Infinite Tsukuyomi
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!
Guest: Akemi will eventually get the Byakugou seal, but it will be after the war. She didn't get much time to practice with Tsunade before the war, and if I had just given Tsunade's power to Akemi then I feel she would become more of a Marie Sue than people think. (I personally don't think Akemi is a Marie Sue, I've tried to make her realistic especially after the prequel) but she will get it eventually.
MoonlightWolf16: I'm sorry to say that I will not be making a third book about the next generation. I'm actually not a big fan of the Baruto series and I know I wouldn't enjoy writing it.
Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf: Nice try there! But you're vote will only be counted once, unfortunately.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
As we ran closer to where Madara was, I could see the change in his appearance.
Madara had now become the Jūbi's Jinchuuriki. He now has long white hair and pale skin. He now has a full-bodied black garment with black pants, gloves, and boots, over which he wore a flowing white robe with six black magatama markings across his chest. A grey horn-like protrusions grew out of his left temple and overlapped his forehead akin to a protector with an upward-curve on the right temple, giving him an overall appearance very similar to that of the Sage of the Six Paths. He also had the Truth Seeking Balls behind him along with a staff.
Sasuke, I and Naruto arrived on the scene, just moments before Madara's Truth Seeking Ball could finish Gai off. Gai was laying on the ground, unresponsive. His skin was dark and he had red lines that resembled fire running down his body. Steam also seemed to be emitting from those openings in his body. Seeing Gai's burnt and decaying body was alarming yet amazing. It was alarming knowing that he would start disintegrating, but amazing because I remembered the battle between him and Madara. In their battle, Gai had unlocked all eight of his chakra gates and matched Madara and nearly killed him.
Just as Madara's Truth Seeking Ball was about to kill Gai, Naruto flashed forward and kicked the ball away like a football.
Madara's eyes widen, his Truth Seeking ball was so easily deflected.
Naruto kneels down next to Gai, looking sad. "Bushier Brow sensei…" He mumbles lowly, looking at the extensive damage to Gai's body.
I and Sasuke land in front of Naruto, making sure that Madara didn't attempt an attack while his back was turned. It was something that I wouldn't put pass Madara at all.
Naruto places his right hand over Gai's heart, and it pulsed. A white circle appeared over Gai's chest and black markings stretched out from the white circle. With his new found power, Naruto had managed to stop Gai from dying.
Madara observes us. "You all seem different from before." He says in a thoughtful yet cautious tone. His Rinnegan eyes scanning each and every one of us.
"Yes, we have. Not that it is any of your business." Sasuke comments, folding his arms as he looks at Madara.
Naruto grins, "But let's just say you won't win." He says, a confident gleam in his now yellow eyes.
Madara stares impassively at us, but he takes notice to the fact Gai was still alive. Moments before, he sensed that the chakra gate near Gai's heart was closing and getting small – meaning instant death, but Gai was still alive and the narrowing of the gate had stopped.
Sasuke was the first one to make a move. He charge at Madara, his sword in hand. Madara used his staff and attempted to block the younger Uchiha's attack. Sasuke and Madara's attack met, their weapons clashing against one another. Having pumped his own chakra into his trusty sword, it didn't break on immediate contact with Madara's weapon.
While this was happening, I ran forward with my own jutsu in hand. "Tenshi no Kyū!" A white orb appears in my hand, getting bigger as I ran forward.
Naruto was also running forward, a jutsu forming in his hand. "Senpō: Yōton Rasenshuriken!" A large Rasengan formed with a ball of lava in the middle, which was only growing bigger as we ran forward.
Madara sees our attack and attempts to get away. While he was distracted, Sasuke had activated his Chidori Blade and stabbed his blade through Madara's shoulder, pinning him to the Divine Tree and unable to doge.
Sasuke jumped out of the way, not wanting to get caught up in our attack.
Using his Rinnegan, Madara attempts to use Limbo, where he is able to project shadows of himself into the invisible world known as 'Limbo'.
As I and Naruto got closer, I could see the two Shadow Madara's, but I and Naruto simply dodged them. I knew Naruto couldn't see them properly, but he could sense them. I knew that Sasuke could see the Shadows clearly because of his newly acquired Rinnegan. I could see the Shadows clearly too and I didn't need any my Shīringu to see them.
Mine and Naruto's attack hit Madara in the chest. Madara screams as the sheer force of the attack was so powerful. Mine and Naruto's attack seemed to merge on impact, the orb growing even bigger, with white and black markings forming in the lava. The attack was so effective that Madara was sent through the Divine Tree, and the attack cut through it, severing the tree from its roots.
I watched with a grin as the Divine Tree fell to the ground, no longer being supported.
Madara was sent flying into the ground, very heavily injured.
Looking at the tree and then Madara, I suddenly remembered what happened in the anime. "Don't let him absorb the tree!" I yell out, looking to Sasuke since he was closest to Madara.
Sasuke nods his head and goes to run after Madara.
