Chapter Seventeen: New Skills, Old Allies
"Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm."
― Charles Caleb Colton
The world had suddenly become alight with the buzz of massive, unrestrained power and all of that from the presence of a single being, a demi-god or more exactly a demi-titan, a being far more in tune with their soul and the elements than even the gods themselves and what made it worse was the fact that she had achieved the peak of the power she could achieve as such a hybrid, not a god but still far beyond the power of any other human. Her physical form was stunning, the figure of a perfect woman, her forms enticing without being grotesquely so, her brown eyes hovering between the edge breathtaking and mundane, her curly black hair shinning as they were swayed by the slight breeze, making them look soft when in fact they were stronger than the strongest materials resting into the ground. Her skin tanned in a way similar to that of those of Kumo descend, looking no more different than that of a civilian, soft and so easy to break unlike that of a shinobi and yet no mere kunai could pierce it, only weapons of great power or great power channeled through mundane weapons could hope to harm, the woman's tie to the physical world.
What none but those gifted with stolen, divine eyes, - could see was what lurked underneath the façade of a normal civilian, albeit one whose body was to toned to be one, whose beauty could put even the most able seduction Kunoichi to shame or the biggest tell of all,- capable of flight. Beneath the muscles and flesh stood a furnace of power, attuned to the earth itself as earth was attuned to her soul. Now mana was the counterpart of chakra in many ways but the most easily understood one was that mana was the mixing of the energy that all souls naturally produced by merely existing and the metaphysical energy produced by the mind's growth and work, in theory infinite and inexhaustible but since the body and soul were not quite in tune it was just easier to replenish and access in larger quantities than its physical counterpart of mental and the bodies life force,- chakra. The Elemental affinities were decided by a person's own mindset and the influence of the world around them but since the spirit (the cocoon around the soul which made each and everyone unique in ways mankind can't begin to comprehend) had no actual elemental leaning, other elemental abilities could be acquired albeit with greater expenditure of effort than the element you were naturally inclined toward.
That's where the Demi-Titan differed from normal people as her divine ancestry left her with a spirit capable of attuning to only one element, depriving her of anything that wasn't off the earth or elementally unaligned but in exchange her dominion over earth was incomparable to that of mere humans, age was but a way to measure time and her body and soul were better aligned than 99.99% of the rest of pure humans could ever achieve granting her massive raw power and the capacity to replenish as fast as she could spend it. Her chakra was however small in quantity, feeble in potency, crawling in speed of recovery and warped beyond recognition, unusable as anything more than the warm feeling and general empowerment that any of those who consciously molded chakra gained, as a passive buff. All in all she was a terrifying foe, one that if he had been alone he would be hard pressed to survive, his Immortality useless to the being who could forbid his soul from ever getting nearer to the earth that the distance from earth to the moon through the right of conquest and also the reason why Earth release was so widespread in the Earth Country.
It was Hiddan, the Silver Knight who acted first, his chakra recognizing a power so similar to that of the Avatar of Jashin whom he had ironically died banishing from his home world with the help of his greatest friend and ally Minato Namikaze, The General. As it was expected the silver scythe hit but empty air as the woman slid with speed far beyond anything remotely possible to human beings. A split second later, powerful sorcery had looked the undead knight in a crystal prison.
"To consort with the undead, tsk, tsk" Sairazul mock-admonished "for the descendant of such powerful and prideful people to be reduced to consort with their kind"
"If you knew my ancestors than you know that if you fight me you will be defeated" Naruto tried to talk his way out of the oncoming fight "I'm very powerful on my own and my own warriors follow closely behind"
"Indeed the power you have collected through the ritualistic life The-Ones-Who-Toy have gifted you with,- is vast, far greater than even some of the more experienced Gamer I have meet during my time as your families ally" the woman nodded "but the slight to my honor cannot go unpunished, my very soul screams for it and not even you can thwart my nature"
"What slight? My ancestors didn't record any sealing of Elemental Lords and Ladies" Naruto asked confused.
