The wind blew and before anyone could blink, Naruto vanished from his spot and Obito was blocking a sword strike that was a few inches from taking his head off. If you were to look closely you could see that the impact from Naruto's attack had broken into Obito's staff he made. Naruto smirked and then with a pulse of chakra, Obito was hit in the face and sent flying back. Naruto capitalized on this and threw a sage powered lightning javelin that Obito barely had time to block.
Obito gathered himself and flew over towards Naruto aiming a strike at his head, but Naruto was easily able to dodge it. He grabbed Obito by his neck and choke slammed him into the ground, making Obito grunt in pain. Naruto smirked and then slammed a rasengan right into Obito's chest causing him to nearly scream in pain due to the grinding action of the rasengan. Obito quickly used a chakra arm to throw Naruto off of him and held his chest.
"You may have absorbed the ten tails, but you're still weak. I figured you out already. There's no way somebody that possesses the rinnegan should be getting beat this easily with all of the abilities it gives you. Other than sage jutsu, I know your other weakness." Naruto said
"I don't have any other weakness." Obito said
"Yeah. You do. You can't use the abilities that the rinnegan grants the user. I've talked with the nine tails a bit over the past year and he's told me quite a few interesting things about those eyes. It must take a lot of chakra for you to contain the ten tails. Also, those aren't your eyes. I'm guessing they belong to Madara Uchiha and that's why he's in such a rush to be brought back to life." Naruto said and Obito stayed silent
"Don't worry. You don't have to say anything. Your silence is the only answer I need." Naruto said and then Obito just released the ten tails
"What's he planning?" Naruto thought
"He spit out the ten tails!" Narumi said
"Be careful. This could be dangerous." Minato said
The ten tails started to look around a bit and then it's eye went inside of its body. The ten tails started to change as its arms, legs and tails all buried themselves in the ground and its back opened up then the ten tails suddenly turned into a tree that had the eye of the ten tails at the top. The roots from the tree started to absorb the chakra from everyone that it touched and Naruto quickly acted.
"Narumi! Help get everyone away from the tree. It absorbs their chakra!" Naruto said
"I'm on it!" Narumi said
"Kurama! Can you hear me?!" Naruto thought
"Yeah. Before you ask, that tree is the ten tails final form. It's called the divine tree. It's trying to take back the chakra since this is where it all originated from. If this tree is put into play then I fear two things are going to happen and we need to prevent both of them." Kurama said
"What would that be?" Naruto thought as he was getting people out of the way
"Obito and Madara must be trying to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The Infinite Tsukuyomi is a genjutsu that traps the entire world in an illusion, enslaving them in a dream so that their chakra may be drawn upon. To cast a genjutsu of this scale, the person who did this must have their rinne sharingan reflecting off of the moon." Kurama said
"What's the second thing you fear may happen?" Naruto thought
"Kaguya Otsutsuki, may be revived as well. We cannot let that happen. The tree must be destroyed before anyone can do anything. That however, is easier said than done." Kurama said
"If the tree feeds on chakra, we won't be able to do anything since it will sense our chakra and try to absorb it. Do you think Raven would be able to work?" Naruto thought
"Perhaps. She must have a spell that can destroy this tree while keeping it from reflecting its rinne sharingan off of the moon." Kurama said
"Thanks for the help." Naruto thought
"Make sure you get this done. I refuse to be absorbed and used as a tool to enslave the world." Kurama said and broke the link
"Raven! Can you hear me?!" Naruto thought
"I should kick your ass!" Raven replied
"We can worry about that later. For now I need to know if you have a spell that can destroy a gigantic chakra tree." Naruto thought
"A giant chakra tree?" Raven replied
"Can you do it or not?!" Naruto thought
"Now that I'm healed up yeah I should be able to do it." Raven replied
"Good. I'm bringing you and Starfire back to help us." Naruto thought
"Okay. I understand the spell I need to use. What exactly do you want me to do?" Raven replied
"No matter what happens, when the right moment comes when Madara and Obito are distracted, I need you to block off the moon from the eye on top of the divine tree and then use your spell to destroy it." Naruto thought
"What do you mean by no matter what happens?" Raven asked
"Listen I just need you to promise me that you'll take that tree down even if I'm hurt or nearly dying." Naruto thought
"I can't do that. You mean too much to me for me to just ignore you and get rid of some tree." Raven replied
"Dammit Raven! This isn't about me or us! It's about stopping these two and protecting the king! Please, just promise me that you'll do it or are you willing to sacrifice an entire dimension of people for one person?" Naruto thought and Raven didn't reply right away
"Okay. I promise I'll do it." Raven replied
"Thank you." Naruto thought
"Naruto, I swear if you die I'll find a way to bring you back and kill you myself." Raven said and Naruto chuckled
"I know you will." Naruto said out loud as he opened his portal and Raven came back with Starfire
"Friend Naruto. Why did you bring us back?" Starfire asked
"Because of that big ass tree. You and Raven will take it out at the right moment. Make sure you damage the eye on top. That will be your job, Starfire. Hit it with as many star bolts as you can until the eye is hidden." Naruto said
"Why can't we attack it now since the eye is closed?" Starfire asked
"Because Madara and Obito are still around and very aware of what's going on and they are keeping a close eye on the tree." Naruto said
"What will you be doing?" Raven asked
"Fighting." Naruto said and vanished
Narumi
Naruto found Narumi being held up by the third hokage and she wasn't doing too good. She was looking around at the dead bodies and couldn't hold back the tears of all her fallen comrades. Bodies were everywhere and all of them completely drained of chakra and life with a horrified expression stuck on their faces forever.
"Shinobi are all done for. There's no need to keep going. If you don't resist, I won't kill you and if you continue to stand against us, then you keep losing your friends one by one. This will become a world where no one who acknowledges you will exist. Regret will fill you unless you stop it." Obito said
"So if we do nothing, then we'll all be saved?" A random shinobi asked
"That's right. No more fearing death or enduring pain. You'll be entering a dream." Obito said
"Don't give up. If you're put under genjutsu then you're as good as dead." Hashirama's wood clone said
"This enormous tree is closely connected to Obito. It's like an extra limb for extracting chakra. We mustn't be careless." Hiruzen said
"Such words of weakness. How unlike you, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru said as he arrived on the battlefield
"Orochimaru. You're quite late and what of the five kage?" Hiruzen asked
"I saw to their healing. If they don't chicken out, they should be coming." Orochimaru said
"You're still sarcastic as ever." Hiruzen said
"Man that tree really is giant. Seeing it up close like this, I wonder how long it's gonna take to cut this down." Suigetsu said and Orochimaru looked at Naruto
"He seems to be in a foul mood. For someone who didn't like his village, he sure does seem aggravated." Orochimaru thought
Hashirama used a wood clone to relay the message that the divine tree will bloom in 15 minutes from what Madara told him. Obito was once again playing mind tricks on the allied shinobi forces and they were all starting to give up as a huge branch was coming towards them. They were nearly caught until Naruto used his Susanoo to cut through the branch.
