Chapter 30: The Shirugan

"So, tell me Naruto...now that they're 'dead', what are you going to do?" Obito questioned smugly. "Rip me apart? Slaughter me? Destroy me?"

Naruto's eyes were wide with shock. When he looked to Tsukiyomi and Yoru, he saw their outline slowly fade away to nothing. He knew what this was; this was dying.

Everyone but Ban and him were dying.

The blonde's fist clenched till they bled. He was pissed. He was sad. He was angry. He wanted to slaughter Obito Uchiha. He wanted to gain revenge. He wanted to drawl on the Kyuubi's power. But he knew that he would be playing right into Obito's hands. If he did, then everyone's death will be in vein.

"Yes...I will rip you apart. I will slaughter you. I will destroy you," Naruto hissed. He closed his eyes, teeth gritting. "But I will not use Kurama's power. If I did, everything would be in vein. Everyone would have died for nothing."

Obito smirked. "How noble."

Naruto's eyes snapped open, revealing yellow eyes with an X as a pupil. "Die!"

The Uchiha's eyes widened in shock. What? He has the Shirugan?! Which one is this? It's not purple or orange like mine and master's... He lifted his dual Akuken's, swiping to attack.

However, Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash; reappearing behind the Uchiha and swiping his three-pronged kunai.

What?!

Blood sprayed onto the slanted and half burnt hill of the crater, Obito stumbling as Naruto inflicted a slash across his shoulder blades. He held himself up with his swords, seeing black and white spots from the wound. He slowly stood up, using Chiyu no Chikara to heal up the slash. A few seconds later, it was nothing but a bloody scar.

"How...how do you have the Shirugan?" Obito snarled. "How?!"

"Izanami gave it to me," Naruto pointed out. "Just as she did to you, Obito."

His eyes narrowed. "When?"

"Remember when I went missing during my training session on Hiraishin?" Naruto questioned. "I teleported into outer space, and froze to death. I met Izanami and Izanagi. They granted me the Oracle's Shirugan."

Blue eye's narrowed. I actually expected the Oracle to visit him herself. I guess that old crone's curse made her crippled... Izanami and Izanagi visited him themselves. Man, I am one lucky bastard, aren't I...?

Obito would use an unpredictable move; Naruto would foresee and stop him from using it. Obito would use another unpredictable move. Naruto would still foresee it and stop him.

It's like he can see into the future... Obito silently noted. Is this the power of the Oracle's Shirugan? The power to see and predict the future?

Naruto used the ram, dog and horse hand seals. "Shirugan: Shinku Fushichou [1]!" He swiped his three-pronged kunai, three red flaming phoenix alike birds racing towards Obito in blurs of a shade of crimson.

Obito cut through them, but they duplicated into six birds. "Hn." He performed the snake, rat, monkey and tiger hand seals. "Shirugan: Shi Suto [2]!" He spread out his arms, stabbing the two Akuken's into the ground. Purple slashes shot out from underneath his sleeve, cutting the birds into a million pieces.

But they didn't stop there; the arched purple blades of dead energy raced towards Naruto.

The blonde performed the tiger, hare, boar and dog hand seals. "Doton: Doryuuheki [3]!" A thick wall of earth rose up in front of him. He put his hands on the dirt. "Shirugan: Kyuukyoku no Bouei [4]." There was a flash of yellow, and the dead energy slashes dispersed; absorbed into the wall of earth.

Obito glared, grabbing bother Akuken's. He threw shuriken at the wall of mud, but they melted back to metal within a second. "Hn, smart bastard. He's heating up the area around him to prevent me from approaching him. No matter..."

But his voice trailed off when Naruto's chakra coils faded away. The blonde was once again using nature chakra.

Dammit. Obito silently cursed. He looked around, narrowing his eyes in interest when the earth started to soften like sand. Not this again...

Naruto dug his way to straight underneath Obito. He formed the dog hand seal, and made his way up to the Uchiha. His finger poked out from the earth, and he made contact with his shinobi sandal.

