Sakura's life with. And with that, any remote chance that the Uchiha clan could be founded was eradicated.
Predictably, the man whose balls were literally busted screamed, or rather tried to. But the boot on his throat kept it to a gurgle. Both Mikoto and Naruto stood there in silence for several minutes, letting their hated opponent endure this indescribable pain. Finally, Naruto spoke. "Now Sasuke, your life is at an end." And with that, Naruto flipped the palm with the elemental Rasenshuriken so that the jutsu faced its victim. "Ninpo: Gogyo Rasenshuriken (Ninja Art: Five Element Rasenshuriken)!" he exclaimed as he plunged the elemental vortex into his hated foe's body. And then everything flashed white.
Long ass Flashback no Jutsu Kai!
"… And that's how we came to be in the clearing that you found us in," finished the black-clad man.
A/N: Finally done! Damn, that chapter took longer than expected. And yes I know I went overboard with the teme's castration, but it had to be done. Now, a rundown of the techniques used in the chappie:

BTW, all (except the first and last) techniques are actually used in their respective universes. The two I created are based off of conclusions that I came to while reading the Naruto manga. After all, if the Rasenshuriken can utilize wind chakra, why the other elements? Anyways, read and review like always, or you'll get a Gogyo Rasenshuriken up yer ass! Anyways, merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
