KG: KyuubiGoku's log, stardate: 2/8/13 we have just arrived towards South Carolina. I'm in my passenger seat on my computer and Rikku is-
Rikku: You'll never take me alive cops!
KG: Yeah. It's like that and so I will try to ignore this in favor of just trying to get to the next point. Also yeah I looked and some of your reviews and...I need to make a call. (Dials number).
May: Hello?
KG: (Ahem) May...WHAT THE HELL! I DIDN'T SAY TO WRITE THAT PART! That wasn't supposed to be until the complete end of the story! It was supposed to be for another fic to follow this one! This wasn't a part of the bet!
May: Well I didn't know! The bet was that I got to type a portion of the story if I beat you at COD. I did and I thought it would be funny. What happened?
KG: People are now questioning my creativity dammit! That was supposed to be a teaser to a sequel!
May: Well you shouldn't suck at COD.
KG: Hey May.
May: Yes?
KG: FUCK YOU!
Rikku: I'd like you to.
KG: Not now Rikku. Oh god, yes my sister and I had a bet. She wanted recognition in a small part of the story since she's too lazy to do her own fanfics which would be Yaoi anyway so...yeah. We did our bet and that was the result. She got to write what she wanted for an ending to chapter 27 and that's what happened. At least a few of you liked the idea, but a good majority didn't. Yeah I apologize. This just proves that bets aren't to be made. Especially not against this...girl on this phone.
May: FUCK YOU!
Rikku: If anyone's going to do that, it's going to be me!
KG: NOT NOW!
Lightning Farron: KyuubiGoku and Rikku, pull over in the name of the law!
Rikku: NEVER!
KG: (Sigh) Let's just do this thing. Now then. Hehe Lightning Farron in a police outfit. Oh that was too good to pass up.
Quote: "Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself," W. C. Doane.
Kushina looked left and right near the house for her son. She had lost him after Asuma's funeral and she was currently looking for him. Her face showed the longing look to know of her son's problems. However, due to their connection by her being his valve of spiritual power from the Shinigami, Kushina could feel Naruto's heart. It was tight, it was sad and it was angry. She knew that he must've been trying his hardest to not be completely angry and let out both Kyuubi and his Shinigami powers at the same time.
"Come on Sochi, where are you?" Kushina asked from on a tree branch. Very soon an answer to her mental question came to her as she heard a loud crash. She saw a tree fall to the ground just a few feet away from her. Kushina quickly rushed off towards the sound of the crash and with her speed it didn't take for her to see her son. Kushina's eyes sadden as she saw Naruto flail his sword around aimlessly, not really caring what he hit before he stabbed it into the ground. Kushina proceeded to jump down and carefully walk towards her son.
"Sochi, what's wrong?" Kushina asked and Naruto seemed startled by her voice and her presence as he really wasn't thinking that someone could be following. Naruto just sneered at the ground before he felt the smooth hand of his mother on his shoulder. Leave it to his mother to be able to calm him down.
"He didn't want me to revive him Kaa-chan. He said it was better that he was gone. He knew that I had the power to revive him so that everyone could be happy, even at the risk of my contract. I just...wonder why," Naruto said and Kushina proceeded to calmly slip her arms around Naruto's broad shoulder and turn him around. Kushina then placed a hand on his chest and smiled.
"I feel your heart," she stated and Naruto raised an eyebrow before Kushina grabbed his hand and brought it to her chest, much to Naruto's embarrassment, but Kushina ignored it. She waited for Naruto to talk and the blonde straightened his face.
"I feel your heart," he responded and Kushina nodded with a close of her eyes.
"I am alive because of you. I hold no regrets over it. I love you sochi. I assume that you love me as well right?" Kushina asked and Naruto nodded fast telling her that she couldn't be anymore right in that regard. Kushina smiled and leaned back.
"Asuma-san knows what the village had gone through. He knows what they're going through. Have you ever wondered why the spirits around you have never asked to be revived for their loved ones?" Kushina asked and Naruto stopped to ponder that. He looked around him at all the spirits who seemed to have their heads turned embarrassingly. Taking the silence as a no, Kushina continued.
"It's because their people have moved on. There isn't a need for them anymore. Most of them had long fulfilling lives and would want nothing more than to just watch their friends, family and other be happy. Not to mourn their deaths, but to live their lives. Shikamaru-san and Kurenai-san will not forget him and neither will anyone else. You know why, it's because this village possesses the Will of Fire," Kushina spoke and Naruto calmed down. He smiled and turned to see the spirits of most shinobi and civilians nodding their heads behind Kushina showing that she was right in what she said.
"Did Tou-san tell you that speech?" Naruto asked while Kushina blushed. She was about to yell at her son before Naruto shocked her with a kiss to the lips. It wasn't as lasting as she would have liked, but it got its point across.
"Thank you," Naruto said as he took up his sword and sheathed it. He then held out his hand for Kushina to grab and she did so while Naruto pulled her to her feet.
"Now then, shall we go and get some dinner? I'm hungry dattebane," Kushina said and she smiled when Naruto's stomach rumbled. She snickered while Naruto scratched his cheek.
"Well then shall we go inside and get cooking? Hopefully you can still get me to cook us a little bit of dinner," Naruto said and Kushina turned back to him skeptically.
"Since when can you cook?" She asked and Naruto just passed her before he winked letting it hang around for Kushina's thought. She just twitched an eyebrow and she followed him reluctantly before Naruto turned his head.
"Also Kaa-chan, I would like it if we could train a bit tomorrow. I want to figure out the weaknesses to this time-space ninjutsu. If we're lucky then I can increase the time of the jutsu, but it needs experimentation. Besides, we'll have to teach it to you won't we?" Naruto asked and Kushina just shrugged her shoulders before she reached into her pouch. She tossed to Naruto the crystal that was full of half the Sanbi's chakra. The entire Yang chakra of that bijuu was inside the crystal and it wouldn't break until Guren did or it broke from the age of time. They would just have to do something with it. Why you ask, because Kushina and Naruto could already see the small cracks beginning to form on it. Three or four weeks at the most and it would break.
"Well then, we'd better hurry. I'm always on the lookout for a good time with a new jutsu," she said and the two Uzumaki walked off towards their house.
Uzushiogakure
Guren and Yukimaru were quiet while Yura looked at Haku on the bed. They had just arrived two days ago to the island and Haku still hadn't woken up. She was out cold with a hard knock to the head and neck. Mei washed a towel and placed it over Haku's head while Rin checked Haku's heart rate. It was steady, a sign of no trouble to her life. Zabuza was on the couch tapping his finger on his arm almost impatiently. Fuka just leaned against the wall not doing anything in particular just watching everyone else.
"She's been out for four days already," Rin suddenly said while everyone sighed. They all leaned back away from Haku before Yura, Guren, Fuka and Mei decided to introduce themselves to each other. Mostly Yura, Guren and Fuka introducing themselves to Mei their big cousin.
"I never would've thought that I would be a cousin to the Mizukage. It just keep rolling doesn't it?" Guren asked as she shook Mei's hand firmly. The two women exchanged glances before she and Yura shook hands acknowledging each other. Fuka and Mei took a good long look at each other as everyone felt that they could see a flash of lightning come between them before Mei held out her hand.
"I'm glad that Kushina's family hasn't died out," Mei said and Fuka just smiled and shook her hand.
"It just took our blonde Uzumaki to bring us together. I'm pleasantly glad," Fuka said with a charming smile while Mei did the same. However everyone could see the veins straining in their handshake with each other that caused them to sweatdrop. It was only when everyone heard a moan that they turned to see Haku squirm. Zabuza jumped up while Haku opened her eyes. She glanced over everyone before what happened caught up to her and she quickly leaned up.
