Hello Everyone! Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun time with family and friends and had time to sit back and relax. Welcome again to the next chapter of RDK! We have reached the last fight of this arc! Naruto vs King Ghidorah. There will be two or three more chapters before we officially end the GMG and Invasion Arcs and move on to the next part of the story.

I thank you all for waiting patiently and hope you enjoy this chapter. It was a bit of work and I hope it meets your expectations. Also, I would like to thank a Youtuber, Hyourinjutsu for inspiring a few scenes in this chapter. So shout out to his amazing animations.

On one other note, I will begin to use mana to refer to magical energy. Just giving you a heads up before reading. I just wanted to find shorter ways of saying magical energy/power. Let me know if you like it better.

Another side note, I will pull up a poll very soon for MON and possibly a few others. So keep your eyes for those polls coming up!

Well enough stalling. Now let the show begin!


Invasion Part III: Battle of the Kings! Acnologia vs Ghidorah!

"SKREEEEONGK!" Acnologia roared as he soared towards Ghidorah with the golden hydra flying down to him as well. The black and gold dragons slam into one another as a gust of wind blew outwards from their collision.

[Naruto OST: Kokuten]

The two reptilian behemoths reared back as they regarded each for a moment. Suddenly, the two spread their wings out as they flew upwards into the night sky. The two continued to fly up the heavens until they reached right above the clouds, the crimson moon shining brightly above them as they glared at one another.

A split moment later, the two dash at one another. As they were at arm's length, the two side heads of Ghidorah shot forward to chomp on Naruto, but the dragon king quickly thrusts his arms forward and catches the two heads at the start of their long necks.

The middle head rears its head back before bellowing out a lightning bolt, but Acnologia manages to swiftly tilt his head to dodge the bolt. The black dragon begins charging mana into his right foot as the ethernano condensed into a familiar sphere.

Naruto quickly pulls Ghidorah closer and roars, "Rasengan!" The spiraling sphere is slammed into Ghidorah's abdomen. Ghidorah grunts as he was sent flying back as the sphere exploded and engulfed his entire body. However, Naruto knew this fight would not be that easy. He was proven right as lightning flew out of the explosion with Naruto swiftly dodging several of the bolts that came out of the smoke cloud.

When the dust cleared, there stood Ghidorah without a scratch on its body. Its middle head reared up as it regarded Naruto.

"To think a former human would prove to be an opponent for someone such as myself. How amusing." The middle Ghidorah head growled in amusement and annoyance.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at his opponent. "Oh? You finally decided to open your jaws and speak, Ghidorah?" he mocked.

The three heads snorted. "I acknowledge you as my enemy, Acnologia. And I shall crush you."

Naruto growled. "At least we can agree on something." The two dragons rushed towards one another once again. Naruto reached Ghidorah first due to his slightly smaller size. He rears his arm back and lands a right hook to the jaw of the middle head. Naruto quickly follows up with, "Akuryukyaku (Devil-Dragon kick)!" Ghidorah quickly ducked under the magically coated leg and slams his body into Naruto's gut.

The blonde king stumbled a bit but grabbed hold of Ghidorah's middle neck. The golden hydra released an electrical discharge, but Naruto gritted through the pain as he used his incredible physical strength to flip Ghidorah over his head and sent him flying in the opposite direction.

Naruto charges mana into his leg, tail, and arms. He launches another devil-dragon kick followed by an energy slash from his tail, and finally forming two large rasengans and hurling them towards Ghidorah.

Ghidorah had quickly regained its balance just as Naruto fired his string of attacks. The golden-scaled kaiju charged both of its spiked tails with lightning and quickly deflected the kick attack and slash, before launching two lightning bolts from its side heads to counter-attack the two rasengans as the attacks blew up.

Naruto raises his arm and gathered his magical energy to form a large spinning disc. "Kienzan!" Naruto shouts as he hurls the disc of ethernano. Ghidorah merely scoffed at the attack as he expected something better from Acnologia. As he prepared to blast the disc away, Ghidorah had failed to notice Acnologia's malicious smirk. Just as Ghidorah fired off his lightning bolts, Naruto closed his hand into a fist. The moment he did, the kienzan broke into numerous small kienzans. Ghidorah was taken aback as the kienzans began surrounding him as they cut several areas around his body.

Naruto growls out a sigh. He quickly focuses his mana into the tips of his fingers, toes, and stinger. Soon several rasengan began forming on each tip. Naruto quickly rears his claws and tail before hurling the multiple rasengans as they began to enlarge to about one-fourth the size of Naruto's dragon body as they began orbiting around Ghidorah.

Acnologia quickly charges his magical energy into six different parts of his body. The black dragon roars as he fires several destruction lasers from his clawed hands and feet, tail, maw, and eyes.

Ghidorah glared at the incoming beams and rasengans about to collide into him. He would show this king that he would not fall so easily! The kaiju's eyes glowed golden with electricity. He releases an enormous electrical shockwave pulse that destroys the kienzans and rasengans. The pulse continued to expand like a large barrier with Ghidorah at the center as the destruction lasers slammed into the enlarging pulse.

Naruto and Ghidorah both continued to pour more magical power into their attacks, but the stalemate continued as their attacks grew more powerful with discharges of blue and yellow lightning erupting in several directions from the overload of power being generated by the two sides. Finally, the stalemate ended as the energy collision was too much and a bright explosion erupted from the center of the two attacks. The skies were completely illuminated in a brilliant white flash that nearly resembled daylight for a minute or so before dying down. As the night sky returned to normal, Naruto and Ghidorah were still standing completely fine as they glared at another.

Naruto was shaking. Not in fear. But excitement. It had been centuries since he felt a battle like this. One that rapidly pumped blood through his veins. The rapid beats of his heart pulsating through his eardrums. The last time he felt a fight like this was a very long time ago. But now he was finally facing someone else that could actually push him to fight at his best. Naruto let out a bellowing roar as his tribal markings began to glow again. The joy of fighting a worthy opponent! Oh, how he missed this feeling!

Gildarts and Fairy Tail gave him small doses, but this is what he was waiting for! By the look on Ghidorah's faces, he felt the same. The golden retaliated as it screeched as golden lightning danced around its body, more specifically, its three necks.

The two continued to gaze at one another as their magical energy began to build within their maws glowing with ethernano. Finally, both roared their signature attacks,

"HAKAI NO HOKO!"

"GRAVITY BEAMS!"

For Naruto, he launched a massive sky blue beam of etherion, while Ghidorah launched three large pale beams of yellow electricity. Time seemed to slow as the two attacks slowly approached one another. As the attacks finally collided, as everything went quiet as a bright flash envelops the two dragons.

KA-BOOOOOOM!

The silence was replaced with a massively loud explosion that erupts from the collision of the two attacks. The bright white explosion expands outwards throughout the area as it lights up the sky for several seconds and causing several mages and dragons to pause in their actions and look up to the bright, white flash. Soon enough, the light began to fade, and Naruto was beginning to regain his sight. However, the moment he regained enough of his sight, he was greeted by the sight of Ghidorah flying right towards him. Naruto had no time to move as the golden kaiju slammed into him as the two go sailing down towards the ground. Naruto tries to struggle to release himself as he looks down to see that they were on a collision course with a maroon-colored dragon and the mages fighting the dragon. The two crashed landed on top of the dragon, completely crushing it under their combined weight as the area is covered by a cloud of smoke and dust.

