Naruto Shippuden: Swan Song

Chapter Sixteen

Naruto’s Fate


Tsunade stares straight ahead of her target, then suddenly stops in complete terror. At first she rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t seeing things. After a while she realizes she wasn’t seeing things, it was actually him; it was Jirayia. She bit into her lip as her rage started to appear. Sakura turned around to see her sensei infuriated. Sakura turned back around, then she saw what was making Tsunade mad.

‘Oh, that’s why…’ Sakura thought to herself, she tried to walk over to Tsunade, but then Tsunade jumped really high, heading towards Jirayia’s body.

“HOW DARE YOU! YOU WILL PAY!” Tsunade roared at Pain as she tackled Jirayia.

“Sakura! Don’t lose your focus, she will be fine.” Neji yelled at Sakura to get her attention back to her objective. Sakura charged at her target at the big one, charging her chakra onto her fist.

“Take this!” Sakura yelled as she punched the fat one in the stomach. The impact sent him flying to the wall. Just before he was about to crash into the wall, he used chakra on his feet, causing him to land safely. Sakura stared at him, although she knew that this battle wasn’t going to be easy, but it kind of shocked her that the Pain body didn’t crashed onto the wall. It seems like it didn’t even phased it.

‘This isn’t going to be easy…’

****

“So, it seems like I didn’t kill you that night.. how did you survived?” Madara said as he was battling Sasuke. Kakashi activated his Mankegeyou  Sharingan, Madara only smirked at Kakashi as he kicked Sasuke away to the side.

‘It’s like I can’t even touch him, even with the Mankegyou Sharingan..’ Sasuke thought to himself as he wiped away the blood away from his mouth.

“All you are Madara is a mere shadow of what you used to be, my father’s father told me everything about you. Where’s your Mankegyou Sharingan?” Kakashi asked in a cocky way. Madara glared at Kakashi.

“I don’t need it, or to be more exact.. I can’t use it. But that’s why Sasuke is here.. Once I take his eyes, I’ll be the strongest in the ninja world.. I don’t need Pain, he’s only the poster boy. I’m the mastermind here…” Madara said to Kakashi.
“I kind of figured that was the reason you kept me alive..” Sasuke said. Madara turned around to face Sasuke. Sasuke slowly got up…

“Is that the reason why you kept me alive, to be your delivery boy, and your new brand new set of eyes? You have my team killed for your own gain, your own master plan?” Sasuke said as he got up, his eyes closed as he walked toward Madara slowly.

“Looks like you get the point… You see here, I ordered Itachi to go look for you when you killed him, he refused. But thanks to the poison I gave him, he obeyed me eventually. I wanted you to kill him, because I didn’t wanted to get my hands dirty.” Madara said to Sasuke, Sasuke lowered his eyes in shock.

“You poisoned him? Wait a minute..” Sasuke said as he was having a mini flashback, trying to remember what he said.

****

“ Sasuke… I’m giving you my power, you now have all the techniques of the Uchiha clan.. I just hope it’s enough.. to defeat him,” Itachi said to Sasuke before collapsing onto the ground.

“Defeat who?”

***

“You bastard, I knew something was up when I was fighting him.. He gave me his power for the sole purpose of defeating you. You lied to me.” Sasuke said as he finally opened his eyes, revealing his Sharingan.

“I wasn’t lying the entire time,”

“THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU LIED ABOUT YOU SONUVA BITCH!!” Sasuke roared at Madara, Madara shrugged and crossed his arms.

“Since I made you killed Itachi, and had your team killed, I guess you earned enough to know the real truth. Okay, it was me. It was me the entire time, I hypnotized the third hokage to kill off the Uchiha clan. And not only that, I also made the third hokage to bring Itachi to Akatsuki, so that’s it. It was me who framed Itachi.” Madara said to Sasuke. Sasuke was on the verge of tears, clenching his fists tightly.

“Why, why did you do that? Why? You killed your own clan, your own kind.” Sasuke said to Madara.

“The same reason why you wanted to kill Itachi, revenge. Remember that my own clan didn’t help me to take over Konoha? They left me for dead, so I carried a grudge on them for years to come.” Madara admitted to Sasuke.

“So I guess my revenge isn’t completed yet. You made me kill my brother, after I’m done with you I’ll be the last living Uchiha.” Sasuke said with his intense Sharingan eyes.

“Enough talk, I have some world conquering business to take care of.”

*****

“Gai-Sensei!” Lee shouted as he saw Gai being hit with Kisame’s sword.

‘Impossible, how can he know about that technique?’ Gai said to himself as he landed on the water, barely able to stand.

“Now, now. Where is the strong taijutsu I fought three years ago!” Kisame yelled at the beaten down Gai.

‘Three years ago.. wait a minute..’ Gai thought to himself. Then a flashback came to him..

****

“What an funny outfit, are you like an exotic beast?”

“Don’t take him lightly, Kisame.”

****

“Now I remember, I know who you are… Your name’s Kisame.” Gai said to Kisame. Kisame smirked and shrugged his shoulders while having his sword behind his head. He looked at the battered Gai while grabbing him in the process.

