Chapter 8
Naruto stood before the two Otsutsuki calmly observing them. They wore the typical Otsutsuki outfits with their own touches, both had a set of horns on them much like the rest of their kind, and of course one was standing ahead of the other much like a parent guarding their child as was the relationship of the guardian and master. Naruto nodded his head to the duo, "Been some time since I saw one of your species." he commented calmly.
"The bane of the Otsutsuki, still alive even after all this time." the man at the front commented, "Where is it?" he demanded.
"You both should know where the damn thing is. Your clan is filled with sensory type fighters so I know that you already know where it is. Why don't we just get down to the fighting and end this where either the both of you die or I do. Regardless, we all know it would begin." Naruto said to the duo.
"Hmph, you're right, words are cheap. Show me why you are the bane of the Otsutsuki Clan through your actions." the first one demanded.
"Before we do, what are your names?" Naruto asked.
"I am Kurosawa Otsutsuki, my charge is Satsuma Otsutsuki." the now named Kurosawa stated.
"Then let's begin."
"Agreed, let us begin." Kurosawa said as he and Satsuma both pulled out large crimson red fruits Naruto recognized. Chakra fruits made from a dying Otsutsuki who died to see the completion of their so called doctrine. He had fought the son of the Otsutsuki Clan head and even then the man had eaten five of his kind and in the end still died to Naruto. But these fruits were different. There were multiple chakra signatures inside of the two fruits, dozens in number. So, they had finally decided to take him somewhat serious. Very well then.
"Eat up, you still won't match me." Naruto motioned to the duo.
He wasn't lying. By releasing the might of Baryon Mode a solitary time in his fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki, Naruto had unlocked a unlimited power-source that remained active even after Kurama had perished. He held the same levels of energy of Baryon Mode now just as he did back then and anytime he activated a form of power his power only increased. It was why he never called upon his higher states of power unless he absolutely needed to, and even then the number of times he did were small in number. He no longer had to call on his Six Paths power, and at most he only needed Sage mode to fight the members of the Otsutsuki.
Sure he had access to both Rikudo Modo and Baryon Mode still, but he was strong enough to fight these freaks with just regular Sage Mode. Boruto learned the hard way that even with the loss of his Tailed Beast, he boasted far more power than a Otsutsuki infested child who couldn't stop his actions. By killing Boruto at his sons request, he had saved the world. Isshiki's subordinate Code learned the hard way even with his White Karma before he died to a base Sage Mode Naruto. Kawaki hadn't ever called upon the Otsutsuki DNA inside of him once the Karma was removed and ended up living a long life and sired several children he happily called his grandchildren.
When the ways of chakra had dwindled due to the peaceful era he had helped establish he was nearly 175 and still looked like he did when he was in his thirties. Sasuke was looking roughly 45 and they realized something. When he had initially activated Baryon Mode, he had obtained a form of divinity and thus was the only one who could continue to protect the world after their way of life died out. And with that, the remaining chakra wielders came together and formed the plan of destroying the 10 tails altogether and sealed it into the rock using a combination of Mokuton, Fuinjutsu, Rinnegan Jutsu, Chakra Chains, and then the shell wrapped in blood seals and sealing ropes.
After that, time passed and Sasuke died when he was 298 looking only 67 years old and yet he himself still retained his youthful look. And only a decade after Sasuke died, Naruto was the only person on the planet to retain any form of chakra manipulation abilities. The Tailed Beasts had been placed into a alternate dimension away from humanity to protect them where they could roam around freely and happily. Kurama was truly the only one that had not ever been reborn even after countless millennia so he wasn't able to go join his brethren, and Naruto remained unsealed for several decades to study, learn and master the remnants of his people.
And a thousand years after his first initial sealing, Naruto's war against the Otsutsuki began. Legends and myths born from his battles across the world labeled him as a god of benevolence or destruction each time he encountered the clan of destructive aliens.
And now, a new battle was about to begin.
The two Otsutsuki didn't hesitate to gorge on the two large fruit they held and he barely flinched when their transformation's set in. Kurosawa had the most drastic change by far as he literally turned into a giant-something he hadn't seen since before Choji's clan died out. The Otsutsuki even grew an additional pair of arms under the original set. Satsuma didn't evolve like his guardian, but the changes were there and he wasn't all that shocked or scared. Satsuma charged ahead of his protector, only for an explosion to go off from Naruto's position where a cloud of dust filled the air.
As it cleared Naruto stood behind where the Otsutsuki had tried to kill him, Satsuma was lying face first on the rocks out cold, a large bruise forming on his temple from where Naruto landed his first and only blow to the alien. Looking to Kurosawa Naruto motioned for the giant to attack and wasn't shocked when a gigantic fist was thrust down at him. With a cry naruto smacked the hand away as the giant struck out with the other three, only for Naruto to perform a roundhouse and deflect them. Landing on Kurosawa, Naruto jumped up and smashed a powerful uppercut into the demonic entities chin where a spray of blood erupted and Kurosawa stumbled back.
With a growl, Kurosawa tried to bash Naruto away using two arms, but a flash of silver filled the air momentarily before the two appendages were removed and fell to the ground with explosive force while a large gash opened on his chest.
Inside the ship, watching the multitude of camera's that were outside, Matsu gulped nervously, "Naruto is being incredibly rough, it's kind of scary." she commented.
"What monsters." Takehito said swallowing a lump of saliva, "It's almost unbelievable."
Kurosawa hummed as he fingered the wound and then licked the blood off his hand, "I see, so you already anticipated such actions from the both of us." he commented.
"It's not that hard to get your clans style down once you fight a few of them. Kaguya, Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Isshiki, Code, Toneri and all the others of your kind I've encountered through time; all of you throw your power around and waste a large portion of your energy by trying to overpower your opponents. Speed is all one really needs after timing. Even after all these years your people still haven't grasped the concept. I'll be honest, i grow bored repeating the same fights even after a hundred-thousand years." Naruto stated.
"What does that mean? What's he talking about?" Takami asked in confusion.
As if he had heard them Naruto continued his monologue, "The Otsutsuki all believe themselves to be these so called perfect beings, but if that truly was the case they wouldn't have to go out and hunt planets filled with life to consume just so they can continue the practice of the Otsutsuki Doctrine to become immortal and true gods. What all you fail to grasp the concept of is that there is only one god, and that god is death itself." he stated seriously.
