In the Forest…
Gaara roared out and lashed with several powerful shuriken made of sand at Naruto who was able to block the attacks with his wind manipulation abilities as he used the wind to form a shield. The shuriken were reduced to sand and Gaara roared out at Naruto.
"COME ON!!! ATTACK ME!! LET'S SEE WHOSE POWER IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER!!!!"
Naruto was more than ready to attack as he moved in with his fist at the ready, his fist was surrounded by a vortex of air, the punch he unleashed to the tree was enough to rip through the tree itself, there on the now decapitated tree was a massive hole where Naruto's punch had struck. Gaara had been able to evade the attack and was now on another branch.
Gaara unleashed a powerful strike from his sand covered hands, the massive limb lashed out at Naruto as the blonde ninja and Dragon Ascendant leaped out of the way of the attack and moved to another tree, Naruto quickly charged right at Gaara, leaping off the tree like a comet and straight at Gaara.
The sand ninja responded by unleashing a massive blast of chakra enhanced air mixed with sand right at the blonde ninja. The attack struck Naruto and forced him back to the tree with a hard landing, the tree cracked them the impact and Gaara unleashed his other sand arm. Naruto recovered and lashed out with a powerful straight punch while using the same leaping move.
Gaara roared as Naruto attack ripped through his arm of sand, in the same way that Sasuke's Chidori had done, but he was ready as he leaped upward and then unleashed his other sand arm to smash hard into the blonde ninja. Gaara screamed at Naruto in his angered state as he wanted to finally end the life of the blonde ninja.
"DIE!!"
Naruto however was not going to just give up and die as he turned to face the incoming fist and cocked back his fist and unleashed a vortex of wind right at the incoming fist.
"GALE STRIKE!!!"
The massive tornado that came from Naruto's hand smashed hard into the arm that Gaara unleashed tore right through it, forcing Gaara to revise his attacks as he landed on a nearby tree, the Sand ninja then unleashed a hail of sand shuriken at Naruto as well as another blast of air mixed with chakra and sand, the blast slammed hard into Naruto and the tree he landed on suffered a considerable number of cuts as well as having sections of itself torn off by the assault of sand shuriken and the sand, chakra enhanced wind.
Naruto braced himself and while his dragon scale covered skin was withstanding the attacks well enough, that certainly didn't mean he felt no pain as the sand shuriken hit him as well as the sand with chakra enhanced wind, this told him that Fenrix' warning was correct that despite his powers, Gaara could injure him. Naruto however withstood the assault as Gaara unleashed his arms once again.
The blonde moved aside as one arm smashes into the three branch he was on while the other arm hits Naruto on the chest and sends him flying, he hits a tree hard, but the blonde gets up and quickly charges right at Gaara who roars and unleashes another strike, Naruto however quickly unleashes a number of Kage Bushin, one takes the blow from sand arm and so does another Kage Bushin with the other sand arm, the other four had the same tattoos as Naruto does at that moment and all five unleashed from their mouths a massive burst of flame.
"DRAGON FIRE!!!!"
Gaara uses his sand to block the five bursts of pure flame but he still roared in pain as the heat from the attacks was much stronger than the techniques used by Sasuke. As an Ascendant, Naruto's body had been altered to suit his new powers as well as his new found abilities, this gives him a considerable level of ability, and through practice he could now unleash flames with greater ease. And with his powers awakened to full might and with considerably higher control than before he was more than able to hold his own for the moment.
Gaara managed to fire his other sand arm at Naruto in hopes of stopping the Dragon Ascendant's fiery assault on him, the attack manages to force Naruto and His Kage Bushin to halt their combined strike as well as to scatter away from the attack, Gaara used this as his chance as he tore down several massive branches near him and turned them into massive missiles aiming right for Naruto. There were at least four of the massive branches aiming right at Naruto and they were moving too fast as Naruto got up and spotted them.
"NARUTO!!!!:
Sakura yelled out in warning as despite the distance they had from the battle, she could see the level of danger Naruto was currently in at the moment. She knew that due to his bloodline, he would have much tougher resistance to pain, but she also knew that despite his powers, Naruto was still very much vulnerable to attack and sure enough, she couldn't help but watch as Naruto managed to lash out with a fist at one of the massive tree missiles heading right for him.
CRACK!!!!
The massive punch from Naruto had very interesting results as the tree missile was hit dead center in the core and was split in half by Naruto's fist as it was covered in the glowing aura of his Dragon King Blood powered chakra as well as his strength the tree branch was torn in half and Naruto quickly swatted another one while his Kage Bushin came in and unleashed a massive torrent of flame to reduce one more tree into nothing but ash and cinders. The others also took the next barrage of tree branch missiles that Gaara threw their way until Gaara unleashed another wave of sand made shuriken.
Naruto dodged the attacks as the shuriken tore deeply into trees and other parts of the battle field while the sand that followed was made into smaller lumps of hardened rock that acted like sand paper or small blades, showing that Gaara was not going to let up in his plan to reduce Naruto into a corpse. The Dragon Ascendant's skin was able to hold off the damage but he knew that it still hurt him to be hit by those attacks even more so since the attacks were enhanced by chakra as well. He quickly moved in and attacked with a powerful blast of his fire breath.
"DRAGON FIRE!"
The attack forced Gaara on the defensive and that allowed Naruto to use his speed to his advantage, when he didn't have the bracers on to restrain his power, he was far beyond the speed of a normal person, with them on, his speed was reduced, but through the use of his now summoned Wind Element, he was able to rocket right at Gaara by using the wind currents on his feet to propel him like a rocket at high speed.
Gaara moved his arm away and was quite shocked to see Naruto right at him, too close for him to counter attack or defend with one fist at the ready.
"WHAT?!"
"TAKE THIS!!!"
The blow hit Gaara right in the jaw and sent the sand ninja flying, and since Naruto wore the bracers to restrain his abilities until he was strong enough to use them well, he was lucky since if Naruto decided to attack without the bracers on, he would have shattered Gaara's head open like a rotten melon at the first swing. The blow in this case send Gaara right off his perch and slammed hard into a pair of trees, he smashed through the first one and landed hard on the second, Gaara got up and allowed the sand to further consume his form and he was now a small version of the Sand Raccoon demon known as Shukaku.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THAT!!!!"
