Tenshi no Chakra
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; however I do own Akemi, Yukiko, Zero, Rukia and Sayuri. And the Shīringu is mine and mine alone!
Summary: "When I died and came into the Naruto universe, I didn't think that I would be able to change much. I also thought that if I told anyone that they wouldn't believe me and I definitely didn't think that I could get a Kekkei Genkai either. But I was wrong on all accounts and I could not be happier." SEQUEL!
Hey guys, I'm going to take this opportunity of answer a Guest who asked me something in a review. I will be doing the post was Naruto Shippuden episodes, but with MY spin on them. Naruto and Hinata's wedding is definitely happening, but other things are definitely going to change, but you'll just have to wait and see!
Also to AngelSayori, yes I will be dipping into the Baruto series, but that will most likely be the in the last ever chapter of The Retelling of Naruto. Things will definitely be different in my version, like Sarada never existing because Sasuke and Sakura don't get together. I will also more than likely do the Baruto movie too, so you'd see more in that to.
Anyway, enjoy the story!
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Tsunade was looking at her grandfather in shock. He looked exactly how she remembered him and in all the photographs she had of him. The only difference was the whites of his eyes were grey and there were a few cracks on his face, like every Re-animated ninja had.
Feeling herself relax, Tsunade grins. "Made it just in time, Ojii-san." She says, feeling relieved. Their mission had been accomplished.
Hashirama returns the grin, happy to his see granddaughter alive. He had received word from Inoichi who seemed quite panicked due to the fact he couldn't get hold of him. Inoichi had made it very clear that the Five Kage had went to hold off Madara until he could make it to Division Four. When Hashirama heard this, he quickly finished his battle and made his way over, hoping that he made it in time before Madara could severely harm them.
However, Madara decided to ruin the reunion. "Well, it looks like someone was smart enough to summon the only person who could defeat me." Madara comments dryly as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Hashirama looked to his old friend. "I would say it was nice to see you again, but I would be lying." Hashirama says, humour in his eyes.
Madara scoffs at him. "If I recall rightly, you killed me. Stabbed me in the back; how noble." He says, sarcasm laced heavily in his tone.
Hashirama's eyes hardened. "You know exactly why we fought."
Smirking, Madara says back. "Then why don't we fight once more, see if death had slowed us down at all."
"I will, in just a moment." Hashirama says before jumping over to the Five Kage. "Take some of my chakra." He says, looking to Tsunade.
Tsunade nods her head. She places her hand in Hashirama and absorbs some of his chakra, this is so she could heal the other Kage. Tsunade knew that they weren't on the same level as either Hashirama or Madara, but she could damn well heal the others.
Madara scoffs, looking like a child for a moment. But accepting Hashirama's decision to hold off the fight. There was no point fighting against Hashirama until he ready, if he did the Madara wouldn't get the match he had been itching for.
Once done, Hashirama takes his hand away and looks to Madara. "Ready, old friend?"
Madara's eyes immediately light up at the prospect of the fight. "Ready." He says, crouching down low.
In the time it took to blink, Hashirama and Madara charged at each other and met in the middle. Madara aimed a kick at Hashirama, but he easily blocked the attack with his arm. Hashirama grabbed onto the Uchiha's leg and swung him around, sending him flying to the ground with a hard crash.
Madara immediately jumps back up and charges at Hashirama once more, his fist aimed to punch Hashirama. Seeing the attack coming, Hashirama dodged the attack, only for Madara to use his leg and kick Hashirama. This attack landed, and sent the Senju into a nearby rock with such force that he was imbedded into the rock.
Hashirama got right back up, and charges. As he ran towards Madara, he threw three kunai, each one having an explosive tag on them. Madara sees this and dodges each one by jumping further away to evade the kunai. Hashirama appears behind Madara in a flash, making Madara look back at him in shock. Hashirama punches Madara and lands a powerful hit, sending Madara crashing into the ground.
Hashirama landed on the ground, perfectly composed.
Madara chuckles, getting up from the ground. "Looks like your Taijutsu hasn't been affected."
"I can't say the same for you though." Hashirama answers back, an amused expression on his face.
Madara scoffs, "Let's test your Ninjutsu, Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu!" Madara made the Tiger hand seal and spat out. Ten fireballs, all transforming into the shape of dragons launch themselves at Hashirama.
Hashirama quickly makes his own hand seals. "Suihou no Jutsu!" He spat a powerful beam of boiling water at the fireballs, aiming for each one.
Madara began trying to manoeuvre the fire balls, so to dodge the water, but wasn't met with success.
Having missed a Fire ball, Hashirama had to dodge quickly, jumping onto higher ground as the fireball exploded on contact with the earth below. Also not being lucky, Madara had to quickly dodge before he was hit by the water. As Madara dodged, the water destroyed the rock near it, obliterating it completely.
"Still the same as ever then." Madara comments with a blank expression. But if you looked closely into his eyes, you could see that Madara was having fun.
"Says you, still using the same Jutsu." Hashirama chuckles to himself.
Tsunade and the other Kage were looking at the battle with wide eyes. For every attack Madara gave, Hashirama would fight back with ease. They had all struggled against him massively, and Madara hadn't been going full power then.
Getting back to her task at hand, Tsunade began healing the other Kage.
"That's Hashirama Senju…" Ōnoki whispers lowly, looking at the battle in awe.
"He doesn't even look to be struggling." Gaara points out, marvelling at the strength of both Hashirama and Madara.
"Now that's a man." Mei says, looking at Hashirama with affection in her eyes.
Tsunade grins while she heals them. "Madara was the only person who came close to rivalling the First Hokage." No other Ninja came close, all fell at the knees of Hashirama; even Madara did. However, what Tsunade didn't realise was that there was a third person who rivalled Hashirama and Madara.
A looks to Tsunade. "Why did you never learn Wood Style? You're a Senju."
