CyberTech Worlds Clash
Chapter LXII
Doomsday!
Naruto led his team of ninja to the boarder of Lightning and Rock, and would have just shot straight over if he hadn't been halted by Asuma as he stood in his way quickly, shaking his head.
"We can't just enter Rock territory without inciting war!" Asuma said quickly before Naruto bolted around him. "We're already in Lightning Country, which could be bad enough if we're caught, and we weren't facing to enter Rock."
Naruto frowned, shaking his head. "Earth Country won't have any ninja left if we don't intervene now!" he replied coldly. "There are over five hundred ninjas engaging, and another few thousand on route. The engaging ninja are getting slaughtered at a rate that is getting faster the longer they fight. They might have stood a better chance if I had not already hit the bastard monster with one of my most powerful techniques!"
"You mean you have more like that?" Shikamaru couldn't help but ask with his mouth hanging open.
"No, dude," Naruto replied to their relief. "I have a few bigger and badder than that, and with access to the Kyuubi's power, bigger and badder went from 'oh my shits', to 'ahh help me mama' and plenty of wet pants!" he said with a giant grin full of smug, and not noticing that it was only Hinata that hadn't paled but looked forward to seeing Naruto's new attacks.
"Naruto-sama is special like that!" Hinata said with an impish smile. She was too busy admiring the blonde boy to notice any weird looks she received or she would have been blushing deeper than she already was.
"Anyway," Naruto interrupted pointing to his whirlpool forehead protector with a giant smug grin. "I'm not a Konoha ninja anymore, so I can go where in the hell I want, so you stay here and I'll go on ahead! I won't stand here debating this any longer, because talking can prevent wars, talking can also take too freaking long and by the time you think to do something, it's too late! I have to take into consideration the risk to life if I stay back when I could be helping those idiots retreat."
Asuma was about to retort when Naruto suddenly slid round him and shot off into 'enemy' territory. They just watched after Naruto, as he was soon gone.
"A-Arisia, stay here, I'll stay with Naruto!" Fides said quickly to a return nod as she flew after their hunky blonde boy.
"Hinata...-!" Asuma reprimanded as she went to follow anyway.
"Umm... I'm a whirlpool ninja too!" she said as she surprisingly pulled a new headband out of her pocket and replaced it with her Konoha band, throwing that to the floor before giving chase.
"Ooo-kay!" Asuma muttered while looking concerned. "This hasn't happened to me before," he said to the others as he picked up Hinata's, Konoha headband.
"Yep, me too," Tenten said as she threw her old headband to Asuma and pulled on a new Whirlpool headband, and she chased after Hinata and Fides.
"We'll have to wait, Asuma-sensei!" Shikamaru said. "No matter how much Naruto makes sense, we can't risk breaching the border just yet... not until our force is in full at any rate."
Meanwhile Naruto dodged a few kunai as he ran across a few straggling Iwa ninja. "Turn back... we won't tell you again. Our borders are closed!" the lead jonin said coolly.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Don't make me come over there to kick your arses you three, because I will," Naruto said looking unconcerned. "If you hadn't noticed all of your forces will be obliterated without help. I have an army pulling up to the borders. Once they have amassed in full, they will be crossing no matter what. If we do not stop Doomsday, we are all screwed! Not just you. It will be the end of everything."
"What do you know about the monster?!" the lead jonin demanded, but paused as Fides turned up a moment later followed by Hinata and Tenten.
"Wow Hinata-chan, Ten-chan, looking good in your new forehead protectors!" Naruto said smiling as he turned to his girlfriends with a grin, completely turning his back on the Iwa ninja. "Fides... what about the rest of the team...?" he asked her, curious.
"I can keep in contact through Arisia," she said as she landed with them. "But I don't think they'll be coming without the rest of the forces. They're military. They'll follow orders unless left with no alternative. That is just how they have been raised. They're afraid of starting a war. They do not grasp the magnitude of what Doomsday is capable. They do not understand that he could destroy this whole planet after destroying all life on it. They have never had to imagine what that would be like. The horror of such a being, no matter how powerful the nine tailed beasts may have been, they had never thought they would all die along with their world."
Naruto nodded his head. "I will do everything within my power to stop Doomsday... I want to put him down forever if I can!"
Neither Hinata, Tenten, nor Fides had a chance to reply as Naruto dodged and weaved the three-attacking ninja without even paying them attention or turning to them. Naruto grabbed one man's arm and flicked him into a tree where he crashed down in pain. Naruto dodged down, sticking out his leg, tripping another, and nudging him away where he skidded across the floor.
Their leader back peddled as Naruto hadn't even tried and continued speaking without missing a beat. "We should hurry up. If Asuma and the others are too afraid to cross the border then it will be down to us until those Green Lantern guys turn up to help us out!" he said, moving his head to one side as the lead Iwa ninja tried to punch him in the back of the head.
