As Naruto finally made it to the front line, he could not believe all the destruction the Kanazawa brothers caused in such a short amount of time. As the bandits ran to defeat Naruto, he defeated them with ease and helped some villagers to safety. The villagers could not believe that Naruto the demon container was actually saving their lives. As the rest of the bandits ran away in fear of the blonde demon, they had no idea it was the disciple of the legendary Toad Mountain Sage. As Hinata ran to the side of her fiancé a large muscular man with dark clothing with the headband of clouds stood in front of Hinata. As he motioned to strike her Naruto quickly caught his fist in his hand and grabbed Hinata by the waist and jumped to safety.
"So I finally found you, Naruto Uzumaki, I was beginning to think you are nothing but a coward. All these people are dead because you failed to meet us on the battlefield, I should have expected that you're still just a kid technically. Now show me what you learned at the age of 18, show me those legendary skills that you receive when you're older. Come fight me, the murderer of my father" said Hiroko.
He told Hinata to run and quickly help the villagers. As she did as she was told she left Naruto's side.
"The only one who is a coward is you; you could not face me in the future so you thought I would be weak in the past. I have nothing to fear from a weak clan as yours, I put that much fear into your heart that you dare not challenge me as an old man in the future. Let's end this now coward of the Kanazawa clan" yelled Naruto ready to strike him down.
As Hinata got some of the villagers safety, she was going back to help her fiancé defeat Hiroko in battle. As Hiroko looked at Naruto daring him to make the first move. He looked at him with evil eyes and even worse a killer promise to totally annihilate him, Naruto did not even flinch at the so-called devil of the Dark Cloud village. Naruto quickly pulled out his kunai and attacked Hiroko viciously to empty his blood from his body. Hiroko stood still and only blocked with one hand on every attack, Naruto wondered if he was reading his moves to stand still completely like that. Hiroko looked at Naruto and attacked him with the speed that was greater than his. Naruto was barely able to block, he quickly tried to form Rasengan to stop his attack, Hiroko grabbed Naruto's wrist and raise Naruto arm by holding his wrists and kicked him in the ribs. Naruto could have sworn he heard a bone break; Hiroko grabbed Naruto by his clothing and drugged him across the ground scraping his back completely leaving him raw and scarred. He grabbed Naruto by his arm and used his free arm to choke Naruto to death; Hinata quickly came to her fiancé's rescue as she tried to hit Hiroko chakra points. As Hiroko quickly let loose Naruto to get away from being hit, he knew that her abilities could seal off his chakra making it that much difficult to kill the two. As Hinata and Naruto were side-by-side ready to take the most powerful enemy they ever fought down, each one wanted to protect the other.
"Finally I have you both together making my job so much easier and sweeter, the cunning Fox of the Konoha and the beautiful Hawk of prey from the Hyuuga's. Do not worry I am not like my brothers I will make your deaths painless and quick. It's the least I could do for the Rokudaime for killing my father; my vision for the future will be reality. It starts right here right now at this very moment, Hiroko Kanazawa will be what the world needs, a king" as Hiroko smiled at the two knowing their deaths were at hand.
"What the hell are you talking about? Naruto never killed your father and why do you and your clan keeps referring to us as Fox and Hawk? I don't know your situation with us but if you touch my fiancée you better pray to your God for mercy because I will not have any for you" said Hinata almost growling for Hiroko to make a move.
"This is rich, she has no clue to who I truly am does she Rokudaime? You hid the truth from her to keep her safe. Here is a hint, I'm from the future and that paled eyed bitch is your daughter from the future. I believe her name is Shinata Uzumaki I guess you have so many children is hard to keep up with" as Hiroko removed his dark cloud robe and cloak to take care of the Uzumaki's in front of him.
"That cannot be there is no such thing as time travel. You're just as crazy as the ones who attack earlier, don't think for a second I will believe you" as Hinata got into her gentle fist stance.