Behind him Satsuma groaned as he lifted a red pill to his mouth and swallowed it, a aura of chakra enveloping him.
"I will admit that you have valid points and reasons to continuously oppose the clan, but you have made one fatal mistake." Kurosawa spoke before raising his remaining arms and clasping his hands together, "Embracing Gauntlet" he intoned before large pillars of stone rose up around where the Sekirei were with Takami, Takehito and Minaka.
Karasuba stumbled into a wall with a look of shock, "W-What's going on?!" she cried out.
She never got her answer as the earth came to life and closed around the ship. With a wave of his hand, the stone collapsed over the vessel and sunk into the earth and the Otsutsuki looked to Naruto, "Now they are all my prisoners. If you resist us any further I'll kill them all." Kurosawa told Naruto.
However, before he could move, his other two arms fell off as Naruto appeared before him, "Nice try, but I won't let it happen!" he yelled before he smashed a fist into his face where Kurosawa fell to the earth. Before Naruto could continue his onslaught, he was struck from the side where he himself crashed into the ground.
"Well well well, you certainly live up to your reputation, you nearly killed me with that blow." Satsuma commented as the smoke cleared, "Hurry up and heal yourself Kurosawa, we need to harvest the chakra fruit and be on our way. This is where the battle turns around and we finally secure our long awaited victory over this world." he commanded.
Naruto snorted as he slammed a foot into the ground and blasted the dust away, "Give up. You two don't stand a chance." he old the two aliens.
"I'm surprised you can move despite being struck so harshly." Satsuma said, "Let me ask you something, and I desire a honest answer. You don't wish to fight my clan for all eternity do you?" he questioned.
"Of course I don't. I long to rest peacefully in the embrace of death, but as long as the threat of my worlds destruction lingers I can't stop. The entire time I have lived I have done nothing but fight one battle after another, and along the way I learned something." Naruto said walking forward, "It's that life is not all black and white, it's what we make of it and we need to enjoy what time we do have and cherish the memory of what we lost." Naruto told Satsuma honestly.
"If that is your reason then why continue to fight our cause? Our clan has been doing this for thousands of generations and yet you still continue to oppose the will of our clan." he spoke harshly.
"Because, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to stop. The Otsutsuki are a blight to this universe and I intend to wipe them all out before I die for good." Naruto said.
"You can rest easy, just let me pierce your heart and the suffering will end in an instant." the Otsutsuki offered.
"It'll take more than that to put me down I assure you." Naruto said.
"Well, I guess I can try and enjoy myself here a little bit, it has been a while since I've stretched my powers." Satsuma hummed out.
"You won't get the chance!" Naruto roared out as he leapt at the duo.
"Well that's too bad for you, isn't it?!" Satsuma demanded as he thrust his hand out where a golden beam blasted out and struck Naruto. The blond flew away in a flash of gold and suddenly a powerful explosion filled the air as large waves smashed into the island. The raw power of the detonation that had struck Naruto was equivalent to the combined power of the two nuclear bombs dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, the energy sending out powerful shockwaves that rattled the heavens and tore apart the earth.
Inside the ship the observing party gasped as the ground experienced what they thought to be a earthquake, "What incredible power." Mutsu said.
"An extraordinary clash of energy." Miya observed.
"Taking on those monsters by himself, how reckless is that?" Matsu demanded.
"Come on guys, we need to help Naruto out." Kazehana spoke seriously, "Let's go!"
"What good would that do?" Karasuba growled in anger at herself, "How many seconds would we be able to last out there. Not only that, but we'd be in Naruto's way."
"We can't just-" Matsu started to speak only for Mutsu to interrupt her, "No, Karasuba's right." the yellow scarf wearing Sekirei agreed, "These opponents are on a completely different level." he stated seriously as he watched Satsuma hover over Kurosawa with his hand extended, "To be honest, the only one who can take them on and put up a fight against them at this point is Naruto." he said calmly.
"If that's true, then us being trapped here where the battlefield is would also be a hindrance, wouldn't it?" Kazehana noted.
"You're right, but we're stuck inside the ship under dozens of tons of rock and stone." Matsu pointed out, "Even if we wanted to escape, we can't break through." she told the others.
"I can take care of that if it comes down to it, but I think it is safe to say that we are better off where we are for the time being. If we go out there, we'll die." Mutsu spoke.
"Agreed, for now, we watch the battle unfold from here." Miya spoke softly.
"A battle between the gods of chaos and order, I can only wonder who will win, show us your power oh great guardian." Minaka bellowed out in laughter.
"SHUT UP MINAKA!" Takehito roared in anger, "You're starting to piss me off with all this zealotry and boasting of gods, I swear if you go off on another tirade about a age of gods I'll kill you myself." he said pulling out a 9mm pistol and pointed it at the mans face, "And I'm not playing this time. We are in a dangerous situation, and should Naruto die, we do too, and I'm not risking my life for your fantasies and games." he growled.
Minaka gulped nervously as he eyed the weapon aimed at his head while the others were just stunned by the move Takehito pulled. He raised his hands up nervously in a motion of surrender, "Ok, I get it, no more joking around." he said before motioning to the gun, "Could you please put the gun down, I don't like the idea of gaining a hole where my brain is." he said nervously, "Please, for old times sake." he pleaded.
"Don't push me Minaka, We've known each other for years, but even Buddha only forgives once. One more tirade about a age of gods, and you die, capeesh?" he demanded and Minaka nodded vigorously.
With Naruto currently busy trying to avoid death, Satsuma sighed as he lifted a red pill, "Here Kurosawa, eat this and make it quick." he commanded his protector as he dropped the pill into the giants mouth and a gold aura appeared around the titan sized alien. Before any major healing could begin, a large explosion sounded in the distance, chunks of earth and water filling the atmosphere before a large energy signature began racing towards them, the only thing seen was a golden blur that quickly shifted to the glowing form of Naruto using his Six Paths mode to fly as fast as he could back into battle.
