Few formats before reading

'Naruto' for Kurama thinking,

"Gaki" for Kurama speaking,

Amaterasu for the name of an attack,

Tsukuyomi when an attack is thought inside the head instead of speaking out loud,

'Kurama' When Naruto is speaking to Kurama,

'The heck?' when a character thinks, same for naruto these thoughts would not be heard audible to Kurama.

Now, let's start.

Intro

The situation was bad. Very bad. It had been two years since Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection, The Progenitor of Chakra, The Rabbit Goddess. The entire Shinobi Alliance was still trapped within the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi except for Naruto, who now held the remaining upper half body of his in-all-but-blood brother, Sasuke Uchiha in his arms.

Tears flowed down Naruto's face as he held him and listened to him as the said his last words. He had failed to save yet another precious person. All because of her. Looking up at the floating goddess and glaring at her smug face, Naruto recalled the last two years of fighting against the goddess.

Roughly two years ago

The progenitor of chakra was resurrected three days ago and they were still fighting her to save the world from Infinite Tsukuyomi. Obito's Sacrifice proved beneficial to team 7 and Kakashi having access to even more and Obito's Jutsu. But after Obito's death, things were going down ever since then. They had fought in six different dimensions in their battle against the Rabbit Goddess and currently were in the vast desert full of dunes. The dimension was very hot due to its climate. Kakashi and Sakura were on standby to help however they could as Naruto and Sasuke fought Kaguya head-on.

Then the Dimension changed to Kaguya's mountainous core dimension which links all her dimensions together.

All the Team 7 members widened their eyes as Kaguya's Chakra level began restoring itself. That was confusing as Naruto in his Six Paths Sage mode was taking up every bit of nature chakra available around them. Then how was the goddess reclaiming the chakra lost? Then at the same time Sasuke and Kakashi both looked around their dimension and noted that While in this dimension, Kaguya recovers quickly and can absorb chakra from victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi at will.

Kakashi looked towards Naruto at the same time as he still looked confused about what was going on as The Goddess had suddenly stopped her attacks.

'Is she using Senjutsu? But how can she do that while I am taking up almost every bit of it?' The question rang inside his head until he heard his teammates shout.

"She's extracting the chakra from shinobi trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi, Naruto!"

Kakashi started to explain "We have to hurry and force her to change the dimension or else-" when Sasuke continued "Every Shinobi trapped will continue to lose their chakra and start to transform into Zetsu"

Naruto's eyes grew wide as he heard that. All of his friends were trapped in the Ultimate Genjutsu and were slowly losing their life as she continued to absorb chakra from them.

"Kakashi-Sensei, Sasuke! What do we do now then? We have to stop this quickly!" Naruto shouted in half-panic and half-grimace to his teammates as he pulled his hair for any ideas to generate. Kaguya had a small smug smirk on her beautiful face as she looked at their panicked faces.

'Just a little more and all of these pests would be gone forever'. Her smirk turned into a frown quickly as looked at Sasuke and Naruto, 'Still a shame that My sons did this and would have to die. They still don't understand me. Or my reasons.' Sakura looked between all of her teammates and had a tinkling idea, Kakashi noticing this from her expressions turned to her. "Got anything?"

"I don't know if it would work or not…" Sakura trailed off thinking to herself and get lost in her thinking. When she returned, she saw her teammates looking at her expectantly. A sweatdrop rolled off to the side of her head as she continued, " If we could somehow in our world cut the Shinju and Kaguya's connection and stop it from sending chakra here in her dimension, then we could stop her from regaining chakra, and also save the shinobi alliance from turning into Zetsu"

It was a good idea. A similar thing happened when Naruto cut the tree in half and stopped it from merging with Madara. It could work but-

"How do we cut the connection when we are here and the rest are trapped?" Naruto asked confused and looked at Sakura for the solution.

Instead, Kakashi replied, "That is a sound idea Sakura. Naruto are you somehow connected to the Sage of Six Paths? You could ask him to do that along with other pages." Naruto's had a frown as he heard that. Looking at his teammates, "Nope. I lost the connection after the first dimension jump. And it has been a long time since then."

Sasuke adopted a thinking face while facing Kaguya to counter any sudden attacks. He knew she was especially focusing on him so that they lose the dojustu defense that he was providing. Slightly turning towards Naruto he had an Idea but it would require a lot of chakras. The chakra that he did not have. Sasuke internally grimaced at the fact.

"Usuratonkachi, how much have you got?"

Raising an eyebrow, Naruto answered Sasuke "About a quarter, Teme?"

Sasuke's lips pressed into a thin line. That was not what he was expecting he was dangerously low on chakra, how the hell did Naruto maintain that much chakra?

"Even then it would not be sufficient. But we would have to try anyways" Sasuke softly sighed at that.

