## Some Time Later - October 10th ##
Senshi was now 16 years old and has matured a lot more. He has trained with Fune more and has learned how to use Fune's powers with versatility. Since he had unlocked Fune's Initial Charge, Fune's stayed in his Initial Charge and that was now his base form. Senshi has also learned how to throw Fune's blade at a trajectory that allows Fune to come back like a boomerang. Fune had taught Senshi multiple powerful sword moves, such as the Youjinbo or the Dancing Blade Risk, which is a dashing slash, and the Hadan or Rupture, which is a blade beam sent toward the foe. Senshi had also gained the Toad Contract from the boss summon of the Toads himself, Gamabunta. In short, Senshi had become deadlier than ever, especially in Kenjutsu to compliment all his other skills, especially his speed, because on one mission with Minato during the Third War, he had fought the son of the Sandaime or Third Raikage, Unruly Ay along with his brother and the new Hachibi or Eight Tails jinchuriki, Killer Bee.
## Flashback - Forest ##
Minato and Senshi, who by this time had learned how to harness Fune's power and was promoted to Elite Jonin, were traveling with some more fellow Konoha shinobi to the front of the war when, in the middle of the forest where a patch of flat, grassy land was, they ended up meeting Unruly Ay, son of the Third and supposedly most powerful Raikage, along with his adopted brother Killer Bee, the Hachibi jinchuriki, and some Kumo-nin. Minato and Senshi placed their Hiraishin kunai on the trees all around to have full control over the battlefield and the flow of the fight. They saw that Ay was in front with the Kumo-nin and Killer Bee behind him. One of the Kumo-nin asked, "Sunny blond and jet-black hair? Space-Time Ninjutsu? Those are definitely the Black and Yellow Flash, right?! Then we've gotta get out of here?", then Ay asked, "So they are the ones who killed hundreds of ninja and fought back the other villages, including us, as well as stopped the capture of the Kyuubi and the re-capturing of the Sanbi. Never would've guessed the more powerful of Konoha's Twin Flashes was a kid, and wearing Senju armor with the Uchiha symbol no less.", and Senshi, not bothered by this statement, said, "So you are Unruly Ay, son of Kumogakure's Third and apparently strongest known Raikage. They say you're as fast as literal lightning, and I've heard your temper is as short as a little finger. I want to fight you, so hit me with all you've got!", then Killer Bee said, "With Brother and me, we're gonna get ya, fool ya fool!", then Minato said, "I wouldn't be so sure about that." Senshi then said, "Bring it, Unruly Ay!", and as Ay was charging up for his fastest technique, Senshi turned to Minato and said, "I'll deal with Ay. You deal with the Hachibi jinchuriki, Killer Bee, okay Minato-sensei?", then Minato nodded and rushed toward Killer Bee to keep him occupied. Ay, now surrounded by his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, dashed forward with a fist ready to punch, moving so fast that Senshi wouldn't have been able to dodge it if it weren't for one thing. Senshi powered up and shouted, " Kaimon, Kyūmon, Seimon, Shomon Kai (Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain Open)!", opening half of the 8 Inner Gates and releasing an immense amount of chakra, as much as Minato's with every singular gate that was opened, astonishing everyone. Chakra flames cloaked his body in an aura and as Ay punched toward Senshi, Ay shouted, "Raitoningu Sutorēto (Lightning Straight)!" As the punch was about to connect, Senshi just sidestepped with a bored, uninterested expression on his face, making Ay think, "This kid countered me at my top speed?!", before throwing a kunai up above Ay and teleporting to it, landing on Ay's back. Senshi placed a Hiraishin seal on Ay's back before grabbing the kunai that he had teleported to earlier to get onto Ay's back. He then tried to stab Ay in the back with the kunai, but Ay was moved or rather, pushed by a strange octupus tentacle that got stabbed by the attack meant to stab Ay. Another tentacle wrapped around Senshi's right wrist, which held the kunai, and squeezed tightly, forcing Senshi to drop the knife. Senshi turned to where the tentacles came from and saw that Killer Bee had 8 tentacles or the Hachibi or Gyuki's tails coming out from his back. Killer Bee was holding back Minato's kunai with his Supervibrato Lightning Release Swords while also saving his brother using the tentacles of Gyuki. Senshi, amused, said, "Heh, so you're cooperating with your jinchuriki, huh Gyuki? Well, I better get serious." Senshi unsheathed Fune and flung him high into the air, praying to Kami that he had calculated the trajectory right. Everyone watched, riveted, as Fune came down, and they all gasped