Kaguya
*RECAP*
I opened my eyes to see everyone staring up at the sky and it looked like it was the middle of the afternoon despite it being almost midnight. I ran up to Father seeing his eyes are now the Rinnegan same with everyone else except for Tobirama.
"Don't tell me Madara's launched his jutsu already!"
"Father, wake up! Come on, you're stronger than this!" I cried as I shook his shoulders but he wouldn't budge. "Dammit, it's no use." I looked around the area seeing that the reanimated Kage weren't affected along with Hikaru who was with Lord Third's squad. "Tobirama, let's meet up with the other Kage and Hikaru and think of a plan." I looked at the main battlefield seeing that Sasuke had protected team 7 from the jutsu with his Sharingan. "From what I can see, every living thing has been affected."
The ground began to shake once more as branches shot up from the ground wrapping itself around everyone around it. They started to come for me and Tobirama but we easily broke the wooden strands which gave up on us after a few attempts.
"No!" I yelled when they wrapped around Father. I tried to break him free but Tobirama held me back.
"Why am I not affected?" He wondered.
Something caught my eye at the other battle field. The masked man started to unravel revealing Yamato being its host.
"So that's why it was able to use wood style," I thought when he was also affected by the jutsu. I could see Hikaru joining up with the Third.
I looked back at Father hearing him mumbling something but I couldn't understand it.
"What are they seeing in there?"
Tobirama jumped towards the trapped shinobi attempting to cut down the bodies but the tree regrew then proceeded to grab us as well.
"Just what is this?" He muttered as we created a distance between them and the tree.
"There's no time, we have to regroup with anyone who's conscious." I replied as I scanned the area only seeing a couple of people. "Lord Third and Hikaru are close, we can meet up with them. My team are also conscious and fighting Madara."
Tobirama nodded and followed as I led him towards our two allies finding them attempting to cut down everyone around them.
"It's useless," Tobirama stated as we landed in front of them. "It regrows then it tries to get us."
"Everyone is trapped except team seven, they're fighting Madara as we speak." I informed them keeping my eye on their fight.
"We need to help them then, let's go." Sarutobi commanded making everyone nod and head towards the battle.
When we tried to leave, the branches noticed us, so they extended once more trying to capture us. I managed to dodge them and escape while the others held them off. I could see the fighting between Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara in the distance, still far from my location. They were holding up pretty well, but I have a bad feeling about this and needed to help them in anyway. Madara's chakra started to spike as the boys were draining making me weave seals and disappear into the ground. My speed was twice as fast with this jutsu but used more chakra than I wanted so I had to resurface and continued running only to be caught up in an explosion.
I held up my arms to protect my face from the rubble flying through the air and was pushed back a few feet. When I opened my eyes I was confused as to why a woman had taken Madara's place. Her chakra felt terrifying, as if she could kill with just her chakra. Her hair was extremely long and flying wildly around her, she used her hair to attack Naruto and Sasuke making me snap out of it and ran towards them again. I could see them in the distance. Suddenly, I started to fall and there was a bright light below me. I looked down and almost screamed at what I saw below me, lava.
"This isn't a genjutsu, this is real! How did this happen?" I thought but then looked up finding anyway to save myself.
I looked down again weaving signs creating a wind ninjutsu to propel myself up towards a small ledge above me. I grabbed on with both hands but the rock under my left hand gave out falling into the lava. I was able to pull myself up but wasn't sure how long this would hold. I looked around at my team seeing Sasuke had summoned a hawk to rescued himself and Naruto, Kakashi was holding Sakura while holding them up with a rope and Obito was pinned to the wall with a kunai. I saw they were all looking at me but didn't tip off the woman floating above us. If she knew I was here and attack me I'd be at a disadvantage; I'm too far from them.
Everyone's attention was on Kakashi and Sakura when the rope broke; they were falling towards the lava. While Sasuke went to help them, the woman attacked the bird with her byakugan striking its vital points making them fall as well. Naruto used his abilities to extend multiple arms from his nine tails cloak to grab everyone including me.