Satsuma growled, "I just need a few seconds." he complained as he raised a hand where dark lightning sparked off the appendage, "Cursed Guardian Tree" he yelled out as a monstrous tree rose from the ground and took the form of a four armed human with bull horns. Raising its arms, the tree lashed out, but Naruto didn't slow down. Deactivating his Six Paths power he drew the katana and the air was filled with flashes of silver for a moment before the arms of the monster tree were sliced apart to firewood sized chunks and Naruto sped past them.
Drawing his empty hand back, a gout of ebony and magenta colored fire filled his palm, "I'm not waiting for you!" Naruto bellowed out. With that he thrust his hand forward and began to burn his way through the tree where he exploded out of a hole on the other side of the tree. Killing off the fire, he smashed his fist into the wide eyed Satsuma's stomach, caving in his guts and forcing the alien to cough up blood. Readying his sword Naruto narrowed his eyes, "It's over for you." he growled out, only for Satsuma to vanish as a giant hand snatched him away from behind causing Naruto to grunt in slight surprise.
Before he could turn, Kurosawa waved his hands up causing the earth to crumble at his feet and rip up boulders the size of a two story house where they glowed with incredible amounts of chakra. Seconds later the rocks blasted into the sky, striking Naruto and forcing him into the high atmosphere, "Crushing Wave" the giant Otsutsuki roared before swinging his arms down, "Falling Mountain" he yelled as the rocks fell on Naruto before smashing into the earth and sea. Powerful shockwaves shaking the earth with the force of a 5.6 magnitude earthquake.
Along the horizon, flashes of light could be seen as the rocks crashed into the ground, the sounds of powerful explosions filling the air from a distance to the point even Japan could hear them and then feel the earth quake from the impacts where the citizens panicked at the idea of a catastrophe happening. Inside the alien vessel, the group of observing humans and Sekirei gasped in shock before Miya stumbled into a wall, "D-Don't tell me this is.." she gawked.
"That was a powerful earthquake." Kazehana gawked gasped out.
"Shockwaves from the battle on Kamikura Island have reached the mainland, if this keeps up who knows what'll happen." Matsu gasped out.
"Naruto wasn't lying. It really is a clash of the gods." Takami said in shock.
"So this is what it's like to be a natural disaster bound in flesh." Miya observed a screen before gasping, "No way!" she exclaimed.
"What, what is it?" Takehito asked.
"H-He's actually beating them!" she said pointing to the monitor where they could clearly see Naruto falling behind the giant with a spray of blood flowing off his sword while another expelled itself from Kurosawa's shoulder.
Naruto landed on the ground with such force that it cratered, but in the end he didn't stay put for long as he gave a leap at his foes and cried out, "1000 Divine Slayer" Naruto yelled before a explosion of his ebony and magenta colored flames blasted into existence and filled the skies as it enveloped the two alien warriors and obscured them from everyone's sight. As the flames burned, Naruto landed back on the ground and shifted his stance and waited for the fire to die down.
He didn't have to wait long and the flames of Amaterasu died away and revealed the two aliens relatively unharmed. Kurosawa was enveloped in a thick coating of chakra while Satsuma was covered by a large hand. The smaller Otsutsuki grinned savagely, "Very nice, but we anticipated that." he said before ingesting several pills where the wound of his stomach being caved in healed in an instant. The aura of chakra protecting Kurosawa died down and the giant groaned as he fell to a knee and placed his hands on the ground while clutching the wound he recieved.
Holding up a dozen pills for his guardian, Kurosawa quickly devoured the pills. As this happened, Naruto leapt at the two and made his way towards Satsuma. However the Otsutsuki leapt away and looked for his opponent only to not see him until he reappeared behind him with his sword drawn. With a gasp he began to dodge the onslaught of slashes Naruto aimed at him, "Damn!" he exclaimed as his arm was cut and distracted him. This momentary distraction cost him as Naruto leapt up and planted his elbow into his jaw and slammed him into the ground causing it to crater.
However, Naruto himself also felt the earth shift under him and braced for the next attack as he heard the recovered Kurosawa yell out, "Earthen Hammerhead" where a gigantic pillar made of stone ripped up out of the earth to impale the blond. However, Naruto merely grabs the tip of the stone and waits for it to finish shifting before he leaps at Kurosawa and smashes a foot into the giant aliens jaw and sends him flying away where he crashes into the cliff next to the sea while Naruto lands in the spot that the alien once stood.
Inside the safety of the vessel Matsu gasped in shock, "Good god above, this is unbelievable!"
"I've never seen such a thing like this before." Kazehana said in amazement.
"Taking on two enemies and still holding the high ground, it's nothing short of incredible." Karasuba agreed.
"He's not just holding his own, he's actually beating them!" Miya said in awe as they saw Naruto's gaze turn towards them where they saw the serious look on his face.
"He seems to have a strategy of constantly rendering one unable to fight thereby keeping the whole encounter a one-on-one battle." Takehito said in observation, "Of course, it's only a feat that can be accomplished by someone with both the knowledge and experience of having faced overwhelming odds and knowing how to fight multiple opponents on their own. I thought such a thing could only be found in books or movies, I never thought I could witness something like it in real life." he muttered in amazement.
"To be honest, I think he's still holding back." Karasuba said drawing all their attention, "He hasn't gone into any other forms if what his abilities show, the fact he is taking them on in a normal transformation shows that they aren't worth his time. Remember when he came soaring back to the island and he was enveloped by what looked to be fire for a few moments, I think he can go way beyond what he's showing us even now." she stated as she gazed at her Ashikabi.
"Whether he is still holding back or not is irrelevant." Takami stated, "He is still holding them off, and he's in a normal form." she said.
Back outside Naruto gazed at his downed opponents. Satsuma groaned as he stood up and wiped the blood from his lip, "The stories of your strength really don't do you justice Bane of the Otsutsuki. You're as powerful as ever without any form of transformation while we consumed dozens of our clansmen to try and match your power." he spoke.
Kurosawa snorted as the chakra from his transformation died down along with his masters forcing their bodies to return to their original states, "If you so desired, you could rule this planet as a god, maybe even countless others, but yet you remain hidden away and secluded. It makes no sense. Just why would you go so far for a bunch of worthless creatures?" he questioned.
"Because, they're worth it." Naruto said.
"Then we have no choice. Lord Satsuma, you know what must be done, do not waver any further." Kurosawa pleaded as he looked to his master as the smaller Otsutsuki raised a hand and nodded, "I won't." Satsuma stated as he transformed Kurosawa into a chakra fruit and quickly consumed it, a sight Naruto was long since used to by now.