Naruto quickly moved away as Gaara unleashed his sand arms once more, smashing into the branch he had been on a moment before and he quickly moved in to attack Gaara and unleashed a powerful blast of air to attack Gaara with, that was blocked by Gaara and Naruto quickly made a number of Kage Bushin and with several of his Kage Bushin with him, he decided to go all out to finally end this fight before it got out of hand.
However, Gaara was not going to let this be that simple as he pulled back his arms and blocked the attack and then fired out several more sand shuriken at Naruto and his Kage Bushin, The Kage Bushin blocked attacks and Naruto closed in and fired out a massive ball of pure air that smashed into Gaara's sand arms, blowing them apart and allowing Naruto to attack at a much closer range. As soon as Naruto was close up, he began to unleash a powerful barrage of punches at Gaara who managed to block with his arms as well as his sand shield as he was being hit hard by the blonde ninja who was not stopping in his assault.
Naruto quickly moved behind Gaara and as Gaara turned, he landed a kick right at Gaara to send the sand ninja flying to another tree and smashed hard into the said tree, Gaara got up and was getting even more enraged, the effects of Naruto's attacks on him were showing as parts of his sand form were already falling off of him and were also breaking down. Naruto was far from finished however as he shouted out once more.
"KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!!!!"
In a matter of moments, a large number of Kage Bushin were beside Naruto, all numbering a full twenty five in all. Naruto knew that by using his already existing chakra he could have made a lot more Kage Bushin to finally defeat Gaara by force of sheer numbers, but he had to be quick with defeating Gaara once and for all to strop his rampage on his village. With that in mind, he had to reserve as much power as he could manage to reserve. He knew that this was going to be very taxing on his body but it had to be done either way.
"DRAGON KING BLOOD…RELEASE!!!!"
The five Kage Bushin on one group shouted Fire and were now covered in the tattoos that showed their elemental affinity to be that of Fire, while another group of Kage Bushin took the elemental affinity of Water, the next group took the elemental affinity of Air, the next group took to the elemental affinity of Earth and the last group took the elemental affinity of Lightning. In effect, Naruto was surrounded by twenty five Kage Bushin wielding different elemental affinities and Gaara looked on in anger as he lashed out at Naruto and his Kage Bushin.
"I DON'T CARE HOW MANY YOU ALL ARE!!!! YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!"
Naruto and his army made their moves and attacked Gaara in that exact moment, the groups also began to move in unison as well, unleashing massive attacks that replicated the very same power assault that Naruto had used back in the ring of the Chuunin Exams to battle Neji in combat, only in this case, the numbers advantage was working in Naruto's favor as the five Kage Bushin in each group would work in unison with one of another group, allowing for a variety of amazing and deadly elemental combinations. Fire mixed with Lightning attacks, Earth with Water, Wind mixed with Fire and more. The combined assault was heavily injuring Gaara and destroying large sections of Gaara's sand armor and Shukaku form as the sand ninja was being pushed to his limit as Naruto and his elemental Kage Bushin was hitting with full force against him.
Gaara moved back and the once deadly Shukaku form was badly damaged and falling apart and Naruto knew he had the advantage but decided to stick to close combat for the finish off and with that in mind, the blonde Genin decided to shut down his elemental powers and he did so and his Kage Bushin followed suit as he shouted once more.
"KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!!!!"
In less than a second, over two thousand normal Kage Bushin joined the ranks of Naruto's already existing Kage Bushin, however, Naruto didn't use his Dragon King Blood release and neither did they, doing so would have strained his still growing Dragon Ascendant powers and he was already getting tired and wanted this fight to be over before things got out of hand, with the army of Kage Bushin next to him, it seemed that things were about to go Naruto's way.
--------
Temari's eyes widened at the sight before her as she saw something that by all rights would have been nigh impossible for a Genin to do, she was familiar with the use of Kage Bushin and the rank it had. She had heard that some exceptional ninja could use this jutsu, yet even they could only make a certain number due to the nature of dividing chakra from the user to the Kage Bushin which could weaken the ninja. But never in her entire life did she see anyone summon this many Kage Bushin at once! And even more so being able to do it despite fighting at a state where most ninja of Genin rank would have collapsed from exhaustion
(How can this be?!)
--------
Sasuke and Sakura were awed by the sight, they knew that Naruto could use Kage Bushin when they first saw him in action against Kakashi when they were taking part of the bell test. However, they had no idea that he was able to summon THIS many Kage Bushin at once! Sakura looked on at her team mate and spoke out.
"That many Kage Bushin at once….that's not possible for a Genin…"
Sasuke agreed with Sakura, while he was not as familiar with the Kage Bushin as the others were, he had heard how risky it was for anyone, even Jonin level ninja like their sensei Kakashi to make a large number of Kage Bushin. But Naruto had just made an entire army!
(What the heck is he?!)
--------
The army of Kage Bushin unleashed a powerful barrage of attacks at a badly weakened Gaara and they were tossing Gaara about like he was a chew toy, Naruto knew that he would need to hurry, while he had Gaara on the ropes, he doubted it would remain that way for long since Gaara was not the kind of guy to give up easily, not to mention that demon inside of him could soon awaken and allow Gaara the chance to counter attack.
It was not long before Naruto's worries became reality as the sand that fell all over the place that fell from Gaara's monstrous sand form suddenly came to life and attacked him from behind, he moved away but his Kage Bushin were not as lucky as they were destroyed en masses as they were about to unleashed a massive wave of kicks on Gaara that would utterly shattered his sand armor as well as injure him greatly.
However, even though the sand came back to shield Gaara, the damage from Naruto's attacks was already evident as Gaara was bleeding on the forehead as well as on the left arm and right leg, the blood was there on his clothes as well as his flesh and he was in shock and rage, he had never endured the kind of pummeling the blonde had given him, he was able to shrug off Rock Lee's attacks and while he had been wounded by Sasuke, Sasuke never got to wound him again.
But this blonde ninja was assaulting him in ways that he had never been exposed to and the fact that he was still alive even after he was using all his best attacks to kill him made the already emotionally unstable Gaara lose more of his self control, he had enough of this and he was going to end this blonde ninja's life one way or the other!!!!
Naruto was still in his Dragon Ascendant state using the Wind Elemental form as he watched Gaara, intent in making sure that he was ready to counter the moves that Gaara would use to attack him when he least expected it. He had observed enough to know that Gaara was not going to take the attacks lying down and he would have to make his first move.