"It wasn't my calling." Tsunade answer back simply as she continued her healing. "I was already known as his granddaughter, I didn't want to be in his shadow." As Tsunade grew up, people had always expected her to be just like her grandfather and just as powerful. That had always made her a target amongst enemies, especially when she was young. She could remember when she was young – maybe around four years old – she had been kidnapped, but she was quickly saved by Hashirama.
A nods his head, accepting her answer.
Back with the Uchiha and Senju, Madara jumps back for a moment and smirks. "Let's see how you fair against this, this time." He says before summoning his Susano'o, and this time it was a complete Susano'o. Madara was going all out against Hashirama.
Hashirama looks at the Susano'o with a calm expression. He had noticed that he and Madara were fighting too closely to Tsunade and the other Kage; he needed to push Madara back. "Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan!" Instantly, a trees began to grow in front of Hashirama and started to grow, Hashirama pushed the Jutsu, sending the dense forest toward Madara and his complete Susano'o like a wave of water.
Madara saw the dense forest come at him, and began using the swords to destroy the forest, but it didn't seem to be working. More trees would just sprout up, taking the place of the tree Madara had just mowed down. Having no choice, Madara jumps back quite a distance.
But Hashirama wasn't done. "Mokuton Bunshin no Jutsu!" Five wood clone emerge from the ground, and then take the shape of Hashirama. The clones charge towards Madara, surrounding him.
Madara looks around, watching each one carefully. He was one of the two people who could tell the difference between a wood clone and Hashirama.
"Mokuton: Mokuryū no Jutsu!" Hashirama quickly makes the hand seals, and so do all five of Hashirama's clone. Six dragons made of wood attacked Madara, all aiming for him.
Madara acts quickly, using his swords, he manages to destroy four of them. Madara was one of the only ones who knew this, but to destroy the wooden dragons, you needed to cut the head, otherwise they just grow back.
However, Madara missed two of them. The two wooden dragons attacked, roaring as they tore Madara's complete Susano'o to pieces. Seeing that his shield had been penetrated, Madara jumped away and abandoned his Susano'o.
Landing on the ground, Madara quickly made some hand seals. "Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!" A great wall of fire burst from Madara's mouth, burning the two wooden dragons to ashes.
Madara stops the attack, a smirk on his face and excitement in his eyes. "It's been a while since I've had a match like this."
Hashirama returns the smirk with a smile of his own. "It has." He says, his voice calm.
However, the peaceful smirk on Madara's face turned vicious, which only unnerved Hashirama. "And it's about to get more interesting." Madara says and quickly makes some hand seals. Within a split second, a coffin emerges from the ground, and then the lid falls to the ground.
With wide eyes, Hashirama looks at the coffin in horror. "Madara…" He mumbles to himself. It was at that moment that Hashirama realised how far Madara had fallen and what lengths he would go so his plans would come to fruition.
In front of the two old friends stood the undead body of Sayuri Uchiha.
Sayuri was wearing the same thing she was when she died. It was a very similar outfit to Madara's, only more feminine. She still had the Uchiha symbol on her back, but she armour was a purple colour instead.
Madara's smirk only becomes more vicious. Ever since Sayuri had died, he had hunted her body down and kept track of it. Ever since learning about Hashirama's appearance on the battlefield, he had summoned Sayuri back from the dead and made all the preparations. He knew that this day would come and he fully intended to use Sayuri if Hashirama tried to stop him. Sayuri was Hashirama's only weakness, and he was going to exploit it for all that it was worth.
Banishing the coffin, Madara walks forward and sticks the kunai with the talisman in the back of Sayuri's head.
"Time to play, Sayuri. Attack Hashirama." Madara says, looking smug.
Hashirama tensed, but was ready for an attack.
The whites of Sayuri's eyes turn from black to grey, but her body still remained stiff and she didn't move. She didn't follow Madara's order.
Madara looks at Sayuri confused. "Why aren't you attacking?"
Without anyone noticing, Sayuri smirks.
Suddenly, Sayuri attacks. Fast as lightning, Sayuri turns her body around and kicks Madara in the face, sending him flying into a rock nearby.
"You always forgot that one fact about me, Onii-chan." Sayuri says, a smirk on her face. The whites of her eyes were grey, but different to both Hashirama and Madara. The grey was a little ashy grey that only made her dark eyes stand out.
Madara looks up from his position from being imbedded into the rock. Sayuri had always been known for her kicks, so powerful that they could shatter bone. When Madara was younger, he would pity the people Sayuri used to fight.
"What am I forgetting?" Madara asks, getting out of the rock.
Sayuri places her hands on her hips. "I cannot be controlled, through body or mind." In her youth, no Jutsu regrading control could tame her. It was her body's natural reaction to it, she repels it. But it was something Madara always forgot about her, even in death.
Madara curses lowly, he had forgotten that little fact. There had been a time, before Madara and Hashirama's last fight that Madara tried to control Sayuri as leverage, but it didn't work out. Sayuri had fought against Madara's control and had won against him.
Sayuri looks towards Hashirama, her eyes brown eyes softening. "It's been a while." Her voice was soft and low.
Hashirama returns her loving stare. "It has."
Madara mocked gagged, "How sickeningly sick."
Sayuri looks to Madara, her expression turning from light to dark in an instant. "You have a nerve bringing me back, Onii-chan." She says, a menacing expression on her face. The last time they saw each other, Madara had stabbed her in her heart.
Walking forward to stand by Sayuri, Hashirama speaks. "He has a nerve coming back at all."
Cracking her knuckles, Sayuri charges at Madara at a high speed. She appeared behind Madara and then behind him in a flash. Using her powerful legs, she kicked Madara in the back, sending him flying. She then appeared in front of him and kicked him in the stomach, sending him backwards. This time, Hashirama appears behind Madara and punches him in the face.
If Madara had been alive, he would have been in severe pain. Half his body had been destroyed in that attack alone, but he was slowly piecing himself back together. "What, can't a brother see his sister again?" He asks, sarcasm in his tone.