A explosion of chakra erupted from Satsuma as his form changed once more, and the earth shook and quivered. With a stomp of a foot, gigantic spires of earth rose up out of the ground, one of them shoving the alien ship that housed Naruto's friends and Sekirei from the ground where it crashed to its side as a pillar of earth rose in its place. Naruto however kept a eye on Satsuma as his transformation continued, when it was all said and done the Otsutsuki had four horns and a pair of eyes on his palms. Satsuma roared and he let out a great plume of fire from his mouth as fire jets from his feet held him in the air.
Naruto cracked his neck, knowing that the Otsutsuki was more than ready to fight now. He evaded Satsuma's initial attack by jumping between the rocks and gliding through his the use of air manipulation, dodging Satsuma's strikes as he blasted great streams of fire! In return to Satsuma's attacks, Naruto favored pulling rock from the great stone pillars and tossed them for Satsuma to dodge, or perhaps knock him out of the sky; but Satsuma dodged them all! Naruto threw one large boulder towards Satsuma, and with a wave of his arm it split off into three sections and tracked Satsuma's flight long enough for Naruto to land on one of the stone pillars and catch his breath for a moment while Satsuma had to track him down again.
Naruto remained hidden until he caught his breath and flew up to the top of his pillar and threw a gust of air towards Satsuma. He hit him hard enough to the point where Satsuma was thrown off his flight trajectory, making him tumble in a spiraling motion, and as he was trying to catch himself, Naruto jumped from pillar to pillar to get closer to him and take the offensive, if only for a moment. He got close enough to Satsuma and he jumped just as Satsuma took control of his flight again, and Naruto turned in a backward spin-kick to let out an arc of flame flying towards Satsuma, while Satsuma let out a jet of flame from his hands and the two projectiles met in an explosion!
Both Satsuma and Naruto growled as they were sent flying backwards, although not very far, and Satsuma proceeded to fly towards Naruto, letting out another jet of fire, aiming for his face! Naruto bent the jet to spray around him, and it trickled to the ground looking like lava, and with a stomp and a kick he threw another boulder, which Satsuma dodged. He flew in pursuit of Naruto, blasting jets of fire one after the other, until Naruto reached a pillar formed next to a waterfall. As Satsuma lashed out with another great jet of flame, Naruto bent the water to quench the flames.
The water put out the jet that Satsuma threw at him, and the jet propelling his flight had been extinguished for a second. Satsuma fell for a brief moment before catching himself and he bent a whip of fire and slashed it through Naruto's pillar. The pillar crumbled and split, so Naruto made a desperate jump as he leapt over to another pillar and went back on the defensive by evading Satsuma's continuous strikes and often threw rocks at him while he wasn't using pyrokinesis to deflect Satsuma's blasts.
However, Satsuma wasn't done by a long shot and called upon the power of advanced elemental creation and slammed his hand on the ground calling forth the head of a dog looking monster made from lava. Naruto barely even flinched as the strange molten beast struck him from beneath. He flipped himself in mid air landing on all fours, his hair whipping behind him, "This guy is quite amusing, such a shame he is barely worth the effort" The blond whipped a hand through the air where it collided with the molten beast, the appendage struck Satsuma dead on launching him out of the magma construct. A second fist struck hard and fast like a hammer knocking Satsuma into the ground.
Naruto didn't give the Satsuma any time to recover as he swung his arms through the air, to show just why he was classed as the Bane of the Otsutsuki. The wind began to pick up spinning around the blond as the sky began to darken as thunder clouds shadowed the land. Lightning jumped from cloud to cloud as another arm was swung. Thunder echoed loudly as a single droplet of rain hit the sand, followed by more as it began to rain heavily on the desert island. Naruto swung his arm a final time, the moment he did the sky opened up as a bolt of lightning larger than anything ever recorded struck the spot where the Satsuma landed with such ferocity the entire island shook.
The bolt pierced through the ground, piercing a hole right through the earth. The ground cracked and shattered. Ozone filled the air as the sand super heated transforming into glass as far as the eye could see. As the dust settled standing on a glass pillar in the middle of a giant hole was Satsuma, his entire body encompassed in glass from the sand that had bounced up cloaking him. Naruto snickered at the sight, perhaps he should take the statue back to the training ground as a target dummy. It would make for a unique garden piece. He was soon drawn back to reality as the sound of cracking could soon be heard.
Cracks began to spread out along the statue of the Satsuma as lava poured out from the breach. The glass shattered as Satsuma rocketed like a volcanic eruption up through the air where he landed at Naruto's feet as the storm Naruto had created had begun to settle, vanishing leaving no trace it had ever existed. Naruto turned to face Satsuma, allowing his anger to resurface. He felt an undying hatred for the alien before him. The blond eyed the hypocritical man, this trash believed in fighting for a cause yet let countless worlds die when he had the power to change the Otsutsuki Clan for the better, yet refused to do nothing but sit back, it was sickening.
At that moment Naruto exploded into action catching the alien by surprise, the sage appeared in front of the man's left palm making contact with the man's chest. A radiant light began to release from the sage's palm, followed shortly by a mountainous explosion, one which engulfed them both, kicking up sand clouds in its wake so high it touched the sky. Naruto erupted from the sand cloud skidding across the desert waiting calmly for it to die down. As the sand dissipated standing in the middle of a large crater the size of Gamabunta, was Satsuma a large hole in his chest, magma dripping from the abuse he had suffered. The man coughed up magma as his wound licked itself, this earned a scowl from Naruto.
"Guess I will have to try a little harder." mumbled Naruto as he watched the Satsuma regenerate completely.
Satsuma sneered at the man; he would pay for his insolence with death. Heat erupted from Satsuma's body as he transformed both his fists into pure molten rock. Magma dropped to the ground burning through the sand causing steam to rise once it came in contact with the water deep beneath the surface. Satsuma roared as he charged forth, thrusting both his fists forward, "Great Eruption!" roared the alien as his fists expanded in size growing to rival a small mountain. The two massive lava fists descended towards the intruder intending to melt him down to nothing.