Gaara knew that he had to do something fast in order to finally defeat this blonde ninja who was proving to be a real tough warrior and that was when he decided to finally let the beast in him out.
With that, Gaara went deep in his psyche and the very second he was in his own mind; he unleashed the demon inside of himself. The sand around him quickly reacted to his wishes and soon enough, the sand began to grow even more and then….suddenly exploded all over the place in an apparent instant.
Naruto was about to attack when he saw what was happening and quickly moved away to get some room, and the move proved to be a good one as a massive fountain of sand erupted from where Gaara was on the battle field. Naruto managed to shield his face from the sand and so did Temari, Sasuke, Sakura, and Fenrix as well.
In the moment, they looked and Temari was in fear as she saw the form that was before her, she had never seen Gaara this desperate enough to use this form. It was already horrifying to see Gaara in his semi sand raccoon form while he was still in human form, but it was also impressive to see this blonde Genin named Naruto being able to stand up against Gaara and fight him well.
Now it seemed that Gaara had enough of this and was going to finish this fight one way or the other.
Gaara looked down at Naruto through the trees and glared at the Dragon Ascendant as Naruto looked back at him.
(You…..I will defeat you Naruto Uzumaki! You're death by my hand will become the true symbol of my existence!!!!)
Gaara was now on top of the head of a massive figure of sand, the sand seemed to be alive in some fashion as the sand crystals were reflecting the light, the sand also had violet lining as well, the figure resembled a raccoon with the same eyes that seemed to be like that of his raccoon sand form, while Gaara was now bare of the sand that had once covered him before he used this transformation. The form was massive, easily as high or higher than the mountain face that formed the Hokage Monument behind Konoha.
"Kami…"
"That guy….he's no ordinary ninja…"
Sasuke and Sakura gasped at the monstrous sight of the Sand Raccoon that was before them, they had never seen anything like this in their lives before, they both thought Gaara was not ordinary, now the sight of this massive sand monster was really unexpected. Sasuke couldn't help but wonder just how Naruto was going to fight his way of this one. Fenrix however looked on, hoping to see just what his student was going to do now with the threat before him. This was going to be a real test, Naruto's powers were going to have to be used tactically instead of just in the need to overwhelm this foe.
(Naruto….you may have to use all you have to even up the odds with Gaara, do what you can in order to defeat him.)
--------
"Wow….big!"
Naruto moved back and quickly grabbed onto a massive tree as Gaara unleashed a massive sand storm with chakra enhanced wind right at his face. The Dragon Ascendant dug in his hands and summoned his claws on his finger tips to hold himself in position to avoid being suddenly dragged all the way out. The blast of sand and air was immense and howling as Naruto held on as best he could from the attack itself. The move worked for a minute or two until the blast ripped Naruto off his location.
The blonde Genin quickly flipped out of the way as the blast unleashed rocks and trees as well as massive amounts of hard soil right at his face. He managed to avoid being blinded until three arms made of sand came right at him, he evaded one and destroyed the other, but Gaara created four more arms of sand attacked Naruto, forcing the blonde on the defensive in order to even things up before Gaara.
Gaara however had enough of this and unleashed a massive tsunami wave of sand that leaped out in Naruto's direction, forcing Naruto to move away as the sand covered the area before him, he moved to the tree tops and so had Temari, Sasuke, Sakura, and Fenrix.
However, the spreading of the sand was bad news as Gaara suddenly unleashed a massive wall of sand to rise up and surround Naruto and Naruto tried to escape but tendrils of sand came at him and quickly grabbed his legs, preventing his escape as the sand encased him, leaving his head exposed. Naruto glared at Gaara and then the sand constricted around Naruto.
"AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Naruto gasped as he felt the sand begin to surround his body and he felt his body scream more in pain as he tried to free himself from Gaara's grip as the sand continued to surround him. He knew he had to do something fast before he was crushed by the sand arm of the massive sand construct of Gaara. The threat was further magnified as several massive blades made from hardened sand surrounded Naruto on sand tendrils and were dancing endlessly around him, all like snakes eager to bite into a struggling target.
Temari was looking on at this in horror at the moment.
(I've never seen Gaara this determined before….this is not going to be good.)
Gaara laughed as he continued to add the pressure on Naruto and then unleashed the sand blades at him.
"Now DIE!!!!"
Naruto however was not giving up just yet as he decided to even it up as he switched to another Elemental power and that was lightning and he shouted out.
"LIGHTNING SHIELD!!!!!!"
The massive arcs of Lighting that came out of Naruto's form was enough to cut through the sand that covered his body, the blonde then slammed his hands into the sand, that action was enough t destroy the sand blades coming towards him and send arcs of lightning right at Gaara but Naruto knew better than to think that the worst was over as Gaara managed to create some diamond spikes from his sand and redirect the lightning away from his body to prevent him from suffering any lasting damage. Gaara unleashed more massive sand spikes as Naruto did his best to dodge and evade as Gaara gathered his sand back to himself.
As soon as he got some distance, Naruto knew that now was the time for him to use that jutsu that was given to him by Jiraiya, despite powers, he was not skilled enough to take on a foe that size, but he knew just what or rather who could.
--------
Back in Konoha…
The battle in Konoha was quickly turning to the favor of the Konoha ninjas as more of their forces came into the battle, they had prepared ahead and all the civilians had already been secretly evacuated from the combat zone to lower the risk of heavy losses. Now it was time for the counter attack, and it seemed that a number of the Sound and Sand ninja were getting a full blown introduction to the various clans that resided in the village of Konoha.
Inoichi used his clan's Mind Body Switch Technique on his foes, making them turn on one another, Chouza unleashed his clan's Multi Size Technique to crush right through a large number of Sound and Sand Ninja, and Shikaku used the Shadow manipulation ability of his own clan to fight the attackers, they were not the only ones either as the ANBU under Uzuki Yuugao's command came in to fight as well, Hiashi also used the Byakugan to his best advantage against his attackers while Tsume Inuzuka and Hana Inuzuka with their animal companions also got into the act and fought with the Sound and Sand Ninja.
Sarutobi looked on at the sight before him and smiled…despite the fact that the Kusanagi was deep in his back with his Animal Summon, the Monkey King Enma holding on. The battle between the two of them started with a number of battle jutsu to even things between them with Orochimaru revealing the full extent of his corruption and lust for power, seeing that Orochimaru had done this further weighed heavily on the old man as he knew now how far her former student had fallen.