Sasuke looked directly into Naruto's eyes and with a small burst of chakra sent his thoughts into his mindscape with his Sharingan.

Naruto's eyes grew large upon receiving said thoughts and looked at Sasuke questionably.

The question was simple "Can we even do that?"

"Maybe, maybe not. You would have to try it for it to work" Kurama added his opinion

'How? This Dimension is Her even if Sasuke has copied Amenominaka with his Rinnegan, This Dimension is still connected to her, by proxy her Amenominaka. Unless he can open a portal directly to our world we cannot do anything' Naruto replied to his new partner

"You have no option but to trust him at this point" Kurama lamely stated and Naruto gave a flat stare inside his mindscape to the giant fox.

'You are trusting an Uchiha? That's new. Had a change of heart did you?'

Kurama growled at him, "I did not have a change of heart nor do I trust the Uchiha you hairless monkey. I the Great Kyuubi no Kitsune would never trust-"

'Sure sure whatever you say' Naruto interrupted his rant of how great the fox was and how his trust in Uchiha. On the Outside, he gave Sasuke a nod to go ahead with his plan.

Sakura and Kakashi and Sakura looked between the two confused, trying to figure out what they are talking about.

Sasuke seeing the nod called out for Kakashi and Sakura, "Kakashi, Sakura get behind me. Usuratonkachi, Let's do this"

"Hell Yeah, Teme!" Naruto Pumped his fist together and flashed toward Kakashi and Sakura and got them behind Sasuke as he started gathering every single bit of chakra remaining. Naruto placed both of his palms on Sasuke's back and gave removed his control over it.

"Teme" Naruto called out. Sasuke understanding he was giving him control, at first was overwhelmed at the amount of chakra Naruto still had left within him. Shaking his head of other thoughts he took control of it in an instant and raised his right palm towards Kaguya.

Chibaku Tensei

Kaguya's eyes grew wide not expecting that attack, stopping her chakra regain from the Shinju. Naruto looked half surprised half confused at the chakra lost and the use of it. This was not what he was expecting as he watched rocks forming around Kaguya as she went to destroy them as they tried to form the barrier.

'At least that stopped her chakra regain' Naruto thought as he looked at Sasuke and then back at Kaguya as a single layer was formed around her. It would not remain of course, then why did Sasuke do it? Looking back at Sasuke, he noticed the few drops of blood on the ground from the corner of his eyes. Confused he stared forwards toward what looked like a black cloud that circled to form a portal. This was not Amenominaka. It was something entirely different. Seeing as Sasuke stopped taking he removed his hands from his back and looked at him standing beside Sasuke. He took note of the blood trailing on Sasuke's face from his left eye, The Fabled Rinnegan.

Looking back up at Kaguya, he saw it was approximately the same size Nagato had used to capture him back in Konoha. But it was growing and breaking at the same time as Kaguya tried to destroy the barrier. Looking back at the Last Uchiha, He saw him moving toward the portal with the rest of the team. Quickly entering with them inside the portal, he saw nothing but darkness and then the next second their previous warzone. The realization came to him in an instant that they have arrived back at their world when he saw the Shinju in the distance.

A coughing sound distracted him from celebrating their return. Turning towards the sound, he saw Sasuke on one knee, a hand around his mouth with blood flowing from it. Sakura was already healing his eye with medical ninjutsu while Kakashi looked at Sasuke in concern.

"Cut the… connection" Sasuke rasped between his coughs.

Giving Kakashi a nod and a last look at Sasuke, Naruto sprinted towards the Shinju with a Rasenshuriken forming in his right hand. In a matter of seconds, he reached the location past the kages and Hagoromo Otsutsuki who gave surprised looks at his presence and threw the deadly technique at the tree cutting it in half.

Breathing a sigh of relief as the tree stopped taking chakra from the captured shinobi, he looked towards the assembled Kage and Super Sage Gramps as they looked at him questioningly.

He turned towards The Sage Of Six Paths and with a sorrowful look explained everything that happened within the past 3 days of their battle. Hagoromo stayed silent and then released every other Kage except Minato Namikaze to the Pureland of Souls. He watched as Minato and Naruto talked with each other and Kakashi and Sakura walked onto the scene while holding Sasuke from both sides.

Sasuke's and Hagoromo's eyes met and The Sage Of Six Paths understood that Indra's reincarnation was smart. Very smart. The portal technique described by Naruto didn't sound like Amenominaka, which meant that the last Uchiha had created his very own Space-Time Technique, one that can bypass his mother's realm. That in itself was a commendable act and showed he had intelligence of the highest caliber. But looking at his condition, Hagoromo grimaced, Tenketsu points burned, chakra reserves bare minimum to keep himself alive and overall physical exhaustion.

Naruto turned toward his team that just arrived and started healing Sasuke as much as he could. He didn't even know what he was healing but let his chakra and intuition do the work. Seeing as Sasuke was slowly returning to normal, he let his chakra do whatever it was doing.

