part two do consider to subscribe my channel and Share my video to your friends and check out the description as well let's start the video Naruto what is going on with you why do I have this ominous feeling every time your name comes into mind sunate thought with concern vigorously bidding on the nail on her right thumb and frustration a habit she had picked up since even before her gen days it was only yesterday in the late afternoon that jera and nuto had returned and everything had looked perfectly normal sure Naruto had grown a lot taller and his physical conditioning had visibly improved to a great extent sure he had changed his outfit now wearing a black sleeveless top black Shinobi pants white bandages around his ankles blue ninja sandals and a red Hy with black Flames licking the bottom edges yes soon had realized immediately that Naruto had grown up a bit both physically and mentally but still it had seemed that both Ura and nuto hadn't changed it much to her at least not personality wise had prepared for this day beforehand she and everyone else who knew about his return had been excited to see just how much the blonde uzamaki had grown over the last two and a half years that was why tun had prepared this particular test she'd intended for Sakura and Naruto to team up against Kakashi as a test of their skill and development it came as a bit of a surprise when Naruto insisted on taking Kakashi on his own but after regaining her barrings suned realized that it wasn't enti irely out of character for Naro to get carried away like that after all this was the same person who had challenged ason namely herself to a death match even though he had been nothing but a rookie jennin at the time naturally Sakura had been disappointed that nuto didn't want her involved perceiving the situation as if Naruto thought that she was still the weak little girl from three years ago who would only get in his way or get herself killed this served to infuriate her and lash out violently at the blonde yamaki that's when things started to get strange the old nuto would have taken the beating and graveled at the pink-haired chuan's feet pleading for forgiveness and even asking her out on a date R after the assault on his person but this Naruto only dodged her attack formed an instant one-handed renan and directed it towards his medic teammate's face stopping the spiraling sphere an inch away from her nose all in an instant he' followed that up by threatening her with death should she ever attack him again quoting that attacking a fellow koha Shinobi without just cause was in violation of Shinobi regulations and could be punishable by death all of this said with ning calm and dangerous tone leaving almost no doubt that the 15-year-old had every intention of following through with his threat should Sakura assault him again that's when tun had realized that something was horribly wrong she dismissed everyone even shizun and jera so that she can have a private word with Naruto it didn't sit well with her that her Apprentice had almost died right in front of her eyes almost killed by her own surrogate brother who was actually a real blood relative to her even though he did not know it or so she thought nuto had simply told her that he no longer harbored any romantic feelings for her apprentice and didn't feel like he needed or wanted to tolerate her abuse anymore stating that he loved another woman and had every intention of pursuing a relationship with her naturally sunade wanted to know who this woman was and even found herself angry at Naruto for loving another woman that wasn't her Apprentice part of the reason she had trained Sakura was because he practically begged her to help Sakura and because she herself thought that they might have a future together also she now saw Sakura as more than a student but almost like her own daughter so Naro to blatantly disregard her like that really pissed her off however the blonde uzamaki would have none of it making it clear that he would not be forced into a relationship with someone he didn't love nor would he even pretend to love her the blonde uzamaki was even bold enough to outright tell the Hokage that who he loved or who he had a relationship with was none of her business leaving a frustrated and pissed off tune to try and figure out on her own who this mysterious woman was of course her first guess was Hinata maybe nuto had finally realized how much the Shai hauga Eris loved and admired him and subsequently returned her feelings it was the only person she could think of right now in any case Naruto's romantic Affairs were soon proven to be the least of her concerns a conversation with Ura where she had consulted him with the hopes of finding out what really happened and that two and a half year training trip would reveal something far more troubling than the blonde uzumaki's love affairs something possibly even more troubling than the akitsuki and its movements at least it seemed like it was to her and even jera apparently jera only met nuto yesterday afternoon at the main gate for the first time in 26 months according to jera Naruto disappeared Without a Trace four months into their training trip leaving no Trail to follow and not even leaving a note or a sign of any sort behind as reassurance naturally sunade wanted to know how relatively inexperienced jenin could not only escape a spy Master sannon but to continuously elude him for more than two years jerus stated that he did not know how Naruto did it exactly but did mention the possibility that Naruto had somehow found another Summoning contract this Jura said was because Naruto's name had disappeared from not only the toad registration list but even from the Summoning contract itself he explained that if his name had simply disappeared from the register then it could have been reasonably assumed that akitsuki captured him and killed him during or after the bju extraction but because it also disappeared from the contract itself then it meant that nuto actually canceled the toad Summoning contract by signing another contract in which case it would also explain why he was able to disappear Without a Trace he probably escaped through space time technique namely a reverse summoning technique making it impossible to track down his whereabouts especially without knowledge of which summoning creatures he was currently aligned with d also stated that Naro probably timed their reunion so that they could meet specifically at the main gate so that he wouldn't have a chance to interrogate him about his whereabouts and activities during their separation He also mentioned that Naruto had not once referred to him as Sensei or shishio since they United and rather used honorifics such as Dono or Sama theorizing that Naruto no longer can considered him to be his Sensei and that the cancellation of the toad contract was symbolic of Naruto breaking away from any connections with him Ura also noted that it was possible that Naruto no longer held on to any bond that the two of them might have shared before their departure as Naruto no longer used the affectionate nickname Meo senon to address him anymore the only thing that jera was able to ascertain without a doubt was that if Naruto indeed spent all his time in the summoning realm then he would have had special training from his new Summoners and was bound to be much stronger than he was before they split up part also jera theorized that Naro was smarter and a lot more manipulative than he seemed stating that Naro probably knew that his pride as a San and and an elite Shinobi wouldn't allow him to immediately report his failure also Naruto probably thought that Jura would rely on his spy Network and his own Espionage skills to track him down instead of reporting back to koha giving him ample time to do whatever it is that he wanted to do in the two and a halfe time frame jera also pointed out that another reason for meeting up with him just before he reached koha was possibly because Naro was hoping that he would be too scared to tell her what happened and rather keep it a secret for his own sake basically to avoid a beating from her and to protect his own reputation needless to say both jera and sunade found themselves having to rethink and re-evaluate every interaction they had with nuto prior to his departure to try and figure out which parts were lies and which parts were Naruto's real character as they realized that they might actually know nothing at all about who he really is and what he what he is capable of in any case sunate decided to invite the whole koha to watch Naruto's battle with Kakashi she wanted to see how he interacted with his old friends and she also wanted to question each and every one of them after the battle maybe they as his friends would be able to read his character or to ascertain If there really was something wrong with him their testimonies would come in handy as expected all of them were more than eager to see how much the blonde uzamaki had improved over the last 2 and a half years some were just generally excited to see him again that was perhaps why there was a full house attendance at Team 7's training grounds you've caused quite a bit of a stir since your return nuto every one of your friends has come here just to see how much you have developed over the past two and a half years however you're in way over your head if you think you can beat me on your own Naruto you're seriously underestimating me the cashi said with a deadly glare his single visible eye his right eye narrowing at the blonde with intensity Bashi I would suggest that you use your Sharingan from the beginning otherwise this battle will not be worth my time that is to say if you wish to survive this battle you will take this seriously I'm only going to give you this Cassi Once In the End whether to heed my warning or not is entirely up to you Naruto said stly he's completely different from the Naruto from before perhaps yesterday's incident with Sakura was not an isolated incident after all Kakashi thought wearily also he's had special one-on-one training from one of the sannon for two and a half years I suppose he's right in one thing I shouldn't underestimate him Kakashi thought in all honesty though Kakashi didn't underestimate any opponent anymore not since he was easily captured in zabuza's water Prison 3 years ago he'd learned his lesson back then nothing teaches you a good lesson than someone humiliating you in front of your own students just because he hadn't revealed his Sharingan yet did not mean that he was underestimating his opponent what he was actually trying to do was to gather int tell about his opponent the old Naruto would have just like this one taken the lack of Sharingan use as if he was being looked down upon except whereas the old nuto would have had a fit about it and insisted that Kakashi use his Sharingan while being distracted and consequently making silly mistakes as a result this one was rather apathetic about it and didn't really seem to care whether the Sharingan was used against him or not he also seemed much more focused and didn't seem to be the type to become easily distracted from his goal not to mention how much less vocal he appeared to be compared to his old self however nothing has been proven yet let's see how long he can keep this up Kakashi thought with a mixture of mischief and analytic prous well I'm not really sure anymore if you're just underestimating me or overes yourself but I guess we'll find out soon enough in any case the same rules as the last time are still in effect you have to get the two bells on my waist before the dawn remember if you don't attack with the intent to kill then you'll never be able to defeat me thehi said with the utmost seriousness as his chakra and killing intent flared up in anticipation of the battle to come Naruto mimicking him as well in preparation for battle his chakra flaring up and his intent to murder spiking up rapidly the energy released by the T shobi was so intense that ominous Breeze picked up all all of a sudden around the training ground causing dust and leaves to levitate and move around the Battleground thakra and killing intent can be a good way to judge a Shinobi skill and focus if this is anything to go by the nanik Kakashi trailed off in Surprise as a gigantic and round Shadow came over and around him getting larger and larger in every Split Second that went by the copy nin's head snapped up immediately so fast that it almost looked like his neck had dislocated from its position temporarily there was no way to describe the copy nin's emotional state as a reaction to what his lone ey perceived if he wasn't mistaken then what he saw could only be described as a renan 50 times the size of a normal renan if not even bigger than that it was so large that he couldn't even see anything else but a gigantic spiraling sphere the Jutsu filling up his entire line of sight in a sea of spiraling blue Joe adamaris sangan Kakashi heard in a voice that he recognized as belonging to narudo of course he couldn't actually see the cter of the Jutsu behind that monstrously huge sphere but it was a safe bet to say that Naruto was at the other end of the sphere circumference a sphere that was on a crash collision course with him at devastating speed [ __ ] Kakashi exclaimed using the shunin technique to propel himself forward in a desperate ploy to evade the attack jumping sideways or backwards would not have worked as the ball was too large and coming too fast for him to get away in time a shunin technique was the only way out but shun shining backwards or sideways was not possible at least not at the speed required to evade the oncoming technique leaving Kakashi with only the option of traveling in a straightforward line as a mean means of Escape so predictable Naro thought neutrally although a little surprised at how Kakashi easily fell for his trap because in that instant that Kakashi took his eyes away from him to look at his clone's aerial assault Naruto had instantly created a shadow clone grabbed it by its left arm while the Clone formed an instant renan on its right arm and thrown it violently in the direction that he accurately predicted that Kakashi would use to escape his technique as [ __ ] Kakashi cursed with wide eyes as another Naruto came flying at him at blinding speeds with a renan pointed towards his abdomen Kakashi's own shunin speed combined with the clone's own flying speed was so much that he had absolutely no time to react at all as the Clone crashed into him with devastating effect bengan Shadow clone nuto exclaimed as he rammed the spiraling sphere into the copy Ninja's abdomen with all his power before poofing out of existence jigu Kakashi cried out in agony as the force of the Jutsu blasted him back at incredible speed all of it happening so fast that he crashed into the side of the giant spiraling sphere that he was originally running away from as it connected with the Earth causing a massive explosion that sent chunks of debris flying all over the battlefield a giant crater forming where the attack crash landed as the rest of the landscape became concaved and reshaped by the effects of the explosion destroying the landscape in a manner not too different from the effects of one of tsunade's superpowered punches thear sengan with his own chakra T that's impossible how can he pull of something like that without using Sage Mode I would understand if he was using the caob chakra but he was isn't even using that jera thought Eyes Wide in shock and disbelief jera is something like that supposed to be possible sunate demanded giving the toad Sage a look that said speak up of else then no it's not supposed to be I can do it myself too but only when I enter Sage Mode it should be impossible for a human to produce that kind of chakra jera answered now adopting a serious and contemplative expression but Jama what about that other chakra couldn't he do it with that shizun asked tentatively be wasn't using any external chakra source and he certainly wasn't using that other chakra as well otherwise I would have perceived it with my Bakugan nii cut in before jera could respond shocking the three Elder Shinobi considerably all three looking amongst each other with nervous and questioning Expressions I saw it when we fraud in the chuin exams I obviously went and did my research afterwards don't worry I haven't spoken to anyone except Tashi Sama about it nii said as if talking merely about the day's weather conditions causing the three Elder Shinobi to breathe out in relief in any case Naro always had a ridiculous amount of chakra density and capacity also with my Bakugan I have seen just how abnormal the size of his chakra coils is given those three conditions Naruto should theoretically have the ability to pull something like that off with the correct level of chakra control probably he didn't have the control to do it 3 years ago but he certainly does now nii explained with a regular hyuga stoic expression giving away none of his feelings or emotions regarding the matter but that wasn't even the real Naruto how can a mere clone pull something like that off shizun wondered out loud I don't think any of you truly understand just how vast nark reserves are let me put it like this just pretend that Naro has unlimited reserves maybe if you think like that you might be able to understand a little better niji said evenly I see I guess it does make sense but how could Naro have gained such a level of control in such a short space of time given how horrible his chakra control was just two years ago it's quite hard to believe that he could have subdued his chakra to that extent in such a short time span sunate said bidding once again on her thumb in concentration and a little frustration I would have thought your Asama would have the answer to that after all wasn't he the one that was training him for the last 2 and a half years niiji asked rhetorically I see was all the haugaa said as he directed his eyes back to the battlefield leaving the rest of the koha 10 who were listening to the conversation more than a little confused by the words spoken in the relatively short four-way conversation it would seem that my comrades are keeping dangerous secrets to themselves sheo and even human logic tells me that this is normal behavior yet why am I still surprised this is completely illogical I shouldn't be feeling like this rather I should focus on uncovering nuto Secrets it will however prove to be a rather difficult task with my destruction bugs weariness of getting close to Naruto thought an uncharacteristically emotional Shino feeling slightly hurt that he was seemingly being left out of the loop once again so I'm not the only one who figured out nut's secret about the caoi I suppose this shouldn't be entirely unexpected nii is a once in a genation hyuga genius after all also he's actually had a direct confrontation with the cau's power and chakra before it was only a matter of time before he figured it out shikim thought I don't know what's going exactly but I'm smelling felt play everywhere around me something big is about to happen I can feel it my instincts are going haywire kba thought wearily what the hell are they talking about and how the hell does niiji know what's going on and more importantly Naruto Sakura trailed off with a worried expression as she trained her eyes back on the battlefield an ominous feeling settling at the pit of her stomach not unlike the one she had on the days preceding sasukes departure a feeling that had her on the verge of tears instantly no I can't think like that Naruto would never do that would he thought Sakura the memory of Naruto almost blasting her head off with a renan flashing in front of her eyes suddenly no he promised he'd return sasu to me Naruto never goes back on his word Naruto would never leave his friends behind he wouldn't Sakura screamed mentally trying valiantly to crush the doubts and insecurities that were threatening to consume her Sakura you've been acting strange since nuto returned what happened yesterday Eno thought with a concerned frown as she watched a different expressions and emotions morphing into her friend's face B cheeri shaped the whole landscape with that Jutsu alone and completely destroyed my shadow clone if I don't use my shingan I'll really die here without a doubt Kakashi