He had always told Jiraiya to be like Orochimaru in learning his ways of being a ninja, but when Orochimaru turned into the man he was now before his eyes, he knew that he should have done something, but he felt that he could try to steer Orochimaru to turn away from the dark path he had started to walk on, but his pleading fell to deaf ears, he made the right move to have Jiraiya's student take the place of Hokage, for he was truly a good man and the kind of man that was right for the position of Hokage, he had a chance to end Orochimaru's cruelty and evil when they tracked him down in the lab when the extent of his crimes became apparent…and he saw the extent of his former student's crimes.
He could have stopped it right there and then since he was not as old as he is now, but he failed, he let his past with Orochimaru blind him from doing what he should have, and Orochimaru escaped.
Now he had a chance and he was not going to waste it, however Orochimaru wasted no time of his own as he brought forth the First and Second Hokages to life using another one of his dark jutsu and using the bodies of his own followers as sacrifices, the two surviving Sound Genin since Dosu had been slain by Gaara since the former Sound Genin tried to slay Gaara. The battle between him and the former living Hokages was difficult indeed as Orochimaru had turned the former sibling leaders of Konoha into obedient servants of his own.
He had succeeded in preventing the next coffin that held the Fourth Hokage from rising as he knew the danger of facing the ninja called Konoha's Yellow Flash, but even if he prevented the Fourth from rising from his grave and allowing his remains to be left undisturbed, the sight that greeted him when the coffins opened was too much. And he knew that he was in for the fight of his life. Sarutobi knew that he was not going to have an easy chance in fighting his former teachers, even with Monkey King Enma on his side but he was not going to give up without a fight.
The First Hokage was the only known user of a Kekkai Genkai that allowed him to summon trees into combat and before Naruto was awakened to his own Kekkai Genkai, was the only known user of such an ability and the Second Hokage was then the only known master of Water based Jutsu without a water source nearby, the two had pushed him to the limits and since they were already dead to begin with even his best attacks were not that effective in defeating them. That and the fact that he was already an old man played a factor in the fight itself as he no longer had the same level of ability that he had when he was younger and had the title of Professor. However he was not the kind to give up despite the dangers before him and then used a powerful jutsu, something handed down to him by the Fourth Hokage when he stepped down from the position of being Hokage all those years ago.
The Jutsu known as the Shiki Fujin Jutsu was a technique that allowed a ninja to summon the power of the God of Death, an entity that feasted on the souls of those who died in battle or those he had been summoned to consume specifically. This was the ultimate way to end an enemy's life, but it was a double edged sword, to do this jutsu, the user had to allow himself to be taken by the Death God, with the Death God using his or her soul as payment for the summoning. The worst was that when the target's soul had been consumed by the God of Death, then the summoner would also join the soul of the one they had targeted to fight in the belly of the God of Death for eternity. It was a high price, but in his mind, it was a price he was willing to pay for his own mistake in letting Orochimaru escape and unleash terror in the world all those years ago.
He was trapped by the Second Hokage and the First but battled on as he used the Jutsu and then with great effort and the use of his Kage Bushin, he was able to restrain both the former Hokages and then extract their souls but not before sharing fateful words with his former mentors as well as the souls of the Kage Bushin as they faded into smoke, and it was in that moment as well that he was then able see the extent of his former student's madness as well as his complete lack of humanity and empathy for human life as the now soulless bodies fell to the ground in heaps of dust and ash.
Two of the Sound Genin team sent to kill Sasuke revealed themselves in the ashes of the First and the Second Hokage. Kin and Zaku lay before him, their bodies already pale and dead, their eyes widened in horror and pain as they had no doubt were unaware of what they had just been subjected to by Orochimaru when he had taken them to see the two caskets of the Hokages.
This further angered Sarutobi as he looked at the two dead ninja and then to his former student, calling him truly mad for willingly using his own people like this, Orochimaru merely laughed and said that they were pawns nothing more that angered the elderly Hokage and he made his move to restrain Orochimaru, allowing the former Konoha Sannin to see the God of Death for the very first time in his life.
This led to the current situation as Orochimaru had acted out of a desire to avoid the fates of both the First and the Second Hokage by calling his Kusanagi sword to stab and kill Sarutobi from behind him. The elderly Hokage was caught off guard but fought off the pain and shock and still was intent on ending his former student's life.
However, he could feel his own life fading as Orochimaru tried to escape once more and in that moment, the old Hokage knew that he cannot take Orochimaru's soul completely and he decided on the next best thing, a fitting punishment for the former Sannin and student of his.
--------
Back in the battle between Gaara and Naruto…
Naruto focused himself and then bit his finger to draw blood and then placed it on the tree branch and hope for the best. He had only done this jutsu once and thus he hoped that he would get this one right. He recalled just how he had been able to gain the use of this jutsu, and it was also when he was finally able to come face to face with none other than the Kyuubi itself.
--------
Flashback to a nearby valley…
Naruto was busy training with both Fenrix and Jiraiya as the Sannin and the senior Dragon Ascendant watched Naruto spar with not just a large number of his own Kage Bushin but several of Jiraiya's own Kage Bushin. As the blonde fought with his Kage Bushin as well as learning the foundations of his new technique in using his Kekkai Genkai in being able to switch and utilize the five elements, the two chatted for a while.
While Fenrix was already aware of Naruto's secret lineage, it made him feel more at ease with talking to Jiraiya, he knew that from the records from his own master Valen that Jiraiya was the sensei of the former Fourth Hokage who was blood related to Naruto, he also knew of the legacy of the Fourth Hokage and the reason why no one knew just how closely related Naruto was to the Fourth Hokage. It was something that the Dragon Ascendant could understand in his own fashion. The Fourth Hokage was a remarkable man and so was his wife, it was a shame that both were not about to see their son grow up.
As they finished their discussion, the Sannin decided to push forward his idea and Fenrix had to admit that despite knowing full well about the ability Jiraiya had in the sense of being able to summon Frogs. Giving this ability to Naruto would further supplement his already growing abilities and would be handy in the battles that were soon to come. Besides, he had been familiar with animal summons before in his younger days, though not in the way done so in Naruto's world.
