Chapter 61
Team 7 and Team 10 were in their way to Kiri, after introducing each other, the two teams clearly got along way better than with Team 8, whom they had basically no interaction with, besides with Kiba.
On the way, they had fought a few Bandits, who had tried to stop them, they could sell their heads to bounty hunters, which was the reason they even bothered in the first place, they utterly failed.
However, the six of them were too lazy to talk with each other for too long, and they found it quite useless too, well that was excluding Ken and Ino, who basically were talking to each other without stop.
It was a very weird sight,since Ken was 9, and Ino was 15. Ryu just rolled his eyes and ignored the sight, while Yato snorted,"Instead of focusing on training, all he does is talk and talk! The moron he is… Urgh."
Honestly, Yato and Ken did not talk much to each other, mainly due to the fact the Hyuuga refused to acknowledge the dumb person, who was Ken. He basically shoved down everything he knew about the Uchiha Clan.
Now that he possessed the Byakugan"s parent dojutsu, Tenseigan, he would take revenge against those who took his father from his life… He would utterly crush them entirely, in fact the only reason he had yet to do so was,Ryu.
Yato was not rash or quick to act. Among Konoha, with his Tenseigan and Byakugan, and his a.r.s.enal of ninjutsu and taijutsu, there were few who could stop him in time from destroying the Hyuuga Clan.
In fact, the only one with that ability was Ryu. He was very wary of that person, the strongest dojutsu, the Rinnegan was possessed by him, but he could also claim the Tenseigan was at the same level.
His control over the Limbo Realm had increased incredibly after he attained the Tenseigan, in fact he also felt a certain connection to the moon… As if something was calling for him, but he could not tell what it was.
The total shadows he could control properly in the Limbo Realm was now 4. He also tested another ability of the Tenseigan, and now even his true body could enter the Limbo Realm, which was a bottomless white s.p.a.ce.
It left like he was blind… A feeling of despair always entered his body every time he entered it with his true body, as if he was witnessing something legendary, but was too blind to actually see it.
Which signified two possible things, one, he was too weak to see through the Limbo Realm,two, he was actually blind in this other realm, the most believable answer, was the first one, and he did believe in it.
Suddenly, Ryu tapped his shoulder, gaining his focus immediately. "Yato, can you sense Kirigakure? We"ve been traveling for almost two months, and we even traveled from ships." The Hyuuga nodded, and activated his Byakugan.
"Kiri is around 5 kilometers away, we are not that far away, we can reach it in less than ten minutes if we rush." Yato exclaimed, and Ryu nodded, the others increased the speed, and so did they.
Ken stopped chatting with Ino, and got serious, he jumped into a log, and bursted in speed, catching up to the rest almost immediately after they left him in dust, Ryu smirked,"Let"s go faster!"
Team 10 were caught in surprise, as Team 7 suddenly broke apart from their formation, and basically went faster than them, by a lot. They went up to 250 kph, a speed Team 10 could not reach, so effortlessly at least.
Kirigakure, The Mizukage"s Office.
Inside the Mizukage"s Office, a beautiful auburn haired woman, who seemed to be on her middle to late 20s, was signing paperwork without stop,her face was pale, clearly from spending too much time sitting.
"... I feel like I"m going to die!" She said and threw her head into the desk, making several important unsigned papers fly into the air, and a person quickly catched them, her right hand, Ao.
"That is not how you treat paperwork, Lord Mizukage-sama." Ao said with a sigh, as he put the paperwork on the desk again, Mei groaned and replied, messing up with her hair as well,"I hate it! Why did I agree to be the Mizukage again…"
"After Yagura was killed in action by the Third Tsuchikage, you were the only one worthy of the t.i.tle, Lord Mizukage, which is the reason you are sitting in that chair right now." Ao answered, as if it was natural.
"I… I also think you are the best choice to be the Mizukage,Mei-sama!" Chojuro nervously said, as he played with his fingers, his head facing down. Mei chuckled,"You really need to work on that problem of yours,Chojuro."
" I hate this job of mine…"
Kurai growled , his true body, which was inside Ryu did the same. His double, a clone basically, which he had created before, was traveling the universe, and was nearing the sanctuary of one of the Four Divine Beasts.
The Abyssal Phoenix, the phoenix which became mutated due to living in the Abyss, a realm next to the Limbo Realm, far bigger and larger. It is said that it also got tricked into becoming a mindless follower of the Abyssal Realm.
Kurai was facing the Abyssal Phoenix, a large Phoenix with black fire covering its body, no… One could actually say the fire was its body. It was almost as large as the Moon of the Earth, and it was coldly glaring at Kurai.
"Why are you in the Abyssal Realm… The Follower Of The One Who Shall Not Be Named?" The Abyssal Phoenix screeched out, demanding an answer, the silver wolf snorted,"It"s not your business."
"You shall answer me! Or you will have to fight me, you overgrown wolf!" The Abyssal Phoenix screeched with an even higher tone. Kurai smirked," I"m always up for a fight, You featherless Chicken!"
"You dare!"
Ch 62
Ryu felt the anger Kurai was feeling at this moment, something bad had happened, he could feel it through his companion"s feelings at the moment. He frowned, however he did not show it on his face.
"What the h.e.l.l are you doing… Kurai." He could feel the aura of Kurai slowly weaken,"My clone I had exploring the universe just got attacked by Abyssal Phoenix, it was a close fight, and both of us were heavily injured." Kurai answered with a growl.
The Otsutsuki frowned,"What would"ve caused one of the four Divine Beasts to attack Kurai… Possibly a treasure he might possess? But he doesn"t possess any such thing…I"ll have to give him a visit soon."
No one messed up with his friends… And the Four Divine Beasts were no exception to him either. They"d pay for the wounds they caused Kurai, although it was just a clone of his, it was still him.
The time in Kiri was quite weird, first, they had meet up with the Mizukage, Mei Terumi, who apologized for the battle they had with Jin Terumi, who had escaped at the end of the Wave Mission, and was now in the wild.
He was Mei"s cousin, since he was part of the Terumi Clan, and possessed one of their two Bloodlines, the Lava Style, while Mei had both Lava And Boil Style, which made up for a terrifying combo.
She had tried to stop her cousin, but failed to do so, as he was a bit stronger than her at the time he had betrayed the village and become a missing nin. Since then, Jin had become a Mercenary, who worked for money.
Their time in Kirigakure soon ended, and they had partic.i.p.ated in different missions.
One year quickly pa.s.sed in Konoha, Ryu and Team 7 were basically the strongest chunins Konoha had ever known. Yato, was starting to separate from the team, and his mother"s death hit him terribly.
Yato"s mother died from a sickness which had no known cure. Ryu could"ve always healed her, but… There was no point in doing it. Yato had… afterwards betrayed the village… And here we are.
Around Yato stood the corpses of the entire Hyuuga clan, his Tenseigan shining brightly. " You cannot stop me, Ryu! I"ve become even stronger than you! f.u.c.k your Rinnegan, f.u.c.k your Wood Style!" Yato laughed madly as he sent Cyan colored chakra at Ryu.
He looked the same as Hamura did, over a thousand years ago, when he faced the youngest sibling of the three, Ryu Otsutsuki, who now was Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze, it was ironic indeed. Ken was unfortunately not here, due to him being in a missionv with another team.
Ryu sighed and looked at Yato, who was looking at his headband with a face of pure hatred,"I have hated Konoha for as long as I can remember, Ryu! I Appreciate you helping reach my current level… but I"ll defeat you right here!"
"Eight Trigrams - Three Hundred Sixty Palms!" Yato roared as he suddenly attacked him with a barrage of palms, Ryu was getting overwhelmed, and then he activated his Rinnegan,"Shinra Tensei!" He shouted as Yato was sent flying away.
The 10 years old boy coldly glared at Yato, before he extended his arm forward,"Bansho Ten"in." Yato was pulled forward, before he sent a Truth Seeking Orb forward, interrupting the attack.
"This power was granted to me… I"ve become a G.o.d Ryu! And you clearly are not… I"ll defeat you using those black orbs, the power granted to me as a G.o.d, the one who will bring judgement to this world!"
