October 10th 2008:

The hot rays of luminous sunlight illuminated the atmosphere and sector around Prometheus. He was seated down on a wooden-bench within the outskirts of a rather sequestered park in a small town.

Prometheus leaned his head back and gazed at the grey-coloured clouds above his hooded head. A small smile of peace graced Prometheus' features until he noticed a crowd of six mortals.

Huffing to himself in unconcealed annoyance, Prometheus ignored the group of humans and listened to the sound of nature. Wind blew into his ears while sunlight touched his scar-covered flesh. His smile grew.

"Once I seal the Kyuubi into myself." Prometheus mused. He chuckled. "I shall reconstruct this entire planet to how I see fit…"

He climbed to his feet and slipped his unsmooth hands into his pockets. Brown particles of divine-energy surrounded his form before he disappeared in a vicious hurricane. "Naruto Uzumaki shall die."

"That much I promise myself…"

Toneri Otsutsuki and Luke Castellan were seated down on two of the wooden-chairs constructed in the isolated depths of the central-room of Hecate's enormous and decorative castle.

"I don't think I've had the pleasure of speaking to you." Toneri sipped his tea and smiled. "I am Toneri Otsutsuki—heir to the Tenseigan."

"My name is Luke Castellan." Luke's smooth baritone possessed a frustrated inflection. "I really don't give a crap about your name."

"How hurtful." Toneri planted a sardonic hand onto his solar-plexus. "Am I not one of your cherished allies? Your attitude wounds me."

"Enough of your worthless sarcasm." Luke growled. "We share the common goal of annihilating Naruto Uzumaki and taking the fox."

"I do not care about the Kyuubi nor this blue-eyed child." Toneri tapped his closed eye. "All I desire is the complete power of my Tenseigan."

Luke slapped a calloused palm down on the table in the central-room. "Are you even powerful enough to defeat that damn monster, huh?!"

"You call Naruto Uzumaki a monster, hm?" Toneri hummed. "How interesting. To me, he is nothing more than a walking cadaver."

"You haven't answered my question!" Unadulterated aggression fueled Luke's loud voice. "I doubt you stand a chance against that monster!"

"Why are you so prudent about his power?" Toneri arched a curious eye-brow before he chuckled. "Were you defeated by him?"

"I was defeated by him." Luke clenched an enraged fist. Anger glistened in the blue of his fervent gaze. "I want to obliterate him!"

"Obliterate him?" Toneri took another calm sip of his hot tea. "How shall you obliterate him if he has already defeated you once?"

"I can't obliterate him myself." Luke pointed at Toneri: who blinked in blatant amusement. "That's why you're helping us out, right?!"

"I've told you." An irritated sigh escaped Toneri's mouth. "Hecate shall provide me the full power of my Tenseigan if I help your lord out."

"Whatever." Luke rolled his luminous and azure eyes. "Once Naruto has been infected by the Suppression-Rune, you'll slaughter him."

"I've already been notified about your intriguing plan by Prometheus." Toneri smirked. "He spoke of your impressive skills and abilities."

"None of that is important right now!" Luke shouted in absolute frustration. "Where the heck are those two? We're wasting time!"

"Calm yourself, Luke Castellan."

Hecate sauntered into the central-room alongside Prometheus: who had a peaceful countenance on his scar-covered features. Prometheus clapped his coarse hands. "Thank you all for coming!"

"No more riddles and puzzles, Prometheus!" Luke yelled and clicked his teeth. "When the hell are we starting the first phase of our plan?"

Prometheus glanced down at Luke—unimpressed. Luke recoiled in agony at the touch of Prometheus' rough hand on his shoulder. "Please remain patient, young Castellan. We have much to discuss."

The goddess of magic grunted. "I have constructed a magical-realm where Toneri and a weakened Naruto Uzumaki will battle it out."

Pure pleasure inundated Prometheus' gentle soprano. "Excellent! When Toneri has defeated him, we will take the Kyuubi for our lord."

"Of course." Hecate gazed at Toneri and stretched a pale palm forward. "We shall stick to the agreement between us."

A pink stream of endless mana flooded the cold air inside of the central-room of the gargantuan palace. Toneri gasped in pain as the torrent of magic invaded his eye-socket. He groaned. "My eye!"