But it was too late. Madara already seemed to have recovered and had now attached himself to the tree. I could see the tree clearly being sucked into Madara. Within seconds, the tree was gone, and all that was left was the stump and the roots. It had happened so quickly, there was no way we could have stopped it in time.
Seeing as there was nothing we could do, Naruto picks up the fallen Gai and runs back. I and Sasuke follow, both of us waiting for Madara to make his move. We run over to where Lee and Gaara are.
When Lee sees his teacher, he runs over. "Gai-sensei!"
"He's going to be fine." Naruto reassures him, smiling over to Lee. He carefully places Gai on the ground, so not to cause any more injury.
Lee looks confused, "But I thought he had activated all Eight Gates?" Lee says, looking at us in slight awe. Gai had always warned him about the gates, it was one of the only things Gai had ever been serious about.
I nod my head, "He had. But Naruto-kun was able to stop him from dying."
Tears began to leak from Lee's eyes. "Thank you, Naruto!" He gushes, bowing in thank. He was so grateful to see his sensei alive. When Gai had went into battle, he had thought he would never see him again.
Gaara walks over to Naruto and pats him on the shoulder. "Naruto, when you're Hokage, let's have a drink." He says, completely serious.
Naruto grins widely, "Sure."
I look to Sasuke, "I think we're all going to need a drink when this is all over." I say with a grin on my face.
Sasuke grins, but then his head snapped in the other direction. Seeing this, I too look. I knew that of something caught Sasuke's attention that quick then it wasn't going to be good. It was Madara, he was floating in the air, looking completely healed.
"Time to get a move on." Sasuke says, turning around to run over to Madara.
I and Naruto follow close behind him as we began to run.
As we got closer, I could feel the power surge from Madara. Now that he had absorbed the Divine Tree, Madara was more powerful. Looking to Naruto and Sasuke, I noticed that they seemed to have clicked on too.
Madara see us. "You cannot take me down. Essentially, I am completely immortal now. I have attained eternity!" Madara shouts out, a crazy grin on his face.
"Idiot!" Naruto yells back, tightening his Hitaiate on his forehead. "I'm not going to take you down, we are going to you down!" As he finished saying this, his Tailed Beast mode activated with his own Truth Seeking Balls behind him.
I also activated my Tenshi no Chakra, letting the green cloak form over me. I really did like having this transformation, it made it more dramatic.
"Your time has come, Madara." Sasuke announces, looking confident.
Madara grins, finding it amusing. "Let this be the final battle! Your power versus my power!"
Sasuke, Naruto and I got ready, each knowing that he was going to attack first.
"Senpō: Inton Raiha!" Madara makes his hand signs and purple lightning shoots out from his hands, aiming at us.
Naruto threw one of the Truth Seeking Balls into the lightning. It stopped the lightning from hitting him as all the attention went somewhere else. Sasuke used his Rinnegan and teleported away. I quickly made my wings and flew up into the air, avoiding the attack swiftly and effectively. Now airborne, I attempt to attack Madara. However, before I could even land a hit on him, I saw Madara's Shadow jump in front of me and block my physical attack. I narrow my eyes at it, remembering that physical attacks didn't work on the Shadow Madara.
Naruto also tried to attack Madara, but was met with a Shadow Madara like me.
"Senpō: Ranton Kōga!" A purple single beam appears out of Madara's mouth like a laser. Swinging his head, Madara brings the laser closer to us.
Seeing this, I grab Naruto by the scruff of his cloak and fly away before the laser could hit either of us.
"Sasuke! It's coming towards you! I can't see it though!" Naruto yells out as I drop him down on the ground as gently as possible.
Sasuke immediately spots it, "Oh yeah? I can see it clearly." Sasuke says, looking calm as he got ready or the attack.
Naruto looks up at me, "Can you see it Akemi-chan?"
I nod my head, "Yes, I can." Having a theory, I began to think. I died and went into Limbo – that's what Nora called it anyway. Limbo is a dimension between the world of the living and dead, and that's where the Shadow Madara presides. I believe that I have a connection to the Limbo dimension and that's why I'm able to see the Shadow Madara so easily. I didn't need my Tenshi no Chakra to see him or my Shīringu.
Madara frowns, not liking this fact we could see and sense Limbo. He also began to wonder where we all got our new power.
Now on the attack, Madara flies over to Sasuke with an evil glint in his eyes.
Seeing the attack, Sasuke uses his Rinnegan and teleports his sword in front of him. He had thrown his sword at a Shadow Madara, testing out how to hurt it. He had also found out that physical attacks do basically nothing. Madara didn't realise until it was too late, he had been impaled in the chest by Sasuke's sword.
"Revenge is a bitch." Sasuke mutters slowly, smirking at Madara. He was getting him back from when Madara stabbed Sasuke, only moments before.
However, Madara seemed unfazed.
Teleporting once more, Sasuke appears by mine and Naruto's side. "That's not enough to kill you, is it?" Sasuke asks, though he already knew the answer.
Madara glares at him and removes Sasuke's sword from his chest, throwing it to the ground. Slowly, Madara began to heal and soon there wasn't even a mark there.