"But you let the means to do so in the hands of the lesser maggots who you once protected from those with Greater Power" the Unyielding Queen spat "and when I refused to bow and be bound to them thy sealed me away with the means our allies had sworn were not to be created"
"and yet they existed and those who were but uneducated rabble turned them on us" at that she gave a bitter laugh "us, who defied our parents and family, us who stood against unimaginable horrors were stripped of our freedom for the simple crime of not bending our knee to paranoid humans and their volatile moods"
"I see, so there is no hope of you ever giving up on your self-entitled crusade" Naruto stated, sighing and rubbing his temples "then you leave me no choice"
Than Naruto blurred as he speed forward at full speed, almost twice as fast as his father had ever been even with the aid of chakra,- only for his opening blow to be caught into the empty hand of the Earth Elemental Lady. The shockwave of such forces colliding blew up the entire hill they were standing upon forcing Naruto to propel himself away, narrowly avoiding a back handed slap which would have broken a few ribs if it had connected. Violet and blue fire mixed as Hiruzen Uzumaki and Itachi Uchiha, unleashed their mightiest fire techniques. Earthen walls rose to meet the onslaught and against all odds did so while remaining intact. Thunder streamed from Yomi, The Susano'o Priest but as the flames before it, the lightening barely scratched the surface of the walls. Ice spears rained from the sky at the same time a massive wave of super-sharp air came from Zabuza, the Red Mizukage, chakra enhanced swing. Dust consolidated into clouds that easily stopped such attacks.
The titanic wave of Lava however was not stopped but was instead hijacked and sent back into the form of thousand lava dragons that tore the landscape before burying Roshi underneath mountains of rapidly cooling lava. Shion, the Mad Maiden's chakra lances got the furthest by actually making a dozen, one inch deep holes into the earthen walls. Kakashi, the Darkness Incarnate, a hundred meters thick column of lightening was no more successful than the smaller version Yomi used, as it was blocked in mid-air by an indestructible boulder. Han, the Devil's Executioner, chakra-enhanced punch actually made it move a few millimeters but the walls protecting their foe gave no other indication of damage. Then the world lit up as Naruto used his "Celestial Release: Spiraling Cannon" and the wall that faced the bright beam cracked and begun to crumble from the arcane nature of Celestial release chakra. A slow clap was heard through the dust clouds raised by the fall of the defensive wall "Bravo" Sairazul mocked "a few thousand years back you might have succeeded in actually scratching me" thousands of small rock pieces rose to block the sun as the Demi-Titan laughed "but right now you are no more than vermin's"
The rain of pebbles was not as harmless as one would expect at reading the words and yet when those pebbles are accelerated to relativistic speeds, deadly doesn't even begin to describe its destructive power. The explosion destroyed whatever was left of the buildings of Iwa, as the air was transformed from its natural state into plasma from the sheer friction forced and the shockwaves of the particles that once were pebbles hit the ground caused avalanches hundreds of miles from the epicenter of the explosion. The twelve undead warriors Naruto had summoned to help him had been atomized being so close to the explosion and due to the immense damage would take a few minutes to fully regenerate while Naruto himself had teleported himself back to his village, waited for a full ten seconds for most of the heat to dissipate before returning to the battlefield. What he found there was a scene right out of a nightmare, one involving lots of nuclear weapons.
Twelve columns of light appeared as Naruto felt his connection to his destroyers being abruptly ended with unnecessary brutality. It was quite humbling to see a technique that borrowed power from a primordial being,- torn apart like wet paper against a pissed off Tailed Beast. What none of the two living people on ground zero expected however were the nine hundred yellow flashes as the surviving clones came back to the battlefield. Molding his own chakra, he spread it out like a spider web, connecting to that of his surviving clones, etching inerasable kanji for The Flying Thunder God jutsu though at this point the jutsu was far more advanced that the Fourth's jutsu even if it was based on nothing more than brute strength and large numbers. The next step began as hundreds of clones attacked into telepathically coordinated assault patterns, ever changing leaving no room for someone to actually adapt but they had missed one slight fact, Sairazul was not human and neither were her reaction time and processing ability.
In less than twenty seconds out of nine hundred clones only a hundred remained who wised up and began to attack in threes and fours thus pushing her to the limit of her capacity to respond to continuous assault but in the end failing to overwhelm the Demi-Titan. In annoyance Sairzul lit up with bright light as the rapidly cooling lava around reignited and rose forming millions of tiny bullets. It took a full minute before all clones had been destroyed from the super-sonic shower of lava bullets that continued to speed away within a certain radius. It was a racing dragon of whitish blue chakra that impacted her from a rip in space-time, - that hit her full force sending her crashing through the entire ground-zero stopping after a few miles. A chakra-enhanced punch lifter from the ground or at least tried to as her feet never actually moved but the slight crack in her jaw confirmed his greatest fears, she had in her isolation and madness became one with the element she embodied and becoming less and less human as time went by.
