Author's Notes. Since the introduction of the last chapter and this one, the names of all the Jinchuuriki have been revealed. As such, I shall now go by their real names. Gaara is still Gaara, Yugito is Yugito, Nami is staying Nami as Yutaka was the yondiame Mizukage.

He stretched his arms, groaning as he did. He felt as stiff as a corpse. Then he remembered why that was, and realized he was a corpse. "What the hell," the ninja asked the air.

"Finally awake, guppy," Raiga asked from where he leaned against the way.

Kisame scowled at him. "Damn it, I told you not to call me that!" Kisame shakenly got to his feet so he could thrash his fellow swordsman. "Wait a minute, when did you die?"

Raiga arched an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

"This is hell! Only place I could go to after getting that sword shoved through my chest!"

Raiga looked at him blankly for a moment before he began to laugh. "You aren't belly up, guppy!"

"ENOUGH WITH THE FISH JOKES! How am I not dead?"

"The super brat is friends with Tsunade, duh. He said once Akatsuki was dead, you could be revived."

Kisame blinked a few times. "Akatsuki is dead? Laid out on ice? Kicked the bucket? Pushing up daisies?"

"Except for you and this blue haired woman, yeah."

"Why's Kohan alive but none of the others? The gaki have a problem killing women?"

Raiga hesitated. "They didn't do it. From what we can tell, it was a group of monsters, seven of them, all with tails. Most call themselves after the four horsemen. A few after one of the seven deadly sins. And the leader of the group calls himself Carnage."

"They killed everyone? Even Pain?"

"In an hour," Raiga informed him, making his eyes go wide. "The jinchuuriki have all gone to fight them but...I don't think they can do it." He grinned all of a sudden. "Now what's this I hear about you not telling them about Yagura?"

Kisame chuckled. "Did I forget about her?"

"Too late to deny it," Raiga told him with a knowing smirk. "Admit it already, you didn't want her to die."

"Alright, I thought she had a raw enough deal anyway. I wanted to at least spare her for as long as I could, can it."

"What are you two arguing about," a man in a red coat said, walking in the room. "Go ahead, Tenten," Auron said to the girl at the door.

She walked in, a forty pound sword on her back now, very similar to the Shura that Auron used. "Hai, Auron-sensei." She bowed to Kisame. "Kisame-san, I am Tenten, the apprentice of Auron. It...is a pleasure to finally meet you sir."

Kisame looked up at his older counterpart. "What's up with this?"

"She's a fan," Raiga said with a shrug. "That, and she wants to be a weapons mistress."

"So, naturally, zanbatou came around," Auron told him. "And she came to me for training."

Tenten straightened. "Hai, I have already met the Demon of the Mist, the Thunder of the Mist, Mangetsu, the Fang of the Mist, my sensei, the Scar of the Mist, and now you, the Monster of the Mist."

Kisame rubbed his chin. "One, you're still two short. Two, not much of a swordsman without a sword." Tenten's eyes lit up in an almost frightening way.

"My family owns a weapons shop! One of the best in the village! Please, come to it and I'll make sure you get one that will suit you!"

"Nah, only one sword I want. Going to be a pain in the ass to get it back."

"Naruto's Samehada," Tenten said, nodding. "He is said to be the most dangerous ninja in the village even before he got that blade. It's just a rumor still, but I heard he used it to kill two S ranked missing ninja with it. Diedara of Iwa and Sasori of Suna."

"Shit," Kisame muttered. "I go to sleep for a bit and the punk racks up some big kills."

"That isn't half of it," Auron stated. "He was gone for some time recently. He came back after killing the leader of Akatsuki, Uchiha Madara. And just before he left now, he killed Kakuzu."

"Yeah," Raiga said, grinning again. "Zabuza is banging his head in, regretting not getting this kid to take his place as one of the Seven. The Darkness of the Mist?"

"Nah, the Blade of the Mist," Auron offered.

"You're both wrong," Kisame said. "You would know if you fought him though. He's a hunter, a predator. He would be the Spider of the Mist or the Hunter of the Mist." He shivered involuntarily, seeing that white spider again. "He beat me and Itachi in three moves." They all shivered.