[GKOTM OST: Old Rivals]

As the dust settled, Acnologia and Ghidorah were struggling against one another with the two side heads curling around Acnologia's arms with the middle head in a growling match with him.

"ACNOLOGIA?!" Naruto's ears twitched as he was aware of who was just a few feet away observing his fight. He noticed that Ghidorah was not paying any attention to them, which was good for him. He couldn't worry about fighting Ghidorah and protecting the others.

Acnologia quickly shoves Ghidorah back as he skidded a few feet away. The two were in a standoff as they glared at one another. A low humming growl rose out of Naruto's throat as the two lunged forward. Naruto quickly tilts his head as the left head tried to chomp on Naruto's neck. The black dragon quickly retaliates with a swift swipe of his claws onto the left Ghidorah head's cheek. The left head screeched in pain as it felt some blood oozing out of the wound.

The middle head of the kaiju-dragon fired a point-blank lightning bolt at Acnologia, but the black dragon once again managed to dodge it and hit the right head with a left cross as it tried to chomp down on his right forearm. Naruto followed up with a right cross to hit the middle head, but the middle head smirked as he swirled around the fist before bit down on his arm. Naruto roars in pain as he tried to rip the middle head off, but the other two heads curled around his other arm and chest and also chomped down on vulnerable areas of flesh. Naruto gritted his teeth in pain as he continued to struggle as he tried to force the heads off of him.

His eyes widen as he felt his strength began to disappear. He looks to see blue energy go down all three necks of Ghidorah. This bastard was stealing his mana! However, before Naruto could do anything, lightning danced around the Ghidorah heads before Naruto started feeling his entire body get electrocuted. Naruto roared in pain as he lost his focus to struggling against his ensnarement.

Using this distraction, the lead Ghidorah wrapped himself around Acnologia's throat and began to squeeze along with the other two. Naruto could feel the air leave his lungs and his body began to go numb. Spit, bile, and foam began to bubble out of his mouth as his vision began to darken.

"TOU-SAN!"

Naruto's eyes snapped open as he heard his daughter screaming at him. He narrowed his eyes. He would NOT be beaten so easily. He turned his eye to see Ghidorah turning his attention to their spectators. Oh HELL NO! Ghidorah will NOT go anywhere near his kin. Meanwhile, Ghidorah had turned his attention to their spectators and planned to blast them with a gravity beam.

The golden hydra smirked as he saw the humans attempt to defend themselves. Ghidorah, however, had to forget his fun as he began to screech in pain from the scorching heat it was receiving from his tangled opponent. The three heads uncoiled as they jumped back to glare at Acnologia, who looked like his body was composed of blue and white flames!

Naruto's beady eyes glowed red as he glared at the golden kaiju. "You will not touch them!"

"We shall see." Ghidorah mocked in amusement as it spread his wings and flew back into the air. Naruto put out the flames as he unraveled his black wings as he slightly glanced back at his spectators. "What the hell are you waiting for?! Get out there and help the others. Tell them exactly what I am going to say: Keep fighting and stay out of my fight."

"Hai!" everyone exclaimed. Naruto nodded. "Good." Naruto then soars back into the air to face his opponent again. As Naruto approached Ghidorah, he tried firing another breath attack to damage its wings, but the kaiju managed to evade the attack. Ghidorah reared his three heads back and fired his gravity beams that quickly coiled around Acnologia's wings, arms, and neck.

The golden hydra raised his three heads and caused Naruto to rise above him as Ghidorah whipped his heads and sent Naruto sailing through the air and crashing into the empty GMG stadium. Naruto slammed through the walls as he landed harshly on the sandy ground as the crumbled walls of the stadium buried him.

Ghidorah stared at the crumbled remains as he rose higher into the air. He knew very well Acnologia would not be defeated by that. Suddenly several of the other rogue dragons that were not fighting the mages were flying towards Naruto's location. Ghidorah had to scoff at their actions. Did these fools think they stood a chance against Acnologia?

"Utter fools." The middle head muttered. "Hehehehehe. They are all going to die.~" The left head giggled in amusement.

The middle head bit the left head in annoyance. "Shut it." the middle ordered. "No fighting, please. We must stay in unison." The right head lectured.

The left shook its head, while the middle rolled its eyes. "Hai/Whatever." the two heads said in unison.

Meanwhile, the several man-eating dragons had surrounded the rubble of the GMG stadium as they charge up their signature attacks.

"Hit him with everything you have."

"This is our chance."

"If we manage to kill him, then together we can kill Ghidorah…."

"And with those two dead….."

"A new dragon king can rise!"

Suddenly the group saw a bright blue glow begin to flash beneath the rubble. Before the dragons could ponder any further, several destruction beams shot out of the rubble and pierced all the dragons in multiple vital areas. The rubble began to get pushed away as Naruto rose from the rubble with an annoyed expression as he looked at the dragons he had impaled.

"You filthy disgusting lizards have the GULL to try and ambush me?! Do you think of me as some greenhorn dragon that some RUBBLE would STOP ME?! NO YOUR PLACE BENEATH YOUR KING, MONGRELS!"

Naruto commanded the beams to cut through all of the dragons that had been impaled as their bloody chunks fell to the ground. The blonde dragon king turned to see an amused Ghidorah looking down at him. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he extended his wings as he rose into the air, following his kaiju opponent until the two stopped in the center of a large cumulonimbus cloud.

"I'm glad to see you up again, Acnologia." the middle head answered.

"It would be such a shame if our battle ended so soon.~" the left head teased.

"It has been a long time since we have found such a powerful opponent. Please continue to entertain us, Acnologia." The right head answered.

Acnologia growled as he gave Ghidorah a fanged smile. "I wouldn't worry so much, Ghidorah. You may have enjoyed the first round, but let's see how you handle Round 2?"

"Yes indeed.~" the three heads said in unison. Suddenly several more dragons appeared as they surrounded the two dragons. Both Ghidorah and Acnologia growled in annoyance at the interruption to their fight.

"I hope you have a solution to this interference, Acnologia? I doubt flying higher would do any good."

[Naruto Shippuden OST: Crimson Flames]

Naruto continued to glare at the dragons and Ghidorah. Suddenly, Ghidorah and the dragons began to hear a dark, malicious laugh erupt out of Acnologia's mouth.

"Oh don't worry," Naruto said as he gave them a dark smirk. "I have the perfect spell to take care of them and give you some entertainment. That is if you can survive."

Ghidorah began to laugh in amusement. "And what kind of spell is that?" the three heads asked in unison.

Naruto's magical aura began to envelop his entire body as he began to part the clouds and revealing the starry sky above. "Simple. I will give you and these mongrels the privilege of seeing one of my secret spells."

This caused Ghidorah to narrow his eyes. Dragons were creatures of incredible power. Their bodies expelled magical energy. A single spell/attack could crush mountains with ease. Secret Spells technically existed before even the idea of dragonslayers crossed Naruto's puny human mind. They were the strongest attacks that all dragons had and only used when absolutely necessary. They were, for the most part, used to utterly destroy a dragon's enemy. One spell alone could eradicate an army if necessary.