"It seems as though your shadow returns to you after a certain amount of time." Sasuke says, watching at the Shadow Madara disappeared.
Madara floated above us, analysing us.
Sasuke looks to me and Naruto and nods his head.
Naruto holds out his right hand. "Senpō: Jiton Rasengan!" A Rasengan forms in Naruto hand, but had Shukaku's markings in the ball.
Sasuke holds out his left hand, "Chidori!" Black lightning forms in his hand, thousands of birds chirping came from his attack.
I held out both hands, letting them face one another. "Tenshi no Kurenjingu!" A massive ball made of white light forms in my hands, getting bigger. This time, there were black markings inside of the attack.
Naruto and Sasuke turn to face me, their attacks heading for me. I hold my own attack forward, letting their attack get closer to mine. Using his Rinnegan, Sasuke transported Madara over to us. Madara now stood in the middle of all of our attacks.
"Naruto! Akemi! You know the Jutsu, right?" Sasuke shouts over the sound of our attacks. It was mainly his attack though that was making the most noise.
"Yes!" I shout back, straining to hear him.
Naruto also nods his head. "Yeah!" He too was straining to hear over the roar of their combined attack.
However, Madara disappeared in a flash, leaving behind his Shadow Madara as a substitute. Sasuke and Naruto soon clicked onto this.
"Over there!" Naruto yells, pointing to Madara who was in the sky.
"Leave it to me." I say, jumping away from the formation. My chakra wings appear on my back once more. I had noticed that I didn't need to weave any hand signs after so many uses of this jutsu. It was like my chakra already knew what I was going to do.
Now equipped with wings, I burst into the sky and after Madara. I knew that Sasuke wouldn't be able to use his Rinnegan on Madara this far away. That's what Madara was trying to do, scout out what Sasuke's eyes could do.
I charge at Madara, and he uses his staff to block my attack.
"Such a shame Sayuri couldn't be here to see you fail." Madara hisses lowly at me, glaring at me with his Rinnegan eyes.
I smirk at him, "Funny, I was going to say exactly the same thing."
Madara glares at me and tries to push me back, but I wasn't going to allow that.
My Tenshi no Chakra flares up, and I could feel my chakra build up in my back. "Tenshi no Chichi Odori!" The white wings on my back spread out and stood for attention. Like lightning, white feathers burst from my wings, all hundred shooting at Madara. Due to how close I was to him, Madara couldn't dodge either.
Madara cries out in pain as my attack did some damage. The sheer force of my attack sent him flying to the ground, closer to Naruto and Sasuke. I fly back down and land near Sasuke. When I was on the ground, I see that Kakashi had now joined us.
"Where is Obito?" I ask our sensei, knowing that he would know where Obito was.
"In the Space-Time dimension, he said it would be safer." Kakashi says, looking to me while keeping his voice low so Madara couldn't hear.
I nod my head. Obito had been used by Madara due to the fact Black Zetsu was controlling him. There would also be no reason for Madara to go after Obito since he doesn't have the other Rinnegan, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Looking to Kakashi, I see that his Sharingan eye was still intact. In the anime, Madara had stolen it and then given it back to Obito when Madara got his other Rinnegan eyes. But this time round, he already had both eyes.
Madara stands up, looking heavily bruised. "Enough of this sideshow." With that, he jumps high into the air.
I went to jump after him, but Sasuke grabs my arm. I turn back to look at him, but Sasuke just shakes his head at me.
Now in the air, Madara formed a black lumpy orb in his land. After a few seconds, the orb broke into smaller black orbs. Now done, Madara brings his hands together and he says. "Chibaku Tensei!" The earth below him began to be pulled up from the ground forcibly. Rocks were gravitating to the black orbs until the rocks covered the orbs completely. Nearly thirty massive boulders now floated in the sky, just waiting to plummet down to the earth below.
Naruto immediately recognised the attack. "Pain used this too." Naruto mumbles softly, his thoughts going back to the invasion which seemed so long ago now.
"Stop getting distracted by what's above, his Shadows are still on the ground with us." Sasuke scolds, glaring intently at the four Madara Shadows in front of us.
Madara waves his hand, and the massive rocks fall to the ground
"His shadows are moving!" I shout out, watching as his shadows began to advance on us.
Naruto quickly makes hand seals. "Leave it to me!" Four Shadow Clones appear next to Naruto. The Shadow Clones charge and attack the four Shadow Madara.
Sasuke activated his Susano'o and charged into the air, aiming to destroy the massive boulders. Sasuke used his own wings to fly, and with his swords cut the boulders down to size. He cut them down into hundreds of piece so not to injure anyone down below.
Naruto opens his right hand. "Bijudama Rasengan-Shuriken!" A Rasengan shaped like a shuriken appears in Naruto's hand, with a purple Beast Ball in the middle. He threw his attack at the boulder and shattered the shoulder instantly.