"Haku, what's wrong? Who did this to you?" Zabuza asked while Haku placed a hand over her aching head. She then seemed scared and cursed as her hands tightened against the folds of the futon.
"Someone with an orange mask came to the village. He knocked out Yuri and took her," Haku paused as everyone turned to Yura who was shivering almost uncontrollably before a small pat from Guren calmed her down and everyone asked for Haku to continue.
"I tried to apprehend him, but there were three things that stood out for me. One who what he was wearing. A black cloak with red clouds. The next thing that stood out for me was...he had a sharingan," Haku paused again as a collective look of surprise came over everyone. As far as Zabuza, Yura and Haku knew there were only five sharingan users. Those were Sasuke Uchiha, Yuna Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake. Rin widened her eyes to what Kakashi had told her at one point before his leaving. He had told her that Obito was alive. He had given Kakashi one of his eyes which Rin had transplanted. He wouldn't do something like that would he? No, not Obito.
"Lastly was that he used a weird technique. I...couldn't hit him," Haku said and that brought everyone's attention to her again while Mei folded her arms narrowing her visible eye.
"What do you mean that you couldn't hit him? Was he too fast for you to hit? Is that what you mean?" Mei asked and Haku shook her head still trembling from the memory. She touched her person and slowly steadied the beating of her heart.
"Now, he was fast. Faster than me, but I could keep up with him for a while. When I mean I couldn't hit him I mean, I pass through him. It was like he was intangible. I would throw kunai, senbon or shuriken at him and they would pass him and fall to the ground behind him. I couldn't hit him. It was like he knew it as well. He was toying with me which is why he was able to knock me out. It was a terrifying experience," Haku said while everyone looked left and right.
"And he...took Yuri. What kind of person is that? He's not some ghost! He took you down! Just like that?" Yura asked visibly angry. Her sister was somewhere out there in the world with Kami knows who and doing who knows what. Dammit, this happened because she was gone.
"He's not a ghost Yura-san and spirits aren't so farfetched if you know what Naruto-sama holds," Haku said discreetly while Yura widened her eyes. She nodded and leaned back while Zabuza intertwined his hands.
"So that's all we have to go on? Well I can tell you right now that if Haku's description is right then it's Akatsuki who took her. I know of Akatsuki because I know one of their members. Kisame Hoshigaki, he was one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist under the Yondaime Mizukage, Yagura. I only knew of Akatsuki because Kisame was in my bingo book at one point and it showed his affiliation. I didn't know what they wanted though," Zabuza said before Mei and Guren came in.
"I know," They said and both glanced at each other, but Mei allowed Guren to continue with hers and Guren thanked her cousin before clearing her throat. Yukimaru looked on through the group of people while Guren spoke.
"I know of Akatsuki because I used to be in allegiance to Orochimaru. Akatsuki is an organization that is after the Tailed Beasts. I had recently heard before leaving that they have taken the Ichibi, Nibi, Yonbi, Gobi and Nanabi. That's five that they have at the moment and five people that they have killed. Well the Ichibi survived by unknown means and I think I know. Was Yuri an Uzumaki also?" Guren asked and Yura nodded before the pieces started to come together.
"You think that they took Yuri to try and get to Naruto?" Fuka asked and Guren nodded her head.
"Nearly all of us here are Uzumaki, or have Uzumaki blood with the exception of Yukimaru, Haku-san, Rin, and Zabuza. If I wanted to get back at someone then that's how I would," Guren said and Yura's response was to get up and walk towards the door. She quickly strapped on her shoes before Zabuza's voice, coming in low and authoritative, shook her.
"And where do you think you're going?" he asked and Yura balled her fists.
"Where else? I'm going to go and find Yuri. She's my only sister and I'm not going to lose her!" Yura exclaimed before she felt Zabuza's presence in front of her. She looked up at the swordsmen folding his arms and blocking her way out.
"I'm stronger than you. Akatsuki is stronger than me. You aren't able to handle such a thing. All you are doing is going to your death. If they want Naruto-sama then there is a perfect chance that your sister is still alive. They wouldn't waste a valuable chance like that. How would Naruto-sama and Yuri feel if you did go recklessly?" Zabuza asked while Yura growled. She just remained silent before Zabuza patted Yura's shoulder.
"Haku and Fuka have trained Yuri as well as myself and Kushina. By our standards Yuri is a high-chunin shinobi. She knows what to do if an enemy captures her. Don't be selfish," Zabuza said and Yura just paused at the door while everyone else fell silent.
"Still, there aren't that many Uchiha left in the world. Itachi-san, Sasuke-san, Mikoto, Yuna are the only ones," Haku said before Rin shook her head.
"No, there is one more since I realized it. My teammate, Obito Uchiha is also alive. If he really is then he should be Kakashi's age if not a few months older," Rin said and everyone could here the skepticism in her voice as she didn't want to believe it, but for Yuri she would have to put those feelings aside for another time.
"So we can rule out Sasuke, Mikoto and Yuna. That just leaves Itachi Uchiha, but I met the guy. He's not the type to wear a mask. Much less an orange one. If he didn't want to be noticed then there is the use of it, but he only used one eye?" Zabuza asked and Haku nodded her head.
"It's not that he could only use one. I think that was the only one he could use. His left eye was blocked out. I don't know if he couldn't use it or if he just didn't have it," Haku said and Rin trembled. That all, but confirmed it with her. It had to be Obito and if she was wrong then there was another Uchiha in the same predicament as Obito. She really hoped that it was the latter.
"So what should we do? I'm not going to stay here and do nothing!" Yura all but shouted and everyone else agreed. Especially Zabuza.
"Nor are we Gaki. I don't know about Mei, but the rest of us are going to go searching. One of us should be the one to go to Naruto-sama and warn him. I propose Fuka, only because she's the one had had been in Konoha before and they won't have a problem with her going back. The rest of us will get ready. Haku, how are you feeling?" Zabuza asked and Haku nodded that she was fine as she decided to catch up on her sleep.
"Can the kid watch Haku?" Zabuza asked and Guren nodded as did Yukimaru. The two then went off to their rooms while Yura went to her own room. Fuka decided to sleep for tomorrow so that she could get to Naruto.
"I will keep a word out in Kiri for these people. I know how much of a mess that the sharingan can cause," Mei said and Zabuza nodded his head as he watched her leave. Zabuza decided to sleep on the couch next to Haku for the rest of the night as well.
With Deidara and Tobi
The two decided to stop their walk for the night as Tobi carefully put Yuri on the ground. It was around this time that both Akatsuki knew that she was well awake and aware of her situation, but she remained quiet merely because she didn't have anything to say to them and that she knew she would be rescued. Yuri was surprised that they hadn't tried to extract information from her surrogate brother, not that she would've told them anything anyway, but it amazed her.
"Oi, how long are you going to fake sleep hmmm?" Deidara asked the "unconscious" Yuri. She just opened her eyes and looked forward not bothering to look her captors in the eye. Nor would she speak anything to them. She would protect her brother and the rest of the family. She also wouldn't drag Yura down.
Noting her silence Deidara scoffed and with a huff he walked off while Tobi snickered and his senpai's actions. It was that laugh that made Yuri just how this asshole had not only infiltrated Uzushiogakure without them knowing, but also having that sick, demented look in his eyes that she had seen the first time.
Tobi soon stopped laughing before he dropped a rice ball from his clothes. It fell to the ground with a 'plop' alerting Yuri to the sound. It wouldn't do good if their captive was going to die of hunger. Yuri really was hungry, but her lessons on the human body had shown her that if she clicked off a portion of her brain then the stomach wouldn't request to be fed for at least a month. The downside to that was that when it ended then all hunger would be activated on her and she would pass out and die within the next three days without any food. She hadn't used that part just yet because Yuri, only known to Yura, wasn't really one to eat much if she didn't want to.