He knew that like other worlds that had Dragons that resided in them, there had been Ascendants and Dragons in this world, however Naruto's world had a different history than the other worlds once home Dragons and other Ascendants like himself. The creatures left in the land had changed for many centuries ever since the exodus of the Dragons, the Dragon Kings and the loyalist Ascendants from the realms and worlds.
With the approval of both Jiraiya and his Dragon Ascendant teacher, Naruto decided to focus his powers as well as being able to tap into the power of the Kyuubi, he knew that this was not going to be easy, Fenrix had explained to him that the Kyuubi had managed to contain his Dragon Ascendant powers when he was younger, and the Kyuubi would no doubt be in a very foul mood should the two of them finally meet face to face.
He had asked if there was some way to force the Kyuubi out of him, but the Senior Ascendant replied that the idea was too risky in the sense that he and the Kyuubi were bound long before he was given the powers of the Blood Ascension Ceremony and therefore the removal of the Kyuubi could very well kill him. Naruto was not very happy with the news but decided to make the most of it. He wrote his name on the scroll and then began to focus his chakra however he decided to pay the Kyuubi a visit.
He quickly found himself before a massive gate and there was some sort of paper seal, before he could make sense of where he was at the moment, a massive roar was heard and he looked to see two glowing red eyes behind the bars, which were quickly followed by what appeared to be a massive form and sure enough he was quick to stay where he was as she could see the outline of a paw with some very nasty claws.
((So, may jailer decided to pay me a visit…))
Naruto recovered from the surprise and then spoke to the being before him, who he now recognized.
"You're the Kyuubi aren't you?"
((Very good brat, though I doubt I can call you that since you're powers as an Ascendant are now awakened, though restrained, had I moved faster all those years ago, I would have been able to fully restrain that power….however, that idiot with the snake powers interfered with another of my attempts to seal away your Dragon King powers for good.))
"You know about it?"
((Yes I do….I was hoping to seal it's powers away, but the consecrated blood Of a Dragon King is nigh impossible to seal easily, and now that it's unleashed from my attempts there's nothing I can do to contain it. I cannot kill you since you contain me and should you die, then I will die, but since your Dragon Ascendant's powers are awakened, I have no chance of even remotely harming you to begin with. So what do you want from me?))
Naruto then spoke about gaining the chakra of the Kyuubi and with that the Kyuubi growled and replied.
((You already have the power of the Dragon Ascendants, and they were more than able to outmatch even my power in the past, though that was when I was younger and more naïve, and you have the consecrated blood of a Dragon King flowing in your veins as well! What kind of help could I possibly give you?))
"You can give me help when I can't use my Ascendant powers you fur ball! I doubt you'd like it if you were only stuck behind that cage all your life, besides that you're my tenant so you owe me rent."
((I OWE YOU RENT?!))
"Damn right you do! You've been in my for the past twelve years of my life and in those twelve years, you've made my life miserable so I think it's high time you gave back something for all the trouble you caused!"
The Kyuubi growled and then replied.
((Very well then, here is my power so use it well, you may have potential to surpass me, but until then you had better not die!))
In that moment after returning from the area where the Kyuubi had been sealed away Naruto felt the power of the Kyuubi fill him and then he bit his finger to drawn the blood after he had felt the level of chakra he had grow and be more than enough for any jutsu he might use though now was the time to see if the chakra he had from his own reserves and the chakra of the Kyuubi was enough. He then placed his hand on the ground and saw the symbols and shouted out the command for the jutsu to be used.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!"
In that moment a massive surge of energy was felt by everyone in the area and there in a moment was a massive cloud of smoke that was reaching upwards, Naruto stepped back a bit but was quickly taken to the top as he was now deep in the smoke. The whole thing lasted for a moment or two and then Naruto found himself on top of what felt like….cloth, he stood up and found himself on top of something that was massive and that from the fact that he could feel it moving up and down as well as hearing breathing sounds, it was alive as well. He leaped off and then turned to see just what he had summoned on his first try.
Naruto was struck dumb by the sight of the massive toad that was before him at this moment. The creature had deep red skin and had on a pipe in it's mouth as well as a massive open jacket on it and what appeared to be a massive sheath with a short sword on it. He had never expected to be summoning a massive creature like this on his first try. But he had to admit that the sight was very good to him to be able to get this far.
The toad then looked about and then spotted Jiraiya and spoke.
"Well now, it seems I finally got summoned in a place that is not the least bit uncomfortable or strange, but still, there seems to be no fighting happening here Jiraiya, so why am I summoned you pervert?"
Jiraiya laughed at that and then spoke towards the big toad.
"Actually I didn't summon you Gamabunta, the young man over there did."
Gamabunta looked at Naruto and seemed to sniff him a bit and then he removed his pipe and gave out a long smoke, as soon as he was done, the Toad Summon spoke.
"A Dragon Ascendant…and such a young one too, I never thought the day would come I'd meet one again, much less have one as my newly contracted summoner. Tell me, what's your name?"
Naruto could tell that this Toad Summon was very powerful just by being near him, his Dragon Ascendant senses were pulsing from the power coming from the massive toad. Apart from that, Fenrix had taught him to respect those with power especially those of a nature that was not that of the human form and this toad before him was one of them and he gave his name.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki, and who are you?"
"I? I am Gamabunta, chief of all Toad Summons, normally I would expect a greater deal of respect from a summoner, but as a Dragon Ascendant I will let that slide for now, you however had better call me Chief Toad the next time we meet."
As soon as that was out of the way, Gamabunta turned his attention to Jiraiya and then spoke to the Sannin.
"Now then Jiraiya, your young friend here succeeded in summoning me but there seems to be no fighting involved so either I go back home or we have a sake drinking session."
"I should have known you'd say that Gamabunta, by the way, nice work on your summoning Naruto, though summoning Gamabunta on your first try as was a bit much."
Naruto gave a slight laugh as well as scratching the back of his head, and Fenrix was then examined by Gamabunta as the senior Ascendant looked at the chief toad. The giant toad then spoke to the older Ascendant.
"Yet another Ascendant…I never thought your race would ever return to this world, I was still a tadpole when you're race decided to leave this land after the other Ascendants started rebelling, what brings your kind back here I wonder."
Fenrix then replied.
"That will be a very long story Gamabunta."
The Toad Summon nodded and then spoke to Naruto.