"Indra" Hagoromo slowly started while looking at Sasuke. "You, Sasuke Uchiha, have accomplished a great achievement by creating your Space-Time Technique, one that can bypass my mother's realm, Congratulations." Sasuke just nodded along as he knew that fact while everyone present stared with wide eyes at him, surprised at the feat accomplished. "But there is no time to rest, Even though you have disrupted the connection between the Shinju and Kaguya by trying to seal her within the base Chibaku Tensei Instead of Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei, she will eventually break free of the temporary prison and the battle would restart. You cannot also break the Infinite Tsukuyomi without the chakra of all nine Bijuu. All that you can do now is to regain your strength and wait for her inevitable return." Hagoromo finished with a serious tone while looking at both Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke turned towards each other, similar thoughts running in their heads.

'We have to get stronger in the meantime, to the level of Super Gramps Sage/ Rikudou Sennin and beyond'

Hagoromo seeing the understanding look in their eyes gave them a small smile. Seems like his children will finally get together and work towards a single goal side-by-side instead of fighting against each other to death. His final wish was finally coming true and he couldn't have been happier. Gathering his thoughts together, he would give them a final gift and hope that they would be able to defeat The Rabbit Goddess together upon her return. Sighing, he looked at all of them

"You two have done a great job up until now, stalling time for yourself, preventing your comrades from turning into zetsu, and many more. Due to this, I intend to give you both a last gift." Both Sasuke and Naruto listened intently, this gift would prove beneficial against their round 2 with Kaguya.

"Come Closer and hold out your marks, Naruto, Sasuke" He commanded with a soft tone.

They both followed and held out their marks, The Sun and The Moon respectively. Hagoromo descended and connected their hands with his own, giving them the last gift.

Both Naruto and Sasuke stared with wide eyes at the information influx in their brains. So that was the gift. The knowledge of every ninjutsu, genjutsu, and fuinjutsu that Hagoromo created, discovered, and had in his arsenal, flew into their memories. The technique, the reason, the usage, the damage, the Every Damn Thing, was engraved in their memory. With so much information flowing into their minds, they dropped to their knees, first Sasuke and then Naruto. Minato and the rest of Team 7 rushed toward them to help. With the transfer complete, he gave all of them a last smile, "With that, I helped you in every way I could. I hope you both emerge victorious in your upcoming battle. Take care of the shinobi world and protect the weak and innocent with the power I have bestowed upon your shoulders. May you achieve greater feats and live on towards a happy life."

With his last words said his form flickered away from existence and vanished. Minato looked at his son with pride and sorrow. Pride for the fact they were acknowledged by the Rikudou Sennin himself and sorrow for the fact they had such a big responsibility on their shoulders. He knew of Naruto's dream to become Hokage, the responsibility that comes with being a Hokage. But this, this was greater than being a Hokage ever would. And he was damn proud of it.

Suddenly his form also started to flicker, signally his time in the living realm was up, and he was going to return to Kushina, his wife once again. He smiled sadly as Naruto stood up and looked at him with understanding on his face, trying with his every single bit of will to not let the tears forming at the corner of his eyes fall. He gave him a sad smile and started in proud but ended in a somber tone, "I am proud of you, Naruto. For achieving what you have and what you will. Remember that. And you too young Uchiha, both of you have made me proud as a father and a Hokage, even though I was never there for either of you two. You both have a big responsibility on your shoulders, a responsibility greater than that of a Hokage." Naruto gave a sad nod, with others giving a single nod to his words.

'He grew up so fast.' Minato thought while continuing, "You now have a mission for yourself, defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki and release The Infinite Tsukuyomi. Give it your all to complete it." Turning towards his son, he said his final words that are left to be said before he vanished.

"And Naruto," Said person looked up at him with curiosity filling in his eyes "Happy 17th Birthday."

He finished with a small smile as the final resolve broke and tears flowed down freely from his face. Naruto stepped forward and looked him in the eyes, burning with determination to complete the mission, and held out his hand with a fist. Minato looked at the fist and then at Naruto, "Thanks dad, and I will try my best to complete the mission." he said with resolve. "Take care of Kaa-chan for me and tell her I miss her too"

Minato gave a heartfelt chuckle and fist-bumped with his son for the last time, "Of course." Then giving a nod towards the rest of team 7 and receiving one back from Sasuke and Kakashi, he gave a final small to Naruto and vanished from the plane of existence.