Naruto eyed the massive lava fists with a bored expression. He gathered his chakra inside of his body, molding it, preparing his counter attack. Naruto brought his hands together forming a snake seal, "Earth Style: Great Mud Wall!" Naruto manipulated his earth chakra by expelling it from his lips. A stream of mud poured forth hitting the sand where it rose up hardening into an earthen wall so high even Gamabunta could fit behind it. Naruto stood behind the wall calmly as the two giant magma fists crashed into it. He reinforced the wall with his chakra. Cracks formed along the hardened wall, molten rock split off flowing around him, the heat melting away the surrounding sand which turned to glass. As the attack died down the wall crumbled away.
Satsuma growled as he stared at the man before him, "I will take great pleasure in ending your life." Satsuma launched himself forward, using his powers to launch him like a meteor falling from the heavens. He flew through the air at high speed rearing his right fist back. His fist shot through the air expanding as it rocketed forward to engulf the intruder in its fiery rage.
Naruto watched the fist of molten rock close in on him. He wore a blank expression as it approached. His body went up in smoke being replaced by a log. He appeared off to the side, his arms folded over his chest, his bored expression remaining firm. The last set of Otsutsuki who challenged him never made him activate his Rinnegan-well Sasuke's Rinnegan, he hoped this one could. Satsuma gritted his teeth as his foe was replaced by a piece of wood. The magma engulfed the corpse, desecrating it, melting it away to nothing. Molten rock began to drip from his arms as he transformed them. Satsuma gave a battle cry as he punched the air, firing off multiple fists of magma that sailed upwards. The fists curved heading downwards towards Naruto to unleash their wrath upon him.
Naruto inhaled, time to show this brat what a lava attack looked like. He split his chakra into part earth and fire, before he mixed them together, "Lava Style: Scorch Stream Rock." Naruto exhaled a large stream of lava that shot upwards. The lava stream split apart solidifying into numerous boulders of molten rock that sailed upwards. The boulders crashed into the incoming lava fists; the two attacks exploded on contact, allowing droplets of magma to rain down around them.
Naruto smirked at Satsuma's irritated look; he bet the guy wasn't expecting him to be able to counter his own magma attacks. Naruto decided to take things up a notch and push the alien further. He dived into his reserves mixing fire and wind together, let's see how he dealt with the Scorch Release, "Scorch Style: Extreme Steaming Murder." Fire burst out from his body molding into the air shaping itself into six large bright orange flaming orbs, orbs which resembled tiny suns. He manipulated the sun's making them spin around his form, a cocky smirk forming on his lips.
Naruto burst into action; he kicked off the ground causing the glass beneath him to crack and shatter. His six sun's moved with him as he leapt up into the air. He launched two of the sun's forth with a swipe of his hands. The suns launched through the air towards Satsuma who quickly launched his body upwards using a volcanic blast. The fireballs crashed into the sand turning it to glass before they floated upwards. Naruto swiped a hand through the air launching three fireballs. The suns launched through the air, chakra being fed into them causing them to grow. The suns then split apart creating fifteen that rained down forcing the Otsutsuki to dodge out of the way.
The suns struck the large pools of water that had littered the ground, evaporating the liquid and leaving nothing behind but molten rock. Satsuma exploded into action roaring through the air as he raised a right fist back. His fist turned into molten rock once more as he thrust it forward to launch a colossal fist towards the blond, one so large it's shadow encompassed the Uzumaki blocking out the sun. Naruto turned as the fist closed in on him. He manipulated three of the scorch spheres to merge together and move in front of the attack. The two attacks collided, heat erupting on impact as the two fire elemental attacks struggled against one another.
Naruto reinforced his attack causing the sphere to grow in size and consume Satsuma's molten fist. The scorching heat of the large ball of sun washed over the molten rock. The scorching flames ran along Satsuma's outstretched fist, within moments the alien cried out as he felt the heat of the flames, a heat stronger than his own. Satsuma retreated using a volcanic blast to launch himself as far away as possible from his opponent. His right arm returned to normal. He winced as he looked down at his arm, his eyes widening, there on around the back of his hand and running up from his wrist to below his elbow were a number of third-degree burns, "Impossible! How, how did he hurt me! I don't understand, Lava is one of the hottest Elements besides the flames of Amaterasu itself, so how did it burn me! There's no reason why I should have been burnt, but the heat, I felt it such an intense scorching heat. It was almost as if I had encountered the flames of the sun!"
Naruto smirked as the sun sphere split apart back into its miniature components. He took note of the burn marks, "Foolish Otsutsuki, Magma burns nowhere near as hot as the sun." Naruto jumped back as Satsuma roared in anger firing a molten boulder towards him. The boulder hit the sands turning the grains to glass. Naruto slid across the dunes, "Scorch Style: Burning Wave." Naruto manipulated the mini suns causing them to burst open like a dam. Bright orange flames blazing as hot as the sun erupted all around Naruto crashing down upon the ground like a tidal wave and pushing the Otsutsuki away. Naruto manipulated the sea of flames returning it to its sun forms, totaling eighteen spheres all which floated around him.
Satsuma sneered as he raised his arms, his flesh melted away into magma, he would wipe that smug look off this peasant's face, "DIE! Dog Biting Crimson Lotus!" Satsuma roared as he thrust his arms forward generating a large amount of magma. The magma surged forth, an intense heat radiating it from it. The magma shaped itself into the head of a giant dog. Satsuma aimed his attack towards the intruder, the dog crossed through the air, traveling towards the demon.
Naruto motioned the spheres to fly in front of him with a flick of a hand. The eighteen spheres flew forward spinning around each other, "Scorch Style: Extremely Steaming Murder Dragon!" The spheres merged together, the sun's changing their form. The Suns took on the shape of a large serpentine dragon made of bright orange flames. The flaming dragon roared loudly as five miniature suns formed around its neck in the form of a necklace. The dragon flew through the air, it's body climbing as it crashed head on with the magma dog, the two attacks connecting with such force a powerful shockwave erupted.
The ground and sand all around Naruto was sent flying back as a sand storm began to rage. The scorch dragon roared as it brought its jaw down, biting deep into the neck of the magma dog. The dragon coiled around the dog, flames traversed across molten rock, engulfing the molten creation. The scorching flames overcame the molten rock as the dragon consumed the dog. The dragon sailed on after consuming it's prize, heading towards Satsuma, jaws open wide as the five suns around its neck took flight, heading towards him.