My Tenshi no Chakra flares up and the wings appear on my back once more. Now being able to fly, I burst into the sky and flew towards the nearest boulder. "Tenshi no Honō!" A ball of white fire appears in my hand. As I got closer, I thrust the attack into the boulder, shattering it completely. Looking around, I dart for more boulders, also breaking and destroying them too. Every time each one of us destroyed a boulder, the rocks that had been forcefully pulled up from the ground fell back where it belonged.
Madara watched this all happen with a passive expression. Only when he was sure he wouldn't be disturbed, he turned his back. "When one who possess the power of the Rinnegan should draw near the moon, the eye that can reflect off the moon, and grant the infinite dream shall open." He mutters to himself lowly. He looks up at the red moon and breaks off his forehead protector by ripping it off. Closing his eyes, Madara concentrates. Within seconds, his third eye opens and it looks to the moon. Suddenly, the moon changes and now there were three black circles and black tomoe in the moon. It greatly resembled a Sharingan eye.
"Shine upon the world, Mugan Tsukuyomi." Madara says while opening his eyes, grinning largely. He could taste the victory.
Sasuke chose that moment to look up at the sky and notices the moon. "Damn it." He hisses lowly, turning back around to fly over to Naruto and Kakashi.
Naruto sent out an attack, destroying some of the other boulders in the sky. As he threw his attack, Sasuke manoeuvred around his attack and landed on the ground, letting his Complete Susano'o cover them completely.
"Sasuke, I could have hit you!" Naruto yells in an annoyed tone. It wasn't like Sasuke to be so reckless, that was his job.
"Shut up and stay still." Sasuke spits back, making sure his defence covered everyone completely. When he had seen the moon, he knew what that meant. He didn't know if this would work, but he had a hunch that it would. The Susano'o wasn't known as the ultimate defence for nothing.
"Wait! Akemi is still out there." Kakashi says, looking for his other student.
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widen and they too began looking around.
I had been too busy destroying the remaining boulders to notice what was happening. Using my Tenshi no Chakra I flew around the sky, destroying any bigger rocks so they didn't crush the people below by accident.
"Akemi-chan!"
Turning my head, I see Sasuke's Susano'o on the ground which sends alarm bells ringing in my head immediately. I recognised it from the anime, Sasuke had done that to protect Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura from the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Instantly, I look up and see the moon and my blood runs cold.
"Shit!" I yell out, my wings making quick work to fly over to where Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi were. I knew that if I didn't make it in time, I too would be caught up in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The only thing that made Naruto and Sasuke safe in the anime was because Sasuke had obtained the Rinnegan.
Within seconds, I was outside Sasuke's Susano'o when I saw Madara make the hand sign.
Feeling two hands grab my arm, I was pulled into the Susano'o. I land in there on my knees with Naruto and Sasuke kneeling beside me. I noticed that my Tenshi no Chakra had deactivated itself seeing as I didn't need it yet.
"Thank goodness." Kakashi sighs in relief.
"We were almost too late." Naruto exhale in relief, looking happy.
Sasuke stands up and glares at me, "Don't do that again."
I grin at them sheepishly.
A bright light covers the area, which was would have been blinding if we hadn't been in Sasuke's Susano'o. The light was so bright that it now looked to be morning instead of night time. Looking outwards, I could see trees covering the area. Each vine splitting off and wrapping each and every immobile person up. I frown, knowing what was going to happen to everyone. Their chakra will be taken away and everyone will be turned into White Zetsu, to become Kaguya's mindless soldiers. Clenching my fists, I think of Haku. He would have no doubt also been caught up in this. I wanted to run out and help him, but I knew the moment I stepped outside Sasuke's Susano'o, I would also get caught up in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Naruto seems to be thinking similarly to me, as he attempts to run out of the Susano'o. But Sasuke grabs his shoulder.
"Naruto, don't do it right now." Sasuke warns.
Naruto frowns, and looks outwards with a longing look. He wanted to badly to help everyone, but deep down he knew he could do that by beating Madara.
"Don't you think I want to save me Nii-san?" Sasuke asks in a lowered tone. He so badly wanted to help his brother, but he knew that he couldn't.
I nod my head agreeing with him. "If any of us fail, we all lose." I say, a frown appearing on my face. I didn't like it, but it was true.
Naruto also frowns, but stays put.
I look outwards, 'Please be okay, Onii-chan.'
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Opening his eyes, Haku could see that he is near a farm house. Just by looking around, Haku knew that he was still in Kirigakure, but he didn't know exactly where. Haku began walking around the farm house to the front door. He couldn't help but feel confused because of how familiar this scene was to him.
"Okaa-san!"
Haku turns his head and his eyes widen. In front of him was himself – but much younger. Haku watched his younger self hug his mother and then his father.
The carefree smile on the young boy's face made Haku's heart clench.
"Look what I can do, Otou-chan!" The younger Haku says, looking proud as he manipulated the water around him into ice.