Toneri knocked his chair backwards and stumbled into the table, throwing it into one of the walls in the room. The Otsutsuki let out a triumphant cheer of laughter. "At last! A full-powered Tenseigan!"

Hecate and Prometheus could feel the abundant amounts of chakra Toneri had procured from the full-power of his anomalous Dojutsu. Toneri's face was nonchalant. "Naruto Uzumaki shall perish."

"Perfect." Prometheus smiled. His smile morphed itself into a smirk of perpetual malevolence. "Toneri. Give me passage into Shinto territory."

"It would be my pleasure."

(-)

An indiscernible outline rushed through the secluded alleyways of the gargantuan city of Tokyo. Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth at the sight of a familiar silhouette. Blue eyes twisted into crimson pits of malice.

Prometheus turned around to face Naruto—a somewhat polite smile grafted onto his scar-covered visage. He gave Naruto a little wave. "How have you been since our last encounter, Naruto Uzumaki?"

Naruto ignored Prometheus, gritted his sharpened teeth for a second time, growled, and bent his knees before he was stopped when a pale palm tapped his shoulder. "Calm yourself, you moron."

Another concealed outline emerged from the shadows of the alleyway. Sasuke Uchiha gandered towards Prometheus: who clasped his hands in feigned surprise. "You must be the elusive Sasuke Uchiha!"

"I sensed his presence three minutes ago." Naruto murmured. His bright eyes glinted vermillion. "I'm going to take care of him."

"How have you entered Shinto territory?" Sasuke tilted his head at a contemplative angle. "You are a deity from a different pantheon."

"An Otsutsuki granted me passage into Shinto Territory." Prometheus responded and chortled. "My! I can feel your endless power, Uchiha!"

"He hasn't complimented me this much." Naruto grouched in confusion. "Whatever. Why the hell are you in Tokyo, scar-face?"

"Scar-face?" Prometheus stroked his shaved beard and shook his head—disappointed. "Such a generic nickname, Naruto Uzumaki."

"Shut the hell up!" Naruto shouted—true rage evident within the unnerved depths of his voice. "Now, answer the damn question!"

"Why am I in Tokyo?" Prometheus hummed before he glared at Naruto in distaste. "I have come to kill you and extract the fox, of course!"

"Why must you create so many unique enemies?" Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose. "I suppose the two of us shall have to end him."

"Your confidence amuses me." Prometheus pressed a hand down onto the concrete. "You shall not be helping your friend, Uchiha!"

Prometheus disappeared into a crimson portal while a pink portal opened beneath Naruto: who felt the obsidian sigil on his hand pulse for the briefest of minutes. The portal dragged him into itself.

Sasuke dove into the portal and followed Naruto from above. They rolled downwards until the two of them landed on a cold surface—this surface was covered in dirt and shriveled grass. The clouds were red.

Naruto and Sasuke climbed to their feet. Neither of them spoke to each-other until they heard the sound of unconcealed foot-steps. Three individuals walked out from the pink-tinted fog of the dimension.

"How unexpected." Hecate touched a gentle hand onto her cheek. "Sasuke Uchiha…I can't believe you jumped through that portal."

"That was a foolish decision." Luke cracked his knuckles. Motes of mana leaked out from his body. "I can't handle any-more than this."

"You proved me wrong, Sasuke Uchiha." Prometheus chuckled. "I've studied about you and Naruto Uzumaki. I learned about your strength."

Prometheus' luminous eyes glowed an ominous brown. "They say yours and Naruto Uzumaki's powers combined can destroy the world."

"I doubt that's true." Luke flexed his mana-enhanced fingers in anticipation. "Naruto Uzumaki! I swear we will annihilate you!"

"You defeated me last time." Luke's blue eyes were deluged by unadulterated belligerence. "I will not lose a second time!"

Naruto disregarded all three of them and turned to Sasuke. A somewhat prudent expression decorated Naruto's whiskered features. "I sense someone powerful in the distance. Can you handle them?"

"Who do you take me for?" Sasuke smirked at Naruto and slid his hands into his pockets. "I can handle these three, you moron."

"Ah. Ah. Ah." Prometheus interrupted them. He wagged a finger in their direction. "I still have to impart this gift onto the two of you."