However, Naruto was an interesting case. He was a human that became a relatively powerful mage. For a human, anyway. But then the brat created dragonslayer magic and got stronger. And as he killed more, he grew more and more powerful until he reached the highest echelon of a normal dragon's power. He obtained the power of the dragon king. Something unheard of. The idea of any human reaching the strength of a dragon king was simply impossible. However, Naruto proved those claims wrong. Most dragons at minimum have 5 secret spells and a max of around 7 spells. However, as Naruto is no ordinary dragon; he may have more than seven secret spells in his arsenal.

Ghidorah was cut from his musings as Naruto's magical pressure had reached its peak. Naruto gave his enemies a psychotic grin as he began to cackle with his tribal markings glowing a bright blue. It had been so long since he had to use the secret spells. He rarely used them and usually only used the secret spells of other attributes. He would only use his secret spells against someone truly powerful or someone that he wanted to utterly kill. The last time he technically used them was when he demonstrated a few to Wendy. However, he only showed her a few that were the least devastating, which wasn't saying much. All of his secret spells were devastating as one alone could easily eradicate the capital of Fiore with ease.

Now he was about to use the spell that made him infamous around all of Earthland. That spell that allowed him to wipe out all life in an entire country in a single night. He raised his head and looked at the blood-red moon with glowing white eyes and roared, "FILTHY, MONGRELS! VANISH INTO EXTINCTION! ETERNAL FLARE!"

Suddenly several of the stars in the sky glowed before several meteorites began to descend from the heavens and straight towards Ghidorah and the other dragons. Ghidorah managed to quickly form an electric pulse barrier to protect himself. Ghidorah shook within the barrier as the bright meteors slammed in it.

'The shield is maintaining, but I am still feeling the impact from the meteors. This is an impressive spell. Then again, I shouldn't expect anything less from him.'

Unfortunately, the dragons in the air and down in the capital were not as lucky as they were all easily stuck and either injured or instantly killed. However, the dragons that were not the only thing injured. Large portions of the capital were destroyed by the spell and caused fires to spread all around the city with smoke rising into the air. The landscape around the capital was also turned into a hellish wasteland of black ash and bright orange flames.

Ghidorah looked down at the destruction caused by Acnologia's spell. He noticed though that only the dragons attacking the humans were injured, none of the humans were harmed by his attack. Ghidorah looked back at his opponent.

"I must admit that was impressive, Acnologia. That spell was quite devastating. Though I doubt that was the spell's full power. Still, the power you showed was impressive. You managed to kill all the dragons that had surrounded us and several of the ones below. Yet no human was harmed."

Acnologia snorted. "Did you think I don't have control of my spell that I don't know what I want to target. Please. I have complete control over all my spells and they only harm who I want it to. However, for the more destructive spells, I take precautions."

"Ah the enchantment." the right head realized.

"It protected all of them.~" the left head giggled out.

Acnologia nodded. "Indeed." the black dragon then glared at Ghidorah. "But I think we should back to our business you golden abomination."

Ghidorah's heads smirked. "Yes indeed." Ghidorah's body began to glow gold as lightning began to erupt out of his body and began to dance around the clouds around them. The clouds began to converge and swirl around them as more lightning continued to be released out of the golden hydra's body and dancing around the now giant hurricane consuming the two.

Acnologia gave a fanged smirk. "Oh? So you want to create a storm, Ghidorah? Well, two can play this game!" Suddenly a pale blue-white aura covers Naruto's body as the clouds began to grow and converge around them even more as bluish-white and yellow lightning began to dance around them.

Naruto continues to laugh maliciously as his aura grew fiercer along with the artificial magical storm. This spell was based on a story that Kurama told him. The tale of the Juubi, the original form of all the bijuu and the primordial beast of the Elemental Nations. The creature could destroy continents and create devastating storms on a whim. Thus came the inspiration for this attack. To remember his past as the last descendant of Kaguya Otsutsuki and to show this world both his fearsome power and the power of the old world he came from.

Ghidorah's eyes narrowed as he felt the incredible power Acnologia was releasing. Ghidorah retailed by increasing the power output of the storm he began, but Naruto countered by releasing even more power as the two were locked in a stalemate of power as the storm got stronger. The two continued to unleash more power as their opposing lightning clashed against one another as the two auras grew fiercer. Naruto smirks as he releases the apex of his power and roars,

"TASTE THE POWER THAT WAS ONCE WIELDED BY A PRIMORDIAL BEAST GHIDORAH! TENPENCHII (Natural Disaster Befalling Heaven and Earth)!"

A bright blue flash erupted out of Naruto just as Ghidorah erupted in a huge yellow flash. The two flashes collided as they fused to create a bright white flash as several F1 to F2 tornadoes formed and tore through the capital and most of the landscape surrounding it and giant bolts of lightning flying downward. Finally, a final blast flashed through the sky and slammed into the center of the capital. When the light faded, Naruto was still in his dragon form as his body was still covered in a white aura. He looked to see Ghidorah was not harmed by the attack, except for some scratches and wounds all over his body, but they were slowly healing. The minor injuries Naruto felt were slowly fading as well.

Naruto took a glance to see that the crater form from their two attacks was being filled with water and several of the tornadoes formed were dying down. He also noticed that the storm clouds were gone, but there were still plenty of clouds that obscured the two and most of the night sky.

[Naruto OST: Chain Explosion Part I]

Naruto turns his attention back to Ghidorah. The two glare at one another before they once more dashed towards the other. As the two were just a few feet from one another, Acnologia reared his head back before launching a roar attack to Ghidorah's middle head. Ghidorah's head managed to maneuver away from the blast. He quickly retaliated with a tail strike, but Naruto quickly leaned back to dodge the attack. The black dragon reared his arms back and clapped them together.

As soon as the two limbs connected, a sonic boom erupted from the hands and rippled across Ghidorah's body. The golden hydra let out a screech of pain as he shook his three heads. When the three looked back at their opponent, they could tell something was wrong. There were several Acnologia and they were all spinning. Ghidorah tried to shake the dizziness off, but that was proving to be easier said than done.

Naruto took this opportunity and grab Ghidorah's left head with his arm as Naruto charged his mana into his other hand and formed another rasengan. With a mighty roar, Acnologia slammed the ball of ethernano into the base of the left Ghidorah's neck. The three heads screeched in pain as the sphere grind and ripped through the scales, muscles, nerves, and bones around the neck and collar of the left head before it was finally ripped apart. The still disoriented heads tried to attack, but Naruto smacks the skulls of the two heads by using the severed Ghidorah head like a club. With the two heads distracted, Naruto discarded the severed head as he changed his forearms into a pair of dark silver drills.

"Tetsuryu no Doriru (Iron Dragon's Drills)!" Naruto thrust both of his drill arms into the sides of Ghidorah's abdomen. The golden hydra was once more screeching in pain as it felt the iron drills piercing through his scales and beginning to pierce the skin. However, Ghidorah was not an opponent to be underestimated at any time.

The two heads shook their heads as they finally regained their bearings and released out of their dizziness. The two heads glared down at Naruto. Ghidorah raised his two spiked tails and slammed them onto Naruto's skull. The black dragon flinched from the force of the attack as it was now his turn to be disoriented.

Taking this opportunity, Ghidorah lifted his two legs and slammed two fierce frontal kicks into Acnologia's chest. Naruto coughed as he was sent back a bit as his drill arms came out of Ghidorah's sides. The middle head reared back and fired off a large gravity beam that landed on the center of Acnologia's chest as the other head unleashed a torrent of ignited plasma that scorched Naruto's left side of his face, wing, and forearm.