"Even if we can't destroy Doomsday," Naruto continued, as he side stepped to avoid the knee to his back. "We can at least hold him back from killing any innocent civilians!" he said, hopping up as rock spikes rolled at him, and stopped where he had stood. Naruto had landed on the tip of a spike. "Maybe soon we'll at least have Konoha's and Suna's forces to help knock the monster down, if need be, and keep him down!"
Hinata; still awed that Naruto was making fools of the Iwa ninja stuck her head around to look at their leader as he looked furious, and humiliated as Naruto still had his back to them.
"Umm... Iwa-nin-san," Hinata said, blushing. "My apologies for... for Naruto-sama, but you cannot beat him. He is a… he is a kage class ninja. He is our kage. The Uzikage. If he isn't fighting back, you should be thankful, because otherwise you would be dead already!"
Naruto turned to the Iwa-nin with a giant smile, and in that moment, the Iwa-nin flinched as before he had looked at Naruto, as just an ignorant young punk, but really looking beyond that and Naruto's smile, he took a step back as he saw it. Iwa-nin-san saw a flee on sight ninja standing before him with every instinct screaming that he was a pushover, it took a moment to look beyond those to the primitive senses beyond, and they screamed run and never look back.
"Good!" Naruto said with a smile. "Now, you, and you!" he said pointing to the other two ninjas as they had pulled themselves up. They stood up straight as they looked at Naruto, as he had pulled out a purple handle and it buzzed with a solid looking yellow blade, pointing at them, and they gulped. "Fall in line!" he commanded and they moved to their leader, standing to attention with him.
"We have to head into Rock territory to fight with Doomsday!" Naruto said to them proudly as he put his sword away. "He is the monster your forces are now engaged in battle with. If we do not stop him, innocent people will die! I will not allow that to happen!"
"What would you care about Iwa?" the leader demanded but he didn't have the guts to break ranks. "Y-you're 'his' son, aren't you? We're not stupid. You're the Yondaime Hokage's son! He killed so many of our people."
Naruto's eyes narrowed before nodding. "He did!" he agreed. "He was a murderer and hero!" he agreed with a sigh. "It was war, and both sides got blood on their hands. Me... I choose to be different to all those from my clan before me. I am Naruto Uzumaki and I am going to save your people, my people, and everybody on this planet from Doomsday! I don't do this because I am told to, ordered, or even just because I can. I do this because it is what is right! It is because I want to protect everyone. Not to prove myself, but because I must – to be the man I want to be – so that when I look back on my life, I can be proud of what I have accomplished!"
Naruto turned from them. "Fides-chan, Ten-chan, Hinata-chan, let's go!" he ordered and they all nodded as the four of them shot off passed the Iwa-nin and into the woods, Fides flying with them.
It was a moment later that the Iwa-nin had caught up, running with them. "N-Uzumaki-sama!" the leader of the border control called. "We have agreed that you make valid points. We shall follow you into battle... to protect our people!"
"You may regret that when it comes to the battle!"
They were startled as Temari had shot out of the trees behind them, catching up. "Naruto-sama... I have chosen you," she said, gesturing the whirlpool headband she now wore. "There are more important things than the status quo."
"Good," Naruto said while frowning, "but where did you get those headbands… wait, never mind, armoury-girl here," Naruto said while rolling his eyes as Tenten looked sheepish. "This is going to be hectic, but it shall be a good day to-."
"D-die?" the leader of the Iwa border patrol interrupted nervously.
"No," Naruto said with a shake of his head. "I was going to say it is a good day to save the world! Wow, you guys are so pessimistic!" he said shaking his head. "If you go into battle with that attitude you're going to die."
Temari couldn't help but laugh. "You should note that Naruto-sama is not your average ninja. He doesn't believe anything is impossible! No matter the odds. This... handsome, monster of a ninja would stand in the path of hell, taking it on full force, and you know, I wouldn't show surprise if Naruto continued standing after with an infinity of demon corpses piled up around him-!"
They only had a minute to think on that when they burst through the trees and came out into a battlefield. Explosions rocked the ground, and rock and earth techniques ripped at what might have once been a delightful glade. Doomsday was there, batting away Iwa-nin like they were nothing more than bugs getting in the monster's way, but he was likely having fun anyway.
Looking around they could only gape at the amount of blood spread out around the fields of rock and grass. Torn apart bodies littered the grounds for a few miles with body pieces. Screams from ninja rent the still as some were still alive screaming out for help, blood drooling from their lips.
They waited a moment as they looked to the monster, at least a mile from them. Iwa-nin charged in but most of them couldn't even touch him. They were practically throwing their lives away.