Sasuke and Naruto glanced at the mana-constructed pen in front of them—this pen illustrated a brown-coloured pattern of shapes onto their palms. Their eyes widened in annoyance. "Sasuke…"

"Our chakra has been sealed." Sasuke clicked his tongue. "Is this the special rune you told me about? Your new foes are impressive."

"Thank you for the praise." Hecate raised a finger to her lips. "Now. Can you stay silent so that we can slaughter you without trouble?"

"Kurama?" Naruto glared at his three opponents and gritted his teeth. "They've severed the mental connection between Kurama and I…"

"Can you still access Kyuubi-Chakra-Mode?" Sasuke grunted. "I have to hand it to these three. They have planned this all out rather well."

Annoyance glistened within the azure depths of Naruto's beautiful gaze. "Nope. I can't access Kurama's chakra at all. How about you?"

"This Suppression-Rune has sealed off all of my chakra." Sasuke chuckled. "What now, you three? Shall you kill Naruto and I?"

"We have no issues against you, Sasuke Uchiha." Prometheus smiled. "However, if you remain an obstacle between the Kyuubi and us."

Sasuke blocked a mana-enhanced punch from Prometheus. A powerful shockwave manifested itself from their clash for dominance. Roundhouse kicking Prometheus, Sasuke hurtled him backwards.

Prometheus crashed into an enormous oak-tree inside of the dimension and let out an impressed hum. Aureate blood streamed out from his wounded temples. "I was right about you, Sasuke Uchiha."

Brown motes of mana surrounded Prometheus' body as he enhanced all of his muscles. Sasuke flipped backwards, twirled around, and landed on the top of a tree-branch. He smirked. "Right about what?"

The titan of forethought bent his knees and propelled himself towards Sasuke: whose features remained impassive. Prometheus screamed. "You are also another creature of monstrous power, are you not?!"

"Even without the ability to use any of his chakra, Sasuke Uchiha is capable of fighting against my mana-enhanced blows. Such tremendous strength. He and Naruto Uzumaki are the blessed ones!"

Sasuke leaped off the tree-branch of the oak-tree and cartwheeled forward. Prometheus embedded a mana-empowered punch into Sasuke's abdomen. Blood spurted out from the Uchiha's mouth.

Naruto rushed towards Sasuke: who grabbed onto his stomach. Amusement illuminated Prometheus' brown-tinted irises. The divine-man laughed. "You two stand no chance against us now."

The Uzumaki grunted. "Sasuke. Can you still use your creepy eyes?"

"No." Sasuke responded and spat out a third puddle of blood onto the soil-covered surface. "This rune has deprived us of all abilities."

"Except for our physical strength." Naruto flexed his biceps, grinning. "I don't think that will be enough to defeat the fourth member of their team."

"Where is the fourth member of your little squad?" Naruto's childish grin transmuted itself into a sardonic one. "Is he hiding from us?"

"Not at all." Hecate clasped her hands behind her back. "The fourth member of our group is adjusting to his new abilities and strength."

"No more talking!" Luke shouted and disappeared in an indiscernible distortion. He laughed. "It's time for us to slaughter you, Uzumaki!"

Stepping forward, Sasuke bashed a ruthless punch into the middle of Luke's handsome face. Luke head-butted the Uchiha right in the nose—snapping his head backwards at a somewhat awkward angle.

Sasuke directed his head forward, clenched both of his fists, let out a breath of unadulterated indifference, smirked, and drove his knuckles into Luke's solar-plexus. Agony erupted throughout Luke's body.

"This type of pain is nothing!" Luke screamed and axe-kicked Sasuke in the head. "You and Naruto Uzumaki are worthless creatures!"

The Uchiha was propelled downwards. Luke followed him, materializing a stream of mana out from his hands—this stream of mana wrapped around Sasuke in the form of a yellow-tinged rope.

Sasuke bulged his biceps to break out from the rope. Luke slammed his foot into the ground and grabbed onto a large chunk of solidified soil. He pulled Sasuke towards himself, shaking his head—amused.

"This spell is one of my own creation." Luke clenched a triumphant fist. "The more you try to break out from it, the stronger it becomes!"

"What a generic technique." Sasuke flexed his biceps for a fourth futile time. "What other spells do you have at your disposal? Or is this all?"