thought with half of his body sticking out of the Earth where he had originally been hiding under the surface of the Earth but was now exposed due to the Damage Done to the landscape you have nowhere to hide now Kakashi Naruto said matter of factly staring down at the copy ninja with complete apathy you're right Naruto I won't hold back anymore or rather I can't afford to hold back anymore I'm going to be serious from now on Kakashi said pushing up the part of his forehead protector that was shielding his left eye revealing a red eye with three tamos circling around it as he jumped out and onto the surface of the Battleground he killed clone so easily with a well thought out battle plan involving only two of his shadow clones in the past his plans required a minimum of 10 clones in order to effectively distract his opponent enough to gain an opening but now he only needs one or two to do the job he's not just a Powerhouse with unlimited chakra on a flashy Jutsu anymore he actually fights with the efficiency of someone who needs to preserve his energy someone like me considering that he doesn't actually need to conserve that energy that makes him an even more dangerous opponent Kakashi thought wearily no that's not all he also didn't seem surprised that the one he killed was just a shadow clone nor was he surprised to see me hiding underneath the Earth meaning he probably already knew that he was fighting a clone to begin with this might actually be a lot harder than I initially thought it would be Kakashi thought analytically using your Sharingan now huh that's good this should have the time it would have taken for me to take the Bells from you Naruto said casually as if his words alone were enough to morph and shape reality to his bidding half a time it would have taken what does that mean I see thought Kakashi with wide eyes the memory of the time he fainted right in front of his students after overusing the Sharingan in his fight with abusa flashing momentarily in front of his eyes so that's what he was really after he wasn't really concerned with me underestimating him or not he just wanted me to use the Sharingan so that I can burn myself out before Dawn this is because he knows he can easily Outlast me or anyone for that matter knowing this I can't simply defend the bells anymore that will just play me into his hands I'll have to attack and defeat him cleanly in order to win this game Kakashi thought eyes narrowing slightly with determination I see Naro you have indeed grown into a fine Shinobi but as your sense say I still have a lot to teach you lesson number one to Jutsu Kakashi exclaimed as he propelled himself at the blonde uzamaki with impressive speed launching a right hook at his student chin aruto ducked under the punch spun around to his right hand side and sent a back spinning kick aimed for the back of Kakashi's head on the right side these fast k cashi thought in Surprise unable spin around to block the attack because of the momentum from his missed attack but luckily thanks to that same momentum was able to duck under the assault following that by twisting rapidly with a sweeping kick aimed at Naruto's grounded left leg however at the very last second Naruto was able to generate all the power from that single grounded leg to propel himself upwards vertically twisting himself in midair and executing an axe kick that was aimed for his joone in sensei's head Bashi realizing the danger made a cross armu over his head head and successfully stopped the blonde uzumaki's attack only for nuto to create an instant and seal less Shadow clone on the copy nin's blind spot the Clone appearing already in a sweeping movement that was aimed at taking out the copy nin's legs from right under his body Bashi reacting instantly to the danger gathered chakra to his arms and pushed the original off of his body and followed that up by quickly jumping over the Clone sweeping right leg twisting and readjusting himself horizontally and Swinging his right elbow downwards towards the clone's head however that was his biggest stake as another Shadow clone manifested in the space above the sweeping clone using its counterpart shoulder as foot stool to propel itself above Kakashi as it quickly delivered the exact same attack that the copy nin intended to use on the other depel Ginger delivering a crushing elbow blow on the copy nin spine that sent him crashing into the ground face first another clone manifested next to the depel ginger that delivered the blow grabbed its arm and swung it towards the Fallen copin with massive force and speed before poofing away leaving a cloud of smoke where it used to be the remaining depel Ganer formed a normal-sized renan and rammed it into the copy Ninja's back or at least tried too only for Kakashi to escape with a substitution technique leaving a log in his place that was smashed into a pile of splinters a split second later substitution technique the depel Ganer thought before disappearing with a puff of smoke sending the information and every other experience it had in its short existence back to the original Naruto first the substitution technique and now he's using stealth to keep himself hidden hn guess I'll have to Earth release double suicide decapitation technique Kakashi whispered his hand instantly shooting out of the ground with the intent to grab onto the blonde uzumaki's right ankle bind style wind circulation Naruto whispered releasing a whirling minic Cyclone from his left leg that completely shredded the copy nin's hand just as it wrapped around his ankle the puff of smoke is a result however alerting the blonde immediately that the copy n had only been another Shadow clone it seems that supplementary Ninjutsu and to Jutsu alone isn't going to be be enough to take you down after all Naruto Kakashi said using the hiding like AAL technique to protrude his body from the ground and subsequently jumping out a short but not too close distance away from the blonde uzamaki how's your back doing Naruto asked simply throwing the fact that he was able to draw First Blood at the copy ninja Mama I've survived worse than this Kakashi replied with faint nonchalance scratching the back of his head sheepishly with a trademark ey smile displayed on his facial features I suppose Naruto replied uncaringly B to Jutsu is outstanding the Sharingan is better at predicting linear movements than circular and indirect movements Naruto seems to have knowledge of this and makes sure to never use linear attacks also his ability to not only create instant and seal less Shadow clones but to also manifest them in stances and positions of his own imagination means that he can Corner his opponents and attack them directly on their blind spots after all the Sharingan can't predict an attack it cannot see coming he must have learned this from his past battles with sassy Bashi contemplated analytically also molding chakra outside any part of your body except your hands takes an incredible amount of skill and chakra control yet he was able to not only execute it but to do it almost instantaneously on his right leg Naruto what kind of monster are you turning into Kakashi thought worriedly in any case there's no use in trying to fight him at close range his shadow clone Mastery and synchronization is a perfect counter to my Sharingan I'll have to attack him from mid and long range Kakashi decided with fiction lesson number two jinjutsu Kakashi said making direct eye contact with the blonde uzamaki as the Tamo in his left eye spun around his pupil menacingly as soon as the jinjutsu activated Naruto's eye turned blood red with a black slit manifested in the pupil his finger and toenails grew longer and sharper and his canines became elongated a menacing Apparition of the nine-tailed demon Fox appeared behind the blonde uzamaki with its right claw wrapped around the blonde uzumaki's body W what the what's going on all of sudden Kashi wondered out loud the fox apparitions left ear twitched slightly at the copy nin's words releasing the blonde Uzumaki and charging at the copin with blinding speed the fox opened its small wide in order to swallow the copy ninja only to disappear shortly before delivering the killing blow the atmosphere became lighter all of a sudden the fox disappeared and Naruto's body seemed to have returned to normal all of a sudden eyes no longer red canines no longer elongated and Nails no longer sharpened at least not as much as they were a few moments ago the J Jutsu but how wait that was a counter jinjutsu stopping or dispelling a jinjutsu is one thing but it takes great skill to reverse a jinjutsu on the user but how is this even possible Naruto was a complete dud when it comes to jinjutsu is this really him or is it the fox is doing Kakashi thought frantically you were able to see through my jinjutsu counter you have yourself a good eye indeed but for how long can you keep this up Naruto asked condensing you're not the only one that has been training over the past couple of years everyone has been improving themselves myself included Kakashi said simply I see well in that case narudo trailed off menacingly as two Shadow clones poofed into existence right next to him one on his left and one on the right hand side the original Naruto formed a renan on his right hand while the Clone on his right hand side immediately started weaving wind chakra into the sphere using both its hands for control and balance of the technique the Clone on his left hand side kept its eyes trained on the copy ninja to prevent him from interference and to take note of any tricks that he might have up his sleeves dutin Rass and shuriken Naruto announced with his hand held high above his head a renan surrounded by spiraling wind blades levitated above his palm he combined his renan with wind chakra he completed the renan impossible jeros Sama what kind of training did you put nuto through Kakashi pondered nervously guo > have to leave the questions for another time it will be over if that thing even touches me I'll have to fight at long range to keep him away from me Kakashi thought he probably expects me to try and get close to him in order to administer the technique naturally this is because that is how the normal renan works and because people don't expect someone to be able to control such a massive chakra from a distance that would be his downfall Naruto thought confidently High Style Grand Fireball technique Kakashi exclaimed after blazing through the hand seals at Breakneck speeds launching a giant Fireball from his lips that flew at Great speeds towards the blonde uzamaki he using fire style to exploit the weakness of wind Jutsu and exploit the complimentary properties of the two affinities namely he's trying to use my Ras and shuriken against me a good idea however Naruto trailed off as he threw the Rasen shuriken with all his might the spiraling shuriken sliced right through the Grand Fireball not only that but the blades on the shuriken also caught fire from the copin nin's Jutsu turning the Jutsu into a spiraling Inferno the Jutsu is only as strong as its user and a fire Jutsu can only trully overpower a wind Jutsu of the same rank using a B- rank Jutsu against an S rank Jutsu is not going to do you any good also the RAS and shuriken dismantles humans and objects alike at a molecular level even if fire Jutsu can be dismantled with the correct application of the Jutsu rest in peace had a Kakashi burito thought triumphantly it dismantled my Jutsu and the wind blades were ignited by the grand Fireball not only that but how is he controlling such a massive chakra from a distance kuzo this must surely be an s-rank Ninjutsu Kakashi thought in horror jumping to the side at the last possible moment to void contact with the spiraling shuriken H you're not getting away that easily Naruto thought giving the mental command for the shuriken to expand and explode immediately it's over the copy ninja is no more Naruto thought victoriously two weeks later it's been two weeks now since my battle with Kakashi a battle of mysteries and discoveries Kakashi told me to attack with the intent to kill and everybody the Hokage included heard him say that and so I did exactly that knowing well that I couldn't possibly be arrested for doing what my d direct senior officer instructed me to do after all this is the exact same reasoning that was used to excuse me of stealing the Forbidden Scroll of seals when I was still a jenin oh wait a minute I am still a jenin aren't I he how ironic in any case my attempt at assassinating Kakashi was a failure it seems that the copy ninja had a few secrets of his own he apparently has what Karama has explained to me as the Mano Sharingan and that Mano Sharingan seems to Grant him the ability to manipulate space and time Kakashi was able to open a space time Vortex that transported my Ras and shuriken to another dimension apparently the name of the technique is camui the Jutsu as expected took a lot out of him he almost looked like he was about to pass out any moment as soon as he used it I decided that I had to see the technique at least one more time so that I can know exactly what I'm up against also so that he can possibly die of chakra exhaustion this time I unsealed a windmill shuriken from a seal on my wrist used a vacuum style to infuse it with wind chakra and threw it at him with all my power naturally Kakashi prepared himself to LEAP away from the attack but that didn't really matter I was able to make hundreds of shuriken copies 300 exactly using the shuriken Shadow clone technique which essentially left Kakashi with the impossible task of dodging that many wind infused windmill shurikens he had no choice but to use the Cami ability again surprisingly the copycat was still able to keep his ground after using that Jutsu he has a lot more willpower than I gave him credit for but I knew he would once again fall for my trap and naturally he did it's really not his fault it isn't that he's stupid or anything in fact all he did was what any smart Shinobi would do in that situation Retreat ragging your strength and bearings and then come up with a plan of action problem with that is I like to put myself in the shoes of a smart person when I heard that Kakashi would be my opponent I automatically knew that our battle would take place in training ground seven in fact he even confirmed this suspicion by telling me to meet him there at 5:00 a.m. the following morning at night I went and set all all sorts of traps in the forest surrounding ing the training ground some were explosive tag related traps some even involved exploding Shadow clones there were enough traps around that training ground to destroy a whole Battalion of Shinobi in the end Kakashi triggered most of the traps as I just stood at the center of training ground seven and listened by the time the noise stopped Kakashi was in a ComEd State and required immediate medical attention or he would have died in less than 10 minutes sunade was able to save him frankly I was disappointed that he survived I was really hoping that he would die after all it won't be too often that I get a chance to kill a kenoh Shinobi without it actually constituting a crime as expected I was reprimanded despite the technical legality of my actions apparently the old nuto would not have done something like that no matter what the circumstances I received many different looks Sakura hanada chaoji shizun Lee and Eno looked at me with disbelief gurai assuma jera guy Tenten Shino Kiba and shikim with suspicion sunade with anger and disappointment and nii with simple curiosity my friends are now weary of me and try to avoid me at all costs maybe they believe that I will feel bad and apologize for what I did but I won't I actually like that they are avoiding me this only makes it easier for me to conduct my business without interference nii is the only one I have spoken to from the koha 10 since that day that is because he was one of two people that I actually returned to koha for no matter how strong a man becomes he can't be an island all on his own My ultimate goal is to rebuild Whirlpool but there are too many threats that need to be eliminated before I can commence with that mission right now what I need is a four-man team I can't destroy akitsuki and koha on my own I will need allies actually rather I have found allies niji has agreed to leave koha with me he was not very hard to convince after all I did remove his cage bird seal for him it was surprisingly easy sure learning yamaki clan fuinjutsu in the old Whirlpool ruins was behind my ability to help niji but really any decent seal Master could have figured this out although I guess it would have taken them years rather than the two days it took me really most seal Masters are novices compared to the Uzumaki Clan nii will help me destroy koha and the main branch of the hyuga clan in return I will remove the Cage Bird seal from his Kinsmen and they will be allowed to join Whirlpool with niji as the clan head this in turn means that I will have fulfilled my promise to abolish The Cage Bird system and change the fate of the hyuga clan of course all of this will only happen after he has helped me destroy the akitsuki there is no fixed date for our departure I am thinking that maybe I can exploit both koha and akitsuki for as long as possible before permanently severing my ties akitsuki want kurarama and koha want to hold on to kurarama I plan to use these two facts to get akitsuki and koha to weaken each other after all with those directly conflicting motives they are bound to clash with each other sooner rather than later also this will give me a chance to gauge my true strength against the Akatsuki well I still have the backing of koha so that I can determine whether I am ready to break free or if I still need to rely on koha that leaves just one recite karami akumo koha have been keeping a tight leash on me since I returned sunate has doubled the security and surveillance on me for two reasons one the impending threat of the akitsuki but more importantly because I seem to have become a flight risk that must be carefully watched she may drink a lot but she's quite good at her job I'll give her that at least in any case I haven't been able to see karami yakumo in person I don't want to push it too far yakumo is considered as an S-Class Flight Risk in danger to koha us befriending each other would not have been of too much concern to tunate and jera in the past danzo and the elders would have been concerned regardless but not those two now however things are different no one trusts me anymore everyone is on edge as if waiting for me to self-destruct or something can't blame them for that I guess in any case just because we haven't met up in person doesn't mean that we haven't actually met up I've sent Shadow clones to her place on more than one occasion I was surprised at her coldness towards me apparently she did didn't even know about my training trip and assumed that I had abandoned her like everyone else in her life I don't think I've ever felt so sad and angry at myself because now that I think about it I actually did abandon her and only started thinking about her when I started thinking about companions to help me survive and thrive in my quest the pain was so unbearable I couldn't stop crying I felt like a hypocrite I behaved just like the koha scums that I seek to destroy that will never happen again though I w't make the same mistake I don't know if the tears helped or not but I'm glad that I was able to reach yumo Chan's heart again we have talked a lot about the future and how we plan to get there she knows about nii and our fourth member as well we all have something that connects us together we have all felt the pain of hate loneliness and oppression that is the bond that will make us surpass all other teams and organizations before us akumo Chan has revealed a lot of interesting facts about herself and her time spent in the last 3 years I found out that the Ido demon was not completely destroyed and in fact cannot be completely destroyed this is because Darkness itself cannot be completely vanquished in a person's heart should that person feel the pain of loss loneliness and betrayal again Darkness will always be reborn in said person's heart kurai and I hurt abandoned and betrayed yukumo all over again and that gave birth to a