Haku felt himself tense after seeing what his younger self did. The moment his father had found out he had a Kekkei Genkai, he had went ballistic. Haku's father had tried to kill him. Kekkei Genkais weren't well liked in this country, everyone hated them and if anyone was caught with one then they would be killed on the spot.
But to Haku's surprise, his father only smiled at his younger version. "Good job! Keep training and you'll be strong like me!" His father brought his arm up, as if to emphasis his muscles.
Haku's mother giggles behind her hand. "Just like I showed you Haku, you're doing brilliantly!" His mother chimed in, looking at her son with pride.
This only made Haku's heart ache more, this is what he had wanted. Haku had only wanted his father to accept him. Haku's mother had kept her family's Kekkei Genkai a secret because it had missed her. But it hadn't missed Haku – much to his mother's grief. After watching the scene for a few more seconds, Haku realised that this isn't what he wanted. He did at one point, but not anymore. He had left his home and had met Zabuza. Haku didn't like to admit it, but his past made him who he was today.
Once Haku had made this realisation, the scene changed in front of him. He closed his eyes and waited for the ground to stop moving. Opening his eyes, Haku could see that he was on the Great Naruto Bridge. Just as he remembered, it was very foggy and cold, but the cold didn't seem to bother him. His eyes scan around for a moment before they stop on four figures on the ground. On the ground was Naruto and Sasuke dead. They were all dead, blood pouring from their wounds and their eyes open. It appeared as though they had died fighting. Looking further afield, Haku could see Zabuza. He was standing over the dead forms of Kakashi and Sakura.
Zabuza turns around, flicking his sword to rid it of blood. "Time to move on, Haku." He says, his voice sounding as rough as he remembered it.
Without hesitating, Haku walked forward for a moment. He didn't question Zabuza's words. But then Haku stopped near Naruto's dead form and he looks at him.
"Go? Where?" Haku asks, looking away.
Zabuza looks at Haku, annoyance flicking in his eyes.
Seeing this, Haku immediately wanted to apologise. He never usually questioned Zabuza, just followed him wordlessly. But Haku stopped himself when he saw Akemi's dead body, laying not too far away from everyone else.
Seeing Akemi dead made his mind snap into place.
"No." Haku says, looking up to Zabuza.
He had expected Zabuza to be angry. However, Haku was surprised to see Zabuza smile underneath his mask of bandages.
Within seconds, the scene before him changed once more. It happened so fast that Haku didn't have time to process what happened. But he understood why the scene was changing. At one point in his life, he would have chosen to go back with Zabuza, he would have traded anything. But that wasn't the case anymore. He loved his live in Konoha and with his sister.
Looking around once more, Haku saw he was now in Konoha.
"Onii-chan!"
Turning his head, Haku sees Akemi running over to him with a big smile on her face. Behind her was Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi. Naruto was also grinning widely, while Sasuke and Itachi were grinning – though it was hard to detect.
Seeing Akemi smile, Haku retuned the smile.
This is where he belonged.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Itachi woke up and saw he was in his room – back in the Uchiha compound. For a moment, Itachi felt dazed and confused.
A knocking on the door soon brought him out of his daze.
"Itachi! Breakfast is ready!" Mikoto says, opening her son's door and smiling at him brightly.
Seeing his mother, Itachi stares blankly for a moment before nodding his head, "Okay, Okaa-san."
Mikoto nods her head, "And don't forget about your date with Izumi today." She says, closing the door behind her.
Itachi could hear her footsteps walk away, and he could hear her voice talking to someone else. Deciding to get up, Itachi gets ready for the day and joins his family with breakfast.
Itachi sits down at the table and sees Fugaku at the head, with a newspaper in hand. Itachi looked at the title and saw that Danzo had been sentenced to death – with several counts of child abduction and trying to disturb the peace within Konoha.
Fugaku spots his son and nods at him.
"Nii-san!"
Itachi turns his head and sees a younger Sasuke – around twelve, with a grin on his face. Seeing his younger brother so happy made Itachi smile softly.
"Nii-san, you're going to train with me, aren't you?" Sasuke asks, looking up to Itachi with a gleam in his eyes.
"And don't forget about me!" Says another voice.
Itachi looks up and see Shisui at the door – fully alive.
"How could we ever forget about you?" Mikoto says, appearing from the kitchen with food. She pinches Shisui's cheeks with a mischievous expression on her face.
"Ow! Auntie stop that!" Shisui exclaims.
Mikoto laughs and places the food down, making an extra place for Shisui.
Watching his family interact made Itachi's heart warm. His face revealed nothing, but he really did feel happy. He felt at peace, like this was where he was meant to be all along.
With that thought, he begins to eat the food his mother made.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
When Hinata opened her eyes, she saw she was sitting in the Ichiraku Ramen stand. Looking next to her, she saw that Naruto sat right beside her, munching on his ramen with a happy expression.
"Oh, hey Hinata-chan, Naruto-kun." Hinata hears a very familiar voice say from behind.
Turning her head, Hinata sees Akemi behind her. Sasuke right beside Akemi, a small smile on his face. They were holding hands and looking quite cosy.