"Narumi, are you throwing in the towel? Because I'm not. I never figured a hokage would give up so easily. Maybe you should just go home since you want to cry over someone's death instead of doing something about it. It is unbefitting of a member from the Uzumaki clan to kneel before an enemy. It took 3 nations to wipe out the clan, but you sit here kneeling like a weakling in front of one person. You do not deserve to have the name Uzumaki or represent our clan by wearing its symbol if that is how you are going to act when things get tough. How do you expect your comrades to fight while their leader is kneeling in front of one enemy? You disgust me." Naruto said
"That was a bit harsh." Raven thought
"Doesn't matter." Naruto replied and then Narumi entered sage tailed beast mode then everyone saw her feelings
Flashback
"Mom, am I the reason Naruto isn't here anymore?" Narumi asked
"What do you mean?" Kushina asked
"I mean, I was treating him like shit the entire time he was here and I don't even have a nice memory with him, only with Menma. Was me treating him like that the cause of him leaving?" Narumi asked
"I won't lie to you. You are a part of the reason he left, but not the main reason. He left because he couldn't take living in this village. All the praise and worship our family got was never given to him. He was always scorned and beaten by everyone in the village including us and that is what made him want to leave as well as find his only friend." Kushina said
"He doesn't have any friends though. Everyone in Konoha our age doesn't like him." Narumi said
"He has a friend, but she's not here. Do you remember when you were 5 years old and at the party we threw for you and Menma that there was a violet haired girl there?" Kushina asked
"Yeah. She refused to be my friend and didn't want to talk about girly stuff." Narumi said
"Her name is Raven and she's Naruto's closest friend. He left to go find her and figure something out about a prophecy about a demon coming to destroy the world." Kushina said
"After he finds her, will he come back?" Narumi asked
"I don't think so. He really loves his life over where he is right now and I wouldn't want him to give up his own happiness." Kushina said
"What about dad?" Narumi asked
"Minato, allowed Naruto to leave." Kushina said
"How did he feel after he left? I mean dad never really showed any emotion towards Naruto at all from what I can remember until we became genin." Narumi said
"The last thing Minato said to me before he died was that he regrets listening to Jiraiya about the stupid prophecy. All Minato ever wanted was a big family and him listening to Jiraiya destroyed his family. While you and Menma were getting everything you wanted and personal training, Minato was slowly forgetting about Naruto to the point that he didn't even remember him until the genin exams." Kushina said
"That's not true. Naruto was with us plenty of times. Like when we went on that picnic with granny Tsunade and pervy-sage." Narumi said
"He wasn't there. Naruto was at home with a very bad illness that nearly killed him. If it wasn't for Shizune, then Naruto would've died a long time ago." Kushina said
"I know he didn't get along with granny and pervy-sage, but did either of them even care about him?" Narumi asked
"I know Tsunade would try to spy on him in the village, but she would always lose him. Jiraiya just didn't care about him at all." Kushina said
"Did he really care about me or was it all about the prophecy?" Narumi asked
"Jiraiya did care about you, but him making sure the world is safe always came first when it came between his love for you and the world." Kushina said
"I just want him to come back home. I want to tell him I'm sorry for everything I did to him as a kid. All of the bullying, getting him in trouble, stealing his ninja tools or sabotaging them so he couldn't become better than me. Just everything." Narumi said
Scene change
"Mom! I did it! I did it!" Narumi said
"What did you do?" Kushina asked with a smirk
"I defeated Pain!" Narumi said
"I know. I even told Naruto about it." Kushina said and Narumi's face lit up
"What did he say?!" Narumi asked
"He didn't say anything, but as we were talking I saw a small amount of pride in his eyes." Kushina said and Narumi cheered
"Yes! I'll take it!" Narumi said
Scene change
"Granny Tsunade, can I ask you a question?" Narumi asked as they were standing on the hokage monument
"Go ahead." Tsunade
"What happens to a shinobi who was in the bingo book that hasn't been seen in a while?" Narumi asked
"Nothing. Unless there is proof that the person is dead he or she stays in the bingo book." Tsunade said
"What about a shinobi that committed crime in his own village during the reign of a previous Kage and then left the village? Would the new Kage be able to remove his name from the bingo book?" Narumi asked
"It depends on the crime and what the council votes." Tsunade said
"Let's say he or she killed a bunch of corrupt people who had a pretty high status in the village that were slowly ruining the village. Would it be easy or hard to remove him from the bingo book?" Narumi asked
"Once again it depends on the vote of the elders, the civilian council and shinobi council. Why?" Tsunade asked
"Because I want you to remove Naruto's name from the bingo book." Narumi said
"I don't know about that one, Narumi. He was personally put in the bingo book by the feudal lord. He killed off the previous civilian council except for Sakura's mom and he also killed an entire squad of anbu. Granted they were root anbu which is an illegally ran branch of anbu, but the village elders didn't tell that to the feudal lord when they sent him a letter on what he did. Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Tsunade asked
"Because I want him to come back to the village and be a family with me, Mito and mom. He's the only brother I have left and I figured that if he sees me doing all of this stuff for him that he'll come back eventually." Narumi said
"I thought you didn't like your brother." Tsunade said
"I don't. Well, I didn't. It's just that I've had some time to think recently and after talking with my mom a bit I realized how much of a bitch I was to him." Narumi
Flashback end
Narumi's feelings seemed to give some people a reason to keep fighting and the feeling of seriousness was in the air. Narumi looked around at all of her fallen comrades and wiped her tears away as she stood up.
"I have something to protect as well. He's right. I was kneeling down like a weakling and giving the Uzumaki clan a bad name. Mom, I swear I'll bring him back. First things first, I have to defeat this clown in front of me." Narumi thought and then quickly ran up to stand next to Naruto
"Naruto, I'm coming with you." Narumi said
"Hm. It's about damn time." Naruto said
"Narumi Uzumaki. Again you stand before me." Obito said
"Narumi, Naruto. We're all counting on you." Minato thought
"This is something I never thought would happen." Kushina said
"What? A war being led by two people and 7 gigantic beasts?" Raven asked
"No. Naruto and Narumi standing side by side." Kushina said
"Hey, Naruto. You do remember that only sage jutsu works on him, don't you?" Narumi asked
"I should be asking you that. Don't worry. I can infuse my Susanoo with the remaining nature chakra I have left." Naruto said
Naruto released the sage jutsu into the humanoid version of his Susanoo and it started to change a bit. The Susanoo gained a snake-like necklace and the hilt on its sword turned into a snake design.