renewed hatred in her heart the good thing now is that she has now conquered and subdued that Darkness she now has full control of her own powers in other words she is not controlled by hatred but uses it to her own Advantage she is at another level altogether now naturally I had to ask why she hadn't used that power to escape koha and live the life she wanted to live the answer was unexpected and heart-wrenching to say the least I felt so bad for even asking such a question I should have known better after all this was exactly how I felt before I found out about my Origins the truth of the matter is that yukumo had absolutely nowhere to go even if she escaped she didn't have any friends to go to and she didn't know anyone outside these walls if she went to another Village there was no guarantee that they wouldn't treat her just as bad as Keno had or even worse also her physical condition was another detriment she didn't know how far her body would be able to carry her still it seemed that she was still interested in leaving koha because she was studying the Medical Arts in her spare time in order to find a cure for herself fortunately I had already made provision for something like this this is because of my bloodline limit yes that is why I was able to cure yakumo Chan's condition the sage of the Six Paths had an affinity for all five nature Transformations but what many don't know is that is an actual Sixth Element the yin-yang release otherwise known as creation of all things even those who know about this element have no idea how to actually harness it the sage had an affinity for this element and was the only one who has ever completely mastered it there are so many applications and different ways to use this Affinity that it would take entire lifetimes to completely Master it without renan and even then it would require an exceptionally talented individual to completely Master many bloodline Clans in fact most bloodline Clans have the ability to use a limited version of this ability my first real opponent mamachi Yuki Haku was able to combine water and wind nature to create the ice release because of his Clan's ability to subconsciously use yin-yang release in that manner one of my other opponents kimra was able to subconsciously use yinyang release to create and replace lost Bones from his chakra using a different application of the creation of all things but the uzamaki clan things are slightly different our bloodline limit doesn't limit us to a specific application of the creation of all things Techni we have an affinity for yin-yang release in its purest form and can therefore use it in a manner of each individual's choosing my mother was able to use it in the form of indestructible chakra suppression chains that also served as a medium for her ceiling and barrier Jutsu in the past many uzamaki clan members have used this ability in many different ways some for jinjutsu some for medical Ninjutsu some like my mother to complement their ceiling and barrier Jutsu and some like me to compliment their Ninjutsu I have a lightning affinity for my father and a wind Affinity from my mother and I have used my yin-yang Affinity to combine those two affinities and created a new release the Swift release but that is not all I met my mother inside my seal when I wanted to take control of karam's chakra and she taught me her chakra chain technique she was so happy to hear about my goal to rebuild whirlpool and said it was the least she could do to help me on my quest we parted on Happy terms and I have never felt so loved as I did when I was with her if there is a way to properly Resurrect The Dead I will find it eventually and I will resurrect her I simply can't let go my father on the other hand was a completely different story apparently he set the seal up so that he can see my whole life through the seal as a result he unlike my mother knows about my plan to destroy koha for its betrayal to Whirlpool country and is part of the deal I made with kurarama he refused to help me destroy koha that really pissed me off I was really looking forward to learning the horatian no Jutsu I had so many plans for that technique but I guess it wasn't to be part of the reason I created the Swift release however was because I couldn't learn that technique but I do realize the importance of speed and reaction time and I have worked hard to enhance those abilities still teleportation is a lot more convenient than speed and there are so many ways to use it me I had a backup plan should the situation call for it not the most noble of methods but who cares it's convenient enough Shadow clone training has been of great use to me I have not only managed to learn medical Ninjutsu from shamari's chameleon Clan but I have managed to integrate my yin-yang release into my Jutsu this has granted me the ability to regenerate wounds at high speeds not only that but it has given me the ability to cure yumo Chan's disease V Jutsu is even Superior to tunate and Kabuto self-healing techniques yin-yang is the power of creation through the Right medical application even body parts can be destroyed and recreated that is how yakumo Chan was cured in any case kazaki gar of the sand was captured by the akitsuki Recently I was surprised that koha would even allow me to leave the village after all that suspicion but I guess they had no choice I defeated Kakashi after all and I am a jinu rii also I know tunate and jera as well as I think I do then they probably instructed Kakashi and Sakura to keep an eye on me and take note of every movement I make they know that I can't hold back against opponents of akatsuki's caliber and probably want to gather Intel on any abilities I might still be hiding I have to give them credit they are very shrewd individuals I gave away so much about myself in my fight with Kakashi I even used Ray and shuriken if they really do suspect that I am still holding back after all that then they are absolutely spoton haha however I am even smarter than that I bet Kakashi and Sakura no actually I know Kakashi and Sakura were surprised when I didn't follow darara when he flew away with G's corpse in fact Kakashi tried to get me to go with him and leave Sakura behind with Shob basama however I had a good excuse already gar was closest to me in fact I was the only one in the team who was close to Gar darara knew this and was planning to use that to his advantage going with Kakashi would make us fools who were playing into the enemy's hands without thinking also both Kakashi and iron Ninjutsu types and both Chio and Sakura are medical kenoi pairing them together and us together would have been unwise and went against everything that sunate envisioned for koha sunade wanted diversity in each team and most importantly believed that every team should have a medical Shinobi it was probably best that each team have an enjutsu type and a medical type to increase our chances of success also it was best that I remain with Chio my multi-shadow clone technique would be a good counter for sori's puppet technique and would help me avoid getting poisoned also Chio was also a puppeter and in fact sori's teacher her Intel would be important in the end Kakashi had no choice but to take Sakura with and go after dadara this was a victory for me I can now get to fight an akitsuki member without the need to hold back I just hope the Chio dies somehow I don't think she would want to share any intel with koha but at the same time there is no guarantee that she wouldn't in any case she seems seems intent on stopping her grandson from his criminal path and in fact seems resolved to killing him if I kill him maybe she can owe me one for that and not rat out about my abilities it remains to be seen if I can't strike a deal with her I'll have to kill her in defect immediately yukumo and niiji know the procedure to follow should I be forced to defect unexpectedly we have already prepared for such a scenario and little brat with less than four years of experience and an old hag that's one foot away from her grave is all that the combined efforts of sunna and koha can spare to save the kazakage and to take down an akasuki member how the mighty have fallen sori said in a deep and grouchy voice a relatively short and hunchbacked man with three braided hairs and a Black Desert scarf covering the bottom of his face a black cloak with red clouds covering the rest of his body in the Ninja World appearances are almost always deceiving after all you yourself don't look like nothing more than a hunchbacked and disfigured old man that still likes to play with dolls Naruto retorted with a neutral tone completely shutting off his emotions and focusing on nothing else but the battle confidence is admirable but no one respects a cocky little brat that acts like he knows everything you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into caubi sesori retorted irritably no matter it seems as though I'm about to find out anyway that's fine by me besides I may not be completely aware of what I have gotten myself into but you are also in the same boat you have no idea what I am capable of Nar said with a Sinister undertone I can't tell if you're trying to convince me or if you're trying to convince yourself with that garbage you heard what darara said right the naabi Jin shui willingly surrendered to us because she wanted to be freed from the cursed existence of being a ginu and live happily ever after in the afterlife you do not have to struggle so hard you can stop pretending we know about your suffering surrender yourself and we will relieve you of your pain and Grant you a peaceful Journey to the afterlife we will carry the burden of the caui for you can't you see that aitsuki is only trying to help you sori said cynically causing Nudo to grit his teeth an anger and a little frustration I'm glad I met you sesori perhaps if I had never met you I might have eventually turned out just like you but now that I have seen how pathetic you are I can change my destiny into something better it seems to me that you have gained an incredible level of skill and power but have forsaken yourself in your quest for power you no longer see anyone else around you just yourself and your own ego Naruto said taking a deep breathe before continuing where he left off let me tell you something about the naabi jiki that you and darara claim to know so much about the naabi jinu fu and I are lovers the last time we spoke was this morning through messages sent via my chameleon summons and I am the only person in the entire world who knows where she is hiding right now think carefully and know your opponent a little better before you start sprouting nonsense confidence is admirable but no one likes a cocky brat who thinks he knows everything Naruto said condensing effectively turning sori's own words against a hunchback Puppeteer causing him to growl in anger and embarrassment and Nani he was able able to befriend gar the AI jinu Riki and now he is also lovers with an naabi jinu this child what is he chot triled of in Surprise only to be cut off midth thought by sork Angry voice you I was going to Grant you a pphu death but I have changed my mind I will capture you torture the naab's whereabouts out of you capture her and have you watch us extract her bigu as she dies in front of you then only then will we extract the caou from you no in fact I will turn her into a puppet first and then only extract the caui a off sori growled out wek see about that Naruto said with a venomous glare adopting a battle ready stance as he prepared himself mentally and emotionally for his first real Clash with an akitsuki member earlier chob basama controlled six kunai with her chakra strings and attacked sori with them the idea behind this was obvious this Jutsu iables the user to change the trajectory of the kunai at the last possible moment and attack an unguarded body area but sori saw through it and rotated his metallic tail around his body to deflect all the the weapons at the same time however Naruto trailed off in thought gioas Sama in an instant disconnected the chakra strings compressed the chakra until it was invisible to the naked eye and attached the invisible strings to sori's tail not only that but she has also attached another set of chakra strings to my body and gained almost complete control over my movements probably she doesn't believe I can avoid sori's attacks and puppet traps on my own also if her fighting style is anything to go by she also doesn't have enough raw power to destroy that puppet body she saw me use rengan against Itachi earlier she probably intends to get me close to sesori to destroy that puppet with that Jutsu Naruto thought analytically if I let her control me I might not have to use Swift release after all and I definitely won't have to use that other Jutsu as well in any case it's too early to tell I'll just let her control me for now in the meantime I'll observe sori's movements and attack patterns thought the blonde uzamaki gioas Sama I will follow your plan of defense and attack for now you have my blessing Naruto said without even turning to look at his partner causing chunk eyes to widen in sudden realization follow my plan of defense and attack then does that mean that he is not only aware of my chakra strings connected to him and sori but is also aware of my intentions with regards to how to use his raw power for offense then he must be a very good sensor type if he was able to notice my invisible chakra strings a very intelligent one at that you Zaki Nudo just who are you exactly giio thought and wonder looks like there about to make th move in that case a sorry thought throwing his akitsuki cloak away and adopting a four-legged stance clearly revealing his puppet shape which was not too different from that of a tortoise with his legs and arms being his only real body parts protruding outside of the puppet and a big shell like Shield protecting his back at ready Naruto K this is his offensive mode heun about to attack Chio warned hi Chio BOS Naruto acknowledged how is this possible chob Baba predicting and avoiding my assault is one thing but this little brat too what experience could he possibly have when it comes to battling against a puppet technique of this caliber sesori pondered with a little concern it wasn't something that would cause him to question the chances of his victory as far as sori was concerned victory was already his these two fools just didn't know it yet still sesori liked to consider himself to be a very intelligent observant and perceptive individual as a result every single mystery had to be solved precisely and accurately this kind of information could help him create countermeasures for the flaws in his fighting style and even help him improve his overall ability as a Shinobi Tori was aware that simply dodging a senon attack was nothing special he himself had done it many times and he'd seen many people Dodge those attacks as well in actual fact the idea of a respectable Shinobi getting hit with a head on senin assault was ridiculous in itself but there was a difference between a barrage of senon thrown by a regular Shinobi and sori senin barage a normal human or Shinobi Can Only Hold so many senen between his 10 fingers at a time and hence can only throw so many senmen basically there is a limit to how many senmen a regular person can throw at a time this in effect made it possible for the opponent to dodge most and in fact most of the time all the sbin aimed at him or her that is why senon were mostly used for medical reasons or for stealth attacks where the opponent wouldn't be aware of the incoming attack or even aware of the presence of an enemy sometimes they could be used in direct combat but only as a distraction or an order to lead an enemy to trap that was set up beforehand Sor however doesn't have these limitations that normal people seem to have that is all thanks to his cealing and puppet techniques an ammunition seal of sori's own design is used to store and release endin at incredible speeds and accuracy this seal is then placed in various key areas of sori's main puppets namely the mouths and Palms of his puppets the seal has no human limitations limitations such as only having 10 fingers to throw senin at enemy Shinobi or throwing senin at intervals if he wanted to sesori could launch 500 senon per successive interval or he could use no intervals at all and just launch an endless barrage of Simon that is why it would take someone with years of experience training under those conditions to dodge all his senon if the cyi kid had a Sharingan or a bakan then maybe sesori might have given him the benefit of the doubt or if perhaps he had a defensive technique like an earth Shield or kakuzu's Earth release earth spear technique to Simply prevent the senon from penetrating his skin but Naruto didn't fit any of these categories and yet still was able to render sori's assault ineffective this while not life-threatening as sori had an abundance of options in his Jutsu Arsenal was still a serious matter of concern I never thought that my body could Bend and twisted such awkward angles under the control of someone else nor did I think that my body parts could move even faster with outside influence rather than my own will I understand now why chobas Sama and sori have chosen to specialize in this art it allows them to pull off hand-to-hand combat skills that are otherwise impossible to execute with their own bodies not only that but even weapons techniques such such as senen throwing are hundredfold more devastating and effective when used through puppet Ninjutsu a more than impressed Naruto thought analytically prepare yourself Naruto Chan Chio ordered with an air of seriousness shek about to go on the offensive and she's going to use me all right it's time for that Troublesome hero puppet to go Naruto thought with anticipation I'm ready Naruto confirmed Gio didn't waste a second longer as she launched nuto head on at a rogue grandson with an unnoticeable flick of the finger using her invisible ch threads to control the blonde uzumaki's body and movements with amazing efficiency and Effectiveness the head on assault is the best idea you could come up with how stupid you're really underestimating me aren't you sesori growled out as he launched another barrage of senon from haruko's mouth cavity Naruto however dodged each and every senman with unreal finesse agility and speed getting closer and closer to sesori until he was almost close enough for his arm to reach out and touch the head of sori's hero puppet sesori uncomfortable with the close proximity and realizing the possible danger of the situation switched from senan assault to kinjutsu thrusting his metallic tail towards the 15-year-old jinu's abdomen with impressive speed and precision aim over Nani sesori exclaimed uncharacteristically as his tail simply refused to follow his chra thre commands leaving him completely open for an attack from the Blan chuii rengen Naruto exclaimed forming a big spiraling sphere on his right palm and subsequently smashing the haruko puppet to smithin those who had seen him used the renan 3 years ago would have noticed nutk visible growth in strength as his basic renan was now twice the size it used to be 3 years ago fortunately or unfortunately depending on which side you were on sesori was able to eject himself out of the puppet in the last second before Naruto's renen connected saving his own life at the expense of one of his treasured puppets giio weary of any possible traps that sesori might have set up in haruko should the puppet ever be destroyed quickly pulled the blonde uzamaki back to her side as they both waited for the hooded figure that seemed to have popped out of hero to reveal himself both waiting on edge in case of any surprise attacks I've waited 20 years just to see my grandson's face again come now don't be so shy Sor Chan this old woman could Kel over and die any second now don't keep your grandma waiting any longer Chio said with a weird combination of sarcasm and Nostalgia sori however ignored his grandmother's demands taking his time as here he attached his chakra threads to the remains of hero namely the metallic tail and moved it around in random directions before dropping it back to the ground unceremoniously I see that was quite impressive chob basama I'm embarrassed