"Now then, if you want to be able to command me, you will have to share a drink of good sake with me as well as Jiraiya, and considering that you are a Dragon Ascendant, I think you will be able to stomach the sake."
Naruto had hoped to resist the idea but Fenrix told him that it was all right and he joined the group in a sake drinking session.
It was not long before Naruto got to taste sake for the very first time in his life, while he was still young by human standards, the fact that he now had the constitution of a Dragon meant that he was a lot more resistant to the effects of drinking sake or any alcoholic beverage for that matter and he had to admit that he was developing a liking to sake. Gamabunta was happy to see his newest summoner was getting deep into the spirit of things and had quite a resistance and he poured even more.
Jiraiya had to admit that he was worried about Naruto the very second the young blonde ninja would drink the sake, the young blonde was quick to develop a liking for sake despite the fact that he was technically underage for drinking liquor, the blonde had to admit that there was a part of him that wondered just what sake tasted and while it did burn his mouth somewhat.
The drinking session lasted well into the night and as soon as he was tucked away, Gamabunta had considered the young man a newbie in the art of drinking, but pretty good to have downed a number of bottles with him, Fenrix and Jiraiya.
--------
End of Flashback…
The next day he woke up with only a slight buzz, that being the only result of his drinking at least three sake bottles in one session, now that might not have sounded like much at face value, but in reality, the sake bottles that Gamabunta brought with him were about the size of small storage sheds.
He placed that aside and summoned his chakra as well as his Dragon Ascendant powers and shouted out the command.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!"
The area was once more surrounded by a massive blast of smoke and there before the massive sand raccoon under the command of Gaara was Gamabunta with Naruto right on top of his head and he was using his chakra to hold himself steady on the Toad Summon' head at this moment. Naruto was relieved he was able to pull off the sum
Temari gasped as she looked at the sight before her, she was instructed in all the needed information about Konoha as well as it's known allies, and therefore she recognized just what or rather who the blonde ninja had summoned.
"I don't believe it….that blonde could do such a high level summon…he's supposed to be a Genin!"
Temari was among the very few Genin in the history of Suna to be able to summon an animal summon for combat, yet this young man from Konoha could summon such a high level summon which would have demanded a great level of chakra. This Naruto was proving to be one very deadly threat in combat.
"Incredible!!!"
Sakura spoke out as she saw Naruto summon Gamabunta, she had no idea just where Naruto learned that jutsu, but it was certainly one for the record books!
--------
Back in the confrontation…
Gamabunta looked at the sight before him and spoke to the blonde ninja and Dragon Ascendant.
"So what sort of mess is it this time Naruto? Looks like you're fighting the Shukaku and the Jinchuuriki from the looks of it."
Naruto was rather surprised at that, he was not expecting the giant leader of the Toad Summons to know just who it was that he was fighting.
"You know the Shukaku?"
The massive toad nodded and replied.
"I have been in this world for a very long time Naruto and I have seen the bijuu in all their power, however this one who controls and houses the Shukaku appears to not have allowed himself to fall asleep yet, we should defeat him now before he decides to use some sort of jutsu to place himself into sleep, when he does, then we're going to be in for it."
"Right! Let's get him Boss Toad!!!"
Gamabunta then took out his dagger and the two attacked, Gamabunta sliced off the arm of the massive sand construct that replicated the sand raccoon demon and the fight was well underway with Naruto unleashing attacks of his own to supplement the attacks used by Gamabunta in fighting Gaara and the massive sand form that he was currently using in combat.
Gaara managed to use the sand to block most of Naruto attacks until the blonde shouted out his kage Bushin and then he was joined by four more Kage Bushin and then the sand ninja was now facing gusts of wind, walls of earth, waves of water, bursts of fire and bolts of lightning from the blonde Genin who was still proving to be quite a pest and Gamabunta added to that by unleashing a number of deadly Water attacks showing that he was able to use water based jutsu, befitting his nature as an animal summon who was attuned to water.
"WATER BULLET!!!"
The massive blasts of water slammed hard as Gaara managed to shield himself as well as resisting the attack of Lightning from one of the Kage Bushin that was there with Naruto. He growled and then decided to finally end this fight once and for all. As Gamabunta used his short sword to tear off yet another part of the body of the sand form of his tailed beast, the young Sand Genin decided to use that jutsu, the one he had never resorted to for a long time, but now had no choice but to use to finally kill Naruto.
(I WILL KILL YOU!!!!)
Gamabunta quickly recognized the technique about to be used by Gaara and spoke.
"That is not good! That boy is going to let himself be put to sleep using a jutsu!"
"What good will that do him anyway?!"
"That boy as you might have found out is the container of the Shukaku, I know for a fact that demon beast is a violent being that loves nothing more than overwhelm the mind of its current host and I can bet that young man's been trying to stay awake to keep that blasted monster from consuming his entire mind. The Shukaku's a blood thirsty creature and no doubt demands sacrifices in blood to satisfy itself and that kid does it to placate the thing…"
"Kami….is that what made Gaara become a monster?!"
"That is possible….but we have no time, the second that jutsu works, we won't be fighting that kid anymore, we'll be fighting the Shukaku!"
And sure enough it was not long before Gaara succeeded in putting himself to sleep and then the Shukaku came out and Naruto could tell that Gamabunta was right, the Shukaku was indeed crazy as well as blood thirsty as it talked like it was drunk and wanted to kill them both.
They were forced on the defensive at this point as the Shukaku began to unleash massive blasts of pure chakra enhanced air. Gamabunta then told Naruto that the only way to repress the Shukaku was to wake Gaara up with a strike. However that was not going to be simple as Gamabunta had to do his best to avoid the powerful attacks of the Shukaku lest they took a fatal hit.
Naruto decided to do his absolute best to slow down Gaara and the Shukaku, after Gamabunta told him that the only way to stop the Shukaku's rampage was to strike at Gaara to wake him up and ensure that the spell would be broken, banishing the Shukaku back into the recesses of Gaara's mind, he understood that the best chance they had was to restrain the Shukaku long enough for a strike to be used on Gaara. However, he knew that the Boss Toad would not be able to hold on for long due to not having the limbs to grab onto the Shukaku since he was a toad so he decided to try a different approach.
"I got an idea Boss Toad!!!"
"Then go for it kid! I doubt we'll be able to keep up this dodging game for long!"