"Shut the hell up." Luke smirked. "I'm not dumb enough to dispel my magical rope to use my other spells against you, Sasuke Uchiha."

Luke tugged on his mana-constructed rope one more time and slammed Sasuke into the chunk of solidified soil. Lacerations opened up across Sasuke's flesh. Sasuke was unimpressed. "How dull…"

"Your confidence isn't impressing anyone!" Luke's smooth baritone had an outraged inflection. "You are powerless right now, Uchiha!"

Sasuke appeared behind Luke within a simple distortion. The demi-god gandered in his direction before he slapped a mana-inflated palm into Sasuke's solar-plexus. He blinked in unrestrained shock.

His palm-strike had been caught by Sasuke: who arched an unimpressed eye-brow. Sasuke glanced down at the Suppression-Rune on his hand. "How long will this last for?"

Luke breathed in unhidden fatigue. "What is taking Toneri so long? This rune was designed to last for a short fifty minutes. Where is he?"

(-)

Naruto ducked his head down low and sensed a multitude of mana-constructed weapons fly over him. Prometheus stretched a scar-covered palm forward. Mana twinkled on the tips of his fingers.

Flipping forward, Naruto landed in front of Prometheus before he flicked a powerful flick into the temple of his head. The titan of forethought chuckled. "That will not be enough to defeat me, child."

Prometheus created an average amount of distance between Naruto and himself. He clasped his calloused hands in an unfamiliar hand-sign. "I'm impressed your physical power can match mine."

Naruto gazed downwards and felt the ground tremble. Small cracks formed beneath his feet. From these cracks—geysers of pure air erupted out from the surface. Prometheus squinted his eyes forward.

The Uzumaki smirked in endless anticipation. Prometheus casted a second hand-sign—manipulating the geysers of air into multiple cylinders. He pointed a finger forward. "Wind-Magic: Cylinder-Cyclone!"

Prometheus followed his wind-constructed cylinders from behind. A laugh of perpetual pleasure and gratitude escaped Prometheus' mouth. "Thank you, Naruto Uzumaki! You have helped me grow!"

Another hand-sign was cast by Prometheus. The wind-constructed cylinders expanded until they were the size of ten mountains. "The Suppression-Rune should only last for another five seconds."

"Hecate!" Prometheus bellowed out into the open air. "I implore you to enhance my Cylinder-Cyclone spell before the rune disappears!"

Prometheus covered himself in a layer of mana as an unseeable Hecate enhanced his spell beyond its normal parameters. The titan materialized behind Naruto—smacking a fist into the back of his head.

Naruto was propelled into the gargantuan wind-constructed cylinders—these cylinders consumed the Uzumaki and the environment around him. A powerful explosion of mana was set off.

The immediate vicinity was torn apart into nothing. Massive chunks of soil, dirt, and grass flew through the atmosphere. All of the enormous trees and mountains within the distance had been obliterated.

A tremor rattled throughout the entirety of the realm constructed by the goddess of magic. The obsidian-coloured Sun rippled for the briefest of seconds while the crimson-tinted clouds and skies trembled.

Prometheus panted in unconcealed exhaustion and sank down to one of his knees. Ichor streamed out from his mouth. He had a pleased and vicious smile on his scar-covered face. "He has met his demise."

Hecate revealed herself to him and clapped her pale hands—amazed. The complete destruction around her attested to Prometheus' power. She hummed. "You have grown in power. I'm rather impressed."

"Naruto Uzumaki is dead." Prometheus murmured. Unadulterated excitement brightened his voice. "The Kyuubi is ours to steal!"

"Indeed." Hecate nodded. "The two of us were lucky that the Suppression-Rune lasted long enough to land that powerful spell."

"How are Luke Castellan and Sasuke Uchiha?"

(-)

Luke stumbled out from his mana-constructed barricade. Pain pulsed throughout his muscles and organs. Blood burst forth from his lips in a river of vermillion. He climbed to his feet and let out a harsh cough.

His azure eyes widened in astonishment at the perpetual amount of destruction around him. Traces of Prometheus' mana were left in the atmosphere. Luke mumbled. "I doubt Sasuke Uchiha survived all that."

