Fūinjutsu was beautiful, complex, deadly.
Something Uzumaki Naruto learned that ever since his father's memories fused with his own, the failsafe left behind the Yondaime Hokage dance perfectly to his tune. Naruto became a legend incarnate, and that coupled with the wanton acts of destruction that he did with Kurama no doubt put him ahead of the Five Kage.
However, it was still wasn't nearly enough to defeat Uchiha Madara.
Fūinjutsu however had a way to defeat the Edo Tensei based Uchiha whose powers seemingly had no end. Both he and Sasuke despite their best efforts couldn't simply match the Ghost's abilities; he was in a league of his own.
When he stabbed Sasuke with the sword, something inside Naruto snapped. The person he looked at like his best friend, his brother had died so brutally. However, just like Naruto figured the Avenger had a plan of his own.
The moment Sasuke died, his entire body exploded into black flames and even Madara became engulfed by them. His Edo Tensei body was suffering to extinguish the flames due to the large amount of it, but even then the ancient undead was working his magic.
This would, however be his undoing as Naruto used the distraction to orchestrate his suicidal attack.
It was a complex seal, essentially speaking it tore the very fabric of space and time. It was built as a last resort attack against the Masked Man, later on revealed to be Obito who died against Kakashi after the Juubi was extracted from him. Naruto used one of Madara's own black rods to stab the Ghost, along with himself as he performed the jutsu.
He remembered the cries and horror the Allied Shinobi Force showed, he was giving his life up for them. However, it was nothing compared to the void.
Cold, dark, and empty. It was a swirling endless abyss of nothingness. There was nothing about that place that gave him any warmth or joy.
It was pure absence.
'Naruto,' a gruff voice from the depths of his mind spoke. 'Do you see what's happening to Madara's body?'
Evidently, the Jinchuuriki was far too hypnotized by the sheer darkness and only now noticed how Madara's body was finally cracking. His eyes had the Rinnegan, those eyes that had caused him so many problems, but they seemed empty.
Lifeless.
Then a bluish-white hue began to emerge from the Uchiha's body. Something was escaping through his ears, a ghost. A silhouette of human face could be seen.
It was Madara's face.
'Is that…' Naruto asked in his mind, almost fearing the to ask the question.
It seemed far too unreal to him.
'Yeah, that's his soul. I honestly thought it would be much more darker though,' Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune spoke.
Both of them witnessed how the soul writhed and twisted, resisting to leave his frame. It tried to scream, only letting out howls that sent chills down Naruto's spine. Even after all this, Madara was still fighting.
Naruto had to respect the tenacity of the man, he was just as stubborn as him.
Then it all ended as the soul struggled a bit more before slowly decreasing in size, flickering like a dying flame before disappearing into the darkness. Thus came the end to the conflicted soul of Uchiha Madara.
'Kurama, any idea how to get out? I really don't feel like dying,' Naruto asked, nervousness wracking his frame as the dust from the Edo Tensei particles irritating him.
'You could try and using the same hand seals,' Kurama spoke from inside his mind.
'I…' Naruto hesitated as he spoke. Swallowing a gulp, he began, 'I don't know what will happen if I do. I engineered it for a one way trip.'
'Don't worry about the chakra. Leave that to me,' the Fox said with reassurance. Pride evident in each of his words.
'You sure fuzzball? I mean I know you're whole again since Tou-chan put your other half inside me after Madara got stabby with the black rods.'
'Don't forget how the other Bijuu gave it to you after you broke them free.'
'Oh yeah,' Naruto thought with excitement before coughing out some blood.
Moving in a void devoid of rules and time was starting to take the toll. Even Madara's motionless undead body was starting to wither and was starting to crack, bits of it flying off like dried leaves in Autumn.
'I'm planning to use their chakra along with mine to juice you up.'
'Well, if it doesn't work…I'm going to die either way,' Naruto said as he started to make the necessary thirty six hand seals. He considered himself very lucky that he was able to pull the jutsu off against Madara after making sure both of them were connected via the chakra receiver.
What Naruto failed to notice was how the remaining particles of Madara's body were flying back towards him. The body itself was almost being attracted towards him as the buildup of chakra continued. Then in the endless darkness, a light shone.
Bright enough for that spot to become designated as the center.
