Chapter 26: YOU!
Vallen was pleased. He had mastered the jutsu and was now attacking the Stone. Rocks flew all around as explosive jutsu detonated. He had already sent the others off to fight, with the exception that they could not touch the Hokage. Naruto was his. He walked through the exploding streets, calm and collected. This would be a great moment in history. Today was the day that he secured victory.
He watched his surroundings as ninja after ninja fell before his army. Sand, Leaf, Sound, and Stone ninja all battled. They all died. The sound of their cries was like music to his ears. Vallen had been born for war. He knew that no matter who would fight him, he would win.
As he strode up the street, he noticed a single shinobi standing before him. This shinobi was blonde and had a red robe around them. They also had a large scroll on their back. This man was Naruto Namikaze. Vallen smiled.
"Hokage, so good to see you again. How do you like my art?" he asked, gesturing to the widespread ruin around him.
"You…"
"What's the matter? Can't find the words to say?"
"I'll destroy you here and now! Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Immediately, nine Shadow Clones appeared around Naruto.
"It doesn't matter how many clones you summon, I'll still win."
To Vallen's surprise, however, Naruto began forming more hand signs. As he did, the clones began to glow. Vallen did not like where this was going.
"Forbidden Jutsu: Summoning: One Tail Possession Jutsu!"
One of the shadow clones was then enveloped by chakra. It grew a single tail, and began to surround itself with sand.
"Forbidden Jutsu: Summoning: Two Tail Possession Jutsu!" Naruto continued, and another clone became cloaked in a mysterious chakra. Naruto kept going, infusing each clone with different, sinister chakra. Vallen had never imagined something so powerful. When Naruto finished, each clone was glowing with a massive amount of chakra. Also, the clones each resembled a giant beast.
"This is my ultimate jutsu," said Naruto. "Using this jutsu, I summon the powers of the nine tailed beasts and fuse them with my clones. I call it The Nine Paths of Naruto!"
"Very impressive," said Vallen, barely able to keep his composure. "However, I believe that you will find my jutsu much more impressive. "Forbidden Jutsu: Death Reversal Jutsu!"
A large dark portal opened before Vallen, and from the ground rose a large casket. Naruto recognized the writing. Naruto's eyes went wide with shock as the casket opened, revealing Sasuke Uchiha. He was dressed in the same black clothes he had been buried in. They were identical to his clothes during the chunin exam. Vallen stepped over, admiring his jutsu. He held out his palm toward Sasuke, and suddenly it began to glow red.
"Naruto Namikaze, may I introduce my new slave, Sasuke Uchiha!"
"No… It can't be possible… You didn't…."
"I did. Sasuke, open your eyes and show him your lovely Sharingan."
Sasuke did as he was told, and those red eyes activated. Those eyes filled Naruto's mind with long forgotten memories. This would be a fight for the history books.