The demi-god glanced in a random direction and raised a confused eye-brow at the sight of a purple-coloured mass of energy. Luke staggered back in shock when the purple creature disappeared.

"You survived?!" Luke growled in outrage and disbelief. "You damn Shinobi! Why the hell can't you let yourself die?! You're stubborn!"

Sasuke deactivated his Susanoo while his Eternal-Mangekyo-Sharingan glistened a crimson light. An unamused expression graced Sasuke's pale features. "That rune has worn off."

Luke gasped at the touch of Sasuke's knee against his abdomen. Sasuke grabbed onto his neck and drove him downwards into one of the craters from the results of Prometheus' powerful spell.

Aureate particles of mana escaped from Luke's fingers as he reached for Sasuke: who head-butted him in the nose. Sasuke tossed him out from the crater and landed on the destroyed grass. "Your name?"

"Luke Castellan." The demi-god coughed in unconcealed exhaustion. "Why the hell would you ask me such a pointless question?"

Sasuke ignored him and blurred forward. Luke directed his azure gaze towards his right—where the Uchiha had appeared. The collar of his yellow shirt was grabbed before Sasuke threw Luke into the air.

Luke positioned himself downwards. Sasuke materialized himself beneath him and tugged on his ankle, hurtling Luke back down into the ground. The child of speed crashed against a few destroyed trees.

"Come on!" Sasuke let out a somewhat psychotic yell—one of his old personality traits that had resurfaced. "Is that all you have for me?"

The Uchiha rolled onto the ground, jumped to his feet, and blurred towards a prone Luke: whose blue eyes widened. Mana manifested out from his entire body. "I won't lose now! Not to you of all people!"

Sasuke materialized himself in front of Luke and roundhouse kicked him in the direction of the obliterated mountains. Luke ignored the strain on his organs and clasped his hands. "I won't be beaten!"

Luke conjured a gargantuan version of the Condensed-Cube spell into the atmosphere around them. Blood poured out of his lips. Tremors racked his muscles. Agony flared within all of his organs. "Take this!"

The child of Hermes raised his hands and directed the gigantic variation of the Condensed-Cube onto Sasuke. Luke watched his spell engulf the Uchiha until a burst of chakra crackled throughout the air.

Sasuke emerged from the aureate particles of the destroyed Condensed-Cube—the Uchiha had an impressed smirk on his pale face. Indifference was evident in his gaze. "Almighty-Pull."

Luke was gripped onto by a telekinetic energy and was dragged towards Sasuke: who buried a chakra-enhanced fist into his stomach. Luke closed his eyes in bitter acceptance as he was hurtled down.

An incredible sonic-boom rippled throughout the entire sector once his body had crashed into the destroyed concrete. A silhouette stood next to him. Sasuke smirked. "You have the potential to grow stronger."

Luke was knocked out against the obliterated concrete underneath him. Sasuke squinted his eye and gazed at the powerful burst of aureate and sapphire chakra in the distance. "Naruto…"

"He's probably getting started right about now."

(-)

Prometheus staggered backwards in endless amounts of denial and disbelief. Hecate was somewhat surprised and shocked. Naruto Uzumaki was seated down on the annihilated concrete—unbothered.

Naruto climbed to his feet, stretched his arms, rolled his shoulders, cracked his neck, tilted his head, bounced on the balls of his feet for twenty seconds, and hummed. "That was pretty powerful, huh?"

"Impossible!" Prometheus shouted in another bout of denial and disbelief. "How could you have survived such a powerful technique?!"

"Simple." Naruto shrugged. Nonchalance illuminated his sapphire-coloured gaze. "I was able to avoid those cylinders in time."

"Such incredible speed and agility." Hecate mused to herself and smiled. "I was confident that Prometheus had ended your life."

"I won't deny how strong his technique was." Naruto grinned. "The connection between Kurama and I has also been restored!"

The Uzumaki crouched down into the stance of an unhinged boxer and disappeared in a crimson distortion. Prometheus coughed out blobs of blood as Naruto punched him ten times in the abdomen.

Prometheus' shoulder was grabbed onto by Naruto: who propelled him into a destroyed sector. Channelling his mana out into the open air, Prometheus summoned twenty mana-constructed weapons.

Naruto flew through the atmosphere and slammed his chakra-enhanced knuckles into Prometheus' face. A loud crack was produced from his nose. The titan healed his shattered nose.

