I didn't like this ending, so I rewrote it! I love when dreams give you an answer, not a problem! lol

Naruto

Sasuke watched as the volatile chakra flew out of the boy in front of him; as his eyes turned into empty pools of red rage. He had to be quick to transform into his cursed seal state and get out of the firing line. He was, however, not so lucky, as the chakra took form and launched itself at him. Hate and malice surrounded him as he was wrapped in a hand of burning Kyuubi chakra that flung him into the distance.

As he stood up from the rubble he had become encased in, he watched as the corpse was fairing no better. His wings burned from the toxicity of the chakra he'd endured, bringing a grimace to his face. What did the Dobe think he was doing, losing control at a time like this? Then again, he was as weak minded as he was physically. Pathetic.

He walked the short distance to where the sword had landed and freed it from the earth, channelling chakra into it and running toward the duelling pair. He let a mad grin set about his face as Naruto grabbed onto his enemy; he could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

However, Pein let out a pulse, repelling both himself and Naruto. Once again, he sheathed his sword in the ground below him and held on for the sake of his life. He just had to wait this out and then he could run his Katana through that nuisance and get back to emotionally torturing his unworthy adversary.

Naruto, it seemed, was playing his trick; but instead of one object in the ground, that had just flown out, with him attached, there were four blazing tails stuck fast into the earth. With a roar, chakra began gathering around the mouth of the fox cloak; black chakra, and blue, forming a ball of great proportion.

Sasuke sent chakra to his feet as they happened upon the base of a tree that had once been; the roots trying so desperately to stay where they had been for the past century. At this angle, Sasuke was leaning against the force, allowing him better resistance, as his wings were positioned to streamline him through the force. He gathered chakra around himself in his evolved state of the Chidori, as he noticed huge rocks flying toward him in succession.

For him, it was so easy to cut through and eliminate the scraps of dirt, but he noticed how Naruto was pummelled by them. It got to the point where there wasn't any Naruto, if you could still call it that, to see. All there was, was earth and rocks piled high – until it all exploded away. Sasuke guessed whatever jutsu Naruto was previously doing, had literally just blown up in his face. He smirked. The Dobe.

Though, when the rubble cleared, that smirk was quick to fade. Naruto now sported bones and six tails – and he could fire balls of red chakra with no problem. The onslaught over, Sasuke released his grip and forced repelling chakra into his feet, to speed up his accent toward Pein. However, the Usuratonkachi launched his own attack; with no concept of who was his enemy. If Sasuke had the ability or opportunity to go into Naruto's mind in this state of his, he would. Except, there was nothing left of Naruto to connect to.

Pein was stricken with a ball of chakra and stricken across the chest with a follow up swipe of a chakra tail. Because of Sasuke's Sharingan, from this distance, he could navigate through the oncoming slaughter of mindless madness. If the area wasn't already destroyed by now, it certainly would have been.

With Pein slumped and out of the way, Naruto set his targets on him alone. Possibly because he was the only one still moving. A mix of his speed and cursed seal kept him out of immediate danger, even though he caught a few close calls with his wings steadily becoming more burnt. He forced his electric current out to attack the former blonde; pouring his strength into it as he noosed the younger's neck. But nothing happened.

All of a sudden, he felt a tug toward the distance. There was a ball forming in the sky, pulling everything toward it. Sasuke faulted. Did he continue taming the beast, fight gravity itself or flee out of this phenomenon's range? Before he could contemplate a choice, Naruto had evaded the strike of his sword and ran closer to the gathering mass; or more specifically, the man below it, controlling it.

Before Naruto could reach him, the ground under him broke away and rose, taking the Jinchuriki with it. Jumping from the rock, he was hit with one after another, to where he was eventually brought to the forming planetary body. The Kyuubi balls of chakra were firing out, but there was too much debris for the lone occupier of that mass to battle. Especially when all it was running off of was instinct.

Sasuke was quick to summon Manda. The giant, egotistical snake demanded sacrifices before the Uchiha took over its mind with his Sharingan and forced it to burrow deep underground with him safely inside. By watching the ordeal with Naruto, he was aware that the technique Pein was using relied solely on the exposed surface of the earth. Of course, that did leave him blind to the events that were about to transpire.

Up in the sky, the Kyuubi's skinless head shot out, bringing forth a most painful roar; almost as if he was broken.

Kyuubi wouldn't like to say he was panicking, but truthfully, that was exactly what he was doing. Everything was going wrong. First, Naruto may have found a way to strengthen the seal, which meant he might not escape during childbirth. Second, his plan to integrate himself as one of the children was failing, not only because of Naruto's chakra control, but also because it seems, he'd just end up stuck inside some other brat of a child while it grows up with ridicule.

Which really fucking pissed him off, by the way, because he wanted to rip their bastarding heads off, but couldn't when trapped inside one so young, with their non-existent chakra pathways and the seal in full strength. After all, he did figure out that was the only way he could make himself cross the barrier from this seal. There was no other way of clinging to another life form than by a stronger seal. And even that might rip his chakra in two.

Of course, the thing that really, really scared him, was that Naruto had lost it. And he meant completely flipped his lid. Here he was, in the sewer with him, laying down, holding onto his stomach and mumbling stupid things like 'it hurts' and 'help me' and 'I don't know what to do'. It was pathetic. It was frightening. Right now, none of them were in control; chakra was just acting wildly. Something had to change.

"What should I do?" It was a murmur in a hiss.

"Destroy them. Kill them all. Kill anyone that's ever caused you pain." And that's what Kyuubi would do. That's what Kyuubi wanted to do. He hated that Uchiha. He pretty much hated them all and was glad they were mostly extinct.

"I-I can't." And it was true. Kurama both loathed and admired the boy for his strong will and determination to not kill blindly or take revenge.