"You should eat. If you're a good girl then Tobi will be a good boy and won't let Senpai hurt you. Because Tobi knows that you are a good girl. We just want the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and then you will be released," Tobi said and he was sure that he heard Yuri snort. He could keep talking, but she didn't give a damn. Yuri, under training, had grown out of her childish ways and really came into her own. Granted she still read, much to Yura's chagrin, those Yaoi books that would come out every now and then, but not as much.
Yuri heard the sounds of shuffling feet and she knew that Tobi was leaving her alone. He left behind a tree and vanished. It was then that Yuri leaned up from her laying down position and moved her hands back. They were tied so she had to shimmy towards the rice ball. She managed to take it and peeled off the plastic wrapper. Yuri held it in her hands for a second before giving it on good toss with her wrist. The rice ball went up and Yuri catch it in her mouth while a piece fell to her lap. It wasn't poisoned as Yuri figured, but she ate carefully and cautiously. Once she was finished, she swallowed it and leaned back down on the ground. Just in time too as Deidara and Tobi came back from whatever they were doing. Tobi noticed the missing rice ball and just smiled behind his mask glad that Yuri had listened to him, but not in the way he thought.
"Well Senpai, let's call it a day. We've got a lot ahead of us," Tobi said and Deidara nodded as he leaned against the tree and fell asleep. Tobi did the same before playfully giving Yuri the 'good night' reply. Yuri didn't respond as she just closed her eyes and conserved her strength as well.
With Sasuke and Yuna
The two Uchiha were currently near a sandy beach and Yuna looked on to see a medium sized structure out there. She narrowed her eyes slightly before turning back to Sasuke.
"Alright we've brought this fool with us and now you want to get two more. Geez Sasuke, you sure know some weird people," Yuna said while Sasuke just folded his arms. He then walked up to Yuna and proceeded to rest his hands on her shoulders. Yuna flinched from the sudden contact before she turned around. Sasuke gave her a quick kiss much to her surprise before Yuna closed her eyes and accepted. Yuna was still rather hesitant with some of it since Sasuke was her family, but well he just had that way with her she figured. Sasuke then parted upon hearing Suigetsu talk.
"Ugh I don't need to see that. Take your little incest shit somewhere else," he said to them both before Sasuke and Yuna glared at him. Suigetsu flinched from them both. Around his waist was just an expensive full-tang katana that he had bought until he could get Zabuza's sword which was something that Sasuke was trying to avoid until the last possible moment.
"Don't be jealous," Yuna said before Suigetsu growled.
"Who would be jealous of you two?!" He shouted, but Sasuke just walked forward while Yuna followed him. Suigetsu growled and with a silent huff, he just followed the two Uchiha towards their destination as he wondered just why he was following the both of them.
Sasuke came up to the former Orochimaru base and opened the door. There was a long flight of stairs going downward and he descended while Yuna followed him. The walls were grey all around them and a few ceiling lights were lit to show the way.
"So who are we looking for?" Yuna asked while Suigetsu shivered.
"Come on Sasuke. We could do so much better than this bitch!" Suigetsu whined, but Sasuke didn't pay him any mind in favor of answering Yuna's question. She was really the only one that he would give the time of day to talk with, aside from his team, because she didn't fawn over him like a good portion of the female population in Konoha when he was younger, but then again she was sort of older than him. Really if he wanted to be technical then she was 30 or 31 to his 16. However Sasuke, contrary to popular belief, wasn't that technical when it came to things or at least he didn't think so.
"We're looking for one of Naruto's relatives. Another Uzumaki. Her name is Karin and we'll really need her if we're going to be searching for Itachi," Sasuke said and Yuna just shrugged her shoulders.
It was then that everyone heard a few footsteps walking and Sasuke turned his head only to see a redhead in a purple shit and black shinobi pants with large open-toed shinobi boots and she wore glasses on her face. Her vibrant red hair was what Sasuke had caught along with Yuna while Suigetsu just scowled.
"Who opened the fuckin' door to the base?!" Karin shouted before looking at Sasuke. She widened her eyes to his face before Karin took off her glasses. To Yuna's surprise and annoyance, Karin's personality switched and she blushed. She quickly walked up to Sasuke and smiled.
"Oh Sasuke I didn't know you'd be here," Karin said while Sasuke gave her an even glare. It was only then did he recognize the growing KI behind him and the Uchiha noticed Yuna twitching violently while her arms were crossed with her finger tapping her arms repeatedly and Sasuke could see the spiritual death in her eyes telling him to explain himself to her.
"You still fall for the stupidest shit Karin. There are other people here," Suigetsu said and to Yuna's surprise, which still dispel her anger, Karin quickly put her glasses on and glared at Suigetsu and then looked at Yuna with the latter giving her best even glare despite everything telling her to rip this girl's head off even if she was one of her master's family members.
"Ugh Suigetsu, you're out of that test tube. And Sasuke, who is this girl?" Karin asked narrowing her eyes. Yuna narrowed her eyes back while Sasuke sighed.
"Enough of that. What has been going on around here?" Sasuke asked and Karin sighed with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Well it's a riot. Some of the prisoners learned of Orochimaru's death and they aren't staying quiet," Karin spoke talking the others through the halls showing the various busted walls of prisoners.
"Well it's true. I kill Orochimaru," Sasuke said and Karin widened her eyes. She turned back to Sasuke in shock of his words. She turned to Suigetsu who nodded and Karin shook her head.
"Why would you do such a thing?" she asked and Sasuke closed his eyes.
"He was an annoyance. Besides, I need you Karin. I need you to help me find Itachi," Sasuke said and Karin blushed while turning her head away. Yuna gritted her teeth and strained herself to keep herself calm. She would hold her tongue, but anymore and the unnaturally quiet Yuna would rage.
"I see. Well alright then I suppose," Karin said and Sasuke nodded. He was however looking for one more person. Someone who should be here. It was then that Sasuke's question was answered as a crash came through the door. It slammed Sasuke into the wall and Yuna widened her eyes while Suigetsu and Karin gasped.
"AHHHHH I can finally rage on you! I will kill you all!" a person shouted. Everyone watched as Juugo came out with a sick smile across his face, the half of his body already filled with the curse mark.
"And who is this?" Yuna asked and Karin adjusted her glasses. This was the worst thing that could actually happen to them at the moment.
"This is Juugo. He was locked up because he's unstable, but it seems that they were unable to keep him anymore," Karin said and Juugo's laugh continued to ring across the halls before he knew is punch had been caught. Juugo widened his eyes while a wing came out of the wall. Yuna narrowed her eyes while Sasuke came out with half his curse mark flowing as well.
"That's enough," Sasuke simply said before Juugo cackled. He brought his fist back and was ready to prepare another one.
"No one can hold me! Only Kimimaro can hold me and he is dead. With him gone my rampages will continue!" Juugo shouted and Sasuke just took the situation calmly.
"I am in need of your help Juugo. Kimimaro died because of me. I was the person that was supposed to be delivered to Orochimaru," Sasuke said and Juugo widened his eyes. His curse mark receded while Sasuke's sharingan came over him.
"I will control your urges. I will become your cage," Sasuke said and Juugo stopped his rampage. He slowly nodded his head. He dropped his arms to his side showing Sasuke that Juugo was in complete submission to him.
"Well damn Sasuke. You did it so easily," Suigetsu said Sasuke snorted.
"We're leaving. Grab your things and get ready. We're going to locate Itachi Uchiha and...,"
"Kill him?" Suigetsu asked interrupting Sasuke and this was what Karin and Juugo thought as well before Sasuke turned around and walked forward.