—oo000oo—

Carnage stood on a hill, already planning on creating a throne of bones here. As he stood there, his tails waving behind him, his eyes were closed, sensing the whole of wave with his spider sense. His eyes snapped opened. "Impossible," he stated. "No mortal can sneak up behind me." He turned around and saw a man in armor, with a horned helm.

"Oh, no, dear Kyuubi," the man said. "I am no mortal, I am far greater than that, far greater than even you."

Carnage growled at him, flexing his claws. "You think high of yourself, human! Any last words before you die!?"

"How about...heel." Carnage's face became strained as he fought to stay upright. He stopped, crouching on his feet, his hands on the ground. "Speak."

"Bark."

"Now, I can order you to play dead, Kyuubi, only you won't be playing. Do I have your attention?"

"YOU SON OF A..." His mouth snapped shut by some unseen force.

"Temper, temper," the man said. "Is that anyway to speak to a god?"

Carnage's face fell slack. "Who are you?"

The god smiled, "I am the all powerful Loki, Kyuubi."

Carnage swallowed but showed no other sign he was concern. "What is it you wish with me, Loki?"

Loki raised a finger and waved it in a circle six times before snapping it. The other six appeared around him. "Not just you, Kyuubi, all the Bijuu. Oh, it seems that two are missing, I shall have to remedy that." He snapped his fingers again before two more appeared. Roushi and Utakata appeared. They were dazed a moment before they began rolling on the ground, screaming and holding their heads. "I do suggest you bind a symboint to them."

—oo000oo—

Wrath, the former four tails, licked his lips in excitement while Pride, the former six tails, sighed and stretched. "Ah brothers and sister," Wrath said. "However did you release me from my prison?"

"They didn't," Loki said to them, "I did."

Lust looked at him a moment before she smiled. "Loki, its so good to see you. I haven't seen you since that night several thousand years ago, you animal. Even after all this time, you butter up to me, what with releasing my siblings."

Loki shivered, remembering that particular one night stand. "That isn't why I did it nor why I'm here."

"Who says it can't also be why you're here?" She walked around him, trailing a claw on his cheek and letting him see her excessively long tongue. "Imagine the things I can do now."

Loki was silent a moment. "Tempting, Isonade, very tempting. But business before pleasure?"

Lust tilted her head a little and pouted. "Why can't business be pleasure?"

Most of the men there swallowed hard. That didn't include Carnage. "Damn it woman, shut the hell up! What do you want with us, godling!?"

Loki looked at him, making him take a step back. "What I want is a tree, a very special tree. Yggdrasil."

Lust sighed, "You still going on about Ragnarok? Destroying the world is so overrated. We know, we've done it."

"I know that, which is why I want you nine as my agents."

"I serve no one, man or god," War growled.

"You know who I serve," Death told him. She growled as the image of the Shinigami appeared for a moment.

"Take up Lust on her offer," Carnage growled. "That is all you'll get from us."

"Not even if I offer you to make you whole?" Carnage stood straight. "You feel it, don't you? The lost, the hunger to be whole again. The power you had, the power you wielded. The lives of thousand, the power you had to take them or move on, ignoring them as the insects they are." Carnage almost moaned in pleasure at feeling that once again. "You want it, now."

Loki snapped his finger and Carnage was pulled from his reverie, panting. "What do you want?"

"The world tree has been hidden, far from my sight and even your's. But there is still one being that can find it. The devourer of the Sun, Fenrir."

"What does that have to do with us," Gluttony asked.

Loki smiled. "Fenrir is a wolf." All of them focused on Carnage.

"You want me to summon this wolf? So that it may lead you to the tree that when is destroyed, all life and this world will end? Why?"

"Why? Maybe because the other part of the prophecy says that paradise will be created afterwards. Maybe I hope to rule that paradise. Or maybe..." He grabbed Carnage by the throat and lifted him in the air. "I just want every living thing to die."

Carnage sneered down at him. "Why should we help you then, considering we are living as well."

Loki dropped him. "Paradise will come. Who says that you nine need die? Do this for me, summon Fenrir, follow him to that which hides Yggdrasil, and protect him while he destroys it, and I will grant you true immortality and the power of a god. In paradise, you will be gods among insects. And Galactas will truly fear all of you."