"Umm... Naruto-sama," Hinata mumbled as they watched the creature. "A-are we going to be-be able to slow t-that thing down?"
Naruto turned to Hinata and grinned. Naruto pulled her into a hug and kissed her lips sweetly. "No sweat sweetie!" he agreed as he let go of her and turned to the Iwa-nin. "Head into your forces and tell your leaders to fall back!" he said, turning to Temari. "Tem-chan, head with them, try to convince them that they're going to die if they don't... and Fides-chan... Ten-chan, Hinata-chan, I need reinforcements, so I want you to wait for them!"
"And you?" Temari asked, concerned. However, the look on the blondes' face told her everything she asked. "You're going to fight it alone...?! Are you crazy?!"
"Yep!" Naruto agreed with a wild smile. "And that was an order, head out!" he said stealing a quick kiss from Temari, Tenten, Fides, and Hinata.
Temari nodded with a blush and smile, and turned to the boys and shot off along the line of the woods with them following her. It didn't take them long to reach the front lines, but no one seemed to listen. They even ignored the foreign ninja in amongst their forces when suddenly they were shielding their eyes from a massive explosion of crimson light.
When the light had faded their attacking-forces had pulled to a halt, watching as they saw the young blonde man sizzling as he stood before the monster.
"You again!" it roared out in hate and loathing. "Kryptonian wannabee...! You fight better than them! But you shall die this time!" he hissed through his teeth in rage.
"Articulate monster aren't you!" Naruto spat out with clenched fists. Naruto's once blue eyes were crimson slanted, and cold. "This time I'm ready for you! So, you're going down!"
Doomsday laughed mockingly as he brushed down the dust from the attack, Naruto had hit him with. Naruto charged in a flash of crimson light. The world around Doomsday seemed to explode in a flash of red. They went down with Naruto on top. Naruto kept smashing his fists into the monster, each one pushing enough momentum into the hits that they crushed a long trench through the rocks and ground.
"Sandaime-sama...-!"
Temari looked to see a beaten-up old man wearing the robes of a kage had approached her and couldn't look away from the fight as they kept swapping positions as they flipped around trying to smash each other's heads into the ground, and doing a good job of it too.
"What is that thing?" he asked Temari looking ready to collapse.
Temari looked to the old man warily. "That is Doomsday, a stupid mistake from a near extinct race from another planet, in another universe!" she said, and if he found her explanation odd, he didn't show it. "That powerful young man fighting it, is... he is my kage... I suppose that makes him the Yondaime of Uzi no Kuni!" she said thoughtfully. "Son to the Yondaime Hokage, Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Last Son of Uzi no Kuni! Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze-dono!"
The old man's eyes stretched open, wide as he watched the blonde boy fighting the monster. "Then why does he stand before that monster and us?" the old man asked in disbelief.
Temari made a noise in her throat that showed her amusement at the question. "Because he is, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze...! He is a hero beyond us! He doesn't care who you are, what you've done, or any of these simple things. He fights because he doesn't want to see people die when he can do something to stop it!"
"The Yondaime Hokage was a murderer!" the old man stated as fact.
"And his son is a saviour!" Temari retorted back, not trying to stand up for the Yondaime Hokage but standing up for her possible boyfriend, her kage, even if she had to share – there was no way any one girl could keep up with him alone, so that was a good thing.
Naruto was a hero to so many people no matter what his father had done in the past.
Naruto crashed down into the rocks with Doomsday heavily on top of him, but he flipped up and back, knocking him off, and kicking him into a cropping of rocks, shattering them with him. Naruto roared out, not stopping to catch his breath, he swirled with crimson chakra as he moved, too fast for the lower ranks watching to see, and some higher ranks had trouble too.
Rocks blew up, erupting as Naruto's right fist caved into Doomsday's gut. The force rippled as he yelled out; his muscles bulged. Then the rocks behind Doomsday caved, and collapsed. Naruto forced the monster back, through the rocks, and he crashed back, flying several hundred metres, bouncing and skipping like a toy thrown over water, like a skipping stone.
Naruto flew at Doomsday, running full speed, he disappeared a few times when his toes touched, and shattered the ground, and reached Doomsday before he came to a stop and pounded him with his left fist, forcing him to continue crushing back. Naruto was on him again with a right, left, right, left, bashing Doomsday into the ground with each hit, knocking him further back.
"Y-your kage is something else!" the Sandaime spoke to Temari while rubbing his swollen jaw. "Unfortunately, I'm not a young man anymore. I lasted less than a minute. I couldn't even move him, and Uzumaki… Uzumaki-dono is smashing him all over the place!"