that I didn't notice it until this very moment sesori said with a clearly different voice from the one he was using earlier one that was Serene and much softer than previously earlier when you attack me with those kunai that were connected together by your chakra strings you already knew that such a low-level puppet technique would not work against me rather the real intention was for you to set up the first phase of your plan of attack you anticipated my use of the medal met tail to stop your attack and subsequently dislodge the chakra strings on the kunai and compress the chakra until the threads became invisible to the naked eye at the same time while my eyes were focused on your attack you attached another set of chakra strings to the caoi and helped him avoid my senon barage sori thought out loud earlier Itachi and kissum shape shifting clones were sent to inter sub tent Stu and the koha contingent I'm guessing that the caubi must have used the rengan on either kissim or Itachi having witnessed the jutsu's destructive power you planned and successfully used the caubi to destroy hero stopping me from killing him with the chakra strings you attached to my tail ride at the beginning of the battle once again I'm embarrassed that I can only notice this at this point in time I really can't believe I was played like this by an outdated old hag like you chob baba sori said emotionlessly swiftly throwing his hood away and theatrically turning around to finally face his opponents and no way isn't this guy supposed to have defected 20 years ago he doesn't even look older than me Naruto thought staring in disbelief at the guy standing in front him a guy who was about the same height as Naruto was maybe just a tad bit taller with wide brown eyes and short red hair also wearing the standard akitsuki uniform Gio basama do you recognize this guy as the same sesori who defected 20 years ago or is this just an impostor Naruto asked awkwardly I I don't believe it sori what have you done to yourself Chio stuttered out in shock and uttered disbelief W what's wrong Chio basama Naruto asked with a confused expression the he hasn't aged by a single day since he left sunna as a 15-year-old boy he doesn't look different at all Chio whispered still unable to fully comprehend the reality that was staring right back at her with murderous intent I see so this is what an akitsuki is capable of I don't know why I'm so surprised really after all anyone who could willingly associate themselves with arachu has to have some crazy abilities themselves the only question is is sori using some kind of daging technique or could he really have found a way to make himself Immortal arudo wandered out loud a dreadful and weary expression marfing into his facial features you seem to have quite a substantial amount of intel on my former partner you know arachim Maru and I achieved a lot of great things together it is a Pity that he had to go and betray us now I'm going to have to kill him right after I killed that old hag and capture you caoi sori said condensing he was arachim maru's former partner kuzo does that mean that he really is Immortal then Naruto thought with more than a little tepid Gio meanwhile took out a scroll from inside a garment and released the storage seal with a flare of chakra releasing 10 battle puppets dressed in white garments and also wearing demonic masks over their faces bite secret technique the chikamatsu collection of 10 puppets Chio called out as she attached the necessary chakra threads required to control all 10 puppets the ability to control 10 puppets at the same time this is your ultimate puppet technique isn't it it is said that each of those puppets possesses the power of a thousand ordinary puppets put together not only that but it is also said that you one single-handedly took over an entire castle using that puppet technique I myself have never seen you in action with those puppets but it is quite impressive that you can control 10 puppets at the same time very few in fact before you only one other person was ever able to utilize the UB Su sori commended sori I don't know why or how on Earth if you turned out like this but I'm going to put a stop to this no matter what it is the least that I can do for your mother and father it is the least that I can do for you my beloved grandson o declared with determination an old hag like you talking down to me like that your arrogance is really starting to annoy me it's about time I put an end to this game darara should be just about done now with the copy ninja and that girl anyway I don't like keeping people waiting sesori said venomously Tori had dropped down a storage scroll from his sleeves and onto his right hand while he was talking and threw it in the air as he adopted a ram hand seal of course the ram seal was unnecessary as aori didn't need to use hand seals anymore using a hand seal with his puppet body was useless after all but it was an act he had put up so many times that it now came naturally to him it wasn't a completely unnecessary act though after all he had to convince everyone comrades and enemies alike that there was nothing illegitimate about his real body not counting the unnatural lack of Aging of course having adopted the hand seal sesori fleed his chakra with a specific frequency releasing the storage scroll as numerous puppets popped out 100 of them to be exact sesori didn't waste time though immediately attaching chakra strings to each and every puppet inside the cave some of the strings came out of his mouth some From Below his cloak some from inside his sleeves and some even from his fingers Red secret technique performance of 800 puppets sesori announced theatrically D this is impossible sesor Chio exclaimed with a surprised expression G Baba do you now comprehend the unsurmountable gab in our abilities you have replicated an ability Mastered by only one other in the history of kugutsu but I have achieved a feat 10 times greater this is the beginning of your despair I will strip you of all hope until you become nothing but a vacant and useless vessel just like a puppet with no strings sesori declared confidently this should be impossible it should be no it is humanly impossible to create that many chakra strings not to mention the mental fortitude and flexibility it would require to control all 100 puppets Chio thought with disbelief Gio basama what seems to be the matter you don't seem like yourself all of a sudden Naruto asked with concern she is unable to comprehend the reality staring back at her right in the eye that someone so young could have done what she couldn't have achieved even if you gave her 3,000 years to do it essentially this could be equated to a physical and mental condition one experiences when they are forced to confront all of their life's failures true despair In the Flesh sesori said condensing so you're saying that no one has ever been able to create that many chakra strings and that controlling that many puppets at the same time should be physically and possibly mentally impossible Naruto deduced accurately from what he could gather from sori's boasting and chunk reaction in kind that's about the gist of it yes sori answered simply these very good at reading body language and battle situations if he was able to deduce that all on his own with so little time and information even earlier he was able to read chob Baba's intentions without her actually telling or even physically signaling her intentions I'll have to pay a little more attention to him he's an enigma and a variable that isn't fully accounted for in this battle there's also the chance that he could go berserk and release the haubi sesori thought wearily Naruto Chio trailed off with a serious tone yes Chio basama Naruto asked politely I'm afraid you're going to have to stay back this time I won't be able to control your movements and 10 puppets at the same time allow this old granny to take over this time Chio said I understand but Naruto trailed off as he adopted a cross-and sign flaring his chakra as he created 50 Shadow clones I can create a lot more of these but there is not enough space in the cave for that nevertheless I will heed your advice and stay back but there is no reason for us to limit ourselves to 10 puppets my shadow clones can fight for me will I stay at a safe distance just like you and sori do with your puppets also I don't need chakra threat to control them I believe they will also be of great help to you Chio basama Naruto said dropping the hint to Chio that he knew she would get almost immediately I see he intends to have some of his shadow clones act as backup and protection for my puppets while they are on the offense also should I end up losing a puppet he intends for me to take control of one of the Clones that was backing it up and use it as a puppet instead Naruto Chan you really are one of kind Chio thought with a confident smirk good job Naruto Chan there's no need to drag this out let's end it nice and quickly all right Chio declared with unwavering confidence flailing her arms and fingers as she sent her puppet Squad into battle of course I wouldn't have it any other way Naruto replied simply giving the sign for his shadow clone Battalion to charge into battle the battle only lasted a few minutes minutes not more than 8 minutes sori's puppet Army was indeed formidable and the skill with which he controlled all 100 puppets was a lot more impressive than Chio could have ever expected so much so that sesori had only lost half of his puppet Army by the time her whole puppet Squad and Naruto's initial 50 Shadow clones were obliterated fortunately Naruto's reserves were unlimited as he was able to create another 60 Shadow clones of which 10 at all times were taken over and controlled by Chio sori with his forces depleted two only 10 puppets pulled off an unexpected and downright devious move using the puppet performance skillful achievement with a human body to forcibly take control of some of Naruto's clones and use them against each other however nuto quickly saw through this and instructed his clones to dispel upon contact with sori's chakra threads for any other Shinobi or at least most other Shinobi sori's manuver would have proved a fatal and uncounterable move as it would have been virtually impossible to differentiate between Chio taking over a clone and sesori taking over a clone but Naruto is no ordinary Shinobi as he is one of the finest chakra sensor types in the elemental Nations because of this ability Naruto and his clones were able to differentiate between Chio and sori's chakra threads and respond accordingly in the end sori's puppet Army was completely defeated leaving him at the mercy of Naruto's four remaining Shadow clones the Clones sensing Victory didn't yield their assault even for a second attacking sori with Vigor and determination as well as strategy of course one clone went for a right hook on sesori face but the great Puppeteer was too fast for the Clone ducking under the punch and kicking the Clone on the chin with a humanly impossible maneuver his right leg shooting up vertically and over his head from his crouching position the manuver wasn't only unexpected because of the awkward upwards bending of the leg but also because of the fact that it was executed almost at the same time and in fact during the process of dodging the clone's right hook as expected the shadow clone poofed out of existence upon contact but just as well as it was only the diversion for the attack plan only meant to Blindside sori as two other clones came in from the sides in an effort to enclose the Puppeteer as they prepared a renan each aimed at sori's ribs the plan was simple enough yet quite effective under normal circumstances sesori was meant to avoid the three-pronged attack and the only way to avoid it would have been for him to jump backwards he shouldn't have been able to go forward because of the initial Shadow clones attack and he shouldn't have been able to dodge sideways because of the two clones with renin prepared to smash him in therefore his only option would have been to jump upwards or back backwards or even both that is where the fourth Shadow clone came in he was supposed to use the initial clone as cover as he came up behind him and jumped over with a Cho adamaris sengan in midair sesori wouldn't be able to avoid the assault and even if he did the initial Shadow clone would be watching his movements and time a secondary attack for sori's approximate landing position while the other two clones would have obviously destroyed each other with a renan however things didn't go according to plan as sori pulled off another Unthinkable maneuver the red-haired Puppeteer wrapping chakra thread around each Shadow clone's arm at the very last moment and controlling them enough to change the trajectory so that they both missed him and hit each other instead the two clones as a result sustaining more than enough damage to destroy each other as they poofed out of existence at this point the fourth Shadow clone was already Airborne forming a gigantic renan as he flew downwards towards the ground akasuna noori once again demonstrated his unbelievable Mastery over the chakra threat technique instantly attaching chakra threat to the back wall of the cave and instantly shorting the length of the threads from his finger endings the manuver that had the effect of his body getting pulled towards the wall at incredible speed Tori before he even reached the other side of the room and before the clone's attack even connected with the surface was already launching his Counterattack another one of his strings having been attached to one of the swords lying around from his defeated puppets and directing it towards the blonde yuzaki clone's blind spot stabbing the Clone through the chest and dispelling it before its ridiculously sized renan could connect with the Earth and destroy the whole cave unbel believable his moments and Agility should be impossible for any normal human sori what else have you been doing to your body either than daging yourself Chio thought with a mixture of surprise pride and awe finding it hard to believe the level of Mastery that her grandson had reached without her help a level far beyond any of his predecessors if only he hadn't turned traitor Gio couldn't help but wonder how different things would have turned out with someone like sesori on sunna side especially after the loss of the third kazakage this kid is quite fast almost as fast as Itachi and leader s and his clone to Jutsu combination is out of this world I'd have been defeated if it wasn't for my special body and its abilities sori thought with a little relief realizing just how differently things would have turned out if it wasn't for his irregular skills and quick thinking damn what the hell was that how the hell can someone bend their leg like that how can someone even perform two conflicting physical Maneuvers at the same time like that nuto thought with disbelief that was quite an interesting strategy caubi you must have worked hard and long on your Shadow clone combinations and strategy I can't imagine how many simulations it must have taken to get your clones to perform such well-coordinated attacks it seems like they have a battle plan in place for every single battle scenario whether it be three or four against one or 50 against 100 very few people actually prepare themselves efficiently for battle not only against one or two opponents but against armies as well my 100 puppet Army has never been defeated before up until now did you know that I once took over a whole nation with those puppets so praised and boasted in kind I know I should be surprised but having witnessed and even experienced firsthand what you're capable of I'm not really all that surprised I can see how you could do something like that with enough preparation time and a good battle strategy more so with the element of surprise that you would have after all who could expect a single individual to challenge a whole nation arudo complimented the two Rivals sharing a mutual respect for each other skill and achievements much to the surprise of Lady Chio uzamaki Naruto you are indeed quite an intriguing child you have certainly caught my attention however it is about time that I captured you it is such a Pity that I have to kill someone that resembles so much of my younger self perhaps in a different world you and I might have been good friends Tori said with a strangely subdued tone dropping another scroll from his sleeve one with a cangi for three inscribed on it friends he you don't strike me as someone who values friendship I absolutely can't imagine you trusting anyone with watching your back for you given the fact that you seem to hide inside hero most of the time even when you're with your partner dadara the blonde Uzumaki retorted narrowing his eyes at the scroll on sori's left hand with suspicion another scroll I thought the army of Puppets was his greatest technique I should have known he had something else up his sleeve it was just too good to be true Naruto thought wearily chinobi code dictates that we must lie cheat deceive and even betray each other if it will help us achieve our goals therefore trust has nothing to do with friendship at least not in the Shinobi World sesori declared with certainty I suppose there's a good point there somewhere I don't like the way you think but there is some level of truth to it at the very least I can understand why a person would take such a life philosophy to Heart nuto said his eyes narrowing and distaste and his fists clenching involuntarily as he remembered just how much he was deceived by so many people from koha that he trusted the most what happening why are these two having a heart-to-heart conversation in the middle of battle is this the power that the White Fang son spoke of is this huto Chan changed garan and odd and Confused Chio pondered judging by the expression on your face it would seem that you might have a firsthand experience to draw wisdom and understanding of my words from Itachi gave us a completely different profile about the caui Jin shuii I'm impressed that someone so young and inexperienced was able to desv Itachi Sharingan in any case it was nice knowing you yamaki Naruto Tori declared adopting a one-handed Ram seal as he fleered his chakra releasing this time a single puppet from his latest storage scroll a puppet that had Chio gasping for air entering a shock induced State at the sight of sori's secret weapon another puppet this one looks a lot more livelike than the ones from his puppet Army but why would he summon a single puppet after we destroyed a whole 100 that were summoned previously this can't be a normal puppet Naruto thought wearily sori W what have you done H How Could You Chio exclaimed hysterically her mind refusing to accept the level her own self Ray's grandson has stooped to KOB Baba I bet now you're thinking I should have never taught him many kugutsu Tech techniques isn't that so sesori asked carelessly I knew that the death of your parents affected you I knew that your innocence was lost on that day that you found out I taught you kugatsu to give you hope hope for a brighter future I taught you so that you could one day have the power to protect your family I wanted you to become a hero for sunna asori I never imagined you would become as so evil Gio cried shedding tears for the first time in 20 years such was the extremity of the Heartbreak that she felt hn people are so judgment and shallow but most of of all human beings are such Hypocrites it's almost unbearable I suppose it goes without saying having lived the life of a Jin chuii you should be able to understand right Naruto actually I'm not really sure what the hell is happening what's the big deal with that puppet anyway Naruto asked with a quirked eyebrow aruto Chan don't let your guard down not even for a split second that's no ordinary puppet that is a puppet made from the third kazak's corpse he was the strongest of all the five kakes he had the ability to manipulate magnetic field and he used that ability to create a powerful kinjutsu the iron sand technique Chio warned with a grave undertone W what you mean he was the one who was responsible for the third kazak's disappearance all those years ago and he can use his powers through his human