"And have him face his responsibilities," Sasuke said while Yuna nodded. The others nodded for a different reason entirely before they all walked off. However, before they could go far. Yuna, much to Karin's shock and surprise, grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, spun him around, and quickly smothered his lips with her own. Sasuke's eyebrow twitched while Karin's jaw dropped to the floor. Suigetsu rolled his eyes over the entire thing while Juugo just didn't try to let it bother him. Granted yes, Yuna was still...thinking over her complete relationship to Sasuke, but she be damned if this Uzumaki girl would come between her and Sasuke. Sheesh, she was just as big a flirt as Fuka which made Yuna wonder if flirting was an Uzumaki trait.
Yuna, rather impulsively, pushed her tongue into Sasuke's mouth and the two Uchihas kept at it for a little while longer and Yuna could admit that it was the best kiss of her life. A kiss of sweetness, happiness, and...revenge!
Sasuke and Yuna separated and the first Uchiha coughed and straightened himself before walking off trying to think of something else. Meanwhile Yuna turned back to a very shocked Karin and flipped her long black hair.
"Better try some other guy," she said walking off and even Suigetsu couldn't resist the urge to laugh.
"She's got you pegged Karin!" Suigetsu said walking off and Juugo followed them while Karin slowly, but surely did follow after them as well grumbling some unintelligible words and cursing her luck at having another woman on the team.
"Oh, and I'm also an Uchiha," Yuna shouted from the distance seemingly reading Karin's thoughts. It was then that Karin's eyebrow twitched and she just walked trying not to let it bother her. Keyword is try.
With Naruto and Kushina, next morning
Naruto and Kushina were out in the lone field behind their house and Naruto was drawing...one Kushina's hands. Kushina chuckled slightly each time while Naruto sighed.
"Kaa-chan keep still. I can't complete the seals if you don't stop laughing," Naruto said and Kushina snickered.
"It's hehe not my fault dattebane. I'm hehehe ticklish hehehe," she said and Naruto's eyes gleamed. He would archive that away for later reference. He certainly wouldn't forget it anytime soon. That's one of those things that just made him love his mother even more than he already did. However with a little time, Naruto finished and the seals disappeared into Kushina's hands. The redhead Uzumaki didn't feel any different before turning to her son for an explanation. She didn't get it before Naruto helped her to her feet.
"Alright Kaa-chan. Close your eyes," Naruto said and Kushina did as instructed.
"Feel the Honshou in your body. Channel it towards your stomach and then when you feel it centered then channel it to both your hands and expel it in waves. Your clones had done it and now you just have to put it into practice," Naruto said and needless to say this, but Kushina was excited. It wasn't everyday that you got to create your own jutsu, even less a time-space one. Kushina pushed her Honshou down to her stomach. Since becoming Naruto's valve then her chakra was eliminated as well and she too was running on Honshou as well.
She felt it was there, then she just pushed it through her hands. As Naruto had said, Kushina could feel the seals at work ripping the Honshou to shreds and then repairing it just as fast and she saw the white ripples expel from her body.
"Kukanyugami no Jutsu," Naruto smiled as the white ripples pulsed all around them and he watched as everything stopped. It was quiet and Kushina opened her eyes. She saw that she had done it perfectly. Kushina smiled in delight as everything stopped moving in front of them. Kushina stood up and smiled triumphantly before grabbing Naruto into a hug. The two Uzumaki didn't keep this hug long and Kushina continued to walk around. She had five minutes to do so anyway. Naruto looked over the water near the pond before he got another idea.
"Hey Kaa-chan, I'm going to try something," Naruto said and Kushina nodded before she watched the seals on Naruto's body light up. Naruto quickly extended his hands and Kushina widened her eyes.
"Kukanyugami no Jutsu," Naruto shouted. Kyuubi raised an eyebrow to his jailer. A distorted space creation inside of an already distorted space. Oh boy if this didn't blow them all to hell then nothing would. Thankfully Kyuubi was happy to be wrong as Naruto opened his eyes. He looked around and nothing seemed to be happening. Kushina stared at him blankly and Naruto just stared back.
"Hmm I guess it doesn't do any-," Naruto paused as a purplish lightning came next to him. Kushina widened her eyes while Naruto did the same. He didn't react in time before a large hole appeared in front of him.
"SOCHI!" Kushina shouted and Naruto was pulled into the hole in front of him. Kushina widened her eyes to the sight that had happened in front of her. Naruto was gone. Like gone gone, she couldn't sense his chakra anyway. She felt...alone. Kushina looked around in haste before another hole appeared next to her. Kushina gasped before Naruto stepped out. He fell to the ground and the hole vanished while Naruto gasped.
"Oh man. What was that?" Naruto wondered before he was grabbed by Kushina into a hug.
"Oh don't scare me like that. I thought I lost you. What happened?" Kushina asked inspecting her son from head to toe. Naruto wasn't sure for the most part. He had just been in Iwa's territory for a good two minutes before he willed himself back to his mother's side. The portal had taken him to where he wanted.
"I don't know Kaa-chan, but we have to do that again!" Naruto shouted and Kushina shook her head snickering at the audacity of her son. However, five minutes were over for them both as time resumed for them. Everything started to move for them both before Naruto and Kushina turned to see a small lightning break in the air. It just stayed there and Naruto reached out his hand. He touched it and immediately the lightning faded into his body. Naruto took a sharp breath before he smiled. It just gave him some information. Whatever it was, Naruto just held out his hand.
"Jikūyugami no Jutsu( Time-Space Distortion Technique)," Naruto shouted and a large lightning appeared in front of him and Kushina. The redhead stepped back unconsciously and the lightning grew harder and louder before a hole appeared in front of Naruto. The blonde grinned like mad.
"Kaa-chan, this is the true form of the Kukanyugami. I just found it. The Jikūyugami no Jutsu. This is the completed form to the Time-Space Jutsu," Naruto said and he walked through it. He had imagined himself going to...
Kushina watched as Naruto walked through and the hole disappeared. It left her in the field for about three minutes before it came back and Naruto walked out as he dusted himself off from...sand that had gotten on his hair. Naruto grinned and gave his mother a thumbs up.
"I went all the way to Sunagakure Kaa-chan!" Naruto said and Kushina just fell to the ground. She really did have troublesome son, but betraying her thoughts was her curiosity. It reminded her of the time of distorted space that could only come from something like Minato's Hiraishin.
"Still that's way to slow to make. I have to increase the time to do it," Naruto said walking back to the house. Kushina walked after him. They were going to be busy for a few days.
Konoha, three days later
Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji were gathered around in front of the gates of Konoha. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio had their bags right on their backs.
"Are you guys ready?" Shikamaru asked and the two other teammates nodded their heads. They couldn't rest well with it. They had to allow Asuma to rest in peace. They had to find those guys and end their lives even if it meant that they wouldn't be coming back themselves.
"Yeah we're ready," Ino said and Shikamaru nodded his head. They all quickly walked up to the gates before they heard a voice.
"And where do you think you're going?" Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji did a sharp turn left and right before looking up to see Kakashi and Mikoto looking at them both. Shikamaru cursed underneath his breath before Kakashi and Mikoto jumped down.
"Do you know the consequences of leaving the village?" Mikoto asked and everyone flinched from her tone, but they nonetheless nodded and Kakashi sighed.
"Grudges aren't suitable for shinobi. You're being children," he told them while Ino and Chouji held their heads down. Shikamaru sighed and dropped his bag before Kakashi and Mikoto glanced to each other and nodded. They both smiled and turned around.