“Looks like death has finally lighted that dim headed mind you have. Now, let me repay the little cheap shot you gave me long ago.” Kisame said as he let go Gai, kicking him right in the face, sending him flying to the ocean.

“Now it’s time to silence this prick,” Kisame said as he made a couple of hand signs.

“Gai-Sensei.”

*******
“I guess it’s just you and me then.” Neji said to Pain. Pain ticked as he stared at Neji on top of  the statue.

“Ah, Byakugan. Eh?” Pain asked Neji.

“I’ve heard about you’re Rinnegan, it’s suppose to be the most powerful of all doujutsus.” Neji said.

“You’ve heard correctly. Now let me show you a little snippet of it.” Pain said as he closed his eyes. Neji started to run towards Pain, but just before he was about to get on the statue, Pain opened his eyes. Resulting in Neji instantly freezing himself. Neji begun to see himself, but as a mangled body held by Pain. Fear started to run in Neji’s vein’s. It felt real as he himself was beginning to bleed himself. His old wounds started to reappear, thus resulting Neji losing a lot of blood. The first wound appeared as a giant gaping hole in his shoulder.

‘My old wounds, they’re starting to reappear again. How is he doing that?’

“You’re wondering how all of this is happening, my Rinnegan brings up the past, present and future. So it looks like you are about to die, just like my eyes predicted.” Pain said as Neji collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood in large amounts. But Neji got back up instantly.

‘Naruto.. you’ve taught me how to never give into fate. Now I’m going to fight against this guy’s prediction of death..’ Neji thought to himself as he begun to bend his knees, thus making a pose. Soon after that a huge green ring appeared before Neji.

‘The trigrams.. pathetic.’ Pain thought to himself.

‘Just a little more, I need this to go at least near enough to make an attempt.’

“It’s futile. You’re not going to make it nearly in time to perform it.” Pain said to Neji. Soon Neji grinned at Pain.

“Who said I was targeting you.” Neji said as Pain was shocked by Neji’s statement.

‘He’s targeting my six bodies, if he does that..’

“Ready… 32 trigrams, 512 palms!!”

******

“Oh ho, it seems like you two gotten stronger.. still not enough to beat me though, you see unlike Pain, I have virtually no weaknesses.” Madara said to Kakashi and Sasuke. Sasuke just stared at his former master, seeing what was left of his right arm.

‘How the hell did he do that? At first it seemed like I got him trapped in my Kaleidoscope, but then at the next second, I got caught in it…’

******

“Oh, the Kaleidoscope Mankegeyou Sharingan, eh?”

“I advise you to stop talking and start running, once I got you locked in, you’re going to get a one-way ticket to the next dimension.”

‘Got ya..’ Kakashi said to himself as he finally gets a lock on Madara. Then Madara’s eyes began to burn red.

“Don’t think so!” Madara said as his arms began to wave, thus creating a strong wind, forcing Kakashi’s attack to fire back at him.

*********

“Thank goodness I got out of the attack in time. Are you alright Sasuke?” Kakashi said. Sasuke shuddered as he gave a faint nod.

“I’m fine.” Sasuke replied to Kakashi’s question.

“If you all are wondering what the hell happened, that was a technique I created years ago. It fends off any doujutsu attack and reverses it back to it’s owner.” Madara said to the flabbergasted Kakashi.

“It seems like we can’t use any doujutsu’s on this guy. Have anything else to use on this guy?” Sasuke said to Kakashi. Kakashi smiled at Sasuke with confidence.

“He only destroyed one of my arms, it’s not like I’m completely useless.” Kakashi said coyly to Sasuke.

“Chidori, right?” Sasuke said to Kakashi.

“No, no. It’s called Raikiri.” Kakashi said.

“Oh, I see what you’re planning. Don’t worry about it Kakashi, I’ll handle the hard part.” Sasuke said.

“What are you two idiots talking about, are you going to make a move or what?” Madara asked loudly to the two.

“Ready, Sasuke?” Kakashi asked Sasuke.

“Ready, let’s go!” Sasuke said as the two started to charge at Madara.

*********

“What’s with all the noise?” Naruto asked himself as he now starts to see a dim light at the end of the tunnel.

“Naruto!” someone said to Naruto as the blonde turned around to face the owner of that voice. Naruto now faced the person, it was Sakura. It appeared like she was upset, her bloodshot eyes and her sorrow puzzled Naruto.

“How can someone so pretty be so upset?” Naruto asked himself. Naruto continued on watching Sakura. Then something popped.

“… Wait, that guy I keep seeing. That’s Naruto.” Naruto said to himself as he tried to pick up the pieces of the puzzle.

“Sakura-Chan!” Said the blonde haired guy who is named Naruto. While the real Naruto stares at his self coming to Sakura’s side.