puppet technique Naruto exclaimed in Surprise I'm not sure the last time we spoke about it sori had mastered that technique but in theory yes he is supposed to have access to all of the sandam powers Chio explained ah incredible this Jutsu is is almost on the same league as the niame hokage's EO tensei Naruto thought out loud an odd expression fully displayed on his facial features P you seem more than a little impressed by my Jutsu I can't say I'm not flattered tell you what nuto since I like you so much I let you join my collection I've been meaning to get myself a close combat Powerhouse for a puppet I can already think of many ways to use that renan technique of yours and its variations Tori said with pride and confidence as if victory was already guaranteed Tori how could you do this all this time you were the one that took away our kazakage he was a great man how could you defile his body and Legacy like this and now you want to do the same to Naruto Chan I won't allow it Chio exclaimed banding kazakage a great man give me a break sesori exclaimed uncharacteristically shocking young Naruto and old lady Chio into silence the two not expecting such an outburst from the otherwise calm and emotionless Puppeteer I did everything I could for that Village the ability to create human puppets would have revolutionalized not only the puppet brigades but soon a military prowess as a whole we would have been at the very top of the food chain thanks to all my efforts imagine all the enemy K Jen and kinjutsu we could have harnessed from enemy Villages and used to strengthen our own military forces can you imagine Sharingan Bakugan yoden jinton hottin Shadow manipulation the list goes on and on Not only would I have attained the power to become the yanding kazakage but I would have been strong enough to protect the whole of sunna from destruction I would have been able to protect my family sesori said with a very unhidden rage and contempt this power was not only for me I was willing to share it the idea was to handpick three apprentices as soon as I was elected as the next kazakage three trusted students to which I could entrust the future of sunna and share the secrets of my Jutsu with I presented this idea to the sand a and what did he do what did I get in return for all my efforts sori vented out as aori the sandan was an tical bigot who cared only about himself and his own status he didn't like the idea of someone surpassing him that histrionic bastard was only concerned with his own popularity and the affection and praise that he had as the kazakage he didn't really care about sunna or at least he only cared about it as long as he was at the center of its attention and affections he was insecure about his title and thus launched a public slander campaign against me and my kugutsu techniques declaring my Jutsu a forbidden kinjutsu that dishonors the dead and declaring that sunna would never stoop to such levels really the hypocrisy and a village with so many heinous actions developing a sudden sense of morality sesori spat venomously I became a prisoner and a suspect in my own home a and Buu assassins were allocated to watch my every move at all times of the day and I was banned from ever experimenting with corpses under the penalty of death I wasn't even allowed to fiddle with enemy corpses missions outside the village were no longer assigned to me again and I had to report to the kazakage every time I wanted to pursue a new idea for a puppet technique I was no longer a soona citizen nor was I Asuna Shinobi anymore I was literally made into an enemy I was a prisoner sori said hatred bubbling at the surface of his tone the rest of the village followed in the kazak footsteps like I heard of sheep they believed every rumor that was spread about me and they too eventually developed a hatred and weariness of me viewing my very presence as an Abomination and a danger to their wellbeing I tried my best to change people's minds to make them see the real to get them to accept me but all I got for me efforts was more scorn more curses and more humiliation I was forced to come face to face with reality and I decided that I would get my Vengeance I would start with the one who started at all I would kill him and turn him into the very thing that he was so afraid of I killed the kazakage and turned him into my first human puppet next was sunna I made sure to release the information of his disappearance to the other nations knowing very well that they would seek to destroy sunna in their moment of weakness thus the Sparks that would soon burned as bright as the third Shinobi War were set in motion the chaos destruction and confusion caused by the war were beneficial to me in more ways than one one of those was the ease with which I was able to plant spies in all of the five Great Shinobi Nations the beginnings of what would eventually be the greatest spy networking organization in the history of the elemental Nations I later joined an organization that had need for my services the akitsuki an organization unlike sunna that has a gunon appreciation for my talents I am a part of something far greater than sunna will ever be sesori declared with finality and certainty this guy is just a victim of the sanding C is cruelty and manipulations he and I are not too different after all nor is the sand Dame Hokage any different from the sand Dame kazakage Naruto thought bitterly Tori I knew the kazakage very well he was a charismatic and caring Man Who Loved sunna more than anything do you have any idea how many sacrifices that man has made for the betterment of sunna I can't possibly believe anything that comes out of your mouth right now besides even if I were to believe you that does not excuse your behavior what you and the akitsuki are doing is simply wrong iio declared with conviction actually the akitsuki aren't doing anything different from what koha sunna and the other hidden Villages have been doing for decades now Naruto thought Naro could honestly say that he didn't have any ill feelings towards Akatsuki at all the bwu were an important source of power for any organization that wanted to dictate or at the very least have a contribution to the direction that the current world was going he didn't know anything about akatsuki's mission and vision but he knew very well that if it was as big as what he thought it was then without a doubt they would need some crazy source of power considering how few of them there were all they wanted was that to capture the bigu it wasn't their fault that the five nations chose to seal them inside humans by the same token however it wasn't nutk fault that kurarama was sealed inside of him so if he ended up killing off akitsuki members it was only because he was protecting himself and his own dreams and Ambitions it was only because he wanted to create a future for himself and his closest allies his true friends and Future Family GI obaba you can remain in your little shell of ignorance for the next few minutes of your life for all I care I'm done talking it's time for you to die sesori declared confidently but the small flicker of the forefinger the metal from all weapons and Joints belonging to the destroyed puppets in the cave dislodged from their respective contriction and floated in the air the soona legend using the third kazak's magnetic release to control and compress the metal into a multitude of iron needles This is the End sori said using his control over magnetic fields to repel the hundreds of needles at a speed three times as fast as haruko s all needles closing in on cholone as the sunog nin focused the majority of his killing intent on the in his opinion irritating old hag meanwhile more and more iron sand was being released from the third kazak's mouth in preparation for sori's follow-up attack and defense against any possible surprise attack the Rogue Puppeteer treading cautiously as usual his experience warning him not to ever let his guard down against any opponent giio realizing that her own old bones and muscles wouldn't Grant her the speed to dodge such a fast and wide range attack instantly summoned two puppets with razor sharp weapons on each of their arms one a male with brown hair and the other a female with red hair attaching chakra strings to each puppet and using their Superior speed and reflexes to deflect all of the large needles away from her own body some of the needles missed her completely and hit the wall behind her others were deflected to the walls on the sides and others just fell to the ground harmlessly after being deflected by this time sesori had released all of the available iron sand from inside the kazakage the amount quite staggering considering how much there was in comparison to the kazak's mouth cavity heck in comparison to his whole body for that matter those puppets hn how devious of you using my parents against me if this is your idea of psychological warfare then you should know that's not going to work on me let me show you what I mean sesori declared confidently having said that sesori with another unnoticeable flick of the finger used a third kazak's magnetic release to manipulate the weapons that the puppets of his mother and father wielded on each arm dislodging in them from their restrictions and manipulating them to slice the puppets up so fast that Chio had no chance to react or counter the attack at all not that there was a possible counter in her Jutsu reor the pieces of the puppets crashing on the ground harmlessly following their destruction leaving a wide-eyed Chio who was too shocked to move or say anything at allow die sesori exclaimed forming more needles with his iron sand and sending them flying aunk Direction at even faster speeds that however was not the extent of sori's attack the Rogue pupeteer also manipulating the needles from his previous assault to attack lady Chio from literally all directions from the right side from the left side from behind and even from above as some of the needles from the previous assalt had been deflected into the roof of the cave Gio had no way to avoid the assault she had no Ultimate Defense no more puppets to help protect herself and any weapons she could use now were unavailable thanks to the kazak's magnetic release and she certainly did not have the speed to dodge all those senon at those speeds coming from every direction I suppose this is is the end in the end mine was a life full of failures regrets and no achievements Naruto Chan I'm sorry I couldn't even protect you from my own grandson Chio thought on the verge of tears closing her eyes as she tried to prepare herself for death's cold Embrace W what is this am I still alive or am I dead Chio thought with confusion as she opened her eyes she expected it to be relatively brief but at the very least she expected to feel some kind of pain before she passed on to the afterlife also given all the mistakes and horrible decisions she made in her life she never expected to go to a warm and safe place when she eventually passed on in fact she pretty much expected the literally cold and cruel Embrace of death at the welcoming hands of what some would consider to be hell however for one reason or another she felt genuinely warm and protected as if some Majestic blanket was keeping her safe from all the dangers of the world are you all right chob basama Naruto asked effectively breaking the old lady from her trance her eyes snapping open as if she just woke up from a nightmare then nuto Chan W what is this Chio asked eyes widening even further in awe at the sight that was before and around her their eyes now open Chio was able to observe the Jutsu that did and was protecting her an array of glowing gold colored chakra chains that seemed to be anchored on the ground forming a circular pattern around her the spaces between the chains were encompassed by a powerful transparent barrier that was strong enough to deflect sori's attack with mind-blowing ease both Chio and sori were able to instantly determine the location of the Jutsu fter as the chains could be seen clearly originating from the blonde uzumaki's lower back projected straight into the ground and up and around ch's location that Jutsu sori thought in Surprise this is my chakra chain barrier technique it is a kinjutsu of the Uzumaki clan that can only be learned by people of uzamaki Clan lineage Naruto replied to chunk question you mean like a bloodline limit technique Chio asked curiously yes a bloodline limit technique Naruto replied simply so you really are in uzamaki I was under the impression that you were a fake your physical appearance more specifically your hair color does not resemble that of in uzamaki at all sure you have a strong chakra on the large capacity of chakra too but that could easily have been attributed to your gingu status also up until now you had never displayed any knowledge of seiling or barrier Ninjutsu yamaki Naruto you are quite an enigma I can't wait to see what other Secrets your corpse will reveal to me sori said with genuine Intrigue and curiosity I have to agree with him on this I also thought you were fake after all there is power in a name all on its own more so of a clan as great as the uzamaki maybe koha wanted to hold on to that name to intimidate enemies basically as a warning of their strength and resources Chio said as well from inside the chakra chain barrier so everyone thought I was a fake Chi no wonder every enemy I faced laughed at me when I told them who I was Naruto thought finding it absurd that he was being underestimated all this time because everyone thought he was a fake I've heard about this Jutsu before it was us amaki kash's trademark technique does that mean that she is your mother sori asked curiously I've never seen this technique before this is the first time I've seen or even heard of it Chio said almost as if refuting sori's claims or perhaps feeling a little embarrassed that she knew nothing of something that was supposedly public knowledge many factors would have contributed to that in the third Shinobi War the legendary snon and White Fang hex aumo were assigned on the sunna and Kiri front whereas the yellow Flash and the Red Devil my mother were signed to the Kumo and I with front lines because of this you would have been more likely to clash with hadex aumo and the sannon and not had any encounters with my mother it would explain why you wouldn't know much about her Naruto explained neutrally so she is his mother after all but if so who is his father sesori wondered I see I suppose you have quite a valid point Naruto Chan Chio trailed off thoughtfully Naruto Chan knows more about the past Wars than the other young Shinobi of his generation he is well earned and well informed about past events maybe that is what makes him such a good Shinobi maybe he has learned from the mistakes of the past by reading up on his history he's neither a normal Shinobi or a normal genui is he Chio thought I was not aware that the uzamaki clan had any specific bloodline traits outside of their strong chakra high capacity reserves long ativity and durability and seiling and barrier knowledge yet you seem to be implying the existence of a distinguished bloodline limit I am curious what is this bloodline limit exactly sori asks Stokely that is a secret narut said with a mischievous smile you impudent little sesori growled out irritably he's also however a real Shinobi too he understands the value of secrecy in the Shinobi World Chio thought appreciatively even though it somewhat irritated her that she couldn't find out exactly what Naruto's bloodline limit was really did you expect me to just give away the information just like that Naruto retorted with a roll of the eyes no matter I'll find out sooner or later I have many years to study your corpse I'll even get some practice with it sesori declared thinking about how close to Invincible he would become with a third kazakage and Naruto as his puppets no more talking I've kept people waited for too long anyway let's finish this sesori said once again channeling the sand am's magnetic release to surround Chio with meter sized iron needles from all directions Gio Baba is now literally a useless old hag she no longer has any means to defend herself all of her puppets are destroyed and all of her weapons can be turned against her you can't defend her and attack at the same time you'll have to release the chain barrier in order to go on the offensive also you're a close- range Fighter the chains will hinder your movements if you try to go on the offensive while maintaining that barrier so yamaki Naruto what will you do sesori asked condensing I don't mind leaving it as a stalemate for now you're the one that has issues about making people wait I on the other hand can stand here the whole day if I want to Naruto retorts smugly once again getting on the Rogue puppeteers nerves with his cheeky remarks and unpredictable behavior and I'll make you move move sesori declared confidently forming and launching another super fast barrage of iron needles from his abundance of iron sand except instead of targeting Chio as he previous had been doing now targeting the blonde Uzumaki while at the same time watching Chio at the corner of his eye in anticipation of the moment where Naruto is forced to deactivate his barrier that was however not to be as Naruto released more chakra chains this time from his belly that instantly formed a circular barrier around his own body the barrier easily deflecting away each and every iron needle that crashed into it at about the same time that the needles made contact with the barrier a number of puffs of smoke and poofing sounds could be seen and heard respectively as some of sori's defeated puppets turned into replicas of the Blan and chuii 10 of them to be exact all holding rengin on their right hands and attacking sesori from all directions much like he had done against Chio with his iron needles guzo he had his clones transformed into my defeated puppets all this time sesori thought in surprise that's an attack from every direction there there's nowhere to dodge he can't escape this one Naruto thought from the safety of his own chakra chain barrier bengen bage the Clones exclaimed as their attack made direct contact boom was the terrible sound caused by the impact a strong shock wave as a result washing over the entirety of the cave sending debris dust and puppet body parts flying around the inside of the cave violently some of it going as far as hitting the barrier that was protecting Chio and nuto respectively is it over Naruto Chan Chio asked with baited breathe then no it's not over my clones have been destroyed Naro replied with a serious expression B but how Chio asked with a confused expression L nuto said pointing his index finger at sori's direction as the dust screen cleared to reveal something else where sori once stood a gigantic ball-like barrier made entirely of iron sand with large spikes protruding out in all directions Bas and noi sori's voice sounded from inside the sphere of iron sand as more iron sand gathered on the upper left portion of the spere forming in humanized actual eye complete with a rotating pupil that was floating in the air it is best for me to continue the battle from the safety of this battle formation uzamaki nuto is full of surprises who would have thought that he would have clones hinged into puppets such a juvenile yet deadly effective tactic I could have been dead now if it wasn't for the kazak's powers sesori thought wearily that sand a s sand shield and third eye technique he's better at controlling the third's powers than I could have thought possible it's almost like fighting the third him himself we have to be careful Naruto Chan Chio warned I know I've seen gari use this technique before in the chunan exams 3 years ago however this guy's Shield seems to be much stronger than gark Shield Naruto replied that is because he is using a strong magnetic force to keep the sand granules locked together also iron is generally stronger than actual sand no one has ever breached sand a s Shield it's virtually impossible to break through it with any kind of force Chio explained true this Shield is one said to have withstood the force of shukaku's tailed beast ball the two of you have no hope of defeating me surrender yourselves to me and you shall be granted a peaceful death