Her response was too fast for him to use his Flying Thunder God-Kamui hybrid and was hit by a powerful punch that made half million damage and sent him flying like a broken doll. The next strike was less powerful, the mana covering her whole body retreating back inside since mana that hadn't a definite structure had a very short shelf life on the outside of one's body. The 90,800 damage notification was worth it, as it stopped his flight and shook off the dazed status allowing him to open a portal before he touched the ground and he struck her with all the momentum of her strike plus his own power. She stopped him with a raised palm as gravity obeyed and he was once more thrown away like a broken doll though this time he didn't fight as walls of lava rose and enveloped her completely before she could recover from her use of gravity. The lava barely damaged her as two seconds later the lava moved away revealing a slightly burned Sairzul, fury showing in her face as she sent all the lava towards its origin, the red haired man who had attacked by surprise the day his friends was taken from him.
While the lava speed toward Roshi, a white blur hit Sairzul and the land shook as she was lifted from the ground and sent flying from the uppercut. Something changed in her aura as she was lifted from the ground and it was in a fraction of a second before he brought out [The Crown of Bishamon] placed it on his head and the fired off [Grand Judgment Hourglass] which at level eleven did at minimum two million of damage but could go up to five million and a half at its max. The aquamarine explosion of energy temporarily blinded both of Naruto's eyes as the power of Bishamon's gift took on the characteristic of the power that Sairzul would be most vulnerable and strangely it was the power of sea though it shouldn't have come as a surprise seeing as the elemental hierarchy was quite different and rather bizarre when mana was involved. The attack was over in seconds and then he saw something that both made him afraid, repulsed and angry, what lay beneath the smooth skin and pretty face of Sairzul.
From the newly formed crater a being straight from horror stories rose, her skin cracked to reveal a pulsating mass of black strings that Naruto recognized as carbon fibers, her ruined hest revealed a beating heart entirely made out of Royal purple crystal shinning with a sinister light, her face twisted into a parody of her former human appearance as it missed a the nose and instead of her previous two eyes now six stood there each one made entirely of a precious stone (Amber, Amethyst, Morganite, Moonstone, Obsidian and aquamarine respectively), her once black hair transformed into green vines and a host of spikes made entirely out of Titanium rose from her back. "Bravo" her raspy voice sounded through the field "you destroyed my cocoon but you'll find this form far more difficult to harm" she wheezed a laugh as she lifted her smoking form from the crater and suddenly gravity was amplified, the ground in mile radius was compressed as it became an even larger crater.
"My dear, you should learn a few basic principles when fighting one such as me" Sairzul spoke, her voice returning to its normal smoothness "You do not ever, ever touch me" as she spoke the world rumbled as hundreds of pillars of stone rose in the air and stood there levitating "I'm the best thing next to a god that this world has ever seen" the stone pillars suddenly sprouted vines and flowers and by the time she finished her sentence the arid plain had been transformed into a massive forest of plants equipped with massive poisonous thorns which the three shinobi had hard pressed to avoid being impaled or scratched by. "That, you in your arrogance believe that you might, in fact be more than annoying pest is at the same time annoying and amusing" she spoke like a vision of a goddesses passing judgment gone horribly wrong. The forest continued try and kill them and despite all attempts of the three shinobi to use the techniques that had proven even mildly effective before, the forest healed far too quickly for them to be of any use.
Fed up with this situation Naruto's chakra and mana exploded in a massive torrent of violet and blue that took over the entire forest, his energy being soaked by the plant life and with a ping sound a new table opened

Panting slightly at the exertion of having so much of his own chakra and mana drawn from him, at once he commanded the trees to grow taller and trap the Earth elemental Lady but even reinforced by his power they were easily destroyed. The shower of crystal shards was stopped by the immensely thick foliage as the buzz in the air continued to increase steadily. Two seconds later he found himself in front of the two Jinchuriki's who had stolen the Nine Tails crystalline prison, his Rinnengan burning with barely restrained power as he stood crouched upon a tree branch.
