I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.


Rabbit Goddess

Ryuu stared at Kaguya in fear. She was about as tall as the upper half of his normal Susanoo. Her hair fanned out behind her as she floated, forming a massive disk of hair, except the two tentacles that held Naruto and Sasuke. After a moment, the hair hurled Naruto and Sasuke into the ground before more shot toward them. Sasuke, being closer, formed a Chidori, dodging and cutting through the hair rapidly, though it regrew almost as fast as he could cut it. Finally, he leapt at Kaguya, driving his Chidori straight into a tentacle of hair, drilling his way through for a moment until his Chidori faded. The hair slammed into him, hard, launching him away seconds before hair reached Naruto, smashing him away as well. Both crashed into the base of the tree, struggling to stand as Kaguya floated toward them, hair reaching backward double in length what she was tall.

As she passed Ryuu and the others, the sheer level of chakra she had made them all tense, unable to move. She passed slowly, activating her Byakugan as she watched Naruto and Sasuke try to stand, completely ignoring the others.

"What...is your purpose?" Kakashi asked.

"Ninshu...no," Kaguya said. "You said shinobi. There is no point in discussing the world with those who continue to corrupt chakra. They could not understand its true meaning. This whole world, it is my precious nursery. Let's not fight."

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged confused looks before looking back at Kaguya, both looking like they thought she was crazy.

"Here that is," Kaguya continued.

A split second later, they were somewhere completely different. Like a different dimension. One where the ground was lava, the sky was the inside of a cavern, and it was so hot it hurt to breathe.

"I shall erase you all here!" Kaguya said, spreading her arms.

They were falling. They had appeared in the air, by the grace of God, but now they were falling. Ryuu formed his Susanoo, catching Kakashi, Sakura, and Hinata inside it, then reached out its hand, catching Obito's body and pulling him inside, planning to have Naruto revive him later. Ryuu looked over at Naruto and Sasuke to see Sasuke had summoned a giant hawk and was riding on top of it while it carried Naruto in its feet by the shoulders. After a moment, Naruto climbed up to the bird's back as well and Ryuu turned to look at Kaguya, as she turned toward Sasuke and Naruto. In the distance, Sasuke's abandoned sword fell, landing in the lava and being melted away instantly.

"Much hotter than normal lava too," Ryuu noted. "Guess I know where we're not going."

"What now?" Hinata asked.

"Tobi, do you think you can handle my speed?" Ryuu asked.

"Yes," Tobi replied. "Though, I'm not sure even your speed will be enough."

"Probably not," Ryuu agreed.

Suddenly, Kaguya's hair reached around her, beginning to shoot at Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke formed his Susanoo's hand, shielding them from the hair. However, a moment later, two hair spikes hit the hawk in the wing, hitting chakra points. The hawk began to fall, one wing not working. Sasuke began to try to form his Susanoo, but realized there was a spike in his arm as well. Ryuu flew forward to catch them but before he could, Naruto was suddenly floating, and caught the others with Chakra Hands. The hawk disappeared and Naruto grinned. Ryuu reached them and pulled them into his Susanoo where Hinata pulled the spike out of Sasuke's arm and corrected his chakra flow for him.

"Thank you," Sasuke said, turning back to Kaguya. "This may be problematic."

Kaguya glared at them before flying forward, a massive glowing white chakra arm forming and flying at them as a fist. Naruto shot out of the Susanoo, throwing a punch of his own back. The two arm crashed into each other, the point of impact lighting up blindingly as they began to push against each other. Whatever structure they were in began to shake and the lava below them began to boil and roll. Suddenly, it wasn't one hand pushing against each other. They were both forming countless fists that would throw a punch, hit one of the other fists, and explode then reform and do it again. For a moment, it seemed even. Then, Kaguya hit Naruto, launching him, and continued as if nothing had happened, no change in her facial expression. Ryuu growled in annoyance, his Susanoo forming a Magatama. Then, it hurled it at Kaguya. She turned her head to him, unimpressed, but simply tilted her head, the magatama missing by an inch. It sailed over her head and then, suddenly, it faded, the kunai it had had inside of it beginning to fall. Then, Sasuke was in its place, the kunai appearing in Ryuu's Susanoo again, Kakashi taking it back.

Sasuke formed his perfect Susanoo, drawing both swords and slashing at Kaguya. However, before he could het her, she raised her hands, the blades of the swords melting before the swords themselves exploded, launching Sasuke through the air. Ryuu swore, barely able to keep his Susanoo from being thrown by the concussion as well. Sasuke began to fall toward the lava but before he could hit, he swapped places with one of Naruto's black spheres, stopping Naruto from spinning through the air and then catching his ankle. The sphere he switched with returned to Naruto, forming a platform for Sasuke to stand on.

"Problematic is an understatement," Ryuu decided. "This is going to be impossible."

They all stared at the massive hole blasted in the wall of the structure, revealing the world outside. They were in what seemed to be a volcano, and outside, the world was no different, except that instead of a cavern ceiling, it had a blood red sky filled with smoke. They waited for Kaguya to reappear, but she didn't. Suddenly, no one could move. Ryuu's body felt stiff, as though something was wrapping around every part of it. A long black line appeared in the air behind Naruto and Sasuke, then spread open into a rift in reality. A moment later, Kaguya began to float out of it, Naruto and Sasuke slowly turning, shaking with effort, until they were facing her just as Kaguya rested a hand on each of their chins, tears streaming down her face and not a mark on her from the explosion.