"Ones that don't use their own family can!" Sayuri shouts back at him, anger in her eyes,
Hashirama places a hand on her shoulder, calming her down. Sayuri relaxes and breathes deeply. "You betrayed me Madara, you don't have the right to summon me." She says, her expression void of any emotion.
However, Madara didn't react. He looked neither shameful nor smug of what he had done, and this only served to annoy Sayuri even more.
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" Sayuri quickly makes the hand seals. In an instant, a very powerful dragon which is shaped from a very huge quantity of water morphs in front of Sayuri. With a roar, the dragon attacked at a ferocious speed.
Hashirama quickly makes his own hand seals. "Mokuton: Mokuryū no Jutsu!" A dragon made of wood burst from the trees, and joined in with the attack against Madara.
Madara watches the attacks coming towards him in a calm matter. He dodges the attack flawlessly, but the dragons kept coming at him. It was at this moment that Madara realised his mistake in bringing back Sayuri. He had been lucky the first time, even he couldn't deny that, he wasn't so ignorant. Madara wanted to fight Hashirama on his own, not against Sayuri, he needed to get rid of Sayuri.
And maybe use her power to his advantage.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
We had all been travelling for a while. Shisui had always been a keen tracker back when he was alive and was leading the way to find Obito. While we were travel, I informed them all on what may lay ahead. It was possible for Obito to have the Six Paths, and I briefed them on their power and to be careful. It took some time, but Shisui soon found Obito's trail, and found that he was heading straight for us.
Within seconds, Obito came into sight. He was wearing a white mask with a purple tint that covers the entire upper half of his head. The mask's design resembles a combination of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, consisting of a ripple pattern with three tomoe around the centre, two of which act as the mask's eye-holes. Through the eye-holes, I could Obito had one Sharingan eye and the other Rinnegan. Obito is wearing a pair of black pants and gloves, with a white form-fitting shirt underneath. Over this he wears a purple, high-collared, long sleeve mantle that splits down the lower half and has the Uchiha crest on the back. Around his waist he wears a simple, light-purple obi and a belt. Strapped to his back is Madara's gunbai, now purple with black trimmings and black tomoe, connected to a black chain that runs up his right sleeve.
Behind Obito was six figures, and I immediately recognised them as the previous Jinchuuriki. Much like Obito, each one of them had a Sharingan eye and a Rinnegan eye. Looks like my suspicions were right after all.
Naruto saw him and charged – his Tailed Beast Mode now activated – with Obito following suit. They both met in the middle, crashing their foreheads into each other. The force of the crash sent both parties flying back, where Itachi and Sasuke caught Naruto.
"Naruto, don't act so rash." Itachi scolds lightly.
Naruto winces, "Damn, his head is so hard. I didn't even put a crack in the mask."
"It's been made especially for battle, that's why." I answer Naruto while staring down Obito. But I didn't doubt for a second that his mask could be cracked, and I knew Naruto would be the one to do it.
That's when the previous Jinchuuriki makes their move. Roshi – the Yonbi – quickly makes hand seals, "Yōton: Shakugaryūgan no Jutsu!" Roshi spat out multiple molten rocks at us, it came at us in all directions and made it hard to dodge.
"Mizu no Yaiba!" I summon my water sword and chop any molten fire rocks that came my way. However, since I was so close to them, I could feel the heat radiating from it and that made me wince.
Naruto tries to launch his own counter attack, along with Sasuke. Naruto was attacking with his Rasengan while Sasuke with his Chidori Blade.
But Yagura – the Sanbi – quickly makes a water mirror. "Suiton: Mizukagami no Jutsu!" Using his staff, he holds the mirror up.
"Avoid the mirror!" I yell out, blocking an attack Yugito – the Nibi.
Naruto and Sasuke take my advice, and avoid the mirror, making sure it never got them. They both tried to get around Obito, but was soon met with bubbles, floating around them.
Looking at the bubbles, Naruto and Sasuke both remember them. The bubbles both touch Sasuke Naruto, and immediately they both looked to be in a trance.
"Oi!" Shisui yells out when he notices they aren't moving.
"Utakata is communicating with them, they're fine." I reassure them, dodging yet another attack from Yugito.
Naruto and Sasuke quickly got out of their trance and jumped away before the bubbles could explode.
"Suiton: Hōmatsu no Jutsu!" With a snap of Utakata's fingers – the Rokubi – all the bubbles around Naruto and Sasuke exploded.
However, Sasuke had summoned his Susano'o at that moment. He had dragged Naruto into the protective barrier, and waited for the explosion to be over.
While I was fighting, I noticed white dust appearing around me. Looking up, I see Fuu – the Nanabi – with her mouth open and that's where the white dust seemed to be coming from.
"Hiden: Rinpungakure no Jutsu!" With a clap of her hands, the area around me turned bright – too bloody bright to see anything.
I close my eyes quickly before I could become blinded. I felt Yugito charge at me once more, but I felt an arm wrap around my wait and pull me away. That's when I notice that the light didn't seem as bright as it was before, even with my eyes closed.
"You can open your eyes." I hear Itachi say.
Opening my eyes, I see that I was inside Itachi's Susano'o. His Susano'o could protect our eyes. It was different to Sasuke's, Itachi's was red and Sasuke's was purple. I look around and see that Shisui had also activated his own Susano'o, which was a green colour. Naruto was protected in his Tailed Beast Mode, and Sasuke was protected in his own Susano'o.
Roshi and Yugito tried to attack Itachi's Susano'o, but couldn't get through.
Soon the light faded until it was gone completely.
I took this opportunity to observe them. Each had a Sharingan eye, which would improve their abilities, and the Rinnegan eye allowed them to all be in touch with one another. They could see each other from that one eye, and know when to evade opponent's attacks. But I knew that they had black receivers in them, just like Pain had in his. All we had to do was find them and remove them. With those two ocular powers, it meant that their powers were increased, even their Beast powers, which made them deadly foes.
"Guys, they're just like Pain's Paths!" I yell out, hoping that they would all get the message about the black receivers in their bodies. The only person who didn't know was Shisui, but I knew that Itachi would update him.
