Urashiki stared at Naruto coldly, he swung the fishing rod over his shoulder.
"Brat, you're quite slippery, to think Naruto was this talented at such a young age" He clicked his tongue begrudgingly
Sasuke's lips twitched
'Nope, no, this timeline's Naruto is just illogical' But he didn't say out out loud as he began his assault on Urashiki once more.
"If I'm correct, when his eyes turn red, he can teleport, and when it is blue, he can either see the future, or predict incoming attacks" Orochimaru said as he landed next to Naruto
"Agreed, so to deal with this, we need an attack he cannot avoid, nor counter even if he can see it coming" Naruto frowned
Orochimaru nodded
"This is a tough opponent...but if he dies, his body is mine" He said with a greedy look in his eyes
Naruto paused...
'If Orochimaru can be reborn in the body of this Urashiki...wouldn't he be of great use in the future?'
"I'll try my best to preserve his body for you" Naruto grinned
"Boy, do me this favour, and I'll owe you a big one" Orochimaru crackled as he opened his mouth, and snakes began to slither out in masses.
'Gross as usual'
Naruto gathered his nine clones, and they all rushed Urashiki at this moment as he fended off Sasuke's attacks.
"Tsk, annoying fly, buzz off!" Urashiki's usually composed expression began showing signs of breaking as anger slowly seeped out.
He swung his fishing rod towards Naruto, but the next instant
*Swoosh*
Dozens of kunais flew everywhere, and Naruto, along with his clones, began teleporting around Urashiki, whilst keeping a distance where his fishing rod cannot reach.
"Head!" Naruto appeared behind him and yelled
"Hng!" Urashiki turned around
"Back!" Another Naruto appeared behind him when he turned around, and smacked a rasengan into his back
Urashiki gnashed his teeth, it didn't harm him much, but the pain was rather intense. He swung his fishing rod at the one he was facing, however, Naruto teleported away before he even began swinging.
"Leg!" Naruto yelled as he threw needles at Urashiki's legs
Urashiki instinctively swung his fishing rod to block his legs
"Back!" Another Naruto appeared behind him, and once more, slammed a rasengan into his back.
Urashiki's rinnegan suddenly changed from red to blue, and lost all the tomoes in it.
'Rewind'
He shifted time back to before he was struck by the rasengan, and his rinnegan instantly switched to red, as he teleported away from his original position.
"Head!" However, despite his action of turning back time, he wasn't even given a second to breathe, as Naruto appeared above him with a rasengan in hand.
Urashiki's pupils shrunk, he quickly teleported away once more, but it's as if they could follow him forever. He looked around, the kunais were being thrown and caught, and in this infinite cycle, they followed him relentlessly.
Sasuke was amazed by this, he got a rough idea of Urashiki's abilities from fighting, and understood that Naruto was now attacking in a way that even if he avoids the first or second, there will be a third and a fourth.
"Dammit! Get lost! Die!" Urashiki was slowly losing his cool, and summoned hundreds of fishing line in order to destroy all the clones.
However...
"Beast bomb times ten!" They all shot out a beast bomb into the sky, blasting every fishing line he creates into smithereens.
"Back!" Naruto yelled
Urashiki turned around, however...
*Psht*
It was not his back, it was below! Needles were stuck into his legs, and he could feel his leg become slightly numb. But using his chakra, he forced the poison out and threw the needles away.
"Front!" Naruto yelled
'Another trick' Urashiki turned around, expecting Naruto to sneak attack him, however, Naruto truly teleported in front of him, and slammed a rasengan into his face!
"Side!" Two Narutos appeared, one to his left, one to his right, both with five rasengans in one hand.
"AH! DIE!" Urashiki screamed as he created a condensed chakra orb and shot it towards the Naruto on his right.
However, the two smirked and teleported, vanishing from his sights.
"DAMMIT!"
Suddenly, they both appeared right behind him, so close that he couldn't understand how, as none of the kunais were near him! But unknown to him, there was a flying raijin mark applied on his back, which naruto placed on him during the previous assault.
*Bang*
Ten rasengans slammed into his back, each rotating rapidly in different directions, and tore through his cloak, revealing a bloodied back.
"Damn, he's durable, that would tear through a person's guts, and out the other side, yet he only received some flesh wound" Naruto gasped
"Who cares, bomb him!" A clone yelled
They all shot out a beast bomb at Urashiki, whose eyes are now red from anger. He quickly teleported away from the explosions, and appeared behind one of the clones.