"Uzumaki-sama is just a bit faster than him in quick bursts, by using shunpo!" Temari replied, worried. "For anyone else using shunpo repeatedly, or with such reckless amounts of chakra, like that it would tear them apart, and its an extremely difficult technique as it is, but the Kyuubi heals him at pretty good speeds when it needs too, and is likely concentrating on the important areas," she said in concern, as Naruto smashed the beast up, into the air and then disappeared in a flash of red, reappearing above the monster, and hammer slamming him into the ground, disappearing again and crashing down into Doomsday, slamming his fists into him boom after boom, smashing him deeper and deeper into the planet.
"Before," Temari continued. "Uzumaki-sama fought Doomsday, and he ran away, but he adapts," she told them. "He gets stronger, and evolves. Uzumaki-sama might have been better prepared, and maybe he could have destroyed him then, but he had just survived the impact of Doomsday hitting down in our dimension and on our Earth, which used a great deal of his power, as you can still see the effects in the distance!" she said as the dark stormy clouds from the impact site, though miles away, were still visible, and they were under some lighter grey clouds that must have been some of the cause and effect from impact too.
"So, Uzumaki-sama, just has to hold Doomsday back while we wait for these universal law enforcers, from an alternate universe?" asked a young woman, whimpering. She was the Iwa-kage's personal assistant, who was holding her badly swollen right arm.
"Yeah... if Uzumaki-sama can't destroy him we have to get him off this Earth!" Temari replied feeling tired and silly talking about things like that, and she had met two girls who could fly. "Apparently, if they can get him into space, he doesn't need to breathe, but he can't fly, so, he is at a massive disadvantage because of the lack of gravity! He'll know that will be our plan, and try to do everything he can to prevent himself from ever being taken near that high."
Doomsday roared out and Naruto was smashed out of the trench he had built with him. Naruto sailed up through the air when Doomsday shot up after him. Doomsday kept hitting Naruto, punch after punch, sending him higher and higher. They passed through the clouds, and the army below could only watch in horror, expecting their last hope to be lost.
However, it was as they reached a few miles high that a green beam of light blazed out and knocked Doomsday away before he delivered anymore punches.
Naruto sighed in relief as blood pooled down his face, and he rightened himself as he slowed to a fall. Naruto watched to the side, several hundred yards away as Doomsday plummeted to the rocks below in a huge explosion.
Grounding his teeth, Naruto angled himself to shoot down. Naruto blast through the air when suddenly he was scooped up by someone. Naruto was barely able to stop himself from smacking the man in the face. Naruto was surprised to see a bulky man wearing blue with red cape and a huge S on his chest made from some amazing unknown material.
"You're pretty strong kid, but try not to be too reckless!" the man said as Naruto realised, he was actually-flying, and descended, controlled. "I'm Superman, and I'm here to help!"
Naruto looked to him. "Umm... I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I was doing quite well beating the living crap out of Doomsday thank you very much!" he said to Superman's amusement when he noticed the two other men in green. "Green Lanterns!" he said in surprise when he looked up to see more of different shapes, sizes, sexes, and colours from red to purple and green skinned, and different shapes from blobs to rock solid, and even furry.
Then further three large white and red flying machines where some of these Green Lantern's exited, and others had already jumped out before the side hatches closed and the machines flew off out of range of being damaged by Doomsday no doubt.
"Wow," Naruto muttered to himself, surprised. "I... I knew that we were going to get some help from some police force guys from space, but I didn't expect nearly as many."
"John!"
It was a white brown-haired, human man who spoke. He called out to a black, human man as he lowered from the army of Green Lantern.
"Hal!" he greeted in return.
"Was that kid fighting Doomsday?!" Hal asked while Naruto glared at him.
"Hey jerk, I could kick your arse all over this planet!" Naruto retorted from where Superman held him, very unmanly like. "And I'm sixteen, and a ninja, so I am way passed being an adult, thank you very much."
Hal grimaced as he looked at Naruto's red slit eyes. "Whoa, sorry I spoke," he said shaking his hands in defence. "So, Superman, looks like the people here have quite a gift for corralling this escapee of ours?!"
"Yes," he agreed, glaring at him. "That thing was made by my people, so that makes it my responsibility, as much as yours for losing him in the first place, as his 'care' was intrusted to The Green Lantern Corps Prison System!"
"I wasn't guarding him!" Hal tried to defend himself as they all started landing and Superman lowered Naruto to his feet.
Naruto rolled his eyes before looking around as he saw them, mouth hanging open as Konoha's and Suna's armies exited from the trees joining with Iwa's forces to keep Doomsday pinned while the heavy hitters could deal with the actual fighting. Then even more, more forces from Cloud and other smaller ninja villages were joining them, villages Naruto knew, people he had saved – well, those that were close enough to get there.