Naruto quickly had his Kage Bushin to who was a user of the Fire Element to aim for the Shukaku's legs and free arm when he could while the two other Kage Bushin who could use both Earth and Wind to try and create sand. The plan seemed odd but Naruto knew that if he got this right, he could have a chance to allow Gamabunta to get him closer. The Fire wielding Kage Bushin went to work on aiming at the legs of the Shukaku, making the massive creature even angrier while the other two Kage Bushin continued to attack with Earth and Wind to create sand. The attack was working despite the fact that he could sense his powers beginning to fade as he was using a considerable portion of his powers for this move.
The attack continued and Shukaku was getting annoyed.
"Hold still so I can kill you!!!!!!"
Gamabunta retorted at that as he leaped away.
"Not going to happen!!!"
Naruto knew that he had to hurry but doing this was not as easy as one might think, he focused on defending himself and Gamabunta at the same time while attacking the massive sand form of Shukaku and the situation was not looking very promising as the battle continued to grow in intensity. However the young ninja and Dragon Ascendant was not going to give up as he and his Kage Bushin continued to do the best they could in order to stop Shukaku .
It took a lot of energy to make the amounts of sand that he needed as well as attacking the Shukaku while holding onto Gamabunta, but now he had a chance and then he summoned yet another brand of Kage Bushin and they all were of the Fire Element and they all directed their attack at Shukaku's limbs just as the two other Kage Bushin using Earth and Wind respectively guided the created sand at the limbs of the Shukaku.
"BLAZING WAVE!!!"
All six Kage Bushin unleashed massive tongues of fire as well as fire from their mouths and the fire hit the sand that the two other Kage Bushin sent at the Shukaku, the sand raccoon demon laughed and was about to close the gap to blast Gamabunta and Naruto point blank with it's chakra enhanced wind bullet but then to it's shock, it's limbs were encased in solid diamond crystals.
"WHAT THE?!"
"GO FOR IT BOSS TOAD!!!"
Gamabunta quickly moved in and grabbed the Shukaku as the creature couldn't move as the massive crystals made from diamond had encased the legs and free arm for a good amount of time, Gamabunta realized that the previous attacks with flame were not meant to harm the Shukaku but to change the composition of the sand as well as get it ready to be transformed into diamond crystal. The Toad Summon was finally able to grab the Shukaku and Naruto quickly gathered himself to the attack, his body was exhausted from all he had done but he was far from out of the fight and as he closed in and readied his fist he aimed to wake Gaara with one blow.
"HEY YOU!!! WAKE UP!!!"
WHAP!!!
The blow was hard enough to send Gaara moving to the side, not enough to kill him as Naruto's strength was lower than before due to the previous battles and he lower energy reserves. The blow however was more than enough to wake Gaara from the sleeping jutsu and the Shukaku roared as well as swore as it was banished back into the recesses of Gaara's mind.
"DAMN IT!!!! I JUST GOT OUT!!!! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!!!!"
With that Gaara was now aware and felt the massive pain his body as he glared at Naruto who glared righty back at him, and before Naruto could attack to finish him off, the brother of Kankurou and Temari unleashed several more tendrils of sand to restrain Naruto and crush him, but Gamabunta was able to shield the boy with his tongue despite the fact that the tendrils of sand were sharpened like diamond blades and drew blood from the tongue of the massive Toad Summon, but Gaara was far from defeated as he gathered his chakra and controlled the sand all over the area where he and Naruto were once more and began to fight back.
Inside the area sealed off by Gamabunta's tongue, Naruto felt the sand wrapping around him and he knew that even if the tongue of the Boss Toad shielded him, he still had to get out, and he decided to do what he could with the energy he had left and changed to his Water Element and then unleashed a massive blast of icy mist and the sand froze around him as Gamabunta finally couldn't hang on anymore and released his tongue.
Gamabunta watched as Naruto fought free and finally hit Gaara with yet another blow that finally sent the sand falling apart and break as well. The Toad Summon watched as the sand raccoon construct fell to pieces and smile mentally to himself as he spoke.
"That boy has got power and guts, this will be worth seeing to the end, but not for me, my chakra is out, not bad kid, you might become as good as the Fourth, or even better, if we meet again, I think we need to share some drinks."
With that Gamabunta faded away in a puff of smoke as both Gaara and Naruto looked at one another after landing two opposing tree tope
--------
In Konoha…
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
That was the only scream that was heard in the massive barrier that kept Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru locked in combat with one another and the scream was that of Orochimaru as he had just witnessed something that made him afraid as well horrified. Hiruzen had allowed the God of Death to consume the arms of Orochimaru's soul and deny him the use of his jutsu arsenal. He coughed as he felt the God of Death take his soul as well and he used his last moments of life to speak.
"A fitting punishment for one so obsessed with power…farewell my foolish student…I am sad I will never….get to finish you the way….I wanted."
"YOU!!!! YOU OLD FOOL!!!! GIVE ME BACK MY ARMS!!!!"
As he fell to the ground, Sarutobi saw the faces of his former teachers, The First and the Second Hokage, their words echoing in his mind, he then thought of all the people he had met and known, the young people of the village, and those who he called family, and then he thought of Naruto as well as his meeting with Valen and Fenrix, he smiled at that and then looked to see the face of Orochimaru, but it was not the face of the madman before him…
But the face of the quiet, kind, honest, skilled and gentle young man he once was so long ago….and in that moment, he died.
Monkey King Enma spoke his final words and removed the sword from Hiruzen's back and he himself faded away in a puff of smoke. Orochimaru was angered at the fate, he had killed his sensei, but his plan to destroy Konoha and claim Sasuke had failed for this day and the loss of his arms was something that he knew would haunt him until the time was right. He moved away as the burning pain filled him as his arms were now dead to the world, he could move them but he could never use any jutsu until the time came.
"Orochimaru-sama!!!"
Orochimaru turned to his elite group of ninja from Sound and spoke seriously.
"This mission is over, deactivate the barrier!"
With that done, the barrier that had sealed him and Hiruzen in the battle field was removed and the group of loyal Sound Genin took him away, the Konoha ANBU tired to follow but were unable to as they were restrained by one of the Sound Genin who manufactured some form of web to catch them.
At the bottom, Kakashi, Gai, and Genma were facing Baki and the now revealed Kabuto and as the two were about to leave, Kabuto then spoke seriously to Kakashi.
