The last of all the Jinchūriki living, and Rokudaime Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto, had lighting coursing through his body courtesy of Uchiha Sasuke one of two remaining Uchiha still alive. His haori ripped and shredded. His pride and joy, the headband his old academy teacher Iruka had gifted him was pulverized by Sasuke's Susanno. He hit the unforgiving ground unceremoniously with a resonating sound. All signs of movement non-existent.
It all occurred many moons ago during which the two titans fought and bled together in the valley of the end. The title for such a valley was ironic as it signified the end of Uzumaki Naruto…
The fighting between forces were going swimmingly. Obito's paths were defeated and broken. Naruto had figured out his negative emotion sensing could negate the white Zetsu abilities of misdirection and subterfuge in its entirety. The army of Ame were in shambles as they had lost Konan one of their top tier generals, he never did get to thank Obito for that. As for the revived corpses of Kabutomaru, the Edo tensei had been stopped by Itachi unfortunately he slipped away before he could be subjugated by Itachi's kinjutsu (forbidden technique)
The first sign that things were going wrong was when the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage were summoned and tasked with taking out Gaara and Mei's forces respectively. Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari had succeeded in taking out the Shodaime, though at the cost of the Kazekage's life. Mei also took out her enemy, at the cost of half the Kumo forces at her command by using her Skilled Fog Technique.
Then a flood of Zetsu clones had swamped the already crippled forces of Suna and Kiri, leaving barely 300 soldiers between the two of them. After that, it was simply a matter of Tobi wiping them out with his Rinnegan's Deva Path.
All the while, Konoha forces were battling the revived Akatsuki. They all were defeated, but the losses were great. Ino and Hinata gave up their lives to save their Kage's back, Shikamaru lost his as well as Chouji, the original Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Hiashi, Tsume, Hana, Kiba, Aburame Shibi, and Lee.
Naruto mourned his friends' deaths, but had no choice but to press on. In another wave, Kabuto sent forth the White Fang, Hatake Sakumo. Kakashi had stayed behind to face his father.
Gai and Kurenai were forced to fight off the improved Sound Four alone, possibly losing their lives in the process.
Shino, Akatsuchi, and Kurotsuchi also fought off against Sarutobi Hiruzan and Asuma.
Naruto was losing friends left and right… and it enraged him!
It truly became devastating when none other than Konoha's Yellow Flash showed up. Naruto had to face his own father, being the second and only other person to master both of his father's jutsu, the Rasengan and the Hiraishin no Jutsu.
While the two teleporters faced off, the Aka no Shi, Uzumaki Kushina, and Naruto's mother, practically slaughtered the other forces. She wasn't an S-rank kunoichi for nothing. With the combined might of her chakra chains, Kenjutsu, Suiton jutsu, residual youki, and fuinjutsu, not many stood a chance against her.
In the end no one else but Naruto himself had to engage in brutal combat with both his mother and father unbeknownst to the surrounding Shinobi and Kunoichi, tears freely cascaded down his cheeks and pooled his whiskered face.
After defeating the Yondaime Hokage and the Akai Chishio no Habanero (Red Hot-Blooded Habanero) He was forced to engage in combat with over six thousand Zetsu clones that were enforced and bolstered by Yamato's cells. That was when Sasuke had stabbed him through the chest with a chidori. Only remnants of the Kyubbi's Youkai prevented him from succumbing to death.
So the final Akatsuki, Sasuke, Tobi, Zetsu, and Kabuto, began the process of extracting Kyuubi from Naruto. Only for Tobi/Obito to realize a smirk marring Naruto's face. The shikai fuin that contained the kyuubi sealing matrix changed direction and continued swirling and churning like a whirlpool.
Instead of extracting the Kyuubi, Naruto began reabsorbing him… and the other Bijū… and the Akatsuki! The four ring-wearing shinobi found they were rooted to the spot and unable to move as Naruto stood and allowed the chakra and youki to flow into him.
Tobi, while rooted to his spot, found he could speak. "Wh-What is this!" Naruto smirk seemed to get darker at his intonation.
"All my plans coming to fruition, dear Tobi. What Uzumaki isn't a fuinjutsu master? An alteration to my seal is all it took to allow me to suck chakra and youki from the Gedo Mazo and all using it. None of you can move either…" Naruto looked down so the rest could look down… and saw their shadows connected to his fused in a lovers embrace.
"The Kagemane! (Shadow Imitation)" Sasuke exclaimed.
"Right you are, Sasu-chan. To a boy who could ditch ANBU at the age of eight, sneaking into clan compounds and learning all their jutsu was nothing, you know." The Gedo Mazo now only had seven eyes opened. "I even went and took the Uchiha scrolls to learn all the functions of the Sharingan, just for this very day. See… on my trip with Jiraya, I began to see the harsh treatment of all Jinchūriki, the harsh reality of humanity's cruelty, and the harsh existence we live in." Six eyes opened.
Why does that matter?" Kabuto asked.