Yato roared,and Ryu sighed, as his eyebrows fell down in defeat,"Must I really do this? Do you truly wish to die, Yato?! After all we went through… You still want to do this stupid thing!" He growled as he clasped his hands together.
"Wood Style - Gaia"s Presence - G.o.d"s Judgement!" An extremely large wood golem started to build itself, it was like Gaia"s second form, but way larger and with a male form, and also had a large sword in it"s hands.
"Sage Arts - Wind Style - Grand Wind Fire Breakthrough." Ryu shouted as he unleashed a large storm upon Yato, made of Wind and Fire. It was literally an attack that he was sure no Kage could survive through.
The young boy panicked, realizing that this attack was indeed powerful, he gritted his teeth and used a Truth Seeking Orb to cover himself from the attack, he made a fatal mistake in his decision.
The attack surged forward, completely destroying the Truth Seeking Orb, however Yato managed to dodge the attack at the last minute, using his Tenseigan, which gave him the ability to switch places with a shadow in the Limbo Realm.
Yato then switched places with another shadow, and appeared behind Ryu, who thrust a fist forward, slamming it into his face, however he saw red in his eyes before he was sent flying away.
"The Sharingan!" He exclaimed, as he slowly got up, only to face Ryu"s punch, which slammed itself at him again. It was quite ironic, the Hyuuga who were known for their taijutsu were having one of their own get defeated in it.
Ryu snorted,"Are you dumb, Yato?! Of course I have the Sharingan! Otherwise, how was I supposed to gain the Rinnegan? It"s only acquired by possessing both Senju and Uchiha DNA in your blood."
Yato"s eyes widened at the realization, but coughed more blood as Ryu kicked him away, he sent a Truth Seeking Orb at the large wood golem, trying to cut it in half, but failed to do so, he gritted his teeth.
"Light Style - Grand Light Ball!" He roared as one of his Truth Seeking Orbs turned white, and suddenly grew a bit in size, releasing an amazing amount of energy and light from itself, and shot at Ryu.
Ryu snorted and used Shinra Tensei to push the ball away, straight at Yato who just moved it towards the Wood Golem, which got engulfed in a ma.s.sive explosion of energy, it"s arm was destroyed, and Ryu was not interested in maintaining it anymore.
Yato let out a battle cry when he noticed nothing was working,"I"ll show you my ultimate attack, you have earned it, RYU!", and he internally smirked,"This chakra… This power gave me this ability!"i
"Light Style - Supernova!" He roared as his hands clasped together, suddenly they got covered in a bright shiny white color, his hands started to become red from the pressure of the jutsu.
"This is my current peak jutsu… It"s capable of wiping the entire Village down with just half of it"s full capabilities! Just die, RYU!"
Ch 63
"Is this all? Disappointing." Ryu said as his his palm released steam, a few scratches on its surface, due to absorbing all the chakra from the jutsu.Yato Hyuuga could only look with his face showing disbelief.
"I"ll show you how true power truly looks like…" He closed his eyes, however Yato felt a weird feeling, telling him to run away, and that he was no match for what was to come from Ryu a moment later.
He noticed Ryu"s eyes had changed from the Sharingan, to silver with ripples, and with 3 tomoes in each eye. They looked very formidable and scary at their current state. The Otsutsuki smirked.
"This is a dojutsu beyond the Rinnegan, called the Rinne-Sharingan." Ryu said as his eyes widened slightly,"And this will be your doom… Is what I"d like to say, but I"ll bring you back, you fat c.u.n.t!"
He roared as he clasped his hands forward,"Chibaku Tensei!"
It was quickly over, the battle itself did not even last ten minutes, Ryu had easily won this battle using Chibaku Tensei, trapping the weakened Yato into the creation he just made, and he did not return to Konoha, the man would probably be killed for his crimes if he did so.
"I"ll leave for my personal realm right now, I should just freeze time here, so no one gets worried about me." Ryu thought as he waved his hand, and the birds in the sky stopped moving, it was silent.
He then waved his hand again, and the small moon he had created got sucked into a small hole, while his Rinne-Sharingan disappeared, the normal Rinnegan took its place, there was no use to keeping it always activated.
His body was sucked inside his eyes, resembling the way Kamui worked,"I"ll have to explain everything to Ken… Or I could just turn back time later on, I"ll probably just do that, after I fix his brain."
"Just kill this dude, he is too covered in darkness, even if you erase his memories, and turn back time, or some s.h.i.t, it"ll still be the same ending, Ryu… Unless you use the Infinite Paths." Kurai growled.
Ryu frowned,"Why would I kill one of my only friends in this life, Kurai? I"ll turn back time and use Reality Manipulation to change his mind, and also revive his mother. A year back should work just fine."
"Do Whatever you want, but do not forget to always keep an eye on this brat, a G.o.d or not, you still are killable… And as your will it is my responsible to keep your lazy a.s.s alive." Kurai scowled.
Ryu ignored him and raised a hand in the air and muttered,"Infinite Paths… - Time Path" The world froze, Ryu and Yato returned back to several months ago, before his mother died. Ryu coldly looked at Yato before putting his hand above Yato,his eyes changing to the Rinne-
Sharingan, with a wave of his hands, the memories of what had happened died off.
"Maybe this is for the best of the world… I could"ve just wiped you out of existence, but with my Rinne-Sharingan you shall return to the time several months ago, and not have an ounce of feeling of madness anymore."
Ryu said with a sigh, as he healed all of Yato"s wounds he had caused to him, simply through pure taijutsu and a few ninjutsu, it was ironic. Yato had no experience, no matter how much power he had.
He indeed, had completed several C,B and A Rank Missions,but he did not have experience with total power, absolute. Ryu had held such a power for more than a thousand years in comparison.
Time flew quickly, Ryu has now 12 years old, and a jounin. It was not hard to become a jounin from chunin. One needed a certain amount of missions, fight a jounin, and also partic.i.p.ate in the jounin exam, which tested one"s combat capabilities and knowledge.
Fuu had started to get clingier and clingier to him, while he did not mind it at all *cough* it was not suitable for the two to do such acts. He did not mind it when it was about Ramen, the food of G.o.ds, since he was a G.o.d.
Yato who had completely forgotten about his actions in a previous timeline, had also become a jounin, just like Ken. The three were now acting as the supreme team 7, basically the only team 7 to fully become jounins at the same time.
His brother and sister, Yuki and Naruto were now both 18, while Mina was 4 years old, the little ball of sunshine had quickly become a source of happiness for the Uzumaki Namikaze family, just like Fuu.
Fuu was now 14. She was a chunin, and was trained by both Minato and Kushina, and also by Ryu, he was confident she was almost jounin level, and she had also become friends with Chomei.
She had also severely developed in all fronts… And wore...Rather...Revealing...Clothes, Ryu felt like his nose was always at the brink of bleeding due to the revealing clothes Fuu wore, but he wouldn"t fall down to the feelings which captured his body and heart.
He would resist…
Hidan let out a mad laugh as he looked at his partner,"Akatsuki already captured the Two Tails,Three Tails,Four Tails,Five Tails,SixTails… All what remainds the the One Tail,Eight Tails and Nine Tails! I"ll get the honor of defeating the Nine Tails Jinchuuriki"s brother!"
Kakuzu snorted,"Shut up, or I will kill you,Hidan. We are here to capture Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze alive. You cannot sacrifice him to your fake G.o.d. I just received the news that he is out for a solo A Rank Mission recently from my spies."
Hidan smirked,"I"ll enjoy every moment I"ll get to drink his blood… The blood of a descendant of the Senju and Uzumaki clan should have a delicious blood. Jashin-sama will be pleased if I sacrifice him to him.. But the Leader wants him alive… What do I do…" He finished with a groan.
" I can always sacrifice a bit of his blood! I"m sure Jashin-sama will temporarily be satisfied with that! And even the leader does not require him anymore, I"ll sacrifice his life to Jashin-sama…" Hidan brightened.
Ch 64
Kakuzu groaned, as his partner, Hidan swung his scythe at Ryu, who sighed. " Why do I have weird men with black cloaks with some red clouds on it, chasing me around literally every day?" He smirked.
"Fire Style - Fire Great Annihilation!" He shouted as he exhaled a large amount of fire at Hidan, who grinned,"That is tempting to face it straight up like this, but I don"t want to feel the pain of my body burning."