Finishing his hand seals, Naruto activated the jutsu as Kurama pumped his body with amounts of chakra he never thought he could handle. It was surreal to say the least. Naruto felt like he was strong enough to destroy nations by himself now. Soon enough, a swirling and ripping noise reached his ears.
His cerulean eyes looked above to see an aberration appearing, similar to the swirl that appeared when Obito used his hax of a Kamui. Naruto was being pulled towards the hole at great speeds. Looks like he would make it out, only he felt his chakra draining and knew that Kurama was reaching his limits.
The drama didn't end there, Naruto saw the broken shards of Madara's Edo Tensei body began to cling to him. Naruto tried to take it off, yet it was meshing with his own skin as if it was there the whole time.
'Kurama, what the fuck is going on?' Naruto asked nervously as more paper-like tissues of undead skin settled on his face. He was reaching the hole too. Naruto did not want this jutsu to fuck up.
'Fuck!' the Kyuubi yelled in his mind. 'The Edo Tensei particles are fusing with you cause of your chakra presence.'
'Tell me something I don't know! How the fuck do I stop it?!'
'How the fuck would I know?!'
'What do you mean you don't know?!'
'I mean I don't know!'
'If I make it out of this alive, I am going to kick your AAAAAHHH!' Naruto's mental scream soon evolved into a physical one as his frame was hit by a barrage of the Edo Tensei particles. The parchments of paper settled on his skin like perfect parasites as his body started undergoing a physical change.
Kurama flared more chakra to push the particles away but they only seemed to get more attracted to him. Like moths to a flame.
Soon enough, his entire body was became one with the particles. His hair changed, his skin, his face, his everything.
Naruto could see the light in the endless dark sky, the aberration in which light was seeping through. Kurama was screaming something at him, yet he couldn't hear. In the light he saw his own memories, his childhood, his rise and finally his suicidal attempt to end Madara.
Then another set of memories played out before him.
Madara's memories.
His entire life. Meeting Hashirama, their dreams to build a village, Izuna's loss which left a hole that Madara could never fill again.
The formation of Konoha.
His leave after the clan exiled him.
The Battle at the Valley of the End.
How he tricked Hashirama into thinking he was dead and all his other plans relating to the Tsuki no Me before Naruto foiled it all.
Letting out one final agonizing scream, Naruto saw darkness as he rocketed into the light. He smiled as he saw clear blue skies before fading into bliss.
It was hot.
Too hot.
Sweat covered his body, a smell of his natural odor reeked in the room as the nose scrunched up in mild disgust.
Getting up slowly, he heard the noises of bones cracking as the knots could be felt along his spine.
Sitting up, the man realized he was shirtless as his muscles gleamed in the dim lighting of the room, well cave as he soon realized as his eyes darted around.
A bonfire was there not too far from him, and then the man stood up thanking his God that he still had his pants on.
However, the ruffling of his hair alongside his back was annoying him. He didn't remember his hair being that long and-
"Wait," he spoke with skepticism in his voice, along with fear. Raising his hand slowly, he brought it right above the head as he plucked out a strand and observed it.
It resembled a raven's feather, black with a dark blue tint to it.
This was not good.
"Kurama," he spoke, his body nervous at the implication of what just happened. Yet a part of his mind was completely relaxed, not even fazed by this development. Receiving no response, he decided to try again.
"Kurama."
Silence greeted him once more, only this time annoyance was building up inside him towards the nine tailed menace.
"Kurama! Answer damn it!"
"Shut up, you damned idiot!"
"About time you…" the man stopped as he realized something. There was no doubt that the answer came from the person the apparent raven haired person wanted to speak to.
That wasn't the problem.
The major issue was he expected the answer to come from somewhere inside his mind, certainly not from outside in the real world.
It was almost like as if the reply came from right behind his back.
"Well, what is it?"
Uzumaki Naruto decided that he was dead and this was heaven, or the afterlife in general.
It had to be since he turned around to see a very small and adorable orange furred fox with one, two, three... Yup, nine fluffy tails slowly moving like blades of grass being serenaded by a gentle breeze.
If he didn't know any better, Naruto would've said he was looking at perhaps the cutest animal he had ever seen.
"The fuck are you looking at boy?" came the reply from the beast as it's crimson eyes had a threatening gleam in it.