"Hello" he called out, his presence unfelt until he had willed it visible "I know that you are feeling a tad bit lost right now and not a little terrified at the sight of my face but I think that we need to work together if we want to survive this"
"And why should we trust you?" the Jinchuriki of the Four tails, Roshi. Asked.
"You are as responsible for this as that thing" the Jinchuriki of the Five tails, Han, accused.
"I did in fact destroy most of your village before she turned into the perfect picture of a apocalyptic scene" Naruto shrugged "but this doesn't mean that you shouldn't cooperate to save yourself'
"You think you can defeat us two and out tailed beasts?" Roshi asked incredulously.
"Yep and to be fair I don't need to fight you and your tailed beast" Naruto grinned "you see they are my family in a convulsed way so you'll find their cooperation against e lacking not to mention that I could do this
Before they could react the world suddenly brightened as two dozen chains buried themselves in the two shinobi's chests and a movement later in a sort of heat haze, shimmer two massive beast rose, their chakra literally burning the forest around them as their forms stabilized and their chakra shook off the last webs that once bind them inside their hosts. Both hosts found themselves a bit wobbly, like one would feel after receiving a massive amount of chakra but no dead like all host who had their ripped out of them. The calmly pronounced words of "Human Path: Kannon (Avalokiteśvara)" preceded a massive rush of power as the power that they usually drew forcefully from their host, became available in even larger quantities as transparent cloaks of chakra covered them.
"Good now that my intentions are cleared" Naruto smiled "my hold of this dominion will quickly shatter and she will be free to attack us again with all of her power"
"So the increasing hum means this is falling?" asked Roshi.
"Bravo, you are the master of stating the obvious" Naruto mocked "now do you want to make a statement on the fact that your Tailed Beasts are free or do you want to know more about your enemy"
"Forgive their foolishness, Naruto-kun, they have no idea of the one they have disrespected" the voice of Son Goku, boomed as he sent a chastising glare at the two ex host "you honor them by allowing them to still draw power from us even separated as we are but man still remains the most disrespectful and willingly ignorant apes on this planet"
"Was that supposed to be a joke?" Naruto laughed and then suddenly clutched his chest "damn she is stronger than I thought"
"Do you need our help?" Kokuo asked concerned.
"Yes but I need to warn you first before creating a second channel between us" Naruto answered standing back up "now no matter what happens do not ever use any earth based assaults or chakra against her it will at best do nothing but at worst it will make her stronger"
"So fire and my natural strength" nodded Son Goku.
"Well my steam still remains effective at least" Kokuo nodded as well.
"And us?" asked Han.
"Try not to get killed and if you see an opening to kill her take even if it means you death" Naruto answered "nothing beneath Tailed Beast Ball level or specifically engineered to take her down as you Steam Release, will do any significant damage"
"Why are you willing to ally with us to defeat this being?" Roshi asked "would it not have been enough to free them"
"No, unfortunately no" Naruto answered "and while I would like nothing more than to rip your spines from out of your backs, the survival of mankind comes first, now move it"
"Rinnengan: Konnan (Avalokiteśvara)" was once more used as he began to spit blood and then he stood back up he started draining mana from the god-fragments that the two Tailed Beasts were. A blast of pure power covered the entire forest and the advance of Sairzul's power was stopped as the will to not give up and the power of the tailed beast stopped the hateful and warped power of the earth elemental. With his domain severely diminished he decided to combine two of his skills hoping that this didn't blow him up, after all it was quite a bother to regenerate after you had atomized yourself. The earth beneath his feet shook as Sairzul didn't let the fact that she hadn't been able to power through his hold of his remaining dominion stop her,- and charged forward only to meet two pseudo-Jinchuriki and two pissed off Tailed Beast. Knowing he had but a few minutes at most until she overpowered or outrun his allies and thus put all his focus and power toward achieving his new technique and was rewarded as the world around him broke like glass fragments and a tab popped up in front of him.
[Due to a special action a new skill has been created] [Meta-Domain creation]
[Domain Creation] [Lvl 1] {89.5%]
[You ability to generate dimensions and Domain creation have fused to become an entirely new power and thus giving you a power not unlike the Gods {World Gate} ability but done through mortal means.