audibly as his blade severed the two tentacles attacking Senshi, freeing his right wrist from pressure and leaving two Hachibi chakra-charged octopus tentacles there. Senshi thought, "Eight Tails chakra meat. I'll keep this for later.", as he put the severed tentacles into a stasis or preservation seal scroll that would keep the tentacles from decomposing, and Senshi closed his 4 open Inner Gates, cutting off the chakra flow that came from the open Gates. Ay said from where he was standing,"Forgive me, Bee." Minato broke the clash and went back beside Senshi as Ay also used the Shunshin to get back beside Bee. As Senshi and Minato turned to leave, Bee said, "This is nothing! Eight Tails is the cool Killer Bee.. That's me!" As Senshi and Minato stepped away, they both stopped and turned their heads to face the Kumo group. Minato addressed Killer Bee, saying, "You have amazing prowess. Not as the Jinchuriki of the Hachibi.. But as a shinobi, it seems you possess something very powerful.", and Senshi said, "I agree. You aren't strong just because of the Hachibi. You have something else.. something powerful.", then Ay cut in, saying, "Of course he's strong! He's got more natural talent than me!" Minato replied, "No, we don't mean that. He possesses something more precious." This confused and alarmed Ay, who asked, "Huh?!" Senshi remarked, "Ay.. You have a fine family. So do me and Minato-sensei. Next time you and Minato-sensei meet, you'll probably be fighting one Kage against another. But I warn you: if you don't figure out what your little brother considers most precious to him.. He will not be a Jinchuriki or human." As Minato left and Senshi began doing the same, Ay looked at all the kunai and thought, "The Space-Time Ninjutsu goes where the kunai are..", and as Ay activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he thought, "If I can figure out which one he'll pop up at, I can get him with my top speed.", before rushing toward Senshi again. As Ay was about to collide with Senshi, Senshi said, "I have my own responsibilities..", and Ay thought, "Go fly!" Senshi disappeared and Ay looked over his shoulder at all the Hiraishin kunai thinking, "Now! Which kunai will it be?" Suddenly Senshi appeared behind Killer Bee, kunai at the Hachibi jinchuriki's throat, and he said, "So I won't fail. I can't afford to fail!" Ay turned to see it as an astonished Kumo-nin saw a Hiraishin seal on the tentacle that Senshi had stabbed and said, "On the Hachibi's tentacles.. There's a Space-Time Ninjutsu formula!" Ay thought back to Senshi stabbing the tentacle that had saved Ay and thought, "Was that when..?" Killer Bee put the sharp tip of his Supervibrato Lightning Release Sword right at Senshi's stomach for a fatal blow and said, "Fine, let's do it, one on one. We'll stab at each other and get it done!", and Senshi replied, "You may be my foe.. But I like ya. You've got the moves of a ninja killer..", then Senshi teleported away and turned back to the group, saying, "See you on the flipside.", before leaving.
## Now - Senshi's P.O.V - Third Training Ground ##
Senshi thought back to that battle with Unruly Ay as he stood there in the middle of the training ground during the night slashing away at reinforced shadow clones during a training session. That battle resulted in another flee on sight order from Kumogakure and the alias 'Fastest Ninja Alive'. The Third Ninja War had ended, with peace treaties occurring and then Minato became the Yondaime or Fourth Hokage. Minato had married Kushina, and she would be giving birth tonight. They had made safeguards to keep the Kyuubi inside Kushina. Now Senshi, who was wearing his standard Senju armor, trained with reinforced clones and after cutting one clone in half making it poof into smoke, he turned and dashed at another rushing clone while preparing to draw and slash the clone while shouting, "Youjinbo (Dancing Blade Risk)!", and he cut through the clone like a hot knife through butter, making it poof as well. Then more clones surrounded him and began forming Rasengans, but Senshi simply charged his blade with chakra and said, "Hadan (Rupture).", before turning and making a ring of cutting chakra that caused all the surrounding clones to poof into smoke from getting cut in half. Senshi was about to finish off the last clone when he suddenly heard the most bone-chilling, terrifying sound: the Kyuubi's roar. As the clone dispersed, Fune, who was in his Shoki Ryokin, asked, "What? How? I thought Kyuubi was supposed to be sealed in a jinchuriki?! Unless someone removed.. the seal..", as Senshi, realizing the implications, sheathed his sword and rushed toward the village, he thought, "But that's impossible! Kushina's seal broke, with all the safeguards?! With the ANBU and Minato-sensei there?! I have to get there, now!"