They all seemed to get the message loud and clear.
Obito chuckles lightly, "Yelling your plans out to the enemy isn't the best idea, Akemi." He says, looking directly at me.
"That doesn't matter, Obito." I say, putting emphasis on his real name.
"Why did you claim to be Madara?" Naruto asks.
Obito shakes his head. "It doesn't matter now what name you refer to me as. All I want is the success of the Project Tsuki no Me, that's all. Existing in this world that knows only despair has no value. You Jinchuuriki had the Tailed Beast forced inside you, and you've only experienced despair. Am I wrong? Surely you can understand a little of my despair."
An annoyed look flashes in Naruto's eyes. "Who the hell are you yo decide that having a Tailed Beast in me makes me unhappy?!" Naruto yells out.
I look to Naruto, a proud expression on my face.
Naruto points to Obito. "Even if this world is worthless to you, you really think you can get away with starting a war. You piss me off, and I'm going to rip that makes from your face!" He yells out, clenching his fists.
Sasuke smirks in his Susano'o, "Not before I get him first."
Sasuke and Naruto look at each other, now there was a challenge between the two of who would destroy Obito's mask first.
Obito touches the mask on his face. "Taking this mask off won't be easy." As he said this, all the Jinchuuriki started to grow a tail of their representative beast.
Both Naruto and Sasuke's eyes lit up at the challenge. "We'll see about that." Sasuke comments, crouching low and ready to attack.
"Kyūbi, you shall be mine and I'll achieve Project Tsuki no Me!" Obito exclaims, clenching his fists. His goal was in sight and he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by.
Itachi was the one who spoke. "We're not just going to sit here and let you capture him." Itachi says, his Sharingan activated and ready to fight.
Fuu was the first one to attack, her tails acting like wings allowing her to fly. Shisui tried to get her down by sending kunai her way, but she dodged every single one of them, even the ones from behind.
Roshi attacked next, his whole body turning into lava. He attacked, but Naruto managed to dodge at the last second, this time without getting burnt.
Yugito then attacked me with her Mouse Fireballs. It started out with one and then separated into hundreds. I dodged each one, but Yugito followed me. As she chased me, I noticed that her nails and toe nails had extended, turning them into deadly blades. I take out my Sais, and ready myself for the attack I know was coming. With her quick speed, she flashed beside me and strike. I held my arm out and blocked the attack, causing four long claw marks to cut deep onto my arm. With my other hand, I slash my Sais, and end up hitting her in the chest, shredding her top. I wince and jump into the tree bushes, shielding myself away from view.
Taking this opportunity, I observe Yugito from my position. She and the other Paths were looking for me while they were fighting the others. I look at Yugito's chest and see the chakra receiver, just like it was in the anime.
While being hidden, I take this time to heal my scratches. They weren't too deep, but it was bleeding badly. I couldn't have myself bleeding all over the battlefield.
I see Naruto charge at Roshi – who was still covered in lava. Naruto and Roshi met in the middle, Naruto catching Roshi's fist, even though it was burning him. Naruto used his Rasengan, his chakra moulding into another fist and attack Roshi in the chest, finding the chakra receiver. Naruto pushes the Rasengan harder, nearly making it crack.
Han – The Gobi – appears out of nowhere and goes to attack Naruto, only to be met with Sasuke's sword. Fuu tries to attack Sasuke from behind, but Itachi quickly blocks her attacks.
I see Yugito run to join the fight, but I quickly makes some hand seals. "Suikusari no Jutsu!" Water chain appears underneath Yugito's feet and immediately wrap around her, binding her completely. Her legs and arms were bound. Jumping out from the tree, I stand in front of her. I also make a few clones to help ward off the other Paths while I dealt with Yugito.
I had a theory, and I decided to test out. I activated my Tenshi no Chakra, letting its cool green cloak of chakra cover me like a long coat that reached the ground and covered half my face like a mask would.
Seeing the chakra receiver in plain sight, I reach to grab, also looking at her hands. I was right too, as I got close to taking out the receiver, she transforms into her Tailed Beast. She looked exactly how Naruto did when he stared the process. All her skin disappeared and she crouched down onto all fours. Her facial features changes to become more catlike to match her Tailed Beast – Matatabi.
Grabbing a talisman from my pouch, I immediately reach and place one on her forehead. The moment it touched her forehead, my vision went dark.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Summoning his Susano'o, Madara fought off the attacks with ease. The fight with both Sayuri and Hashirama was making his blood pump, he was enjoying this fight more than anything. It wasn't every day that he got to fight two of the most powerful Ninja. Before they all died, Hashirama, Madara and Sayuri were a team. They were a force to be reckoned with, the enemies knew to run if they ever saw them three on the battlefield. Though after Sayuri's death, he had made sure to erase her existence from the books.
Sayuri launches another attack. "Suiton: Suigadan!" The water around Madara rises and then the water began a spinning motion to highly pressured water. As quick as lightning, the water drills attacked Madara's Susano'o.
Madara tried to dodge the attack, but found himself surrounded. He took this moment to marvel at his sister's power. When she was younger, Sayuri had this odd interest in water, which was unusual in the Uchiha Clan because their main element was fire. But it wasn't with Sayuri, she was learning Water Jutsu, much to the disappointment of their parents.
The attack struck Madara, his Susano'o taking all the damage, but Madara was safe. "Still the same as ever, Imouto." Madara comments, looking as confident as ever, even with half his Susano'o destroyed.
"Still hiding behind your Susano'o, Onii-chan?" Sayuri answers back, a scathing and mocking tone in her voice.
"Then why don't you use yours?" Madara questions, itching to fight Sayuri with her Susano'o.
Arching an eyebrow, Sayuri's eyes immediately change from brown to red; she had activated her Sharingan. Her eyes were a different kind of Sharingan though, whereas normal Uchiha eyes were blood red, Sayuri's were more of a purplish red. Sayuri had always been an oddity even when they were young.