"You can float?!" Sakura yelled at him as the scenery changed around us into an environment with mountains.
"Ko, what are you doing here?" Kakashi questioned making everyone look at me.
"Thought I could help but I didn't expect any of this to happen. I would've taken my chances with those trees." I muttered honestly regretting getting into this situation.
We watched as the boys went to confront the woman but she appeared in front of them grabbing onto their throats. A black substance started to cover half of their bodies revealing itself to be Zetsu who admitted he was the woman's, Kaguya's, son and also the mastermind behind everything.
"Is there anything we can do?" I questioned looking over at Kakashi then looked back at the boys.
"I don't think so but we'll be ready if they do. Kaguya is able to absorb chakra which make us pretty useless."
"Naruto, how are you planning to fight against her?" Sakura asked the clone.
"This might be the last time but we gotta do all we can," he replied then walked over to Obito placing a hand on his chest. "It's what we've always done, in the end."
Sasuke first attacked with Amaterasu but was absorbed so Naruto charges towards her summoning clones. I saw it coming before anyone else did and I was taken aback from his jutsu, along with everyone else who saw it seconds later. He had used a reverse harem jutsu on Kaguya transforming into naked men.
"Naruto you idiot!" I shouted but was shocked when it actually worked. He managed to punch her in the face.
Both he and Sasuke attempted to seal the woman but she changed our location to a mountainous tundra then disappeared leaving the boys frozen in ice.
"Naruto, whose technique did this?!" Sakura questioned looking back at the clone Naruto.
"It's the lady's, jeez Sakura I thought you were supposed to be the smart one." I scoffed earning a glare from the pinkette.
Sasuke then used his Amaratsu to break them free from the ice prison. The woman summoned a portal beside her sticking her arm in it then appeared behind Sasuke pulling him into another dimension.
"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted. "Where did he go?!"
"He's not here, I don't see him." I said scanning the area.
Naruto went off to fight her alone, but she had the upper hand now that Sasuke is out of the picture. She made another portal appear attempting to grab Naruto but he jumped away. He floated in front of her as she made another portal disappearing. A loud cracking noise was heard above us. We all looked up seeing a glacier starting to break apart from the icy mountain followed by many others. The snow plummeted onto the ground creating a tsunami, Naruto's clone grabbed us once more leading us to safety far from the original. He was caught up in the snow but my attention turned away from the fight when I heard Obito waking up.
"Where am I?" He questioned with a weak voice as he held his head.
"Obito!"
Obito looked held out his arm looking down at his hand. "Kakashi? I'm not dead?"
"I helped you recover....but..." Naruto explained with a sad expression.
"Yeah I know....What happened to Madara? Did you defeat him?"
"No, things changed." Kakashi informed.
"I'll explain! I'll also tell you about the hermit, Kaguya and the seal!"
"I don't know what happened but does it mean you haven't defeated the enemy yet? In that case please take me there, we'll talk on the way."
"I can't sense Sasuke's presence and I can tell that the real me is anxious. It might be dangerous to go there!"
"I'm not sure whether we can help or if we're just in the way. But it's better to be there in case we are needed." Sakura said.
"We're pretty much in the way right now Sakura, and I don't suggest going to the battle. Naruto's in a tight spot and can't afford any distractions." I reasoned as I saw him struggling to get out of the snow that was on top of him.
"If we don't defeat Kaguya, our world is over. We are the only ones left that can do something. We are all prepared to die." Kakashi reasoned.
I felt eyes on me and looked over at Obito.
"What?"
"You might be able to help them Ko. Your clan's power was a threat to this plan and with Orochimaru's seal and chakra, you're able to control Sage ninjutsu. That might be the only way to handle her until we can get Sasuke back here."
"I can't make any promises. I don't have a lot of experience with it and I was told if my chakra depletes, I can lose control. I have no chakra stored in my necklace so I can only rely on my limited chakra which won't be much."
We all departed running towards Naruto and Kaguya as the clone explained the history of shinobi and Kaguya's past until the ice started to move again. We managed to reach a cliff that oversaw the battle. We saw an explosion in the distance with the real Naruto emerging from the smoke. I took in a deep breath feeling the nature energy around me, even what was radiating off of Naruto, and began to turn into my Sage form.