Carnage smiled evilly. "Well, when you put it like that... What must I do to summon the Sun Eater?"

"The power of all of you is needed," Loki told him. "Be warned, the Ravens will not let this be. Even with Skarmory dead."

"HAHAHAHA! I have no fear of them!"

Loki held the blade of his sword to his throat. "YOU FOOL! As Fenrir is bound to me so the Ravens are bound to Odin! With choosing you as my champions, so has Odin chosen his! The final battle will be fought here, on this patch of earth, on this day! Even now, the new Thor makes his way here!"

"Thor?"

Pride looked to Wrath, "Our counter parts. They have these...items. Things I'd swear to have seen before."

"They went to the remains of New York and found forgotten power there," Loki told them. "Summon Fenrir, quick, so that all life here will end."

Pestilence smirked, "And when we start killing everything, we start with the babies!" Everyone, even Loki stared at him. He just shrugged, holding a chakra blaster he picked up in Ame, "What, babies creep me out. Rock-a-bye BANG!"

—oo000oo—

Roshi suddenly collapsed, rolling several yards along the ground. "What happened," several people shouted, jumping down to him on the ground.

It took several moments before he could speak. "Impossible," he said.

"What's impossible," Naruto demanded.

"A god has taken my other half," the Yonbi told them as he stood. "Just took him."

"A god," Hinata asked. "Roshi-san, what are you talking about?"

"I am Yonbi, child, not Roshi. I mean just what I said, I felt a great power, far greater than even my siblings and I, grab part of my soul and took it away. It had to have been a god. Why though?"

Naruto looked confused, "...He wanted a earthen servent," her surmised. "A mortal agent, the most powerful he could get. We will find your other half later, Yonbi. Carnage and the others still hold Wave hostage."

"Yes, we do need to continue," Yonbi replied. "All haste, manlings, we must stop them."

—oo000oo—

As the jinchuurikis arrived at the Fire side of the straight that separated Wave from Fire, the felt a great discharge of chakra followed by an earth shaking howl. Kimimaro focused at something he swore he saw moving on the distant island. Yet, that couldn't be, even Skarmory wasn't so big to be that easy to see at that distance. "Lord Naruto, did you see something move over there?"

"No, we didn't...hold on." Looking at a nearby tree, he climbed up it and looked again. "...What is that?"

"What do you see, Nine," Yugito asked.

"Something...massive. Larger even than the Kyuubi."

"Nothing is that large," Kira called.

"This is, no doubt, it has something to do with Carnage. We must hurry." Him and Haku jumped down on the water, did the same handsigns, and pressed their hands to the water. Ice shot across the water, freezing it solid. Using chakra, they skated across it as fast as they could. As they went, Hinata began to shiver.

"Naruto-kun...we feel...something is coming for us," she told him.

—oo000oo—

Fenrir, the Sun Devourer, raised his nose in the air. "Yes...I smell the keepers... The wood summoners."

"SENJU!?" All nine demons roared in anger. "They keep the damn tree," Carnage demanded.

Making Fenrir laugh, "Why else, little demon, would they have the power to control the Nine Bijuu? Odin hid it in their blood, I can smell it. Clever, in the bloodline of humans."

"Senju is dead,"Death told it. "The last of the clan can't even control a flower."

Fenrir sniffed her, "...Tsunade..." he stated. "No, that isn't who I smell."

Carnage began to laugh uncontrollably. "I can't believe it! There are still two! A man that had the ability implanted in him and another, one of my other's mates, Hyuuga Hinata! She can use Mokuton thanks to her bonding with her symbiont, Truth."

War smirked as well, "And she is likely coming here, with our weaker selves."

"Fenrir," Lust said, "you be a good dog and get the girl. We will kill the others."

"Wait, we're really going to kill them? Even Gaara," Pestilence asked.

"Of course Gaara," Famine snarled.

He frowned a moment before shrugging. "Whatever you say, fuzzball, I won't say no to a little murder. Strike a pose!"

—oo000oo—

Yugito touched the shore first and held up a hand. "Something isn't right," she said, sniffing the air. All those with a symbiont jumped away suddenly, pulling those without one with them minus Han, as he was too large and heavy to move. There was an explosion where they had been standing and when the smoke cleared, Han dusted himself off and stared at the wolf towering over them. Nine figures dropped from it to the ground.