"Take your husband silence, I can tell the way he's acting he knows. I heard that the resemblance is uncanny and that she has a deep devotion to the both of you, that's what I remember from our Intel in the future. Don't you think it is odd someone who looks like you is willing to die for you and is a Hyuuga? See when I kill you she vanishes as if she was never here, that's worse than death to never know existence" said Hiroko as he started to prepare to kill his enemies.
Hinata started to think one all the times she was with Shinata; they had a bond that was so strong it was rare for her to call someone a friend so quickly. She looked at the resemblance, her attitude, her determination and her power to stand by her friends. Shinata knew deep down in her heart that Hiroko was right, more than a feeling it was unshakable and unfathomable truth in her soul. Naruto could tell Hinata knew, he seen her for the first time shake and unsure on what to do. Hiroko seen an opening and attacked Hinata first, Naruto quickly blocked the punch coming toward Hinata. Hinata snap out of it and began to fight alongside her fiancé, she noticed that Hiroko began to get stronger and that he was more skilled than his other clansmen. Hiroko threw a punch so hard he was able to lift Naruto in the air with it and held him in the air with his fist; Hinata rushed to take down Hiroko from hurting Naruto even further, she received a backhand punch that dazed her. He threw Naruto down with such force that Naruto spat blood from the impact, Hinata recovered from the blow and quickly pulled out a set of kunai's to detour the man from Naruto's path. Hinata had an idea she decided to use her kunais with her Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms technique to stop Hiroko from advancing. As she activated her bloodline her eyes protruded and went pale searching for his chakra network, as she performed the jutsu with perfection with the kunai's she cut him numerous amounts of times on his body. Hiroko was shocked on the outcome that she was able to perform the technique that can kill even the highest rank ninja. As he backed up he made a hand sign and struck the ground, this technique made a sonic shockwave explosion that caused a powerful gust of wind that was able to live them in the air and send them crashing into the nearby wall. Naruto and Hinata never in their life seen that technique so powerful injured them so badly; their whole bodies were in excruciating pain beyond belief. Naruto rose to his feet and seen that Hinata was okay but badly bruised, he quickly tried to shake off the effects of the jutsu to prepare himself to fight Hiroko once again. With a smug look Hiroko walked slowly from the dust that his jutsu had caused, they looked at Naruto and wondered if this was truly the Rokudaime of the future.
"Come out Rokudaime is time to face your destiny, yours end mines begin this day. I promise just to kill you and not Hinata, I only need to kill you and I can go back to my time" said Hiroko walking through the dust.
"Do you think I am a complete idiot? I know what type of man you are and I would never believe your words. There are shallow as your threats are, unbelievable. It is time we end this" as Naruto stood over Hinata.
Hirokowho moved so quick he caught Naruto by his throat and quickly picked up Hinata by her throat. He began to squeeze when he noticed that they both started laughing, they both exploded with a tremendous force that almost killed Hiroko. Hiroko looked and saw that his arms were scorched from the explosion; he activated his curse seal in the nick of time.
"Very clever Rokudaime, you are so truly worthy of the name Sixth Hokage. Able to disguise yourself as a shadow clone along with Hinata that was unexpected and detonate the shadow clone like a bomb truly impressive. Since you brought out my form, it would be an honor to kill you with it. Consider yourself blessed only one other has seen my form, my father" as Hiroko search for Naruto in the area.
Naruto knew that Hiroko was way advanced than he ever could be right now, he really didn't know how he could fight him on an equal level. They had to of his shadow clones take Hinata to safety away from the battle; he figured they only needed one to die to change the future, so he chose himself to fight so Hinata could live. Hiroko waited patiently for Naruto to show, he knew that Naruto was planning an ambush to take him out. Hiroko stopped in the middle of the village and told Naruto that he' did not show, he will kill random victims at his leisure if he did not make an appearance. Naruto on hearing this decided to show and face Hiroko.
"You are the same just as in the future, weak and pathetic, worrying about everyone else except yourself. I don't see how you ever became so strong fighting for others, the strong survive and the weak should die it's like that in all animal kingdoms but you wish to change the natural order of things. I don't care if you killed my father he was weak and someone strong killed him that was you, now I am strong and you are weak so you shall die" as Hiroko started to walk toward Naruto.