There, I finally got him marked with Hiraishin's formula... Naruto thought. I can't believe it took me almost three years just to do that...

Che, stupid fleshbag. Kurama muttered.

Now is not the time, fluffy. Naruto shot back.

Obito felt something touch his foot, and he looked down. There was a hole in the ground next to his foot; his limb was marked now, and the only way to get rid of it would be to remove it.

Fuck. Obito mentally shouted. He stomped his foot onto the ground, making the earth underneath it to crumble.

Naruto used the Hiraishin to dodge it, reappearing in front of Obito. He punched the masked Uchiha, hearing a loud crack of the mask finally breaking.

Obito struggled up, ripping off the white mask. "I admit that you are smart and strong...especially with that newly found Shirugan of yours. I am greatly interested in those eyes of yours. But did you know, that this doujutsu is made from pure evil? Rumor has it the god's and goddess's created it to destroy."

"Yuu, Yoroi, Katsu and Juuro used it to create an era of peace," Naruto stated stoically. "They were the grand children of the Sage of Six Paths; sons and daughter of Indra and Ashura. Those two brothers fought for decades, fighting over who would be the heir. So it doesn't always have to be for destruction."

"Evil is evil, good is good," Obito shot back. He shot a glare at the Uzumaki. "You can try and change it, but no matter what, the Shirugan will always be evil at the core."

Naruto glared. "I don't give a shit, and I have had enough of your shit. I don't care if it's evil or not; I will use it for good. I will kill you, and I will kill your master!" He formed a Rasengan in his right hand. "Fucking die, you little ass!"

Obito remained stoic, staying in place. Naruto charged at the Uchiha in a blur of speed. He aimed his Rasengan to his chest, but was blocked by the two Akuken's. However, the swords broke; shattered to pieces and left Obito defenseless.

Obito's eyes widened. He tried to gather up nature energy. The Uchiha was halfway done, but was interrupted when he was half intagible.

Naruto's Rasengan was inside of his gut.

"You little prick..." Obito snarled.

Suddenly, the Rasengan exploded, and so did Obito's abdomen. Blood flew everywhere, and the Uchiha was left in two pieces.

It was nice knowing you...Obito... Naruto thought. Rest in peace...

Blue eyes widened in shock. "N-no...w-way... He's...dead... No matter what I tried, and no matter what I did...Obito Uchiha still dies...and to my hands..." Where do I go wrong...?

[1] "Shirugan: Shinku Fushichou"; translation: "A knowing eye: Crimson Phoenix". In which the user will swipe an object after inserting Shirugan chakra into that weapon/limb/etc. Depending on the power of the user and mastery of Shirugan, the user can shoot out one, two or even three mini crimson colored phoenix's.

[2] "Shirugan: Shi Suto"; translation: "A knowing eye: Deadly Slash". Similar to Kaze no Yaiba. The user will stretch out their arms, and cover a thin layer of Shirugan chakra over their arms or sometimes even their torso/leg or any other kind of limb. Thin, arched blades of dead energy will shoot at intended target.

[3] "Doton: Doryuuheki"; translation: "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall". The user can either manipulate the already existing earth into making a wall of durable and chakra-fused mud.

[4] "Shirugan: Kyuukyokuu no Bouei"; translation: "A knowing eye: Ultimate Defense". This technique cannot be performed unless the user of the Oracle's Shirugan is master one hundred percent. The user will make contact with any kind of NATURAL material; earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, clouds, trees, etc. They will, then, create a barrier of either heat, wind, bedrock, ice, etc. to make their opponent keep their distance. Due to it being natural material, people with nature chakra can't approach without getting severely injured or possibly even get themselves killed.

I use the google translator. I own all Shirugan techniques, btw.

Yes, Obito dies. *gasps* nuu TT^^TT...is it too bloody or gory? Yes? No? Maybe? Probably? Most likely? Idk, I'm tired. It's 2:30am...why am I even up?

Oh, yes, that reminds me: Obito made the genjutsu strong enough to make even Naruto think that everyone has died. And he can see the outline of souls. Is that too OP?

Peace! :3
