Still don't own Naruto
Chapter 92: Accelerated Regeneration
Naruto caught up with the queen as she was helping the last of the men who had been trapped underground up to the surface.
"Sara how are we going, did you get everyone out?" Naruto asked, jumping out of the underground factory with ease.
"Yes I think so. Did you finish of... him?" Sara replied not knowing what to call the man she once thought of as a holy man.
"Uh not exactly, he is still sorta alive, at least I think he is. He's mostly puppet now" Naruto said.
There was a loud cracking noise beneath the pair and Naruto had to act quick grabbing Sara and jumping out of the way just as the gargantuan form of Mukada burst out from the ground.
"Go catch up to the queen he says, we will take care of Mukada he says. I am starting to think my father was not as brilliant as they say" Naruto sighed.
"Naruto what should we do?" Sara asked while Naruto blocked her from the massive puppet form of Mukada.
"Take the others and run, I will hold him off" Naruto replied.
"But..." she stammered.
"No buts. You are the queen, it is your responsibility to make sure your people are safe" Naruto said.
"I understand... Good luck Naruto" Sara said determination returning to her voice. She turned to face her people who were staring in awe of the massive creature before them. "Everyone follow me, we are going to the central tower"
after a brief discussion the crowd agreed to trust Sara and they took off leaving Naruto to stare down Mukada.
"Where do you think you're going?" Mukada called out and destroyed a building to clear a path for him to follow Sara and the others.
"You aren't going anywhere. Your opponent is me!" Naruto said jumping up onto a tall building so he was at eye level with the golem.
"Don't interfere, Konoha brat!" Mukada yelled and moved one of his large fists to crush Naruto but he was much too fast for Mukada and jumped away effortlessly. The building on the other hand was not so lucky and came crashing down
.
Mukada then saw an opening to go after the civilians and completely ignored Naruto. As he landed on another tower.
"Despite the fact that we pose more of a threat physically and skill wise he is still intent on going after Sara" Naruto said, as his father landed beside him.
"There must be a reason for that. I need you to protect Sara just a little longer. Oh and I just remembered. I don't even know your name" Minato said.
"It's Naruto" the younger blond replied.
"Naruto huh, I like that. Well Naruto, do you think you can protect Sara for just a while longer, we have a plan" Minato said a warm smile gracing his face.
"Don't worry, I wont let you down" Naruto replied.
"I'm counting on you" Minato said before leaping away to meet up with Choza and Shibi.
Naruto took off and arrived just in time to see Mukada begin to control Sara like a puppet, forcing her to choke herself.
Naruto took out a kunai and flung it down to the ground. It split the thin chakra wire perfectly and Naruto flashed behind to catch the queen as she fell.
"Sara, believe me, you are not a puppet princess. Here take this! Do what you need to do" Naruto said handing her the kunai he had used to flash down and save her again.
Sara could just stare at Naruto dumbly before he left to intercept Mukada. She then held the kunai close to her chest before standing. 'What I need to do?... that's it!' she thought.
While this was going on Naruto was doing his best to hold Mukada off without giving away to much of his skill. Looking around for a way to stall the giant puppet he saw above him was a large bridge connecting two separate towers. Creating a few shadow clones he sent them to destroy the bridge while he acted as a distraction. This had mixed results however. It may have knocked Mukada down, but it still did little in the way of slowing him down.
'Looks like I have no choice. I am going to need to get serious' Naruto thought, activating a senjutsu seal before he entered sage mode.
Naruto charged forward and despite it being a difficult task yanked Mukada off the ground and threw him through a nearby tower.
It was at that moment Minato and the others arrived. "Amazing... great job Naruto" Minato said admiring Naruto's strength.
"Naruto! I can stop the source of the Ryuumyaku and protect the people! Anrozukan can't withstand the power of the Ryuumyaku at the garden where you and I fist met, so he could not go there!" Sara called. And she took Naruto's kunai and cut away at her robes leaving her in a black tank top and her dress which she also cut to shorten above her knees.
"That must be why Mukada is still after her. He knows that she can stop him" Minato said.
"I will take all of the people there so they will be safe" Sara said before gathering the large crowd and heading into the tower.
"I will not let you live!" came the voice of Mukada who was struggling out of the rubble that Naruto had thrown him into.
"Sara go now! Don't give up what ever you do" Naruto said.
"Don't worry, I wont give up" Sara assured the young jinchuuriki.
"Now we can deal with this freak" Naruto said.
"No allow us to deal with Mukada" Choza said.