"Hey look, lord Orochimaru. I thought snakes were your thing." Suigetsu said
"It appears after the civil war was over, the snake clan had chosen Naruto as its new summoner. His mastery over sage mode is simply astonishing. He's been able to use the Susanoo for a very long time. It's not really a surprise that he can effortlessly combine the powers of sage jutsu and the sharingan abilities together. I guess you can call it a sage jutsu Susanoo." Orochimaru said
"Naruto Uzumaki. He has the Uchiha blood in him and shows the same potential Madara once did, but on an even greater scale. I can tell now that you have surpassed elder brother, but you're holding back for some reason." Tobirama thought
"Naruto, your power is unlike that of anything I have ever seen. Even better than anybody I have experimented on. I can tell that it hasn't even come close to its limits. Perhaps I should have gone after you instead of Sasuke in the forest of death. I know, my gut tells me that you are the only Uchiha that was able to surpass Madara." Orochimaru thought
"Narumi Uzumaki. You remind me so much of my elder brother. You're a foolish, naive brat and you shout idealism's at the top of your voice and yet, everyone wants to depend on you." Tobirama thought
"Let's go, Narumi." Naruto said
"Right!" Narumi said and they both ran at Obito
"It'll be too late for regrets. Not that either one of you has a future." Obito said and created a weapon from his orbs before flying at Naruto and Narumi
"Back then I had a dream that sometime in the future, there will become a time when shinobi will come together and help each other with one heart regardless of their village affiliation. That was and still is my dream of the future." Hashirama's wood clone said
"Seems like our generation no longer needs to talk about that dream because it's happening right before our very eyes. Am I wrong?" Ay asked
"No, you're not." Mei said
"That goes without saying. However, if we don't win here, then it won't come to be." Ōnoki said
"The Tsuchikage is right. Defeat is not an option." Gaara said
"Let's spread out and take command then. We'll draw out the allied shinobi forces greatest power. That is our duty as the five Kage." Tsunade said and they all sprang into action
As the five Kage were about to do their job, Naruto and Narumi were both fighting Obito still and explosions could be heard all around. Obito flew out of the smoke with Naruto and Narumi right on his heels. Narumi prepared a tailed beast bomb and Naruto got his Susanoo ready to attack.
"Naruto." Narumi said
"I know. I'll sync up." Naruto said and they both fired their attacks at Obito who used his orbs to protect himself resulting in a hug explosion
"Incredible." Kiba said
"What just happened?" Sai asked
"Naruto and Narumi are attacking as one." Hinata said with her Byakugan activated
"Did they do it?" Shino asked
"No. Obito is still there. He used those orbs to protect himself again." Kushina said
"She's right. He protected himself at the last minute." Raven said
"Raven? How did you get back?" Kushina asked
"Naruto brought me and Starfire back. We have a plan to take down that tree, but now isn't the time to start our plan yet." Raven said
"How did he contact you though?" Kushina asked
"Me and Naruto share a special kind of bond. We can contact each other anywhere no matter the distance between us." Raven said
"I see. Does it have anything to do with the headband you're wearing?" Kushina asked
"Something like that." Raven said and then they saw Narumi and Naruto land on the ground
"Of course he survived." Narumi said as the smoke cleared and Obito was unharmed
"Don't lose focus." Naruto said
"Right." Narumi said
"You better be prepared." Obito said and then Narumi started to unconsciously use her chakra to heal Shikamaru who was nearly dead from the shinju tree
"Come on!" Narumi said as she and Naruto both launched another combined attack at Obito who protected himself
"Hmm. I'll have to shift to a more offensive form." Obito thought, as he watched the allied shinobi forces attack the tree
Suddenly he had to dodge out of the way from Naruto's Susanoo that tried to knock him down with its sword. Narumi tried to catch him off guard and Obito dodged that as well. As this was going on, Naruto and Narumi found it easier to track his high speed movements that were enhanced because of him behind absorbing the ten tails. They found the right moment to attack and when they did, Obito blocked both of their attacks by using his orbs as a shield.
"It's about time you both go to sleep." Obito said
"Sorry, but I'm not tired." Naruto said sarcastically
"Now, I'll guide you to a dream. There's no time left." Obito said
He grabbed both of them with his orbs that he shifted into giant hands and then slammed both of them into the ground blowing everything in the surrounding area away due to the shockwave.
"Are you okay?" Raven thought
"I was just slammed from over a hundred feet in the air. What do you think?" Naruto thought as he was laying on the ground
"Why do you get up? What exactly are you fighting for? For your comrades or do you fight for this world? Listen, your comrades will eventually betray you. They've already betrayed your brother in the past forcing him to leave the village. This world transforms love into hatred. You should know, Naruto. You've experienced it. The people of the leaf village betrayed you in the past. For you, Narumi. Jiraiya's love conferred hate upon you. You two and I are all the same. Cumulating anguish and pain will change your mind and very soon even more pain and suffering shall assault you. How can you claim you will never change because of it?! You don't know when comrades might betray you or if the allied forces will go back to fighting each other. You don't even know if you can defeat me right now." Obito said
"I could've been defeated your ass, but you have something that I need for my future plans and I want them. If I were to kill you that would mean I kill the tailed beasts as well. Don't worry though. Once I get what I need from you, I'll personally stab a Chidori through you like Kakashi did to your precious Rin." Naruto said
"You should watch what you say to me about Rin. It can get you killed." Obito said
"You've had plenty of chances to kill me. When we fought I left you plenty of openings to kill me, but you didn't. Apparently you can't directly kill anybody unless you have a mask on. You're pathetic." Naruto said
"It amuses me that after everything you've been through you still continue to fight for them. You should have no reason to continue to fight for a world as pathetic as this. No matter. It's coming to an end in a few minutes. So why do you two keep on fighting?!" Obito asked and they both stood up
"Because it's my ninja way passed down to me from my brother, Menma. No matter what, I never go back on my word. That is and will always be my ninja way." Narumi said
"I thought I told you to go to sleep." Obito said
"We aren't tired." Naruto said sarcastically and stood next to Narumi who entered her tailed beast state
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Narumi asked
"Let's end it with our next attack, Narumi." Naruto said as he activated his Susanoo and started to merge it with Kurama
"Wait I know that technique." Hashirama said
"I believe this is what Madara did before didn't he?" Naruto asked
"Nothing you try now will change anything. Look above you. What do you see through the hole at the top? The moon. The time to enter the dream world draws near. It'll finally be time for the dreams of the moon to completely bury this gaping hole of hell! This sword is the sage of six paths divine blade! You can no longer defeat me. Your strong emotions dwell within it. This sword of the soul. The sage of six paths created the world using this blade." Obito said
"Raven, make sure Starfire remembers the plan." Naruto thought
"She does. I can tell this next attack will do some damage, but the other guy is still around. We'll wait a bit longer before we attack." Raven replied
"I will vanquish all of you. No matter how much you resist, it's pointless. The power of the sage will stop you." Obito said
"Naruto, let's focus everything on a single blow. I think we'll only have a small window to strike. Let's not miss it." Narumi said
"Make sure you put enough power into your attack. I'm still channeling as much nature chakra I can and I'm putting all of it into the sword." Naruto said
"I will." Narumi said and a rasengan formed in each of Kurama's tails.
"I'll use this sword to obliterate this whole world!" Obito said
Kurama roared as Ino, Lee, Shino, Sai, Kiba, TenTen, Choji, Hinata and Shikamaru jumped into the hole and into one of Kurama's tails with a rasengan. Each of them were given a chakra mode cloak. Each of them rushed forwards with their rasengans towards Obito who used a shield he created to block them, but fell right into their trap. The rasengans weakened the shield, then Naruto and Narumi rushed forward with the Susanoo's sword and attacked Obito who tried to counter with his own, but lost and was sliced through his side. All of a sudden, all of the tailed beasts inside of Obito started to fight their way out of him.