Naruto grins, "On a date, teme?" He says, a suggestive look in his eyes.
Sasuke blushes slightly, but glares at Naruto. "What about you, dobe?" He says, looking to Hinata and then back to Naruto.
Hinata blushes deeply.
But Naruto only grins bigger, "Of course! We are dating after all!"
Hinata's eyes widen and the blush on her face only grows deeper. She and Naruto were dating! The very thought made her heart beat faster.
Akemi laughs, "How we could forget? You proclaimed your love for her in you Hokage speech."
Hearing this, Hinata looks to the Hokage monument and sees the construction for another face was being made. Some features could be seen, and they greatly resembled Naruto.
Just then, Hinata sees her father walk past. When he sees her, he smiles and nods his head at her. Hinata's eyes widen. It wasn't at the gesture, it was at the warmth in his eyes. Usually he looked at her with disappointment.
Hinata looked around and saw everyone happy with one another. Naruto was looking at her with the upmost affection in his blue eyes. Akemi and Sasuke also looked to be very affectionate with another and her father seemed to acknowledge her.
Hinata smiles, she felt like she belonged in this world.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Within a few minutes, the blinding white light had subsided and the world had once again been plunged into darkness. Sasuke waited a few more seconds, just in case before he got rid of his Susano'o that protected us. Looking around, I see everyone was attached to the Divine Tree. The silence was too eerie and it sent shivers down my spine. The only people still around was me, Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, Madara and Black Zetsu – who was standing in front of us. In the distance, I could see the Reanimated Hokage, Kushina, Mikoto and Shisui trying to get everyone free, but it wasn't going well for them at the moment.
Naruto looks to me, "Akemi-chan, do you know how to release everyone from this Genjutsu?" He asks with a determined expression on his face.
I open my mouth to speak, but I drew a blank. I knew that it was something simply and it was actually really easy to do, but I couldn't remember what it was. I shake my head instead, "I'm sorry Naruto-kun, but I don't remember." I say, feeling disappointed in myself. The one time to forget something happened to be now of all times.
Naruto frowns, also looking unhappy.
"Rinnegan Genjutsu can be dealt with using the Rinnegan, probably." Sasuke interjects with a thoughtful expression.
Kakashi nods his head, "So that means we'll need Sasuke's Rinnegan eye."
Black Zetsu takes a step forward, bringing him to our attention. "I won't let that happen. All that's left to do is to get rid of you guys." He says, his voice filled with venom.
Madara chose that moment to plummet down into the earth in a dramatic entrance. "Which I, the saviour of the world will do." Madara says, a smirk on his face as he was crouched on the ground.
"Madara…" Naruto growls his name lowly.
Sasuke looks around and sees Madara's four Shadows. "Be careful, we're surrounded by his Shadows." Sasuke says, looking cautious.
Looking around, I see that Sasuke was indeed right. They were circling us, with Madara at the front of the circle.
Madara stands up. "I won't allow you to go any further. I have just severed the Karmic Cycle of this world. I have freed humankind from all their suffering, pain and futility." As he spoke, Madara had an air of arrogance around him. He believed he had already won.
"But all this is just a lie!" Naruto yells out with anger in his eyes.
Madara looks and glares at Naruto, "Naruto, you're the one who is interfering with everyone's happiness. Just look at everyone now, all the fighting between Shinobi has ceased. I've transformed hell into heaven."
"This is what you call happiness?!" I yell out and then point to all the people who are trapped. "They have no free will, you are not a saviour!"
Madara's glare hardens on me, "I am only correcting Hashirama's mistake!"
I step forward, completely in a rage. "No you're not! Wars may have happened, but don't forget that you've started the Fourth Great Ninja War, if that's the case then you are no better!" I scream at him, wanting nothing more than dispose of Madara once and for all.
Madara frowns. "I will admit, I did trigger the Fourth Great Ninja War. However, I did make a proposition to peacefully hand over the Bijū. Right now everyone is in the Divine Tree and each one of them is dreaming of their own idyllic dreams."
"Is this your idea of a perfect world? You're just deceiving people." Sasuke says, looking annoyed.
"I just want to be the saviour that ends the long history of fighting amongst Shinobi. But know this, it is over." Madara says, with a twisted smile on his face.
Saying nothing, I look to Black Zetsu. I was wait for him to back stab Madara and betray him. In the anime, this is where he would reveal that he was on Kaguya's side and was only manipulating Madara all this time. Years of wondering what Zetsu was had finally been revealed.
But it never came.
Black Zetsu didn't stab Madara through the chest, in fact he just stood behind Madara with a calm expression. Seeing this, I knew instantly why he didn't attack Madara. Black Zetsu was too weak to take down Madara. I could still see the burns on Black Zetsu where my Tenshi no Chakra had hit him.
I take a step forward and look at Madara, "No, it's not over."
That's when I look back over to Black Zetsu. "Are you going to tell him, or should I?" I say, a smirk growing on my face.