An orange light surrounded Sayuri, just like a blue light had surrounded Madara. In an instant, a Complete Susano'o stood in front of Madara, with Sayuri in the middle of it. The Susano'o looked identical to Madara's, only the colour and the Susano'o weapon was different and that it was more feminine. "Let's have it then." Sayuri says, her Susano'o lifting up two Sais.
Grinning, Madara charges at Sayuri with his own Susano'o.
Not one to be left out, Hashirama makes the tiger hand seal and enters Sage Mode. Black markings appear on his face, around and under his eyes as well in the middle of his forehead. Once done, he makes more hand seals. "Senpō Mokuton: Shin Sūsenju!" An absolutely gigantic statue of a praying Senju Kannon armed with several rows of gigantic arms on its back. Hashirama jumps on top of the head, and it charged at Madara.
Madara saw this, and aimed one sword at Sayuri and the other at Hashirama. When close enough, Sayuri attacks, her Sais attacking Madara. Once Hashirama was close enough, the massive statue's thousand hands attacked, punching at Madara from all angles. Madara just grins wildly while pushing Sayuri and Hashirama back. His Susano'o was getting heavily damaged, Hashirama was demolishing his Susano'o, and Sayuri's Susano'o was breaking through his defences quickly.
The attack hit, and send Madara crashing into the ground roughly. Half of his body was gone, but was slowly regenerating back together. If he had been alive, that attack would have nearly killed him. The prospect of that excited him, this was a true death match between him, Hashirama and Sayuri. Now that the looming fate of death wasn't breathing down their necks, they could fight freely.
Madara stands up. "It's a good job you're here Imouto."
Sayuri looks at him, confusion in her Sharingan eyes. "Why?" She demands lightly, hesitation in her tone. She didn't trust Madara as far as she could throw him, and she could throw him FAR away. He had betrayed her trust one too many times.
Smirking, Madara answers her. "If you weren't here, I would have used Akemi."
Immediately, Sayuri bristled. Anger shinning in her eyes instead of curiosity, "Touch her and I will make you pay." Sayuri hisses out lowly.
Hashirama looks to her. "He's purposely trying to make you angry."
Huffing to herself, Sayuri answers. "I know. He's the only person who ever could." Sayuri had always been the picture of peace and serenity, but her brother always managed to get under her skin. He was the only person who could make her blood boil in anger. Sayuri was never a particularly violent person, which made her stand out for the wrong reasons as a child. But Madara could always undo it; it was a talent Madara would say.
"She'd make a better pawn than Yukiko anyway." Madara comments further.
"Leave the child alone!" Sayuri shouts back, feeling the white hot anger fill her very being. Sayuri had always been protective of others. But she felt something more for Akemi – who was just a girl trying to save her friends. Akemi reminded Sayuri of herself. The very thought of someone innocent being used by Madara made Sayuri's blood boil. Sayuri couldn't help Yukiko, but she would try her hardest with Akemi.
"Make me." Madara taunts.
Something inside Sayuri snaps, and her Tenshi no Chakra fully activated and ready for blood. Her Susano'o disappeared, and a yellow coat made of chakra appears over her, covering her completely. The hands had claws, and the coat covered her eyes like a mask. Sayuri charges at Madara, fully intending to harm him.
"Sayuri!" Hashirama yells out.
Ignoring him, Sayuri charges one, her left arm aiming to hit Madara.
But Madara was ready. He knew that Sayuri couldn't use the Susano'o and Tenshi no Chakra together, all he had to do was get her angry enough to use her other power. Madara could deal with her Tenshi no Chakra and he could finally put her power to use. Quickly making hand seals, Madara sends hundreds of Clones at Hashirama, all with Complete Susano'o.
Sayuri dodged all his clones, trying to reach Madara. What Sayuri didn't notice in her anger is that all his clones were avoiding her.
Once close enough, Sayuri swung her left fist only for Madara to catch the fist with his own hand. Sayuri tries to hit Madara with her other hand, only for him to catch that hand too. Sayuri tried to kick him, but Madara simply dodged her attacks with ease, all while still keeping her hands in place.
Madara's hands were burning, but be ignored it. Using her and his fingers, he made the hand seals. "Tenshi no Karitori Hito." He looked at Sayuri as he said this and watched her eyes widen in horror.
With her so close, Madara began absorbing the Tenshi no Chakra with a Jutsu he had invented. He had planned this day for so long. Madara hadn't been brought back when Zero first joined the Akatsuki, but Zetsu had informed him of everything when he was brought back by Yukiko, and to say Madara was suspicious was an understatement. Zetsu was able to torture some information out of the brat. It was then that Madara knew that he needed to find a different method of being brought back to life fully, since finding out that Obito could betray him. Zetsu had informed him of this when Yukiko had brought him back, and ever since then Madara had been thinking of other ways to bring himself back since he knew he couldn't rely on Obito. That's when he remembered his Imouto's Tenshi no Chakra. No one knew its limitations – not even Sayuri.
Madara could feel the power flow through him, though it did feel like his insides were being burnt, he dealt with the pain. Whereas Sayuri, she was feeling weak. She could feel her Tenshi no Chakra leave her body, and it felt like someone was pulling her intestines out from her body, slowly.
"Sayuri!" Hashirama yells, abandoning his large wooden statue to run towards the female Uchiha.
Hashirama catches Sayuri as she falls to the ground, Madara having let go of her.
Madara could feel the power swirling around him. He shouts out in pain and then there is a bright light emitted from his body, nearly blinding Hashirama and Sayuri. Once the light subsided, Madara stood tall and feeling smug.
Madara had been brought back to life – fully.
However, he didn't have eyes, his Re-animated eyes disintegrating instantly. He had died without them, having Obito place them in a young Nagato for Obito to obtain later.
"Madara, how could you?" Sayuri weakly says, her body feeling heavy. The feeling of betrayal came back, just like it had at the Valley of the End.
Smirking, Madara replies. "It was easy."
Rage flashes in Hashirama's eyes. "I'll kill you." He mumbles lowly, staring at Madara intently.