"Like we thought. Their chakra reacted to the chakra they gave you earlier so we could pull out his tailed beast chakra in one shot, but this stunt wouldn't have worked if the other tailed beasts hadn't liked you and shared their chakra." Kurama said to Narumi
"I guess I should thank them again." Narumi thought
"Narumi, you really are special." Kurama thought
"Go now!" Narumi said
She used the tailed beast chakra inside of her to form a rope for the chakra inside of Obito and pull it out, but she didn't have the chakra for the one and eight tails, so Gaara and killer B helped out along with the allied shinobi forces. Kushina also used her chakra chains and helped pull the chakra from Obito. They managed to pull the tailed beasts out of Obito once despite him trying his hardest to resist and Obito lost his jinchuriki form then fell to the ground.
"Well, it looks like you kept your promise, Narumi Uzumaki. I have to say, I'm impressed that they actually rescued us." Son Goku said
"We were lucky." Chomei said
"She did it." Saiken said
"Yes excellent." Kokuo said
"You're right." Matatabi said
"I'm glad." Isobu said
"Hmm. aren't they those kids from back then?" Shukaku thought and had a flashback to the chunin exams then Naruto took off at a full sprint towards Obito with his sword out
"Hey! Wait! Hold on, Naruto!" Narumi said and ran after him, but they were stopped when the kamui vortex appeared again as kakashi came out and landed on Obito with a kunai ready to kill him
"Naruto, I promise we'll talk later. I apologize for appearing so suddenly. I was once his classmate and friend so please, let me take responsibility for him." Kakashi ssid
"Fine. However, if this comes back to bite us in the ass then when this is over the results won't be pretty." Naruto said and when Kakashi went to kill Obito he was grabbed by Minato
"Obito, when we played chakra tug of war, just now I got to see the inside of your heart. It looked like Narumi nagged and lectured you quite a bit. Something that she seems to have inherited from her mother. I could tell you two were talking through your eyes." Minato said
"What the hell are you doing?" Naruto asked
"I just want to talk to him." Minato said
"We're in the middle of a war and you want to talk to him because he had a sudden change of heart? Sorry, but that doesn't work for me. This bastard nearly killed my mother and ruined my life. The time for talking is over with." Naruto said
"Just let me talk to him. He's dying anyway." Minato said
"Naruto, he isn't dying. He'll survive the extraction because he's still linked to the gedo statue. It contains a lot of life force." Kurama said
"Are you sure?" Naruto asked
"Positive." Kurama said
"This is ridiculous. I'll tell you something interesting that Kurama just told me. He won't die from the extraction because he's still linked to the gedo statue." Naruto said
"I was hoping he would atone for all of his past misdeeds, but if he can't move it can't be helped. You just lie there, okay? Sensei, please keep an eye on Obito." Kakashi said and when he walked away Obito did a hand sign
"What are you doing?" Minato asked
"What the same man I tried to use did to betray me." Obito said
"No way." Kakashi said
"Although, I never imagined that I would end up doing the same thing. I'll use the gedo art of rinne rebirth." Obito said
"But that jutsu will result in your death." Kakashi said
"It seems to be a jutsu that trades life for life." Minato thought
"I feel as though now I can finally understand. Nagato betrayed me back then. A string of hearts strung together like prayer beads can be a strong power as well. Both Nagato and Narumi were Jiraiya's students although it could be said that Jiraiya defeated me. Sensei, he was also your teacher and the one who groomed you to become hokage. Then I was your student. A shinobi who gave up on becoming hokage and cut all his ties. I guess I won't have much to say to Rin on the other side." Obito said
"Are you really sure about this? You could live and atone for your sins you know." Kakashi said
"No. That path would be the easy way out." Obito said and then a black hand came from the ground and sunk its way into Obito's body
"This time, I'll be helping you out. Sorry Obito, but this is the whole reason I was stuck onto you in the first place." Black Zetsu said
"Black Zetsu." Obito said struggling
"See, if you would've let me kill him earlier, this wouldn't be happening. It's almost as if you want to make things more difficult." Naruto said
Art of rinne-rebirth
Black Zetsu used this jutsu and fully revived Madara Uchiha who was anxious to get back to life, claim the tailed beasts and finally start fighting for real. One thing that did happen is Madara's eyes crumbled away, but that's because he needed his real eyes now. All of a sudden he was set on fire with the flames of Amaterasu.
"Ancient relics of the past should butt out." Naruto said as he came flying in on a summoning bird
"You are only a brat. No where near my level and you stole my line you foolish child." Madara said
"I know. I've already surpassed your level." Naruto said
"Wait, Naruto! It's pointless to just throw attacks at this guy. He has the power to absorb ninjutsu!" Narumi said
"Then I guess I'll have to kick his ass with taijutsu and kenjutsu then." Naruto said
"Great. His Uzumaki genes are kicking in." Narumi mumbled
"It's these opposites operating together that give rise to all things in this universe. Hashirama, do you remember me saying that long ago? Standing in front of the Uchiha stone tablet. You said it means that true happiness can be found when two opposites, two contrary powers cooperate. I told you it could also be interpreted differently." Madara said
"What's that?" Hashirama asked
"That the person who obtains the power of both Uchiha and the Senju would be able to obtain true happiness. Don't you think it could be interpreted that way as well, Hashirama?" Madara asked
"That's a bunch of bullshit. If you were truly happy then you would've died in peace instead of coming back to life to place the world in an unbreakable genjutsu. You're just a lonely and miserable relic that can't let go of the past. You try to spread your idealism to other people by force. You're just like the other dead Uchiha clan members. All you want is war and to rule everything you touch. I have both Senju and Uchiha blood running through my veins, yet you don't see me trying to rule the world." Naruto said
"Did you just throw in a subtle blind joke?" Madara asked
"Maybe. Maybe not." Naruto said
"Regardless of what you say, the infinite tsukuyomi will happen and then everyone will know true happiness." Madara said
"True happiness isn't something you force on to somebody. Everyone must find their own true happiness." Naruto said
"Does it really matter what kind of happiness it is that somebody is experiencing?" Madara asked
"Yeah. You intend to enslave everyone for your own selfish desires and your version of true peace." Naruto said
"You've been doing a lot of plotting since leaving the village." Hashirama said
"No. It's something my subordinates comrade came up with simply by chance. Apparently there was another fellow who thought quite a lot like me. However, my coming back to life as I've now done has gone exactly according to plan!" Madara said and then did a hand sign that kept Hashirama from moving
"I can't move." Hashirama thought and then Madara took out sai and Narumi by kicking them away before grabbing Hashirama by his neck to absorb nature chakra from him
"Of course it happened a bit out of order, but oh well. So this is sage chakra. That's it huh? That's really all there is to it. This will be easy enough to control." Madara said
"Now that you're back alive, this gives us the perfect chance to kill you and send you back to the afterlife. You'll regret that you're still not a reanimation as you go to your death." Naruto said as he was trying to hit madara, but he kept dodging thanks to sage mode and when he finally had him Madara redirected the blade and was stabbed through his arm instead
"I can sense it. Your Mangekyou. Choku-tomoe. No wonder you have good moves. It might not be a bad idea for me to take your eyes until I get my rinnegan back. Although, with an eye like that, killing you would be such a waste. How about putting your blade down and joining up with me as a fellow surviving Uchiha?" Madara asked
"In my mind you're nothing, but a dead man. I was never raised as an Uchiha, so I'll have to decline your offer." Naruto said
"Very well then, but either way you don't have a whole lot of time left." Madara said and inhaled
Fire style: hiding in ash jutsu
Madara created a cloud of ash and then seemingly vanished from sight. He attacked the allied shinobi forces and started to absorb chakra from one of them to heal his stab wound and then set his sights on the tailed beasts.