Satsuma began to move as the first of the sun spheres raced towards him. His Byakugan seeing the attack in time allowed him to move out of the way as he stepped to the left. He quickly avoided the next by launching himself up into the air. As the next two launched towards him he fired off two fists of magma that collided with the spheres slowing them down. Satsuma descended as the two spheres flew overhead. He landed in a crouched position as the dragon came toppling down towards him. He released a volcanic blast from his legs launching himself backwards as the dragon hit the sand. Sand rose up blocking his line of sight.
Bursting from the sand came the fifth sun sphere. Satsuma's eyes widened as he quickly manipulated his body causing it to turn to molten magma. A thick layer of chakra followed, turning the magma black as he reacted as fast as he could. The sphere clipped the left side of his ribs, the sheer heat radiating from the sphere burnt through his chakra causing him to cry out in pain. Satsuma rolled across the sand, his body returning to normal. He was forced to clutch his left side, part of his outfit had melted away, his skin was bright red as third degree burns picked at his flesh. He suspected if he hadn't reinforced himself with his powers and Haki he might be a shriveled up corpse right now.
The sound of clapping drew his attention.
"I commend you for avoiding my attack" complimented the clapping Naruto as the flaming dragon dispersed and all eighteen spheres, each the size of a basketball, returned to his side, joined by five new spheres for a total of twenty-three, "But can you dodge all these?" Naruto pointed towards his growing number of Shakuton spheres. His foe wouldn't be able to dodge all of them forever; eventually, he would capture the Satsuma and turn him into a mummified corpse, "I hope he survives it wouldn't be any fun to bring the fight to a close so early."
He vanished in a burst of speed appearing in front of the blond. He raised his right foot, his foot glowing bright as he fired a light speed kick right into the face of his opponent, only for his foe to vanish in a flash of yellow. Naruto saw the kick coming; it was so slow, his skills easily tracking it. Naruto appeared a few feet away, his thirteen sun spheres surrounding him. Satsuma frowned as he turned to his foe; it seemed he wasn't the only one who was fast. Satsuma kicked off the ground, his body glowing as he moved at light speed, covering the large distance between him and his target. He appeared in front of Naruto attempting another high speed kick.
Naruto watched the kick incoming from the left. He simply raised his left hand and grasped Satsuma's ankle before the sage tilted his head to the right allowing a beam of chakra to sail past. Naruto gripped tightly on Satsuma's leg as the Satsuma attempted to pull away. Satsuma's eyes widened as his leg was caught. He attempted to remove it, but found he couldn't, as he attempted to free himself, "What is this!?" Naruto smirked as he cocked his right fist back enhancing it with nature chakra. His fist connected with Satsuma's jaw as he released the chakra on contact. He released Satsuma's leg as the man was sent sailing through the air rolling along the sand from the impact. Naruto wouldn't admit it out loud but it felt quite good to lay the alien one in the face.
Satsuma lay amongst the sand, jaw throbbing in pain. At the last second, he had used chakra to cover his face, something he was thankful for doing as his jaw hurt like hell. The alien groaned as he forced himself to his knees, he had no idea how his enemy had managed to hit him or even hurt him with such ease, but this just made the man even deadlier.
Naruto was too busy paying attention to Satsuma he had forgotten about the pools of lava littering the island, and if he had been anyone else it would have been a fatal mistake. With his focus on the Otsutsuki, a fist of lava crashed into the left side of his face. Naruto gave a pain filled cry as he was tossed through the air. The sage hit the sand rolling along it as the magma burnt away at his facial features. The sage planted his hands in the ground once he came to a stop. He slowly pushed off the ground and began to stand. The entire left side of his face had been melted clean off. If he was a normal human and not immortal, there would be all sorts of unpleasantness visible. Naruto's lone eye locked onto Satsuma delivering a menacing glare. Wisps of chakra like blue tongues of fire flickered to life, knitting over one another like string repairing the damage within a matter of seconds, to the point it was as if he had never been hurt.
"My mistake is forgetting about your lava, not something I will do again. I will congratulate you though as that hurts like hell!" he admitted.
"You won't have to worry about pain for long once I kill you!" Satsuma bellowed out as he charged only to stop as Naruto clapped his hands together, "Earth Style: Forest of Spire's" yelled the blonde as a incredible amount of earth chakra was released causing gigantic spires of rock to birth themselves from the ground, each as tall as a 70 story building, the entire island quickly expanding and rising up into the air as Naruto brought forth the power of the earth itself to crush his enemy.
Satsuma felt his eyes widen as the large earthen pillars rose at incredible rates and he used his Rinnegan to get him to safety once again. Growling once again, Naruto turned and lashed out twice at the base of the closest pillar of stone before he wrapped his arms around the nearest spire and physically ripped it up out of the ground, a spire of stone that easily weight as much as a small ship. With a yell, he hurled the spire away to where he sensed the Otsutsuki's chakra reappearing. Jumping across the mountains and using his Rinnegan eyes to his advantage, did Satsuma barely escape the falling spire that was plummeting towards him, courtesy of a blond human who was intent on crushing him.
The resulting crash did nothing to sooth the feeling of utter joy of not being crushed, the spire shattered to small pebbles while a chunk of the surrounding forest was torn apart from Naruto's attack. Seeing a shadow above him the alien cursed as he saw several more spires raining down on him and vanished into a portal to avoid what would most certainly be death if one landed on him.
Satsuma then landed on one of the remaining rock spires just as two large rocks were about to smash against him, using his great strength he was able to redirect the rocks with some effort away from him where they smashed into other rock spires. However the Otsutsuki then felt his body being grappled suddenly, pounding against him where he looked down to see Naruto holding him, intending to pummel him against one of the spires. However Satsuma also grabbed his opponent's body and threw him over his body where Naruto lost control of his movements and then smashed into a different rock spire making the ground shake a little as Satsuma then landed on an opposing spire staring into the spire Naruto had crashed into. He then saw Naruto scraping down the side of the spire unharmed only with a bit of dust on him.
Naruto then jumped out of the hole he had made when he crashed into the spire before he jumped down from his hole, spun around the spire and using his immense strength lifted the top part of the spire and threw it at Satsuma he channeled some of his chakra to defend himself from the house sized piece of rock that he was unable to defend against properly. The resulting strike was admittedly a bit more painful than Satsuma wanted to admit.