My snake vision helped more than my Subete Miru at this moment. I was able to see the heat of the chakra around her portable knowing exactly where she would appear.
"Look!" The clone shouted pointing at the real Naruto who was getting caught in her ice attack. Ice flew towards Naruto in all directions which he swiftly was avoiding. Luck wasn't on his side for long; the ice finally got to him knocking him towards the ground but before he could hit the ground, ice formed around him capturing him.
"Naruto!" Sakura shouted followed by me slapping my hand over her mouth.
"She's going to notice us if you keep shouting Sakura, that or you'll create an avalanche." I scolded as I looked around for her to appear again.
I started to see red appear above Naruto so I jumped towards it. Kaguya emerged from the portal and was surprised when I was right in front of her. Being up close was terrifying but I couldn't show my fear at this moment. I used my nails to scratch her midsection only cutting the fabric of her clothes when she flew backwards to avoid my attack.
I used all my concentration to control the ice around me just like she had done to Naruto. I used one piece to catch me as I fell while the rest were aimed at her. As she dodged, I used my other hand to control the snow floating around her. I smirked when I made the flakes propel into her eyes blinding her for the moment. She screamed in anger glaring at me which made my body freeze. My breathing started to become labored as the effects of this form started to take its toll on my body. She soared towards me holding out her arms making spikes emerge from her palms. I manipulated the ice to form a path as I dodged her assault.
My movements began to get slower and sloppy as my chakra continued to deplete. I barely dodged her next attack followed by her taking control of the ice beneath me. She propelled the spikes upwards impaling my legs making me scream out in pain. My eyes were only closed for a second as I processed then pain but when I opened them, there she was. I gasped at her close proximity, her killing intent was terrifying and the look in her eyes didn't help. I couldn't do anything to save myself; my Sage form was starting to wear off. I had enough for one more defense.
"This is my dimension. You cannot do anything!" She shouted with fury holding her arm out ready to kill me.
My eyes widened as her spike was about to hit me so I held up my arm as a shield when the spike stabbed my arm. Thankfully, I made my bones emerge just in time to take the attack so I detached them before her ability could destroy my whole arm. I looked up at her staring at the Sharingan eye frozen as she went to attack again but suddenly, her body flew away from me and towards Naruto.
Chakra started to emerge from Naruto melting the ice and setting him free. Their attacks collided and Kaguya was propelled into a mountain. He flew into the air creating hundreds of clones who all flew towards her but she extended her arm creating a purple fist which soared through the air destroying many clones. The clones went to attack her making her immobile when she blocked their attacks giving the rest of the clones the advantage of attacking her.
A portal opened above her giving her the chance to retreat. Naruto followed right after her but was unable to make it in. I was stranded on the ice platform with the ice spikes still in my legs. I looked down only seeing Kakashi but no Obito, Sakura, or Naruto's clone.
"Are you okay Ko?" Kakashi shouted with worry as he looked up at me.
"Does it look like I'm okay?!" I shouted back down suddenly feeling extremely weak.
My arms gave out from holding myself up and fell back onto the ice hitting the back of my head. I heard Naruto and Kakashi scream out with concern, but I was more focused on staying awake. I could see Naruto's orange blob float towards me while holding Kakashi then both looked over my situation.
"We're going to pull you out of these spikes Ko, it won't be pretty." Kakashi told me before looking at Naruto. They both bent down and Kakashi grabbed under my arms while Naruto had my legs. "Alright, ready?"
"Just get it over with," I mumbled still trying to stay awake.
"One, two, three!" He instructed then pain immediately took over my body radiating up from my legs making me cry out. My arms went straight to Kakashi's gripping them tightly as they continued to slide my body out of the ice.
Once I was free, Kakashi brought me back to where he was before and began to bandage my legs carefully but it still hurt like hell. Our attention was turned to the sky where Kaguya just appeared. Naruto's clones all flew towards her attacking simultaneously but Kaguya was easily defeating them. The clones all gathered protecting the Naruto with the black orbs floating around him. Steaks emerged from her palms striking all the clones defending Naruto.