"Naruto, we need to make sure that tree is destroyed." Kurama said
"I know. Raven and Starfire can handle that. You seem more agitated for some reason. What gives?" Naruto thought
"I just realized that nearly everything is set for Kaguya Otsutsuki to return. Black Zetsu is around and I remember the old man telling us something about him being her will or something. All of the tailed beasts are around just not sealed into the gedo statue. The only thing that needs to happen is the infinite tsukuyomi to happen. She requires a huge amount of chakra from all over the world and we know the shinju tree absorbs chakra. It's obvious what will happen if everyone around the world is captured by the infinite tsukuyomi." Kurama said
"Shit. I just need for Madara and black Zetsu to go away so Raven and Starfire can destroy the tree. I have a plan, but you won't like it." Naruto thought
"What's the plan?" Kurama asked
"I need you to get captured." Naruto thought
"I'm sorry. It sounded like you said you wanted me to get absorbed into the gedo statue." Kurama said
"It is. I need you to get sealed away. No doubt Madara will begin sealing all of you away. I need for you to get captured and then I'll need my mom and sakura for the next part." Naruto thought
"You idiot! Once Madara extracts me out from Narumi she'll die! The only way for her to survive is if the other half of me was sealed into her immediately after, but we don't know where my other half is." Kurama said
"I know where the other half is. Call it planning ahead. Will you go along with it?" Naruto thought
"It's not like we have anything better. Do I tell Narumi?" Kurama asked
"No. This stays between me and you. I'll tell my mom, but that's it." Naruto thought
"Very well. This better work or I'll find a way to escape and then kill you." Kurama said and cut the link as Naruto vanished next to Kushina
"Naruto? What are you doing over here?" Kushina asked
"Do you still have that seal I gave you before I left?" Naruto asked
"Yes. I never let it out of my sight." Kushina said
"Good. The time for using that is coming up. You'll know when Madara makes his move. Raven, Starfire get ready because your chance will be coming up soon. Sakura, you're gonna be needed as well. Things are about to get ugly." Naruto said
"What's going on?" Raven asked and Naruto turned away from her
"The real fight is about to begin." Naruto said and vanished
"Alright you heard him. We need to stay together and wait for the right moment." Kushina said
"Perhaps it would be best if we went to help them. Friend Naruto will require assistance." Starfire said
"He'll be fine. He's the strongest person here so we don't have to worry about him." Kushina said
"He'll survive." Raven said
"How can you be so sure?" Sakura asked
"Because he knows if he dies that I'll bring him back to life and kill him myself." Raven said
"So will I." Kushina said
"So, Raven this is the first time I've seen you and talked to you in person." Sakura said
"So." Raven said
"Umm. Maybe sometime after this war is over me, you, Starfire, Narumi, Ino, Hinata and TenTen can get together for a bit of girl time." Sakura said and Raven flinched a bit
"Oh I hate girl time." Raven thought
"That is a wonderful idea! We can do the makeup and painting of the finger and toe-nails!" Starfire said
Battle area
"Now, for my next plan of action I'll be taking control of all of you filthy beasts." Madara said and then jumped right at Shukaku
"Shukaku, get ready." Gaara said
"Way ahead of you. Let's get wild." Shukaku said
Wind style: Sand Bomb Salvo
Gaara created compressed sand bullet-like particles in the air and the Shukaku expelled a huge gust of wind from his stomach creating a large sandstorm of bullets at Madara and pierced his skin while also sending him flying away.
"Nice jutsu, but it still lacks finishing power!" Madara said
He went right back to Shukaku, but then Gaara used the sand that was inside of Madara to stop his movements. Matatabi came in, smacked Madara away with her paw and then Isobu came rolling in, crashing into Madara sending him bouncing off the ground. Son Goku punched Madara sending him flying towards Kokuo who head butted Madara into the air then Chomei smacked Madara down into some of Saikens slime.
"Alright, Shukaku." Gaara said
Grand sand mausoleum seal
Shukaku used its body to form a pyramid around Madara who tried to escape, but was still suffering from the effects of the sand bomb salvo. Shukaku powered the seal with the juinjutsu that is across his body. Their victory was short-lived however when Madara came bursting out of the seal with his Susanoo.
"I'll be putting collars on you shortly. Not one of you will escape." Madara said
"I won't let you!" Narumi said and came charging in at Madara in tailed beast mode smacking Madara to the ground while still in his Susanoo
"None of us will fall prisoner to you. Especially not me." Kurama said
"Sorry we're late. We were helping with the injured." Gyuki said
"Do not worry. There shouldn't be any more casualties now. It's the endgame." Matatabi said
"Right. Stack tails." Kurama said
All of the tailed beasts smacked Madara with their tails. All they managed to do was rip Madaras arm off and he came flying out of the smoke they created.
"He's a persistent bastard." Son Goku said
"Yes, but he has taken damage." Matatabi said
"Okay! One more blast!" Narumi said
"Please forgive my tardiness, lord Madara." White Zetsu said as it came from the ground
"Finally." Madara said
"Hey. It's that Zetsu guy." Narumi said
"He's back up?" Gaara asked
"What's he doing here?" Narumi asked
"Well, do you have it?" Madara asked
"Yes, of course." Zetsu said holding out his arm and Madara cut it off replacing his missing limb with it, then proceeded to place something in his eye that was revealed to be one of his rinnegan eyes
"Now things will start becoming a bit more fun. This taste of blood. This pain. It's my body alright. Finally! I can fully experience battle again!" Madara said and then smeared blood on his palm making Kurama gasp
"What's wrong, Kurama?" Narumi asked
"That blood. It's bringing back bad memories. That repulsive blood that summoned me before." Kurama said
"Dont cower with you tails between your legs you dumb fox." Shukaku said
"If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate him." Kurama said
"This really isn't like you. I don't like it." Shukaku said
Summoning jutsu
Madara did this and summoned the gedo statue that was inside of Obito. Kakashi tried to use the kamui, but only managed to take out one of its arms.
"The right arm has been wrenched off. It seems there is still someone over there with nice eyes. Well that's no problem and now, I've a little pen for them all. All I need to do is shove them in there." Madara said
"He's able to summon that thing even with a fake reanimation rinnegan." Son Goku said
"Take a closer look at him. He's bleeding and barring wounds. So he isn't a reanimation anymore. Most likely he possesses a real rinnegan." Matatabi said
"How did he come back to life?" Chomei asked
"No way. Madara used Obito to do the rinne-rebirth jutsu." Narumi said
"It's going to take a little longer for the left eye." Madara said
"Looks like it. Although this could take some time too." Zetsu said
"Don't compare me to that brat who took years to retrieve those pets." Madara said
"But you're covered in blood." Zetsu said
"Knowing that I possess Hashirama's healing powers, might cause me to fight with a little less refinement. I shall proceed carefully. If I use the rinnegans true powers, we shall see one intriguing battle. This will be quick. Now, observe closely." Madara said and jumped on top of the gedo statue
Limbo: hengoku
"He might try something. So watch out." Matatabi said and right after she said that all of the tailed beasts were knocked away by something invisible.