Madara didn't need eyes to see that Hashirama was angry. This had been his exact reaction when they fought at the Valley of the End. This is what he wanted, an angry Hashirama because unlike Sayuri, Hashirama got more powerful when angry and more of a challenge.
"Let's make the battle more interesting then." Madara says, summoning a scroll to his hand. He opens the scroll and takes out the one Rinnegan eye before inserting it into his left right eye socket. After learning about Obito, Madara had made extra precautions and didn't give Obito both Rinnegan eyes, just in case he indeed had a change of heart.
Opening his eye, Madara revealed his new Rinnegan eye.
It was in that moment that Sayuri shot up. While Hashirama had been holding onto Sayuri, he had been healing her. Madara had drained her of nearly all her chakra and it wasn't coming back quick enough, and even though she couldn't die, it had left Sayuri weak.
Sayuri attacked Madara with great speed that Madara didn't see it coming until it was too late.
Throwing back her left hand, she thrust it forward, aiming for Madara right eye. Activating her chakra scalpels, Sayuri ripped his right eye to pieces and then left four angry deep scratch marks on Madara's face.
Madara screams in pain, falling to his knees as blood poured from his now useless eye. Sayuri had torn his eyes to shreds and he couldn't open his eye now.
Sayuri jumps back to stand by Hashirama, ready to fight against Madara once again.
"Madara, what have you done?" Hashirama questions when he saw the Rinnegan eye.
Madara looks up, blood still pouring from his useless eye. "Your DNA helped create it!" Madara laughs, an insane and blood curdling laugh the duo had ever heard.
"You're insane." Sayuri mutters lowly. When she had seen the eye, something in her head told her to destroy them. She didn't know if it was her instinct or Nora telling her to. But she had followed it without hesitation
"No, it just means I'll do anything necessary to get what I want." Madara replies back still looking as smug as ever, even with a bleeding eye.
Soon, Madara removed his hand from his eye, "Hashirama, it's time for us to fight once more." Madara says.
Hashirama nods his head, also ready for a fight. He knew that Madara was capable fighting, even without the use of his eyes.
Sayuri also looked ready, wanting to repay the favour of him taking her life.
Just as Madara was about to fight, he stops. A White Zetsu sprouts from the ground, "Madara-sama, its time."
A looks of irritation flashes on Madara's face. He wanted to continue to fight with Hashirama and Sayuri, but he knew for his plans to continue he needed to leave now. He had told the Zetsu not to disturb him if he was fighting with Hashirama. Sighing in aggravation, Madara looks back to them. "We'll have to continue this another time it seems."
Just as Hashirama was about to attack Madara to stop him getting away, Madara disappeared into the ground with the White Zetsu.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Opening my eyes, all I see is darkness. I couldn't help but feel confused, I had just been fighting Yugito and as I placed a talisman on her, I blacked out. Looking around I notice some light not too far away and I decide to walk towards it. Once I walked into the light, I notice a cage that was very similar to Kurama's.
I hear a growl and look around, but I don't see anything. That's when I looked into the darkness of the cage and see Matatabi. Matatabi is two-tailed, like a bakeneko, and is completely engulfed in flames, its flames are cobalt blue and black. It also has a right yellow eye and a left green eye and neither of them had pupils.
Seeing its yellow and green eyes look at me, I felt myself still and my eyes widen. "No way…" I whispers as I stare at Matatabi in shock. Matatabi had always been my favourite of the Tailed Beasts, mainly because she was seemed most like a cat.
"Welcome, little one." Matatabi purrs, looking at me.
"W-what am I doing here? How did I get here?" I ask, confusion in my tone. I wasn't afraid or nervous like I had been with Kurama, she was the most polite and respectful to others out of all the Tailed Beasts. I also knew that she would be the least likely yo attack me. But that doesn't mean it wasn't slightly intimidating to be here.
Matatabi looks at me, she began pacing around her cage like a cat would. "Hasn't Kurama told you? Typical." She purrs lowly, amusement in her tone.
This just made me even more confused.
"I suppose I'll have to explain." Matatabi says, her voice soothing and calm. She then looks me directly in the eye. "You possess the Tenshi no Chakra."
I freeze under her gaze, but say nothing, waiting for her to continue.
"People who have the Tenshi no Chakra are connected to the Tailed Beasts. Your power was made to tame us and keep us in line. But then a certain someone came along and made it her mission to befriend all of us. She was brave, I'll give her that." Matatabi explains as she settled down on the ground, curling up like a cat.
Wondering who it was, I ask. "Who was she?"
Matatabi chuckles lowly. "She went by two names, but she is most known my Sayuri Uchiha."
I nod my head slowly. That would make sense, Sayuri was the only other person I knew that has the Tenshi no Chakra.
"Your Tenshi no Chakra keeps us in line due to the connection that we share. We can feel when you use your power. And when you're distressed, we can feel it and it sends termers down our spines." Matatabi explains with a purr in her tone.
My eyes widen when I realise what she was saying, "Wait, does that mean I'm hurting Naruto when I used it?"
Matatabi shakes her head, "Not all the time, only when it turns yellow."
I look up at her. "How do you know this?" I ask, suspicion in my tone. I was baffled on how she knew so much she seemed to know.
Matatabi grins, showing her sharp teeth. "I happened to be very close with Sayuri."
I nod my head slowly, taking this information in. It would make sense. Kurama knew things about me, mainly because of my interactions with Naruto. That could have been the same for Matatabi and her Jinchuuriki.
"But why am I here?" I ask her.
Purring, Matatabi answers me. "I want to know more about this Naruto person. But Son seems to have his attention." She ends this on with a hiss in her tone, as is she was annoyed that Son was getting in the way.
Immediately, I knew who she was talking about: Son Goku, the Four Tailed Beast. In the anime he gets in contact with Naruto. It looked like Son wasn't the only tailed Beast that wanted to talk with Naruto.