Flicking a coarse hand towards Naruto, Prometheus hurled all of his mana-constructed weapons in the Uzumaki's direction. A Rasenshuriken constructed itself onto Naruto's calloused palm.

The Uzumaki drilled his Rasenshuriken into the magical-weapons and dissolved them into particles of beige-tinted mana. Clapping his hands, Prometheus called for the last vestiges of his magical-power.

"Fire-Magic!" Prometheus produced a passionate shout from his mouth. "Streams of the flames from misery! Take this technique!"

Rivers of vermillion fire shot themselves over at Naruto and morphed themselves into various shapes—spikes and triangles for example. Naruto stretched a hand forward. "Kurama, you still sleeping?"

"Indeed I am." A sardonic laugh echoed throughout the isolated depths of Naruto's head. "Stop bothering me and concentrate."

Naruto materialized a Lava-Style: Rasenshuriken onto his palm and aimed it for Prometheus' form until he was stopped by a turquoise outline. He chuckled. "I was wondering when you'd join this fight!"

Toneri Otsutsuki hovered in front of an amused Naruto. His body was decorated by the cloak of the Tenseigan-Chakra-Mode. The Tenseigan brightened the realm. "Silver-Wheel-Reincarnation-Explosion!"

A Truth-Seeking-Orb manifested itself into Toneri's hand—this Truth-Seeking-Orb had been flattened into a circle. Toneri covered it in a chakra-constructed hurricane. He slammed it into Naruto's body.

The Uzumaki rolled downwards and crashed into an enormous crater. Climbing out from the ditch in the concrete, Naruto sprinted forward and leaped back into the air. "What type of Dojutsu is that…?"

Naruto grabbed onto Toneri's ankle and dragged him down while Prometheus vacated the sector alongside Hecate. The Otsutsuki summoned more of his Truth-Seeking-Orbs and laughed.

"I've heard about you, Naruto Uzumaki!" Toneri shouted in glee. "I shall be the one to destroy you! My name is Toneri Otsutsuki!"

"He's going crazy because of his new abilities." Naruto clenched his fists. His sapphire eyes morphed into yellow abysses. "I have a plan!"

Toneri was bashed into the ground by Naruto before he flew up and followed the Uzumaki from behind. Naruto had activated Sage-Of-Six-Paths-Mode. He grinned. "Why don't you come down?!"

"If you insist!" Unadulterated malice permeated from Toneri's smooth baritone. "I've noticed you've called for the power of your blessings!"

Naruto disregarded Toneri and engaged him in a match of pure hand-to-hand combat. Slamming his head into Toneri, Naruto gripped onto his shoulder and threw him backwards into a row of huge stones.

An aureate arm of chakra grabbed onto Toneri, bringing the Otsutsuki back to Naruto: who smacked a six-paths-chakra kick into Toneri's nose. Toneri's Tenseigan flickered for the briefest of seconds.

The Uzumaki appeared behind Toneri, watching as he turned around and aimed a powerful punch for his solar-plexus. A raised palm blocked Toneri's knuckles before he was roundhouse kicked.

Toneri expanded his Truth-Seeking-Orb into a shield to parry Naruto's roundhouse kick and drove a punch straight into his chin. Naruto's head snapped backwards at an unnatural and inhuman angle.

"This Toneri is impressive." Kurama's guttural voice echoed inside of Naruto's head. "He's learning Taijutsu by mimicking your moves."

An axe-kick from Toneri thrust Naruto into the destroyed trunk of a tree. Emerging forth from the tree-trunk, the Uzumaki's fist drifted onto Toneri's chest. Toneri endured the punch. "How weak can you be?!"

Naruto ignored all of Toneri's yells until Toneri smacked his knee into his abdomen. A small amount of blood leaked out from Naruto's mouth. He smiled. "Man. You're growing stronger while we fight."

A Truth-Seeking-Orb materialized above Naruto and was covered by a turquoise glow of chakra. Naruto flicked his leg up, kicking the Truth-Seeking-Orb into the middle of nowhere. Toneri scowled.

The Uzumaki threw his fist forward. Toneri lifted his palm to block—but groaned in unconcealed agony as he was kneed in the abdomen. Naruto drilled him against a boulder and grunted. "This is fun!"