"What the hell was that?!" Narumi asked
"That ought to have tamed you all a bit. Now I shall go ahead and put collars on you all." Madara said and then chains came out of the mouth on the ten tails then wrapped around the necks of all the tailed beasts
"Now, I shall rip the eight and nine tails right out of their jinchuriki." Madara said and started to pull
"Dammit!" Kurama said
"That's right. If I could just undo the Kurama mode then I should be fine." Narumi thought and tried to leave her tailed beast state
"It's useless. Once I have them I'm not letting go." Madara said
"It's no good. Kurama's not going back inside me." Narumi thought and then she was beginning to get pulled out of Kurama
"You bastard! I'm not letting you take Kurama from me!" Narumi said
"You're right. Looks like this will take longer than I expected. So then, let's start with them." Madara said and tried to pull in Shukaku
"You can't have Shukaku." Gaara said and used his desert hands jutsu to hold the chain wrapped around Shukaku
"Gaara, don't lose!" Narumi said
"I know. Losing is not an option." Gaara said and the the chains broke Gaara's jutsu and began to pull all of the tailed beasts into the statue
"Hey, kid. Kazekage, do me a favor. Take Narumi to her mother and the pink haired medic. You got that, Gaara?" Kurama asked and Narumi was separated from Kurama so Gaara used his sand to catch her and watched as all of the tailed beasts were sealed inside the gedo statue
"Well, I guess I can't expect more with my current strength." Madara said and then dodged an attack from Tobirama then stabbed him with black rods in his back keeping him from moving
"It's your M.O to strike when your opponent is sure of victory. Making the brats do all the hard work. You haven't changed at all. You're still a delegator aren't you, Tobirama?" Madara asked
"The same goes for you." Tobirama said
"But the heavens are smiling on me right now. Look at you. The one who was touted as the fastest shinobi ever. There's a reason why you two brothers cannot regain your full power and I've got the upper hand right now. That and some new eyes are ripening as well. Though it is unclear which side they'll end up on." Madara said talking about Naruto's sharingan and then stabbed another black rod in Tobirama
To be honest, I've wanted to do this to you for a very long time now. Since you're the one who killed Izuna, but you're just a moving corpse so it's hardly fulfilling." Madara said and then Naruto landed behind him
"You're no match for him, Naruto. Get away while you can." Tobirama said
"Trying to sneak up on me are you? That is just wrong. I expected something like that from Tobirama, but not from another Uchiha clansman." Madara said and Naruto just looked at him
"I wasn't sneaking up on you. I'd rather face you like a man." Naruto said
"Foolish of you to think that you could even hold a candle to me. However, if you want to dance, then by all means, let's dance." Madara said
"I have no problem doing that. After this is over, I'll be taking that eye of yours along with the other one that Uchiha runt has in his left eye socket." Naruto said
"What could he want the rinnegan for?" Tobirama thought
"You have the blood of the Senju and Uchiha clan running in your veins. My eyes wouldn't be needed. You can simply get them naturally like I did." Madara said
"If your eyes were natural then you wouldn't be a full blooded Uchiha now would you? Given from the face on your chest and how easily you attached that zetsu arm to your body, you somehow managed to get some of Hashirama's DNA and implanted it into your body resulting in your current look. Shortly after that you awakened the rinnegan. Am I wrong?" Naruto asked
"Your skills at uncovering something is quite impressive for a brat your age. However, you are the most dangerous opponent here for me and you can be a burden to me more than you already are. I guess I'll have to take you out first." Madara said and when Naruto got ready to attack, he heard an unfamiliar voice in his head
"It is time we spoke, my child." A strange voice said
"Who the hell was that?" Naruto thought and in the small second Madara grabbed Naruto's sword then stabbed him through the chest
"In order to protect something, something else must get sacrificed. Be they a close friend, a sibling, or even if they were my very own child. Honestly, I gave you plenty of time and I even warned you that you didn't have a whole lot left. How unfortunate. An Uchiha with your potential could have easily been my right hand man." Madara said
"Sorry, but I've seen how you treat your right hand man. I think I'll pass." Naruto said
"You're such an ignorant child. Stubborn to the bone." Madara said
"What can I say? I am an Uzumaki after all. We're naturally stubborn. Deal with it, bitch." Naruto said
Madara threw Naruto off to the ground and just walked away from him. Naruto felt paralyzed and couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried. His healing ability wasn't working for some reason and he was bleeding out. He just watched as Madara absorbed the ten tails and became the new ten tails jinchuriki.
"I may not be able to move and I'm slowly bleeding out, but I can still use my chakra." Naruto thought and activated his Mangekyou sharingan
"Now I just need to wait for the right moment to give them sometime to carry out the plan." Naruto said and after a while he saw his chance and used the kamui to absorb Madara into his pocket dimension before he passed out
Raven
"Something's wrong." Raven said
"What do you mean?" Kushina asked
"I can't contact Naruto like I usually do." Raven said and when she looked at her finger the Uzumaki symbol was slowly fading away
"What's going on with that symbol on your finger? Why is it the Uzumaki swirl? What aren't you telling me?" Kushina asked and Raven sighed
"We're married." Raven said
"What?!" Kushina asked
"We've known for a year, but never told anyone. I just want to know why it's fading. The only thing I can think of is something I'd rather not think about." Raven said
"He's dying." Gaara said as he arrived high Narumi on his sand
"Don't say that." Raven said
"It's true. I flew past him and Madara on my way here. He was stabbed through his heart. Something happened and Naruto was unable to move and Madara took advantage." Gaara said
"Sakura, get on the sand." Shizune said
"Right." Sakura said and climbed on the sand with Narumi
"I need to come as well. Gaara you need to get us to a safe place so we can help Narumi. Raven, I know this is bad, but can you please focus on your plan to get that tree out of here?" Kushina asked
"Yeah. I can do it." Raven said
"Good. Gaara, let's go." Kushina said
"Wait. Can one of you use the Kamui technique like Naruto?" Raven asked
"Kakashi can. Why?" Kushina asked
"Use it to get in the dimension and do whatever you need to do. Obito and Madara will probably follow you and that's when me and Starfire can take down the tree." Raven said