"Happy Birthday, Naruto-Kun" Kakashi said with his signature eye smile. Sakura followed his lead and greeted similarly. Turning towards the Uchiha, he saw him giving a small, genuine smile. "That's new for the Uchiha, and Happy Birthday as well, Gaki " Kurama Commented within the mindscape.
"Usuratonkachi," Naruto had an eyebrow twitching, Sakura and Kakashi gave him strained smiles at that. "Happy Birthday." Sasuke finished with a nod. Naruto looked at all of them and gave his trademark smile, "Thank You all of you, it means a lot to me. But we need to free the rest of the shinobi alliance." Kakashi and Sasuke gave a nod to the idea while Sakure looked confused, "How would we free them? We have the Rinnegan sure but we do not have the chakra of all nine Bijuu."
As if expecting that question, Naruto answered, "Sure thing Sakura-chan, but at least we can remove them from the Shinju's grasp. That way when Kaguya returns, she would have to rely on her chakra only and would not have any backup chakra to use. That way we get the Chakra advantage, too. Since Sasuke can escape her realm and I have Superior chakra after we remove the Shinju, she would have no choice but to fight here in our world where the odds are in our favor." A look of understanding spread across her face and all of them nodded at his plan.

"Very Well, then Sakura will look after Sasuke and heal him up while I and Naruto get on the field and start clearing it off Shinju." Kakashi relayed the plan and all of them got to work.

-roughly 2 years later, a few moments before the battle-

All of team 7 looked at each other one last time as they got ready for the battle. It had been two years and the Chibaku Tensei created by Sasuke had been destroyed. No doubt Kaguya would be appearing any moment now and their battle would begin. All of the shinobi alliance was sleeping in the Fire country in the capital. To ensure their safety Kakashi and Sakura would stay behind while Sasuke and Naruto go back to the remaining stump of Shinju after every root and branch was destroyed, the likely position at which Kaguya would reappear.

Giving their final Goodbyes, Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and noticed that they had grown quite a lot due to their intense training sessions with each other. Sasuke was a bit taller than Kakashi while Naruto was a bit shorter than Jiraiya, his master. Hehe. In the end, it would seem like the shortest academy student was the tallest shinobi present.

Their hair also grew longer as both of them decide not to cut their hair, with Sasuke having a similar hairstyle to Madara Uchiha while Naruto looked like a combination of his father and his master, Minato and Jiraiya. Both of them were wearing standard Konoha jonin uniforms but with grey flak jackets and the Konoha headband around their forehead. Finding their original outfit was difficult when the entire world was asleep.

During the two years, Sasuke grew his physical capacity and chakra reserves while Naruto grew in chakra control, tactics, techniques, and basic shinobi knowledge that he had neglected during his childhood. Meanwhile, Sakura and Kakashi both increased their chakra reserves as well as their physical strength. They were pretty much at the level of Senju Tsunade in that department. Along the way, Kakashi learned Fuinjutsu to the level of a Sealmaster and the Hiraishin for himself.

Placing his hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and giving a last nod towards Kakashi and Sakura they teleported toward Shinju with Naruto using Hiraishin. It didn't take long for The Progenitor of chakra to appear in their world from her temporary prison. She looked pissed if anything gave her expression. All three of them noted the fact that Naruto currently had more chakra than both of them combined, and that was without considering he had superior chakra modes ready to be activated. Sasuke grew a grin on his face while Naruto had a calm look. It was as if both of their mentality had changed, Naruto became more mature while Sasuke became easier going and the life-enjoying guy over the two years. Heh, talk about changes.

On the other hand, Kaguya became even more pissed. First, they had the gall to try and imprison her without even completing their fight. Fucking cowards 'well, they do call themselves shinobi. They don't fight fair.' she had an afterthought. Second, they destroy her nursery and the future Zetsu army. Third, they made her waste chakra to escape the prison while they grew their chakra. 'forkingcowardsofunderhandedtactics'. and lastly, they stood before herselves as if they had already won the fight. She'll show them the might of the rabbit goddess.

Taking into the air Kaguya started with a shower of her most dangerous and powerful attack,

All-Killing Ash Bones

With the majority of its concentration on Naruto, who with the help of Shunshin disappeared from the field while Sasuke awakened his Susanoo, the purple flames of the avatar surrounded him and brought forth the Yata no Kagami given to him by Itachi, for the defense. Seeing her bones get deflected instead of cutting through the purple structure, Kaguya's eyes grew wide and got distracted. Such a thing should have not been possible.

While distracted, she missed the blur of gold beneath her as something brushed against her feet.

Looking down she caught the visage of a mildly blushing Naruto in his Rikudou Sennin Modo looking at her. But why was he blushing? Realization soon came to her and her anger -and embarrassment- shot up. The little shit had taken a sneak peek of her underwear. Sasuke soon understood what was happening and erupted in the iconic Uchiha laughter while holding his stomach, his Susanoo imitating him, and the result? There was a huge purple humanoid cackling at her expense. Both were playing with her? No. Something was happening at her feet, she could feel it. But what did the blond bastard do? She didn't feel any damage or a loss in her chakra. Then what did the infuriating blond bastard do? Ignoring her line of thought she resumed the shower of bones with vigor at both of them, with one dodging and the other deflecting. This was getting out of hand, her chakra reserves were dropping and her opponents were enjoying every single second of it. She couldn't take the surrounding nature chakra because the blond pest was taking up every single drop of it. As if a light bulb, her face brightened and she rushed to the Shinju stump. It would have more than enough chakra for her.