"I don't know what kind of man I was in the future but I know what type of man I am now, you may be stronger and taller, bigger than me. But you will never be able to defeat me, there are people in this village I love that I can't see die because of something I did. I fight for them, I fight for their survival, I fight for their children but more importantly I fight for their future. So come at me with everything in your arsenal, you will fail" as Naruto prepared to end this battle.
Hiroko rushed Naruto connecting with a series of kicks and punches repeatedly to his body; Hiroko was amazed that Naruto even at that age at 18 could take a series of punishment the way he delivered his own brand of torture to the young future Hokage. He grabbed Naruto by his clothing and threw Naruto against the wall. As he walked to deliver a death blow to him, Shinata attacked Hiroko with her personalized machete. Hiroko for a minute thought it was Hinata until he recognized the clothing was different.
"So I finally get to meet the daughter, Shinata I presume? Daddies little girl come to rescue her father? You should've stayed hidden in the shadows and let my destiny be revealed to you. It's finally over, the Uzumaki clan is no more, except your fate and embrace your last precious minutes on this planet" said Hiroko.
Shinata never said a word; she quickly attacked to protect her father. She used her sword with great skills making Hiroko back off from his attack. Shinata threw her sword at Hiroko hoping to decapitate him, he dodged the blade coming toward him, Shinata used taijutsu to try and defeat him. As both fought, they realized they were equal in hand-to-hand combat. Hiroko was surprised he had always heard the youngest one was the most untalented one of the five siblings. But she was fighting him to a standstill. He quickly grabbed Shinata by her wrist and grabbed her with his free arm by her neck, he began to choke her and then he stopped. He let her go and walked back away from her, he relies someone from Nara clan was involved.
"I should've known it was you Shikamaru I cannot see you but I know it's you. So loyal to the Hokage, I wish I had that type of loyalty. All I get are the retarded ones that can barely say their own name but if I had someone like you I would be King of all five nations. Suffice to say you die as well this day" said Hiroko.
Hiroko focused on his chakra and steadily started to move from Shikamaru's shadow manipulation and broke completely free. Shikamaru in all his life had never heard of anyone being able to break it from brute strength and chakra. Naruto, Shikamaru and Shinata could not believe the power of this man. As Shikamaru gave a nod to attack Hiroko simultaneously, as each one threw repeated blows toward Hiroko, he deflected each and every attack and countered their every move. As each one felt the blows, they backed up hurt and almost broken down. Sakura had heard the explosion and the fighting and rushed to see if she could be of assistance. Naruto was the first to rise and face Hiroko, Hiroko stared at Naruto.
"I want you to see this Naruto; this will be your end" as Hiroko smiled.
Hiroko formed Rasengan in his hand; Naruto could not believe his eyes. He learned Jiraiya and his father signature move. Hiroko charged at Naruto full blast hoping to finish him off. As he was about to connect Hinata jumped in front of Naruto and was hit by the Rasengan. Hinata quickly grabbed Hiroko's wrist and held him, Naruto formed his own Rasengan and struck Hiroko in the chest sending him flying backwards and forced him into a wall.
"Naruto, I love you" as she held onto him. He did not know if those were her last word.
Sakura came and help Naruto lay her down, Sakura could tell that this was a fatal blow it she did not perform quickly. Naruto's rage rose to such a degree he formed six Kyuubi tails. Shinata seeing this, rush to her father to calm him down. As she grabbed him from the back she began to speak.
"Dad there is still a way to end this, don't use that power you will lose control. I know that you and the Fox have an understanding but when you're like this you are irrational and not fully comprehending the situation. To save the life of my mother and your wife, I need the help of my father. Help me defeat Hiroko, I have a plan.
Naruto saw the eyes of his daughter and started to revert back to his normal self.
"For what he has done, he dies" screamed Naruto at the top of his lungs.