"Yes it would be better if we split up" Shibi said.
"But you can't be serious if we fight together we will have a better chance of defeating him" Naruto said. 'And there will be less of chance that I will have to use any more power' he added in an after thought.
"Trust us, we wont loose so easily" Choza said.
"They're right. Common Naruto let's go" Minato said. Naruto just shrugged and agreed to follow.
They were all running down a large spiral staircase when a small swarm of beetles came to intercept them.
"It appears that Mukada has absorbed the power of the Ryuumyaku. If we don't seal the power of the Ryuumyaku away, his chakra will continue to increase" Minato said.
"Even so, he must have a weakness" Naruto said.
"I know, it will just be a matter of finding out what that is" Minato replied.
The moment Minato had finished talking there was a large shock wave that rattled the tower and large pieces of the wall fell to the bottom. Soon the form of Mukada appeared, he had grown even more and now had a large tail that resembled that of a centipede.
"That's it I have had enough of you!" Naruto said creating a clone and he began gathering Fuuton chakra in his hand. "Do me a favor and forget you saw this okay?" Naruto said to his father before jumping up in the air with his clone before completing the jutsu. "Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto yelled launching the spinning disk.
Minato was shocked the the core, this was the completed product of his personal jutsu. Something that he was never able to do.
Mukada saw the jutsu coming and moved his tail in the way to block it. The explosion was massive and it tore away at everything in the radius of the blast. When it cleared however the only damage he had caused was to Mukada's tail and a few scratches in his chest. This proved to be nothing more than a minor nuisance to the puppet master as his body healed itself perfectly as if it had never been damaged.
"Damn it what the hell do I have to do?" Naruto sighed before jumping out of the way from Mukada's reformed tail that was about to impale the blond on a wall. He was refusing to use Kyuubi's chakra in front of his father because that would be as good as producing a banner that told Minato that his wife would die and that Naruto was most likely his son and the next jinchuuriki.
"Naruto you go after Sara, I will hold him off" Minato said still trying to hide the shock from his face of seeing the Rasenshuriken.
"But..." Naruto argued.
"We can't fight him head on, you just showed me that, but I have a way I might be able to find out his weakness, but in case I fail you need to protect Sara" Minato said.
Naruto begrudgingly agreed to go along with his fathers plan and took off leaving Minato to face Mukada alone. Naruto tried to hear what was going on but after the first cry of "Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu" he was out of sight and didn't know what was going on.
Making it to the very bottom of the tower, far underground. Sara and the others were gathered around a large door. "The garden is beyond these stairs, the power of the Ryuumyaku cannot reach us there!" Sara said.
The walls started to shake a little harder and Mukada once more came into view. "Kami he's persistent. Sara you might want to move it" Naruto said.
"Right!" Sara said and she ran up a small set of stairs to a large stone door with a oddly shaped stone handle. "Oh no! The mechanism of the door must have been damaged when the tower collapsed"
Naruto left to go buy Sara some time. Using his speed he dodged Mukada's tail with ease before slamming a rasengan into the large face of the puppet, but once more the damage was minimal and he heals himself.
'Damn it, I completely blow off his tail and he just grows a new on with larger blades. Then I get him with a full powered rasengan in the face and it just regenerates as well. Finding out what his weakness is would be really helpful right about now' Naruto thought jumping back as Mukada shot his massive sharp fingernails out from his hands controlling them with chakra strings.
Naruto dodged the sharp fingernails with ease but then he saw that he was not Mukada's main target. The base of the inner tower was.
"Hey have you forgotten, you're fighting me!" Naruto yelled to try and pull the gargantuan puppet's attention away from the room Naruto knew held Sara and the others.
When Mukada payed him no attention Naruto started to get annoyed. He created a small army of shadow clones to each intercept the large claws that were still destroying the tower.
After a small skirmish Mukada finally became annoyed with the multiple blonds that were disturbing his attack and changed his target to them. That was however easier said than done, despite only being shadow clones they were still much faster than Mukada's puppetry.
Seeing that Mukada was for the time being at least, distracted Naruto left to go check up on Sara and the others.
He arrived at the base of the tower just as Sara exited. "Naruto! I made sure everyone was safe inside the garden. Now I will stop him once and for all" She said determination evident in her eyes.
"I'm counting on you" Naruto said and followed her inside the tower but did not follow her into the sealing room.
Moments after Sara left the wall on the far side of the room collapsed in on itself and Mukada appeared. "You wont be getting any further, I will stop you here" Naruto declared.