"Good idea." Kushina said and they flew off on Gaara's sand
"What do we do now?" Starfire asked
"We fly into the air. We need to get a better view of what's happening and when to make our move." Raven said
"What about after that?" Starfire asked
"Then we find Naruto and heal him." Raven said
Kushina
"How's she doing, Sakura?" Kushina asked
"I'm trying as best as I can." Sakura said
"Don't worry. In a few minutes she'll be as good as new." Kushina said
"Why is Naruto holding back?" Sakura asked and Kushina sighed
"I don't know. If I had to guess it's because he doesn't want to harm the tailed beasts. Other than that I have nothing." Kushina said
"I thought the tailed beasts are constructs of chakra." Sakura said
"They are, but if you kill the jinchuriki while the tailed beast is still sealed away, then the tailed beast will die as well like the three tails did and then they would have to wait years to reform. Naruto doesn't want to do that I guess so he isn't going for kill shots." Kushina said
"There's Kakashi and lord fourth." Gaara said and landed next to them
"Kakashi, I need you to send us to your pocket dimension." Kushina said
"Why?" Kakashi asked
"I need to give Narumi the other half of the nine tails." Kushina said
"I thought Naruto had it." Minato said
"No. He gave it to me before he left and I've been keeping it safe." Kushina said
"Okay." Kakashi said, then got ready to use his kamui on Sakura and Kushina, but Madara appeared
"Black Zetsu, you were taking too long so I figured I'd come to you. You still haven't retrieved my other eye yet. What is taking so long?" Madara asked
"Obito appears to still have some fight left in him, but there's also something you should know." Black Zetsu said
"What is it?" Madara asked
"You only absorbed half of the nine tails and I know where the other half is. The Uzumaki in front of me has it." Black Zetsu said
"I see. You have five seconds to give up the nine tails or I'll be forced to kill you and remove it myself." Madara said
"Then it looks like you're gonna have to kill me." Kushina said
"Kushina hold on. You can't take that risk. He's the new ten tails jinchuriki and not even I can stand a chance against him." Minato said
"I'll be fine, Minato." Kushina said
"We need to hurry!" Sakura said while still giving CPR to Narumi
"You aren't going anywhere. You have something I want." Madara said
"You aren't getting it." Obito said
"You also have something that belongs to me. Be a good boy and bring me my eye." Madara said and black zetsu to control then Obito started to walked towards him, but then stabbed Madara in the stomach while removing some of Gyguki and Shukaku's chakra
"You had me fooled I'll admit, but that's not enough. I'll take my eye after I get the other half of the nine tails." Madara said and then sped right at Kushina, but then he was being absorbed into a vortex
"WHAT IS THIS?" Madara asked and the vortex completely absorbed him
"Who did that?!" Black zetsu
"Here. I've taken something from Madara that should help Narumi defeat Madara." Obito said and then transferred Gyuki and Shukaku's chakra into Narumi while fighting against Black Zetsu who was trying to control him
"Kakashi! Now!" Kushina said and before Kakashi could react, Obito used the kamui on himself taking black zetsu into the pocket dimension
"Kushina, do it now." Minato said
"Sakura, I'll take it from here. After I'm done we need to fall back. This is a fight only Narumi and Naruto can handle since they have access to sage jutsu." Kushina said and pulled out the seal containing the nine tails
"I can use sage jutsu as well." Minato said
"Yeah, but they're better at it than you. I have faith in them." Kushina said
"Maybe we can do this as a team." Sakura said
"I'd like that. I'm sure Naruto will be fine." Kushina said and then went through hand signs
Tailed beast transfer
"This shouldn't take long so get ready. RAVEN, STARFIRE. TAKE OUT THAT TREE." Kushina yelled
Starfire and Raven flew to the top of the tree and Starfire started to blast the top of the tree with the strongest star blasts that she could while Raven was meditating and chanting the phrase for her spell to work. After a while Starfire did enough damage to the top part and all around the tree so Raven did her spell.
Azarath metrion zinthos-Avada Kedavra
This was a forbidden spell that Raven would've never thought she'd have to use. This spell emitted a flash of green light and immediately vaporized the shinju without leaving a trace of evidence. Raven was stunned momentarily when she thought she heard the sound of a lady screaming in agony as the tree was vaporized. Raven and Starfire landed on the ground breathing a bit hard, but other than that they were fine.
"Now I see why Naruto doesn't get on your bad side." Kushina said
"Who is this?" Minato asked
"This is Raven. She's our daughter in-law. The lovely red haired girl is Starfire." Kushina said
"Our what?" Minato asked
"This is Naruto's wife. I'll explain later. For now we need to protect Narumi until the transfer is complete and then we need to check on Naruto." Kushina said
"It is most glorious to meet you." Starfire said and shook their hands a bit too hard and accidentally broke some bones in Kakashi's hand
"That's quite the grip you have." Kakashi said
"Sheesh. Any harder and she would've ripped my arm off." Kakashi thought
"It's a good thing I'm dead. That must've broken some bones." Minato thought
"I'm going to heal Naruto." Sakura said
"No. I'll do it. You should save your chakra just in case." Raven said
"Are you sure?" Sakura asked
"Yes. If he was stabbed through the heart then you'll have to use up a lot of chakra just to slow the bleeding down to a stable rate. I use magic to heal so I'll be fine." Raven said
"Let her do it. We should take this time to plan for when Madara returns." Kushina said and Raven flew away with Starfire following her
"You are so dead when this is over." Raven thought and didn't get a response
Narumi
"Where the hell am I? Does this mean I'm dead?" Narumi asked as she woke up in a place she didn't recognize
"What makes thee think thou are dead? Thy ethical viewpoint on death differs from that which prevailed in my time. To so easily replace oneself with the term death, thou must gain metal, oh fletchling." A voice asked and Narumi immediately sat up
"Who are you?" Narumi asked
"Tis quite the precise question for this place, but I am quite uneasy whether thou shall be able to connect my name with my actions as a herald. I am he who shall address order and my name is Hogoromo, but on the other hand, I had already foreseen that thou would end up in such a state as that one after all." Hogoromo said
"What the hell did he just say? He seems more like one of those old annoying geezers." Narumi thought
"Hey, sorry gramps, but I..."