"Simple… I decided from then on that I would find a better existence for humanity… Jiraiya's peace, if you will. Too bad he didn't realize the peace I plan to bring about is worse than Pein or even Tobi's ideals." Five eyes opened.
"No… mine is so much darker… tell me, what do you know of the Rikudō Sennin? Not much, I presume. Well, Kage Bunshin are very useful for reading, you know. I found that the Rikudō Sennin was not as nice as everyone thinks. He and his brother forcibly sealed their mother and trapped her into the moon. Such a man was revered on the acts of his mother eating a fruit born from the god tree. In repayment he sealed and locked her away never to glimpse and breathe fresh air again… He also decided in his infinite wisdom to play a game with humans. He planted ideas to forsake Ninshū and weaponised it into Ninjutsu. Did you know like the Uchiha, the Uzumaki also had a secret tablet that contained the sacred texts of the Rikudō's era."
"So, I looked more into it… turns out the Rikudō Sennin was actually a sticker for war, strife, and death. It amused him to no end. So, he set the groundwork. He gave humanity the secrets of chakra, infused a few people with what we know today as Kekkai Genkai, and even set his sons up to fight each other. Why else would he give one the eyes and one the chakra? Why not give his gift to both? Or to one? Or none? Simple… he wanted to see which of his son's clans could be the better. There is one thing not many know… the Rikudō Sennin had a daughter as well."
Tobi laughed. "A daughter? Absurd!"
Naruto's grin was feral. "Don't believe me? That's fine. Do you know who this daughter was? The ancestor of all Uzumaki. While the Uchiha ancestor got the eyes, and the Senju ancestor got the body… the Uzumaki ancestor got the mind. He passed his knowledge to his only daughter, why would the Uzumaki be so good at fuinjutsu?" Three eyes opened and Sasuke dropped to the floor, a lifeless corpse. Naruto's cerulean blue eyes now shone with the crimson orbs of the eternal mangekyo Sharingan.
"And guess what, Tobi? I now have the DNA of the Rikudō Sennin himself in me. Blood of the daughter from my mother, descendancy of the Senju from my father's mother, courtesy of Tsunade, and finally eyes of the Uchiha from absorbing my 'brother's' chakra. My family really has come through for me." Zetsu dropped dead then. Naruto grinned and part of his hand turned wood before reverting back to normal. "And Hashirama's DNA flowed more so through me now." Naruto's eyes shifted to the Rinnegan.
"What is it you hope to accomplish here?" Tobi demanded, feeling the strain on his body and noticing only two eyes were opened.
Naruto grinned menacingly. "Simple, my dear Tobi, Did you know that originally there were nine paths to the Rinnegan? Both you and Nagato can control six, and Nagato could use the seventh. Naraka, the Path to heal those injured or give the Shinigami souls. Ashura, the path to use your body as a weapon itself. Preta, the path to absorb any chakra into your body, excluding Senjutsu and youki. Deva, the path to control attractive and repelling forces. Human, the path to take souls and memories from any you can touch. Animal, the path to summon multiple contracts at once. Outer, the path to bring back to life the recently deceased. There are, however, two more, you know. Jikuu, the path of space and time granting mastery over teleportation techniques. Ken, the path of perception, allowing control over the five senses and granting the sixth sense of looking into the future and seeing the spirits around you. All nine of these paths were mastered to a god-level by the Rikudō Sennin. Once he became the Juubi's Jinchūriki, it even ascended to something more. The Kyuudou Rinnegan, Nine-Path Samsara Eye, was truly the greatest doujutsu known to man, god, or demon. That is my goal, my dear Madara."
Throughout Naruto's speech, Kabuto had dropped dead, the last eye had closed, and Naruto's Rinnegan showed nine tomoe within it. Tobi was on his last legs. "You… You are a madman!" Tobi yelled. Naruto grinned.
"Says the deranged man who wished to control the world in a genjutsu just to get Rin back. No matter… I don't wish to be a part of this deranged time stream anyways. My plans are much greater, to change the flow of time itself! I have people to save, people to kill, and nations to destroy while I revive my true home. And I don't mean Konoha, that desolate cesspool of hypocrisy is one of the places I wish to destroy. I will stay there for a time, if only to save a few there that hold my utmost trust and respect. Don't worry though Tobi… I'll make sure to kill Kakashi for you." Naruto took a step forward, and so did Tobi, until they stood eye to eye. "I must thank you for all your help Tobi. Without you… how would I have gained the Juubi? No matter…" Naruto's hand glowed purple and he placed it on Tobi's forehead. "Ningendou." (Human Path)Naruto pulled out Tobi's soul and absorbed it into himself, gaining all of the madman's knowledge. Unfortunately for Naruto the sheer influx of chakra he had drawn would have an adverse effect upon his Jikuu path. Before when he contained Kurama his chakra control was always shoddy, now it was even worse.
When he used the Jikuudou: Tenrai Okori (Space-Time Path: Divine Genesis) he pumped it unconsciously with the Juubi's chakra destabilizing and completely transcending time and space itself…