"Naruto doesn't hate being a Jinchuuriki. Surprisingly, he and Kurama get along now." I say with a grin as I remembered how Kurama and Naruto used to bicker with each other. Naruto had told me this one day when Kurama was being particularly petty.
Matatabi seem to scoff at that. "Kurama getting along with the boy? Impossible."
I shake my head. "I understand where you're coming from, I do. I know exactly what Kurama is like, but Naruto is different from all the other people who have been his Jinchuuriki. Never once has Naruto fell into despair, he has always fought past that." Naruto is one of my most precious people. He is like a brother to me, one that I will always protect.
"What does he want?" Matatabi questions. She didn't look as disbelieving as before, which made me believe that I was getting through to her.
When I smiled, this caught Matatabi off guard. "He wants to help you guys. He wants to stop the Jūbi from being revived and get you guys free." I answer, being completely honest with her.
Matatabi was silent and she just stared at me.
"You trust him?" She questions.
I nod my head, "With my life." I answer back.
Slowly, Matatabi grins – looking very cat like, "Then I too will trust him. People with the Tenshi no Chakra are able to detect people with ill will. Remember that well child, always trust your instincts." Matatabi purrs softly.
"Do you know what the Tenshi no Chakra can do?" I ask her, hoping she could give me more information. I had tried to get back in contact with Sayuri, but I never got through. Having this power confused me, I didn't even know its full potential.
Matatabi looks at me. "It is very powerful it can unlock many things. With it, Sayuri was able to unlock Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
My eyes widen.
"You're needed on the battlefield child, it seems I've kept you here longer than planned." Matatabi comments, her twin tails swirling around.
It was then that I felt my head become fuzzy and my vision went black.
When I open my eyes again, I see that I'm back on the battlefield, with Yugito still tied up with the water chains, but she was calm and wasn't fighting back like she was before. She was also no longer in her Beast Mode. I take this opportunity of calmness and remove the chakra receiver from her chest. I see a blue cloud come out of her body and fly away. I knew that it was Matatabi going back to the Gedo Statue, where Obito had sealed her away.
I look around and see that Kakashi, Guy and Killer B had even joined in with the battle. B had also transformed into Gyūki. Naruto and Sasuke were taking on the Utakata, Gai and Kakashi was taking on Han, Itachi and Shisui was taking on Fuu, and Killer B was taking on Yagura.
I was about to jump off to help Killer B – since everyone else was paired up – but I was stopped when I felt Obito appear behind me.
Turning around, I immediately grab my Sais and also taking notice that my Tenshi no Chakra was no longer activated.
However, Obito didn't do anything, he just stared at me.
"You never told them," Obito says, his posture and tone of voice revealing nothing about how he truly felt. He was always the hardest person to read – even harder to read than Itachi.
I knew what he was referring to, even though he never mentioned what it was. He was referring to the fact he had helped me after my fight with Yukiko. It was a sting on my pride that someone had to help me – let alone my enemy.
"No, I haven't." I tell him.
"Why?" He immediately fires back at me.
"I could ask you the same, why did you help me?" I fire back at him straight away.
Obito says nothing and neither do I. We both just stand there and look at one another, neither one of us giving in.
In the end, I was the one who caved first. "You said it was so I'd owe you a favour." I say, still looking at him with a suspicious look.
"I did." Obito says.
"And yet you asked me to seal away Rin." I say.
Obito nods his head.
"You could have asked for anything." I say, leaving the rest unsaid. If Rin hadn't have been summoned by Yukiko, would Obito have saved me still, of would he have helped me and asked for something else in return. I could see clear as day that Obito didn't like Yukiko, and summoning Rin must have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Obito ignores what I said. "Why haven't you told them?"
"They would believe you had alternative motives." I eventually say. I wouldn't blame them either, if it hadn't happened to me and saw how Obito behaved with me, I wouldn't have believe that to. That's why I didn't tell anyone. Plus I hadn't really had the time, minutes after I arrived back Madara's appearance had been announced.
Tilting his head to the side, Obito asks. "And you don't?"
I shake my head, "No, my gut is telling me no." When I first saw him, I had a bad feeling. But as he began to help me, that disappeared. He had my life in his hands, and he chose not to take it away.
"Your gut is are wrong then." Obito says back.
"You didn't let me die." I say, letting the statement hang in the air.
Obito ignores this and chooses to look around. "You've saved quite a few people."
This time, I was the one who said nothing.
"Haku, Itachi and Jiraiya, you saved their lives. You've even altered Sasuke's path." Obito says slowly.
Again I say nothing. I had no doubt in my mind that Zero was the one who told him all this. There is no way he would have known who was meant to die in the anime. Only Zero and I knew that information.
"Why did you save them?" Obito asks, but it sounded more like a demand this time.
"They deserved another chance." I mumble softly. All the people that were saved deserved another chance, their own lives being cut off without just cause. The only regrets I had were Kimimaro and Asuma – the only two people I couldn't save.
Obito stills and says nothing.
"You know Madara is only using you." I say, moving the conversation on to something else.
Obito says nothing.
I decide to try again, and began to speak, "You know he's-"
"You think I don't know that." Obito answers, his voice harsh and low like a hiss.
I stop speaking and just look at him. Obito knew that Madara was using him, and yet he was still on his side, ready to participate in his plan even though he knew this.
I was about to speak, but I stop when Obito jump back and away from me. I look back to my teammates and see that all of them are done with each Jinchuuriki. All of them laid on the ground, with one chakra receiver laying on the ground next to them. Obito stood in front of us all and quickly made some hand seals. Once done, the earth began to shake as something emerged from the ground. Rocks flew everywhere, and I had to dodge a lot of rocks and trees to make it back to Naruto and Sasuke.
That's when I take notice to what was emerging from the ground. My eyes widen in horror. "It's the Gedo Statue." I say, my voice lower than normal due to my shock.