## In Konoha ##
When Senshi arrived in the village, he saw the Kyuubi's enormous figure with nine tails trailing behind it, or rather, him. The Kyuubi was really named Kurama. Senshi then noticed the Kyuubi's eyes, which had the signature Sharingan pattern, but with slits for pupils instead. Senshi thought, "An Uchiha's controlling Kurama?! I'll find out later.", then he saw Kurama about to fire a bijuu-dama (Tailed Beast Bomb/Ball) toward the Hokage Mountain, then Senshi saw Minato-sensei there and teleported to his sensei with the mark he placed on Minato. Senshi turned to the surprised Minato and asked, "What's happening?!", and Minato replied, "A masked man with a Sharingan kidnapped Kushina and took out the Kyuubi. He's using the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha!", then Kurama fired the bijuu-dama at them both and Senshi said, "I got this.", before activating his Mangekyo and looked at the approaching bijuu-dama before closing his left eye and shouting, "Kamui!", then Senshi's right eye bled before a portal was created which teleported the bijuu-dama away. Senshi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right eye as if someone stabbed him in the eye, and he fell to one knee, with a hand over his right eye. Minato turned to Senshi, concerned, and asked, "Are you okay?", then Senshi answered, "I'm fine. Let's go.", and Minato nodded. Minato then teleported and Senshi followed, both ending up in the forest facing a man with chains on his wrists, a mask with one hole for the right eye and spiky black hair. Senshi asked, "Who are you? What do you want?", and the masked man answered, "I am Uchiha Madara. I want to see Konoha razed to the ground with nothing left." Senshi, pissed off at this cold, heartless man who was definitely NOT Madara, shouted, "You aren't Madara, I know that, but why? Why attack Konoha?! Give me one good reason!", then the masked man said, "Konoha and the shinobi culture are the world's obstacles to peace, and so I am removing the first obstacle. It's a necessary sacrifice.", looking at Senshi with a Sharingan through the eyehole in the mask. Senshi shouted, "Grr! I'll TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!", but Minato stopped him and said, "I'll fight him.", then Senshi said, "Fine..", and relented. Minato smiled before rushing at the masked man. The masked man also rushed and then somehow phased through Minato and bound Minato with the chains on his wrists, but Minato just teleported to the kunai he had dropped beside Senshi. Senshi was shocked as he realized that the phase-through intangibility power was exactly the same as his Kamui, but then he made a hypothesis on how to perfectly counter it, but he had to test some variables first..