Seeing her retreat towards the remainder of Shinju, they both rushed at her to stop it. Naruto flashed beneath her again and hold her leg. Kaguya looked surprised that he had caught her with such speed, just a few feet away from the Stump of Shinju. She launched the bones at him while he threw her toward Sasuke's general direction and avoided getting touched by the bones. Naruto stayed near the stump to prevent her from regaining the chakra. They had the advantage right now but if she absorbed the stump, they would be equaled again and he had no intention of doing that.

As Kaguya was thrown across the field towards Sasuke he dropped the Susanoo and met her head-on. His Uchiha fire ignited for a dance -as Madara eloquently said- against the goddess. Meeting her midway through the flight he engaged in a taijutsu round against her. Punches given, kicks blocked, feints of techniques used, all in all, it was a beautiful -yet deadly - dance for Naruto.

Sasuke certainly had improved quite a lot to be able to go against the progenitor of chakra for one on one in their two-year training session together. Suddenly bones started to grow in Kaguya's body to decrease the impressive offensive of her opponent and to increase her defense. A random shot of bones would fly out of her body to intercept Sasuke's attack, but he would change mid-strike to another attack. Currently, they were evenly matched against the goddess. 'I wonder how long would that last .' And as predicted Sasuke was getting a bit slower as time went on, almost unnoticeable to the average shinobi -if they could even track their movements- but they were anything but average. Even Kaguya has noticed it would seem, going by the smug smirk on her face. She had regeneration capabilities, but Sasuke did not.

Their eyes locking again, Naruto nodded to Sasuke. In an instant, the punch that was meant for the raven-haired pest was held by the blond-haired pest. She growled at his appearance, growled! The taijutsu round resumed again but even faster, stronger, and more dangerous. Sasuke noted, even after all this time, Naruto seemed to be ahead of him again. But instead of anger, pride surged in his chest this time. His in all but blood brother had become stronger, stronger than him, stronger that the old hag rabbit bitch, stronger than anybody alive. And he couldn't have been prouder of the fact. Immersed in watching their dance with his mismatched eyes, he missed the blob of black at the stump of Shinju. The blob started to grow and finally formed into black Zetsu, who the instant it formed shot forwards toward the Last Uchiha who had yet to sense him.

Naruto was holding himself pretty well against the Rabbit goddess when he sensed chakra behind Sasuke. It had a similar feel to it but he couldn't place it. From the corner of his eyes, he found a new but all too familiar opponent behind Sasuke and it seemed that Sasuke had yet to notice the new presence. What the heck was the Uchiha doing?

"Sasuke! Behind you!" he shouted but it was too late. The set had already reached Sasuke by the time he jumped and turned around. His hand entered his abdomen and passed right through his back. "The scene looks familiar somehow" Kurama idly commented looking through his partner's eyes.

Due to being distracted, he didn't notice the bones flying toward him, no he was worried about his brother's health. Sasuke also seemed to notice the same as Naruto had not yet moved from the incoming projectiles and he was pinned down by Zetsu. This was bad. Shit was going south really fast. No, they cannot die here without killing the rabbit. He had to do something because Naruto had yet to move. What the heck was the Usuratonkachi doing?

Kaguya was Happy. No. She was beyond happy. These two idiots of brothers cared about each other too much and it was going to cost them their lives. She noticed as the closet bone to the blond pantypeakingpest was replaced with the raven pest and all of the rest bone embedded to his back while she reached the stump and started absorbing its remaining chakra.

-current-

Sasuke started coughing globs of blood while naruto actively pumped senjutsu into his brother to negate the bones effect. But there were 13 bones stuck to his back and it was spreading fast. Naruto tried but couldn't stop the tears that fell onto Sasuke's face. His abdomen and the lower half were reduced to ashes and it was quickly reaching his upper body.

Looking into his eyes, Sasuke noted that this was probably the end of the Uchiha. Seems like the Senju won in the end. Sasuke chuckled dryly at the thought, "My body moved on its own…"

As more tears fell down the remainder of the past, Naruto just listened to him, more like couldn't talk in his given state. All because of her. Looking up at the floating goddess and glared at her smug face as she completely absorbed the Shinju and floated above him.

Kurama in the seal was a distressed, sad, and happy mixture of emotions. Distressed because they were going to lose the Rinnegan, sad because he had come to terms with the last Uchiha and had made good memories with him, and partly happy that the accursed eyes will finally be no more. He didn't know which emotion to focus on.