Naruto gritted his fangs in pain as he was sent flying down diagonally. He could feel the gravity beam piercing his chest scales and burning his vulnerable muscles. The bigger problem was from the plasma flames. Naruto could feel the left half of his body parts getting melted as the flesh was burned away. Naruto quickly extended his right-wing and used it with some wind manipulation to push himself upwards and get out of the two-beam attacks.

Naruto growled as his wounds singed as smoke came out of them. The blonde king could feel and hear the smoldering skin bubbling around his body. His chest scales were completely blown apart revealing vulnerable chest muscle and tissue that was scorched away revealing black, burnt muscle tissue and tendons.

However, it was Naruto's left side that suffered the most damage. That superheated plasma had incinerated away his right-wing, arm, and leg. The three appendages had been completely eradicated and left those wounds cauterized with black and red burnt muscle sealing the wounds. The left side of his face was completely melted leaving nothing but bone and small scorched muscle tissue on the burnt bones. His eyeball had exploded from the extreme heat; leaving a gaping socket with white liquid dripping down like tears from the skull. Hell, the only reason he was not plummeting down was because of him using his wind magic to keep himself floating.

Naruto was cut from his musing as he was slammed by a surprise attack from Ghidorah. Before the black dragon could retaliate, he felt something from his connection to the enchantment he cast. He focused on the abnormality and found it was coming from Ultear. His single eye widens before it narrowed in annoyance. He did not have the time to deal with this bullshit!

'Don't even think about it.'

'WHAT?!'

'Don't even think about casting that spell.'

'Naruto?! How the hell are you talking to me right now.'

Before Naruto could respond, Ghidorah was right above him and was about to strike with his tails…..if Naruto had not been able to barely catch the attack with right arm. Naruto gritted his teeth in anger and suppressed pain. 'I am speaking to you with great difficulty while trying to fight a KAIJU!' Ghidorah raised his eyebrows in confusion. What could Acnologia accomplish in his condition?

Naruto gave a hardened glare with his half-burnt face to his enemy. He raised his scorched arm and gave a slight growl. Suddenly, a geyser of blood erupted out of the torched limb. Ghidorah was left stunned at just what was Naruto planning. Then to the kaiju's astonishment, the blood morphed into the shape of a spiked thorn whip.

"Ketsuekiryu no Toge Muchi (Blood Dragon's Thorn Whip)!" Naruto struck a fierce slash that pushed Ghidorah back. He then morphed his blood whip into a giant fist. He reared the giant appendage back as Ghidorah reared his middle head back.

"Ketsuekiryu no Hoken (Blood Dragon's Breakdown Fist)!"

"Gravity Beam!"

The two attacks collided as they created a blood-red mist cloud that enveloped the two dragons.

'So I am going to keep this brief. While the spell you plan to cast would be able to reverse time, the price would be too high. You would move back time back maybe one minute. That's it, and it would cost you all of your remaining years of life.'

'So I am ordering you ...Do NOT cast that spell, understood?'

Naruto sighed as Ultear said she understood, 'Good,' and cut the connection. Good lord, he felt like a parent lecturing their child. He might be signing more than a few papers after tonight it seems, he mused. Naruto shook his head as he focused back on his fight as the blood-red mist dissipated with Ghidorah looking no worse for wear.

The two glared at one another in silence before Ghidorah began to chuckle. Naruto was going to ask what he found so amusing until he saw something. The collar of the left head was bubbling as a mast of flesh and liquid rose out. It grew until it was the same length as the other two heads as muscle and tissue grew as flesh pink skin covered the muscle. Finally, golden scales grew as the new head completely regenerated.

The left head shook his head before getting his bearing and focusing on Acnologia. The left head began to laugh in amusement.

"Why hello again, Acnologia.~" the left head cheered. "I see you're trying a new look. It suits you."

Naruto growled, "Of course you can regenerate your heads."

"What would you have us do? Leave the head missing?" the left head shook. "That would be terrible. Plus there's no symmetry to having only two heads."

The middle bit the right horn of the left head. "You're talking too much." the middle head growled in irritation.

"Oh come on. That's part of the fun." the left head whined.

"The only fun I want is this black lizard begging for mercy." the middle head retorted as he shifted his eyes to Acnologia.

"I will die before that happens." Naruto snarled in annoyance.

"Well, that can be arranged." the right head replied before turning to the two bickering heads.

"Now if you two are quite done arguing..."

"No/Yes." the middle and left heads said, simultaneously.

Naruto shook his head at the spectacle. He had forgotten about the unique personalities that each Ghidorah head had and the constant bickering between the three heads. He always wondered how those three heads could cooperate at all. It was still amusing to see, despite the current situation at hand.

Naruto growled as his body glowed green as black and blue miasma erupted out of the damaged limbs before they regenerated into a new arm, leg, and wing. His face was soon enveloped in steam as muscle tissue began covering bone again. A new eyeball grew as skin now covered the muscle and new black scales grew to cover the face. Naruto shook his head as he tested his new regenerated limbs as he was back to normal. Satisfied he turned to see an amused Ghidorah watching him.

"Well, now we are back to square one." the right head groaned.

"Feels like we completely wasted time and energy trying to rip each other's limbs.~" the left head quipped.

"If you want to beat us Acnologia. You're going to have to try harder." the right head warned.

"And don't think we'll just stand here and do nothing." the middle head mocked.

"You'd be fucking arrogant to just stand there and do nothing. If I can't beat you by ripping off limbs, then I will have to beat you until you can't get up." Naruto snarled in response.

The three heads laughed. "Oh come now. Don't act like your not enjoying this fight, Acnologia." the right head lectured.

"It's the most fun we've had in centuries. It would be such a shame to kill you.~" the left head cheered.

"Yes indeed, but necessary." the middle head said as Ghidorah's body began to glow golden.

"You're right I am enjoying this. But I am on a timetable, so let's speed things up." Naruto's body also began glowing a bright blue.

The two then dashed into blue and yellow blurs. The two dragons collided against one another multiple times as sonic booms with blue and yellow lightning erupting from each of their collisions. This continued for several minutes before the two separated several feet away before dashing forward to clash once more. This time the two stayed in the same spot as they fought for dominance before they were enveloped in a bright flash. When the flash dissipated the two bright flashes were spiraling together as the two dragons continued to fight as they descended to the ground below.

The two drilled into the ground sending a quake throughout the entire capital and causing everyone to stumble from the sheer force of the land below. The behemoths continue to burrow underground until they reach a clearing they stumbled into.

Naruto shakes his head as he becomes aware of his bearings. He was in the dragon graveyard. 'So I end up in the place where I first embraced the name of Acnologia. Don't know if this is irony or perhaps inevitable that I end up here again?' Naruto mused as he looked at his surroundings. He had not set foot in this place for 400 years. The last time he came was when he was still fighting in the Dragon Civil War. He was trying to save one girl, but he failed and in his rage took it out on the murderers.

To this day, he can still remember the words his dying enemy ranted to him. That bastard had the gull to compare him to that abomination, The Dark One. The one feared by all dragons. Now Naruto had taken many names in the past to now, but Acnologia was a unique case. He only accepted it because he wanted to instill fear into all his enemies when they heard his name. Even if it meant being associated with HIM. However, this also led to his remaining allies, except a select few, to be afraid of him as well. Both friends and enemies alike saw him as a threat. As a monster. Just like that THING. Someone that will destroy everything and everyone around them.