"Well, well, well,"War said, looking up at his former container. "You got big since last I saw you, Han. Real big."

"Gobi," he said with a slow nod and popping his knuckles. "I'm going to tear you apart."

The armored bijuu laughed at him, "We shall see."

"Venom," Carnage called, "If you would be so kind as to hand over Truth, we can finish our business."

Naruto snarled at him. "What do you want with her, monster!?"

"Oh, several things comes to mind," he said, his long tongue licking his lips. "But don't worry, I won't harm her, yet at least. You see, I need her help summoning a tree."

"We will never help you," Hinata said through her Ironman helmet.

Carnage looked at her curiously. "Sister, didn't you eat him once?"

"Yes," Death said after a moment. "Long, long ago...in New York."She nodded, remembering it clearly now. "Crunchy outside, soft, crispy center." She licked her lips as well, "Now I'm getting hungry."

Yugito glared at her. "Nekomata, I thought we were at an understanding."

"We were, kitten, but the playing field changed."

Kira looked at Famine, even with his number of tails wrong and the symbiont hiding his face, he knew him. "And you, Hachi? I thought we were friends."

Famine shrugged, "Hey, we are. I can't help it if I get tired of being cooped up and wanted to go for a walk. Although, now that I'm free, I think I like it that way."He grinned at Kira, "Don't forget, right now, you are talking to the side that will gladly use you as I want and throw you away afterwards. I am going to take your body as my own and seal you in my mind."

Pestilence looked around, searching for someone and saw him. "Gaara, buddy, I missed you! Nothing has been the same without you, no one calls me rodent anymore, and Carnage is a bed wetter."

Several people snorted at that, including the giant wolf behind them. "One day brother," Carnage said. "One day I will rip out your fucking tongue."

Pestilence looked at him a moment before turning back to Gaara, "He's very ashamed."

"You put up with that all your life," Nami asked. "You're a real man."

Gaara nodded, "...Shut up, rodent."

Pestilence grinned in replied, "Ah, just like old times."

Fuu looked at Glutton through her helmet. "You've put on weight," she said to her.

"Only a little," the Seven Tails replied, showing off her figure. "I personally always thought you could use a little meat on your bones."

"Enough," Carnage shouted. "Fenrir, get the girl, we will kill the rest!"

Everyone was about to jump at each other when Pestilence shouted, "Wait! My Common Sense is tingling!" He looked deep in though a moment, and Gaara knew he was planning something. "Okay, go ahead."

—oo000oo—

All hell broke loose, in Haku's opinion, as all of the jinchuuriki charged at their bijuu save Carnage and Naruto who only stood there, staring at each other. Jutsus, weapons, energy blast, and bullets were being thrown everywhere. She tried to get to Naruto's side to help him but Hinata shouting at she dodged the giant wolf made her help her instead. She aimed the S.L.C at Fenrir and fired. The blast hit it and threw it from its feet. It rolled several yards, got back up, snarling at her, and lunged.

—oo000oo—

Carnage and Naruto began to circle, Carnage holding his copy of Samehada and a Kage Keiri while Naruto held two Kage Keiri. "We will kill you, Carnage, and free us both of your evil."

"You make it sound like my good half didn't enjoy those things I did. No, I can sense it, he did as much as I did. Of course, soon, it won't matter, you will only be a memory, Venom, and I will remain." They ran at each other, crossing swords. "Why don't you draw it? Samehada is still on your back or did you forget it?"

"We remember." Naruto ducked an slash that would have taken his head off and Carnage grabbed the hilt of his Samehada, ripping it free from his back, tossing aside the Kage Keiri.

"HAHAHA! You've grown sloppy, boy! Now I possess the two most powerful swords in the world!"

"Everything has a weakness," Naruto reminded, attacking him. 'We have to get him in the right possition!'

—oo000oo—

Famine slashed at Kira with his seven swords and was shocked when a sword made of lightning cut some in half. He ducked as a sword glistening with poison went in for a high stab. "Hmm, enchanted weapons." Famine flashed a grin, "While those do are nice, don't think that will help you. You're skill hasn't increased." New swords replaced the old while Kira got in the same stance. They attacked again, with a chakra cloak covering Kira to give him tails to counter Famine's.

