twilightserius: yup x3
thor94: thanks. And I can agree. But then again, the Shirugan was created by the gods and goddesses themselves... And you guessed right on the Obito's master thingy (you'll probably hate me with how I'm gonna end the story, lol). x3
Chapter 31: Naruto Uzumaki
He was pissed at himself and his self. Mad. Angry. Enraged.
His plan was going into motion. He was going to avenge his student against himself.
"Naruto Uzumaki..." he snarled under his breath. "I die when you die and you die when I die... Either way, we are both dead man's... Say good bye..."
Naruto sucked in a deep, shaky breath; rubbing the sticky and warm liquid off of his hands. He wasn't a fan of blood. That was the last thing he saw before he went blind and he has never forgotten it since that day sixteen years ago.
Kit, someone is coming. Kurama warned. He has the Shirugan, too. Be careful. Those eyes are very deadly.
Yeah. I know. Naruto deadpanned. He looked over his shoulder, and saw an outline of deep amethyst—his color. What...? Who is he? This can't be a coincidence. I have never seen two colors in two persons' soul.
The newcomer started clapping slowly. But you could just tell that he was absolutely pissed. "Hello, Naruto. Nice to finally meet you."
His blind yellow eyes narrowed. "Who are you? And how do you know my name?"
Naruto's question was completely ignored, though.
"I watched you grow up." His blue eyes softened a little bit. "No...I watched me grow up...just in a different fashion."
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked. He turned all the way around, exposing his blood-stained Akatsuki cloak. "Don't ignore my question."
"My name..." he started, "...is Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto's eyes widened. "That is my name."
"That is also my name." 'Naruto' sighed, shoulders shrugging. "I also have the Shirugan. Specifically Amaterusa's Shirugan. I unlocked it two or so decades ago, and mastered it a decade later. Amaterusa visited me herself, and gave me the power of time travel. Although I could only use it twice, I used it anyway."
"But...why?"
"In my time line, there was a Fourth Shinobi War; between Obito and Madara and the five great nations. Many of our friends and family died..." The older Naruto's voice trailed off for a second. "I...wanted to change everything. I wanted to save Kaka sensei from the pain of facing Obito. So I took the boy in as a student. I've come to really care for him. Who knew that he would die to my hand...again?"
Naruto's yellow eyes narrowed. "And how do I know you are not lying, Naruto?" He found it awfully odd to be referring to someone else with his own name.
"You would know. The Shirugan can tell. Especially the Oracle's Shirugan." Suddenly, his chakra flared; he activated Amaterusa's Shirugan. His iris turned orange and his pupil turned into an X. "Although I know I am going to die when you die, I am more than willing to avenge Obito. Funny, really; I'm getting revenge on me."
Naruto gave his older self a skeptical look. "What do you mean 'I am going to die when you die'?"
"It means if you die, I die. And if I die, you die," Naruto stated. "This will be suicide, but it will be way worth it..."
Naruto's blind yellow eyes widened. He is going to kill me...?
Not on my watch. Kurama growled.
"Pay attention. You might just lose 'sight' of me." The older Naruto smirked in amusement upon seeing his younger self glaring in annoyance.
Suddenly, both disappeared in a yellow flash, both wielding three-pronged kunai and both staying as calm as possible.
So this version of me knows Hiraishin, too. Naruto thought. I guess that's how Obito knows it; this Naruto taught it to him.
The older Naruto stretched out his free, left hand; forming a Rasengan. He added the wind nature to it, a high pitched sound filling the air. The younger Naruto cringed, his ears ringing.
"Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!"
Older Naruto threw it at his younger, blind self; who ducked and jumped down out of the way. The older Naruto's orange eyes narrowed, landing back down clumsily on the slanted and distorted hill of the crater.
My younger self is a bit more skilled than your average blind gaki. The older Naruto noted. This might just be the greatest fight of Konohagakure no Sato... He grinned. I might have some real fun!
Older Naruto ran forward, aiming his three-pronged kunai at younger Naruto. "Show me what'cha got, 'Naruto'!"
The younger Naruto narrowed his eyes. "And I will!"
Older Naruto grinned again. He performed the horse, ram, dog and snake hand seals. "Shirugan: Yake no Kaze [1]!" Suddenly, the air around the two heated up to two hundred fifty degrees.
I can't use my Hyouton... Naruto thought. Dammit.
Younger Naruto performed the dog and rat hand seals. "Shirugan: Kamiten no Katana [2]!" He stretced out his right arm, a two foot long streak of blue forming. It looked like a katana's outline; even the hand had the diamond designs.
Older Naruto used the ram hand seal. "Raiton: Kuropansa [3]!" Black lightning sparked, and a large panther was in front of him; it roared, running forward at blurring speeds.
The younger Naruto quickly used the tiger, ox, dog, hare and snake hand seals. "Fuuton: Daitoppa!" A strong gust of wind struck down the panther, making it disperse.
While the younger blonde was distracted, his older and future self performed the ram and snake hand seals. "Kinton: Taiyrou Satsujin Kyoukai [4]!" He spat out thousands and thousands of sebon towards younger Naruto, infusing them with his chakra to make them go three times faster.
The young Naruto was barely able to react; he only got away with a shallow gash on his upper right arm. But it didn't stop there. It kept going—following Naruto as he ran around. It left a trail of senbon, dust, ash and crusted blood flying everywhere.
Finally, the older Naruto ceased the attack; but he performed the ram and snake hand seals again. "Kinton: Taiyrou Satsujin Kyoukai!" Once again, a streak of thousands and thousands of senbon was spat out, trailing after Naruto as the younger blonde ran around.
Having enough, said blonde charged towards his older self, blocking and striking down any senbon with his Kamiten no Katana.
The older Naruto's orange eyes narrowed, ceasing the technique once again. He performed the snake, rat, monkey and tiger hand seals. "Shirugan: Shi Suto!" His arms spread out, orange slashes of Shirugan chakra aiming for his younger dopplegaunger.
Naruto grunted in surprise as the arched slashes scratched his cheeks and arms. He jumped back, feeling blood drip from his wounds.
Both of them narrowed their eyes. We're on even ground...
[1] "Shirugan: Yake no Kaze"; translation: "A knowing eye: Scorching Wind". This technique allows the user of Amaterusa's Shirugan to manipulate the humidity in the air, either sucking it dry or making it drop to almost zero.
[2] "Shirugan: Kamiten no Katana"; translation: "A knowing eye: God's Heavenly Sword". The user will stretch out either their left or right hand and gather nature chakra as well as their own Shirugan chakra; the sword will look exactly like a katana, only a solid blue.
[3] "Raiton: Kuropansa"; translation: "Lightning Release: Black-Spotted Difference". After generating black lightning from their body which takes the form of a panther, the user can manipulate it to affect multiple victims at once by electrocuting them.
[4] "Kinton: Taiyrou Satsujin Kyoukai"; translation: "Metal Release: Mass Murder of Society". The user will generate a large amount of senbon in their mouth; upon launch, several hundred thousand senbon are unleashed, decimating any nearby opponents. *NOTE THAT I DO NOT OWN THIS TECHNIQUE*
I was lazing all day. So I didn't get much done...
Anyways, I will be referring to Obito's master as "older Naruto" and the current Naruto "younger Naruto".
Peace! :3