Senshi turned to Minato and said, "I can deal with this guy, you go seal the Kyuubi and help Kushina-san.", and Minato was about to protest, but Senshi noticed it and gave Minato-sensei a glare while saying, "Do it. You know me, I can handle it.", then Minato said, "Fine..", before disappearing in black lines with the Shunshin or Body Flicker Jutsu. Senshi then turned to his new foe and asked, "Junbi Wa Deki Taka (Are you ready)?", and before the masked man could reply, or even process the words, Senshi rushed forward at the speed of sound, creating a sonic boom, with his fist cocked behind his head and covered in a glove-like casing made of clumps of earth that were made out of only Senshi's chakra. As Senshi neared the masked man, he shouted, "Earth Style: Ishi no Tebukuro no Ken (Stone Glove Fist)!", before punching. However, the masked man simply phased through Senshi's attack and as Senshi was about to get bound by the chains, Senshi simply murmured, "Kamui.", as his right eye bled, and Senshi phased through the chains. Senshi then jumped back and thought to himself, "Okay, so he can de-materialize quickly cause I went the speed of sound. But does he have to materialize in order to absorb things, because if that ability is Kamui, which is possible since this guy has a Sharingan, then it must follow the mechanics. Alright, let's see..", then Senshi pulled a chainweight that had been modified to be a capturing hunting bola, but for ninja, out of his Kamui pocket dimension, where he stored a lot of stuff. Senshi then spun the makeshift bola over his head and shouted, "Catch!", before flinging the spinning hunter weapon at the masked man, who simply caught it before absorbing it into a portal, confirming Senshi's theory. Senshi thought, "Alright.. let's do this.", before creating a Kage Bunshin and making a Rasengan. Then Senshi did something no one expected. The clone drew Fune, whose Shoki Ryokin was still on, from his sheath and said, "Fune, release the bijuu chakra into the Rasengan, please. We need it.", before stabbing the tip of Fune into the Rasengan. Fune complied with his wielder's wishes and released the deadly chakra from his blade and into the Rasengan, turning the Rasengan into a purple, barely contained ball of negative and positive chakra. Because Senshi always had a shadow clone in his Kamui dimension, the clone was able to use Fune and absorb some of the teleported bijuu-dama's energy. Senshi strained to hold the bijuu chakra-infused Rasengan in his left hand, and formed the one-handed Shadow Clone hand seal with the other free hand, creating a shadow clone that threw a Hiraishin kunai before dispersing. The masked man and Senshi began rushing toward each other, Senshi pulling a short wakizashi from his Kamui dimension along the way and putting in his right hand. When they met, the kunai had phased through the masked man's head and was right behind the man. As Senshi was about to end up near enough to phase through the man, he planted the wakizashi into the ground and pushed off using the planted wakizashi and attempted a clockwise jumping spin kick. Senshi's foot phased through the masked man's head, but that was exactly what Senshi hoped for. As soon as the man grabbed Senshi's foot and said, "I win.", Senshi teleported behind the masked man and slammed the bijuu chakra-enhanced Rasengan into the masked man's back, shouting, "Rasen-Dama (Spiralling Ball/Bomb)!", and a giant explosion ensued, sending multiple megatons of focused explosive energy into the man's back. The masked man was able to survive by phasing through most of the explosion, but he was still hurt bad. Senshi left a Hiraishin seal on the man before moving back, giving the man some space. As the masked man got up, Senshi teleported to him, stabbed him in the gut with a triple-pronged kunai and placed a Contract Seal on the man. The masked man asked, "A Contract Seal? Are you trying to take Nine Tails from me?", and Senshi replied, "Kurama is not yours, nor will he ever be!", then Senshi took out the kunai and punched the masked man right in the face, sending him back. The man got up and said, "You may have beaten me today, but I will return!", before teleporting away.
Senshi thought on these words until he heard the sound of chains planting into the ground. He thought, "Kushina-san's Adamantine Sealing Chains.. I have to get to them!", then he used the Hiraishin seal he placed on Minato to teleport there. He saw Kushina on the ground with the newborn Naruto in a ritual bed, and a barrier set up by Kushina's Adamantine Chains. He saw the Kyuubi bound up in chains and trying to break free. He then turned to Minato and said, "The masked man's gone. He said he'll be back. What do we do?", then Minato said, "I will seal the Kyuubi in my son Naruto using the Eight Trigrams Seal.", and both Kushina and Senshi protested. Senshi said, "Why seal it within your son?! Why not within someone else?!", and Minato replied, "Because from what you told me, that man plans to destroy the world. And my son, the next Kyuubi jinchuriki will stop him.", and Senshi tried to protest, but Fune cut off Senshi and said, "That boy is him..", prompting Senshi to ask, "What do you mean by 'him?' Who is he?", and Fune answered, "It's Ashura. I can tell by the chakra." Senshi then decided to let Minato seal Kurama within Naruto, and Minato continued saying, "Furthermore, I will only seal the Yang half into my son. The Yin half, I will take with me to the grave, so at least half will be sealed away forever. Senshi, I trust you to watch over Naruto