—oo000oo—

Fuu shot a laser blast from her palm while Glutton twisted under it. "Not back, darling,"she said, getting closer and knocking her to the ground, "just not good enough!"

She went to rip the armor off her when something metal hit her. It ricochet off her, the ground, Fenrir, to be caught by Kimimaro. He slipped it onto his back, pulling out his bone sword as he did. "Dance of the Camella." Kimimaro danced close to her, completely throwing off her attacks. Every now and then he would use his bone bullets to keep her off balance, until he saw his chance. He stabbed his sword down into her foot and the ground. Slipping behind Glutton, he grabbed her arms and held on with all of his strength while using Anti-Venom to destroy the symbiont. "Fuu! Use a sonic blast!"

"You wouldn't! You'll kill him too!"

Kimimaro smirked, "We're immune to sounds and heat." Glutton widened her eyes while Fuu stood back up and aimed her shoulder cannon at them. A shrill sound filled the air and quickly picked up pitch. Glutton struggled harder to escape but couldn't with her symbiont almost dead. "Goodbye." The last hit the both of them, throwing Kimimaro from his feet and killing Glutton. Fuu fell to the ground and inside her mind.

—oo000oo—

Glutton shook her head as she looked around in great pain, seeing a mountain with a waterfall. "I know this place," she said confused. Red silk scarves wrapped around her arms, tying her to the stone walls. "WHAT'S GOING ON!?"

Fuu stepped into view. "You'll see, good bye, Glutton." She vanished and Glutton heard what sounded like a good many insect wings flying in the breeze. Her eyes widened at seeing a giant four winged insect, her good half, descend on her and she screamed while it ate her.

—oo000oo—

Pride looked around and sighed, "Too bad, Utakata isn't here. I'll just find him later. Oh well, I'll go play with her," he said, seeing the still prone Fuu. "Sister Glutton, where are you..." He lifted his foot, seeing he had stepped into what had been a humanoid before being smeared on the ground, with a dead symbiont mixed in. "...Too bad." He took a deep breath and bubbles began to come from his mouth. They started to move to her when a round shield flew through the air, taking destroying several of them, leaving explosions in the air.

"I don't think so," Kimimaro said, catching the shield. He slid it on his hand and pulled out his spine whip.

—oo000oo—

Han ran at War, getting hit several time by projectiles but they bounced off him. War hit him with a hammer only for it to also bounce off. "Oh shi..." Han slammed him through a tree, a boulder, and into the ground. He raised his fist and brought it down, planning to crush his head but before he could, War caught it with a web, and guided it to the side. "You are powerful, Han, makes it all the sweeter when I take over you!" He pressed a hand to the mask and the symbiont began to flow through the holes and into his mouth. Blind, Han grabbed his arm and began to crush it. "Struggle all you want, you can't beat the horseman of WAR!" After a few moments, Han stopped moving and War let him drop to the ground. "I win again."

—oo000oo—

Roushi jumped over Wrath and placed his hand to the ground. It began to heat up and turned into lava, from his hand to far pass where Wrath was currently in the air. "Time to go home, Gobi!"

"Not today!" His hand flew into several handsigns and he touched the ground as well. Several bamboo size pillars rose from the ground. He stood, balancing on foot over the boiling pit of lava, motioning for Roushi to come up and join him. The oldest jinchuuriki there jumped and flipped through the air, landing on a pillar with one foot as well. "These symbionts are something, aren't they? Making an old man like us as spry as you were a long time ago."

"That they are, too bad when I kill you, Greed goes back."

"Not going to happen!" Wrath charged him, throwing several claws and fist through the air. Roushi jumped to the side, running to get to the side to strike his blind spot. When more came at him, he jumped backward, between the pillars. Wrath ran to where he fell and looked down at him burning corpse. Only he didn't fall in nor did he see him. "Where are you, old man? Come out, come out, where ever you are." Roushi jumped to the side of a pillar not far from him, sweating bad from the heat. With a swing of his leg, he broke a pillar, let it dip in the lava, and sent it flying at Wrath. The bijuu spun around and caught it. "Have to do better than... Hell."