"DIE!" He screamed as he pierced his hand through the clone's back.
"Gotcha" The clone smirked at him before exploding into a puff of smoke
Urashiki was stunned, he looked at his hand, and on his arm, is a talisman that was preventing his chakra from flowing through to his hand.
*Swoosh*
The remaining eight all jumped at him at this moment
"Uzumaki style, clone seal bombardment of the shifting heavens!" They yelled as they grabbed onto Urashiki was was taken by surprise.
*Puff*
They all exploded, but each of them left a sealing talisman on him, just like the first. One wasn't an issue at all, but with nine, he felt his chakra flow become sluggish.
"Petty trick!" He screamed as he tore the talismans off
"Thanks boy" He suddenly heard Orochimaru's voice right behind him, as he struck his palm onto his back.
"Five element seal" His hand became snakes that latched onto Urashiki's body, and bit down as hard as they could.
"Urgh!" Urashiki's expression flinched
Naruto summoned nine more clones, and all ten of them surrounded Urashiki
"Uzumaki style, ten directional unbreakable diamond seals!" They yelled, as a massive seal formed under Urashiki's feet, with each Naruto forming a corner around him.
"Additional seal, genderbend style: Five minutes of humiliation!" One of the Naruto yelled
*Puff*
Whilst he was suppressed by the seals, Uruashiki suddenly transformed into a woman! He was stupefied, how did this happen! In fact, why did this happen!?
"Impossible! This is impossible! You're just a mortal, and Naruto, he shouldn't be this difficult to deal with! Absolutely impossible!" Urashiki was losing his mind as he screamed
His originally short hair became long, and it swayed as he screamed whilst shaking his head.
Naruto smirked
"Oi, grumpy, how do we kill him in the cleanest way?" Naruto turned to the approaching Sasuke and asked
Sasuke stared at Urashiki, and brandished his blade
"I'll end him in one go" He said coldly as his chidori formed into a lightning blade.
Within the lightning, flickers of black flames were seen.
"Wait, will that destroy the body?" Naruto asked
"Urashiki is incredibly resilient, if we don't exterminate him completely, we can't be sure he won't still be alive" Sasuke replied, prepared to wipe Urashiki off the face of the earth with a single blow.
"Now hold on! He's a living treasure trove! I want his body whole" Naruto gasped
Orochimaru nodded by the side
"His body is most interesting, possessing these strange eyes that I have never seen before" He licked his lips and chuckled
Sasuke was stunned, this person is incredibly dangerous, yet their thought has been on how to preserve his body!? Urashiki, who has heard all this trembled in rage.
"Don't you mock me! Mortals like yourself should just bow before me, and accept your demise! Each and every one of you pathetic beings!" He screamed hysterically
He could feel the poison spreading through his body rapidly, but his chakra was sealed by not only the talisman, but the five element seal and Naruto's ten-man sealing formation.
"Damn you all, damn you all!"
As a final act of desperation, Urashiki suddenly grabbed his own eyes, and ripped them out before shoving them into his mouth
"Tsk" Orochimaru clicked his tongue, he didn't think Urashiki would destroy his own eyes, and his interest in his body dropped drastically.
*Bang*
The talismans on him suddenly burned up, and Urashiki's body began twisting as it expanded rapidly.
"AHHHHH!" He let out a roar
His expanded body began shrinking back down, and an oppressive aura consumed them all at that moment. His hollow eyes slowly opened, revealing two piercing golden rinnegans, with a third rinnegan on his forehead.
"To have forced me to do this...none of you will have an easy death" He spoke in a low voice
Naruto stared at him
"So, uh, do you think he can still predict the future, or teleport?" Naruto asked
Orochimaru frowned
"Not sure" He replied
"Well, let's test it out then" Naruto grinned
*Swoosh*
*Bang*
Instantly, all nine clones dispersed when a powerful shockwave pressed past them. Urashiki stared at them as a mocking smile grew on his face.
"You...don't think you actually have a chance, do you?" He smirked
"Incredible..." Orochimaru revealed a glimmer of his previously lost interest
Sasuke flashed into the fray, and in his hand was the previous chidori.