Black Zetsu growls at me, a livid look in his yellow eyes. He knew that I knew what he was planning. He had been thinking of other ways to use Madara to bring back Kaguya.
Naruto looks to me, "What do you mean, Akemi-chan?"
"I mean the part were Black Zetsu isn't on Madara's side, but a side of his own and Kaguya's." I say, feeling smug when Black Zetsu snarled viciously at me.
Madara laughs, "Impossible! I created him."
"Actually, Kaguya did. He's been manipulating you this whole time." I say while crossing my arms in a confident manner.
Madara stops laughing when he sees that I am serious.
Sasuke looks to me, "You knew this whole time?" He asks, arching a brow at me with a curious expression.
I nod my head, "Yep. But I couldn't risk it getting out." I say honestly. If the wrong person had found out then the results could have been disastrous.
Madara seemed to turn on Black Zetsu, a deadly look in his eyes.
Black Zetsu grins largely, only making him look insane, "She's right. Madara, you've also been in a dream, one that I have concocted."
"Attack now." Naruto whispers lowly to us. He could see our chance, Madara was distracted with Black Zetsu.
Nodding our heads, we charge at Madara. As we got closer, we each began making a jutsu, pouring a large portion of our chakra into this attack.
Naruto stretched his right hand out, "Senpō: Yōton Rasenshuriken!" A Rasengan appeared in his hand in the shape of a shuriken, but in the middle there was a ball of lava.
Sasuke stretches his left hand out. "Enton: Kagutsuchi!" Black flames appeared in his hand, and he thrust it back, ready to attack.
My Tenshi no Chakra flares up. "Tenshi no Kurenjingu!" A massive ball made of white light is launched at the Madara.
Just before our attacks hit Madara, they merged together and increased the power of the attack. It took the shape of Naruto's shuriken Rasengan, but was surrounded in black flames and was covered in a white ball of light. Madara turned his head, but was too late to dodge the powerful attack. Madara screams as the attack obliterated half of his body. To escape, Madara jumped into the air, and tried to regenerate so he could retaliate.
However, my eyes began to pulse. I grit my teeth and covered my eyes with my hands, the pulsing only getting worse.
"Akemi, what's wrong?" Kakashi asks, looking down at me with worry in his eyes.
The pulsing stopped suddenly and I removed my hands. "I don't know…" I say, feeling different. My eyes felt different. I looked at Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi and I could see an aura around them. Kakashi's was blue, Sasuke's purple and Naruto's aura was orange.
Naruto looks at me and gasps, "Akemi-chan! Your eyes!"
I stare at him confused for a moment.
Sasuke stares at me for a moment before handing me his sword he had picked back up, and I looked at my reflection in his sword. Staring down at myself I see that my eyes were now purple, like when my Shīringu was activated. However, I now had one black pupil and one white pupil. Usually I didn't have pupils at all while using the Shīringu so I found this strange. Looking up at Madara, I could see his aura. It was red and was faint, but getting stronger. Before I could even realise it, my Tenshi no Chakra had flared and my wings appeared on my back once more.
"I have an idea." I say, looking to my teammates with a smirk before bursting into the air and after Madara.
Naruto shouts in protest, but I ignored it for the time being.
I don't know how, but I had an idea. It was like I was acting on instinct and my body was reacting on its own. My thoughts trailed back to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. He had given me a power, but I didn't know what it was. I knew what Sasuke and Naruto could do, but my power had been a mystery to me. However, I had a feeling it was to do with me being able to see people's auras now.
Getting closer to Madara, I could see him struggling. Half his body had been obliterated in our attack and he was having a hard time regenerating. Madara sees me and his eyes widen. He attempts to move back, but I was too fast for him.
My Tenshi no Chakra flares up and a name comes to mind. "Tenshi no Karitori-shi!" I yell out, and my eyes pulse once more. Instinctively, my hand reached out and stabs through Madara's chest. Madara cries out in pain. He tries to move away, but I use my other hand and grab onto his cloak to keep him in place.
When my hand stabbed through his chest, I felt his aura shift. His aura began to shrivel up and from into my hand in his chest until there was only a tiny bit left. Forcefully, I pulled my hand away and I look down. There was no blood on my arm but there was a ball of red in my hand. Looking down at him and I realise what I had done just by looking into Madara's eyes. His Rinnegan eyes looked vacant, like there was hardly any life there.
I couldn't see people's auras, I could see their souls.
I drop Madara and let him plummet to the ground in shock. I had just taken his soul, I had Madara Uchiha's soul in my hands.
Flying back down, I let my wings disappear again.
"Akemi-chan! That was amazing!" Naruto runs over to me with a grin on his face.
Sasuke also rushes over and sees the red orb in my hand, "What's that?" He asks, looking down at me curiously.
"It's Madara's soul." I say, staring at the soul intently. I look back over to Madara, who was laying on the ground. He seemed dead, but I could see the movement from his chest and his orbs were trying to heal him. I hadn't taken all of his soul, but I had taken nearly all of it. I realised that if I had went along with my instincts then I would have taken all his soul, but I fought back against it. Grabbing a scroll from my pouch, I place Madara's soul inside. I didn't know what else to do with it so I sealed it away.