Raising his soon-to-be-gone hands and poking the index and middle finger to Naruto's forehead, Sasuke gave him a struggling smile. "Become the Savior, Otouto. You are the only one capable of doing it." with that the Uchiha clan was no more. All of them are dead. His brother dead, all because he was not faster, he did not move quickly enough, he did not-

"Shut the hell up, gaki. What you did or did doesn't matter right now. Kaguya has returned to her previous chakra level before the fight. Sasuke sacrificed himself and gave you the greatest gift of the Uchiha. Make it count." Kurama bellowed in his seal when Naruto went into self-deprecating. "My siblings are still locked within her, Naruto. You have to fight. Fight for your brother, fight for mine, defeat her, and take revenge for what she took from us."

Hearing that woke up Naruto whose tears had stopped falling, head down to the ground in a vulnerable position. Acting upon the given opportunity, Kaguya shot hundreds and hundreds of bones toward her opponent. That's when she noticed it. Earlier in the fight raven haired pests' chakra was cold and the blond-haired pests' chakra was warm. Much like yin for the raven and yang for the blond. Now the blond-haired pests' chakra grew significantly colder but still retained some of its warmth. Which meant that it is in a yin-yang formation. Her theory was confirmed when purple flames erupted around him and the annoying Yata no Kagami deflected her bones. Still, her eyes grew wide when he looked up at her, A purple Rinnegan with nine tomoe in his left eye socket and Sasuke's unique Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye socket pulsed with raw strength.

'Thank you, Sasuke. I would forever, until my death, cherish the gift you have given me.' Naruto stood up and completely faced his opponent with a lone tear escaping from his right eye.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki." Naruto started in a monotone, "Let us dance for the last time."

'Oh shit, oh shit, not a Madara, do not become a Madara, Naruto.'The Kyuubi no kitsune was genuinely fearing the return of Madara in the form of Naruto, his partner. This is the first he saw that his partner is pissed, really really pissed, at an opponent. The fox just feared the aftermath of this battle.

-At the capital-

Sakura was pacing back and forth due to the feeling of dread that settled in her stomach. Why was she feeling this way? Surely they both will be fine. Yes, they both will be fine. But then why was the feeling not going away? No, they both would be fine. They both will be-

A giant golden nine-tailed fox covered in purple armor with black flames surrounding was suddenly visible. This was large. Heck not large, it was fucking gigantic. How the hell is that even visible from this distance? They were fighting near the border of Kumogakure no Sato and Sunagakure no Sato, the stump of Shinju. Had they moved towards Hi no Kuni in their fight? Now they were beyond the borders of Hi no Kuni, all of the rest shinobi alliance was safe. Turning towards her sensei,

She noticed they both asked the same question,

"Did the Susanoo Armoured Kurama become ever larger?" because that certainly was the case. Naruto and Sasuke-Kun often merged their gigantic techniques for better results. But it was not this HUGE. Surely they were already taller than the mountains before their training -and that was no small size either- but this, this was reaching the Forking skyline! How the hell did this happen? The dread from earlier returned tenfold.

Kakashi took out two of his all-silver tri-pronged kunai, threw one at the ground near Sakura, and addressed her seriously, "Sakura, this is an abnormal sight," Fork yeah it was, a nine-tailed rabbit whose tail-ends were the faces of the rest nine Bijuu quarter the size of the Susanoo clad Kurama fighting each other was an abnormal sight in every right. "I'm going to the warzone to check it out. You stay on guard and protect the rest." Kakashi ordered.

Alright, she can do that. She was no longer the weak link of Team 7. She had grown up and had become stronger, probably the strongest kunoichi alive. But then how was Kakashi-sensei going to re- He then threw the kunai as far as possible and flashed away in silver- oh. 'That works too I guess. Better than having to run across 2 whole countries, but it would be tiring nonetheless.'

Sakura then turned around and started her guard duty, hoping everything would be fine. How wrong she would be.

-At the warzone-

Nine massive Yasaka Magatama flew at insane speed towards the bijuu rabbit form. Holding out a palm, Kaguya absorbed all of the chakras happily. Why wouldn't she be happy? She was gaining her chakra back, -even if she was losing it at the same rate, by attacking the blond-haired pest- taking a wider stance for the next attack and preparing one for herself, she was surprised when the massive avatar vanished in a giant cloud of smoke and nine glowing clones stood at its position holding nine different revolving attacks, made of bijuu chakra she noted. Very well, now she would just absorb the bijuu chakra and her bijuu avatar would grow stronger. In defense, she started creating her attack to at least push back the infuriating blond-haired pest when he disappeared and she got hit at all of her nine tails simultaneously, behind her back.

Roaring in pain at the expected yet unexpected attack, her eyes grew wide as she started losing control of her form and attack which blasted back at her and deformed the avatar largely. All of Naruto's clones started the tug of war for the bijuu chakra once again but with a slight advantage.