"Yeah, this is a heaven. Or a bad dream. Kurama as a soft plushy toy," he said with a smile of disbelief, as he waved his body in comical effect.
"It's not a dream, Naruto," the fox said with absolute seriousness.
No…
"I should wake up any time soon," he said, reaching for straws that assured his conscience that Kurama was playing a trick on him.
"It's not a dream, or heaven. If it was, would we be in a damned cave with a second-hand bonfire?"
Well, he did have a point. Still, his own dream could be playing a trick on him.
"You still don't believe me, do you?" Chibi-Kurama asked, his voice still gruff yet lighter than usual.
The blond…well apparently dark haired person shook his head vehemently as he still moved around like a man determined to prove this was all just a bad, bad projection of his mind.
"Fine then. If it is a dream…where's the ramen?"
Yeah right as if….
"…No," he spoke with the horror evident in his eyes. Naruto looked at Kurama with despair, "This isn't real."
"I'm afraid it is," Kurama replied, as the chibi kitsune crossed his arms and nodded sagely. He then continued, "That's not all. Look at yourself."
Hesitantly, Naruto shifted his gaze downwards and saw some kunai at the side, near the stony wall. He took it in his hand as he looked back at his reflection.
Chakra rushed to his eyes as cerulean orbs morphed into merciless red, three black tomoe slowly forming in the pupil.
Nothing was said between the two beings in the cave. Their eyes meeting every now and then as red saw blue.
…
"You're serious?" Naruto asked as he looked at his hands with utter disbelief.
The things that Kurama told him were farfetched, so impossible that his mind just couldn't comprehend with it all. Apparently the seal worked.
Awesome.
Then Naruto had arrived somewhere unknown, above a forest no less and he while falling down he had managed to hit every single branch along his descent.
Not exactly his style, but it worked…to an extent.
Kurama said he was surprised to find himself outside Naruto's body in his full sized form. Then using his own chakra he searched for Naruto and found him in this…state.
"Is this even possible?" Naruto asked, disbelief still hitting his brain like a hammer despite the evidence. "I mean, how?"
"Brat," the chibi kitsune spoke as he took in a mouthful from a bottle of something, which apparently he stole from a passerby outside who didn't need it. "Your space-time jutsu was forbidden ninjutsu. The fact that both of us are still alive means that we got out by the skin of our teeth."
…
"And this?" Naruto asked as he pointed to himself. "Do you think it's because of the jutsu?"
"Actually, I think it's because of your chakra. You were flaring a lot of it, and Madara's remains went for the closest living thing: You," Kurama finished and the bottle of whatever was inside was discarded, thrown as it collided against the wall. "Good stuff."
Naruto face palmed at the sheer casualness the kitsune of legend was showing.
Back to the matters at hand, Naruto was still thing how he had fused bodies with Madara.
He joined bodies with MADARA of all people. God, that sounded so wrong.
He knew it wasn't a genjutsu because he saw all of Madara's memories and had all the knowledge the Ghost had.
Everything was real much to the former blond's dismay.
Naruto himself wasn't sure how this was possible. Somehow he ended up living through that space-time disruption jutsu, then his physical frame assimilated with Madara's Edo Tensei particles. Oh, it didn't end there as Kurama was now happily outside his body while Naruto was alive.
If it wasn't for excess chakra the other Bijuu had supplied him, he would've died in the void and Kurama too made it out, but not without cost. Nearly half of Kurama's chakra was gone, but Naruto was sure that even without that other half the fox could level anything he wanted to.
The two of them did after all turned the tide of a war with much lesser options.
"Why are you in that form again?" Naruto finally asked.
It was something that was boggling his mind, he didn't speak because watching Kurama eat and drink was honestly entertaining.
Hell, the fact that he was still calm about the whole damned thing was amazing in and of itself. Maybe it was the Madara factor inside him. At least Naruto was still himself and had his own face, with a few features of Madara.
"To hide myself, numb-nuts," Kurama spoke and stood up on all fours. His rabbit like ears twitching every now and then.
"You could do this before?" he asked with a small bit of inquiry.
"Yeah. I just didn't feel like it," came the nonchalant reply from the kitsune.
"Okay…and you're doing this because?" Naruto asked shaking his head to emphasize his confusion. The kitsune sighed at his behavior.
"Well, frankly speaking to not draw attention to ourselves. You've been like that for two months now," Kurama said and Naruto's eyes widened.