That's when Madara screams loudly.
Sasuke looks around and notices the Shadow Madara had disappeared too.
That's when I felt it. It was like a wave of chakra was being absorbed into Madara's body. With my new eyes, I could now see loads of chakra travelling from the roots to Madara. My eyes widen my I realise what was happening.
Kaguya was going to be summoned.
"Akemi, what's happening?" Kakashi looks over to me.
"Kaguya's going to be brought back." I say, sighing deeply as I thought. I don't know how it was possible, I thought I had prevented it from happening by me taking Madara's soul. Black Zetsu hadn't activated it.
Naruto looks alarmed, "What?"
I look to Black Zetsu and glare at him, wanting answers.
Black Zetsu laughs, all too happy to share. "I knew that Akemi-chan would be the one to dispose of Madara. The moment her Tenshi no Chakra touched him, it activated a seal I placed on Madara just moments ago." He laughs, his voice sounding like nails on a chalkboard.
I curse loudly.
The ground below us began to break and pillars of chakra burst from the ground, all pouring into Madara. We all jump back to get away and not to get caught up in the attack.
"Is he absorbing all the chakra that's erupting from the ground?" Kakashi asks, landing safely away.
I nod my head, "Yes, with that Kaguya will be summoned."
Sasuke observes the chakra for a moment. "It's probably from everyone trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Madara screams echo loudly, as parts of him began to bulge out. His body couldn't handle the amount of chakra that was being pumped into him.
"This chakra is much stronger than the Jūbi's!" Naruto exclaims, his eyes wide.
"Then we need to stop them before they move." Sasuke says, his Chidori Blade forming in his left hand.
Naruto nods his head and creates a Rasengan in his other hand. Not one to be left out, activate my Tenshi no Chakra, ready to attack. We all charge at Madara, but we were stopped. Madara's white hair had grown immensely, it shot out and wrapped itself around myself, Naruto and Sasuke, separating us.
Black Zetsu laughs, "Like three moths flying into the flame. I'm going to absorb all the chakra out of the three of you right now." He says, looking at me with the most crazed look in his eyes. I knew that he wanted to get me back for before.
Naruto grits his teeth, "Dammit."
Kakashi watches, trying to analyse the situation before running in. He knew that if he just ran in without a plan, it wouldn't end well. He wanted to go help his students so badly, but he knew better.
I attempted to move or struggle, but the hair wrapped around me even tighter. "I can't get free." I grit out, feeling the air leave my lungs
"Sasuke! Akemi-chan! If we don't stop him now, he'll drain everyone else's chakra before ours and they'll all die!" Naruto exclaims.
Sasuke struggles even more.
Black Zetsu grins, "Don't worry, no one is going to die."
Naruto and Sasuke look to Black Zetsu.
"No, it'll be an even worse fate. They'll all be turned into White Zetsu for Kaguya's army." I spit out, glaring at Black Zetsu in anger. I could see Black Zetsu's soul – I was surprised he even had one – and it was black, black as night. It was quite fitting actually.
Black Zetsu grins before disappearing into Madara.
Madara bulged more until he was a ball made up of black and white. Chakra was still travelling into him, causing him to swell more and more.
Naruto looks at Madara, "He's getting bigger!"
"At this rate he's going to explode." Sasuke comments, staring at Madara as he continued to swell, his body completely unrecognisable.
The swelling Madara pulsed, and then it all turned black, other than his hair which stayed white. But then the ball began to shrink until it began to from a more feminine figure.
My eyes widen as I stare at Kaguya.
"God dammit." I curse under my breath.
Kaguya had arrived.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
The vote for Obito's fate is now CLOSED. I am not going to put what the final vote is so it will be a surprise in the few chapters. Any votes that come in after I post this new chapter will NOT be counted.
I didn't do everyone's Infinite Tsukuyomi dream, I only chose a few that I thought would be interesting to write.
But if anyone is curious, here are a few other people's dreams that I was going to write but decided against it.
Neji's Dream: The divide between the main branch and the second branch has gone. He is also the head of the Hyuuga Clan and is married to Tenten. Akemi also admitted that she used to fancy him and regrets she didn't voice it – Neji did have a crush on her but grew out of it
Jiraiya's Dream: Minato and Kushina never died, and Jiraiya constantly visits and watches over Naruto as his God Father. He and Tsunade also get together and he becomes a very famous author.
Tsunade's Dream: Everyone she has ever loved never died or betrayed her. Dan became Hokage, and her younger brother became the next Hokage after him. She and Dan also had a little girl together called Nadeshiko.
Gaara's Dream: Gaara's mother didn't die during childbirth and he had a very good upbringing. He had a load of friends and was allowed to play with Naruto whenever he pleased. Akemi also returns his feelings towards him and they are together
After writing Hinata's dream, I realised that I kind of made her a Sasuke x Akemi shipper!
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to leave a review tell me what you think!