The moment they landed on each they started absorbing the chakra into themselves with the help of Rinnegan. At the rate they were absorbing, it was painful. Very much so, but they did it without a sound. Kaguya shrank rapidly at the loss of chakra and could never reestablish control over it again. In a matter of seconds, the rabbit bijuu was broken down and inside of them.

Looking back up, they noticed the rabbit goddess was on the ground breathing heavily, and her Third eye, the Rinne-Sharingan was closed. Nodding to themselves, they popped one by one to transfer the chakra back to the original.
'Kurama…' Naruto appeared in his mindscape, looking at the greatest bijuu as he struggled to keep the chakra of his sibling inside the seal.

"This isn't working Naruto." The Kyuubi said with great difficulty. "The Eight Trigrams seal isn't made to contain the chakra of all the nine bijuu. The way Shinigami applied it to us made it so that only I remain in this seal." Only Kurama? This was problematic. They needed to find a way-

'Only you right? Then absorb them.' Kurama looked weirdly at Naruto. What the hell was gaki think- Oh. Oh.

Kurama looked at Naruto then the giant orbs of chakra of his siblings he was controlling and then the cracks around the mindscape. He had to do it. They had to do it. Giving his partner a nod, Kurama and Naruto started the process of Becoming the Juubi and the Juubi Jinchuriki. Kakashi arrived at the warzone and looked around it after two years. But where were his students? The rabbit goddess? None of them were in sight. What the heck happened? Biting his thumb and going through hand seals in a blur, he slammed down his hands on the ground and summoned his pack of dogs.

"Yo! Kakashi, Long time no see. Did Naruto-Kun and Sasuke-Kun win the battle?" the head, Pakkun asked excitedly for the first time. Looking up at Kakashi and around the area, they were summoned into, that was not the case.

"Same to you Pakkun, but I don't know whether or not they won yet. I need your help to trace their scents and track them down for me." Kakashi eye smiled at the dog. It had been quite a few months since he had summoned them. Pakkun's face adopted a frown. Sniffing around, his eyes grew wide. Looking back at his pack, they also had the same conclusion.

"Kakashi." Pakkun started in a dreadful tone, "There is only the scent of Naruto-Kun in the east. If Sasuke-Kun was here, there is no scent remaining." Kakashi's eyes became wide in surprise, but in a bad surprise. If there is no scent of Sasuke, then he was already-

He shook his head off the thoughts and instead rushed towards Naruto's Location. The mountain range had been torn through, he watched as Kaguya rushed towards Naruto, who was standing still, what the heck was he doing? Bring out his kunai he threw it as far as possible towards Naruto. Something had happened because Kaguya's chakra level was below an average jonin while Naruto's continuously grew at a rapid rate, due to which he was standing still instead of moving. His kunai landed just a few feet in front of Naruto and with lightning forming at his right hand he flashed, hoping he would make it in time.

But in the end, he failed that too. Kaguya had already gutted Naruto from the front through the back and only after the attack did he cut off her hand with Chidori. At the same time, Naruto's eyes snapped open, trailing down towards the limb hanging across his stomach lightly, then towards Kakashi who held Kaguya back. He gave his sensei a small smile, a smile of victory.

Kakashi had tears flowing down his masked face. He failed to save his students again. He looked up as Naruto started floating in the air, his hair turning snow white. His eyes grew wide when he finally noticed Naruto's eyes. A red Rinnegan with nine tomoe on the left, a Purple Rinnegan with six tomoe on his Right. Naruto looked up at the moon held up his hand in the release hand sign and flared his chakra to the max. A heavy pressure settled down around the entire world and then it dispersed. The atmosphere pressure returned to the one it had been before the war. Everything slowed down as Naruto descended toward Kakashi. Naruto truly looked like a god. When he finally touched the surface, his chakra powered down, his left eye closed and his right eye returned to its original cerulean blue. That was surprising. Wasn't it supposed to be black?

"We won Sensei. We won" Naruto said happily as he walked towards him taking out Kaguya's hand and throwing it to the side, his gaping wound started to recover itself with steam releasing as he patched itself. Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and started to move towards him. Looks like he won't have to mourn another of his student.

Seeing as they were distracted and had their guard down completely, Kaguya sprinted, Crashing into Naruto, head-locking him with a surprising speed, and bit as hard as she could into Naruto's left eye. Naruto screamed at the sudden attack and involuntary chakra that entered his Rinnegan. When he reopened his eye, a blinding light appeared. When the light disappeared, There was no sign of Naruto, His Ninken that Caught up to him now, sniffed around to find Naruto's chakra. They found nothing. His attention went towards the sizzling Rabbit Goddess as the sun started to rise from the horizon. He held her up by her royal hime-kimono, and shouted at her, "What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?" He roared at her in rage.