"Whoa!" Guy said as he was introducing himself to Naruto, looking around. "Who are all of these people?!" he asked in amazement as his ring was telling him that the people of this Earth all seemed to have supernatural powers.
"These are the people who came… because they finally understood a greater need than fighting amongst ourselves!" Naruto spoke, prouder than he could imagine. "These are the people of this planet who have sensed the threat and came to fight it to the end! Put a people in a corner with no way out, and they will come together to put the monsters in their place."
"I like this race of humans!" the large light red skinned alien with large mouth and wrinkled skin boomed out laughing, as he had somehow managed to sneak up behind them, patting Naruto's shoulder. "The names Kilowog, so don't you forget it. Doomsday will be up soon. He isn't going to stay down for long after taking such a pansy hit by Guy!"
"Hey!" Guy complained. "I hit that thing pretty hard, and he was two point eight miles high, so that fall had to have hurt!"
"That dude took one of my most powerful techniques, twice, and still alive and kicking as hard as ever!" Naruto squished his spirits and he sulked while Kilowog grinned.
"Kicking a poser while he's down...! If you were my son, I would be so proud!" he said which seemed to add more insult to injury.
"A-are we forgetting something?" Naruto asked when they looked over as a roar exploded from the distance. "Oh right, my archenemy!" he said, frowning. "That stupid arse kept screaming Kryptonian wannabee at me, and trying to kill me!" he said before turning to them. "I have to speak with my people before I get into it with the monster again!" he said before bursting away in a blast of leaves.
"That young man has a lot of power!" Superman said as he looked around. "He was fighting that thing to a standstill. I know I was concerned with him falling to the ground but I don't think he would have hurt himself-."
"Doomsday is on his way!" Hal interrupted while looking to his ring.
Meanwhile, Naruto appeared in the Konoha lines startling Tsunade. "I think we might stand a chance now! Spread the word to keep Doomsday encircled… don't let him free."
Tsunade quickly nodded and made a quick gesture and several ANBU (Spec-ops ninja) headed off to see it done. "Naru-kun!" the woman suddenly reprimanded as she rushed forward. She started making hand seals, and her hands glowed a light green.
Naruto hadn't realised he hurt that much until he felt his face healing with the older woman's expert care. "I worry about you all the time," she finally admitted. "I tried to keep my distance as much as I could, but it just gets worse. I hate feeling like that. Technically, you're the only family I have, and you're always risking your life for strangers, and here you are again, so foolish!"
"Uzumaki...!"
Naruto ground his teeth as his crimson eyes flashed over the boy as he stood behind them with a smug smirk, and cool dark eyes.
"Look at you, so pathetic!" Sasuke said mockingly wearing some weird bathrobe thing with his scrawny chest on display, and string tying his robe closed, and a sword on his back; The Grass Cutter – the Kusanagi, Orochimaru's sword, if Naruto wasn't mistaken. "I would have already destroyed this Doomsday! I don't see why all of these armies were called when you just needed me!"
"Yeah, Sasuke-kun is the greatest!" the pink haired girl, Sakura said as she stood with him, smirking in smugness. "You're nothing but a red eyed daemon freak!" she said with a large smile. "You'll be executed for what you did to me, daemon bastard!" she said arrogantly.
"Oh, shut it Sakura, you fucking retard!"
They were interrupted by a beautiful blonde-haired girl, Ino, as she stepped out from behind the Hokage. "Naruto-sama is a kage!" she said coolly. "I caught some of his fight before those green guys turned up and he is beyond you or Sasuke-baka!"
Naruto felt his cheeks blush as Hinata stood by Ino with Fides, Tenten, and Arisia, so they must have told them everything that had been going on, maybe even a little too much.
"You've always been weak Sakura!" Ino continued smugly. "You wouldn't go out of your way for those you supposedly called friends, let alone a stranger. And Sasuke, fuck you... I'm never letting a pathetic prick like you near me. I will never harbour a child of the Sharingan!"
"Then you'll be breaking the-!"
What Sakura was going to say stopped on her tongue moments later as she saw the look on the Hokage's face. It was rage beyond anything she had ever seen from the woman.
"Unless you idiots want me to kill you, you'll shut the fuck up!" Tsunade ordered, turning to Ino. "And Ino-chan, enough... we have bigger problems right now. It's heading for us!"
Sasuke snorted rudely. "I don't need any of you weaklings!" Sasuke said before he cried out as he was suddenly sent flying. His arms snapped as he hit the ground, and blood poured from him before he ended up coming to a stop, dead in a pool of blood.
"Hey, I was going to smack him!" Naruto whined while Hinata had come out of nowhere, and Naruto wasn't too sneaky at sliding the Raijin away, as he was curious whether the fabled sword that's said to cut through anything, the Kusanagi, could cut through lightning. Hinata's wrists were together, fingers clawed, and arms outstretched. She had hit Sasuke with a flash of blue light, and he hadn't stood a chance.