"Here you go!" Dozens more followed the first. Wrath spun the one he had like a staff, knocking the incoming ones away. He was about to laugh at him when he realized something. Roushi had moved in a circle around him, he was standing on the last pole for a very good distance, while the old man stood across from him, grinning. He broke another pole and threw it at the one Wrath was standing on, making it snap like a twig. Wrath started falling and created a web between the pillars. Seeing they were already beginning to burn, he ran to the edge, only to be blocked by Roushi.

"Are you mad!? In a moment the webs will burn and we both will die!"

"I would sooner die as well than let you loose on the word." Not willing to risk a jutsu, he entered a taijutsu stance and went on the attack. They ran back and forth, throwing punches and kicks, trying to get the advantage, and were quickly running out of room to run on. Roushi jumped to the next strand to avoid the kick only for it to snap when he landed. He dropped down, holding onto it and swung back up, missing the lava by inches. "...That was too close."

"No kidding," Wrath said, looking a little afraid for a moment.

"...I get it, if I die, you die." He turned to the side.

"ROUSHI! NOO!" He lunged at him only for Roushi to twist, grabbing him and sending them both down.

"Burn in hell, Gobi!" Roushi reached the end of the line he still held, and Wrath kept going. He still held his arm though so Roushi slid down the web line.

"AAAAGH!" Wrath screamed while the lave ate away his body and he clawed at Roushi's arm to pull himself up. All he did was pull him down more. Roushi screamed in pain as well as the limb was destroyed but with nothing for Wrath to hold on to, he was dropped in the lava to thrash around before dying. Roushi quickly pulled himself up and looked at the dying bijuu.

"Said he would burn," he said in a pained voice. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and Greed took control, moving clear of the lava before collapsing as well.

—oo000oo—

Roushi grabbed Wrath with several lava clone and pulled him to Gobi. He winced and looked away while the giant ape crush the clone and began to eat him. "Ow," he said after a moment.

—oo000oo—

Nami and Lust vanished from sight. She crawled through the hills and found herself a good spot. On a hill looking down a valley, she looked for her double. She spent several minutes looking through the scope of the bowcaster when she saw a glimmer. She focused on it and knew it was Lust, focusing on her. They were looking each other in the eye. Nami fired, a bolt of green, superheated plasma launching from the end. It traveled through the air, slipping pass it's counterpart, and entered the scope of Lust's crossbow, taking her in the eye. The bolt Lust fired entered Nami's scope, even as she began to move. It entered eye and broke through the bone on the side of her head, hurting like hell but leaving her alive. She pressed a hand to the wound and growled, "Son of a bitch!" She jumped up and went to make sure the slut was dead. She found her on the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth, part of her head burned away.

Lust's one eye took forever to focus on her. "Ki...ki...kill...m...me..." Nami looked away a moment before pulling back the bowcaster again, aiming at her head, and destroying her.

—oo000oo—

Inside Nami's mind, Lust couldn't even struggle, the pain still very real to her. Isonade too pity and made it quick.

—oo000oo—

Fire surrounded Yugito and Death while they attacked one another. "PARDON ME!" Pestilence descended from above, trying to skewer Yugito on two swords but he missed and had the arm cut off by Yugito. "AAGH! Oh man..." he said, looking after the limb as it rolled away. "...Will you give me a hand? I'll go get it." Yugito, Death, and Gaara watched him run after it, pick it and said, "No worries!" He pressed it back to the stump, and started muttering, "Come on, go back...too far right...wait, that doesn't look right."He raised the limb into the air, "Hey, did I put this on right? It looks backwards to me." The arm bent the wrong way.

Death cupped her head and looked to the other two. "Please, kill him, I'm begging you."

Pestilence somehow fixed his arm and ran back, "That's not nice sister." She grew threw claws out and shoved them through his head. "Neither was that."

Gaara and Yugito looked at that with blank faces, though Gaara was expecting it. "We someone just kill the rodent?"

"What do you think I'm doing," Death replied.

"Scratching my brain," Pestilence replied. "Ooh, a little to the left."

Death ripped her claws out and spun him to Gaara, "Remember the plan? You kill him."