The Demonic Statue is a giant, earthen-coloured humanoid entity with a decayed appearance, a body shaped into a robe, and a number of spike-like protrusions on its back. It has nine eyes, one of which gains a light blue iris and pupil each time a tailed beast is sealed inside it, though the eyes remain closed when it is summoned into battle. The statue originally wore a blindfold which completely covered its eyes. The statue's wrists and ankles are usually bound by shackles and it bites down on a scroll, which is held in place by two ropes extending from beneath its blindfold on either side of its head.
"Watch closely and feel it through your skin, the return of the Ten Tails! And the beginning of the end!" Obito exclaims as the earth around him broke away from him.
The Ten Tails began to shriek, all its eyes open as it holds its head. It moves around, destroying the land around it and sending chunks of the earth into the sky, and making them fall down as though it was raining.
I stare at it in shock, but how could he do it? The Statue was actually alive, and that would mean that it had obtained some of B and Naruto's Beast's chakra. I could understand with B, he had left a clone behind as he made his escape from Sasuke – who was under the control of Zero at the time. But that doesn't excuse the fact Obito got Kurama's chakra. I had hid the sacred items that contained some of Kurama's chakra for good measure.
"How did you get Naruto's chakra?!" I yell out in confusion.
I couldn't see Obito's face, but I know for a fact he was smirking. "Through a clone." He answers simply.
Looking to Naruto, I could see the irritation on my face. "This is what you get for summoning so many Shadow Clones at a time!" I exclaim at him, not fully meaning it.
Naruto grins sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck.
"But it hasn't got the Kyūbi or Hachibi, so it shouldn't be as bad." Sasuke says, looking to me.
I nod my head, "Yes, it's not at full power, but it's still powerful enough." I look at the monstrous statue, it was still shrieking and holding its head.
That's when I notice the change in Naruto, his eyes were red and the whiskers on his face were wilder than before. "Listen up, everyone!" Naruto exclaims, his voice rougher and his teeth much sharper too.
Sasuke looks at Naruto, worry on his face.
"Naruto had switched places with the Kyūbi, pow! They're tight now." Killer B explains before anyone could panic.
Sasuke looks to me, and I nod my head. "He'll explain everything." I say, reassuring him.
"If even just a portion of the Tails Beast is sufficient then the statue already has a piece of the Hachibi and my chakra inside it." Naruto/Kurama explains.
Kakashi looks to the Jūbi, worry in his eyes.
"That man claims to have stolen the chakra from the clones of Naruto and B. But given that they're just fragments of Hachibi and my chakra, who knows what form or shape the revived Jūbi will take." Naruto/Kurama explains, looking annoyed that Obito had managed to obtain some of his chakra.
Kakashi tightens the fingerless gloves on his hands. "Then we must act before theJūbi fully comes back to life." Kakashi says, determination on his face.
I look at the Jūbi, trying to think of ways to stop it. It wasn't going to be easy though, and it's unlikely that Obito was going to let us anywhere near it.
"Kakashi, you speak you're mind way too easily." Obito comments. "You're a man for whom a life full of regrets is fitting!"
Kakashi clenches his fists, hearing that from Obito was hurtful, but he soon brushed that aside.
"Just who the hell are you anyway?" Gai asks, not really knowing that it was their old friend Obito Uchiha underneath the mask.
Obito brushes the comment aside. "What's the point in telling someone who can't remember faces?"
Naruto/Kurama steps forward with his arms crossed over his chest. "Kakashi, like you said, if we're going to make a move, now's the chance before the Jūbi is revived fully. Old Man Six Paths used to say that the Ten Tails' full revival would signify the end of the world."
"It has many names. It's said to drink oceans, split open the earth and hoisted up mountains. He is known as the beginning of chakra and a creator-god of many nations. He is the progenitor who is said to have created this very land." I say, speaking up about my knowledge of the Ten Tails.
Naruto/Kurama looks at me and grins, flashing its sharp teeth at me. "To simply put it, he has the total power of all Nine Tailed Beasts. Honestly, I couldn't take him on by myself and hope to win. But if he only has a piece of Eight Tails and me who has the most chakra of the nine, it may be worth a try. "
Obito interrupts. "You're all mistaken. For me, the revival of the Jūbidoesn't need to be complete. My end goal is the Super Genjutsu: The Infinite Tsukuyomi! One perfect world without war or ill feelings. Only within a single collective consciousness where the individual has been cast aside, can truth be found! The world no longer needs hope, a future or famous heroes. Even if incomplete, once the Jūbiis revived, the Infinite Tsukuyomi Jutsu can be achieved. Then reality will come to an end and all that will exist will be a single unending dream that will last for all eternity."
Naruto changes again, and takes back control. His eyes are now blue again and his whiskers were back to normal. "I had my Otou-san and my Okaa-san, and I still have the Pervy Sage. Kids love looking up to their heroes. That's why I can keep running forward without hesitation. I will become the greatest Hokage of them all! That's my dream, you idiot!" Naruto yells at him, a large grin on his face.
Sasuke and I both look at each other, we were both proud of Naruto and we would help him achieve his dream.
Gai grins and nods his head. "Even if you don't want your youth to end, dreams must come to an end at some point!"
Kakashi nods his head, "Yeah, dreams must be fulfilled."
"And if your plan goes ahead, which will never happen. You'll be robbing people of their dreams." I say, cracking my knuckles as I got ready for a fight.
"Individuality makes you lose sight of the truth. My words as nobody are words guided by the truth of the world." Obito says in a grim tone.
Sasuke, Naruto and I look at one another. We were all getting sick of his spiel and we quite frankly didn't agree with him. Naruto transforms into Chakra Beast Mode and charged at Obito as fast as lightning with myself and Sasuke right behind him.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
There is a reason I've made it so Sayuri can't use her Tenshi no Chakra and her Susano'o at the same time and that's because she'd be too powerful. She would be massively more powerful than Madara and Hashirama and I wanted them to be on the same level. Hence why I've also given Akemi the Tenshi no Chakra, so she will be equal to Naruto and Sasuke.
Also, I will reiterate when I say this: I am not the best at fighting scenes but I do try my best.
Hope you guys liked the chapter!