Hinata blushed while everyone but Fides, Arisia, or Naruto gaped at her. "I'm sorry Yondaime-sama!" she said sheepishly. "B-but I can't stand people like him putting you down when they know you are beyond them. Anyway, he would be a liability to the safety of our people, and he is a traitor to everyone he serves, and we must not sacrifice anyone because he could potentially be of use!"
"Good call, Hinata-chan!" Naruto replied, pulling his girl into his arms where she melted in happiness, as he hissed her forehead before letting her go.
"W-what happened?" Sakura asked in shock before glaring hard. "How dare you, you bitch! You're not good enough to clean his arse!" she swung a punch at Hinata, but stopped halfway.
"I'm a little surprised myself!"
It was Hinata's father. He had disabled Sakura without much thought in it, and walked around her with his youngest daughter next to him, staring at her big sister in awe. It was a surprise that both showed signs of pride for once, as they had been fooled by Hinata's act for so long.
"Father," Hinata greeted, blushing. "Hanabi-chan," she said to her little sister, and almost laughed as she saw Naruto stealing Sasuke's sword, and had to bite her cheek.
Everyone turned to Naruto at that, and he paused, "oh, darn… I mean… oh, darn," he said as he actually-checked for a pulse on Sasuke's neck. Bastards still alive… well, he won't be without a doctor," he said standing up with a black sheaved sword in his hand, and they watched as it was nonchalantly slid away into his thigh pouch. "Right, we were about to go through something with Hanabi-chan, and Hinata-chan's dad?" he said sheepishly as some ANBU medics collected Sasuke onto a stretcher, and didn't seem to care whether he lived or not.
"Put him on lockdown, top security!" Tsunade said as she ignored the theft, and the medics took Sasuke away back to whatever medical tents they had set up, as other Medic ANBU from all the villages were chancing the field to collect those still alive.
Hinata's sister was twelve while Hinata was sixteen herself. They didn't look perfectly alike as Hanabi had black hair and Hinata's hair was a deep purple, but other than that if they were twins, they would be near identical in features, except Hanabi was much better at making her face look harder and colder than Hinata could ever try.
"Hinata-nee...-sama…!" Hanabi said, using the superior suffix for her for the first time in her life. "I... I had always thought you went easy on me... deep down. Now I realise you had been toying with me, letting me win while you hid such power! Why would you never show me what you could do?" she asked. She looked sad.
Hinata sighed as she stepped closer. "I love you," she answered. "And... and you look so much like mummy... but even then, I couldn't ever bring myself to hurt you. I'm not a genius ninja like you and dad. I had thought I was a failure. Then I met Naruto-kun at the academy. He wasn't a genius ninja… but he was clever, cunning, smarter than he ever let on, but still not a genius ninja… he showed me that being a genius meant nothing if that's all you were. That drew me in. He was different to me. I had given in to my place.
"Then I saw him. Naruto Uzumaki. He fought so hard. He strived to move passed everyone's foolish belief that geniuses were the most powerful ninja. Naruto knew that he could surpass any genius because he would work at it. So, I never gave up. Then I saw Naruto-kun hide his abilities. He pretended he cared what people thought of him. He wanted to be more than just a ninja. I could see that even if at the time he couldn't. He wanted to use his abilities, and power for others, and look at him. He has become stronger than most because he chose to not listen to bull-shit! I chose to listen to his way, and make my own path, and that was while barely speaking with him, because I liked him too much, and I have always feared his rejection above all else, but now I will always stand by his side!"
Naruto smiled as he took Hinata's right hand in his left and pulled her gently to him. "I'll always stand by you too, Hinata-chan!" Naruto said when they startled as Doomsday turned up.
The monster landed between the forces with a crash, roaring out before Superman moved as a stream of red and blue, crashing into it, knocking it away.
"I wonder whether I could create a technique like that," Naruto commented as they were pounding on each other.
"That's natural to him, I take it?" Tsunade asked as she watched the man trading blows with Doomsday. Naruto nodded her head. "Wow, puts my super strength technique to shame, but we should be paying more attention!"
"Not to mention, he can fly!" Ino commented. "Flying looks like it comes in handy. How was it when he was carrying you, Naruto-sama?"
Naruto smiled at Ino, as Superman was punched, flying into the Iwa-nin with Doomsday speeding after him while the Iwa-nin split to get out of the way. Naruto was about to engage when a tan muscle-bound man appeared in Doomsday's way. He had his blonde hair pulled back wearing a large white coat that showed off his powerful chest. He had a twist of a moustache on his lips with a gap between with some hair over his chin.