when we are gone, because I will use the strongest Fuinjutsu I know to split the Kyuubi into Yin and Yang, the Shiki Fujin or Reaper Death Seal!" All of them gasped and Kushina asked, "But why!? He's our son! That's why.. I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden!", then Minato said, "Preserve your chakra, because we'll see Naruto soon. I'll seal both of our remaining chakras into the seal so we can meet him for a short time.", and Kushina nodded. Minato then turned to me and said, "Nine Tails needs to be bound first. Can you help?", and Senshi replied, "Yes, I can.", before activating his Mangekyo and his ethereal golden Humanoid Susanoo manifested, and then Senshi went through hand seals while shouting, "Tiger -> Bird -> Ox -> Snake -> Dog -> Boar -> Hare -> Dragon -> Ram! Five Element Four Trigrams Binding Chains!!", before holding out his hand, from which tough, thick gold chakra chains sprouted and wrapped around Kurama as he fumed and tried to break free. As this was happening, Kushina asked, "Those chains.. huff.. look so much like mine..", and Senshi replied, "I based them off yours, Kushina-san.", making Kushina smile and think, "Minato really did teach Senshi a lot." The Susanoo grabbed onto the chains and thus ensued a tug of war between Senshi's powerhouse of a Susanoo and the strongest of the bijuu, the Kyuubi no Kitsune or Kurama. As the Susanoo pulled back, Kurama pulled with an equal amount of force, newton for newton. Suddenly, Kurama tugged with a new, sudden fierceness as he let out an ear-breaking roar, and the Susanoo would've toppled over if it weren't for the fact that Senshi activated the Armored stage. Suddenly, ghostly plates of armor clamped on to parts of the Susanoo. Feet, arms, legs, shoulders, knees, torso. But the helmet was a samurai one and there was a sword at the Susanoo's belt. Then Senshi shouted, "Minato-sensei! Take his Yin half with the Shiki Fujin, now!", and Minato snapped out of his shock and went through hand seals while shouting, "Snake -> Boar -> Ram -> Hare -> Dog -> Rat -> Bird -> Horse -> Snake!", before clapping and again shouting, "Fūinjutsu: Shiki Fujin (Sealing Technique: Dead Demon Consuming Seal/Reaper Death Seal)!", and the Shinigami, with a blade in his mouth and Minato's soul in his clutches, appeared behind Minato, who was in front of the ritual bed with Naruto. Minato then pushed his hands out toward the Kyuubi and the Shinigami's hand went through Minato, grabbed onto Kurama and pulled out its Yin half, causing it to shrink. The Yin half was sealed into Minato, leaving a mark on Minato's stomach and turning him numb from the sheer density of the Kyuubi's chakra. Kurama, now free from the chains, then got really mad, because he knew that Minato was going to seal him into the infant Naruto, so he decided to kill Minato right then and there. However, as Kurama's claw was about to impale Minato, Senshi, with his Mangekyo and Susanoo deactivated, pushed Minato out of the way and got impaled in his place. Kushina shouted, "NO!", and Minato shouted, "Senshi!", as the talon impaled Senshi, breaking through the Senju armor with ease, who shockingly smiled through the blood and the pain. Senshi had used an immense amount of chakra and would have had to wait for his chakra to refill before he could regenerate with his Yang Power. He had also cut off the chakra flow to his Yang Power so his other jutsu would be more effective. The more he thought back on it, the more he hated himself for his stupid mistake. In short, he couldn't use his regeneration because of how much chakra he used and that it wasn't even being fueled. Senshi said, "I guess.. this.. is it. See you soon.. Obito..", but then Senshi was suddenly pulled into the dark void of his mind again, this time by someone else.
## Senshi's Mindscape ##
Senshi looked around and saw Fune running toward him. Fune said, "Senshi, you can't just die! Konoha needs you. Yukari needs you." Senshi was shocked as he knew that him and Yukari were best friends, but he never knew she loved him that much. Senshi looked down in contemplation then back up at Sozo, his eyes filled with a new fierce determination and resolve to live, no matter what. Senshi asked, a new steel tone in his voice, "How do I stay alive? I'm impaled and out of chakra, so I can't regenerate. I need chakra, and you're all out from that training session, Fune." Fune thought about it, then said, "There is one way.. I could give you the full power of my Saishu Ryokin or my Final Charge all at once, but I'm not sure if your body could hold up to the pressure.", he finished, concern in his voice. Senshi said, "You're gonna have to give me the power so I can live, 'cause Kurama's chakra is leaking into me through my wound and poisoning me. Without chakra from you in order to activate my Yang Power and purge the toxic chakra from my body, I'm screwed." Fune nodded and said, "Alright, you just need to shout this: Niku De Arawareru, Kenryoku no Fune (Manifest In The Flesh, Vessel of Power)! Once you do, I'll be able to manifest and fuse with my blade form.", and Senshi asked, "Wait.. so this form and your blade are different?" Fune replied, "My conscience and mind lives in both forms, but this form has more power than the blade because of the uneven splitting of chakra between the two forms. On his deathbed, Hagoromo-sama split me into two so that in case I fell into the wrong hands, I wouldn't be at full power." Senshi replied, "Alright, let's do this. Thanks for everything, Fune.", before smiling at Fune and leaving the mindscape.
