Madara watched as Kuro burns Orochimaru down to atoms. He didn't bother saving the snake, his interest lies to kuro's unique ability.
"Those powers again. I admit that beside Hashirama, you were also able to defeat me because of that. But now, it won't be the same. Do you think you can still dance Ito Kuro!?" Madara asked as he grins with confidence.
"Sigh. I shouldn't be risking my life like this. But yeah sure why not? Shoka Gijutsu.!" Dark blue flames ignited and covered Kuro's body and his blade. The temperature once again dropped by a few Celsius.
Boom!
A staff and a blade clashed and the two engaged in another bout. Normally any weapon weren't effective against a sage just like how Minato's special Kunai was destroyed by Obito. However, Kuro's frostfire that envelopes his blade isn't a simple element. As explained before, the power he unlocked was a combination of four elements. Namely fire chakra, yin chakra, yang chakra and sage chakra.
Sage chakra is the only power effective against a sage like Obito or Madara. This explains why kuro was able to exchange moves with Madara even though he's not receive any powers from sage of the six paths or trained a unique taijutsu like Gai which gives one incredible prowess in exchange for one's life. His kenjutsu and taijutsu has long since improved to be able to go toe to toe with the beast in front of him. His Shoka Gijutsu also isn't the normal ability he often uses as instead of a normal flame it's now frostfire that courses through him.
While the two was engaged in another exchange of taijutsu and kenjutsu/bojutsu as none of them seem to bother using any elemental powers or ninjutsu, well not counting kuro's fighting style ofcourse. In another dimension the incarnate of Indra and Ashura were listening to an old man.
Naruto and Sauke to be precise were being gifted by the sage of the six paths with tremendous power to be able to seal the now new sage Uchiha Madara who might brought forth Kaguya's return.
After they were bestowed of new powers in the real world.
Both youth opened their eyes in the real world afterwards, Naruto beside his father who transferred Kurama's other half to him and Sasuke who was being healed by Sakura.
The two immediately stood and excused themselves as they disappeared from their spot.
Tsunade with Itachi was now running with a group of elites as they head to where Madara was clashing with Kuro. Kakashi, Gai, Asuma, Ohnoki and Mei was with them. While the rest of the alliance were left behind to take care of the remaining members of the root. Orochimaru was killed but the jutsu wasn't undone so the zombies were still fighting but it was only a matter of time before they're all sealed.
"Hishodo!" Kuro thrusted his blade forward towards Madara which was blocked by the latter with his staff but right at this time he was suddenly kicked by two persons. One blond and dark haired youth. It was Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto's eyes had crossed pupils as his slit and toad eyes combined. He then activates Kurama's yellow chakra cloak and 6 Gudōdama was shown behind him. Sasuke's eyes pattern were the same as that of Madara, in both eyes he's got the rinnegan instead of only one, but this isn't the rinne-sharingan he got in the original plot that had tomoe in it's inner first and second line. The only catch now is that he's got 2 rinnegan eyes that was yellow in color as it integrated with sage chakra in the manner just like Kuro did.
"Good for the both of you to join in. And here I thought you guys are leaving everything in my hands." commented Kuro.
"Well sorry about that. We were talking to an old man just awhile ago and he gave us powers to defeat him ya know." Naruto replied. 'So they have already inherited it huh' Kuro thought as he took a glance at them.
"We finally caught up to you sensei." Sasuke grinned. 'Sure you did, you might have even surpassed me you damn incarnates! Must be nice being the main characters.' Kuro's reply in thought as he saw Sasuke's rinnegan which was both his eyes and it was yellow. Sigh,
Madara who was suddenly kicked was staring at the two newly arrived youths. 'So one has awakened the six path's senjutsu and the other awakened the rinnegan huh, but I have both so I'm still stronger technically. The only variable that's not within my calculation is him. His ability affects me even though i'm already a sage.'
"Looks like he's more interested in me than the both of you." Kuro commented as he could literally feel Madara's gaze.
"Sensei be careful, I can see another four of him." Sasuke warned
"You can see them? I can only feel them though" Naruto added
"And I, can see and feel them at the same time. Although their blurry and they feel feint, this must be because of my sensing ability and mangekyou." Kuro said smugly. 'And here I thought I didn't have any cheats when I came here for the first time'
"What??! That's unfair!" Naruto complained.
"As expected of sensei." Sasuke however has a different opinion. 'What the hell did I do for sasuke to be like this' Kuro was feeling guilty at sasuke new personality.
'One could see my limbo? the other could feel it. But... Ito Kuro could see and feel them?' Madara thought for a moment before he prepared himself to attack.
"He's coming!" Sasuke warned.
Madara's four limbos went straight towards Naruto and sasuke while the real one dashed towards Kuro.
"FrostFire Style: Moeru Nami.!" burning wave in the form of blue flames erupted towards the incoming Madara but a Gudoudama was utilised to block it easily and Madara went straight at Kuro.
"Setsuen!" Kuro's blue flame focused on his blade as he used it to slash at Madara. But just before the blade clashed with Madara's staff which the latter was planning to smash his blade with, Kuro disappears and ended up slashing one of the clones Madara created using limbo. He targeted the ones Sasuke was fighting. He didn't stop and immediately teleported once more slashed another one that Naruto was fighting.