"It's alright. We knew you'd do something like this. So we put in a request for the mission to Tsunade. We're to locate those two if they're still in Hi no Kuni. You will be coming with us," Kakashi said and the others widened their eyes while Mikoto nodded. They nodded hesitantly and the two Hinoken members quickly rushed off in the dawn of morning while Team Ten quickly followed them out.
Morning
Hidan and Kakuzu were walking through a ruined piece of land after dealing with Asuma Sarutobi. It had been a good day for Hidan and nothing could get him down. Not even Kakuzu and the clattering sounds of money in his pouches. It did piss Hidan off, but not enough to keep the stupid smile from coming to his face.
"And what's got you in such a good mood?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan just snorted.
"What's not to be happy about? I got to sacrifice another fool. You got your stupid money for killing him and we haven't seen hide nor fuckin hair of Konoha. I guess that they really are chickens after all," Hidan said while Kakuzu just snorted. He didn't even really care at the moment and the two just continued to walk.
"Well I don't think we're chickens. Just had to get ourselves...organized," the two turned around fast only to dodge a fireball to their faces. Hidan jumped to the right and Kakuzu to the left and both landed on their feet.
"Oi, what the fuck is wrong with you?!" Hidan shouted while Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. Kakashi smiled as he came out through the clearing. Kakashi and the others didn't have to try hard to find these guys. After all, they weren't too hard to spot with those cloaks on.
"Kakashi Hatake. S-rank nin of Konohagakure. It seems that I will be making another big profit," Kakuzu said while Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
"Are you fuckin' stupid? You actually wanted to challenge us alone?" Hidan asked, but Kakashi just shook his head. Immediately Mikoto swooped down with a flutter of her scarf in the wind. Her long sword strapped to her back while she glared at Hidan.
"No, he has help," she said and then Team 10 proceeded to come down and do the same. They all glared at Hidan and Kakuzu while the former chuckled.
"Oh this promises to be great. Jashin-sama, please grant your servant a lovely kill today," Hidan spoke while Shikamaru and the others glared.
"Alright they are both S-ranked criminals. Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji you're on standby until we give you the signal. Shikamaru, you want to prove yourself right?" Kakashi asked and Shikamaru nodded his head. For Asuma, he wanted to get that Hidan guy alone and dispose of him himself.
"Alright then, Mikoto and I will be creating the distraction. All of you move when we give you the signal," Kakashi said while Mikoto glanced to her partner.
"You'd better activate it while you have the chance Kakashi. They aren't going to give you the chance to do it in battle," Mikoto advised and Kakashi agreed. He quickly took a hold of his scarf and pulled a portion of it off his eye revealing his sharingan. Mikoto did the same as her eyes flashed red as well. The two Hinoken members drew their swords while Kakuzu smirked. He unbuttoned his cloak and threw it to the ground while Hidan stood next to him. Four hearts appeared on Kakuzu's back before they shot out and each mask took the form of a different animal shaped creature or so Kakashi and Mikoto tried to identify.
"Don't let your guard down Hidan," Kakuzu told him and Hidan just snickered as he swirled his scythe around his neck.
"What do those masks do?" Kakashi asked, but Mikoto wasn't sure. However both were about to find out as Hidan charged at Kakashi. His speed was fast to Team 10, but faster than him was Mikoto who clashed her sword to his scythe.
"Bitch don't get in my way!" Hidan shouted while the sparks flew from their weapons. Mikoto kicked Hidan back away from her partner while Kakashi passed her and quickly ran towards Kakuzu trusting that Mikoto would be fine.
"Coming for me are you? Very good," Kakuzu said aloud while Kakashi jumped in the air. His blade coursed with raiton chakra before he slammed it into the ground. Kakuzu backflipped away from the intended strike, but he didn't count on Kakashi's speed as the Hinoken member quickly got up in his face. Kakashi let out a kick, but Kakuzu blocked it and sent a punch the sharingan-wielder's way. Kakashi dropped away from it before he noticed the threaded demons around him swirling. Kakashi jumped away from one, but the other slammed him in the chest knocking him away from Kakuzu.
Mikoto saw the action, but she couldn't move to help Kakashi at the moment. She didn't dare try either.
"Wanna help him don't you?" Hidan asked with a snicker and while Mikoto didn't show it, that smirk pissed her off.
"I'll just focus on you," she said and suddenly her sword quickly blazed in fire over Hidan's scythe before the fire intensified her gaze. Hidan had to cover his eyes and that was his mistake as Mikoto launched her sword up which sent Hidan's scythe in the air over his body. Mikoto then adjusted her body and placed her blade near Hidan's stomach ready for the cut until she did a sharp roll across the ground to dodge three wind bullets.
"What?" Mikoto said as she saw the wind kanji demon flying over head. She cursed while Hidan ran up to her and tried to deliver a punch which he did. Mikoto was sent flying across the field and slammed into a decaying tree and then she was pinned by Hidan's scythe. Team 10 growled while Hidan smiled.
"Time to be sacrificed," he said before he noticed Mikoto smile. She just shook her head and poofed out replacing herself with a log while Hidan growled.
"Damn bitch!" Hidan shouted at the top of his voice before he heard a sharp whistle.
"That's the signal!" Shikamaru shouted as he, Ino and Chouji moved into the field. Shikamaru quickly jumped into the air while Mikoto swiftly dashed away from Hidan. The Akatsuki member gasped as she quickly ran for Kakashi to assist him and Hidan followed her before Ino and Chouji blocked him.
"You're caught. Kagemane Success," Shikamaru said as he let out a punch that Hidan caught easily, but with a kick Shikamaru pulled his hand back and behind him was the two individual shadows that had connected themselves to each other. Shikamaru and Hidan landed at the same time while he gave a thumbs up to Ino and Chouji.
"Go Shikamaru. We've got things covered here. Just don't die on us. It's not what Asuma-sensei would want," Chouji said and Shikamaru smirked with a sharp nod of his head. He then quickly ran away into the forest near the clearing with Hidan having no choice but to follow him and the two quickly disappeared into the shrubbery. Asuma was right behind him and sighed with a shake of his head.
"This guy is going to get himself killed one of these days for doing this, but that's why I like him," Asuma said with a smile on his face as he floated after Shikamaru.
With Tsunade
The Godaime Hokage sighed as she tapped her finger impatiently. She couldn't believe that she just sent them after the Akatsuki in the hopes that they would be found. Maybe she just had a soft spot for the brats, but that didn't stop her concern from approaching on her face.
"Shizune, summon Naruto and Kushina right now!" Tsunade ordered and Shizune, surprised at her master's tone, quickly ran off to go and find Naruto and Kushina.
Tsunade's finger intertwined together and in less than ten minutes, Naruto and Kushina appeared from the ceiling and into the ground. Tsunade notice something different about them, Naruto the most. The blonde didn't have his Hinoken clothes on, no he had a white T-shit and black jeans, but on his hands seemed to be two seals that Tsunade couldn't understand what they meant. Right next around his neck was a necklace right next to he one that she had given him. In contrast to her green one, this one was red with a certain amount of black added to it. She'd have to ask about that later.
Next to him was his mother. She had her Hinoken clothes on, but on Kushina's left hand was a single seal and underneath her clothes on her stomach was another little seal that Tsunade couldn't see.
"You called Baa-chan?" Naruto asked snapping Tsunade out of her stupor. She then nodded and stood up.
"Early this morning I gave Kakashi, Mikoto and Team Ten a mission. They were to hunt down the two Akatsuki members who murdered Asuma. It's been quite a while since that time. Naruto and Kushina, you both are to back them up in anyway that you can," Tsunade said and Naruto narrowed his eyes while a smile graced his lips. Kushina smiled as well and Tsunade wondered if this was the right choice. She didn't know why, but she could just see the Shinigami behind the both of them before they saluted her and vanished out of sight to go and get ready.