I looked up at my former sensei seeing the anguish in his eyes as he patched me up while also focusing on Naruto's battle. It must be hard seeing his students fighting a powerful opponent and unable to do anything to help. I placed a hand on his leg giving him a weak smile.
"Don't worry Kakashi-sensei, because of your guidance, Naruto and Sasuke are going to save the world. Don't look so sad." I said to him just as Obito, Sakura, and Sasuke appeared in front of us.
Sakura's eyes widened when she saw the state I was in and rushed to my side.
"Ko, what happened?" She questioned as she looked over Kakashi's bandaging.
"Spikes went through my legs, do you have any chakra left?"
"Unfortunately no, I can't do anything for you right now."
"Shit," I cursed not knowing if these bandages would help or not. I was losing a lot of blood.
Sasuke sprang into action running towards Naruto as Kaguya captured him with her hair. We all gasped when she ran a spike through his abdomen. His body started to turn grey soon cracking and peeling off like charred paper.
"Naruto!" Sakura cried covering her mouth.
Thankfully, he disappeared in a cloud of smoke making us sigh with relief.
"Thank you, Sakura, Obito!" The real Naruto shouted.
"He's okay!?" Sakura shouted in disbelief.
"You scared us there" Obito sighed.
"Sasuke! Did you thank Sakura and Obito?!" Naruto questioned the Uchiha.
"Focus on the enemy!" Sasuke responded with annoyance.
Suddenly, the scenery changed again and the gravity changed making us fall to the ground from the weight of it.
"My body, ugh, I can't move." I said as I struggled to simply lift my arm.
"This time she's using gravity but she's in the same condition as us." Sasuke struggled to say.
We all watched Kaguya as she slowly raised her arms with spike emerging from her palms. She aimed them at the boys and thankfully they were able to dodge. With all their might, Kakashi and Obito ran towards the two attempting to shield them from the next attack. Both were about to be hit until the spike that was meant for Kakashi disappeared.
"Kakashi, you stay here. Don't follow me." Obito said as he was hit in the stomach.
"W-why!? We should both-" He cried. "Your power is still needed here!" Kakashi scolded not wanting Obito to die in front of him again.
Naruto attempted to heal Obito by placing a hand on the back of his wound until Zetsu spoke up.
"It's useless, you can't do anything, he'll just rot like garbage. Why do you help him? He use to be your enemy. Well...he betrayed us too...he's just garbage. He'll be hated by both allies and enemies and no friends or relatives will be sad for him. He's alone, nothing will be left of him. He lost his loved ones, couldn't fulfill his dreams. He was used, lost his place to be, all he ever did was fail. Now you can just die."
"Bastard, what do you..."
"You're right, this death suits a criminal like me." Obito agreed earning looks from Naruto and Sakura.
Sasuke was finally ready to attack appearing next to Kaguya with his lightning blade but she flew into the air dodging the attack by changing the scenery once more. This time it looked like we were surrounded by pink rocks with striations looking like muscle tissue and thankfully the gravity was back to normal.
"Did she change worlds again?!" Kakashi questioned as we all looked around the area.
"Naruto, I'll be the decoy, we can't save him. Come with me." He watched Naruto knowing the blonde needed time to accept Obito's situation. "I'm going ahead." He activated his Susano flying off towards the enemy.
"Shit!" Naruto cursed.
"It's okay...thank you Naruto. Fighting with you helped me open my eyes. When I see you, it's like seeing how I was in the past. I regret becoming like this...but that also makes me happy. I used to imagine what it would be like becoming the Hokage. I felt excited and nervous. It's hard to describe...you made me remember that. I had a village, friends, I'd be Hokage. Just imagining that helped me fill the hole in my heart. I guess I'm nearing my end."
He soon began to crumble.
"You will probably have to suffer again from now on but don't change, keep going your way. You told me, that you never change your words that's your ninja way right?"
