They leapt tree branch to tree branch, with the storm unabating until Naruto dodged a kunai from the right by leaping to a branch on the left, Naruto looked and sensed around to find his sensei to no avail until Sasuke was in front of him.

"Naruto, you'll die here!" Sasuke said maniacally, with the Uchiha suddenly in front of Naruto, his ears were deafened by the Chidori, right before it was about to impale him he was slapped by Sakura.

"WHY?! I told you to bring him back! Not…" She trailed off and looked at the hospital behind Naruto covering her face. She shoved Naruto to the ground and went inside, with Kakashi next to Sakura doing nothing, looking at Naruto with misplaced disappointment, walking with Sakura shortly after.

As soon as it started it stopped, with Kanjokozui shaking Naruto's sweating and grimacing face to reality.

"Naruto!" Kanjokozui said firmly and continued, "Focus, do not limit yourself to the past my student."

Naruto nodded, continuing hesitantly to Uzu, suddenly a vortex appeared ahead of them.

Obito's formerly broken mask wasn't to be, and he wore bandages over the right part of his body, which hid his somewhat grotesque figure from prying eyes, with his left eye socket with an eye that had Indra's Mangekyou, which had a spiral design, with his original right Sharingan deactivated, showing his black coloured eyes, with Indra's eye being concealed with black coloured eye contacts.

Obito waved and said, "I have finished the implant, it is concealed by eye contacts," pointing at his left eye.

The two of them nodded and Obito said, "Where is our destination? I can get us there quickly with Kamui."

Naruto said, "Uzushiogakure, my ancestors' homeland."

Obito widened his eyes in awe and nodded, with no indication the three of them disappeared in a vortex, with Indra's eye unknowingly glowing.

-Uzushiogakure-

As soon as they appeared, they were nearly hit by a fire jutsu until unconsciously Indra's eye cancelled the jutsu out by creating a water jutsu in front of them, intercepting the fireball that created smoke.

Behind them unexpectedly were three red-haired people, one man, one woman, and one child, with the woman in the kneeling man's arms, her violet eyes closed.

The man stood up, slowly laying the woman on the ground with Naruto looking upon this in sadness, which turned to fury as he looked behind the dissipated smog.

Two men, who both had masks with black cloaks were in front of them. The green haired man scowled at the interruption, with the saying, "Who are you?!"

The question wasn't to be answered as Naruto in sheer anger used Bansho Tenin unintentionally and pulled the green haired man towards him and said, "Negative: Rasenshuriken!"

An orb of pure darkness swirled on his hand, in addition to the wind shuriken around it, which had an outline of Negative chakra.

Naruto flung the Negative Rasenshuriken to the man, who's scream was only a fraction of a second long as his entire being was sucked and sheared out of existence, erasing him completely, with the other man angered, he made hand seals and screamed, "Lightning Release: False Darkness."

Lightning came out of the man's mouth but Obito looked at the jutsu and reflected it back as a fireball.

Suddenly the man transformed his entire body in a prism-like crystal, Kanjokozui widened his eyes and said angrily for the first time in centuries which didn't go unnoticed by Naruto.

"Who… No, what are you?" The ground began to shake and aetherial chains bounded the man above the ground and intercepted the fireball Obito conjured with a crushing aetherial hand.

The man widened his eyes in fear and said fearfully, "You- You're the Facelessness?!"

Kanjokozui nodded and restated his question in which the man snickered and tried to spit on them but the spit was flicked back by Kanjokozui and the man began to choke.

Kanjokozui said once more, "What… Are… You…?"

"I- I- I'm… a… boundless soul! The death of the Shinigami has lead for us to escape, our bloodlust is unquenchable! With the souls of the damned and those waiting at the Gate of the Pure Lands have been inadvertently teleported back to this world and other non-human entities have escaped, in other words the Apocalypse is upon us-"

The man suddenly exploded into a black substance outwards of which Kanjokozui made an aetherial hand seal and said, "Positive Negative: Entropy Cube!"

Upon those words every droplet of the black substance was caged in a vacuum cube, in a quantum level the black substance was shrinking, creating implosions ironically outside the molecule of the black substance. From the human eye of Naruto's, the black substance within the vacuum cube was emitting an eclipse-like pulse glow until the vacuum cubes disappeared via collapsing in on itself along with the black substance it was quarantining.

Kanjokozui sighed and said, "The black substance is corrosive, do… not… touch it or let it touch you or else your body, mind, and soul will permanently die, bodiless souls are beings that are souls unbounded by human bodies nor were never human or anything defined as natural, creating their own physical bodies to interact with the world, Blood of Stagnation as it is also known as."

The red haired man clutched his daughter protectively and said, "Why are you here in my homeland?"

"You mean, OUR homeland?" Naruto said.

The man looked confused and said with suspicion, "You don't look like an Uzumaki, which of your parents were Uzumaki and tell me who."

Naruto said, "Kushina UzumakI!"

The man suddenly was gobsmacked with eyes wide as saucers until he teared up and yelled, "You're sis' son?!"

Naruto widened his eyes in turn and also said, "YOU'RE MY MOM'S BROTHER?!"

The man hugged Naruto who reciprocated and said, "I am actually her cousin, in our family we call our cousins brothers or sisters no matter if they are nuclear family or not."

Naruto nodded with a smile and looked at the young girl about the age of five and said, "What's your name?"

Approaching the girl slowly so as not to spook her.

"K-Kaminari Uzumaki…" She said slowly with hesitancy, looking at her smiling father for guidance but receiving none.

"That's a great name! I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" He said cheerfully whilst pointing to himself with his thumbs.

Kaminari's eyes widened and looked at Naruto's hair, saying, "Hm… You don't have red hair! Dad says every Uzumaki has red hair!""

Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Why'd you tell her that… uh-" Naruto paused to think of his name and the man looked embarrassed, saying, "Ronin Uzumaki, I apologise for not saying my name."

A.N.

I apologize for the long wait, I've been busy with life, I will try to continue with the story a bit more consistently. :)