"Now then." Hogoromo said and then Narumi noticed his eyes
"No way. Those eyes. Rinnegan!" Narumi said
"Thou does appear to possess observant eyes all that remain is for thee to pragmatically understand thy circumstances. Firstly though has not died as of yet. This place is thy known in the mind. I understand..." Narumi just tuned him out after a while
"This geezer is clearly not an enemy, but I can't understand a word he is saying." Narumi thought
"A BIT SIMPLER PLEASE. Can't you just speak using easy normal words!" Narumi said
Naruto
"So you're the sage of six paths?" Naruto asked
"I have been called many names, but yes. I am him." Hogoromo said
"So what exactly do you want?" Naruto asked
"The elder brother Indra has attached himself to you after awakening your Sharingan. He was originally reincarnated into another Uchiha child, but after your awakening of the sharingan, his spirit felt a stronger connection to you. These eyes of mine can clearly see Indra's chakra clinging all around you. Considering your lack of surprise about it, perhaps you have actually sensed elder brother Indra presence inside of you already." Hogoromo said
"Not me. My wife Raven was able to sense him while we were meditating." Naruto said and Hogoromo nodded
"So you also know who younger brother Ashura must be?" Hogoromo asked
"Narumi. Isn't that right?" Naruto asked
Narumi
"Indeed. So you were aware?" Hogoromo asked
"So there were more reincarnates before Naruto and me? So what happened to them? Who were they?" Narumi asked
"The reincarnates just before you two were Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Hashirama was Ashura. Madara was Indra. You know how they ended up don't you? Though Madara created a certain problem before he finished being the reincarnate. He was so obsessed with power that he stole some of Hashirama's. Which in short, caused the merging of a part of Ashura's chakra with Indra's chakra and in turn resulted in the derivation of my own chakras power." Hogoromo said
"Please tell me you aren't telling me what I think you're telling me." Narumi said
"That's right. The awakening of the rinnegan. I always thought that such a fellow would appear among either Indra or his reincarnates. Which is why I left behind that stone tablet. With guidance on reforming ones thinking. Though no one seems to have understood its meaning." Hogoromo said
"So then super gramps sage, basically it's like you've been watching your kids sibling rivalry this entire time?" Narumi asked
"Yes. I suppose so." Hogoromo said
Naruto
"So I get all of that, but why are you here exactly?" Naruto asked
"I am here to give you a gift to ensure the world stays safe from Kaguya Otsutsuki, my mother. After my mother put an end to chaotic times, she ruled through her powers alone. However, my mothers power bred arrogance within her and mankind began to dread the existence of that power. My mother who had been called the rabbit goddess at some indefinite point started being feared as a demon. If power is concentrated in only a single person it would run wild and that person would become possessed by it. The current Madara is a current example. He's become just like my mother." Hogoromo said
"Okay I get it. Kaguya is a bad person and we can't let her get revived. I was working on that and could've killed Madara had you not paralyzed me! What the hell were you thinking anyway?!" Naruto asked
"It was time for us to meet and talk." Hogoromo said
"Why didn't you do this earlier? Like I don't know BEFORE Madara captured all of the tailed beasts! You know what, forget that. What I want to know is since I have unlocked both of my Uchiha and Senju DNA, why haven't I awakened the rinnegan?" Naruto asked
"That is because of your Uzumaki genes. They are somehow prohibiting your Senju genes and Uchiha genes from merging. It's like how the Uzumaki were the clan that was able to keep peace between the Uchiha and Senju clans so long ago. However, that is a story you'll have to figure out on your own. That isn't heard of, but you're the first person to have all three of the major clans genes. Now, I would like to hear your honest thoughts and opinions on everything." Hogoromo said
Narumi
"Maybe I am like this Ashura guy, but only unlike him. I'm just a kid and I don't understand many things in this world, but I do know what friends and family are and I do want to protect them. That's it." Narumi said
"Is that your response then?" Hogoromo asked
Naruto
"Yeah." Naruto said
"Long ago I entrusted everything to younger brother Ashura and I didn't pay any attention to elder brother Indra. That proved to cause calamity. Give me your dominant arm. This time, I'm entrusting my power to you, Indra's reincarnate as well." Hogoromo said
"You should've done that the first time and we probably wouldn't be in this mess." Naruto said
"I understand." Hogoromo said
"Good. Now, I don't think we have to worry about Kaguya being revived. My wife should've taken care of that stupid tree by now." Naruto said
"It is possible that her powers did not work and the shinju tree is still there." Hogoromo said and Naruto frowned
General view
"From this point on, Naruto and Narumi, what you both shall do and what shall transpire will be up to the two of you." Hogoromo said
"Naruto and I have never been close even though we're blood brother and sister, but I believe deep down in my heart that we can make peace. Because we have a common enemy and a mother that would want us to reconcile. I mean I have changed a lot over the past three years and I understand how he feels now." Narumi said
"Narumi and I have never been close and I doubt we ever will be. While her path in life has been surrounded by cheerfulness and love, my path has been shrouded in darkness until I met my wife then it became a haze. Narumi will never be able to understand what I went through in my life partially because she was the cause of some of it." Naruto said and then Hogoromo gave both of them some of his powers
Raven & Starfire
"Raven, will friend Naruto be okay?" Starfire asked as Raven was healing Naruto
"He'll be fine. I managed to fix his stab wound to his heart, but something is blocking him from waking up." Raven said and then Naruto woke up, but Raven could tell he was different somehow
"Friend Naruto! You are okay, yes?" Starfire asked
"It's time to get going." Naruto said and unknown to them he released Madara from his pocket dimension
"How are you feeling?" Raven asked
"I see you managed to get rid of the tree. Good job." Naruto said and felt a huge amount of chakra
"That's the eccentric jonin might guy. He must be using the 8th gate against Madara." Naruto thought
"Friend Naruto. Please let us know if you are okay." Starfire said and Naruto just walked over to Tobirama
"So you're purposely ignoring us now? Great." Raven said and Naruto just took the black rods out of Tobirama
"He's able to touch Madaras rods, but he doesn't seem to be affected. What happened to him while he was starting to die?" Tobirama thought
"You already combined your mark with Minato. Can you teleport me over to them, lord second?" Naruto asked as Tobirama stood up
"I think I see what you want and yes, I can since I linked myself to fourths marking. However, I'm sorry at my current strength I'm only able to teleport one person." Tobirama said
"That's fine. Only I need to go." Naruto said
"Friend Naruto, please. Let us help you." Starfire said
"I believe it is best that he goes alone." Orochimaru said making his presence known
"What is it that you mean?" Starfire asked
"From here on out we would only serve as a burden to him. He doesn't need our help anymore. Now it will be a fight with Naruto and his sister against Madara Uchiha." Orochimaru said and Raven created a dark barrier around her and Naruto
"Why aren't you talking to me? I nearly lost you and you just ignore me when you wake up. I was scared, Naruto. My ring started to fade away and now you make it seem like nothing happened. Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Raven said as she was starting to get pissed off and when Naruto turned around she gasped
"I just want to get this over with as quickly as possible. We can talk later." Naruto said looking at Raven
"What happened to your eye?" Raven asked and gently touched his face
"Let's just say I was blessed by the sage of six paths along with Narumi. Now, drop the barrier. We're wasting time." Naruto said and Raven nodded
"Are you ready?" Tobirama asked
"Yeah." Naruto said and vanished as soon as Tobirama touched him
Narumi
"Narumi, you saved guy-sensei. Thank you." Rock Lee said over the body of might guy
"Narumi, when you finally become hokage, we should go have a drink sometime." Gaara said
"Of course." Narumi said and jumped away towards Madara
"You can't take me down. I've essentially become immortal now." Madara said
"You idiot. I'm not the one who's gonna be taking you down. WE are the ones who are gonna be taking you down." Narumi said as Naruto appeared next to her
"It's time for you to die, Madara. The tree is gone and your plans are ruined. You will die today and this time it'll be for good." Naruto said
"I see. My plans have been ruined. How did you exactly get rid of the tree? There's no trace for me to find." Madara said
"That is a secret that you don't need to know." Naruto said
"Either way it goes, you're still no match for me. I've got the power of all the tailed beasts and the rinnegan." Madara said
"You won't have the tailed beasts in you for long." Narumi said
"Very well then. The jinchuriki has awakened six paths sage jutsu and you have awakened one eyed rinnegan. However, I've got both of those powers together, remember? This is the final battle between us! My powers versus your. Let's settle who is superior once and for all." Madara said
Naruto and Narumi didn't say anything as they just stood there. Madara was right, this is the final battle between them and the entire world was counting on them. Narumi has a small bead of sweat going down her face and Naruto just had an emotional look on his face. He wasn't scared or nervous. Everyone in the allied shinobi forces jumped away from the fight and waited with baited breath to see the outcome of this fight. One thing they all knew was that no matter who won this fight, the shinobi world was going to change. The question is, would it change for better or for worse?