Naruto was cut from his musings when he had to duck under a gravity beam blasting into his face. He looks up to glare at a smug Ghidorah standing a few feet away from him.

"Enjoyed your little trip down memory lane?" Ghidorah mocked as Naruto snarled. "Hm?" The two side heads took a glance at their surroundings to see the numerous bones and remains of dragons surrounding the two. "Where you the one that killed these dragons? Then it would be appropriate and ironic for you to die here?"

Naruto growled. "The only one who will die here is you." He then outstretched his clawed arms as he semi-closed them. Suddenly the skeletal remains of the deceased dragons began to shake violently as the entire cavern shook from the vibrations. Ghidorah tensed its body for anything that could occur. "Hmm. Do you plan to use bone dragon slaying magic on me?" Naruto smirked in response. "Something like that."

Suddenly the skeletal remains rose into the air as they converged into the shape of a large dragon construct that was covered in a gray and yellow aura. Ghidorah's snorted. "This is the best you can do, Acnologia?"

"This is rather weak.~"

"I honestly expected more from you."

Naruto gave a scoff the the the three-headed kaiju. "Talk your trash after you have beaten it, kaiju." The bone construct lunged forward as Ghidorah continued to look unimpressed. The golden dragon raised its three heads and fired three gravity beams to the construct. However, to its surprise, the bone creature absorbed the bolts as they all converged into the maw of the construct as it fired the bolts right back.

Ghidorah quickly wrapped his wings around himself as the gravity beams collided into him. The kaiju gritted its teeth as it felt the force of his attack. Something that annoyed the golden hydra something fierce. Ghidorah screeched in rage as it repelled the bolts. The construct reared its arm and thrust forward, but the middle Ghidorah head fires a gravity beam to immobilize the construct from moving further. The two side heads then fire a massive torrent of hot plasma that melts the construct. Ghidorah turned its attention back to Acnologia, only to find him gone.

Suddenly Naruto appears right in front of Ghidorah with two bone stakes coming out of his wrists. The kaiju had little time to react as Naruto stabs him through the lower jaws of his two side heads and slams them back into the ground. He then proceeded to stab the two tails to keep them in place. Naruto grabs the middle head as he charged a roar attack to launch down Ghidorah's throat. However, Ghidorah's body began to glow golden yellow as the eyes of the three heads glow a bright yellow. The side heads broke free and rose themselves as the three launched gravity beams just as Naruto launched a destruction roar. The close range collision of the attacks causes a massive eruption of power that causes the capital to shake as violent geysers of power erupts from the ground below.

Suddenly one last violent shake causes the ground to rip open as a massive geyser of power erupts as Naruto and Ghidorah soar into the air. The two paused as they reached a suitable height in the sky.

[Naruto OST: Hard Battle]

"Hmm. At a standstill again." the right head said.

"Ready for round 3, Acnologia?~" the left head quipped.

"You will fall and I will take your throne." the middle head promised.

Naruto scoffed. "You won't live through this day to take the throne, Ghidorah," Ghidorah smirked as golden lightning danced around his body. The kaiju narrowed his eyes in concentration as several spheres of golden lightning formed around him. With a flick of his heads, the spheres launch towards Naruto. The black dragon responds quickly by summoning four kienzans, one in each hand and foot. He hurls them before spreading his wings and summoning several ethereal blades and firing them as well.

However, to Naruto's surprise the moment the discs and blades pierced/sliced the orbs, they broke up into smaller orbs and became even faster. 'Fucking copy cat. But I will play your game, Ghidorah.' Naruto snarled as he created a water barrier to block and absorb the electric spheres. Thankfully, water conducts electricity. Naruto noticed that his attacks were destroyed by a pulse blast from Ghidorah.

The blonde king raises his arm as the electrified water swirled around him into the shape of a large whirlpool. He then summons swirls of fire, wind, ice, and pure magical energy into the swirling vortex. The vortex expanded to eclipse Naruto's dragon form and with a flick of the wrist, the vortex swirled into the shape of a large elemental dragon.

"Sixtuple Unison Raid: Spiralling Elemental Dragon Drill Bullet!" The elemental construct roared as it flew towards Ghidorah. The golden hydra was not the least bit intimidated as it roared and released another large electrical pulse to counter the elemental drill bullet. The construct struggled to push past the pulse, but the electrical shockwave held strong as it pushed the dragon back. The two attacks struggled for several more minutes before a bright dome began to form between the two before erupting in an explosion that enveloped the two attacks.

Naruto raised his arms to cover his eyes and avoiding the blinding light of the explosion. From the gaps through his fingers, he saw Ghidorah coming straight at him again. He was not going to be ensnared again by the kaiju! Ghidorah was just an arm's length away from Naruto, however as he dived down to him, Naruto turned into wisps of black and red shadows.

"WHAT?!" the heads exclaimed.

"Where did he go?!" the middle head demanded. Behind them, the shadows merged back into the black dragon. Using his enemies distraction, he rears his head back and roars,

"Soruryu no Moeru Yona Hono (Soul Dragon's Searing Flames)!" A wave of black and indigo flames erupted from Naruto's maw and enveloped Ghidorah's back and consuming the two side heads in flames. The golden hydra screeched in agony. Flames shouldn't be capable of harming him this badly! So why was he feeling so much excruciating pain?! It feels like he's being ripped from the inside and out!

The kaiju turned his body, just in time to see Naruto fly back and slam into him. Ghidorah would have tried to fire a gravity beam from the center head, if not for the fact that Naruto grabbed the middle head with his clawed foot by the throat. Ghidorah looked in shock as Naruto smirked at him.

"Just to remind you, I was raised by Thoron AND Saphira. Her soul flames had two sides to them. The holy half had purification and healing properties. However, the other side of those flames has similar attributes to hellfire! Causing pain to the body inside and out along with the soul. Even Atlas Flame had to watch it when facing my mother as her flames were some of the few things that could harm him."

"You won't win with just this." the middle head grunted.

Naruto chuckled in response. "I know."

Naruto smirked down as he stretched out his two arms with open palms. In the left arm, a white-bluish orb formed that had a brilliant shine similar to the moon, while the right hand formed a crimson yellow orb that was similar to a miniature sun. He then condensed the two orbs to a size that would fit in the palm of his claws. Naruto brought the two condensed orbs together in his maw as they merged into a glowing silver orb before eating it. Ghidorah's eyes widen as he knew what was coming next.

"Nisshokuryu no Hoko (Eclipse Dragon's Roar)!" Ghidorah barely manages to tilt his body away as a gigantic silver beam of mana erupted from Naruto's jaws. Ghidorah screeched in pain as the beam enveloped a portion of his body and flew through the air until it reached the mountain range, north to the capital. Everything was quiet as a brilliant flash of light enveloped the northern horizon…

KABOOOOOOOM!

before a gigantic explosion enveloped the area and completely wiped out nearly every mountain in the northern horizon. Dust and debris flew everywhere as a powerful gust of wind bellowed throughout the entire capital and blowing down several of the surrounding buildings along with the limbs and corpses of the dead dragons. When the explosion died down, Naruto looked to see Ghidorah was still alive. Which he expected as the kaiju would not fall so easily. He had lost one of his heads (again), left leg, and tail. His wing was shredded, but it was still usable for flight and his middle head had lost an eye.