## Real World ##
Minato was in shock. Seeing Senshi impaled, poisoned and supposedly killed by the Kyuubi had horrified him, as Senshi had taken a lot of fatal hits and kept on fighting, even from potent poisons, but Minato soon realized that with the Kyuubi's poisonous bijuu chakra mixed into the wound, Senshi would actually die, and this brought grief to his mind. Suddenly, Senshi moved a slight bit, making the Kyuubi ask, "What?! How are you still alive?!", before seeing an unsheathed Sozo in Senshi's right hand and thinking, "No..! That can't be! Is that Father's.. sword!?" Minato asked, "Senshi?! How..?!", and Senshi simply said, "Get ready.", before pointing his sword up toward the heavens and saying, "Niku De Arawareru, Kenryoku no Fune (Manifest In The Flesh, Vessel of Power)." Suddenly everyone felt a burst of chakra and an ethereal man with snow white hair along with ink black eyes and hair who was wearing a long-sleeved white sage cloak with Six Paths symbols, tomoe and lines manifested as a humanoid before saying, "Ahh.. it feels good to be human again." Kurama shouted, "YOU!! FUNE!!" Fune replied, "Hello Kyuubi. Nice to see you again. Anyway, time for me to become whole again.", and Fune grabbed his blade form, which Senshi was still holding, letting loose a powerful flash of light as bright as a thousand stars and forcing the Kyuubi back a lot along with forcing Kurama to remove the claw from Senshi's chest. Once the light died down, the ethereal man was no more and Senshi was now different. Senshi's Senju armor disappeared and was gone, and Senshi was wearing the long-sleeved snow-white sage cloak of the ethereal man, his skin had a pale, almost snow-white complexion to match his cloak, the base of Fune's blade had a tomoe and the kanji for Six Paths engraved into the metal, and Fune was covered in an aura of blue chakra flames, from the gold pommel to the tip of the blade. Senshi looked up at the Kyuubi as Minato and Kushina, while the infant Naruto was still in the ritual bed, looked on in shock because of the fact that Senshi was taking on the Kyuubi alone, granted that it was only the Yang half, but still. Minato activated his sensing and was shocked because not only did the bijuu chakra disappear from his system, Senshi was back at full chakra. Minato thought, "How?! I know he was low on chakra when he got impaled, so how?", then he looked at the sword and thought, "Is it possible.. that the man.. that was there earlier.. gave Senshi some chakra?" Senshi then raised Fune, in his Saishu Ryokin, and shouted, "Say hello to Fune's new form, Saiko no Senpaku or Supreme Vessel of Power, the blade of the heavens." Kurama meanwhile, shouted, "I will not be sealed again, especially by an Uchiha masquerading as my Father and forcing Father's sword to his will with that vile Sharingan!", before making a large Bijuu-Dama (Tailed Beast Ball/Bomb) and compressing it into a jawbreaker or gumball-sized orb before biting down on it and holding it in his mouth. Kurama's face was yanked into the ground because of the Bijuu-Dama's density and, realizing what was going to happen once Kurama opens his mouth, Sozo shouted, "Senshi, he's going to fire a laser!!", and hearing this, Senshi bit his thumb to draw blood, then formed the Ram hand seal before shouting, "Kuchiyose: Asshuku Goju Rashomon (Compressed Quintuple Rashomon)!", and slamming his hand onto the ground. As Kurama opened his mouth and released a powerful bijuu chakra laser toward Senshi, five demon faced Rashomon gates popped up from the earth before compressing into one thick Rashomon gate wall. The bijuu chakra laser clashed against the thick Rashomon wall for a while, as Minato and Kushina looked on in astonishment, Minato thinking, "Senshi's taking on.. a bijuu?!" Suddenly, an explosion and a burst of smoke came from the point of collision between the bijuu chakra laser and the thick Rashomon gate wall. When the smoke