sesori said from inside the sand Shield watching The Duo intently through his third eye technique aruto Chan how long can you keep these barriers activated CH asked suddenly I can keep them up for a whole day probably maybe more why Naro asked curiously there is no Force capable of breaking through that Shield the key is to inflict a fatal blow before The Shield is put in place once he puts it up any hope of winning is lost in that moment but it seems like the same is true for your own barriers too this battle in effect is now stalemate however reinforcements from sunna and koho are sure to arrive at a later stage I'm quite confident that you as in yamaki and Ain chuii should be able to outlast sori if we simply wait reinforcements will arrive and sori along with that puppet will run out of chakra Victory will be assured Chio suggested analytically I wouldn't be so sure about that if if I were you sesori laughed confidently he's right chob basama just look at him now his shield along with that ey are floating in the air if it comes down to it sesori will just retreat by floating out of here Not only would he escape like that but because he'd be using the skies he would also leave no Trail for anyone to track him down arudo explained politely refuting chunk plan of action or rather plan of no action true but the akitsuki still have to hunt down the tailed beasts his Escape will only give us time to prepare and effective battle strategy against him now that we have Intel on his abilities Chio said logically no that's not good enough for me have you forgettin that he also has Intel on my abilities the whole Akatsuki organization will know about my progress if he is allowed to escape I have to finish him off now Naruto retorted don't be stupid boy I already told you that there is no Force capable of breaching sand Dame s's iron sand Shield Chio chastic the blonde uzamaki angered by the boy's childish impatience and Brash attitude giio Bama is there anything important that you still want to do Naruto asked with a sudden ominous tone boy what's gotten into you all of a sudden Chio asked with a frustrated expression I mean if we could defeat sesori and you were free to leave this cave is there anything important that you would want to do please answer the question before you say anything else Naruto demanded with a no-nonsense tone I well there is something important that I want to do before I leave this earth Chio said solemnly and that is Naruto asked more like demand really there's a Jutsu that I created a long time ago it is a kinjutsu that only I know how to perform I had saved this Jutsu for sori in case of an emergency situation but now all things considered maybe it just wasn't meant for him maybe maybe it was meant for someone else Chio said arousing not only nutk curiosity but even sori's or rather especially sori's curiosity what Jutsu is this Naruto asked curiously that is a Jutsu to revive the dead by transferring one's own life force to that of the deceased the renewal of Life Force in the body acts as a beacon that attracts The Departed soul back to the body with the effect of the deceased coming back to life Chio explained with sad eyes if what you say is true then doesn't that mean that you would die do you expect me to believe that a cynical old hag like you would sacrifice their life for anyone or do you think that sacrificing yourself will automatically wash away all of the heinous sins you have committed in your life give me a break sesori said mockingly it doesn't matter whether my sinss are washed away or not that child deserves a second chance he doesn't deserve to die like this after everything that he has been put through after everything he has been forced to sacrifice at such a young age unlike you he was able to look past himself and his own suffering and think about the well-being of others unlike you he was brave enough to endure ran change the people of sunna he was strong enough to battle against adversity and fulfill his dreams Chio said shocking a pissed off sesori into Silence with her response why you plan to resurrect gar don't you Naruto asked with astonishment and realization I was the one that sealed shukaku into him I was the one that brought Darkness into his life I never helped him afterwards nor did I even apologize for my actions I acted like I had done absolutely nothing wrong the least I can do for him now is to give him a chance to live a life without the darkness that shukaku has overshadowed his life with the life of new possibilities and brighter Avenues to explore garan deserves at least that much Chio said not even sure why she was pouring her heart out in such a situation nuto was caught in quite a dilemma himself self his plan was initially to kill chob basama himself that was why he had asked her if there was anything important that she wanted to do if they were to survive sori if there was nothing important then he would kill her with a clear conscience if there was something that she wanted to do then he would try and see if he couldn't fulfill that wish for her after killing her of course it would have been so easy too with her stuck inside his barrier with no means to defend herself he would have just crushed her with his chakra chains and then he could easily ride it off to the others as aor is doing with his iron sand Chio knew too much about him now for his lacking she now knew about his chakra chain technique and she also knew that he knew about his mother the uzamaki clan and the Clans kinjutsu not only that but she also knew he has a bloodline limit even if she didn't know what it is exactly none of this was information that he wanted people to know about if he could help it too many problems would come his way as a result also Naruto was now aware that he would have to reveal more secrets in order to defeat sesori after the puppeteer's latest stunt and possible other stunts that he might have up his sleeves that was going to make Chio even more of a loose end another reason for wanting to kill her was because she was no longer useful she in fact was now slowing him down without her puppet techniques she was basically useless in combat okay maybe not useless in general combat but certainly useless against someone of sori's talents and resources now however having heard what Chio intended to do nuto wasn't so sure what to do he still wanted to kill her just to be sure that was the right thing to do according to General Shinobi code but gar was one of his few genuine friends sure he wasn't as close to him as he was now with fuan yukumo Chan and niji but still outside those three gar was really his only true friend not only that but Fu had passionately argued that they involved the other jinu Riki in their plans stating that new whirpool should be a place where people like them could enjoy a happy and peaceful existence also pointing out that it was incredibly unlikely that any jii would reject their offer to join them considering who and what they were to each other of course nuto had rejected such a plan for one two of those yui were cages of their own Villages therefore had great responsibilities to their people those two were unlikely to leave their posts to follow a bunch of teenagers with Big Dreams no matter how strong those teenagers were the rest of the ginu were either directly related to the current cages of their Villages or to Precious cage in their Villages some of them were even part of respected Clans in their home Villages Naruto also recognized the danger they would all be in if all of them banded together and formed an organization the other villages and akitsuki wouldn't take that lightly at all it was possible that they would end up having the whole Ninja World ban together against them after all they would be seen as a danger to all of society if IA Kumo and Kiri could form a temporary truce just for the sake of taking out the uzamaki clan one can only imagine what the five Great Nations and even the other smaller nations would do to stop a jinkui Alliance then there would still be the threat of akitsuki lurking In the Shadows on top of that no as much as Naruto wanted to help the other jinu rii forming an alliance with them would not be a very good idea still nuto knew that Fu might possibly never forgive him if she ever found out that he allowed another jiki to die needlessly or rather to remain Dead when he could have helped him especially one that was supposedly his friend then she would wonder if he wouldn't do the same to her or their other friends and comrades besides Naruto also didn't like the idea of Garett dying when he could have done something to help him survive that would literally make him no different from sesori or even worse arachim not that he was too far off from them now that he actually thought about it maybe I should allow her to live for a while after all she is going to die if she revives gar Kakashi and Sakura will have their hands full with dadara she wouldn't get a chance to brief anyone about what happened anyway this is a risk but I guess it's one I'll have to take for a friend besides I can't keep my skill level is secret forever worst case scenario is that I have to defect almost immediately it will also be easier to do it considering how far I am from koha Naruto thought logically all right I'm going to help you escape while I hold sesori off call for backup and do what you have to do to help gar we'll meet again in the afterlife though if you'll excuse me for saying this I doubt it will be anytime soon Naruto said without batting an eyelash you can't be serious you can't possibly be thinking about fighting sesori on your own let me help you Chio retorted passionately I don't mean to offend you but what do you think you can do to help me now take a good look at the situation you're in for a moment Naruto replied coldly causing chunk eyes to widen in realization you're out of puppets and you don't don't have anything to counter against the sand Dame's magnetic release in fact if it wasn't for my intervention you'd be dead right now sesoris is now using you to create openings to attack me because he knows I'll protect you you've helped me a lot to get this far and you've been a great source of information but you have to learn to let go and allow the Next Generation to take over after all isn't that the very same reason that you want to revive gar at the expense of your own life Naruto retorted he's right as it is now I'm just a parcel weighing him down when did I become so useless has the Next Generation really surpassed us already Chio thought with regret and sadness okay do what you have to do Naruto Chan and I will do what I have to do but only if you promise me one thing Chio trailed off and what would that be Chio basama Naruto asked curiously hoping Beyond hope that he wouldn't be forced to make a promise that he didn't intend to keep don't die promise me that you won't die until backup arrives Chio said with hope in her eyes hn I have no intention of dying trust me you have no reason to worry about anything of the sort Naruto said with a cheeky smile causing Chio herself to smile happily almost as if Naruto's words alone were fact that couldn't be changed no matter what when did I start caring about what happens to foreign Shinobi Naruto Chan really does have something special about him the power to change people huh Chio thought with a mental Shake of the head but more importantly how does Naruto Chan intend to help me escape no even more importantly how does he intend to defeat sesori does he really have something that can destroy the magnetic iron Shield Chio wondered with uncertainty okay Chio basama I want you to start running as soon as I release the barrier you should be able to make it to the outside when the time comes Naruto ordered atively okay CH acknowledged so he really does have something else up his sleeve Chio thought watching an awe as a second Naruto popped into existence next to the blonde uzamaki the Clone waving its hands around Naruto's right arm as it infused wind chakra into the renan that Naro was now holding on his right arm turning the Jutsu into a spiraling chakra shuriken with an ear popping screeching sound gutin Rass and shuriken Naruto announced with his right hand held upwards he infused futin into the rengan to create a chakra shuriken this Jutsu is no doubt on another level an S-Class Jutsu without question however this technique no matter how strong he thinks it is can't be more powerful and destructive than shukaku's tailed beast ball I should be safe as long as I remain inside this fear sesori thought nuto Chan I don't know what you think that J can do but you can't Chio trailed off as the blonde cutter out mid-sentence this Jutsu releases millions of microscoping chakra needles upon contact in other words it destroys living beings and objects alike at molecular level so you see it doesn't matter how strong sesori Shield is the microscopic wind blade should be able to penetrate the sphere and make contact with sesori himself even if they don't manage to do this The Shield will be dismantled and there will be an opening to attack Naruto explained much to both Chio and sori's amazement her rather horror and fear on sesori however having realized a possible danger he was in sesori quickly established an iron sand formation of needles around the blonde uzamaki as insurance you'll have to take down the chain barrier in order to attack me with that Jutsu unless you believe that you're actually fast enough to dodge all of these needles sesori taunted that's what you think Naruto said confidently drawing his arm backwards before throwing the chakra shuriken toward sori sand shield with all his might P what sesori thought out loud out as the blonde uzamaki once again pulled off an unexpected maneuver sori having seen the blonde yamaki throw that nasty looking shuriken expected him to drop the chakra chain barrier as that wouldn't should be expected unless he wanted to commit suicide therefore one can understand why sori would be caught off guard when the blonde didn't drop the barrier but instead simply allowed the chakra shuriken to phase through the barrier somehow tor's first thought when this happened was that the blonde uzamaki had canel the barrier already but had set up an illusion of the barrier in its place however that was immediately disproved as his chakra needles which had been Ed to pass through the point where the barrier would have been at the same moment that the chakra shuriken was expected to do the same were deflected away from the blonde Uzumaki this told sori that the barrier was indeed still active a scenario which then begged the question how did the shuriken phase through the barrier does that mean that he can deactivate specific areas of the barrier while leaving others still activated sesori pondered with what would have been a confused expression had he possessed a real human body however aisun no Sasori did not have the time to entertain Such trivial thoughts not when death was literally flying towards him at Breakneck speeds but survival firmly embedded into his mind sesori ejected himself and the third kazakage from the back of the sand sphere a good second before the Rasen shuriken made contact with the sand the legendary Puppeteer jumping down with the intention of Landing safely on the surface of the cave far below the sand shield and consequently far away from the Rasen shuriken trajectory nuto with instaneous speed released the barrier around both himself and Chio wrapped a chakra chain around her ankle and literally threw her through the doorway and out of the cave following that manuver the Blan and Chui canceled the chakra feed to the chains causing the Jutsu to collapse and disappear altogether everything was done so fast that even after all that the chakra shuriken had yet to make contact with the iron shield and sesori had not reached the surface of the cave yet this was just how nuto planned it out to be as the stage was set perfectly for him to execute the next phase of his plan to assassinate a sunos Sasori Swift release shadowless flight Naruto and the shadow clone on his right hand side whispered simultaneously nuto and his shadow clone flew at his enemy at Hypersonic speeds the original targeting the third kazakage and the Clone targeting the real sesori both ramming their respective Ringin on the abdomen of their targets with great velocity aggression and strength the power and speed behind the attack was so great that the sesori and the kazakage went right through the back wall and out the other side of the cave along with the two blondes before the effects of the renan took effect the duo getting flung away a great distance crashing through many Boulders and even trees before crashing into the ground the impact leaving large craters around where their bodies landed Tori had no idea what happened largely due to the fact that he didn't even see what happened to begin with all he remembered was that he had escaped through the back of the iron shield with the intention to surprise attack the blonde uzamaki he certainly didn't expect to find himself at the bottom of a crater 100 m away from the cave boom Naruto w again had to activate his chakra chain barrier to protect himself as the Rasen shuriken after all that finally exploded destroying the whole akitsuki base in the process as dust and debris flew around the entirety of the battlefield the fact that the Jutsu was only now taking effect was a true Testament of the blonde uzumaki's speed with a swift release Naruto waited patiently for everything to settle down before deactivating his barrier marveling at the sheer power and destruction caused by the Rasen shuriken as he observed the side of the former akitsuki base one P atsuki down approximately nine more to go what Naruto trailed off Eyes Wide in utter shock and surprise his senses Deb acting a presence haing behind him a good 30 MERS above the surface without hesitation Naruto spun around to face his seemingly Immortal opponent eyes widening even further in surprise when he took in the sight before his eyes tor's akitsuki cloak and the kazak's clothes were torn to shreds by the Fatal damage that should have been sustained by the Puppeteer and his puppet respectively but there was no actual injury in sight instead each of their bodies were covered with numerous cracks all over their bodies more especially the area branching out from the dent where Naruto's renin had made contact however the cracks and even the dent mended together and disappeared before Naruto's very own eyes nuto wanted to smack his head into a wall with realization at his own foolishness yes he'd sensed that sesori and the kazak's bodies seemed to be shrouded in some kind of thin layer of chakra but he'd ignored that particular detail as he couldn't make out what it meant exactly he'd actually thought that maybe sesori Was preparing a Jutsu a Jutsu that he considered to be irrelevant because he was going to use Swift release to strike first he should have but he never realized that the chakra shrouding that he sensed was actually this he now realized who empired most and even possibly every Jutsu in gara's Arsenal he covered his and the kazak's whole body with iron sand for protection against physical attacks this is the same technique as gar sand armor technique except this one is much stronger impressive sesori really did Master the kazak's powers to their full extent I suppose it's to be expected he's a real genius not to mention he's actually had the kazakage in his Arsenal for roughly 20 years now that should have given him more than enough practice time Naruto thought uzamaki narut you have done well to survive this long against me I haven't been pushed this far since I F leader Sama sori said with a Serene expression uzamaki Naro is predominantly a close range comand this is good now that we're outside of the cave I can actually fly out of his attack range while I attack him from the skies this is after all one of the main strengths of the third's iron sand technique sesori thought delightedly leader who is this leader exactly Naro asked curiously you won't get any answers from me unless you think you can force them out of me sesori said simply > what a cocky thing to say is it because you think you're safe from me now that you're flying Naruto asked rhetorically save