Naruto gave a smug grin. "Guess we're even now, Ghidorah." he Ghidorah growled before snorting. The middle bit down at the chunks of the damaged left head and ripped it off as a new head grew in its place just as new limbs regrew as well.

"At another stalemate.~" the left head cheered.

"This is becoming rather bothersome. One of us needs to tip this stalemate." the right head exasperated.

"Maybe we can get Acnologia to use another secret spell on us. Let's see if that will do something." the left head suggested.

"Shut it, both of you." the middle head snapped at the other two.

"What?" the left head exclaimed. "You know it's true and we know your thinking the same thing. We share a body and our brains are connected!"

"For once I agree with that head of yours," Naruto muttered before he paused as he sensed something within the capital. Something he had not sensed in a LONG time.

The power of a celestial titan and a phoenix. And if he was right, at the center of those powers were Eclair and Katja. Now the connection with Katja made a lot more sense as there was only one other stellar mage who could use the celestial titans. Oh boy, he is going to be busy when this was all over. As for Eclair, Naruto had to hold back a flinch. Now he understood why she seemed so familiar. She was a phoenix priestess, which made things a lot more complicated for him and the girl. He mentally sighed and decided to deal with that skeleton at a later date.

Refocusing on Ghidorah, Naruto contemplated his current predicament. Most of his attacks have done some damage to Ghidorah. But the bastard quickly recovers from it. But there has to be a limit to how much damage he could recover from. He just needs to find the right spell to attack Ghidorah with. But the question is what spell he should use.

He could use another secret spell with a lot more power to it. But there was an issue. If he used too much power, he could harm or even kill Ghidorah, but the issue would be the harm the resulting explosion would cause to the surrounding area. Enchantment or not, there will be deaths caused by his attack. On the other hand, if he used less power to avoid harming others, Ghidorah will just come barely unscathed and all he would have accomplished is wasting mana. Naruto briefly glances at his opponent to see several burns still visible on the side that Ghidorah regenerated.

'That last attack left some damage despite him recovering. If that was at the dead center then its possible Ghidorah would be more severely injured. All I have to do is make sure that Ghidorah can't dodge.'

He notices two large chunks of the mountain range he just destroyed. A plan quickly formulates as he focuses back on the kaiju.

"Do you have a plan now, Acnologia?" Acnologia narrowed his eyes as he created several clones that quickly charged towards Ghidorah. The golden monster snorted. Really? Clones? That's the best he could come up with? Either he is stalling or he has no idea what he's doing. The kaiju was pretty sure its the former. As the clones attack Ghidorah, the original Acnologia flicks his right wrist as two large dark portals appear above two of the remaining mountains before dropping down as the mountains are enveloped by the portals. He turns his attention back to Ghidorah as he killed the last of his clones.

"Is that all you have, Acnologia?" the middle head asked.

"Come now, you can do better than that." the right head lectured.

Naruto shrugged as he smirked at them. "As you wish." Suddenly two large dark portals appeared above and below Ghidorah as the mountains came out of the portals. Ghidorah's eyes widen before he begins laughing. "Interesting idea, but this WILL FAIL!" Ghidorah released a massive electrical pulse that destroys the two mountains with relative ease.

Ghidorah notices that Acnologia had clasped his claws together. His eyes narrow as he felt something from the center of the palms.

"I don't know what your planning, Acnologia, but I will not allow you to use it."

Naruto smirked at the approaching kaiju. "I can't believe the irony of me using this to stall you. But drastic times call for drastic measures."

Suddenly, out of several points of Naruto's body, silver chains erupted out of his back and made a straight beeline towards Ghidorah. The kaiju's eyes widen as it tried to avoid the incoming attack, but it was too close to evade them as the chains ensnared several parts of his body. Ghidorah struggled to be released from the chains but they would not relent and he even felt himself get weaker.

Were the chains suppressing his power? What is this?!

He turns as he hears Acnologia's laugh. "I see you're wondering what these chains are? Lets just they are just something from my past that I NEVER thought I would ever use. But life can handle you some interesting surprises." Which is true. Naruto never wanted to use anything that reminded him of his parents. The rasengan was a bit of an exception as that was something he learned before learning about his heritage. However, despite his desire to not have any connection to Minato and Kushina, he still learned and uses many abilities that both of them used frequently and were even master at. The sealing arts being the most prominent skill he shares with them. And the rasengan and chains being another set of skills he shares in common with them.

And after the seven years to think and venting out to Wendy, his hatred and prejudice against them had been cleared from his vision. So he could now objectively look at both of them without going completely berserk due to his past. He may not acknowledge the name of Uzumaki, but Kushina's blood will always flow through his veins. That is a truth that he has come to accept, along with what that entailed. If using this part of his forgotten heritage will help protect what he holds so dear then so be it.

Naruto opened his palms to reveal a large black sphere. It was not a rasengan, but something completely different. Naruto smirked. "I am going to have to thank Hinata for all the jutsus and memories she recorded in her journal," he muttered as he glared at Ghidorah.

"Chibaku Tensei!" The black sphere launches towards Ghidorah and lands at the center of his chest. The golden kaiju flinched as he felt his body get pulled into the sphere, but Ghidorah using every once of his strength to resist the pull.

"If you think a gravity ball would stop me, you're mistaken Acnologia!" Ghidorah roared as he struggled against the gravitational pull of the sphere.

Naruto smirked in response. "I know that."

Suddenly, Ghidorah noticed several chunks of rock and wood began to gather and pile on top of him and the sphere. The debris continued to gather until a giant planetoid stood before Naruto as he dismissed the chains.

The black dragon king raises his head as several particles of ethernano began to gather above his maw. However, these were not any ordinary particles, but positive and negative charged particles. The particles gathered together to form a sphere that grew in size as more particles converged into the sphere until it was half the size of the rock planetoid. Naruto extends his wings and tail to the sphere. Slowly, the giant ball of ethernano began to shrink in size becoming denser and sending a few shockwaves from the sheer weight of power held in the sphere. When the sphere was shrunk down to the size of a marble relative to Naruto's current size, he opened his jaws and swallowed the ball. Naruto's cheeks quickly bloated along with his stomach. Heh, this is the fourth technique he uses from his old world in this fight. Fifth if the rasengan was included. How amusing. He rears his head back and roars,

"LET'S SEE YOU HANDLE MY SECOND SECRET SPELL! METSURYU OUGI: BIJUUDAMA (Tailed Beast Bomb/Ball)!"

The condensed ball of mana flew out of Naruto's jaw like a speeding comet soaring into outer space. It reached the planetoid in less than a second. When the bomb reached the sphere, there was a brilliant white flash.

Everything became completely silent. Nothing could be heard. Not the billowing winds, the fighting below Naruto, and not even his breathing. Naruto was in a white void of silence. However, that silence quickly ended as soon as it came. The bright flash condensed back before erupting into an explosion equivalent to 100 megatons of TNT. The explosion was so powerful it forced Naruto to create a barrier to avoid being sent flying back.