The man caught Doomsday's fist before it collided with Superman's face while the caped man was pulling himself up. The new man's knee collided with Doomsday's gut three times before he smashed the monsters face into the ground and kicked him flying a hundred yards, and shot at him, knocking him away again when a blonde girl wearing a standard jonin uniform and purple slanted eyes, leaking demonic power appeared, striking the monster from behind, sending him flying back.
"A... Clouds kage...!" Tsunade said as they watched.
"Then Yugito Nii...!" Jiraiya of the sannin said as he stood with them. "The two-tails Jinchuriki!" he said as Superman got back into the fight. It might have been funny as he and A was near playing catch with the monster.
However, Naruto had moved, he came out of nowhere, landing on Doomsday mid throw. Naruto had grabbed Doomsday's face, crashing it into the ground. Naruto was flaming with red chakra again and pounding on its face.
It took Doomsday a few moments to lash out, launching Naruto into the air. Naruto grinned as Doomsday stood, glaring up at him. Naruto held out his hands, palms out and they flashed with red as a swirl of energy blazed into his palms, and pulsed until it was twice the size of a beach ball. Then it fired. Superman and the two-cloud ninja had already fled away as the ground exploded, ripping apart.
The Green Lanterns had already set up some to protect from large attacks, and they set up their shields. The blast was hot and blinding, but only lasted a few moments as Naruto hadn't the time to charge it into something special.
Naruto had been caught by Hal in a green bubble and brought down a little way from the impact crater, and let go where John and Guy had saved both A and Yugito from getting damaged by the attack.
Superman had appeared with them while watching the dust cloud around the impact settle. "I don't think that will keep him down for long!" he said while Kilowog and several other Lanterns turned up.
"Okay," Kilowog said while sneering at the area Doomsday was. "I say we try this again. Boy, you and these two," he said gesturing A and Yugito after Naruto. "If we can hold him still, can the three of you hit him with your most powerful, loosen his brain some?! That way we can hopefully get him off the planet where he'll be vulnerable."
"I think so!" A said while the other two nodded at his look.
"Do it!" Naruto muttered as he stood with Yugito. "You in?" he asked as he noticed the older girl was shaking with fear and took her hand, startling her, but she calmed and nodded, squeezing Naruto's fingers in appreciation.
Superman shot forward, blasting the settling dust away as Doomsday was climbing to his feet, growling, smashing into him, and crashing him down. Green Lantern's followed him into the fray with giant glowing green fists, and blasting weapons.
Naruto grinned as he created a huge rasengan in his right hand, and it swirled crimson. Then it blast-out as he held it above his head, swirling like the vortex of a storm. It spread out with blades as he concentrated, roaring out as the crimson light blazed. It created sound and picked up the wind, blowing his hair about, as it formed a monster shuriken of wind chakra.
"Whoa, shit," Yugito said in awe as her short hair was blowing about in the wind as she held a powerful blue ball of fire between her palms while A held a powerful ball of yellow lightning. They had been joined by other kage, and kage level ninja, all with attacks at the ready, surrounding the monster, but none of them were anything near Naruto's level.
Gaara stood with them with Jiraiya, sand and wind attacks being charged, ready to fire. Then they were ready as the Green Lanterns had Doomsday trapped in their power, clamped and chained. Hal called for them to fire, and they did. They had never witnessed such an explosion. It roared out ripping up everything it took, bursting out, up, and around.
The ninja all pulled back, jumping and skipping along the ground. Naruto held Yugito as she had been too shocked to move. Naruto placed her down as they watched the Green Lanterns flying up with Doomsday in their power. He was starting to struggle as he realised what was happening to him.
"Come on!" Naruto muttered while Yugito was curled up to his side, possibly taking advantage while she could, watching. "Take him, get him-. NO!" Naruto yelled out as Doomsday had burst free. Naruto left Yugito, with flames of crimson light and crouched, rippling the air he burst up with the ground shattering around his launch point.
Naruto was over a mile high in a matter of seconds in a raging temper he crashed his right fist into Doomsday. He kept smashing his fists into him over and over as powerful red chains coiled and burst around and from Naruto's cloak of power, wrapping around Doomsday and ensnaring him, he struggled while Naruto continued to slam his fists into the monster with such shockwaves that they went higher and higher, before Naruto blasted Doomsday with Rasentiaho, and his chains just let go as the wave of energy pored. The world flashed red as Naruto fell backwards looking up through the smoke of his attack, Doomsday was still going.
However, a moment later the monster flew down through the clearing smoke, and punched Naruto over and over before he went blasting down, too fast for Doomsday to keep up with him. Naruto screamed out in anger as he was flooded with red power that coated him in chains, as he looked up at the smug monster, his light blazed into a black colour, then nothing as Naruto exploded into oblivion with a roar so ferocious that it shook everyone to their cores.