Ryu released another smirk as he appeared behind Hidan,"You don"t have to dodge it y"know!" He shouted as he slammed his fist at Hidan, sending him flying towards the fire sea, with his eyes widened.
Kakuzu frowned as he used his Water Mask and Wind Mask to create a dual attack, which broke the fire sea, saving Hidan from a lot of pain. Hidan let out a sigh of relief as he fixed his scythe.
Hidan growled,"This b.a.s.t.a.r.d… No matter how much I tried, I couldn"t capture even a bit of his blood!" Kakuzu frowned,"We two are not good at capturing people… We are an a.s.sa.s.sination duo… Why did the leader want us to do this…"
His eyes widened as Hidan suddenly flew past him," I need to use my masks!" He shouted to himself, before Ryu appeared in front of him, with a fully charged Exploding Rasengan,"Too slow!"
He coughed blood as the Rasengan was slammed to his stomach,once,twice,thrice… Explode!
"AAARGH!"
Ryu snorted,"Those dudes… They are too weak, I don"t even have to use my Rinnegan or Wood Style against them, It"s such a shame…" Seriously, when compared to Kisame Hoshigaki, the one he fought a few years earlier, this was way easier!
"You two… You are too weak, where the f.u.c.k is that Kisame dude, he was an actual threat to me for a while too, you two… are just too weak when compared to him, it"s not even fun to fight you two." Ryu snorted as he went through and seals.
"Ah well, I"ll finish this in one blow, out of respect for Kisame, and your leaders." He smirked and muttered,"Wood Style - G.o.d Palm!" He shouted as wood gathered in the air to form a ma.s.sive palm, the one Saori had experienced before.
Nothing was left of the two Akatsuki Members, and a large part of the forest was destroyed, leaving only a few roots behind, as proof that the forest existed in the first part. The boy let out a chuckle.
Ryu had to roll his eyes, for now he had other problems, the Abyssal Phoenix, was one of them. He still had no idea why it had suddenly decided to attack his companion,Kurai in the Abyss Realm.
He had recently sent a Soul Clone, with the power of the four Divine Beasts together at the Abyssal Realm, which was created by the Creator of the Universe, just after his death, due to the chaos of his soul.
The Abyssal Phoenix was a fearsome being, it could definitely rang among the top ten immortal beings in the entire universe. Ryu however was far above that, he was the creator, owner of the universe.
The Abyssal Realm
The Abyssal Phoenix screeched when Ryu appeared out of nowhere,"What do you want here, you abnormal being!" Ryu snorted,"Shut up, your overgrown bird, how dare you touch my companion."
The soul clone snorted, as he raised his hand, he was in his G.o.d Form, not in his Mortal Form anymore. It would be extremely easy to deal with the Abyssal Phoenix with his current strength he had.
The G.o.d Form couldn"t be underestimated, a good chunk of the G.o.ds were even stronger than the Four Divine Beasts. Ryu smirked as energy gathered in his palm, yes, not Chakra but Energy.
Pure energy, something Ryu had discovered in his travels,"It seems that the Four Divine Beasts will become the Three Divine Beasts from now on, You f.u.c.king useless piece of feathers." He smirked again.
The Abyssal Phoenix screeched," You cannot kill me so easily, You disgusting man! You"ll never compare to the original creator, no matter how powerful you are, and no matter how much you try to be like him."
" I"m not here to talk with you about the original creator, featherless bird… You are not capable of talking to me in the same level." Ryu said as his palm got super heated, comparable to the heat of a supernova, an extremely large one.
"I kind of got this idea from an old friend… It"s basically the same, but way stronger than the original… You are the first person to experience this technique which does not use Chakra at all…" Ryu said.
"Star Style - Red t.i.tanic Supernova!" The black s.p.a.ce of the Abyssal Realm, shone in a red light, the last thing which was heard was the cry of the Abyssal Phoenix, and the mad laugh of Ryu.
Ryu felt it was pretty weird, The Abyssal Phoenix did act extremely weird in those two last meetings with him and Kurai. Despite it usually being very aggressive, it usually never got to the point they had to battle each other.
The Abyssal Phoenix was also not this stupid, it knew where it"s limits lied, and it would not try to cross them, despite having a very bad relationship with Ryu, who was the successor of the creator of the universe.
He"d have to investigate it in much more details.
Minato coughed blood, the enemy in front of him was indeed too strong for him alone, Pain. The leader of the Akatsuki. It seems the man had grown angry, and wanted to destroy the Leaf, but it became a much larger threat than it was supposed to be it seems.
"Shinra Tensei!" Pain roared as he used the Deva Path"s ability, Minato dodged, barely using his Hiraishin, but the next ability, he could not dodge,"Bansho Ten"in!" He roared as Minato was pulled forward.
"Where is he?!" Pain shouted,"The one I am looking for is not you… It"s…"
"Me!" A fist slammed on top of the Preta Path using Senjutsu, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the number one unpredictable ninja of Konoha… Had returned after his journey.
Chapter 65
Pain coughed blood,"Where is Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze?!" He roared, Naruto sweated,"So you are not looking for me after all?! Err It seems I made a mistake, sorry mister weird looking dude."
Ryu suddenly appeared out of nowhere,however he was using his G.o.d Form to cover his presence, meaning no one noticed that he was there, unless he wanted to show himself, no one would know.
"I"ll just let Naruto deal with Pain, with his current power level, it should be quite easy for him to defeat Pain, not to mention Yuki was always close, if Naruto needed help on restraining the Six Paths Of Pain."
The battle between Pain and Naruto continued, Pain was weakened, due to fighting Minato previously, but Naruto had a will to continue, Jiraiya had died. That had hit him badly, despite him only spending two years of his life with the pervert, he had grown inside his heart.
Ultimately, Naruto won using his perfect sage mode, Pain"s Rinnegan was weakened immensely, and due to Naruto being literally at his peak and best of all time, it was not that hard for him.
Ryu never appeared, because he was supposed to be in a mission, it would not really matter, but he would not to join this fight, where he could easily defeat Pain, who had taken the chance Kakashi was not in the village, Itachi too.
Time pa.s.sed slowly, Ryu was bored. Time was something which he perfectly understood due to his Infinite Paths, and as the successor of the creator of the universe, basically the owner of the universe.
Kurai was still healing from the wounds he received from his clones, not that he was very injured, but simply he wanted to take it easy, since he was bored, this could occupy him for a while.
"The Akatsuki is on the move again… Ryu. My clone just told me that it was revived, despite having most of its members killed, Deidara was killed by Naruto, Sasori by that pink banshee, Kisame is still alive, Konan is confirmed dead,Pain was killed,Hidan and Kakuzu were killed by you, Saori is confirmed dead, killed by k.u.mogakure."
Kurai growled, his silver fur waving freely in the air, it was nice to change forms every so many years.
Ryu smiled and afterwards, grinned,"It"s probably Obito Uchiha, the one who got Madara"s attention. It"s sad that he is just a puppet for Madara to control."
"That is true… The brat has Kamui, an ability rarely seen among the Mangekyou Sharingan users. Doesn"t that white haired young boy, was his name Kakashi, also have it?" Kurai said while closed one of his eyes.
Ryu nodded,"He is my father"s student, his most talented one, you could say. Sadly, he was depressed for several years, as both of his teammates died, one to his own attack, and another one crushed by rocks."
Kurai sighed,"The Uchiha always have bad luck… But this Hatake boy truly is even worse, we"ve seen a lot of bad situations, but his truly is something sad. Didn"t his father also commit suicide?"
Ryu nodded again,"But he is no longer depressed, my father and brother did all they could to lower his depression, while not the same as before, he is far better than he was at the beginning."
"Anyway, I need to leave for now, I need to tell my father I completed my mission, and fake my att.i.tude, I don"t think he"d appreciate me entering the office with a non fazed face." He chuckled and waved Kurai goodbye, who just snorted.
The scene in front of Ryu changed, from his mindscape, to green, a large forest. He had just completed his mission, A Rank, a solo one at that too. At age 12, he had completed several A Rank Missions, the age most people just became genins.
His attack power was nearly at the peak of the Elemental Nations, he even considered the fact that he might just be the strongest in Konoha right now, and he was right. With his Rinnegan and Wood Style, and sharingan, he was almost invincible.