Everyone else below was not so lucky as the explosion was so powerful that it released shockwaves that sent both enemies and a few allies flying just from the sheer force of the blast. And the blast was so bright that it caused the night sky to turn completely into daylight. This blast was so strong and bright that it could be seen for hundreds of miles from the neighboring countries around Fiore, and anyone with sensory capabilities were completely overwhelmed by what they were sensing in the direction of the blast. Just what was going on was the thought going through their minds?!

The blast lasted for several more minutes before the blast began to shrink and die down, Naruto shook his head to get the spots out of his eyes. That was a lot more powerful than he expected, however, it was necessary to make sure Ghidorah would be beaten. He deactivated his barrier as he saw the massive smoke cloud caused by the explosion.

Naruto sighed. "Finally this is over with. Now to take care of that annoying ass gate." However, a lightning bolt suddenly fired out of the huge dust cloud and struck Naruto's left eye. "ARGH!" he roared in pain. He turned to back to the giant cloud in disbelief, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

Out of the giant dust cloud, came a battered but still alive Ghidorah. The middle head lost an eye and a piece of his right horn. The side heads had their necks burned, along with several parts of its body battered and burned.

"I WILL NOT FALL LIKE THIS ACNOLOGIA!"

"DAMMIT, IT ALL TO HELL! WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" Naruto roars as his body is coated in blue mana and lunged towards the speeding Ghidorah. The dragon and kaiju collided against one another as blue and yellow electrical shockwaves ripple from the collision. The two separate and become literal balls of lightning as they blitzed through the sky as they continued to clash against one another. With each clash between the two, a flash of lightning illuminates the sky, showing their silhouettes to the mages and dragons below them.

The two had one last clash as they tried to dominate the other but the two were locked in another stalemate. Both growled as they pushed more mana into their attack and causing more lightning to ripple from the two. After one final shove, the two jump back and retaliated again with,

"GRAVITY BEAM!"

"HAKAI NO HOKO!"

The two signature attacks collided once more in a bright explosion as the two stared each other down. Naruto narrowed his eyes. He needed to end this fight. He had one way to do so but was hoping to save this for more dire situations, but this fight has gone on for long enough. A bright aura began to cover Naruto's draconian body as his tribal marking began to emit a faint glow. Ghidorah tensed as he felt the spike in Acnologia's power and its continuing rise in potency. It didn't know what the black dragon had planned, but the golden hydra wasn't going to take chances.

Ghidorah began powering up its mana to counter anything Naruto may have in store for him. The two continued to rise their magical power as their auras collided against one another. Lightning crackled from the shockwaves their auras created as they clashed against one another.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the two dragons were interrupted by a loud explosion from below them. The two looked down to see the Eclipse Gate was destroyed. Naruto gave a prideful smirk. 'So they finally destroyed the bloody gate. It's about time. Though slamming into it would not have been my way, but it worked so I can't complain.'

Naruto looks around to see several lights shine around the ruined capital, he turned to see Ghidorah also glowing. 'They are returning to their original timeline.' he mused. 'Its finally over.'

BANG! BOOM!

However, Naruto was cut from his thoughts as he was harshly hit from behind. He felt his back burn from the surprise attack. He turned to see Ghidorah holding onto his wings with his feet as the three heads glared down at him with his entire body covered in a golden glow. The two side heads bit down unto the sides of his neck. Acnologia flinched as he once more felt his mana quickly drain from his body as Ghidorah grew stronger. The kaiju-dragon then focused its additional power as the side heads released their grips and all three heads began charging up their power to their maws.

"Did you think this would stop me, Acnologia?" the middle head mocked.

"That was rather naive of you, Acnologia." the right head chastised.

"And it will cost you dearly!" the left head gleefully cackled.

"GRAVITY BEAMS!" The three heads roared in unison as they fired three large blasts at point-blank range. Naruto's vision went completely white with the last thing he felt was the searing burns from Ghidorah's gravity beams on his back. Naruto could feel his body falling before slamming hard into the ground around the destroyed Eclipse Gate.

"ACNOLOGIA/NARUTO/TOU-SAN!" Naruto growled as he slowly rose back to his feet, but the pain he was feeling was excruciating. Just the hell was he thinking?! How could he just let his guard down like that?! All because he saw the gate being destroyed. Was he that NAIVE AND ARROGANT STILL?! EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME?!

A powerful gust of wind billowed around the remnants of the Eclipse Gate. The mages and dragons around the gate covered their eyes from the force of the winds. When the winds calmed down, the majority of the mages turned a pale shade of white as they saw the cause of the gust of wind. Standing just a few feet away from them was none other than King Ghidorah. Igneel and Grandeeney rushed in front of the humans as they growled at the golden kaiju.

Ghidorah merely scoffed at the dragon's attempt to protect the weak humans. However, their attention was focused on their opponent. "Hahahaha. You've lost your touch Acnologia."

"Honestly to let your guard down after the eclipse gate was destroyed. Either you were being overly optimistic ..." the right head lectured.

"Or you're just plain stupid.~" slurred the left head.

The three heads slowly moved towards Naruto's down form. However, several blasts of fire and wind blocked their path. "You won't touch him!" several voices shouted.

The three heads turned in amusement to see Igneel and Grandeeney growling at the golden kaijuu along with the mages that looked ready to fight. However, Ghidorah's attention was focused on two individuals in the crowd. Wendy and Lucy. More specifically the scent he was getting from the bluenette.

"Ho? Is that your daughter, Acnologia. I can smell your scent on her. That blond girl also resembles that Anna woman. Is she one of your descendants?" The middle head wondered out loud. The two girls stiffen, Wendy in anger while Lucy was in fear and confusion, as the dragons and human mages tensed in preparation to fight the kaiju.

"Hmm. Maybe we should play with them first." The left head suggested.

"Yes first them and then you'll be the main course." The right head confirmed.

[GKOTM OST: King of the Monsters]

One of the heads lunged forward, but it was caught by the outstretched claw of Acnologia. Everyone turned to Acnologia, and they all gasped in surprise. The reason? Acnologia's body had recovered as his tribal markings were glowing.

But the marks were not their normal brilliant blue, but a deep crimson red as a bloody red aura covered his body.

Everyone quickly felt the massive spike in Acnologia's power along with the incredible heat that he was emitting as the rubble around him began to melt in a manner of seconds. Everyone quickly backed up as they did not want to get caught in the intense aura as Igneel and Grandeeney retreat in front of the mages to protect them from the heat and to stay out of Naruto's way.

Ghidorah quickly managed to release itself from Naruto's grip. The three heads glared at the black dragon as his power continued to rise. This was probably what Acnologia planned to use before the two noticed the destruction of the gate. However, Ghidorah would not be intimidated by a color swap! Ghidorah reared his three heads back and fired his gravity beams. However, to his shock, Acnologia stood there and took the blasts head-on. The more shocking part was that Acnologia was not moved an inch by his attack!

Naruto had been completely still with his head down since Ghidorah's head got out of his grip. The black dragon raised his head to show instead of white beady eyes, he had blood-red eyes with black slits.

"THIS ENDS NOW!" Naruto lunges as he slams into Ghidorah. He swiftly grabs the two side heads and uses his incredible strength to lift the golden kaiju and hurl him high into the air. Naruto quickly followed after him.