*Bzzt*
The lightning crackled as he slashed down on Urashiki, however, his figure vanished from his sight for a split second, and appeared in front of him.
!!!!!
*Swoosh*
Before Urashiki could take action, he quickly used his rinnegan to switch places with Urashiki, before slashing his blade backwards.
"Hmph, useless" Urashiki sneered as he countered by grabbed Sasuke's wrist, and threw a heavy punch into his guts.
"Pwah!" Sasuke coughed, but he gnashed his teeth and continued to drive the chidori closer to Urashiki's neck.
Urashiki held his wrist tightly
"Everything you do is futile, let me show you the difference between a mortal like yourself, and a being such as I" He said in a cold, dead voice
He reached out his open hand towards Sasuke's head as he held him down tightly with his other hand.
Sasuke began sweating, as the hand came closer, his heart beat started to go faster.
*Bang*
"..." Suddenly, a figure dove under him, and lifted his cloak
"Huh, so he actually does have a nut, he was talking so much sh*t I thought he was all bark and no nut" Naruto muttered
"Don't you mean all bark and no bite? Also, why are you even looking down there?" Orochimaru asked with a rather perplexed look
"Kinda curious y'know? I've never met his race before, so I wanted to know if they reproduce asexually" He replied
"..."
As the two conversed, Urashiki and Sasuke were thrown into a complete daze. Even the sharingan's genjutsu is not as effective as putting someone into a daze as this situation.
But who in their right minds would do such a thing!?
"Hey Orochimaru, u still want his body?" Naruto asked
"It is an interesting one, I sense a near infinite amount of chakra within him, it's simply fascinating, even the Uchiha kid I was preparing seems to be lackluster compared to him" Orochimaru replied
Sasuke's lips twitched, can they just help him!? And he was offended, is Orochimaru saying his body isn't good enough!?
"Enough of this! It's time to end this" Veins bulged on his forehead as his grip on Sasuke tightened
He raised on hand up, and a ball of condensed chakra began forming. However, unlike the previous palm sized ones, this one began growing rapidly without an end to it.
"Die, all of you!" He roared, anger filled his mind, to the point that he even forgot his original goal of stealing the nine tail's chakra.
"Hey, that looks strong, you used up a lot of your chakra, right?" Naruto asked
"Hahaha! Are you scared now? This is condensed from more than half of my chakra, be it you, or this annoying pest, you will all die!" He laughed as the ball soon stopped at the size of the Ichibi.
The sheer size was terrifying, and one can only dread the end result if it landed
Naruto stared at him, and placed a hand on Urashiki's shoulder
"Buddy, let's go on a trip" He gave him a thumbs up and suddenly, both of them vanish...along with the massive ball of chakra.
But mere moments after they vanished, Naruto popped back with Urashiki, but this time, without the massive ball of chakra...
"..." Sasuke and Orochimaru stared at him, and didn't know whether they should laugh at this situation or not...
Urashiki had just stated that he used more than half his chakra on it, and...Naruto just went an teleported it away!
Urashiki still had his smile on his face, but his expression frozen for a bit. His smile slowly lowered into a clueless look, as he looked up.
His gaze trailed back to Naruto, then back up...
*Bang*
A sudden explosion occurred in the distance, and they all felt a massive shockwave wash past them, so strong that they almost took a step back. Urashiki was staring at the massive explosion in the distance with a blank look, he then turned around, and stared at Naruto once more...
"..."
At this point, Orochimaru and Sasuke were feeling a little bad for him, he was in so much shock that he couldn't even express his anger anymore. He just looks lost, absolutely lost.
"Hey, you still in there?" Naruto waved his hand in front of Urashiki's eyes and asked
"Three eyes, hey, three eyes" Naruto patted his cheeks
'Someone, stop this evil b*stard!' Sasuke groaned in his heart
Orochimaru was speechless, watching Naruto torment the poor man...
"Hm, maybe if I shake him, he'll come to his senses" Naruto rubbed his chin and muttered
Urashiki dropped to his knees all of a sudden, with his hands pressed against the ground
"Why...why won't you just let me absorb you chakra! Why is it this difficult to steal chakra from a thirteen year old child! Why! Why are you harder to deal with than your future self? Why!" He punched the ground and roared
'Poor boy' Orochimaru and Sasuke both thought to themselves as they gave Urashiki a pitiable look
Naruto knelt down in front of him as he stared him dead in the eyes
"Buddy...the Naruto of your timeline is a loser, kay? You came to the wrong neighbourhood bud, and I'm here to teach you the hard way, kay?"