"Impudent little brat, my power is endless. You cant defeat me" Mukada taunted.
"Well then, looks like I will just have to fight infinite chakra with infinite chakra then" Naruto said.
"What drivel are you spouting, just die already!" Mukada roared sending a claw via chakra wire to finish Naruto for good.
His plan backfired however when his fingernail was stopped in its tracks by a large clawed hand made of of yellow flame like chakra. "That power again... what are you?" Mukada asked inquisitorially.
"I'm sick of you!" Naruto yelled and shot forward in a flash his fast going right through Mukada's arm tearing it off. Mukada fell to the ground but then a massive burst of purple chakra struck the puppet and his arm grew back as though it had never been damaged.
"Fucking hell!" Naruto whined this time when he attacked he completely removed the head of the creature. But again the same process.
"You are annoying me boy" Mukada said as the mouth of the newly reformed head opened to reveal a large cannon. "Ryuumyaku Dragon Fire!" He roared before shooting a large burst of condensed purple chakra flames at the blond.
Naruto narrowly avoided the attack and landed in the doorway blocking Mukada's path to Sara. 'Looks like I only have one more move I can try" Naruto said as he held both hands out in front of him. Two chakra claws also formed to help.
Black and white chakra began to condense and spin together as Naruto struggled to hold onto the stability of the jutsu. 'Come on... Almost there!' Naruto thought begging the jutsu to stabilize so he could use it. But no luck, the attempted Bijuudama faded into nothing and forced Naruto out of his fox cloak.
"All bark and no bite. What a pathetic child" Mukada taunted.
"Damn it, if only I knew what his weakness was. Where the hell is dad anyway, he was supposed to find that out" Naruto mumbled quietly to himself as he continued to stand his ground against the massive puppet.
'Guess I will try this again' "Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto yelled creating and throwing the large spinning disk.
It looked as though he was going to get a direct hit in the chest. But Mukada moved with great speed to reposition himself and opening his mouth appeared to eat Naruto's jutsu before releasing a shock wave of compressed air towards Naruto who took the hit and was sent flying back through a large set of doors into the very same room he had first set eyes on Mukada back in his time. However it was different now. In this time line the room was a buz with the light of the same purple chakra that Mukada was using.
'This must be the source of his power' Naruto thought as he got to his feet.
"So you're still able to fight despite how much chakra you have used. I must say I am impressed, Konoha brat" Mukada said as he slowly approached.
"I wish I could say the same, you have done nothing but steal power for your own goals, without the Ryuumyaku you are nothing but a pathetic Sasori wannabe" Naruto taunted activating another senjutsu seal.
"Just give up brat!" Mukada said moving to crush Naruto who stood his ground with a senjutsu powered punch ready to counter. He didn't get a chance however as his father appeared beside him and pulled him away.
"What the? Oh it's about time you showed up. No matter how much of a beating I put on this guy he just regenerates" Naruto said.
"I know, but I had something I needed to go get" Minato said.
"You are the fastest man alive! How come it took so long" Naruto said as the pair jumped away from another one of Mukada's strikes.
"Well I had a long way to go" Minato said with a smile. "Anyway, I found out his weakness, there is one point on his body that we have to hit, I will open it up do you think you can hit it?" the elder Namikaze asked.
"No problem, it would be a pleasure to finally get rid of this guy" Naruto said before forming a rasengan.
Then Naruto noticed the rasengan was growing without him adding any extra chakra. "What the hell?" Naruto asked as he observed the jutsu.
"Looks like you still have a few things to learn" Minato said showing his own rasengan that was doing the same thing.
"What is this?" Naruto asked in wonder.
"Similar types of chakra resonate with each other, like for example, that of a father and his son" Minato said causing Naruto's eyes to widen.
"You know?" the younger blond asked.
"How could I not, you look just like me, well other than the shape of your face. Looks like Kushina found her way in somewhere at least" Minato joked.
"But what about the future we shouldn't talk about this" Naruto said.
"It wont matter, the seal I have to use will erase all of our memories of this event once you return" Minato said.
"I see, well we better get to work then" Naruto said slightly saddened that he would forget the fact that he not only got to meet his father but also fight along side him.
"Okay, lets combine our Rasengan for optimum efficiency, it will create a far stronger jutsu. Maybe not as devastating as that Rasenshuriken of yours but it will do the job" Minato said with a smile.
"I thought I told you to forget you saw that" Naruto said with a smile of his own before the two jutsu came together.