His mastery over the basic elements was not weak either. He had a S Rank Jutsu which basically mixed elements together, and formed a storm, which came out of his mouth. It was formidable.
He was confident that he could level Konoha up, with just a single "Shinra Tensei" not to mention,[Shinra Tensei - Obliterate] it would probably even wipe the Hokage Mountain entirely.
"Err… Why am I thinking about how I can destroy Konohagakure?! Its my f.u.c.king home village!" Ryu rolled his eyes, and face palmed himself after realizing how stupid he was being in his mind,geez.
Ryu then took a detour, wanting to buy something for Fuu,"Uncle, do you think this jewelry would be perfect for a girl?" He said as he showed the shop owner a necklace with different gems, the man chuckled.
"Yes, but the price…" Ryu smiled and just shoved a large bag in front of the man, the opening revealing several gems of different sizes,"Consider it my treat, uncle, just try not to gather attention okay?" He said as he left with the necklace in his hand, twirling it like it was a toy.
He walked outside the village he currently was and grinned,"With this, Fuu won"t be that angry at me for leaving her alone in this invasion, I did make it sure that she was safe anyway…" He sweated.
He took a deep breath and chuckled as he started his journey to return to Konoha. " I wonder how the rest are right now… Hopefully Pain did not damage their consciousness that much." He disappeared from the sight of the rest.
Ken, during the Pain Invasion was with Yato, partic.i.p.ating in an A rank mission, together with 2 other jounins, it neared a S Rank Mission level, but still was acceptable for the four jounins, as they had a lot of experience.
It had been a very easy mission, but they did not expect to return to a Konoha, in shambles. They were using Yamato to slowly recover and repair the village, but he was having a hard time. "If only Ryu was here… With his Wood Style it would be far easier."
Ch 66
The Uzumaki, slowly neared the former gates of Konoha, which were now in shambles, having been brought down by Nagato"s Shinra Tensei, which had destroyed Konoha"s infrastructure completely.
"RYUUU!" He heard a shout, as a green blur suddenly embraced him, and almost pushed him into the ground. " You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You did not even send a letter to me in all those weeks!" Fuu pouted.
Ryu let out a nervous chuckle, as he tried to push Fuu aside, at the same time trying to not hurt her, it would probably hurt him in his soul if he did hurt the cute and adorable girl in front of him right now.
"I missed you so much! I want you to take me out to eat ramen today! Right now! Ichiraku"s just got opened today." Fuu said with a pout,"Oh… You probably don"t know what happened to the village right?" She said with an awkward moment of silence.
"...What? Can you explain to me, what happened to what was supposed to be the gates leading to the main center of Konohagakure… The gates which were supposed to be in front of me right now."
"What happened to the buildings which were supposed to be standing tall just after you pa.s.sed through the gates, where are the cheerful people who laughed while you pa.s.sed through the village?"
Fuu"s face suddenly showered itself with different expressions, varying from sadness to anger and fury." It was the Akatsuki, their leader, Pain and his five other bodies attacked Konohagakure, three days ago."
Ryu frowned,"... I should"ve been back earlier! I could"ve lowered the death numbers!" He gritted his teeth, before Fuu suddenly smiled,"the true Pain decided to revive everyone after Naruto defeated him."
Ryu froze, his expression not showing any emotion for a while, before finally bursting out in a series of laughter,"Thanks G.o.d! At least he did something good before dying, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" He finished with a chuckle.
Fuu"s smile continued to widen, her hands connecting with each other, and she then grinned,"Naru-nii did all he could to defeat Pain, and even defeated him in the end! I was sleeping through all of it though…" She muttered weakly.
"Let"s go inside the village, I want to meet Naruto and the rest,I"m pretty sure they are also worried about my state, since there has been no news about my mission with all this destruction." Ryu chuckled.
Fuu nodded,"They are in the reconstructed Uzumaki Namikaze Compound, Yamato wanted to reconstruct that first ,since it was the Hokage"s house, and Minato could not refuse." She exclaimed.
Uzumaki Namikaze Compound
Kushina growled,"That little piece of orange fur… If not for Minato and my little cute baby, I"d have crushed that man under my Adamantine Sealing Chains! I"d have strangled him to death with them."
Minato nervously chuckled, the Wood Clones Ryu had made, survived the blast of the Shinra Tensei, and now were completing the various paperwork he got after the Pain Invasion, and he was with his family.
Naruto was still resting, the battle against Pain had left him with various wounds, mainly due to the fact he still had a weak connection with Kurama, who had finally united, and did not stay in different forms.
Yin and Yang Kurama were now simply Kurama, and it was only due to the fact their connection was still weak that they had not used the Kurama Chakra Mode against Pain, it would"ve been an overkill.
"Ryu!" Exclaimed Yuki when he saw her brother, and proceeded to hug him, causing him to suffocate from her very well grown b.o.o.bs, she finally let him go after a full minute of suffocation on his part.
"h.e.l.lo, everyone. I just got back from my mission I Was a.s.signed… what happened here, tou-chan mind explaining it to me? Fuu explained a bit to me, but not all of it." He asked his father.
"Son… I"ll explain everything to you, but for now, come eat breakfast with us." Minato said sweetly, as he pointed at the two free chairs, which Fuu and Ryu soon occupied, and started eating.
"Fine, I just happened to be hungry too, I wanted to stop at Ichiraku"s to eat some Miso Ramen… But he seems to not be available right now… Right?" Ryu said with an awkward silence.
Kurai let a snort escape his mouth, before starting to laugh,"Of course it would be hard for two people to rebuild their small restaurant, my stupid creator! Teuchi and Ayame are just two people."
Minato smiled awkwardly," We will need you to help Yamato with the reconstruction… As you can see most of Konohagakure is in shambles, over a thousand buildings were brought down by the Pain Invasion."
Ryu nodded,"After I finish eating this delicious dinner my mother made, I"ll immediately spring to action, and use my Wood Style to help others, I"m sure my Wood Style - Yggdrasil served as a very good shelter right?"
Minato nodded,"Yes, it literally sheltered over a few thousand of our civilians, and even a few genins who were far too young in the art of fighting, I had Kushina and Tsunade protect them." He said.
Ryu got into a position he was comfortable and shouted,"Wood Style - Mother Nature"s Blessing!" He shouted as several wood roots popped out from the ground , and formed several houses, and into rows.
A total of over 50 houses were created from a single try, he did not even break a single sweat from this jutsu, showing his extremely high chakra reserves again, and making Yamato sigh, at the level Ryu was.
"When I was your age… I could barely produce some low rank Wood Style Jutsus, but you can already do all of this… Something even the current me gets extremely tired trying to do." Yamato said.
Danzo"s glare narrowed,"That little boy… My plans were fully ruined because Konoha was protected and saved by The Fourth and Naruto… I need to take this into my hand." Suddenly, with the usage of Kamui, a figure appeared in front of him.
Obito Uchiha, also called Tobi, the true leader of the Akatsuki,"I"m here to give you an offer, Danzo Shimura, one which you cannot refuse…"
Ch 67
Danzo"s eyes revealed a hint of coldness,"What brings you here,Masked Figure? The only person with that kind of a mask was the invader in the Nine Tails Attack on Konohagakure several years ago."
He might be a coward, he might be a fool sometimes, he might do evil stuff, but he would never and NEVER cooperate with a person who had inflicted pain on the civilians of Konoha, despite them being worms.
Obito smirked,not that it was visible from his mask,"I"ll have to tell you that the Kotoamatsukami is useless against me, for reasons I"d rather not reveal…" Danzo snorted," I do not have Shisui"s eyes with me anyway, he escaped my grasp."
"Do you not feel… that you are being severely limited? You are not allowed to even operate ROOT in Konoha, you are like a captured Rat, you are literally trapped inside what you call your home." Obito said.
"That does not mean I will betray Konoha, and join an enemy of the village I am trying to rule over… I"ll eventually become the Hokage of Konoha anyway, I"ll take care of them at that day." Danzo said, receiving a snort from Obito.
"The chances of you becoming the Hokage are slowly decreasing with every pa.s.sing day, old fellow. Minato, the fourth Hokage wants to make his son his successor after all… And the chances of him becoming the Fifth just increased due to the fact he defeated Pain." Obito said with a smirk.