'What are you? A hoodlum?' Sasuke thought to himself
"Y-You...you're not Naruto" Urashiki stared at Naruto and muttered
"I am" Naruto replied
"You're not, the one I knew is an idiot who would risk himself to save others, but you...you do a better job without risking yourself, you're not him" Urashiki trembled and said
'He has a point' Sasuke pinched between his brows and groaned, the Naruto of this timeline is seriously good at what he does, and he's actually getting a little jealous!
If the Naruto of his timeline could do the same, it would solve so many problems!
"Anyway, I'm gonna kill ya real quick, kay?"
'Enough with the 'kay' sh*t already! And why are you asking to kill him so casually!?' Sasuke was at a loss, is this still the diety like existance that he fought before?
"No...this isn't how it ends!" Urashiki gnashed his teeth as he glared fiercely at Naruto
He raised his fishing rod, and the string shot towards Naruto rapidly
*Swoosh*
"Hm, a final act of struggle with a fishing rod, it seems...fishy" Naruto teleported behind Sasuke and spoke with a dignified expression
"...was that a-"
"Yes" Naruto nodded with a serious expression
Sasuke's lips twitched, is now a good time to be making jokes like this? He turned back to Urashiki, who has finally regained his will to fight.
"Wretched mortals! Die for your sins!" Urashiki roared as he dashed at them
Sasuke summoned the arms of susano in a hurry in an attempt to block Urashiki, however, the impact caused him to step back as Urashiki smashed through the arms.
"Chidori" Sasuke muttered as he formed a chidori blade once more
"Oi grumpy, your chidoris sure are a cut above the rest" Naruto complemented
"...was that another-"
"Yes" Naruto replied
"..." He sighed and shook his head, his focus was once more on Urashiki, however, from the moment of distracting from Naruto, Urashiki already appeared before him.
His pupils shrunk as the fishing rod was slammed into his stomach, sending him tumbling back
"Phew, too bad he didn't make the cut, eh?" Naruto nudged Orochimaru and said
Orochimaru stared at him as if he was crazy
"Kid...you do realise that without the black haired kid, our chances against that guy greatly lowered, right?" He said
"Nah, not really, sure, his physical ability is stronger, but that's about it, haven't you realised? He can no longer use his teleportation, and prediction abilities" Naruto said calmly
"Hm...that does seem to be true, in that case" Orochimaru's tongue flicked as a dark smile grew on his face.
"Kid, I'll leave the distractions to you once more" He said
"Got it" Naruto grinned
'Oi Kurama, what'll be the backlash if I forcibly use five tails worth of chakra?' Naruto asked
[Brat, four tails is already pushing your body, five tails will leave you immobolised after a few minutes of usage]
'A few minutes will be enough' Naruto smiled
[Tch...fine, if you die, I'll be in a pickle as well, so I'll lend it to you]
'That's the spirit'
Naruto got on all fours as a fifth tail slowly sprouted behind him. The chakra cloak around him became much more dense, and the originally transparent colours became much darker. A mixture of red and black coloured chakra shrouded him, with only white piercing pupils that stared intently at Urashiki.
"Don't tell me he lost control" Orochimaru frowned
"Lost control my a*s! Get ready, I can't use this for long" Naruto scowled as he ran towards Urashiki on all fours.
Urashiki's eyes were red from anger as he ran at Naruto
"DIE!" He screamed, his fishing rod slamming downwards towards Naruto
Naruto reacted quickly as he turned his body to the side, avoiding the strike. When it landed, the ground split open in a line that continued for dozens of metres.
"Tss, if that landed, I'd be left without a body" Naruto gasped as he continued to roll to the side whilst creating clones as he dodged the incoming attacks.
"Enough tricks, all will bow before me!" Urashiki began swinging his fishing rod around, creating shockwaves with each swing.
The ground ruptured, splitting with each cleave.
The clones quickly spread out to avoid the relentless attacks, whilst Naruto remained nearby to keep him occupied.
With a total of five clones spreading around, they all began creating seals. However, unlike the previous ones that required nine main points which are made in a hurry, these five were extremely focused as they gathered every bit of chakra in their bodies to create the seal.