'I give you all, and everything,' whispered on the wind as the seal broke, caving in within the silence of the black. 'Destroy it; show it that together we were unstoppable for this one moment, nature wins!'
The black exploded away and there he was floating in the air, watching as the monster fell towards him. Naruto's hair was now crimson, and wild, flared, and down his back, and he had nine long crimson furred foxtails swishing out, each tipped black. Naruto's slanted crimson eyes were cold and deadly, and he had red fox ears up the side of his head, sticking through his hair, tipped black.
Naruto was no longer glowing crimson as the air rippled around him, as pure strength defied gravity, and then he shot up in a fierce shockwave; his fists colliding with the monster over and over. Naruto and the beast streaked up passed the Green Lanterns like rockets. They blazed through the clouds while they tussled in battle streaking towards the closer, and smaller of the moons.
The dark clouds burst open showing the cool nights sky beyond as Naruto continuously pounded the fifty barrels of shit out of his enemy. Then Naruto put his palms to Doomsday's chest and boom. The largest, most powerful Rasentiaho Naruto had ever tried, exploded out in a beam of red, and Doomsday went soaring higher, burning through the atmosphere, and the beam faded away as it was gone.
Naruto floated back gently, blood dribbling from him, shirt torn up, and exhausted, as he stopped in the sky, hovering and panting for breath when Superman appeared next to him, a few moments later, and around thirty or more Green Lantern shot passed.
"You did well!" Superman said to him while he was panting for breath. "It took me ages to learn to fly," he said jokingly.
"Yeah?!" Naruto said as he laughed at the irony of it as he looked himself over. "I guess I really have become the Kyuubi… it was sealed in me… a monster they said. She, he, it… it told me in my dream that it was a force of nature given sentience, for man's ignorance – man's own creation. I feel there is so much more to it, and for such a powerful being, that's been around for quite a long time, and not imprisoned in people, it's done a pretty shoddy job of killing us."
"Sometimes, people just won't listen without a bit of a slap," Superman said with a sad sigh of his own. "Well, that's what my human ma always said… unfortunately for ma, giving me a bit of a clout would hurt her more than me. Luckily for her, I was for the most, a bit of a good boy."
Naruto nodded and smiled as he shot down with a few sonic booms, slicing round and landing with his people to cheers and praise from people from all over the Elemental Nations, and realised that he had become something more than a ninja, something better than just a killer, and Kyuubi had given Naruto the opportunity to rescue their people from these lawless lands.
However, before Naruto could say or do anything, he was glompped by Hinata as she swore that she would be going wherever Naruto did, and even Temari, and Tenten were with Hinata in swearing their loyalty, as they had chosen to follow Naruto to whatever ends.
The crowd had quietened. "I know what I need to do now," Naruto said with a smile. "I'm sorry, Fides-chan, I would love to go back to your world a little earlier than everything else, but I have to travel to Whirlpool and find my place in this world, before I try to find a place in another. You're more than welcome to tag along," he said taking her small hands gently in his while she nodded her head eagerly.
Tsunade looked to sigh in relief. "Then – then expect us to… make a treaty with you, and Whirlpool once you're settled, or… if… well, you can always come back to Konoha… I think I'm going to do some rather… nice renovation work of the Council."
Naruto smiled a little hearing that.
"We can give you a ride if you want?" Superman suggested as he gestured to the three large craft as they landed down in the middle of the battle field. "Plenty of room in the Javelins, since most of the Lanterns are still in space?"
"Awesome!" Naruto said eagerly as he led his girls towards the Javelins, but stopped after just two steps as he felt a little dizzy, and everyone watched as Naruto's tails, streamed from crimson and black, to golden yellow with white tips, with his hair and ears doing the same.
"Oh, I was hoping it was going to be a cool transformation," Naruto said with a pout as his crimson eyes turned a golden yellow, but still slanted.
"But cute fluffy tails," Tenten said as she grabbed one and stroked it to her cheeks, and Naruto had to try hard not to let on that her petting his tail felt rather pleasant, as all the girls around were eyeing Naruto's tails eagerly, but Tenten eventually let his tail go, but she obviously wanted to cuddle them more.
Naruto rolled his eyes and gulped. "Come on, lets just go already," he said, leading the way to the Javelin.
"Dad, can I go too, please?!" Ino whined to her father.
He sighed and looked to the Hokage, and she shrugged and nodded, as she just wanted Naruto to be okay, and be well looked after.
Ino squealed in delight and after hugging her dad, charged off after Naruto. "Where do I get a new headband?" she asked, pulling hers off, and throwing it away with nonchalance while Tenten smirked, and offered her the last one she had to Ino's delight.