"Right...Gaara, buddy, you heard the lady." He threw his arms around, throwing kunai with explosives on them before grabbing his twin chakra blasters, one in both hands, and threw them wide, sending shots in all direction. When Gaara ran, he ran after him.

Death sighed in relief. "Finally."

"I take it he's a...idiot?"

"No, far from it, he is smart enough to plan assaults like you wouldn't believe, he is just isn't playing with a full deck."

"Got it, nuttier than a squirrel." They faced each other and began fighting again.

—oo000oo—

Pestilence had his blasters raised and pointed at Gaara while his sand was ready for him. "...Okay, now that we're away from the others."He holstered his weapons and turned away.

"...Huh? Aren't you going to try to kill me?"

"No."

"But I thought you were the evil half."

"No, no, I'm chaotic neutral! I just do what I want, forget the two sides of the coin, ask my counterpart. More over, I don't want the world destroyed! It's too fun!"

"...Okay, mind helping us stop that?"

"Hmm, okay. I'll deal with Fenrir." Pestilence ran away, "See you soon, buddy."

"He's still crazy," Gaara muttered.

—oo000oo—

Fenrir almost had Hinata when Pestilence jumped on his nose. "Who wants snacks!?" He threw a roll of explosive notes inside his mouth, "YOU DO!" He wrapped it shut with webbing, jumped down, and started running with Hinata and Haku. "Guys, I think we lost him!" The stacks exploded and threw the three of them to the ground. "And they lived happily ever after, except for Fenrir."

The smoke cleared to show Fenrir shaking his head and snarling. "I'LL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD!!!"

"Me," he said in surprise.

"He's all your's," Hinata said, grabbing him and spinning him around to throw.

"Hinata, wait, I'm your friend!" Hinata let go and Fenrir ran right at him, throwing him into the ground.

Hinata couldn't help but laugh before she saw Haku get throw to the ground. She turned around and saw War just in time for him to grab her. "Knock knock." He hit her faceplate, throwing her head back. He continued punching it until it was knocked off. "Now, about that tree..." A tendril of the symbiont slipped from his hand and entered her ear. She began to scream in pain even as she felt it manipulate her hand and chakra. War pumped her so full of chakra she thought she would die before he finished the last handsign and pressed them to the ground. He dropped her to the ground as an acorn formed. It burrowed into the ground and moments later, it began to shake. "YES! THIS IS IT!"

—oo000oo—

Naruto caught both Samehada in the notches of the Kage Keiri swords. "We win." Before Carnage could react, Naruto flipped the swords around, throwing them from his hands. In that moment of surprise, he picked up mjolnir and said, "Kage Enmu: Dance of Death!" Darkness descended around Carnage and he caught a hammer coming at him from the front, breaking his arms doing so.

"I WON'T DIE NOW!"

"Wrong," a dozen voices said before their weapons all crashed on him. The darkness lifted and the kage bunshin clones vanished, leaving Naruto to pick up both Samehada while Carnage was bleeding all over himself.

"I...won't...be...undone like...this," he said, said, blood falling from his mouth as well. He looked to his side and saw his arms gone, but also seeing the tree. "Doesn't...matter, your...world...is about to end."

"Shut up," Naruto said before cutting off his head. He looked behind him and saw Fenrir moving up to the tree. "SUMMONING NO JUTSU!"In three pillars of smoke, Ebony, Usagi, and Ookumi and the Fangs of the Tides were there. "Gentlemen."

"Naruto," Ebony said first. He looked at the wolf and gave a caw like laugh. "Well, if it isn't Loki's bastard son Fenrir!"

"I will kill you for that," Fenrir snarled. "Ookumi, as your patron, I order you kill these weaklings!"

The cubs with him looked back and forth, unsure what to do. "No, father, I will not."

"You would turn on your pack!?"

"...You are not of my pack, not for a long time."

Kimimaro looked at the exchange between them for a moment in his fight, did several handsigns, and said, "SUMMONING NO JUTSU!" A tower of smoke appeared and cleared to reveal a white tiger as large as Fenrir. "Tora-sama," Kimimaro said with a bow, "I respectfully request that you help Ookumi-sama, Usagi-sama, and Ebony-sama defeat the wolf Fenrir."