Sasuke pulled himself back up amidst this, and from afar, he watched as a monstrous amount of chakra began condensing at five points.
Meanwhile, Naruto was using everything he had to avoid the attacks, one hit, and he'd be out of the game for good. However, he didn't have the look of bitterness or worry on his face, rather, he maintained a smile, a smile that...sent chills down Sasuke's spine.
It was twisted, a completely crazed smile that made one question his sanity.
"So much power, if Orochimaru can take his body, then...then...hey Kurama, can you shut up for a moment?" Naruto suddenly frowned
Inside his head was anything but peace, as Kurama was awakening his newfound hobby.
[He swings to the left, he swings to the right! But oh, it's too bad that the fox boy is just too slippery for him to handle!]
[Urashiki is constantly on the offensive here, but can't seem to land a single hit! We see it now folks, anger! Sheer anger! This is rage that is built up from minutes of torment by interacting with an unreasonably vicious brat!]
[Such density of rage and anger, even I, a tailed beast cannot fathom!]
Inside his head, Kurama was giving his all with the commentary, it doesn't matter if no one else except Naruto can hear him, he enjoys it.
Urashiki was so focused on Naruto that he could no longer focus on his surroundings, not noticing the massive formation that is being formed around them.
"Die! Die! DIE!" Urashiki's swings became more and more relentless, and no longer had any techniques behind them, they were now swings without any meaning except brute force.
Amidst this barrage, Naruto found a few moments where he was able to placed a few needles in his mouth.
*Swoosh*
Urashiki clenched his fist and raised his fishing rod up high.
"Let's see how you dodge this!"
'A chance' Naruto quickly spat the needles at him, piercing Urashiki's neck. It didn't go deep, however, with every breathe Urashiki took, the poison coated on the needles would spread.
Urashiki flinched when the needles struck him, as he felt the poison spread rapidly through his body. However, unlike the simple paralysis poison Naruto used before, this one was much more vicious as it spread much faster, and the effects are more detrimental.
Of course, he couldn't fully realise the problem as his attention was completely on Naruto.
*Bang*
His fishing rod swung down, creating a massive shockwave with dust blowing into the air.
"Woah! Watch where you swing it, that would have been dangerous" Naruto narrowly avoided the attack, however, the shockwave created still blew him to the side.
'These attacks are insane' He gulped
*Whoosh*
Suddenly, right below their feet, a massive seal formed
"Uzumaki style: High concentration chakra banishment pentagon formation " The five clones yelled as five pillars of light rose from where they stood.
Within the formation, Urashiki, being in the centre, felt a massive force press down on him as his chakra was directly cut off.
!!!!
He quickly tried to break free, however, he realised that a strong poison was breaking down his body by the second! When did this happen!?
The formation sealing his chakra snapped him out of his bloodthirsty rage, but he realised it all to late.
"Good brat" Orochimaru appeared behin him as he bit down on Urashiki's neck, once more, injecting his own poison into him before retreating to a safe distance.
Urashiki felt the new poison slowly spread, making it impossible to break free from the current sealing formation created by Naruto.
Sasuke slowly approached, with a chidori blade in hand
"Make it clean" Naruto said
Sasuke nodded, and with a single slash, Urashiki's head was removed from the body
"Im...possible" He uttered in disbelief
His body fell to the ground, motionlessly. Sasuke approached it, and was about to completely destroy the body when it began glowing, causing his body to tense up. However, Urashiki's corpse began dissintegrating as it broke down into golden light that gradually dispersed itself into the air.
"Is he...completely dead?" Naruto wobbled over
Sasuke nodded
"That's...good" Naruto muttered as his eyes closed
*Thud*
He dropped to his knees, losing consciousness completely. Sasuke quickly checked up on his condition, and was shocked to find his body in a complete mess.
'He must have overused Kurama's chakra...but...' Sasuke couldn't help but compare this Naruto to the one in his timeline.
Orochimaru appeared behind Naruto
"Seems like his chakra is overused, and his body strained by the immense chakra, otherwise, he should recover quite quickly" He said
He then turned to where Urashiki's body used to be. He saw it dissintegrate, which left him rather depressed.
"Pity that the body doesn't stay, otherwise, he'd have made a great vessel for me" Orochimaru muttered
Sasuke's lips twitched, if Orochimaru really acquired that body, then the future would become a complete mess!