"You know, I always hoped that my son would turn out just like you have, so I am glad to know that you will become a fine man" Minato said bfore turning his concentration towards maintaining the jutsu.
A small tear of both joy and sadness rolled out of Naruto's right eye before he too began focusing on the jutsu.
"What is that, you think that you can beat me with that jutsu? How many times have you tried that already. Now witness my ultimate move... Ryuumyaku Super Dragon Fire Jutsu!" Mukada yelled and a large opening formed on the puppets stomach and the purple flame like chakra began to come together. Before he shot a massive beam towards Naruto, Minato.
But they both acted at the same time throwing individual sealed kunai at the same location and warping away together.
"Okay Naruto, I'll open him up, you knock him down" Minato said, leaving the super powered rasengan with Naruto and taking out two of his kunai and flinging them towards Mukada. "Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he yelled causing the two kunai to become two hundred all of which smashed into a small patch just over where his heart should be.
It was at that moment Sara finished sealing off the Ryuumyaku's power. Mukada attempted to regenerate but his healing had greatly slowed due to the lack of constant energy flowing into him.
"Naruto, there! That's his weak point!" Minato yelled. Pointing to a spot where there was a small face of a smaller puppet.
"I see it, don't worry" Naruto replied and kicked off with all his might. Mukada tried his best to stop Naruto's advance by what ever means, but the blond was far too fast for him. "I am going to enjoy this!... Rasengan!" Naruto yelled smashing the super powered ball of chakra into the smaller puppet and blowing a massive hole nearly comparable to that of the Rasenshuriken's damage out of the huge insect like puppet.
"Nooooooooo! I was so close. History would have been mine!" Mukada yelled as he began to fall apart. "No I refuse to believe this is happening! You can all die with me!" the puppet roared and began to makes its way over to the pit full of the Ryuumyaku's power.
"Oh shit. If he falls in this place will erupt" Minato said.
"I'm on it" Naruto replied taking off to intercept the dying Mukada. But he didn't make it in time and Mukada fell. 'No this can't happen I have to stop this' Naruto thought and subconsciously activated his Kyuubi mode before sending a chakra claw to grab Mukada before he hit the purple chakra. And threw him away to safety.
Minato watched the scene with wide eyes and his heart began to break a little, he now recognized the massive chakra spikes he had been feeling, he also knew where he had felt that power before. "Kyuubi" he muttered to himself knowing that if Naruto held the Kyuubi then Kushina must have died shortly after Naruto's birth.
Naruto let his fox cloak drop and formed a Rasenshuriken finishing the large puppet once and for all. And then he realized just what he had done. "Oops" Naruto said sheepishly.
"You could say that. So you're a jinchuuriki then, but I don't recognize that chakra cloak" Minato said.
"Well I cant really understand the different cloak, but yes I am the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi" Naruto admitted sadly.
"But then that means, you never knew your mother" Minato said as tears began to form in his eyes.
"I never knew either of you. You both died the night I was born protecting Konoha from Kyuubi and sealing it into me" Naruto said, he didn't bother to hide it anymore. He already knew his father would have to seal the Ryuumyaku away sending him back to his own time and removing everyone's memory of this ever happening.
"Then who raised you?" Minato asked.
"I was kept in the orphanage but they kicked me out when I was four. Then Jiji Sandaime found me a place to live and looked in on me when ever he could. Jiraiya sensei was needed outside of the village to look out for threats on my life so he couldn't raise me, and I am actually kinda grateful that he didn't. Otherwise I could have turned out to be a pervert" Naruto said trying to liven the mood at the end with a joke.
"I'm so sorry" Minato said sadly.
"Don't be. I may have had it rough when I was a kid, but I have had a good life, it may not be perfect and it is still filled with hardships but because of that I have become strong and made some great friends and there are people I consider to be my family that mean the world to me. I forgave you a long time ago" Naruto said.
"Wait here!" Minato ordered before closing his eyes for a couple of seconds and flashing away leaving a kunai behind.
'Where is he going?' Naruto asked himself but waited never the less.
Minato arrived back about a minute later with someone holding his hand. Naruto's eyes went wide when he saw who it was a Woman with red hair a round face and purple eyes. Someone that Naruto had only seen once before, his mother.
"Minato why did you bring me here! This better be good or I swear you will pay!" Kushina yelled angrily bonking the Namikaze on the head.
"There is someone I want you to meet" Minato said pointing over to where Naruto stood wide eyed and shocked.
Kushina turned and her mouth fell open. "Minato who is that?" she asked her voice trembling.