your words they are meaningless I won't suddenly lose my temperament and respond to your taunting you won't be able to manipulate me into close combat I'm immune to Such trivial emotions and urges sesori retorted I see well in that case Naro trailed off the blonde focusing his chakra with his left hand formed into a one-handed Ram seal secret Jutsu chakra suppression chains Naruto said calmly following the instant that Naruto announced the name of his technique a ceiling Matrix appeared over the kazak's abdomen as a multitude of gold colored glowing chakra chains burst out of the seal and WRA themselves tightly around the puppet's limbs and body the effect of this new development was immediate the chakra chains were meant to not only restrict movement but to suppress chakra as well therefore with the kazak's chakra no longer accessible this meant that sesori no longer had the ability to manipulate at iron sand hence the immediate collapse of sesori iron sand armor and the fall of the flying matlik sand that he was standing on and using defy gravity without these iron sand benefits sesori found himself forced to detach the chakra threads connecting him to the kazakage as he was sent plummeting from the skies along with a chained up kazakage nuto waited for the moment just before sesori landed on the ground before activating the Swift release shadowless flight technique again this time aiming for sori's chest cavity after seeing what sesori looked like without his cloak sori with his iron sand armor falling off and about to make contact with the ground realized immediately that landing on that surface would be to the literal and true death of him that is why with that realization sesori activated a seal on his back a seal that projected a set of spinning Wings on his back this man uiver proved to be life-saving as Naruto's attack missed completely the blonde hitting thin a as sori trajectory was all of a sudden completely reversed the Puppeteer flying up and away from the surface to the safety of the Skies once again Nudo took this in stride though the blonde uzamaki not betting an eyelash at all simply canceling his renan and changing his trajectory and Direction so that he can catch the falling kazakage in his arms before it crashed into the ground following that maneuver Naruto released a storage scroll from a storage seal on his left wrist spread it out on the surface and sealed the kazakage into the scroll the scroll poofing away and into his storage seal Lon a moment later he sealed away the kazaki aori thought not really sure what to make of the blonde uzumaki's actions Naruto seeing the questioning look on his adversary expression went on to explain without any verbal prompting from the Rogue Puppeteer earlier I disrespected your art by calling you an old man that likes to play with dolls I would like to take that back in fact I would actually like to apologize for that your art is simply amazing and incredibly dangerous actually you are the most powerful opponent I have ever faced by a substantial margin Naruto said sincerely what does that have to do with you sealing away my prized possession sori asked curiously seemingly unfazed by the blonde uzumaki's flattery I want to study this human puppet technique of yours it would be a great technique to add to the uzamaki clan archives Naruto said honestly I thought so your words of Praise were insincere after all sori said causing the blonde uzamaki to frown with confusion what do you mean nuto asked you praise me as the strongest opponent you have ever faced and even claim to have a genuine desire to learn my art because of how powerful it is yet at the same time you talk down to me as if Victory is already assured for you the fact that you think that you will live long enough to exume that puppet body and learn its Secrets is more than enough proof of your insincerity Tori said with a strict and critical attitude oh I see what you mean however you'll have to forgive me but I don't see how you can win this battle now not only have you lost your trump card but your one weakness has also been revealed to me what can you do in your current situation Naruto asked pointedly staring at the Hard Box in sori's chest cavity that contained The Only Living remains of his original human body we shall see about that uzamaki Naruto sesori said venomously uzamaki Naruto is unpredictable I never imagined someone like him would be interested in learning what many have considered to be an abomination of a technique that disrespects the dead not only that but he's exceptionally smart he even intended to capture the kazakage from the beginning earlier he explained the mechanics behind the Rasen shuriken to Chi obaba but that explanation was not intended for her it was intended for me sori thought as he tried to retrace the steps that lead him to exactly where he was at the moment he wanted to kill me but he didn't want to destroy the kazakage puppet so he indirectly warned me of the danger so that I can escape the RAS and shuriken at the time I thought it was his inexperience that made him give away such important information but I was the one who was being exploited instead he just wanted me and the kazakage out of that sphere at any cost furthermore when he and his clone hit us with renan he used a low powerered renan on the kazakage and a fully powered one on me that's how it felt and that was also proven by the minimal amount of damage on the kazak's sand armor compared to mine also at the same time he placed a ceiling Jutsu on the kazakage but didn't Place one on me this is further confirmation that he was going for the kill with regards to me but was only trying to capture the kazakage puppet however the feeling Jutsu would have been unnecessary if I had died from that renan because there would have no longer been a puppeteer to control the kazakage what was on his mind at the time then did he expect me to survive somehow or did he think that I had traps within the kazakage set to activate upon my death or traps set to activate if someone else tried to fiddle with the puppet those are the only possible reason for using the ceiling Jutsu on the kazaki A J only and not me why else would he have done that it's a sorry thought unable to help himself but to fear for the outcome of this battle he would never admit this to anyone but the blond jinu's Powers combined with his intellect scared the crap out of him Tori snapping out of his Ry released a number of seals himself two on each side of his torso below his arms and one on each of his shoulders the seals glowed only for a moment and then with a puff of smoke released sori's latest attack formation each seal releasing an extra arm for sesori to use in combat sori controlled all eight arms to point downwards with the palms of each hand open and facing downwards as a seal formed on each of the Palms s these got what now eight arms what is that supposed to be used for Naruto thought wearily I need to confirm the extent of his speed before doing anything else this should do the trick sesori thought the Rogue Puppeteer channeling his chakra to each of his palms each of the seals on each Palm to be exact secret puppet art water jet barage sesori whispered the seals on his palms shooting water jets at ridiculous speed simultaneously and continuously Swift release flash step technique Naruto whispered before disappearing from his position altogether tor's water jet was a Jutsu comprised of a storage seal variation that stored a near Limitless amount of water compressed said water and expelled it in a compressed form at inhuman speeds one seal had the ability to release these Jets at continuous intervals with barely any time at all between intervals on top of that the seal was placed on the palm of a puppet arm a puppet arm that itself had the ability to twist around and move about with inhuman reflexes agility and speed now take that all together and and add the fact that there are actually eight of those Arms shooting successive barrages of water jets that are fast and powerful enough to penetrate almost any defense and one can imagine what kind of danger a Shinobi facing this technique would find themselves in especially considering that sori created this Jutsu as a potential counter to namic is monado's flying finder God technique after all who in the Shinobi World hadn't heard of the yellow Flash of koha and his heroics on the battlefield Tori didn't know whether to be surprised or not what he was seeing was something that should not be possible yet he was seeing it with his very own eyes Okay so he didn't have actual eyes anymore but his puppet body did and what it was seeing should not have been possible it literally looked like nuto was everywhere at the same time to the point that sesori wasn't even aiming to hit nuto anymore how could he when there were so many after images of him all over the battlefield he was now just launching the water jets everywhere that he thought the blonde might be and everywhere else around the Battleground he knew it wasn't a jinjutsu and he could tell that it wasn't an illusionary Ninjutsu either the blond Chiki really was moving at that kind of speed the battle proceeded in this manner for the next 25 minutes straight sesori knew that it was hopeless but he was hoping that Naruto would get tired enough to slow down become sloppy in his movements or both but neither happened nark stamina was quite ridiculous even for Ain chuii sori had to find out the hard way his water jet seals eventually Running Out of Water something else that he'd never experienced or seen before just as well sesori supposed those seals required quite a substantial amount of chakra to maintain altogether he wouldn't have been able to keep it up for much longer anyway is that it was that your ultimate offense of Jutsu Naro asked no I have another one but I already know that it won't work either not against your chakra chain barrier and I know now that your reflexes are good enough to activate it in time so you see it's pointless now I can't defeat you sori conceited with the same even tone and stoic demeanor so then you'll surrender and allow me to kill you Naro asked with a quirked eyebrow not really believing that sori would admit defeat so casually no I still have enough chakra to fly out of here safely I'll Retreat for now and warn the others about you probably leader will send a team more equiped to deal with your unique powers or maybe just maybe he'll come after you himself hn that would be interesting to see sesori said with a musement that would be the smart thing to do but I'm sorry I can't allow you to do that Naruto said snapping his hands together in concentration and flaring his chakra slightly he's preparing another Jutsu I better fly away quickly and Nani sori thought in Surprise looking down only to see a spear made out of ice sticking out of his chest cavity right through the heart box that contains the only remains of his actual flesh forgive me but I cannot allow any harm to come to Naruto K this is the end of the line for you sori s sori heard a soft but emotionless voice coming from behind him the Rogue soon a puppeteer's head twisted around in an unnatural complete 180° to get a clear view of what exactly transpired one imagine his surprise when he saw not only the face of his murder but also the method of attack that was used to execute the deed the akitsuki member coming face to face with an effeminate male figure with big brown eyes and long RAV hair with a ponytail tied with a top knot and two long bangs framing his soft and strangely beautiful facial features the figure wearing a dark blue kimomo with black Shinobi pants wrapped with white bandages at the ankles and dark blue Shinobi sandals carrying a single weapons pouch located on his left thigh why you that Jutsu you're mamachi you haaku aren't you you're supposed to be dead sesori exclaimed uncharacteristically staring at the strange scene with disbelief a young boy looking no older than 15 years old was protruding only half of his body from a mirror made out of ice holding a spear also made out of ice on his right hand the same spear that was responsible for fatal damage that sesori just a few moments ago sustained Naruto K was concerned and weary about getting captured by you and your friends so he summoned me before he departed for this Mission asking only that I watch his back and help win if it looks like he is about to lose I accept it of course he is after all a very precious person to me hacku replied simply did you just say that you were summoned sesori asked harshly experiencing a combination of emotions at the same time astonishment realization and disbelief being the predominant ones you're about to die anyway so there's no harm in telling you I was summoned through the ensei technique you're not the only one that can use the powers of the deceased it seems Aku stated matter of factly proceeding to disintegrate great as ice Spear and teleport both himself and sesori to nark location it seemed his master and dear friend wanted to have a word with the Puppeteer before his departure to the afterlife andame hok's reanimation Jutsu ha yamaki Naruto you are one interesting individual indeed I never would have expected this kind of Jutsu from someone like you sesori said with what would have been a smile on his face had he possessed a normal human body the Puppeteer now standing a lone meter away from the blonde uzamaki with Haku now standing on Naruto's right hand side we both underestimated each other I never expected something as crazy as the human puppet technique from you either Naruto said with an amused smile plastered on his face modesty even in the face of Victory you're a strange person I can't honestly say that I have met anyone like you before not counting myself of course you've been drawing comparisons between us for quite a while now initially I had no idea where you were coming from that is until I heard the story about your past you see I was also betrayed and manipulated by the sand a hok and his students seem to have taken a page from his book too I also know just like you what it feels like to face scorn and hatred from your own countrymen to have your own people the people you have spent your entire life protecting throw all your efforts back at your face even wishing that you would simply disappear and never return that is one of the greatest of pains a person can ever experience even though you're not a genui I can't help but feel like you and I could come to understand one another Naruto said nostalgically you have presented some interesting points all which I would find it hard to dispute but where are you going with this yamaki Naruto sesori asked curiously earlier you told me that you and I could have become good friends in a different world that got me thinking what if I were to create this different world if I were to succeed and create the world that you were talking about would you be willing to give our friendship a chance would you be able to put the past behind you and put in a sincere effort in starting a new life by my side as friends Naruto asked with a dead serious tone staring at sori's eyes with an inquisitive expression are you aware of the Fatal injury that your friend from the Yuki Clan Has inflicted on me unless you can create this new world of yours within the next 5 minutes there is no value in even considering your words at this point sesori said matter of factly and let me ask you this rhetorical question are you aware of my ability to resurrect the Dead with the OT tensei technique Naruto asked with condensing sarcasm so by friendship you actually meant that you wanted me to be a mere puppet in your Jutsu Arsenal sesori asked indignantly I don't understand why you're so offended have you taken a good look at yourself lately you're already a puppet and I had nothing to do with that you did that all by yourself Naruto retorted with a triumphant smirk ha that was a good one Naruto cun I don't think he has a comeback for that Haku said with an amused smile I know but anyway that was just a joke sori San I don't intend to turn you into a puppet at least not my puppet Naruto said adopting a serious tone and expression once again and whose puppet would I become sesori asked with a hint of cynicism right now you're your own puppet and that is how it would be when I resurrect you don't think that I don't know what you were trying to do when you did this to yourself I understand perfectly when we first met you were arguing with dadara about what true art really is that time you said that art is something that has a beauty that is Everlasting something that can transcend time itself you then went on to allude to the fact that your puppets do exactly that they TR in time and can exist for a countless number of years following that I then found out that you tried to turn yourself into those very puppets that you claimed to have the ability to transcend time and add the fact that your former partner in the akitsuki was arachim Maru someone who has sought immortality since he was but a teenager well when I put all of that into account it makes it quite easy to discern what your greatest dream is in this world you wish to become immortal to exist forever so that you can continue to make breakthroughs in your art you wish to create one of the greatest if not the greatest of legacies in the history of the elemental Nations even surpassing that of the sage of the six paths isn't that right sori Nito asked rhetorically listen I'm not trying to turn you into my puppet the body of a reanimated person is Ageless Immortal and has an unlimited chakra pool in other words the reanimated person's body has the ability to transcend time itself I won't bind you to my will I'll allow you to be yourself I'll even use the uzamaki Clans contract seal if it will make you feel any better contract seal what is that Jutsu what is its purpose sori asked with sudden curiosity contract seal is a kutsu of the uzamaki clan created as a counter to the summoning technique the application of this seal severes the connection between the Summoner and his summons since the reanimation technique is a summoning variation the contract seal should be able to severe the connection between a reanimated body and its Summoner sori you're running out of time you're going to die soon please make your decision Naruto pleaded with a concerned expression why why are you willing to go this far for me I tried to capture you and eventually kill you I threatened to torture you and even threaten your lover why would you go this far for someone like me and what guarantee do you have that I won't betray you I'm still a member of the akitsuki sori asked incredulously because you remind me of myself killing you without giving you a second chance would be the same as killing myself your methods your history your personality and even your dreams aren't too different from mine in fact you and I are so much alike that it hurts just to witness the end of your road if this is how it ends for you then what does that say about my future there so naive you really think that I will betray the organization for a stranger like you listen to me carefully Akatsuki is a well-organized institution with a Clear Vision and step-by-step process and plan to achieve its goals akitsuki has given me purpose a goal to look forward to and they have even entrusted me with an important role in the organization I run one of the most essential departments in the organization the Espionage division aitsuki unlike my former friends and family did not judge me or fear me instead they appreciated my talents even lorded them and even found a good use for them if you believe for one second that I will betray them for you then you are even more foolish than I originally thought Tori said with unwavering conviction Tori I don't think you understand what I was trying to say I'm not as naive as you seem to think I am thinking like that only tells me how much you're still underestimating me and what is that supposed to mean exactly sesori demanded I would never ask you to betray your comrades just as I will never betray my true comrades I have founded a new organization we go by the name akak kitsun this organization's purpose is to kill each and every member of the akitsuki to destroy koha and finally to help in rebuilding