"I will leave him in your care then, I will take my leave now" Sasuke said calmly
Orochimaru shook his head
"I'm sick of others leaving people in my lab, take him with you" He scowled, he was in a bad enough mood that the body was gone, he didn't want another headache.
Sasuke was surprised by his rejection, aren't the two of them cooperating?
'Well...I need to pick up Boruto anyway, so it doesn't make much of a difference I guess' He sighed as he picked up Naruto and was about to warp away when Orochimaru stopped him.
"Kid" He spoke
Sasuke turned to him
"Your eyes, it is the sharingan, no? Who are you really, the only survivors of the Uchiha clan is the kid in my lab, and his brother" He said in a low voice
Sasuke didn't answer
"Your appearance is quite similar to them, a third brother perhaps? Or maybe their father?" He asked again
"...no" Sasuke responded
Orochimaru furrowed his brows
"Fine, I'm in no state to interrogate you at the moment, but I'll definitely find out some day" He hissed
Sasuke sighed, it seems Orochimaru is as sharp as ever. He held Naruto, and using his rinnegan, he warped back to the village.
Upon returning, Sasuke dropped Naruto off at his house, where Zabuza received him with a rather surprised look.
"Didn't think I'd see the kid in this bad of a state, what happened?" He asked, as he was fully aware of Naruto's abilities.
To have been worn out to this degree, the opponent was surely quite strong.
"A tough foe, but he's been killed" Sasuke replied
"Mn, I assume you'll be leaving now?" Zabuza asked
Sasuke nodded
"Before you go, I would like to know, how did the me in your timeline end up" Zabuza asked
Sasuke turned to him
"You...believe Naruto's words?" He asked
Zabuza chuckled
"I tend to remember people quite well after clashing with them, your eyes may be different, but it has a similar look to the kid I met at the bridge" He replied
His words surprised Sasuke, but since this is a different timeline, it shouldn't affect his own if he told Zabuza what happened. Though, he was still hesitant as his end wasn't exactly...great.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Sasuke asked
Zabuza nodded calmly
Sasuke sighed and gave Zabuza a quick rundown of what happened during his timeline, be it Haku's death, or Zabuza's betrayal.
Hearing this, Zabuza fell into silent contemplation, but he didn't express much emotion, which surprised Sasuke. After all, he just heard about his own death, how can he take it so calmly?
Zabuza smiled faintly
"I guess I owe my student a favour, huh?" He chuckled
"Didn't you say that he took your arm?" Sasuke asked
"An arm is nothing compared to the lives of both me and Haku" Zabuza shook his head and replied
Sasuke couldn't retort that one, he just smiled
"Tell Naruto that he has my thanks for his help against the enemy, take care, Zabuza" He said before leaving.
Not long after, he found Boruto at the training ground, sparring with Lee and Neji whilst Tenten observed from the side.
"Boruto, we're leaving" Sasuke said
"Huh? What about Ura-"
"He's dead" Sasuke replied
"Hah!? You're joking, he appeared before your estimated time!? And I missed the whole thing!" Boruto clutched his head in stupor
Sasuke rolled his eyes
"If you were there, you wouldn't even have a corpse left" Sasuke replied
"Anyway, we're heading back to report to your father"
Boruto scratched the side of his cheeks
"Speaking of him, uh, how is 'he' doing after the fight?" Boruto asked
Sasuke knew that he meant the Naruto of this timeline.
"He's just tired, he'll recover after some rest" He replied
"I see...but like, do we need to leave right away? Can't we stay for a bit longer?" Boruto fiddled with his fingers and asked
"No" Sasuke glared at him and said in a low voice
Boruto sighed
"Alright" He took out a small turtle from his pocket, and on its shell was a button that he pressed.
Instantly, they were engulfed in bright light, before vanishing.
-In Boruto's timeline-
"You head back, I'll go report to your father" Sasuke said
"Oh~" Boruto nodded
On the way back, he saw his mum, Hinata, talking with a lady happily in a flower shop...Ino...
He suddenly paused
'Argh! Now I can't unsee dad with Ino!' He shook his head and groaned
-In the Hokage's office-
"Oh, Sasuke, you're back" Seated at the Hokage seat was Naruto, his spiky hair was much shorter, and he had a much more dignified look on his face.