"That is someone from about twenty years in the future" Minato said.
"The future?" Kushina asked.
"Well seeing as non of us will remember this I can tell you" Minato said before going into a detailed explanation of what had been happening and how Naruto was pulled back through time when Mukada absorbed a Time Space seal that was placed over the Ryuumyaku and that now Mukada was defeated once the seal is returned all memories of this event would be erased.
"So then that means that this boy is" Kushina said choking up from the realization.
"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" Naruto said.
"Our son?" Kushina said, her voice shaking.
"That's right, I wanted you both to meet each other now. Even if you wont remember it" Minato said with a smile, that he was using to hide just how painful the thought of forgetting this encounter and never getting the chance to be able to know his son.
That was all the information Kushina needed before rushing forward and hugging the younger blond. "Like look at you. A strong Konoha jounin just like your father, and like so young too. So tell me how old are you?" She said trying to get everything she wanted to say in one breath which caused both Naruto and Minato to laugh.
"I'm sixteen" Naruto answered.
"So I still have to wait four years before I get to meet you" Kushina moped.
"Yeah I guess that is right" Naruto said as he returned the hug, for the first time in his life since the day he was born, having the physical warmth of a mothers hug. Naruto looked up over his mothers shoulder at Minato and mouthed "Thank you" silently not wanting to spoil the fact that he was able to meet his mother in the flesh with telling her why he hadn't met her.
"Oh I have like so many questions I want to ask you. But like I don't know where to start" Kushina said.
"I'm sorry Kushina, your questions will have to wait until we can meet him for real, I have to send him back to his own time now" Minato said.
"Aw fine, but tell me first, are you happy with your life?" Kushina asked Naruto.
"I'm very happy" Naruto said with a smile before Kushina eventually broke the hug.
"Well looks like I still have a bit of a wait until I can meet you. But I cannot wait for that day" Kushina said backing away.
"It's time Naruto, lets go place the seal" Minato said.
"Yeah okay... Wait Yamato Teichou! I forgot all about him, I don't know where he is" Naruto said.
"I had Kakashi looking for him while we were fighting, that's why it took me so long to catch up with you" Minato said.
"Oh so shouldn't we wait for him to show up?" Naruto asked.
"No need he is here now" Minato said and pointing behind his son to where Kakashi had just landed with a very confused looking Tenzo.
"I found him Minato sensei" Kakashi said with a salute.
"Wow he really has changed a lot huh Yamato Teichou" Naruto said as he observed how stiff and motivated the younger Kakashi was.
"You can say that again, I was half expecting him to take a couple of hours when he showed up" Yamato chuckled.
"I take it you have figured out just where we are?" Naruto said.
"Yeah, I don't really understand it but if it has something to do with seals I probably don't want to have it explained to me" Tenzo replied causing both Naruto and Minato to deflate at not getting the chance to explain how the time space seal that brought them here worked.
"Well all we have to do is replace the seal and we will be sent back to our own time. Nobody will have any recollection of what has happened" Naruto said.
"Wait you're leaving?" Sara said finally coming over to see what everyone was talking about.
"I don't belong here Sara, I need to go back to my own time" Naruto said.
"I don't want you to go! You made me believe in myself, why can't you stay here with me" Sara said.
"I have people who need me, and a fiance who would be very mad if I didn't return home" Naruto said.
"Fiance?" Kushina asked her eyes widening in excitement.
Minato saw this and wanted to cut her off before his wife got into another massive questioning session. "We don't have time to ask all these questions. If Naruto and Yamato stay here the future will change, we need to return the seal and send them back" Minato said.
"But.. but I..." Sara was trying to find the right words to tell Naruto in an attempt to keep him behind.
"Sara, you don't need me, you proved today that you are a great queen and strong enough to lead your people through anything" Naruto said kindly.
Sara didn't know what to say, she didn't want Naruto to leave but also knew that he had his own friends and family to return to.
"Minato sensei, shouldn't we be making notes of this to give to Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked.
"I think this can stay off the record. We don't want to effect the future after all" Minato said.
"But sensei this is something that we might need records of in case it happens again" Kakashi replied.
"Wow I can't believe I have to say this to Kakashi Hatake but you need to relax" Naruto said causing Yamato to chuckle.
"What does that mean!" Kakashi ordered.
"I mean you are nothing like the Kakashi I know" Naruto said.
"What do you mean?" Minato asked.