the new Village hidden in the whirlpools this is part of the new world that I plan create however I am not naive enough to believe that the other ninja villages will sit idly while all of this is happening sunna as allies of koha will likely become an enemy to our new organization Kumo Kiri and Iowa were originally responsible for the destruction of the old Whirlpool Village the reestablishment of the village will be seen as a major Threat by them as a result a fourth great Shinobi war is a very likely result whichever way you look at it there are strong strings that connect you with the akitsuki but in the new world that I plan to create akitsuki does not exist and depending on how negotiations with the kazaki Garo sunna will not exist either this is when I plan to resurrect you when the strings that connect you to your past have been completely severed enabling you to form new strings to connect with us the New World poool Village I want you to help us win the fourth Shinobi World War at the end of this war there will only be one remaining Village it will be the last war we will take over everything at the end of this war and unite the Shinobi world into one unit just like the samur I have done in the land of will finally be peace in the world Naruto explained with conviction I can't believe it who would have thought that such a young child would conceive something like this so then this means that all that talk about becoming Hokage was a load of rubbish Al together he never intended to become the Hokage but rather his real dream is to become the uzukage yamaki Naruto you and I will make good friends indeed a sorry thought with Intrigue and dare he say a little excitement but the destruction of koha and akitsuki there will be an abundance of corpses to use for your human puppet technique and an abundance of Na for me to use the reanimation technique these Jutsu will help us compensate for our shortage in numbers as a new hidden village I do have a few Clans that have joined the village already but they won't be enough the reanimation Jutsu will be needed so will your human puppet technique Naruto explained taking a short breathe before asking the make or break question so what would you do sori San would you join the hidden Whirlpool Village would you become my friend Naruto asked with baited breathe all right I have heard you you Zaki narudo and yes if you manage as unlikely as that is to create a world in which Akatsuki no longer exists I will believe in you I will believe in your vision and I will sincerely give our friendship a chance I will join the village hidden in the whirlpools from that moment onwards I will become Sor of the blood red whirlpools Tori answered sincerely blood red worldl pools what do you mean by that Haku asked curiously blood is to spill in order for yuz zashi aakar to exist the blood of akitsuki the blood of koha and the blood that will be spilled in the fourth Shinobi War therefore it is only appropriate for me to take on such a name sesori answered simply I see was all Haku said in response Naruto Khan is determined to fulfill his dream even though he knows what it will cost to achieve it his resolve is much greater than mine Haku thought worried and even shamefully knowing that he never would have had the strength to carry such a burden he didn't have it in him to take a life no matter what the circumstances the only reason he was able to deliver the Fatal blow on sesori was because Naruto used a control tag on him that took away his feelings of remorse if it wasn't for that his fear of taking a life would have hindered his ability to protect his best friend thank you sesori your help will be appreciated and most importantly I glad that you gave us a chance you wonk regret this nuto promised I should hope so in any case I don't have much time so listen up sori said quickly channeling his chakra to the storage seal on his left arm the seal with a puff of smoke releasing two books one of them was a small hand book and the other a very thick and heavy book what are those Naruto asked with a quirked eyebrow the big one is a manual containing every single piece of information not only about kugutsu in general but about the secrets of my personalized kinjutsu human puppet Jutsu included I thought that you would need this since you have taken possession of the sandan kazakage the small book is my journal containing my day-to-day running of my spy Network and all the names locations and secrets of my contacts it also contains meeting dates and a lot of other interesting facts for this I only ask one thing in return Sor trailed off suggestively and that is Naro asked curiously but you let it be known to the whole world that you are the prized student of akasuna noas that is all I ask sori said as if merely talking about the weather I'm sorry sori San but I can't do that Naruto replied to the surprise of both sori and Haku what did you say sori asked incredulously this technique I did not intend to use it for myself it contradicts with my fighting style I intended to discover its secrets and pass them on to one of my dear comrades she needs it a lot more than I do not only that but she also has a Jutsu that would compliment this one to a great extent but I will ask her to tell everyone that you are her Sensei I don't think shek have a problem with it at all Naruto said I see so who is this person as her Sensei I deserve to know her name at the very least sori asked with more than a little curiosity their name is kurami akumo here is a picture of her Naruto said pulling out a picture of the Exotic Beauty from a seal on his left wrist and showing it to the akitsuki Puppeteer kurami Akuma a member of the nearly extinct kurarama Clan where did you find someone like this sori asked with a pleased undertone I found her in koha she is a once in a century kurarama Clan genius her Illusions have the power to twist and alter reality itself however she has suffered from a chronic illness that has severely limited her physical capabilities so much so that she was declared unfit to become a Shinobi and deregistered from the Kohan ninja ranks I was able to cure her recently but she is still a few years behind in her physical conditioning during our fight I realized that kugatsu enables the user to execute T Jutsu and kinjutsu attacks that a normal human is incapable of producing this should make up for her lack of physical training also with her powerful wide range and nearly unbreakable reality altering jinjutsu she can manipulate the battlefield to her liking Heck if she wanted to she could even manipulate an enemy into believing the human puppet to be real thing I have other ideas for her specifically in which she could use this Jutsu but she is the only that can pull it off Naruto trailed off as his mind was suddenly bombarded with a lot of crazy ideas for yakumo's version of the human puppet technique he's getting excited about someone else attaining power does he really trust this girl this much isn't he worried about her getting so strong sesori pondered are you sure about this Naruto K can you really trust her with so much power Haku as if reading sori's thoughts asked uhuh of course why wouldn't I trust her besides this is for her own safety she needs to have something that will make up for her current physical weakness she's taken on a big risk by helping us with our goals the least I can do is to look out for her Welling besides if any one of our comrades get stronger then that is the same as us getting stronger we are all different parts that together form one body remember that Naruto said with conviction I think I understand please forgive me I didn't mean to be so negative Haku apologized with a polite bow of the head he's different from him Zabuza SAR ruled with an iron fist using overwhelming power to attain comrades and fear to prevent them from betraying him Naruto Khan on the other hand gathers allies through friendship and uses trust and love to win over their loyalties two extremely different methods but equally effective however loyalty gained through fear can be lost easily if someone more powerful and scarier comes along but loyalty gained from love and compassion cannot be lost so easily even in the face of certain death also a leader who has the love of his comrades Breds a much more powerful Shinobi Force than one who rules with an iron fist after all a person can only attain true stength if he has something precious to protect Haku thought nostalgically don't worry about it I understand where you're coming from I just want you to also understand where I am coming from that's all I understand and I agree with you I think that's a good and reasonable way of looking at it hacker replied in any case I have entrusted everything to you Naruto take care of my Apprentice until my return I have no intention of doing otherwise Naruto said with determination I know also there's one more thing sori trailed off so cabuto is sori spy in rimu circle who would have thought Naruto thought with Intrigue and a little excitement unable to help but chuckle at the image of Kabuto's possible reaction when he finds out that the talent idiot that Kabuto so easily dismissed as nothing but a failure 3 years ago has not only defeated his master but is now his boss I never thought I'd be looking forward to seeing him again life is so amazing so full of Miracles Naruto thought with Amusement so you'll simply present this prototype as sori's real body to sunna and give the real body to yukumo San to use for her puppet techniques Haku asked curiously you heard what sori said right he doesn't want sunna to profit from his achievements frankly I also don't want to face the possibility of fighting against sori's Real body again so yes that's what I'm going to do Naruto replied casually am I suppose you're right but what about the information that sori revealed about Kabuto are you going to meet up with him at the teni bridge Haku asked curiously yes I will meet up with him of course I want to hear what he has to say also this will give me the opportunity to kill archimo and take what I can from his research if there is one thing that I have learned it is that knowledge is power I have now got in my possession all of sori's knowledge if I can get arachim as well it will more than make up for what I lack in experience but not only that this Jutsu knowledge and scientific research will help to ensure the future of the Uzumaki Clan and by association The Village hidden in the whirlpools the blonde yuzaki explained I see but how are you going to go there and come back without detection koha has kept a tight leash on you and it will be even tighter when they find out that you have become strong enough to take down a member of the akitsuki on your own don't worry about that the meeting is a whole 2 weeks away I have more than enough time to think of a plan in any case the time for my departure is nearing I will probably leave soon after I kill arachim Maru you seem a little overconfident don't forget arachim Maru is a sanon and a former akitsuki member it won't be that easy Haku said with a warning undertone I know that but arachim Mark arms were sealed in sight of the death God by the third Hokage he has lost the ability to utilize most of his Ninjutsu also I have you as my trump card don't I you make good points but you should hurry up and learn the Demonic I mirors I don't want to have to kill any more people than necessary and not that I didn't enjoy meeting you again and getting to know you better but I would like to return to Zabuza sama's side as soon as possible I hope you understand you're my best friend but Zabuza is my most precious person Haku said with a somber expression I know don't worry I recently mastered water manipulation I am now working on combining it with my wind Affinity I am closer now to Breaking the yin-yang formula to successfully comb the two elements I should have it nailed down in about a week there are countless Shadow clones working on it as we speak I promise to release you as soon as you teach me the Demonic I mirrors you'll be able to return to abuses side sooner than you think Naruto replied with a pad on the back and a grateful smile it's not that I don't enjoy spending time with you nor is it that I don't want to protect you but there's no need to explain I understand you're a great friend Haku and I'm grateful for everything that you have done for me Naruto said cutting the off definate boy off mids sentence I thank you Haku whispered so softly that nuto almost thought that he imagined it almost for what Naruto asked with a quirked eyebrow for everything for being my friend for giving me a purpose even in death and for taking away my pain and remorse Haku said with a smile of his own they strange in a cool kind of way though Naruto said playfully H you're one to talk Haku retorted with a light punch to the blonde uzumaki's shoulder gu Nudo replied the two friends one of monster and one a zombie sharing a peaceful and carefree laughter together something that would seem very strange for a third party's point of view if there was one to witness it so yeah Naro asked I should probably go now are you going to be all right Haku asked yeah I'll be fine thank you but before you go there's something I need you to do for me Naruto trailed off and that would be I need you to take these two books that Sor left for me and make copies of them two copies of each and then bring both the originals and the copies to me in exactly 3 days Naruto ordered authora ofely no problem but why the need to make copies Haku asked I want to keep the original so that I can give them back to their rightful owner when I resurrect him one pair of copies will be for yukumo Chan and the other will be for the yuzaki clan archives and for me to look over whenever I please Naruto explained as he handed the scroll within which the two books are sealed over to Haku two copies of each H that won't be a problem I'll have it down in no time at Naruto K what's wrong hack who ask anxiously there's whole lot of people coming this way fast it must be the reinforcements chob basama was supposed to organize hurry up and go it won't look good if I am seen with you Naruto ordered hastily add it hacku replied with equal haste as he instantly teleported himself away through an ice mirror the mirror turning into a puddle of water as soon as his body disappeared into it every Jutsu has a flaw this jutsu's flaw is that it leaves evidence of its use behind in the form of a water puddle if it wasn't for the fact that sesori sprayed a a whole lot of water on the battlefield during our fight I would have found myself hard pressed to explain a random puddle in the middle of the desert I'll have to find a way to make the mirrors evaporate instead of melting nuto thought analytically nuto K Lee running ahead of everyone else shouted as he closed in on the blonde uzamaki Lee nuto K are you all right where's sori Lee asked in quick succession kicking up at dust cloud as he came to a sudden stop in front of the blonde uzamaki I am all right Lee and I will explain everything when everyone else arrives Naro answered simply oh okay that actually makes sense this way you can avoid repeating yourself Yos good strategical thinking Naruto K I should write this down on my notebook Lee exclaimed enthusiastically quickly pulling out a small notebook and a pencil seemingly out of nowhere and scribbling quickly inside said book I wonder if Shob basama had a chance to say anything incriminating about me before she died did she mention the kazakage I hope she didn't because I'm definitely not going to hand such a powerful weapon to a potential enemy Naruto thought Naruto K is not the same Naruto K from 3 years ago this Naruto K is not as youthful as the old one he's almost like nii now Naruto K what could have happened in that training trip to dampen Your Flames of Youth to this extent Lee thought with a concerned expression is something the matter Lee Naro asked staring inquisitively at the Bold haired teenager from the corner of his right eye and no it's nothing Lee answered as he quickly looked away from the blond Jin chuii seeming finding the dirt on the ground to be very interesting all of a sudden those eyes since when did nuto K have such a malicious gaze something strange is definitely going on with him maybe I should talk to Guy sensei about this he might know something about what's happening to Naruto K Lee thought if even Lee is starting to catch on then my time in koha is a lot shorter than I thought hn I guess I shouldn't be surprised people may be ignorant when it comes to matters concerning me but they certainly aren't [ __ ] this was bound to happen eventually nuto thought with an audible sigh everything okay Naruto K Lee asked curiously the others have arrived I will explain everything soon Naruto said Lee turned around to face the direction that he came from and indeed close to 100 Sun Shinobi along with Team guy Sakura Kakashi tamari kanguro and the resurrected kazaki Gara himself were arriving on the scene with a revived gar leading the Entourage the former it chubbi Jin chuii stopping right in front of the blonde Jin chuii the two separated by only a soulle meter where is aori gar asked with his usual emotion deficient Tone been here Naruto replied simply handing over a storage scroll to the goding kazakage with a Ki for puppet inscribed on it puppet gar asked with a confused frown the goding kazakage wouldn't go anywhere near as far as declaring himself to be a seal Master but he was sure that he had more than enough knowledge on the sealing Arts to know that this was without a doubt not the kind of ceiling Jutsu one would use to store a human body in fact it was quite easy for him to tell that this was a normal storage scroll used to seal inanimate objects for Naruto to claim that sesori was inside that scroll was if you asked him completely obsurd sori turned himself into a humanoid puppet in other words he replaced almost his entire human body with puppet body parts to my understanding this was done in order to take away most if not all human limitations the very essence of mortality included Naruto explained so it's true what tamari and sinti said he's very different more serious and much more politically and professionally mature but what about his emotional maturity gar pondered briefly explain something to me if as you seem to have implied sesori was trying to attain immunity and immortality through this procedure how did you kill him then gar asked skeptically he couldn't completely turn himself into a puppet of course after all puppets cannot generate their own life force and chakra there was a small piece of living flesh near the area where one's heart would be I was able to kill him by stabbing through that small part of his body Naruto explained with an indifferent tone so then if I were to unseal the scroll would I be able to see this so-called living flesh gar asked no Naruto replied simply explain yourself gar ordered almost immediately I destroyed that part completely you have to understand sesori gave me an extremely hard time I couldn't take any chances I had to make sure however if you do unseal the puppet you will find the hole where the flesh was and some of his blood splattered around the area you can conduct a g test from that blood sample if you want confirmation Naruto responded I see gar said with equal indifference the bounty on sork head according to the Bingo book is 125 million I would like it to be transferred to this account Naruto said as he handed a small piece of paper to the kazakage much to everyone's by everyone meaning everyone who knew him well shock Naruto is that all you can think about after everything that happened everyone left everything and ran as fast as they could to get here so that we can help you everyone was about to risk their lives just for you and all you can think about is money what the hell is wrong with you Sakura shouted with more than a little fury I'm merely following standard regulation and procedure to answer your question directly no I not only thinking about money there are other things occupying my mind as well the ones you mentioned included the blonde yamaki said without a shred of emotion how can I take anything you say seriously when you sound so cold right now you're acting just like sasu k