Naruto knew, though, that he had lost control. He got angry and now both of their chakras were destabilised and he didn't know how to fix it. He could feel it ripping at his insides, and he was pretty sure the Kyuubi was experiencing something similar, though not as potent.

"Gaki, you have to take this seal off."

"I can't let you escape Kyuubi." And yet, even as he was saying that, he could feel the hold of the seal slipping.

"I may be your only chance, you insolent brat. This way, all you're going to do is end up killing yourself. And me along with you!"

Naruto hesitated, and to be honest, the Bijuu, for once, wasn't entirely sure what he wanted to do. Escape would be a good plan, and yet, he kind of felt responsible for the life in the blonde. Either way, he could figure it out when that seal was gone! He could almost taste it – the scent of the fresh air of freedom long forgotten to his tongue.

"Seriously, you idiot, you better hurry before every one of those kits is dead from the poison of my chakra. This seal is fucking everything up right now."

Something in Naruto's eyes flashed and he moved nearer to the cage. Kurama knew he had him and offered a word or two of encouragement, lifting the kid up to the seal with the chakra that he could still manipulate. Naruto lifted his hand to the seal, the paper feeling rough and imposing on his fingertips. He let them rest there a while before daring to contemplate what he had always been told to not do. His fingers hooked around the corner and…

He wasn't in front of the cage anymore. In fact, he wasn't alone with the Kyuubi anymore. In front of him, imposing and tall, was the fourth Hokage. He was smiling. He was saying something, but the blonde couldn't really hear him from his own pain and wonder at what the hell was going on.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm glad I can see you all grown up, Naruto."

"How…How do you know my name?"

"Of course I know your name, Naruto. After all, I am the one who gave it to you."

"You? Agh!" Naruto gasped, grasping at his stomach and falling to his knees on the floor. He could feel the seal changing. Could feel it morphing. Could feel his skin burning away.

"Naruto!" Minato knelt beside his son and laid him back, before ripping open his shirt and seeing the seal failing, just like it had with his wife. "Shit."

Quickly, he formed the seals he needed to strengthen the blackness that had become his son's stomach. He forced his chakra against that of the chaos he was trying to suppress. So many different chakra signatures, but only two were releasing such giant quantities of wild, uncontrolled chakra. It was harder to reinforce the seal than Minato had thought. At this rate, the small amount of chakra left in him would be depleted and he would disappear.

"I wish I could stay with you longer, my son, but I want you to know how proud I am of you. Of all the things you endured because of my decision, but I need you to understand my choice. It was selfish of me. Your Mother was an Uzumaki. Your chakra is vast. I could only entrust you to keep control of the Kyuubi. Please forgive me."

"Tou-san? I…"

Minato looked up, but Naruto had already passed out.

The next thing Naruto saw when he opened his eyes was the blackness of a shirt. He didn't know how long he had been in his mind, or how long he had been unconscious. He felt defeated. He had lost more so to himself than the enemy he left standing. He turned his face deeper into the material, taking some amount of comfort in the warmth he found there.

"Naruto?"

With a swiftness that screamed at his neck, Naruto looked up to see Itachi staring down on him in all his glory. He was really here, and he wasn't looking at him with anger. The thought lightened his heart so much, that he could almost smile. Until he noticed the concern in those eyes as the man turned his gaze toward that which he was probably observing before Naruto awoke.

Naruto turned to the scene, seeing the dead bodies of his comrades littering the once streets of Konoha. So much death. His breath stopped, as did his heart. He was the cause of this. All of this destruction was because he had a Bijuu in him that he refused to give up; both for his own life and the fate of the world. People who were capable of doing this to another person did not have the right to decide the fate of the world.

"Itachi, I know where the man controlling these dolls is."

"…" Itachi acknowledged Naruto merely by looking at him.

"Please, take me to him."

The sadness and seriousness in Naruto's voice had Itachi following without question. He knew that, potentially, Naruto didn't have a clue as to what he was going to do, but he also knew that right now, he was the only one who could make something in all this blood shed right again. There was something about him that begged for trust; that gave you faith that it was deserved.

Carrying the worn blond in his arms, he jumped from the floating ball in the sky, landing deftly on his feet and running almost silently toward the forest surrounding Konoha. He was fairly certain his foolish little brother had seen him, but he had his hands full with an enemy that Itachi knew was far greater than he was. An advantage for now, but Itachi knew reinforcements were soon to follow.

Sasuke came above ground soon enough to see a howling Kyuubi start to disintegrate, almost as if it was decomposing. It melted away almost as if it had never been there. Sasuke didn't have time to contemplate what was going on as he was thrown once again into the heat of the battle.

Itachi, however did notice, and see that Naruto was slumped over on that rock in the sky. The foolish boy – rushing into a battle that he can't possible have won. Not yet, with his little training and heavy burden. He shunshined to the ground beneath Naruto. He picked up the prone form in his arms and looked down upon him, his face as emotionless as he always tried to portray to the outside world. But to be honest, right now, he could feel so much swimming in his heart.

Unfortunately, the long term problem from spending time with Naruto, was his ability to make a hardened Shinobi start to feel again. And from so long with not knowing those feelings, it was hard to place them. Itachi saw as his brother started to fly upwards toward their location, before he was knocked out of the way with flying debris. Negato's puppet saw him and his eyes narrowed. He knew the man enough to see the hesitation. Negato didn't know why he was here.

In the Akatsuki, Itachi very much got on with the man. They had similar views and opinions and more than once, Itachi had mentioned warnings of the one called 'Tobi'. Itachi knew more than Negato did. But the man was blinded by his own warped goals, and Itachi in too deep and hardened too much to try convincing the man otherwise. He sighed, knowing that a meet between them was inevitable. Naruto twitched; it seemed like he was waking.