"What have I told you about being so respectful!? Enough already!" Tora shook his head, "He has one thick head. Now, I got the mutt..." He looked down at Pride, tilted his head, and stepped on him, grinding him into the ground. "After this, we share a drink and you tell me what the hell I missed."

"Of course, Tora-sama," he replied, making the tiger sigh.

Tora turned to the others, "Yo, yo, yo, who said you could start the party without me?" As one, they all ran at Fenrir, forcing him away from from Yggdrasil.

—oo000oo—

"DAMN IT MUTT," War shouted. "You are the son of a god! Kill them and destroy this damn tree!" To emphasize that, he pointed his arm at the thing but hit something. He looked behind him to find Han had finished regenerating. "Shit."

"You won't get the chance to, this time." He grabbed him by the head and began to squeeze. He crushed him like an egg.

—oo000oo—

War looked up to find that even in his mind, Han was still the juggernaut. "Shi..." A punch sent him right into the mouth of his good half.

—oo000oo—

Naruto and Kimimaro quickly ganged up on Death and Famine, killing them easily. "Hinata!? Haku," Naruto cried out, looking for them. "Where are you!?" He jumped out of the way of a gout of fire sent by Tora. "Hinata!? ...HAKU!?" He saw her lying on the ground, unmoving, and not far away laid Hinata, in the same state. "Oh god, please be alright!" He ran, ignoring the fighting titans as they clashed hundreds of feet away. "Haku!?" He reached her and pushed her shoulder. "Please get up! PLEASE! Come on, Serum, save her!" Her turned her eyes to him and opened them. They didn't see him. "...Come on... Fight! Fight!" He checked her over and didn't find a wound. "FIGHT!" He slapped her cheek and said it again in a strained voice. "Fight damn it..." He pressed his fingers to her neck a final time. Nothing. "No..." Remembering Hinata, he ran to her, tears coming from his eyes. "Hinata!" He reached her and didn't even try, her eyes were open, blood coming from them and her ears. "No...this...this isn't how...NO!"

He slammed a fist down on the suit. It powered up again and a voice said, "Heart rate stopped, beginning emergency procedures. Move away!" Electricity pumped into her body. "First attempt failed. Clear!" Her body tensed again. "Second attempt failed. Clear!" Her body tensed once more. Naruto stared at it, waiting what felt like forever for an answer. "...Heart rate climbing. Growing steady... Cannot move head to clear airways." Naruto needed no hint, he tilted her head back letting her breath and suddenly she began coughing. "Hinata! Thank Kami!" He wrapped her in a hug and said, "We thought we lost you too."

"Naruto," she said weakly. "We saw Haku being thrown... Where is she?"

"Hinata, we...

"Where is she," she said more insistantly.

Naruto turned his head away, "She's gone."

"No..."

"We tried to bring her back...

"No..."

"She..."

"NO!" She pushed him off and crawled over to her. "Haku, wake up!" She touched her and Truth and Serum merged a moment. Looking around, she saw her helmet. She shot it with a web line and pulled it back to her. Putting it on, she began to scan her body. "There!" She flipped her over, pulled serum from over her skin, aimed her palm laser at her back, and fired one more like a surgical laser. She made an incision and Naruto saw something there moving. She fired again and everyone with a symbiont heard something like a scream of pain was the last trace of War died. Serum began to mend it shut and Hinata put her on her side. "Breath...breath...BREATH DAMN IT!" There was a crash as Ookumi lunged at Fenrir's throat and threw him to the ground. He began thrashing, trying to tear it out. Fenrir pushed him off and tried to get back up on for Ebony to send a blade of wind at his leg, laming it. As he fell again, Usagi upended his bottle into his mouth.

"Hope you like this new draft! My finest poison yet!" Fenrir was forced to drink it when Tora hit his side and clawed open his stomach. Fenrir coughed, growled, threw them all off him again and lunged at the tree. He made a step before he threw up a river of blood. His eyes rolled up into his head before he fell to the ground. "Killed the bad guy, saved the world," Usagi said, as if expecting no less.

"But not our world," Naruto said, looking down at the still Haku.

Author's notes. You hate us? We would. Even more so when you see the next chapter. Note, Naruto still has both Samehada.