“I beg you, Naruto. Please… please bring back Sasuke.” Said Sakura to the 2nd Naruto. Now the real Naruto felt something, a quick but sharp pain passed through his heart. It feels although he felt he had a strong connection for Sakura. As he saw the 2nd Naruto looking like he was in complete agony. But then a smile came across his face. This made Naruto curious, how can someone who has been put through a lot of pain by this Sasuke, and not being able to get the same attention as Sasuke receives from Sakura, still gives a smile of care and selflessness. It boggled Naruto. It’s been quite a journey for Naruto through the darkness, and he has seen a lot of stuff. It somehow felt as though he should know these memories, but Naruto just can’t.

“You really like him, don’t you?” asked the 2nd Naruto to Sakura. This was heartbreaking to watch, Naruto’s heart now really started to hurt.

“I know how much pain you are in because of Sasuke, I can understand.” The 2nd Naruto said. Sakura began to cry more hard, the hurt that Sakura was feeling was torturing for Naruto to see.

“Naruto, thank you!” Sakura said as she hugged herself while crying hard. Then the 2nd Naruto gave a huge smile to her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll bring him back; Promise of a lifetime.”

“Promise of a lifetime? Promise of a lifetime… wait.. Wait! I made a promise to Sakura-Chan to bring that prick back to Konoha, I made that promise!”

Shockwaves waved across Naruto when he heard those words. His mind went into overdrive, something in Naruto’s mind clicked. Everything was coming back to him, then the darkness evaporated, then Naruto saw himself in the Kyuubi’s place of Naruto’s soul.

“Seems like you’re back to yourself again kid.. Unfortunately time isn’t on our side right now.. if you hadn’t notice, Akatsuki is sucking us dry. What’s our plan of action?” The Kyuubi asked Naruto. Naruto shrugged at him..

“So this is the training we went under with that old pervert? Surely you must remember what he taught you?”

“I haven’t a clue.. the only technique I can think of is THAT technique, but Jirayia told me to never use that Jutsu unless I’m absolutely certain I need it.” Naruto said to the Kyuubi.

“Well, don’t you think it’s better late then never?” The Kyuubi asked Naruto.

“But, wait a minute, didn’t Itachi said he gave us something the last time we met him?” Naruto asked himself. He pondered about it for a while, then it hit him.

“I must warn you kid, the Sharingan can control me.. so if you use me for more power, you will be controlled and be used for whatever he wants us to do. I’m talking about Madara of course.”

“I know… well for one thing, how the heck are we going to get off their lock hold of us?” Naruto asked Kyuubi.

“By the feel of the aura around your body, it feels like a plasma like chakra.. kid, the only way we can get out of here is letting me take over your body…” Kyuubi said to Naruto. But Naruto thought of something.

“That’s why he told us not to use that Jutsu, because he wanted us to use it for a last resort. It’s coming back to me now…”

******

“Naruto, make sure you are paying attention to this.. because it will be useful to you one day. It could potentially save your life.” Jirayia said to Naruto, Naruto turned around from looking at the stars.

“Ok, what is this technique called again?” Naruto asked Jirayia.

“It’s a technique that’s carried only throughout your bloodline, it doesn’t have a name. But the 4th hokage told me about your bloodline, that’s how I know it exists.” Jirayia said to Naruto.

“Is it going to be like the Rasengan?” Naruto asked Jirayia. Jirayia nodded his head no.

“No, from what the 4th hokage told me.. it’s a technique that temporarily allows you the mastery of all six types of chakra, not only that.. unlimited amount of chakra will be yours as well, additionally a sealing technique that will seal even the most powerful foe for a very long time . But here’s the catch, the bloodline limit is so powerful that it breaks any seal. You do know what happens when that happens?” Jirayia said to Naruto. Naruto looked down at his feet.

“How can I not forget, so I’m guessing I can only use it as a last resort?” Naruto asked Jirayia.

“Let’s just say if you don’t get caught by the Akatsuki, you won’t be needing it.”

******

“So you’re bloodline consists of the Namikaze’s.. I knew I smelled that blood around here.. so you’re telling me if we use your bloodline limit,”


“Exactly, but.. I just can’t do it..” Naruto said. This angered the Kyuubi very much. He knew the reason why Naruto wouldn’t do it.

“LOOK HERE!!! You have a choice to make, let that guy complete his goal and kill everyone and everything in this world, or let me out and destroy less. Either way kid, you’re going to see blood shed. What’s it going to be?” Kyuubi yelled at Naruto, but Naruto can only grin at the Kyuubi, Naruto knew there was only one more option left, and it wasn’t exactly the happily ever after option, but it would let the others live and leave Akatsuki fall short of their plan.

“There is one option…” Naruto said to the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi eyes widened in wonder of what Naruto was planning.

“So, what is it? What’s your grand master plan?” The Kyuubi asked Naruto with sarcasm. Naruto grimaced at the thought of this idea. It send chills throughout his body. It will mean the end of everything Naruto had ever worked so hard for. But it wasn’t the ideal time to be thinking about himself right now, the fate of Konoha and the ninja world was on his shoulders.

“Sacrifice ourselves.”