With Naruto and Kushina
Having gotten dressed Naruto smiled and held out his hand.
"Jikūyugami no Jutsu," Naruto shouted before he grabbed his mother's waist. Naruto was able to pinpoint Kakashi's chakra signature and Mikoto's Honshou before the two Uzumaki vanished a large portal in an instant.
With Kakashi and Mikoto
"RAH!" Kakashi shouted as he slammed his raiton filled sword through Kakuzu's body. He effectively crushed the one with the lightning mask while Kakuzu growled. Kakashi smirked at the accomplishment while Mikoto blocked two of the others. Kakuzu jumped away from Kakashi and took out a kunai while Kakuzu did three handsigns.
"Katon: Zukokku( Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work)," he shouted and a small fire came across the ground before it erupted in a firestorm that bursted in a wide area.
"He has fire too?" Kakashi thought to himself before he quickly ducked behind a tree. Mikoto followed him and so did Ino and Chouji.
"Oh man this guy is going to be tough," Ino said before the fire settled down. Kakashi huffed and so did Mikoto. The two glanced to each other and nodded before they flew out of their hiding spots and charged at Kakuzu. The Akatsuki treasurer smirked as one of his demons flew in front of Kakashi. The jonin narrowed his eyes and drew his blade back.
"Raikiri: Josan Raiha( Lightning Edge: Splitting Lightning Blade)," Kakashi shouted as a large light appeared from his blade. He quickly slashed at the demon in front of him and three lightning waves escaped from his sword as one cut the demon in half and the other two made their ways towards Kakuzu. Kakuzu narrowed his eyes as each one converged on him in an explosion. The dust picked up around them while Kakashi and Mikoto landed on the ground.
"Do you sense him?" Kakashi asked and Mikoto shook her head. Her sharingan was working overtime before she widened her eyes and turned around.
"Chouji-san, block!" Mikoto shouted and Chouji did so only for a kick to hit him and send him flying into a tree. Chouji coughed before Kakuzu appeared in front of him again and blast him further through the tree and into the ground. Kakashi and Mikoto cursed as they charged back at Kakuzu. They had to put an end to this.
"Katon: Karyū Endan no Jutsu," Mikoto shouted and sent a large wave of fire across the fire towards Kakuzu. Seeing the incoming fire upon his person Kakuzu quickly used his hands and held up a few handsigns.
"Suiton: Suijinheki," He said and a large array of water shot up and blocked the fire causing a mist to flow over the field. Kakashi narrowed his eyes as did Mikoto. They could still see Kakuzu in there as he didn't know the silent killing, but they weren't experts of it either so these wasn't much for them to go on.
"Kakashi, go and I will back you up. Now!" Mikoto shouted and Kakashi quickly jumped forward. He quickly charged at Kakuzu and the two quickly exchanged blows in the mist. The two clashes could be heard from inside the mist while Mikoto leaned against a tree. She then placed her hand on the ground and smiled.
"Honshou: Yomigaeri no Kaen( Power of Life: Resurrecting the Fire)," Mikoto shouted and a large trail of Honshou ran across the ground and circled around the spot where Kakashi and Kakuzu were. Mikoto then slammed the ground and shouted.
"Kakashi move!" Mikoto shouted and Kakashi did so. He quickly jumped back away from Kakuzu and a heavy fire came over the fire while Kakashi widened his eyes.
"What is that? It's nothing like the Amaterasu flames that I've seen," Kakashi said. Mikoto grouped up with him and she noticed that Kakashi's clothes were a little torn and he looked a little ragged. Mikoto held him before they noticed a white ball in Kakuzu's hand. He was still inside the fire, but he just smirked and raised his hand.
"Fūton: Atsugai( Wind Release: Pressure Damage)," he shouted and the ball of wind compressed itself before it quickly was released from the high density and sent across the entire field. Kakashi and Mikoto cursed as it blew the white flames away and Kakuzu did another handsign. One that they knew would be very bad.
"Katon: Zukokku," Kakuzu yelled and his fire demon sent the fire into the wind. Both mixed and a large fire blasted through the fields destroying everything in its path. Even the water that had been used by Kakuzu previously. Kakashi and Mikoto managed to dodge the intense flames while Kakuzu spoke again.
"You might've dodged it well, but your time is up. I'm impressed with you intelligence Copy Ninja," Kakuzu yelled while Kakashi huffed. He could feel the sharingan sapping his chakra that he wanted to conserve.
"Kakashi, recover your chakra. I will go out and take him," Mikoto said while Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
"Can we afford that?" he asked and Mikoto smiled.
"Hey I'm the only one with the Honshou in this group. I can't die and trust me. You aren't ready to die just yet," Mikoto said standing to her feet. She quickly stared Kakuzu down and was ready to charge before everyone was surprised by the large hole that came out of nowhere. Kakuzu narrowed his eyes before a foot came out and touched the earth. The person came out while Kakashi and Mikoto, Chouji and Ino, were all surprised as Naruto and Kushina dropped to the ground.
"Kushina, Naruto!" Kakashi said while the two Uzumaki turned around. Both could see the light injuries on Mikoto and Kakashi's person. Both Hinoken members then turned around to seeing Kakuzu glaring at them both.
"So that's who we're dealing with," Naruto said while Kushina glared. The two Uzumaki could see the Akatsuki member smirked and folded his arms over his chest.
"The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. I didn't think that you would try and find us on your own. How pleasant. We will be taking you as well," Kakuzu said, however that all ended as he met Naruto's eyes. The eyes of pure death in them. Everything in Kakuzu's being told him that this body was the harbinger of Death. He was the one who could kill you just with a flick of his sword. This kid had to die. Akatsuki or not, but Kakuzu knew that if he didn't kill Naruto then the rest of Akatsuki was doomed. The earth demon charged at them both and before Kakashi or Mikoto could tell them to react, Kushina snapped her fingers and everyone saw the earth demon fall to the ground in tons of pieces. Naruto smirked while Kakuzu widened his eyes.
"W-What was that? How did it fall so easily?" he thought while Naruto snickered. He turned to the source of the noise and looked at his mother.
"You didn't have to use the new method so readily," Naruto said while Kushina shrugged her shoulders. Everyone else raised an eyebrow while they noticed the seal on Kushina's hands. Those few days that they had to themselves, Naruto and Kushina had spent the time working with the Kukanyugami as well as the Jikūyugami. They had discovered that the Jikūyugami could teleport them anywhere that they wanted so long as they thought it. Also by sending the perfect amount of Honshou into their fingertips and then snapping then the snap would release the waves of Honshou around everyone while Kushina could strike if she wanted. It was how she defeated that demon so fast. No one, not even Mikoto or Kakashi with their sharingan could see her if her did this. However, like Naruto she couldn't use the Kukanyugami more than three times a day.
Now the Jikūyugami, well that would just have to be a surprise for later.
"Well it's not my fault that I discovered this method first dattebane," Kushina said while Naruto's eyebrow twitched. He just sighed and shook his head before turning around.
"Well then Kaa-chan would you mind if I dealt with this? I'd like to show the results of our training," Naruto said and Kushina thought it over. Then she just nodded and backed away.
"Kushina, what are you doing? You can't let Shikon-sama do this alone," Mikoto said, but Kushina just kept the smile plastered on her face. Kakashi watched Naruto walk forward and so did Ino and Chouji. Both chunin wondered what their fellow comrade could do when they could do nothing.
"Well looks like I get to beat you," Naruto said and Kakuzu narrowed his eyes.
"It won't be that simple Kyuubi Jinchuuriki," he said and Naruto watched as the two demon in the air came together and became a part of Kakuzu's body.