Danzo"s old face revealed a few more wrinkles and he smiled,"That sounds interesting… Maybe you can tell me a few more details… To your so called "cooperation?" That day, Konoha just got an enemy far more troublesome than Pain…
The Old Hawk and the Manipulator of the Akatsuki allied with each other.
Minato felt like something bad was going to happen soon, but he shrugged the feeling,"It"s probably because of the Pain Invasion, I really need to increase the number of Shin.o.bis searching for people stuck in the ruins."
A cough took his attention, it was Kushina,"You should stop overworking yourself, the wood clones Ryu gave you should be more than plenty enough for the paperwork… You could also always tell him to make a few more Wood Clones."
The red haired beautiful woman was taking care of a sleeping Mina, who was still shaken from the recent situation.Fortunately she had not seen the death bodies before, because she was sent Yggdrasil, the tree was a quite good gift for Konoha.
Kushina was still glad her youngest son, Ryu had created that large tree, as it was one of the few things the Shinra Tensei did not manage to even infict visible damage on, and even the Six Paths Of Pain did not come there.
It had saved so many lives, and even if Pain had revived all the dead peoples, it still was not comfortable to be dead, for example, Kushina was quite close to death, when facing the Six Paths Of Pain, but her Adamantine Sealing Chains had saved her from that fate.
Minato chuckled," I don"t want to overwork him either, he literally reconstructed all the buildings of Konoha in a mere day, compared to that, what I am doing is quite easy." Kushina couldn"t really defy that logic,when there was not enough wood, Ryu had used his own chakra reserves.
Ryu rolled his eyes, as he entered the Hokage"s Office through the window, making both Kushina and Minato shiver,"Don"t do that again,Ryu! You scared the heck out of me!" Minato said with a sigh of relief.
Ryu sheepishly laughed,"I apologize, I just wanted to say that I finished rebuilding Konoha, for the walls I used Earth Style, since we can"t have wooden walls, can we? Anyway, if you need more wood clones here they are." He said as several wood clones appeared next to him, and he gave them the same command he gave the other clones next to Minato.
"Also, I just got news that Danzo has left Konoha, he stole a few items there and here, I think you should send an Anbu Squad and a Kage Level Shin.o.bi, if not two to retrieve the items." Ryu said with a yawn, and Minato froze.
"That means I was right earlier… It was not the situation that made me freeze like that, but Danzo! That old snake… He has left the area I can use Hiraishin in too… The old hawk has planned everything." Minato sneered as he summoned an Anbu Squad, and Kakashi together with Shisui, the two had returned from their latest mission.
He gave them a mission to retrieve the stolen items, and possibly kill Danzo, or capture him and get him to Konohagakure, to give him a punishment worthy of a betrayal like that. "Danzo is strong… Be careful."
The seven nodded and disappeared in a flash, using Shunshi,"Also, it seems the Akatsuki is still alive, a new leader has appeared." Ryu said with a dark face," Despite most of its members being eliminated, the new leader is someone called Tobi it seems."
Minato nodded,"I"ll send Jir-sensei… To scout the new Akatsuki…" He realized the words he was saying did not really make sense anymore, Jiraiya was dead, he bit his lower lips in realization and sighed.
Soon, Konoha stood up again, however, the Hokage was called to a meeting by the Raikage,A. The reason was the disappearance of their Jinchuuriki"s, first Yugito and now Killer Bee. It was the Five Kage Summit!
Ryu was not a partic.i.p.ant, instead of him, Minato choose Itachi and Shikaku, Shikamaru"s father as his bodyguards, to go to the Land Of Iron, where Samurais ruled over the country instead of shin.o.bi.
Ryu had a quite big surprise when Minato and the rest returned from the summit, of course he sent a soul clone to investigate whatever was happening there, but he had yet to receive it"s memories.
So when Minato,Shikaku and Itachi returned from the summit with a frown of their faces, Ryu was of course very curious about what had happened, so when his Soul Clone gave him his memories… He was not really shocked anymore.
The Fourth Great Shin.o.bi War...Was declared there…
Ch 68
Ken groaned, as Shisui chuckled,"If you want to fully use the Mangekyou Sharingan"s capability to the maximum, you need to be much faster than this, Ken." Shisui was his cousin, from his mother"s side.
He had told Shisui about him MS and EMS,because he knew that he was trustworthy, and he also had both, thus he"d help him achieve the mastery of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan fully.
"It still amazes me how you can use almost all of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan"s abilities, besides my special one, Kotoamatsukami. At least I still have something to brag about." Shisui chuckled.
Ken groaned even louder now,"Stop making me seem like I"m an extraordinary prodigy...Shisui…" The older man started to laugh,"Don"t worry, there are still people at your level at least."
"However… That little boy called Ryu is hiding quite a lot of his abilities, to be capable of awakening your EMS and MS with his Rinnegan, that"s a quite unique ability he has there." Shisui said in amazement.
If there was an absolute need for Ken to tell anyone why he awakened EMS or MS, Ryu allowed him to just tell him it was related to Ryu"s mutated Rinnegan, after all no one knew of it"s full abilities.
Shisu did not bother to know much about it either, it was all good if the Uchiha Clan became stronger, and the hatred of the clan lessened, and Ken was not filled with such darkness in his heart.
He was as pure as a Senju, it was quite interesting. Ken Uchiha"s Ancestor was Madara Uchiha, who was known for his cold and arrogant att.i.tude, and only Hashirama Senju could talk to him as equals.
"Let"s do another spar, this time with just the matured sharingan"s 3 tomoes." Shisui said as his Mangekyou Sharingan changed, to three tomoes. He took a stance, and so did Ken.
A moment of silence covered Training Ground 3, before The latter suddenly thrusted a fist forward,Shisui, easily dodged it and countered with and uppercut, which Ken blocked, and sent a leg forward.
He performed a roundhouse kick, which Shisui blocked with his free arm, however, Ken had already seen that, and suddenly, using Shisui"s arm as support, jumped in the air and tried to do an axe kick.
Shisui smirked as his body exploded in a poof of smoke, Ken"s eyes moved around, looking for Shisui, when suddenly he was punched, he retreated several steps backward, finally noticing Shisui who was smiling.
Ken sighed, faking a tired appearance before he suddenly punched Shisui, who was caught off guard. The older man grinned and lowered his body, making himself disappear from Ken"s sight, and did a front kick.
Ken flew into the air, but not before doing the same to Shisui, whose jaw shook,before his vision also got blurry, he gritted his teeth and jumped backwards, trying to keep a distance between the two.
The younger Uchiha"s eyes flashed red, and he did several hand seals,"Fire Style - Great Fireball Jutsu!" He shouted as he exhaled a ma.s.sive amount of fire at Shisui who sweatdropped and did the same.
"His Chakra is already comparable to the Fourth… He has far surpa.s.sed me in terms of Chakra, but his taijutsu is only jounin level, his genjutsu… seems to be even lower, while his ninjutsu is Kage level!" Shisui noted, when he twirled a kunai in his hand before suddenly using the smoke created by the two jutsus to appear behind Ken.
"Game Over." He smirked, savouring the expression his little cousin had, before it was replaced by a similar looking smirk,"For you that is." He said as suddenly the world cracked,"Genjutsu!" Shisui shouted, only noticing now.
"You really got me there...Ken I underestimated your Genjutsu, where were you hiding that man?" Shisui chuckled as he noticed the kunai next to his throat, he had been under Ken"s palm for a very long time it seems.
"Ryu taught me, he is actually way better in terms of genjutsu and taijutsu, when compared to me he"s in another level, in terms of ninjutsu…. He"s not even comparable anymore." Ken said with a chuckle.
Shisui"s glare narrowed,"This Ryu… Is far more knowledgeable than he lets out, I wonder what the Fourth taught him man… To teach someone to a high jounin-low kage level is not easy at all."
He then smiled,"Let"s go eat something for dinner, It"s getting late, what do you want to eat, it"s my treat for my favorite Uchiha cousin!" He gained the attention of the younger Uchiha who brightened,"Let"s go!"