Sasuke walked over
"Yes, Urashiki is dead" He nodded
"As expected of you, I knew you could handle it" Naruto smiled
Sasuke was silent after that, as he hesitated to speak of what happened...
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked
"Well..." Sasuke coughed
He began telling Naruto what happened in the other timeline, and the more Naruto listened, the more shocked he became.
"Y-You're saying that the me of that timeline has mastered sage mode, has control over five tails worth of Kurama's chakra, and uses the flying raijin along with various types of rasengans? Not to mention, he is proficient is seals?" He asked in a daze
Sasuke nodded
"Th-This..." Naruto held his hand to his head, although they were talking about his past self, it didn't feel like it at all, because the Naruto that Sasuke described is pretty much better than him in every way when he was that age...
"Not to mention, he's cooperating with orochimaru...this is absurd" He muttered
After contemplating, he sighed
"But about the matters with seals, I'll give it ago, perhaps it can be of help for us in the future, as he said, I'm still an Uzumaki" Naruto smiled
Just as Sasuke was about to leave, a symbol suddenly appeared on his back
"H-Huh!?" He tossed his cloack to the ground and pulled out his sword
Naruto acted quickly and got into battle stance as well as he faced the cloak that started to glow.
*Puff*
A puff of white smoke burst out, and they were just about to attack when they realised who it was that appeared!
"N-Naruto!?" Sasuke gasped
"Sup Sasuke, oh, is that the me of this timeline? Holy, look at those dark bags under your eyes, do you even sleep?" Naruto appeared as he stared at Naru2.
Naru2 was stunned by Naruto's sudden appearance
"Y-You followed us? No, that's no possible, I left with Boruto when you were still unconscious" Sasuke exclaimed
"Nah, this is just a clone, I'll disperse at some point...sooner or later..." Naruto shrugged
"H-How did you come here though?" Sasuke asked
"It was a gamble on my end, I placed a sealing formation on your cloak, in it is a sealed clone of mine that would be summoned after a timer, I assumed you would leave after Urashiki's defeat, so I left it on you during the fight with Urashiki"
His response left the two of them at a loss, they didn't think he'd actually plan so far ahead.
He looked around
"I came to check out this timeline, and do something important" Naruto said
"Such as?"
"Orochimaru, I want to find him, get my hands on his research materials, and bring these memories back to my timeline, this is many years into the future, so he must have some fascinating research" Naruto replied
"Oh right...he's not dead, is he?" Naruto suddenly asked
"N-No, we're just...shocked you thought of such a thing" Naru2 replied
He walked over to Naruto, staring at him in awe
"So...this is the me of another timeline, surely, you're not only more mature than I was at your age, your chakra also feels much more controlled" He muttered
[Oi, I sense something interesting] Kurama suddenly spoke
'Oh? What is it?' Naruto asked
[That future version of you, he has both sides of me, so in this timelime, I'm complete] Kurama replied
'I see...'
Naruto's eyes suddenly became red as red wisps flickered around him
"Hm? This is Kurama's chakra" Naru2 gasped
[Kid, how did you obtain both halves of me] Naruto opened his mouth, but Kurama was the one who spoke
"H-Huh?"
[What? You act as if you've never seen me before, you have both Yin and Yang in you, so tell me, how did you obtain the second half] Kurama asked
Sasuke was also surprised by Kurama's sudden control over Naruto's body
"Th-This, well, I was able to reuinite with my father, Minato, and he passed the other half into me" He replied
[I see, how did it happen? Is his soul not in the stomach of that reaper?]
Naru2 began explaining the situation during the great ninja war, how Orochimaru used the reaper mask to summon the reaper, and slit his own stomach to release the souls in it in order to reanimate them with the edo tensei.
After hearing this, Kurama smiled and returned the control over the body to Naruto
"Phew, that felt tingly, having a fox take over your body is something I can never get used to" Naruto muttered
"Uh...how did Kurama take control of your body out of nowhere?" Naru2 asked
"Huh? That? I let him take over" Naruto replied
"What about the seal? Wouldn't that stop him?" Naru2 said with a slight frown
"The seal? I removed that thing during the chunin exam"
!?!?!
"More importantly, Orochimaru, he's still alive, right?"
"Y-Yes, I'll have Sasuke take you to him" Naru2 sat down and waved his hand, his mind was in complete disarray at the moment.
Just what is up with Naruto of the other timeline?