"Jiongu( Earth Grudge Fear)," Kakuzu shouted as threads came together around his body and bursted in all directions. The fire and wind demons appeared at the sides of his neck while Naruto smiled. Naruto quickly drew his sword. He took his mother's stance before he blurred out of sight. The blonde quickly slashed at one of Kakuzu's threads in a burst of speed making the Akatsuki member widen his eyes to the sudden slash before he swept one forward. Naruto jumped over it and did a handsign.
"Fūton: Daitoppa," Naruto shouted and a fierce wind slammed into Kakuzu's body sending the Akatsuki member back slightly.
"Katon: Zukokku," Kakuzu shouted as his wind and fire demons' techniques came together in a ferocious fire towards Naruto. The blonde raised his sword over his head and closed his eyes before slashing it down. The fire separated and dispelled into nothingness making Kakuzu widen his eyes as Naruto spoke.
"Fire is life. All life ends at some point. My blade is able to take that life," Naruto said and Kakuzu quickly grew a little agitated at being underestimate against Naruto. The sent a tendril at the blonde and Naruto quickly rolled to the side while he crossed his fingers.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto shouted as four clones came in front of him. Naruto closed his eyes and made his Rasengan before he added his fūton chakra to it. Everyone heard the loud screeching through the field as Ino and Chouji covered their ears.
"Fūton: Rasenshuriken," Naruto shouted before his clones quickly raced through masking Naruto's true presence between them. Kakuzu looked at them all, but he lost sight of the real Naruto before three clones came at him. Kakuzu outstretched his hands at two and a thread tendril slammed into another. Fire and wind dominated the two clones to the side as the dispelled.
"Was that all of them?" Kakuzu thought to himself before he still heard the swirling. Naruto quickly moved in close to him and grinned.
"Say goodbye," He said as Kakuzu gasped and closed his eyes. Naruto was mere inches from his face before the blonde cursed before it dissipated.
"Dammit, I thought I worked out that problem," Naruto thought to himself before he was slammed by a tendril and sent crashing into the ground. Kushina narrowed her eyes while Naruto landed in front of her.
"What happened?" she asked kneeling down and Naruto coughed.
"I couldn't hold the technique from the repeated uses of the time-space ninjutsu today. It was too unstable, but don't worry Kaa-chan, I've got something even more fun to try," Naruto said and Kushina nodded her head while Naruto got to his feet.
"Baka, are you going to let us help you now?" Ino asked while Naruto dusted off his clothes. He glanced back at Ino and the blonde girl could see the coldness in his eyes and flinched before Naruto smiled.
"Oh no, there are lots of other ways that I can do this dattebayo," Naruto said to her and quickly continued in the fight.
With Yugao
The ex-Anbu captain was currently running through the trees back to Uzushiogakure for some peace and relaxation. She couldn't wait to finally see the others, maybe catch up on some reading and then take another crack at the bingo book. She had taken her share of the money from the Hinoken account and would use it to upgrade her sword. That's what she was thinking until a red blur passed her.
"Kushina?" Yugao asked in thought before she turned around. She quickly raced through the trees to catch up to the person who had been huffing for a little bit before Yugao grabbed her shoulder.
"Fuka-san, what are you doing out here?" Yugao asked and Fuka slightly panted before brushing some sweat from her face. She grabbed Yugao's shoulders and huffed a little more.
"Where is Naruto-kun?" Fuka asked in haste and Yugao raised an eyebrow.
"He's back in the village. What's the problem?" she asked and Fuka's face scrunched up into a scowl.
"Yuri was captured by Akatsuki. Everyone has decided to go and look for her and they left Uzushiogakure together. I was the one who was sent to tell Naruto-kun and you guys," Fuka said while Yugao widened her eyes. She quickly turned around and ran for Konoha along with Fuka to go and spill the news.
With Naruto
Naruto quickly ran at Kakuzu one more time while the man snickered.
"It's no use. Katon: Zukokku," Kakuzu shouted while Naruto quickly opened his hand and held up a handsign.
"Say hello to Uzumaki Naruto's first Time-Space Ninjutsu move. Jikūyugami no Jutsu(Time-Space Distortion Technique)," Naruto shouted and in an instant Kakashi and Mikoto widened their eyes while Kushina smirked. The purplish portal appeared in front of Naruto and the fire quickly raced through that portal and vanished. Kakuzu was now utterly confused to the portal in front of him before it closed as Naruto balled his fist. He then smirked and held up another hand. Right behind Kakuzu came another portal and the fire raced out and slammed him in the back burning him. Kakuzu winced from the fire before he saw the ground under him raise up in chains. The chains grabbed Kakuzu and hoisted him into the air. Kakuzu looked at Naruto and the blonde held another Rasenshuriken in his hands. He stepped through the portal and watched it close while everyone waited hastily. Above Kakuzu, Naruto dove out and shouted.
"Fūton: Rasenshuriken," Naruto shouted as he slammed the Rasenshuriken into Kakuzu's body. The blast sent him flying into the ground before he was crushed by the weight of the exploding ball on his body. He could feel his cells being ripped apart at the seams as wind blades attacked his chakra circulatory system. Kakuzu yelled out his pain while Kakashi was watching it all go down.
"I can't even count the number of wind blades that are in that technique with my sharingan," Kakashi thought to himself. Soon the blast stopped and Kakuzu dropped to the ground. Naruto looked at his dead body and gripped his sword tightly.
Knowing what he was about to do, Kakashi, Mikoto and Kushina turned to Ino and Chouji who were left in awe.
"Ino, Chouji, go and check on Shikamaru. He's been gone a long time," Kakashi ordered and the two nodded their heads before racing off. Naruto gave a silent nod of thanks that Kakashi returned while he drew blood over his seal.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto said and Shin appeared behind him. The blonde activated his Honshou and looked up to see Kakuzu shivering under his gaze.
"Not even money can save you from the wrath of the Shinigami," Naruto said while Kakuzu backed away. The spirits all grabbed his arms and pushed him towards their summoner.
"You are a perversion of life. You who try to cheat death. You who disrespects Shin's laws and go against his mindset. Your soul...is mine," Naruto said as he slashed Kakuzu in half. The man yelled out as he faded, but then he was grabbed by Shin and hoisted into the air.
"All life ends at some point. You have more than overstayed your pitiful existence. Now you shall suffer the consequences," he and Kakuzu's astral form fell into Shin's mouth and he would rest in the stomach of the Shinigami, never to be seen again. Naruto closed his eyes and smiled.
"How many people can I revive with him?" Naruto asked while Shin thought it over.
"Two people for him," He said and Naruto nodded his head before he saw the spirit of Asuma coming over to him in all smiles. Naruto raised an eyebrow before Asuma gave him a thumbs up and the rundown.
Flashback
Shikamaru continued to run through the forest before he made a quick stop. He turned around and Hidan glared at him as the shadow around his faded.
"So you think you've won?! You've done nothing, but kill yourself!" Hidan shouted before he grabbed his scythe and charged at Shikamaru.
"You killed Asuma-sensei," Shikamaru stated coldly while Hidan smirked.
"The best kill I had thus far," he said and Shikamaru glared before he backflipped away from Hidan's scythe a little too late as it grazed his side. Hidan smirked at the drop of blood on his scythe before his skin turned black and a red circle appeared underneath his feet.
"Now then, let's go to heaven together!" He shouted as he was ready to stab himself before he heard Shikamaru speak.
"Kage Nui no Jutsu( Shadow Sewing Technique)," Shikamaru shouted and thousands of shadows underneath his feet came up and caught Hidan's arms and legs before they wrapped him in hundreds of explosion tags and trapped his body. Shikamaru held up Asuma's lighter and sighed. Asuma smiled at the act and closed his eyes. He didn't know shit about Honshou, but if he could just do a little then it would be all right. Asuma channeled his Honshou to his body and tapped Shikamaru's shoulder making the chunin genius turn his head to the right to see Asuma smirking at him. He must've lost it, but the smile on Asuma's face was reassuring before the jonin faded from his view.