Upon recovering, Satsuma appeared in a flash of speed and smashed his fist into Naruto's face with a very visible shockwave that planted Naruto's face into the dirt. As Naruto rose, Otsutsuki went to swing at him, he dodged around the strike and blocked the next, But Otsutsuki was much better at hand to hand. He blocked a hit from Naruto and struck him in the abdomen, placed his hand against Naruto's neck in a knife-hand form and struck him straight on the chest with yet another shockwave being born into existence as he struck his rival. Naruto skid across the ground and quickly came to a stop where he looked up to see Otsutsuki standing above him ready to strike him under the hit, Naruto was lucky and slammed a fist into Otsutsuki's belly that sent the Otsutsuki flying back and into a wall of the spire behind him.
Naruto rushed over and smashed a fist into Otsutsuki and slammed him into the ground. Raising his fist he went to strike her again, only for a large slab of stone to crash down on him where he threw it off only to receive a foot to the chest that sent him sliding back. Naruto blocked a fist, but then Otsutsuki suddenly shot a uppercut that sent Naruto soaring into the air above where he came to a stop at the top of a incredibly large spire and crashed into its side and dislodged a large amount of the outer wall where he came to a stop and hovered in the air above it.
Otsutsuki looked up at him, his voice clearly heard as he spoke, "There's only one way this ends Naruto! Either you die, or I do!" he told him before he bent his knees and jumped up and began to climb the wall using both his hands and feet to quickly scale up the spire, tearing chunks out of the stone as he quickly scaled the towering pillar. Naruto narrowed his eyes and began to fly down to meet his rival, stone chipping and breaking off as he sped down towards the Otsutsuki. The two quickly met up and crashed into one another and a resounding explosion tore through the air as the side of the spire crumbled apart in a circular formation.
In the initial clash, Naruto managed to hit Otsutsuki hard enough to send him flying away where he quickly followed. The Otsutsuki crashed through a mountain nearby, and as Naruto followed he never saw where he landed. Crashing through the ground, he felt his eyes widen as he saw Otsutsuki swinging a large boulder at him to try and rip his head off. Filling his mouth with liquid fire, he breathed out a stream of lava that melted the stone beam away where upon Swinging it, it splattered all around him. As he spit the last of the lava off his lips, Otsutsuki still smashed the remaining stone into his face where he was sent crashing into a boulder behind him.
Otsutsuki gave a huff as he threw the large rock down and looked at Naruto as he rose, "Is this all you can do, I would have expected more from the so called Bane of the Otsutsuki." he sneered.
"We could stop this right now if you give up and leave," said Naruto, offering the alien a chance to back out now.
Satsuma sneered and launched a fist of magma towards Naruto, showing his answer. Satsuma merely sighed at his fellow aliens' actions. It was almost as if the man had a death wish.
Naruto lifted a hand causing a giant wall of sand to rise up blocking the incoming magma fist, "Just remember I gave you an out."
Naruto brought his hands together in the snake seal, time to take a page out of Hashirama's book and change the landscape. "Wood Style Hidden Jutsu: Deep Forest Emergence" Naruto roared out. The ground began to shake as Naruto released his wood nature chakra into the barren ground beneath.
The Sekirei and humans as well as the Otsutsuki looked on; they could feel the ground shaking beneath them, just what was this man up to now. They were answered as roots sprung up from the ground followed by giant tree trunks. All around them trees came to life, rising up from the ground stretching high into the heavens. The trees spiraled upwards, taking the shape of great oak trees. Massive roots rose from the ground hovering over the aliens before they came down attempting to crush them. Satsuma cut and burned his way through the trees as more and more began to grow, turning the barren and destroyed landscape into a lush forest that covered the entire island, showing the range of the man's abilities.
"To be able to create such extensive life in a barren wasteland as this, what is this man! He is surely not human! Nor any Otsutsuki possesses such a menagerie of powers let alone this, is he truly some kind of god!" Were the thoughts of Satsuma as he attempted to fly high above the treeline, however, the great oak's continued to grow to prevent him from doing so.
Naruto manipulated the branches of the trees to launch forward in an attempt to pierce or bind his prey. He created four shadow clones without the seal, allowing them to appear next to him. The clones then split off, each going in their own direction as they advanced. Naruto landed on a branch high above Satsuma. Naruto molded his fire chakra into his stomach and inhaled. It was time to once again steal a page from Uchiha Madara's book.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction" Naruto exhaled, releasing a bright burning blaze from his mouth. The stream of flames launched through the air towards the alien. The flames hit the ground and quickly grew to encompass the small clearing inside the forest; Satsuma jumped to avoid the incoming flames. Satsuma released a bellowing battle cry as molten rock erupted from his body. His arms shot into the air morphing into twin molten fists that expanded as they rocketed forward. The molten rock burst open like a dam to collide with the incoming flames. The molten rock consumed the flames as the magma burnt away at the surrounding forest, only to blink as he felt something pierce through his stomach. He looked down, blotches of blood dripping to the ground as a hand covered by bright blue lighting was pierced through his stomach. He turned his head and found his attacker standing behind him.
"Lightning Cutter: Blade" Whispered the clone as the lightning in his hand morphed into a cackling long sword. He slashed through the air cleaving Satsuma in half at the waist, watching as the top half fell to the ground. The clone looked up as a fist of molten rock collided with him, causing him to go up in a cloud of smoke.
Satsuma bit his lip as he used his arms to push his upper half off the ground. He focused on his lower torso causing it to dissolve into numerous particles of chakra that immediately shot over towards him. The particles struck the bottom of his upper half and quickly reformed the rest of his body regenerating him, "That could have been fatal if I was anyone else"
With that, he blond waved his hands in a circle calling forth large amounts of chakra as his hands glowed with the powerful energy. Raising his hands up he conjured up several orbs that are silver in color before he points straight at Satsuma and called out, "Vengeful Saint" then the orbs of energy surge forth towards Satsuma and begin to slam into his body and push him back with unrelenting that overwhelmed the Otsutsuki almost instantly.