Madara was caught off guard along with his limbo clones as Kuro was too fast for them to react but not enough for them to let Kuro continue further. As two limbo clones was destroyed in a single breath, the remaining ones immediately retreated as Madara was about to release a jutsu.
"Sage Art : Shadow Style Thunder Blast!" Madara's hands produced purple lightning as it headed towards the trio.
Sasuke immediately jumped forward to defend "Shinra Tensei.!"
The purple lightning was deflected away from them.
"Sage Art: Magnet Style Rasengan.!" Kuro grabbed Naruto's shoulder as he teleported him in the air on top of Madara. Naruto smashed the jutsu towards Madara as it began to seal him. But Madara used one of his clone as a substitute to get away.
Madara then flew into the air annoyed by Kuro and intending to open the rinne-sharingan by getting closer to the moon.
"Summoning Jutsu! 2x" Kuro and Sasuke summoned Cham and Red respectively to chase Madara. Naruto hitched a ride with sasuke as the three of them flew high up into the air.
However by the time they arrived near him Madara's forehead already awakened the rinne-sharingan and was starting to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Sasuke had a bad feeling about what Madara was doing and his gut tells him if they don't hide from it, it will all be over. Kuro also had a bad feeling about it, as he knows what it means.
As if both of them as was reading each other's mind. Sasuke began summoning the Susanoo and used it's wings to cover all of them both shinobi and summons alike. Kuro then teleported them back to the ground.
"And now! Everything shall become one." Madara casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi. All shinobi and humans alike around the Naruto world was put into a World scale Genjutsu. Madara began absorbing chakra from every human that was trapped in it.
Unknowingly the plant like remain of the Juubi which the flower on top was cut off awhile ago by Hashirama, Naruto and Sasuke began moving towards Madara. He didn't feel any hostile intent from it and accepted it all inside him.
Down below, five figures were inside a purple Susanoo as they waited until Infinite Tsukuyomi ends. Madara arrived before them as he now posses a power beyond what he imagined. Gone were his staff and limbo shadows. As he now levitates in the air without any effort.
When the group of five got out of Susanoo's shield they were shocked to see Madara waiting for them in the air. And the power they felt coming from him was off the charts.
"The world has ended. I have done it. You three are the only thing that stands in my way. Once all of you are gone, this world will finally be at peace." Madara declares.
'Hashirama, Can you see it? I have achieved what you couldn't!' Madara thought of his friend and their dream. He felt success was within his grasp. All that stands are three children that doesn't even come close to his power.
'And it happened, Kaguya power with Madara brain. This . . . is really bad' Kuro couldn't stop feeling nervous as a calamity was in front of him. And he will really die if he doesn't do something about it.
He doesn't even know how he got here. Why he got here. Were both of the memories that surfaced belong to him in his past life? If yes which one? Did he reincarnate twice already that's why he got two memories? and this is the third time he reincarnated but in Naruto's world. He couldn't even figure it out and yet here he is, with as high as a 95% rate of dying in the hands of a lunatic searching for peace but wants to control the whole world using a fairy tale dream from the stone tablet of their clan that was probably tapped by black Zetsu to facilitate Kaguya's return.
Both Naruto and Sasuke however weren't even a single nervous or afraid. Instead both had firm resolve to defeat and seal the enemy in front of them.
"Naruto, remember the seal that Old man gave us?" Sasuke asks as a black lunar shaped moon was shown in his palm while a white sun was shown on Naruto's. The latter nodded as both of them intends to seal Madara.
'You guys are really tenacious. How can I still call myself your sensei if I can't even steel my nerves and face the enemy like you guys do?' were Kuro's thoughts as he gripped Kubikiribōchō ever so tightly.
"I'll distract him. Both of you focus on sealing him." Kuro commanded.
"Yes sir 2x" replied both. Agreeing immediately.
Kuro took a deep breath as blue flames ignited again covering his whole body. His Mangekyou Sharingan fully activated. Thinking about it, this eyes helped him a lot on going toe to toe with the lunatic in front of him. Helping him develop his abilities in fighting in a very fast pace as he fought earlier.
'Kotoamatsukami, will it work against someone with rinnegan and rinne-sharingan?' Kuro thought as he prepares to cut Madara with Kubikiribōchō.
Before implanting shisui's eyes in him, Rylai's feather was used to empower Kuro's physique to be able to handle the eye's repercussions and he was even able to own the eyes as if it's his own. It's unique ability Kotoamatsukami when mangekyou was activated was even usable for him as long as he uses sage chakra as base of consumption upon using it. Unlike when it was on Itachi's hands, it can only be used once every decade.
"Here I go!" Kuro shouted as he disappeared from his spot. Slashing down, Kuro appeared behind Madara. The latter dodged it effortlessly by just turning to the side before the blade fell down.
Madara kicked him after dodging but Kuro disappeared again. Appearing a distance away, Kuro swings the blade sideways. As if to cut off Madara's head, Kuro appeared by Madara's side. But the blade was caught in Madara's left hand. Madara sent a punch with his right, Kuro avoided it by using the blade that was caught as support.
Kuro ignited his blue flames again in the blade while Madara was holding it and he slahed it shouting. "Moeru Nami.!"
Blue flames covered Madara but he wasn't a bit worried even as blue flames starts to freeze him.