"I wonder how Sasuke is..."

(-)

Sasuke slipped his pale hands into his pockets and watched Prometheus' outline land down in front of him. A rather pleased smile graced his scar-covered features. He gave Sasuke a polite bow.

"I apologize for intruding on you at this hour." Prometheus chuckled. "Would it be too much trouble for me to take back young Castellan?"

The Uchiha blurred forward and aimed a chakra-enhanced kick for Prometheus' solar-plexus. Blood poured down his chin. Prometheus' entire body trembled. "You and your friend truly are monsters."

Prometheus leaned backwards. An explosion of mana was produced from both of his hands as it engulfed Sasuke: whose Rinnegan let out a telekinetic pulsation. The explosive burst of magic was scattered.

Sasuke garnered electricity into his hand and unleashed a powerful Chidori upon Prometheus, propelling him ten meters back. An elbow to the abdomen had Prometheus folding in on himself. He coughed.

An indiscernible distortion appeared next to him. Sasuke smacked his forearm into Prometheus' neck. Running through a number of hand-signs, Sasuke shot a large sphere of flames forward.

Prometheus called for his divine-energy and erected a shield around himself. Dispelling his barricade, he sauntered ten feet across the sector before a punch was embedded into the back of his head.

Mana erupted from Prometheus' hand as he stretched them out towards Sasuke: who hammered a front-kick onto his abdomen. Prometheus had one thought in his head. "He is skilled."

"Sasuke Uchiha is different from Naruto Uzumaki in fighting-styles, Ninjutsu, and even personality. One is calm and composed, whereas another is rambunctious and boisterous. I am impressed by them."

Sasuke channelled chakra throughout his arm and buried his forearm into Prometheus' face. A smooth crack-type sound was produced from his entire skull. The titan of forethought regenerated his cranium.

The Uchiha clicked his teeth and sensed Prometheus' presence from behind. A mana-inflated kick touched Sasuke's back and propelled him back. Clenching a fist, Sasuke punched Prometheus' nose.

Sasuke grunted and performed several hand-signs. "Fire-Style: Great-Fire-Ball Jutsu." Indifference illuminated his features.

Prometheus let out a breath of unadulterated exhaustion. Most of his energy had been depleted in his last two fights. Disappearing through a crimson portal, he smiled. "I hope to meet you again soon!"

(-)

An endless explosion of chakra rippled across the atmosphere of the somewhat destroyed realm. Naruto crouched down while Toneri flicked his fist forward. Grinning, Naruto head-butted his chest.

Truth-Seeking-Orbs flared to life around Naruto. Toneri smacked a Silver-Wheel-Reincarnation-Explosion into the Uzumaki: who withstood the hurricane of chakra and chuckled. "Is that everything?"

"Not at all!" Toneri grinned and summoned three Truth-Seeking-Orbs—all at once. "My three techniques!"

"Golden-Wheel-Reincarnation-Explosion!"

"Localised-Reincarnation-Explosion!"

"Silver-Wheel-Reincarnation-Explosion!"

An incredible inundation of chakra overwhelmed the atmosphere within the synthetic dimension. Everything around Naruto and Toneri trembled and shuddered. The Otsutsuki let out a huff of exertion.

"Take all three of these techniques, Naruto Uzumaki!"

『Toneri Otsutsuki had underestimated the unbridled power of Naruto Uzumaki. This particular member of the Otsutsuki-Clan would witness the power of the strongest Shinobi in history…』

Toneri observed his three most powerful Ninjutsu engulf Naruto's body and the entire dimension. The realm around him began to crumble from his power until he felt Naruto's presence. "How did he survive?"

Naruto stretched his palm forward and slammed a Lava-Style: Rasenshuriken—enhanced by Sage-Of-Six-Paths-Mode—into Toneri: who was propelled through one of the many cracks in the realm.

Sasuke appeared behind Naruto and grabbed onto his shoulder. His Rinnegan pulsed as he opened a portal beneath them. Naruto and Sasuke were transported into the office of Sasuke's business.

Sasuke possessed an indifferent expression. "It's time for us to discuss about what happened."

Naruto sighed. "Fine."

He was a little exhausted.

A/N: Thanks for reading.