-at the capital-

The resting Shinobi started to wake up from their genjutsu-induced sleep. There were a few groans which later became a large, collective groan as everybody woke up. Sakura turned around in surprise as the sudden chakra pressure subsided and the atmosphere started returning to the way it was before the war. That only meant one thing.

As everyone was looking around them to figure out what was going on, Konoha shinobi slowly started to realize that they were in the Fire Capital, as they remembered their mission bringing them here. But what were they doing here? Weren't they going on with their business, living happily after the war for the last two years? How were they suddenly in the Fire Capital? As if hearing their questions Sakura announced with a large voice,

"WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! THE INFINITE TSUKUYOMI HAS BEEN RELEASED, AND YOU HAVE RETURNED TO THE LAND OF LIVING! WE HAVE FINALLY WON THE WAR AGAINST AKATSUKI AND UCHIHA MADARA!"

As if recollecting memories, everybody's eyes grew wide. Yes, they were in the Fourth Great Shinobi War. They were caught in a genjutsu cast by Uchiha Madara that showed them false dreams. Yes, they started remembering. And as one, everybody started cheering.

"WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!" "WE WON!"

Between their celebration, they remembered they were not on the battlefield. Sakura, sensing their question told them, "Yes, you all are currently in Fire Capital, Hi no Kuni. Sasuke-Kun, Kakashi-Sensei, and Naruto are currently on the battlefield. They would be returning soon as the opponent has been defeated. They didn't know they were fighting against a goddess, but they will soon enough. But for the returning part, out of the three only one flashed in front of the Shinobi Alliance, and he was not looking happy for someone who just won a war.

-at the battlefield-

Kaguya who was melting right now smirked "Activated his Rinne-Sharingan and disrupted the chakra within the eye to launch a random technique. Did a good job of terminating his existence if I say so myself ." With her smug smirk still on her face she melted away into a slime-like substance which was later vaporized with Goukakyu no Jutsu. Kakashi was shaking in rage, Grief, helplessness, and realization of current events. He looked around the warzone. Completely barren, destroyed, and empty save for him and his ninken. As he turned towards the direction of Fire Capital and found the kunai he had dropped earlier, he flashed away with just one thought running inside his mind.

They had won, but at what cost?

Since all of my readers are global I would try to write English alternatives for attacks and try to minimize Japanese usage. I have kind of learned Japanese and watched both the anime in sub form that I don't really know the english alternative.i would try my best to give a glossary of all the Japanese references used at the end of each chapter.

GLOSSARY:-

-Kun =generally used by people of senior status addressing or referring to those of junior status, or it can be used when referring to men in general, male children or male teenagers, or among male friends.

-Chan = Chan expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. In general, -chan is used for young children, close friends, babies, grandparents and sometimes female adolescents. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, or youthful women. Chan is not usually used for strangers or people one has just met.

-Ninjutsu = in simple words Ninja Arts. sometimes used interchangeably with the modern term ninpō (忍法), is the martial art strategy and tactics of unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare and espionage purportedly practised by the ninja.

-Genjutsu = literal meaning, Reality. Illusion Arts for this story

-Fuinjutsu = Sealing Arts

-HIraishin= Flying Thunder God

-Chidori= a thousand birds

-Yasaka Magatama= Yasaka Magatama is a technique that Susanoo users can use from any of its hands. Due to its structure, it acts in a similar manner to that of a shuriken when thrown by Susanoo — rapidly spinning towards the intended target — and results in an explosion upon impact.

-Susanoo= Susanoo is a gigantic, humanoid avatar made of the user's chakra which surrounds them and fights on their behalf, that has been handed down throughout all the generations of the Uchiha Clan. It is the strongest ability available to those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in both eyes

-Amenominaka= Using her Rinne Sharingan, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki replaces the world around her with one of her personal dimensions; everyone near Kaguya at the time will experience the same change of place. Unlike most space–time ninjutsu, where users move themselves to a destination, Kaguya moves the destination to herself. To relocate such large dimensions requires an immense amount of chakra, so much so that only Kaguya is able to do so.

-ninken= Ninja Dogs

-Hi no Kuni= Land of Fire

-Kumogakure no Sato= Village Hidden by Clouds

-Sunagakure no Sato= Village Hidden by Sand

-Shinigami- Shinigami are Kami that invite humans toward death in certain aspects of Japanese religion and culture.

That was all for the glossary. If you had trouble understanding something or have any questions, please leave a comment so that I could respond and improve my writing skills.

I am glad that you are satisfied with my writing, I truly appreciate your efforts to leave a comment.

And that's it for the intro. It was a bit longer and took me around 3 edits to actually post this chapter. Who knew expressing your imagination in words would be so time-consuming? yeah no shit.

Btw I intentionally Replaced Fuck with Fork for pure amusement purposes. ;)