"Well the Kakashi in our time spends all day reading Jiraiya sensei's perverted books and always shows up to every mission about two hours late" Naruto chuckled.
"I would never do that! You must be thinking of that dobe Obito" Kakashi said indignantly.
"People change, you will find that out soon enough Kakashi sensei" Naruto said and without any other word walked over to the eye of the Ryuumyaku with Minato leaving behind a Kakashi who was grumbling about never becoming like Obito no matter what happens.
"Once I place this seal you will only exist in this time stream for a few seconds, so I am going to take this last chance to say that I am so glad that I got to meet you son. And even though you said it was the day I die, I can't wait to meet you again" Minato said as he finished drawing up the seal matrix and pumping his chakra into it to activate. "You will need to take this back, it doesn't belong in our time" he said returning Naruto's kunai.
"So am I dad, I always wanted to see you fight, you were my hero as I was growing up after all" Naruto said with a smile that didn't leave his face as he faded from existence.
Naruto awoke in the middle of a desert ruins beside Yamato. "Whoa what the hell just happened? I thought we were inside?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know? But what ever happened we don't appear to have been out long" Tenzo replied.
"Lets get back to our mission, it was probably nothing" Naruto said.
They spent the next couple of hours searching the ruins collecting anything that might have been useful to the war effort. Every time Naruto found a puppet or at least part of one he couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen them somewhere before but just shook it off as an uneasy feeling that he got from how freaky the puppets looked.
As the sun began to set Naruto and Yamato decided to call off the search for more parts as they had found all that seemed to be around. As they were leaving the ruins of Rouran however a red haired girl around a year younger than Naruto arrived. She wore a long orange robe with a purple rope belt. She also had something hanging from a string around her shoulder that looked like an old kunai.
"Hello there, I felt a disturbance in the Ryuumyaku, so I came to take a look... My mother was a queen who used to rule this land, Rouran. I do not have the same ability to sense the Ryuumyaku as she has, but if I use this which has come into contact with the Ryuumyaku's power I can feel it" the girl said showing Naruto the blade she had hanging by her side.
Naruto looked at the blade and he was shocked. A three pronged kunai, that must have absorbed some of the Ryuumyaku's chakra when Sara subconsciously channeled her chakra through it. "It's a Hirashin kunai" Naruto said as he looked at it.
"It's my mothers treasure. She said it was handed to her by a hero she fell in love with during a dream" Sara's daughter said.
"Your mother huh" Naruto said, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that he had seen this young girl before but he couldn't place where it had been.
"Yes, Rouran was destroyed during the third shinobi war. But the people all survived, all because of my mother. I will inherit my mothers will and continue to live with our people. I am sorry for disturbing you Konoha ninja, I will be on my way" Sara's daughter said before turning to leave.
"Wait, can I get a closer look at that kunai? I promise nothing will happen to it and it will be returned" Naruto said.
"I suppose that would be alright" she said and she handed the kunai over to Naruto to inspect.
The moment he touched it the seal resonated with his chakra and the markings began to glow. "What the?" Sara's daughter asked. A sentiment shared with Tenzo.
'This is my kunai! Not one of my fathers!' Naruto thought then it all came back to him. The city of Rouran in its prime, Saving Sara as she fell from the tower, meeting his father, defeating Mukada and the conversation he had with his mother. A smile graced his face as he handed the old kunai back to Sara's daughter.
"Thank you for allowing me to inspect that. Here take this" Naruto said taking out one of his other kunai that were still in perfect condition.
"This is... they are the same" Sara's daughter said as she inspected the new kunai.
"Not exactly the same, the older one was my fathers" Naruto lied. "But if you or your mother ever need help, just throw that kunai into the ground, and I will come find you" Naruto said.
"Thank you, I am sure mother will love to hear the fact that I met the son of the man she thought she only met in a dream" the red haired girl said with a proud smile.
Naruto returned the smile with one of his own. "Tell me, has your mother been a good leader for your people?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, everyone loves her, she might not be a queen anymore, but she is still seen as one" she said.
"That's good to know" Naruto said before turning to Tenzo. "Come on Yamato Teichou, we have to get home, I miss Yugi-chan"
"We have only been gone a day" Tenzo said.
"Well a lot can happen in a day" Naruto replied.
End Chapter!
Well there we go, Arc done. I know some people wanted a fight between Naruto and Minato, but it was sorta hard to fit it in, I think I stretched the probability a bit to far when I included Kushina. Anyway hope you enjoyed my take on the Lost tower movie. I will move on with the start of the War from the next chapter.