"I'll end you, and when I do, I'm going to send a message to your leaders, and I'll make sure they receive it this time. I'm tired of you so-called gods coming to my planet and thinking you can destroy it. The next time I see one of you, I'll destroy each and every one of you until there are none of your filthy kind left to terrorize the universe." Naruto commented angrily.
"You talk a big game, but is this really the best you can do?" Satsuma asked before he growled out and charged through the barrage being sent at him much to the shock of the the blond, "Killing Saucers" the alien intoned as he then creates blades of chakra in his hand that rotate at high speed which he uses to slice his enemy which causes Naruto to be engulfed in darkness. The Otsutsuki then watches as Naruto squirms as the dark energy begins to engulf his body. He grins as the human continues to try to fight his power and looks at him with a sneer, "I have killed countless worlds and civilizations eons long before you were born, what makes you think that you stand a chance against me?" he asked him.
He would show this human his place. He then watched as the darkness finally engulfed the man. Satsuma laughed at his foe, "The power of the Six Paths or your Ocular Ninjutsu haven't even appeared, I'm kinda disappointed." he said as he watched Naruto begun to fall to the ground, only to cover his eyes when all of a sudden a bright light engulfed the Sage and blasted his darkness away from his body.
"Very well then, I shall show them to you." Naruto's voice said as the light began to die down enough for Satsuma to see. Physically unchanged, the only difference Satsuma could notice on his body was that he had a series of Magatama around his neck, "If you want to see them, I shall use my full power." he told him.
Satsuma looked at the man calmly and smirked, "I may not be as good as the old man when it comes to Sensing like others of my clan, but even now I can tell that even though you a calm look on your face, you're furious with me." he said to Naruto. Satsuma suddenly vanished from sight and his arm pierced the blond through the chest causing him to gasp as he spoke softly in Naruto's ear, "I'm stronger than you could ever hope to be, in this life or the next." he told him.
However, Naruto grinned at the alien as his body literally turned itself to water and fell off his arm confusing him. Satsuma grunted in annoyance, though this only caused Naruto to let out a laugh drawing Satsuma's attention towards him, "Take this." he said as he tried to smash his elbow into him, only for his arm to nearly be shredded by a incredibly powerful gust of wind that wrapped around Naruto.
"Now, there's no need to rush, we'll get to the fight soon enough." Naruto said calmly, "Besides, I don't think I said I would ever allow you to touch me." he said to the alien.
Satsuma snorted, "If this is your power, I'm not that impressed." he told Naruto before the human told him not to rush as he pointed at him and a powerful burst of wind sprang forth, "Spiral Whirlwind" he declared as the wind spiraled about and pushed Satsuma away. Satsuma had no time to think as he twisted, spiraled and rotated at ridiculous speeds before Naruto waved a hand at him, "Now take this, Infinite Sea" the blonde called out as his eye transformed into a purple rippled eye with six magatama in the ripples and gave a pulse of power causing Satsuma to vanish from the mortal plane of existence.
Satsuma was released from the torture of the spiraling winds and then begun to fall, only to crash into a pool of water. Gaining control over his movements, he soon began to swim to the surface and broke into the air with a gasp. Gagging in water he spat it out and tried to ask, "Wh-where am I?" as he swallowed more water. His answer came in the form of a large wave that crested and fell on top of him with a resounding crash and Satsuma once again had to fight his way to the surface for fresh air, "Wh-what's going on?" he asked as he spat out some water.
"You are trapped in the God Realm, a dimension created by all the powers of the Elemental Nations which has been cut off from all worlds." Naruto's voice told him from somewhere he couldn't see. As he looked around, all the blonde could see was a nigh endless sea of water as far as his eyes could see.
Satsuma growled, "If that's the case then I shall destroy it!" Satsuma declared as he burst up out of the water and high into the air. However, a large wave burst up shocking him as it eclipsed even his height and he gasped as it fell on top of him.
"Don't even think about trying it." Naruto told him as he called upon incredible amounts of power.
"What?!" Satsuma exclaimed as he was struck by the wave and dragged beneath the water once again.
"Even if you try that and throw a tantrum, you shall not escape." Naruto told Satsuma as he broke through the surface once again, "You're the same as spitting into the ocean, or sighing in the direction of a tornado." he explained to the monster he was trying to kill. The ocean then began to go rampant as large tidal waves began to push Satsuma down into a deep maelstrom that seemed to spiral downward almost endlessly. "It is my duty to protect this world from any threat, be they my friend, child, or even the likes of your pathetic excuse of aliens who call themselves god." Naruto growled out to his prisoner, "You shall be torn apart by the wind and water, and then destroyed because of the Lightning birthed from the clash of both elements!" Naruto cried out.
Inside the ocean, Satsuma tried to hang onto his sanity and draw breath as he was dragged down under the water. This human, no wonder he was considered to be the most dangerous threat to the clan. His power was utterly terrifying, and his abilities could work in tandem with almost 100% efficiency.
Up above the water, thunderclouds were birthed into existence as lightning flashed across the heavens and thick tendrils of wind begun to slowly wind down from the sky above before a thick funnel of wind begun to fall towards the sea down below it where the collision alone shook the entire sea that had trapped Satsuma. The sea begun to twist and spiral upwards, and Satsuma found himself helpless to fight as he was pulled up to the sky above and could only cry out as the Bane of the Otsutsuki yelled out, "Divine Punishment Enlil" where electricity sparked momentarily before exploding into massive columns of lightning that fell down upon the water below it.
Satsuma cried out in sheer agony as the wind and water ripped his flesh apart while the lightning shocked each and every nerve inside his body. Naruto spoke calmly, "The Divine Punishment Enlil is able to destroy anything at the molecular level. It's so that anyone or anything with a rapid healing factor cannot even hope to regenerate as there shall be nothing left of them in the aftermath." he told his victim, "Die, and know that your pathetic attempts to destroy my world has failed Satsuma Otsutsuki" Naruto said to the alien.
Satsuma tried calling upon his Rinnegan abilities to teleport him away to safety, but what he didn't know was that the dimension he was in absorbed all forms of chakra; even Naruto wasn't immune to it and if he didn't have a Hiraishin marker he would most definitely perish as even his own immortality couldn't save him from having his very life essence ripped from him.
Satsuma Otsutsuki had been left for dead,and he wouldn't be able to complete his clans wish of killing off this planet, all because he had gotten cocky.