Ryu sneezed,"Someone must be talking about me… My senses tell me it"s a familiar Uchiha… Must be Ken."He rolled his eyes, before continuing to eat the Miso Ramen Bowl in his hands, savouring the taste.
"The Five Hidden Villages have decided to unite against this common enemy, the Akatsuki, it seems they have an army of White Zetsus." Itachi said with his monotone voice, which held a bit of concern.
Minato sighed,"This is going to cause a ton of deaths among all the villages, hopefully this is not as major as we are all taking it to be, I don"t need half of my shin.o.bi"s to be dead by the end of it."
Ryu stopped eating his ramen bowl, as he had just finished it, and put it on the table before adding his opinion,"If we start a ma.s.sive offensive, when they are not expecting it, it could lower the deaths."
"I have an idea, Tou-chan, how about we divide the Allied Shin.o.bi Forces into ten divisions, each having ten thousand shin.o.bis, and each kage can control twenty thousand shin.o.bis." Ryu said,"Of course, we also need a headquarter, where the main commander can send commands."
"We"ll sort that out later,Ryu, for now just focus on relaxing, we don"t have much free time until we need to prepare for the incoming war." Minato said as he stretched his limbs, and started to read a book.
Ch 69
Nagato frowned,"Why am I Feeling my body again...I should"ve died when I fought that Naruto boy,unless… I remember Orochimaru having this jutsu which could revive the dead, did he use it on me?"
"It seems you have awaken, Nagato." A deep voice rang out, gaining his attention,"Who"s there?! Show yourself, or I will blast you to pieces using my power." Nagato said with a calm face,trying to act imposing.
"My name is not useful to you, your only goal here is to go back to Kabuto, and destroy his body with Chibaku Tensei." Nagato knitted his eyebrows,"Who are you to command me?" The voice chuckled,"It"s an order you shall obey."
Suddenly Nagato felt his body move against his desire, and his frown deepened,"He is using Edo Tensei, I cannot do anything to stop him, but… I was not revived by him, is it this Kabuto fellow who did it?"
"This is not going to end up well for you...Unknown person." Nagato growled out as his body disappeared in a flash, heading towards Kabuto,the shadows moved, to reveal Ryu who was chuckling.
"Who"d have thought Orochimaru would be killed by Kabuto himself, so interesting, perhaps he"ll be more enjoyable than his phedophile master?" He said as he twirled a kunai in his hand,"Fuu-chan is waiting for me, I shouldn"t make her worry."
The Fourth Great Shin.o.bi War, had caused the Elemental Nations to unite against a common threat, the Akatsuki, to be more exact, Obito Uchiha, and his puppets, probably Madara Uchiha later on the stage too.
Ryu could feel the man"s chakra presence, even if the later couldn"t, it was not Ryu"s fault he was too strong, Madara Uchiha might be powerful, and even scary for shin.o.bis, but to him he was nothing.
However, Ryu had decided not to contribute into this war… Because it would be very unfair to others, since his powers exceeded any of the other Kages, and he could match to the Rikudo Sennin with his current mortal form.
Of course, if it was needed, he"d intervene in the end, after all he couldn"t allow some mere mortals to destroy this world, this world which his brothers had worked to create, he just couldn"t do that to them.
Ryu took a deep breath, and his crimson hair wavered in the air,"Now… Show me your powers,Indra,Asura. I"m sure Hagoromo would not be proud of what you have done to his world… But he still loves you two with all he can."
A smile entered his face.
Naruto took a deep breath,"Control my Chakra...Relax...Feel in peace with Kurama"s Chakra, that is the only way I can control it in a far easier way than my current way, but it"s so pure." He thought.
The gates to Kurama"s seal were open, and the nine tailed fox itself was sleeping, his tails lazily waving in the air,Naruto was trying to find a balance when he used the Kurama Chakra Mode, so he could use it for a longer time period.
Naruto smiled, as he was covered in a yellow orange chakra,"I finally did it!" He cheerfully jumped in the air, as Kurama"s red slitted eyes opened,"Shut up,brat, you are annoying!" He roared.
"Now it"s time to deal with that Tobi Dude, and met octopops!" He grinned, completely ignoring Kurama, who gained a tick mark on his forehead and growled,"Anyway, hurry up, I can sense my sibling"s cries…"
Naruto nodded,"Let"s go, KURAMA!"
Tobi put on his mask, and took Madara"s Gunbai,"It was a quite nice feeling to it, it"s a shame I"ll have to give it up to him once he comes to me, and we"ll have to proceed with the plan afterwards."
Kabuto suddenly entered the scene, with a smile, Tobi noticed his transformation had deepend, he had scales on his body, and a tail filled with tails, he really felt he was disgusting, not that it mattered.
"The one million Zetsu army you have is indeed fearsome, are you sure… That it"s not overwhelming to send all of them, instead of sending them in waves, which would tire the Shin.o.bis more?"
Tobi"s sharingan and rinnegan narrowed,"Do not underestimate the Allied Shin.o.bi Forces,Kabuto. They have many Kage Level Shin.o.bi, and with the Fourth Hokage, they have a secured speed teleportation."
"Besides… The one I fear the most is that figure who stopped me from killing the Fourth and Kushina Uzumaki… He was indeed fearsome, he stopped a rampaging Nine Tails, as if it was nothing."
Obito Uchiha still remembered that day, when Ryu had effortlessly dealt with him, he had been in his G.o.d Form at the time, and had smacked him around, even with Obito"s Kamui still activated.
"No one will stop my plans for the Mugen Tsukuyomi, not even you Kabuto...If you dare to interrupt my plans, or even try to change something, no matter how valuable you are, I"ll personally kill you."
"The Fourth War… Begins now."
Ryu dodged a White Zetsu"s attack and groaned,"Didn"t I say I don"t want to join the war unless it was near the climax, and the Allied Shin.o.bi Forces needed my help to defeat Madara?!" He thought.
Ken who had joined his side grinned,"Looks like we are stuck together again, Ryu! Even as jounins!" He said as he slammed his foot into a White Zetsu"s head knocking him away, Yato also snorted.
"Why am I stuck with those idiots of all people I could be stuck with! I hate you, Konoha!!!" He cursed his luck,"Eight Trigrams - 128 Palms!" He shouted as he disabled several Chakra Points of many of his enemies.
"We are a solo team, Team 7!" Ryu shouted as he unsheathed his sword, grabbing it by the hilt,"Devour and Savour, Sword Of Destruction!" He roared and his sword cut several White Zetsus at once.
Ken took a deep breath and mentally shouted,"Fire Style - Great Fireball!" as he exhaled a ma.s.sive amount of fire, which took the shape of a fireball, burning several White Zetsus completely.
"LET"S DO THIS!"
Ch 70
"You… Aren"t you OBITO?!" Kakashi paled, when he saw the face behind the mask, it was indeed far different, but he still would recognize that face at any time and point in life, after all it had haunted him for years.
Naruto had an eyebrow above the other,"Obito… Isn"t that the name of Tou-chan"s former student, who died in the Third Great Shin.o.bi War, and was crushed by a stone, and who gave one of his sharingan eyes to Kakashi-sensei?"
Obito just had a cold glare on his face, and he took a deep breath.
Madara laughed madly, as he basically crushed the Five Kages, he had not felt this much joy since he had fought Hashirama, it seems the current five kages while quite weak, were still a bit of a challenge to him.
Suddenly, a fist crashed at him, his eyes widened, all the five Kages were unconscious, so who could"ve attacked him right now? His sharingan moved to the corner of his eyes, revealing Team 7.
Ken grinned and shouted,"h.e.l.lo Grandfather!" He said as his fist increased in power, and his eyes revealed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He then took a deep breath and jumped behind,"Fire Style - Great Fire Annihilation!"
Madara"s eyes widened even more, and then he had a face of amus.e.m.e.nt,"So you are my little son"s son huh, I have a grandson in this world, quite amusing, I"m the Ghost Of The Uchiha Clan!"
He said as he used the same fire jutsu to fight the other jutsu, and the two jutsus clashed together, forming a large smoke, which Madara used to start a taijutsu fight with Ken who did not retreat at all.
Madara noticed Ken had the EMS and held the amused expression for far longer than he originally planned to,"How did you achieve that state of power, my little grandson, as far as I"m concerned, I am the only one of the Uchiha Clan to do so."