"I will protect the King. Who is the King? The children of Konoha, the next generation. It's the power to protect something important. That's the Will of Fire," Shikamaru said as he tossed the lighter towards Hidan. The flames came closer and Hidan's eyes showed terror before he exploded while Shikamaru stared at him with his hand standing out.
The explosion subsided and Shikamaru noticed tons of Hidan's body on the ground.
"I can't be kill you fool. I won't die! I'll live on forever!" Hidan shouted while Shikamaru just nodded and made a hole in the ground. He buried Hidan inside and stood up.
"Then you'll be alive without anyone to hear you," Shikamaru said as he walked off.
Flashback over
Naruto smiled and walked towards the trees while Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji came out. The blonde looked at Shikamaru and the two high-fived each other and everyone else gave a thumbs up.
"Tired?" Naruto asked and Shikamaru rolled his eyes with a smile on his face.
"It was all troublesome," he said walking away and Naruto disappeared into the woods. He found the damaged spot of earth and quickly dug Hidan up out of the ground.
"Dammit all. When I find that asshole I'm going to make him rot in the-," Hidan trailed off with a cough before he noticed Naruto's sword above his head.
"You who kill for pleasure. You who sacrifice to your cult god. You who wish to live eternally from Shin. You fear death and all it holds. Now it is the only thing that will accept you. May you take responsibility for your actions against Shin with your soul!" Naruto shouted as he slammed his sword into Hidan's head. He then pulled out his sword and Naruto beckoned for Shin to appear before him.
"So Jashin, you abandoned another follower allowing me to take him. It's no wonder that you can't hold a summoner. Such a fool," Shin said before he grabbed a screaming Hidan.
"No, No! Let me go you sack of shit!" Hidan shouted while Shin glared.
"Rest in the pits of Hell where your kind belong," He said and opened his mouth. Shin consumed Hidan who shouted out indecencies before he was gone. Shin closed his mouth and Naruto smiled.
"How much for that one?
"The same. It is two," Shin said and Naruto nodded his head. That was four people that he could bring back if he so wished. Other than Tayuya, none of his summons desired to be revived. They had enjoyed their lives and didn't want anything more. Now they just wanted to help their new master as well as they could. Naruto decided to think about it later.
"Ready to go back?" Kushina asked and Naruto sighed with a tired smile.
"Yep. Besides, I can't wait to see Yuri-chan and see how strong she's gotten," Naruto said and Kushina nodded her head as the two left the destroyed field behind along with the rest of their friends
A little later, Namikaze House
Naruto widened his eyes and slammed the table in utter anger as his Honshou bursted from his body. Kushina widened her eyes as her seals lit up dangerously while Yugao and Fuka flinched.
"Wanna...repeat...that?" Naruto asked visibly trembling angrily while Fuka sweated from the feeling of Death upon her person.
"Naruto, first we need you to calm down," Yugao said before Naruto glared hard at her. Yugao flinched from the stair while Fuka told him. She had just got to him about an two hours after his fight. Naruto was looking forward to relaxing as was Kushina with dinner. Imagine them ready to eat when Yugao and Fuka come through the door.
"Naruto-kun, Yuri was captured by Akatsuki. They came to Uzushiogakure and took her from us while we were distracted. We...have no idea where she is," Fuka said and Naruto growled as the seals on his body and near his Kyuubi seal started to light up. Even Kyuubi was forced to recognize this fearsome power. He already held the blonde in high regard for that time-stopping ninjutsu and the Jikūyugami just topped that, but this power just felt so much like death that even Kyuubi didn't like it.
Naruto growled and balled his fists enough to make them bleed.
"Whoever took her I will find them. I will drag their souls to Shin through hell. You don't fuckin' mess with Naruto Uzumaki's family and get away with it! Don't worry Yuri-chan I will find you,"
KG: Whew we survived!
Rikku: I told you to trust in my driving.
KG: Yes, your driving. Whatever. Now then, I tried to make the Jikūyugami to a combination of Kakashi and Obito's Kamui and Minato's Hiraishin sort of. That became the result. Now the Jikūyugami has its own drawbacks that don't make it as strong as I would like it to be. Just like the Kukanyugami can't be used for more than three times a day, but the Jikūyugami can be used as many times as Naruto wants. However this is only useable to people with Honshou. You know what I'll just do it like this. (Types)
Jikūyugami no Jutsu
Ability: Able to transport Naruto, Kushina and anyone they choose to any direction that they wish so long as they think of it.
Strength: Can be used consecutively. Can be used inside of the Kukanyugami. Isn't traceable to the Byakugan or Sharingan.
Weaknesses: Can only be used by those who wield the true power of Honshou( I.E Naruto and Kushina and a few other spirits). Requires a heavy use of Honshou to maintain each time. Will cause a space rift if used too often by too many people. Negates the use of chakra, but not Honshou.
Users: Naruto and Kushina Uzumaki.
Kukanyugami no Jutsu
Abilities: Able to stop time within the reach of Naruto or Kushina for precisely five minutes.
Strengths: Able to...stop time. Can be used in conjunction with ninjutsu. Isn't copyable. Can only be used by those with the true power of Honshou. Can't be intercepted easily by those without the training to deal with it.
Weaknesses: Five minute limit. Requires Honshou to use. Requires expert fuinjutsu to break and reconstruct Honshou through the body. Uses a large amount of Honshou each time of the five minutes. People trapped inside the technique are stopped as they are. Ex, if they are water then they won't be harmed by sword, lightning techniques or wind techniques. If they are intangible then they will be intangible until they are caught in it while solid.
KG: There that is the best way I can get it to you.
Rikku: Ahh there is nothing better than laying in a pool at your beach house just doing nothing. Jeeves get me a small cream soda.
Jeeves: Yes milady. Lord KG would you like anything?
KG: A large cream soda Jeeves. Thank you very much.
Jeeves: Yes sir.
Rikku: You didn't tell me that you had a summer house.
KG: Yeah parents never used it. Only me and my sister did anything with it so our parents just gave it to us. We are currently using it for college. We're the only ones to live off-campus.
Rikku: Awesome. So KG, now that you're done do you think that you can give me a tour of the house?
KG: I thought you did one?
Rikku: Well I just glanced. I still haven't seen the bedroom, the kitchen, the living room, the basement or the...pool,"
KG: OH! That tour. Well I'm sorry. I didn't mean to not give you that tour. I'm sorry about that Rikku-chan.
Rikku: That's fine. It's been a fantasy of mine. Get it? Because I'm from Final Fantasy. Heehehehe, it's funny.
KG: Yeah.
Jeeves: Your cream soda sir and madam.
Both of us: Thank you Jeeves.
(Jeeves bows and leaves)
Rikku: So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and (purrs) give me the tour.
KG: Be right there. Now then. See you later people and please try and ignore that last bit in the last chapter of the story. It was supposed to be for a sequel! (Sigh) well I guess you all know what I would've done anyway. Well whatever. Forget it now. Well then, stay breezy, protect what's important to you, review, and SEND ME CREAM SODA! Also please as someone is your witness, I would like you all to...RESPECT DA CREAM! Any other soda is irrelevant!
Rikku: (Purrs) KyuubiGoku, it's time to sink the Titanic.
KG: SEE YA! Also sorry to anyone who lost someone important to the Titanic. KyuubiGoku tries not to be an insensitive jackass and if he is then he severely apologizes. Ahem, bye bye.