"It seems you have quite the handful of ninja, one has the Sharingan and the others possesses a Kekkai Genkai that is unheard of, make sure that you train both of them well Kakashi, sooner or later, Sasuke-kun will be on the side Orochimaru-sama, and I will find out what makes Naruto-kun that powerful, mark my words on that."
As Kabuto and Baki left the scene, Kakashi halted both Gai and Genma and they all gathered the remaining Jonin including Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai as well as Mitarashi Anko herself and they quickly made their way to the roof but not before freeing the ANBU to be on the safe side of things. They could only hope that their Hokage was still alive and safe.
--------
Back in the valley…
Naruto and Gaara lay on the ground for what seemed like an eternity, both exhausted beyond normal human limits and it seemed that time had stood still for merely a moment. Gaara had never felt this way, he had been pushed further and greater than he had ever been in his whole life by this blonde ninja from Konoha. He had pushed him to summon even Shukaku and still he couldn't beat this blonde ninja named Naruto Uzumaki.
(What the hell is he?!)
The Sand Shinobi turned and to his horror, the once unconscious Naruto began to rise, and move towards him, his eyes filled with killing intent
Gaara looked on and shouted out in desperation as he felt fear and terror, it was so thick and so strong in him he felt like he was going to choke on it all….
"NO!!!! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!!"
Naruto got up and moved closer and then summoned a blade of wind into his hand, but since in terms of Ascendants, his powers were still very young so the sword vanished and he fell to his knees, he tried to get up and focus on stopping Gaara from getting up Gaara tried to move but his body was badly drained of chakra, Naruto was pushed to his limit and by most records, he would not have been able to get up after what he had done to face Gaara.
Naruto however managed to move his body once more and get to his knees and began to stand up, falling once more to the ground showing just
But to his shock, Naruto was not showing a look of eagerness in killing him, but sadness and regret…
(What the?!)
"It's painful to be alone….isn't it?"
Naruto felt his body reach his limits, his powers were not that strong, not like Fenrix and as such he had to dig deep into himself and summon the power of the Kyuubi for the first time in his life now as a Dragon Ascendant, but he was not the kind to just give up as he struggled to get himself to Gaara to stop him. However he decided to speak to Gaara at this moment.
"I know how that feels, just like you do."
"What?"
Naruto managed to get enough strength to reach at nearby tree and sit down just for a second and he spoke.
"You and I….we are the same."
"How can you say that?! You and I a are not alike!!!"
"Remember when….we were in the hospital and I said I had a demon in me as well? I wasn't lying about that…."
"What?"
"I am like you Gaara, I too contain a demon, and the Kyuubi is inside me."
Gaara wanted to deny it, but something deep in his mind told him that there was no lie in the way Naruto spoke and as he looked at the blonde who stared back at him and he could tell that the blonde ninja meant each word. He then saw Naruto reveal the mark and while the seal was not the same as his was, he could see that it was a very complex and powerful seal, something used only to contain something of immense power. That was the proof Gaara needed to see to know that Naruto was correct in stating that they were the same.
"But, there is a difference between you and me….I have friends, people I care about in this world, I won't anyone hurt them, including you. If I have to kill you to stop you Gaara, I will!"
Naruto then moved forward despite the injuries he had since the fighting. Gaara managed to finally find some level of strength to move but only to reach a nearby rock and sit up on it and he spoke then to Naruto, amazed that even after the pounding they both went through, and the fact that he was out of strength, the blonde ninja who was like him still had what it took to move.
"Why do you fight for them so much? Why….don't you fight for yourself?"
"Because they saved me from becoming lost in hatred, pain, suffering, torment, and anger, they saved me from my own hell. They gave me purpose, they gave me a place to call home, and they are friends….and I will fight for them to my last breath!!!"
Naruto tried to get closer but it was then that Fenrix as well as Sasuke and Sakura arrived on the scene. Sasuke spoke to Naruto.
"Hey, that's enough….this fight's over, you've won, he's got no strength left to fight back."
Sakura also nodded and spoke.
"You don't have to do this anymore Naruto, this fight is over."
Naruto smiled at that and fell to the ground, the two members of his team became worried but Fenrix shook his head with a smile.
"He's fine…he needs to just rest."
The others faced Gaara just as Temari and Kankurou showed up, the two siblings looked at their brother shocked at how badly beaten and exhausted he looked at the moment, They then faced the group while Sakura and Sasuke got ready for a possible attack while Fenrix replied as he revealed his own tattoos and they colors swirled, showing that while he had no doubt he could beat them easily, he was not going to waste his energy on them, this fight was over so there was no need for him to fight..
"You will gain nothing staying here, this fight is over, your side lost."
"H-He's right….this is enough, the plan failed…"
Temari and Kankurou turned to their brother and Kankurou decided to help their brother out of the area and so did Temari, after seeing how Naruto fought with their brother and knowing now that Fenrix was far greater in terms of power and ability than Naruto, they would stand no chance before him. With that in mind the three left the scene, allowing Fenrix to carry Naruto on his back while Sasuke and Sakura rallied with both Shikamaru and Shino as well as Shino's father and Asuma while the senior Dragon Ascendant unleashed his wings to fly back to Konoha.
There in the village of Konoha, the bad news of the death of the Third Hokage was already moving about, dampening the victory earned by the forces of Konoha at the loss of their leader. However, they saw on his face a smile showing that while he died, he was happy to have given his all in the defense of the village.

Author's Notes:
I have to apologize for the mix-ups in the story, I had a lot to deal with at the time so I kind of messed up at some important points in the story but finished it and fixed it up as best I could at any rate.
So far Naruto has actually been able to share drinks with Gamabunta thanks to the constitution of a Dragon Ascendant and the fact that he is an Ascendant makes Gamabunta respect him to a certain degree. How exactly does Gamabunta know about the Dragon Ascendants will be answered in the coming chapters soon enough, and the answers might very well surprise you once the ideas are organized well enough.
And don't worry about Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, they will show up soon enough in this story of mine so excuse me while I get things organized for the next chapter!!!
If there are reviews, comments, constructive critiques, complaints and suggestions, then send them my way, but don't flame me since it's a waste of my time and yours.
The reason this has not been updated is I needed to work on other matters and I do have a life beyond this PC after all so cut me some slack, we all have real life to deal with and I have more to deal with since I am going back to School for my Second Course Semester.
See you later!