"Yeah,"
"Naruto, become Hokage at all costs." Those were his last words before turning into ash and disappearing with the wind.
Naruto flew up slicing Kaguya's arm off with rage. I looked over seeing Obito's ashes glowing blue followed by it rising then engulfed Kakashi's body.
"What the?" I questioned as the blue disappeared and Kakashi opened his eyes revealing two sharingan. "What the hell happened? How did you do that?"
"Let's just say it was a gift."
My attention was back to the fight seeing Naruto attacking Kaguya with...a sand rasengan? His other eight clones also had many variations of the rasengan making me raise a brow. "You just keep surprising me Naruto. Who knew the idiot from the academy would be battling a God?"
"Sage art: Super tailed beast rasen-shuriken!" They all shouted simultaneously as they threw each rasengan.
They all hit their target, but she was still floating as if she wasn't affected until her arm began to tremble and a white substance came shooting from her arm growing bigger and bigger swallowing her. It looked like the tailed beasts were emerging from the white substance.
"What...it's still that huge. What's that suppose to be anyway? A fox? Raccoon? Badger? Or could it be a rabbit?"
"Who cares. This makes it a lot easier to approach and seal as well."
Hands shot out from the beast heading towards us. Naruto and Sasuke were about to get caught until one of the Naruto clones pushed them out of the way taking the hit. One came towards Sakura and I making us scream so she picked me up running away from it. It was getting closer and closer about to catch us until a hand grabbed us. It was Susano but I was confused, Sasuke's was purple but this one was blue. We looked up to see Kakashi.
The hands came towards us once more so Kakashi brought us into the Susano's forehead with him then sent giant shuriken towards the enemy making the hands disappear. Chakra started to emerge from under the ground and was being absorbed by the creature in front of us making it grow in size then turned into a giant black orb. Kaguya finally emerged from the ball with a new arm replacing the one Naruto cut off earlier.
"I can't use Kamui on something that big even if we escape to another dimension. If that becomes too big, we won't be able to come back."
"To stop that," Sasuke started.
"We must seal that rabbit granny right away." Naruto finished as he pointed at the creature.
"Rabbit granny?" Ko questioned unsure why Naruto would call her that. She was a terrifying monster and now this has been the most terrifying battle. I really hope it's my last.
"Come here, I'll explain the strategy. This will be our last mission as team 7!" Kakashi commanded looking at his students. He had never felt happier than this moment despite the circumstances. Finally, after many years, the team is fighting together as one.
"I'm immortal. If either of you dies you won't be able to seal me. Well than, whom should I kill?"
The boys flew towards Kaguya who grew spikes on her head making them extended upwards. She shot them towards us penetrating Kakashi's defense. The spike went through his torso and with Obito's ability, it went right through him not inflicting any damage. He exited the defense heading towards the enemy with a black lightning blade which he was able to injure her shoulder.
I could only watch the fight intently with my Subete Miru as everyone sprang into action. As she was falling, Sasuke and Naruto got on both sides of her ready to form the seal. A portal started to form to her right so she used her left to shoot Naruto with another spike. Sasuke, then turned into smoke revealing Naruto now on her right. A spike emerged from the portal to hit the real Naruto but it disappeared thanks to Kakashi. Sasuke switched positions with Naruto's deteriorating clone ending up on the left side of Kaguya.
Kaguya started to fly upwards but Sakura came from above punching her back down towards the boys. Once she was close enough, they managed to put their hands on her starting the sealing process. As soon as she was sealed, we suddenly felt vibrations in the ground followed by cracks forming. The ground beneath us started to rise and form into a huge ball floating into the air. The tailed beasts started to fall from the sky landing on the ground near the others, but I was separated from them and Kakashi ran off to get Sakura. The ground beneath me started to crack then the piece I was on started to rise.
"Ah help!" I shouted, hoping someone would hear me.
I was starting to pass out seeing nothing but darkness. I felt myself falling towards the ground making me think it was the end but felt someone catch me.
"I'll take you to Sakura, you'll be alright." I heard Naruto say which brought me peace before I drifted off.