Ryu however, did not wait for Ken to respond, as he dashed forward, nearly at the speed of sound, and slammed his foot at Madara"s forearm, who finally removed his amused expression, to replace it with a cold one.
"You three younglings are not bad, but you think some brats can manage to kill or even come close to defeating me?! The Elemental Nations have fallen way more than I originally thought!" Madara exclaimed.
Ryu jumped behind, as Yato took over, and started to seal Madara"s Chakra Points, the man grinned and engaged in a taijutsu spar with him, eventually easily winning, he just was far more experienced.
Madara smirked, his guard slightly falling down,"As I thought… They ultimately are just some brats, I can easily kill them, should I just use the Susanoo to overwhelm them with fear?" a blue aura engulfed him.
His susanoo. Ken took a deep breath, as he also formed his own susanoo, which was quite similar to Madara"s, just that it was of a orange-red color,"Let"s face each other, grandpa!" He grinned.
The two susanoos fought and fought…
Ryu rolled his eyes, as the figure in front of him took a deep breath, clearly he was very tired from the fight they had done until now,the figure in front of him was...Fuu. She was being controlled by Kabuto
The only Tailed Beasts the Akatsuki had not captured yet were the Seven Tails,Chomei,the Eight Tails,Gyuki and the Nine Tails Kurama. The Seven and Nine Tails were from Konoha, and were well guarded.
Fuu was currently being controlled using the Rinnegan and Sharingan, and Ryu was being interrupted every time he tried to use his own Sharingan to interrupt the Genjutsu, so he was forced to revert to taijutsu.
"This is going to be a long fight."
And he was right.
"HAHAHAHA!" Obito laughed madly, as the Juubi was re-made, he had already given the Gunbai to Madara, and the two were sitting on top of the Juubi, who only missed the Nine Tails,Kurama to be complete.
They had used a small amount of his chakra to replace him, but it was not going to work forever, the current Juubi was still considered incomplete, and the Allied Shin.o.bi Forces wouldn"t want it to be completed.
Naruto took a deep breath, Neji had just died, his emotions were in disarray, and he couldn"t care at all about what Obito was shouting at him, he just felt empty… When suddenly, Hinata grabbed his hands.
After a few minutes of talking, he finally felt like actually fighting again, yes, he wouldn"t allow the death of one of his fellow shin.o.bis, and friends to make him feel chaotic, he"d fight the Juubi for his and the Elemental Nations sakes!
Ryu took a deep breath, it had taken a bit of time to stabilize Fuu"s condition after having the Seven Tails extracted from her, he had to fight Madara all alone, while Fuu was in danger, and he couldn"t use his G.o.d Form, and the two were evenly matched.
"Where am I…?" Fuu"s eyes widened as she woke up, her eyes looked around, only to see Ryu"s violet orbs looking at her, with worry inside them. She then relaxed,"Where are we?" She said.
"Fu…" He had a pained look on his face as he let out some words," I need to tell you something… I have been lying to everyone about something for almost forever." He bit his lower lips.
"I"m an G.o.d." He said.
Fuu smiled," I already know that dumbo… When you revealed your memories to me, several years ago, your friend and companion, Kurai also put your other memories into them, I only have recently put all of them together."
She wiped Ryu"s tears, and said," I still love you. " She then came closer to his face, and kissed him.
"YOU CAN"T SAVE EVERYONE,NARUTO!" Obito shouted as he commanded the Juubi to fire a Tailed Beast Bomb, or also called a Bijuudama at the Headquarters of the Allied Shin.o.bi Forces with a smirk on his face.
"TRY SAVING ALL OF THEM NOW!" He roared and clasped his hands together,"DIE!" He continued with another roar.
Naruto was helpless, the Juubi"s Bijuudama was on another level when compared to the other Tailed Beast"s Bijuudama, there was no hope of him even coming close to reflecting it.
"Maybe He can"t, but I can." Ryu said as he appeared out of nowhere with his hands clasped to each other,"Yggdrasil - Activate." He said with a low tone, as the world tree back at Konoha started to surge, and in a moment it had appeared in front of the Headquarters, and stopped the Bijuudama.
Ch 71
Obito growled,"You stopped a Bijuudama, but can you stop TWO?!" He roared as the Juubi gathered it"s tails, and created two Bijuudamas," I don"t think you can stop two of those! b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
He clasped his hands together even harder, and a bit of blood escaped the corner of his lips, and Madara glared at him,"Stop, do not make this get so complicated, we do not need their Headquarters to get destroyed… for now."
Obito took a deep breath, and he took a minute to calm down, and then coldly glared at the Allied Shin.o.bi Forces, Madara"s eyes narrowed,"He is slowly going out of control… I"ll need to kill him soon it seems."
Ryu groaned, Kabuto had yet to be defeated, in fact it seems Itachi and Sasuke were struggling a bit, and Itachi was wounded, and due to not him being a human, it would take a while to heal those.
The Allied Shin.o.bi Forces required help at the Juubi Front, as they were losing men every pa.s.sing moment, and Itachi and Sasuke were two valuable Kage Level Shin.o.bi, and would do great for the village
He had to take this into his own hands, he sent a Soul Clone with the power of around the peak Kage Level, comparable to Hashirama Senju, and then left for the main battlefield ,with a rather slow pace.
Everything was going in a slow pace, Ken was recovering from his fight with Madara, who he had lost due to Madara having Rinnegan, and that he did not have, while Yato was also similarly resting.
Meanwhile, he was also enjoying the little time he had with Fuu alone, after she told him he saw all of his memories, well, mostly, she did not want to separate from him at all, and it slowly became a problem , but he did not mind her presence.
It… Was difficult for him to lie to everyone, he couldn"t wait until he could reveal everything to them, over the last 12-13 years, he had grown closer and closer to his new family, and all his friends.
However, first he had to watch as Naruto and the rest defeated Obito and Madara, it was quite interesting looking at the revived Hokages, Hashirama was a quite fun person, but it seems he also slightly felt his stealth mode, it was amazing, because while he did not use his G.o.d form, it was still at a formidable level.
He had stopped a Bijuudama, however he was not going to interrupt the fight, so he just played off as if he was extremely tired from stopping that Bijuudama, which the Juubi created, since it was very powerful anyway
What came as a shock was when Obito absorbed the G.o.d Tree,The Juubi, and Madara just silently looked at the scene, not nervous, not angry, but at the moment Obito was stronger than anyone else
However,Ryu knew they could deal with him even without his help, he just knew it, his father could use the Hiraishin Mark he put on Obito 18 years ago, when he attacked Konohagakure alone.
Using that, they probably could severely damage him, however it seems it got complicated, when Madara decided to revive himself, and he used Obito"s Rinnegan to do so, and he was fully revived.
Ryu took a deep breath,"Man… I"m really getting to old for this kind of s.h.i.t,I"m over a thousand years old, include another two hundred and we can be about right." He rolled his eyes, Madara just absorbed the G.o.d Tree.
Yggdrasil was crying in pain, the G.o.d Tree was indeed filled with hatred and many other negative emotions, while Yggdrasil was a beautiful tree, which spread positive emotions like happiness to other people.
It was destroying the world, the G.o.d Tree was dangerous to this world, and Ryu would not allow it to exist for much longer, he had detested it ever since he was born, but due to his mother, he did not destroy it.
But that wouldn"t last for much longer. He looked next to him, and saw that Fuu was using his shoulder as support to sleep,his glare narrowed nervously,"She"s too close… I can feel her breath."
"G.o.d help me…" He groaned and slapped himself on the forehead a moment later, being very careful to not wake up Fuu, he did not want to face her fury, she was very picky about how and where she slept.
"I"m a G.o.d myself…" A few tears visibly escaped the corner of his eyes, and then he shook his head," I cannot focus on such stupid things for now… I need to oversee the battle going on there."
He raised his eyebrows when Madara suddenly absorbed the G.o.d Tree, and called himself the Third Sage Of the Six Paths… Or was he the second? Ah geez, Ryu did not care at all, after all he was weaker than him.
However, what intrigued him was the fact he could feel his Mother"s aura,although weak it still existed there,and he noticed Black Zetsu trying to get Obito"s Rinnegan delivered to Madara, what a snake.