[Costs: 5.000.000 Cp& Mp/second, Affected area: 2.000 square meters]
[Current Domain: God-Soldiers Forest]
The true trick of what he had done relied on fusing such a basic skill of the Gamer power and his natural developed one but he had done before Sairzul had succeded in defeating his allies and now they were even more powerful than before. His head was assaulted by the united power of hundreds of minds but his Will of the Emperor stood unmoved as they were crushed by the meta-physical might of his Imperial mind and found himself in command of almost a thousand God-warriors. The God-warriors were differently from what their name suggested not gods but rather part of a gods power given a physical body and form allowing them to grow somewhat independent but in the end servants of those who had created them while still capable of a measure of growth. They had been what had in the end allowed them to defeat the Titans of Old as once destroyed the power spent making them returned and was added to the god who created them alongside any growth in power and all their experiences while the power spent making them had in the meanwhile grown back, however the battle experience and the refining of using as little power as possible were the most useful aspects of these soldiers.
On the way over two hundred of them crumbled away as they held within them power from the element of earth and thus could not be allowed near Sairzul. When he arrived in the battlefield he saw both Han and Roshi badly wounded despite their chakra cloaks and their wounds healing to slowly despite the healing properties of their helping God-Fragments. What truly pissed him off however was finding both Son Goku and Kokuo badly wounded with Sairzul standing over their wounded forms preparing to deliver the final blow. His chakra exploded forward as he drew even from his family and he proclaimed "Kokuzo: the Untouchable" and the world blurred away as he stopped existing in one place as Space-Time became part of him achieving the pinnacle of Space-Time techniques as his covered in a layer of Celestial chakra attacked the twisted form of the Elemental Lady. She tried to fight back but being deprived of her connection with the Earth due to him controlling this Dominion and because hundreds of God-soldiers joined as he used "Rinnengan: Idaten (Skanda)" to make them interconnected in a way similar to his shadow clones.
To be fair Sairzul was no slouch and even deprived from her connection to the earth and the world she destroyed dozens of God-Soldiers but her success rate decreased as Naruto activated "Dhamma Vicaya: The Observer of Truth", his personal mutation of Observe ,- through himself and his God-soldiers and quickly adapted to Sairzul's combat patterns. The technique however came with a steep price as he felt himself detaching from the world as his fast and repeated use drowned his mind in knowledge and much of it was so foreign to human minds that it started to overwhelm even his Psionic Immunity trait by being far to Eldritch to comprehend. Pushing himself even faster he molded a massive amount of man and activated "Adhipanna-Sikkha: the World" , magnifying his processing power by magnitudes and thanks to that his attacks quickly overtook even the until now,- untouchable Sairzul as her form began to disperse in nothing but multi-colored dust.
Falling to the ground on his knees, Naruto let his collection of techniques fade away, pretty much all of his power spent and the Dominion around him dissolved as he slumped against one of the trees still standing after his rage over took him and turned the damaged forest into a massive crevice. Without even realizing he took of the Crown of Bishamon and stood back up, his wounds evaporating away almost as fast as his power flooded back. With a flick of his wrist, the two unconscious Pseudo-Jinchuriki's died as the earth rose to crush them too fast for either of them to notice. A splitting headache makes its way even through Gamers Mind & Body but he does not stop as he approaches the wounded forms of his family preparing to strike the final blow himself and it that moment he realized the little puzzle that his mind had been unable to comprehend at first when using "Dhamma Vicaya: The Observer of Truth" on Sairzul, she could latch unto him and use him temporarily as a cocoon upon her bodies destruction.
For all his inner struggling, Sairzul's possession was as immovable as the earth itself and he soon found himself drifting into the void, his home world but a speck of light in the distance, drifting ever further from him. The numbing had already began, notifying him that he was becoming more and more disconnected to his body and the world, doomed to spend the rest of eternity wandering this empty dimension forever. It was then that the darkness around him was ripped to shreds to reveal what looked like a massive galactic nebula, and its exact center stood a light, brighter than any star, its diameter clearly immense even from the edges of the nebulae, where he found himself and then, then the whole world shook as a presence older than time, stronger than reality and oddly familiar settled around him filling the dimension to the point where it seemed it might explode.
"Rise, Heir" a voice resounded in his head with the power of a supernova "do not despair for as your enemies bring you down, your allies shall help you stand once more"
"Who are you" Naruto projected its own though toward what he assumed was the physical manifestation of this presumed ally.