cleared, all the gates except for the last one had a large hole in them because of the bijuu chakra laser. The Rashomon gate wall retracted back into the ground, and Kurama, furious, attempted to claw Senshi, Minato, Kushina and Naruto again, but Senshi held up Fune and shouted, "Chakura Shoheki o Keisei Suru, Saiko no Senpaku (Form a Chakra Barrier, Supreme Vessel of Power)!", and Fune released a giant wall of solidified chakra from his blade that came up and blocked the claw. Senshi then pushed Fune's blade toward the claw, and the shield pushed the claw back before dissipating. As the Kyuubi stumbled backward, Senshi pointed Sozo toward Kurama and shouted, "Kakucho Shite Tsukisasu, Saiko no Senpaku (Extend and Pierce, Supreme Vessel of Power)!", before channeling chakra into Fune's blade, causing it to quickly extend and pierce Kurama's shoulder at Mach 3 or thrice the speed of sound. Kurama howled in anger and pain before falling and hitting the ground as Senshi retracted the blade back to its normal nodachi blade length and then pointed it at Kurama again before shouting, "Watashi no Teki o Kusari De Shibari, Saiko no Senpaku (Bind My Foe With Chains, Supreme Vessel of Power)!", and chains of pure chakra burst from Fune and wrapped and bound Kurama, keeping the Kyuubi from doing anything. As Senshi walked up to Kurama's bound snout, Kurama asked, " Who.. are you?", and Senshi replied with compassion and understanding toward Kurama's hatred, "Do you not remember me, Kurama-kun?", and Kurama asked, "Father..?" Senshi smiled and said, "it's me, Kurama-kun.", then Kurama asked, "Why do you wish.. to seal me within.. that child?", then Senshi said, "You need to help him understand the world and his parents' choice, for he is the Child of Prophecy who will bring peace. He is Ashura's reincarnate.", then Kurama, having his doubts, used his chakra sensing and found that the little blond boy really was Ashura, before saying, "Okay, Father, you may seal me within the boy on one condition.", and Senshi asked, "What condition?" Kurama replied, "Open the gates to my seal when the boy is four years old. Not before because otherwise the villagers might try to kill him. And make sure to adopt him so you can help me explain.", and Senshi nodded. Kurama smiled, and Senshi turned to Minato and Kushina before saying, "Minato-sensei, Kushina-san, I'll seal your chakra into the Eight Trigrams Seal as well, so you can see your son again.", before Senshi performed the Ram hand seal. Minato smiled and said, "I'm proud that you were my student, Senshi...", and Kushina said, "Watch over my son, please.", making a tear trickle down Senshi's face as he pushed his hands toward Kurama and Naruto, and said, "Eight Trigrams Seal.", and there was a flash of light.
When the light died down, the Kyuubi was gone, Kushina and Minato were dead and collapsed, and Naruto now had the seal on his stomach. Senshi quickly bit his thumb, drawing blood, before slamming his hand on the ground and shouting, "Kuchiyose: Gama (Summoning: Toad)!", and a large cloud of smoke was made. When the smoke cleared, a small toad named Gerotora was there, and he asked, "Senshi-san, what do you want? What happened here?", and Senshi replied, "Gerotora, don't ask what happened here. Just take this and give it to Gamamaru-sama.", before pulling out a scroll with the key to Naruto's Eight Trigrams Seal and giving it to the toad and saying, "Tell Gamamaru-sama to keep that scroll safe.", to which Gerotora replied, "Okay, Senshi-san.", before departing. With tears in his eyes, Senshi walked to and picked up the baby Naruto and walked toward the village. He soon met the Sandaime, Hiruzen, who asked, "What happened? Where's the Kyuubi?", and Senshi, in a somber tone, said, "Minato-sensei and Kushina-san are dead. They sacrificed themselves to seal the Kyuubi within their child, who I am holding. His name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