Suddenly, Black Zetsu spread from both sleeves, encasing half of both Naruto and Sasuke, beginning to drain their chakra. Ryuu struggled to move, but he couldn't even activate his ability to create Genjutsu as reality. He couldn't do anything. Except watch. Sasuke and Naruto went rigid, suddenly, seeing something far away. Then, suddenly, Naruto ripped Black Zetsu off of himself.

"You two alone aren't the whole shinobi history!" Naruto shouted, ripping Black Zetsu off of Sasuke as well. "And mothers are supposed to be happy about their sons leaving the nest! That's what being a mom means!"

"Your teenage rebellion continues," Black Zetsu stated as he retracted into Kaguya's sleeves. "Mother is the very progenitor of chakra. You brats can't hope to accomplish anything."

Suddenly, Amaterasu burst to life all over Kaguya. She began to absorb it instantly as Naruto formed a dozen clones. Then, a moment later, the clones were covered in smoke. When the smoke cleared, there were dozens of naked men surrounding Kaguya, who froze. Ryuu blinked once and looked back at Sakura and Hinata, both of whom were scarlet. The difference was, Sakura was seething in rage that Naruto would try such a stupid technique, while Hinata was covering her eyes and Fu, who had been silent up until then, was howling with laughter. Ryuu couldn't help but grin as he turned back around.

"What the hell is that idiot thinking!?" Sakura raged. "Using a stupid move like that! I mean yeah, sure it works on me but there's no way it would work on someone so god-like!"

Just then, the clones all disappeared and Naruto's fist crashed into Kaguya's face, blasting her away.

"IT WORKED!?" Sakura shrieked in rage and disbelief.

Ryuu laughed as Naruto and Sasuke shot toward each other and a clone of Naruto arrived at the Susanoo, passing into it and resting his hand on Obito's chest, channeling chakra into him as he had Guy and Neji and countless others.

"I can revive Fu too, if you want," the clone offered.

"Not yet," Fu said. "In this form, I can survive almost anything during this fight, and I'm like a portable charger for Ryuu when he needs me to be. Revive me after."

The clone nodded just as Obito began to stir. Just as he did, Kaguya appeared between Naruto and Sasuke. However, less than a second before they could seal her, the world changed again. Suddenly, it wasn't to hot to breathe. It was too cold. And Ryuu couldn't move his Susanoo. He looked around. It was trapped inside a massive glacier. As were Naruto and Sasuke, with Kaguya still between them.

"Another dimension?" Ryuu blinked. "This might take a while."

"Can you get us out?" Fu asked.

Ryuu looked toward Kaguya just as a rift appeared beside her, releasing her from the ice. She reappeared, beginning toward them as Black Zetsu extended from her sleeves again. Ryuu growled, shifting to his perfect Susanoo, the increase in size instantly shattering the ice. A moment later, Sasuke used his ability to control his Amaterasu to free himself and Naruto, forcing Kaguya to back away. Then, suddenly, she formed a rift and reached through, her hand grabbing the back of Sasuke's shirt and dragging him backward into the rift, dropping him in a different dimension. Then, she pulled her arm back.

"Oh shit," Ryuu groaned. "I'm going to have to go help Naruto," Ryuu said forming a clone. "Keep them safe."

"Right," Ryuu's clone nodded, forming his regular Susanoo inside of Ryuu's perfect one, which Ryuu released.

Ryuu flew up beside Naruto, just as Naruto finished avoiding a grab from Kaguya and Kaguya glared at them.

"Bad time Ryuu," Naruto growled.

"I'm helping you," Ryuu said flatly. "You'll be thankful."

Just then, glaciers began to collapse, crashing down hard and fast. Then, an entire mountain collapsed in seconds. A wave of sand and ice flew toward them. Ryuu swore, forming his Susanoo around them just as they were hit, the concussion hurling the Susanoo away with ease.

"What the hell?" Naruto shouted over the roar of the wind.

"No idea!" Ryuu shouted back.

Finally, it ended and they landed, the Susanoo fading.

"The hell?" Naruto sighed.

Ryuu opened his mouth to respond but instead, both rocketed skyward, a wall of ice spikes exploding out of the ground at them, the two of them barely clearing the swipe. Then, just as they stopped, more exploded upward at them. They dodged and avoided it constantly, doing their best not to get skewered.

"This is getting old!" Ryuu shouted, forming his Susanoo's arm and throwing a Yasaka Magatama at the wall of ice. It exploded against it but did no obvious damage. "Damn it!"

"She's fused with nature!" Naruto shouted just as two walls of ice spikes crashed together, only narrowly missing them and trapping them both in between the spikes. "Shit!"

He pounded lightly on the spikes, making it look like he was trying to get free. Ryuu, who was currently trapped so that only his head was visible and able to move, didn't bother. He obviously wasn't going anywhere. Finally, a rift opened and Kaguya began to exit, returning for Naruto's chakra.

"Ready?" Ryuu asked.

"Yeah," Naruto replied, still pretending to struggle.