He was using Madara to revive Kaguya, while the poor man thought Black Zetsu was on his side from the beginning, what an interesting situation it was,Ryu chuckled and let out a small laugh.
Black Zetsu was certainly not that smart, but he knew how to use his chances, and did not hesitate to use Madara or Obito as his p.a.w.ns, to achieve his goal of reviving his mother,Kaguya Otsutsuki.
"Black Zetsu…" Madara spewed out blood, obviously hurt at the betrayal of Black Zetsu, just a few moment ago, Naruto and Sasuke who had received the power of the Sage Of The Six Paths, fought Madara.
Madara received both Rinnegans, by stealing Kakashi"s Sharingan and sending himself into the Kamui Dimension, and taking the Rinnegan from Obito"s eyes with force, and then he used the Mugen Tsukuyomi.
The last thing he expected, was for his "will" to suddenly stab him from behind, Madara could feel his body weakening with each pa.s.sing moment, suddenly it inflated, and it exploded, revealing a figure.
Ch 72
Ryu frowned complicated emotions entering his face, varying from happiness to anger and confuse, he did not like the fact she was sealed, but of course he didn"t want to see her destroy the world either.
He then allowed his presence to show up, and Kaguya had a frown on her face,"Ryu… The only one of my three sons to ignore me, why did you allow your brothers to seal me like that, their chakra was mine from the beginning, just like yours is!"
Ryu yawned,"If I interrupted the sealing process, I wouldn"t be able to forgive myself,Mother, you basically trapped millions of people inside a dream, a hopeless dream where you were the absolute ruler, that"s no reality."
Kaguya frowned," A reality where I have all the Chakra is the best one." She sent an All Killing Ash Bone at Ryu who just created a wood pillar to block the ash bone, she created a dimension and sent another all killing ash bone at him.
This time, Ryu just jumped backwards, he looked around and saw that Sasuke and Naruto were not looking at the scene, with a flick of his fingers, the two disappeared inside his personal dimension.
"Just surrender to me, and give me your chakra, maybe I"ll let you life as an empty sh.e.l.l of my son." Kaguya said with a monotone voice, and a calm face, Ryu snorted," I do not care, mother do whatever you won"t, but do not think you can destroy this world!"
"Chakra is mine, I gave it to this world, and I shall have all of it back!" Kaguya said as she threw several more All Killing Ash Bones at Ryu who yawned and easily dodged all of them,"Mother this is too easy." He had already switched to his G.o.d form.
Ryu snorted,"Mother, all this is wrong, Chakra was created by the creator of the universe, and I have inherited his will, making me the ruler of chakra, you cannot take my chakra away, mother." He told her, who ignoring him.
Kaguya sent several All Killing Ash Bones at him, and Ryu groaned," Is this all you can do, mother? A bit disappointing." Suddenly he was throwing into a black hole, and into another dimension.
"Gravity?" Ryu mused, not even being affected by it at all, while his mother was on her knees,"It seems you made a wrong choice, mother, no gravity can affect me,the ruler of the universe." He chuckled.
.Kaguya struggled to speak, as her body was being subjected to immense gravity and pressure, Black Zetsu"s yellow eyes narrowed, he was displeased at the way Ryu was shrugging of his mother"s achievements.
Ryu sighed,"Mother, I regret not helping you when I could but… Your head is too obsessed with chakra, to be able to be helped,I am sorry." He said as he made a single hand seal,"Seal." He muttered, as Kaguya dispersed into nothing.
That included Black Zetsu, but he did not miss a single tear falling from Kaguya"s eyes, he bit his lower lips, it really hurted him to do this, but it was necessary for the future of the Elemental Nations.
Ryu took a deep breath, as tears silently fell from his eyes, he did not want to kill his own mother, but there was no other way, she was just trying to destroy this world, whom his brother had cherished.
He then created a genjutsu, where Naruto and Sasuke defeated Kaguya, and imprinted it deep into the four"s mind, Obito had to die unfortunately, so he just made it so he got killed by an All Killing Ash Bone.
He also had Danzo die from wounds, he had sided with Akatsuki in this war, and was killed by Minato in fury, Danzo was a Kage Level Shin.o.bi, but due to his old age, he was quite weak, thus he was easily killed
Basically, it was an alternate reality, in that reality, this would"ve indeed happened, as the duo, Sasuke and Naruto, were more than plenty enough to defeat Kaguya, however in this reality, he did it.
It would take a long time for him to recover from this… To seal one"s mother took a high toll on one"s body… He laughed loudly,"Is this how Hagoromo and Hamura felt when they sealed mother?"
Would he heal? Only time would tell…
Fuu pouted.
"Why do you not want to spend the rest of the day with me,Ryu-kun!" She shouted practically putting her face just next to Ryu"s, who was very uncomfortable at their current position, if one looked at them, they"d misunderstand it.
"We are in a relationship, did you forget, Ryu! No matter how important it is, can"t you spare the day just for me?" Fuu teased, kissing him in his cheeks softly, earning a blush from the boy, who laugh awkwardly.
Ryu sweatdropped,"I still have my personal s.p.a.ce,Fuu, you cannot just intrude it as if it"s yours!" He sighed, but Fuu did not respond at all, Ryu"s Violet Eyes looked at Fuu"s Orange Eyes, before the former finally sighed.
"Fine, I"ll spend the rest of the day with you,Fuu, but please leave me alone tomorrow, I have an issue I want to sole, and it"s very urgent, I can only push it to tomorrow." Ryu groaned as the teenage girl grinned.
Years pa.s.sed slowly, Ryu was now 16, Naruto had married to Hinata, and they even had a toddler, they called Boruto, and expecting another baby, a girl according to the doctors, which they would name Himawari.
Ryu and Fuu were considering marriage, the pair were in love with each other, Kushina and Minato, approved of it, and even the village thought they were a perfect pair for each other.
The day the two turned 18, they married. It was a glorious night, only Fuu knew of Ryu"s immortality, and wanted to live with Ryu for her entire life, and even asked him to turn her immortal, so they can live together forever.
During this long time, the last members of the Otsutsuki clan attacked, Toneri Otsutsuki was obsessed with the Tenseigan, whom Hamura Otsutsuki had possessed, and he wanted to get it as well, as a descendant of him.
His brother,Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, managed to defeat the teenager, his sister, Yuki also lead a happy life and married, and even had two children.
However…
Would this peace last?
"Father!" A small figure jumped on Ryu, who smirked and dodged,"You need to be way more stealthy, my little baby." The small toddler pouted, he was Ryu and Fuu"s only kid as of now, age 5.
They were expecting another kid soon, and the toddler was very excited,Kai Uzumaki, they had named him from Ryu"s uncle, Kai Uzumaki, who had unfortunately died in the fourth great shin.o.bi war.
Uzushiogakure and Konohagakure, were very close to each other, Yuki had decided to join Uzushio, and became their kage, the balance of power in the Elemental Nations was just about right.
The Tailed Beasts, were free and were no longer under the control of humans, expect Gyuki and Kurama, who had both chosen to remain with their hosts, Naruto and Killer Bee, Shukaku also still had a connection with Gaara, Chomei had also decided to stay with Fuu.
"Kachan told me that you would train me in Chakra today." Kai grinned, and Ryu sighed, revealing a frown on his face,"Kai, are you sure you want to train starting from today?" He asked.
As the son of a jinchuuriki and a G.o.d, Kai was extremely talented, he had the chakra reserves rivaling that of the Juubi"s, basically he was a living chakra being, with a physical body instead of a body like the Tailed Beasts.
"Sure… But are you sure you want to be a shin.o.bi, you know that the job of a shin.o.bi is to kill the village"s enemies, are you capable of killing, Kai?" Ryu said with a frown, Kai was very mature for his age.
The boy nodded, his green-red hair waving in the sky, his deep orange eyes showing resolution, he was very sure in his decision of becoming a shin.o.bi, Ryu could see that, and there was nothing he could do to change it.
"Let"s start then." Ryu grinned, Kai cheered.
Konoha"s future was in safe hands, the young generation took over, Ryu died from his old age, his mortal form was buried, however, he was still living happily with Fuu in his G.o.d Form...Kurai cheering them from his realm.
Would the peace of the universe last?
Who knew…