Ghidorah regains his balance and tried to blast Naruto again, but the black dragon merely shrugged them off. Naruto's tribal markings began to glow rapidly as Naruto gives a mighty roar as a crimson pulse erupted out of Naruto's body. Ghidorah screeched in pain as it was hit by the pulse. He felt like his entire body was on fire! The kaiju tried to get closer to Naruto to counterattack, but the dragon king would not give him that opportunity. He unleashes another pulse that was even stronger than the last one as they burned and melted off the side heads of Ghidorah.

Ghidorah screeched in pain again as Naruto coldly glared at the golden dragon and released one last pulse. This one managed to burn off Ghidorah's wings. Naruto quickly flew in and caught him before he could fall to the ground by holding firmly onto the middle head's throat. He raises his free arm as a large rasengan began to form in his palm.

However, this was not the peak as Naruto pumped more power into the rasengan as it began to change form. The rasengan gained a white hue as four wind blades spun around the center of the Rasengan. Mana continued to be poured into the rasengan as the blades grew longer and went event faster. A loud screeching sound could be heard as everyone below looked in awe of the new technique they were witnessing. Many saw how similar this attack was to Wendy's, but much bigger and much more powerful.

"What is that?" Hisui asked as everyone looked in awe and fear of the attack due to the sheer amount of mana oozing out of it.

"That's the evolution of my current rasengan and one of the most powerful variants my father created," Wendy explained.

"It feels incredible," Lucy replied with several others nodding.

"But that sound is ear grating," Natsu grumbled in annoyance with the two dragons nodding in agreement.

"Wendy, what is the spell's name?" Mira asked.

Wendy smiled. "It's called the…"

"RASENSHURIKEN!" Naruto roared as he slammed the giant spiraling shuriken into the abdomen of Ghidorah. It easily pierced through the kaiju's golden scales and right into his abdomen. Ghidorah gave one final screech as he and Naruto were enveloped in a giant electrical flash….

KABOOM!

As a massive explosion erupted in the skies. Everyone near the vicinity covered their eyes from the brilliant flash of the explosion. All the other mages and dragons turned their attention as the saw the explosion go off and the flash that followed it.

The explosion lasted a few more minutes before the flash finally faded as the area in front of the mages and two dragons were covered in a thick dust cloud. Everyone looked with anxious anticipation for the outcome of that last attack. The most anxious being Wendy, Grandeeney, Igneel, Natsu, and Lucy. When the dust settled, everyone releases the breath they were holding as they saw Naruo, back in his normal dragon form, standing over the beaten form of Ghidorah and they could tell that he was not getting back up.

"Are you finally done, Ghidorah?" Naruto demanded as he watched his downed opponent. Ghidorah tried to lift his glowing body but eventually relented and fell back down and nodded. "I would like to say I have some fight left in me, but that would be a lie." He said.

The kaiju then turned his attention to his opponent. "Tell me, Acnologia, why did you not use this form earlier?"

The black dragon sighed. "That form is a last resort that I only used when I am backed against the wall. My other spells were not suitable in this fight against you, so this was the best chance at winning this fight. Not to mention that form has setbacks if I use it for a prolonged period of time."

"I see, but it was a glorious battle. The likes of which I have not had in a long time." Ghidorah complemented.

Naruto nodded. "The feeling is mutual."

Ghidorah hacked a glob of blood as he looked up at Naruto. "May you honor my last request?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow before nodding. "Speak it."

"I wish for you to take my soul," Ghidorah revealed. Naruto's widen at the request. Of all the things Ghidorah could have asked; that was the last thing he ever expected. He narrowed his eyes. What was Ghidorah scheming? "Why?"

"You are strong, Acnologia. But I can feel it, you can become so much stronger. There are still depths to your power that you have not realized. Allow my absorption to help you onto that path of power. I find being a part of you will be far more fulfilling than anything death could offer me."

Naruto stared down at Ghidorah as he considered the offer. Absorbing Ghidorah's soul would give him a boost in power; perhaps even something else could be obtained from it as well. But could he trust Ghidorah? The kaiju should know he couldn't harm him even if he absorbed his soul. As a soul slayer of Saphira, he could repel such attacks to his soul from both internal and external sources. And he could sense that Ghidorah's offer was indeed genuine.

After a few more moments of silence, he nodded. "As you wish." However, before he could begin, Ghidorah stopped him.

"Before that Acnologia, let me give you one last warning. After absorbing my soul, do not let that stop you, Acnologia. You must become stronger than you are now. MUCH stronger. You struggled to defeat me, and the enemies you'll face in the future will not as simple. The other pantheons are sure to have sensed or seen our battle today. They will seek you out; for good and ill intentions. Let us not forget the ones from your pantheon and your old enemies that will come for you after tonight and those close to you. Especially the alpha of my species. I can guarantee you, he sensed this battle and its conclusion. He is sure to seek you out for a fight. You may have defeated me, the king, but the Keizer will not be as simple."

Naruto nodded. "I will keep that in mind. If any come for a fight, I will be ready for them." Naruto opened his maw as a large golden orb rose out of Ghidorah's chest.

"Farewell Dragon King Acnologia."

"Farewell, King Ghidorah."

These were the last words exchanged between the two kings as Ghidorah's eyes closed for the last time. The kaiju's soul rose to the air before stopping right in front of the black dragon. Naruto quickly swallows the soul as Ghidorah's body dissipated into golden particles. His eyes widen as he felt his body and energy rejuvenate instantly and his power surged into greater heights. He felt incredible! Power was literally flowing throughout his entire body. It had been centuries since he absorbed such a powerful soul like Ghidorah's.

Blue lightning danced around his entire draconian body. His tribal markings were shining a bright sky blue as a royal blue aura covered his body. Naruto gritted his teeth as he adjusted himself to the power oozing out of his body. Naruto gave a mighty roar of victory,

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEONGK!"

A massive beam of ethernano erupted out of his jaws and flew into the air. The massive blast illuminated the skies as it rippled across the ruined remains of the capital as everyone looked at the spectacle in astounded awe. As the light died down, Naruto sighed as he reverted into his human form.

He sighed in exhaustion. "Its finally over," he muttered.

"TOU-SAN!" Naruto turned to the shout and quickly caught a fast blur that slammed into his chest. He looked down to see Wendy tightly hugging him with her face buried into his chest.

"You're okay. You're okay." she continued to mutter in relief. Naruto gave a soft smile as he returned her tight embrace.

"I'm glad you and the others are okay, Wendy."

"Thank you, father. For everything," Naruto shook his head.

"No Wendy. I am the one who should be thanking you."


And there we have it, folks! We have ended the Invasion Arc! How was the battle between Naruto and Ghidorah? Did you enjoy it and did it meet your expectations?

I hope you like my reasoning for Naruto using the chains. He may not call them mom and dad, but he still has inherited many things from both Kushina and Minato. The chains are something he inherent thanks to his Uzumaki heritage. Something I eluded to when Naruto took Wendy to the carnival before the GMG. He is still is an Uzumaki and has the clan's benefits. The chains are one of those benefits. Bear in mind this will NOT be the last time Kushina, Minato, Hinata, and the Elemental Nations are brought up. Just letting you know ahead of time.

Did you enjoy the different personalities I gave to the three heads of Ghidorah? I wanted to give more depth to the character and I hope you all enjoyed it.

Let me know through your reviews! The next two chapters will wrap up the arc and we can move on to the next part of the story. Stay tuned for Chapter 24! The next updates will be for Neo Uzu and MON!