"Many names I have been called but you know me better as Gaia of the Sentience" the voice in his head once more, with a touch of amusement in her mental voice at Naruto's assumption that the galactic nebula was her physical manifestation.
"So you chose to honor your old pledges only now when I'm at the brink of oblivion?" Naruto asked.
"Precisely" Gaia answered "and I shall warn you that to judge primordial's by the standards of human beings is by far the greatest mistake you could do"
"Oh, so you would have left me to perdition if it suited you, is that what you are saying?" Naruto continued angrily.
"Foolish mortal" she answered "you might think that you are immortal but there are worst things than death and perdition out there"
"So that's a yes?" Naruto laughed "well at least this is you alright, sincere even when you shouldn't be"
"Should I not be?" Gaia asked amused "I am the oldest of my brethren, I was sentient even in the midst of the Outer Chaos, long before you opened this world for us, should I then be afraid of losing your anchoring and be ousted from this world by the Titans curse"
"No, I suppose you should not" Naruto agreed "so you will help me"
"Indeed and if you have access to the Cryptex, than you will know how" Gaia responded.
"It will do me no good, if I have no control of my body" Naruto said bitterly "and her power gives her an edge not even I can overcome"
"Giving up so easily" Gaia sounded disgusted "where is your famed will, the one you ancestors showed battling the Corruption of Aphopis and overcoming it"
"You don't know how it is, to be powerless" Naruto spat out bitterly "my ancestors had full control of their powers, while mine, well there are like a coin toss between the erasing of reality and the desired outcome"
"Do not give up child" Gaia comforted "you may yet win this one, the power resides within you and as my champion her power will be completely negated and it will then be up to you"
"And if I lose?" Naruto asked.
"Then everybody dies" Gaia answered "the Primordial's will return back into the Outer Chaos and your world will fall apart consumed by the parasites you call gods"
"So no pressure there" Naruto sighed "what the hell, let's do this"
Pain consumed every fiber of his being as the power of Gaia coursed through him, a power beyond human comprehension and never meant to be yielded by humans and yet he would have to, to save all those he held dear. He slammed into the pinprick of light, that connected the dimension with his world, - with the speed of light and the power of a world ending cataclysm and the thick metaphysical walls around it fell as the overwhelming power of Sairzul was broken and he entered into his soul and mind. The battle was harsh and ruthless as both sides levied their greatest mental assets against one another in a battle of wills. The unmovable earth that was the will of Sairzul pitied against the unstoppable inferno that was Naruto Otsotsuki's will and in the mindscape continents rose and fell as the battle pushed their foes further and further and made them dig deeper inside them just to gain a temporary upper hand or to avoid being crushed. Had Sairzul known what Naruto would find digging deeper inside himself, free from her overwhelming and oppressing power, - she would have avoided trying to posses him in the first place but unfortunately she did not. Naruto didn't ever expect to find that there was a whole new level of the Will inherited from his family, his perception clouded by the power levied against him but there was and now facing such a being inside himself had apparently meet some condition that made the damn break and his mental power increased a thousand fold.
Sairzul only saw a blinding white flash as the world around her shattered to reveal an endless void filled with billions of pinpricks of light interconnected to a bright burning star that was the Uzumaki repository but what truly scared her was the titanic version of Naruto Uzumaki bathed in a golden cloak of energy as he squashed her mental form. In the outer world Sairzul was banished and a new body was formed from the earth as Naruto opened his eyes and chakra covered his form, similar to that he had used in his mindscape but less… majestic than it had been inside his mind but before that could finish markings spread through his body and through his cloak developed several bulging veins of pure power as Gaia blessing fully settled in and he gave her a grimace.
"You really should have abided by our old alliance" Naruto spoke "that way I could have helped you recover but now… I must do this"
"Mother, you have abandoned me" wailed a crazed Sairzul, her mind reduced to tatters after her mental battle with Naruto.
"Your mother abandoned you long ago" Naruto spoke softly "as for Gaia, she was once your mother in all but blood but with what you have done to yourself, you have ceased to be the same Sairzul she raised and she wants me to let you know that this will hurt her even more than it will to you"
"No" Sairzul screamed bringing all her power to bar against Naruto only to fall short.
"I'm sorry child" Gaia's voice came out of Naruto mouth as the forest swallowed Sairzul