He had been asleep for two whole months?
No wonder his body ached like a bitch.
"I see. Anything else I need to be made aware of?" Naruto asked as he took a bite out of the fresh deer his kitsune partner had hunted before. Thank God he still had the preservation seals on his body.
His eyes then fell on a weapon.
A weapon Naruto, and especially Madara, was familiar with.
"Is that Madara's Gunbai?" Naruto asked as he pointed at the ancient war fan which survived since the days of the Warring States.
"Yeah. It was still on Madara's body when he fused with you," Kurama replied as he looked back at the deeper chasm of the cave, from where small ruffling noises came. The kitsune then looked at his former jailer and spoke, "Also, I'm pretty sure we're not in our world."
"What?" Naruto asked as he finished eating.
Maybe he heard things wrong.
"Did you just say-"
"Yeah, we're not in our world anymore. Based on what I saw during the last two months, I'd say we're in a different world."
"Why?" Naruto said as he looked up at the stony ceiling. "Why did we get stuck in this stupid world?"
"Beats me. Maybe you should've made a better jutsu," Kurama quipped and grinned toothily.
"Shut up, fox," Naruto replied as his Sharingan flared to life. The raven haired Uchiha-Uzumaki hybrid smiled deviously, "Do you want a little genjutsu trip? I could do it you know."
"If you try that, I'll personally bite off what makes you a man," Kurama replied and Naruto mentally winced a bit, but didn't show it. The kitsune sighed, "This is used to be more fun when you used to squirm."
"Been there, done that," Naruto replied. He then put a hand on his chin as he spoke. "Kurama, we need information. What have you got for me, buddy?"
"Hmph," Kurama smirked at how Naruto called him 'buddy'. "Well first off, the people here are WEAK."
"Weak? How weak? Jounin weak?"
"Nope."
"Okay, that's slightly disappointing. Chunnin?"
"Still wrong."
"Ah fuck. I'm in a world filled with genin rank people."
"Hn," Kurama grunted like an Uchiha, no doubt to mock them. The fox then spoke, his voice laced with disappointment, "These guys aren't even strong enough to last against genin in a one-on-one fight."
"What are these people made of? Glass?" Naruto asked, annoyed and frustrated.
Not that the former Uzumaki was angry, he was still in the phase of accepting his sudden metamorphosis, as felt his chakra which was a bit smaller than before. Both his and Madara's chakra fused perfectly, along with knowledge that no doubt that shamed Hokage-Jiji. The fact that the people here were weak inherently pissed him off. Well, even if he was a bit weaker than before, he had other things to up his game when the time came.
Huh, Madara's boner for fights must be getting to him.
"Don't know. Why don't we ask this guy?" Kurama said as he walked further into the cave. After a few moments, the kitsune returned as his tails were dragging something along. He looked bigger. Big enough to be a fully grown wolf.
At least Kurama still had his badass, orange fur as Naruto missed his golden hair.
"You can change your size?" Naruto asked.
"Duh," the kitsune replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Then his mighty tails which could cause tsunamis came forward, showing a man bound and gagged. Their victim(?) was constantly muffling loudly about something, Naruto guessed it was probably the restraints. That and the dirty rag of a gag.
"Did you kidnap him, Kurama?" Naruto asked as the kitsune shrugged.
"He was going to die. Found him in the river, barely breathing. So I used a genjutsu to make it look like he died and dragged him here. Took care of him too, fed him some chakra and food. Yet he keeps yapping like a child," Kurama finished as he looked at the tied up man. "You should be thankful, you ungrateful bitch."
"Now, now, Kurama. Be nice," Naruto said. He knew that the fox was a bit asshole-ish in nature, but surely the man didn't do anything to warrant such a behavior.
Naruto noted something strange about the man. Something he found disturbing if the former Jinchuuriki was to be honest.
"He doesn't have chakra."
"None of them do. Yet my genjutsu worked on them, must be something in the air," Kurama replied. Both kitsune and shinobi did find his discovery bizarre.
"Something indeed. But not chakra," the fused shinobi said as he put the thought in the back of his mind. He lifted the man and put him against the wall as he looked at him.
The man had dirt on his face, his clothes seemed tattered yet it didn't take away the regality in his eyes. His eyes were a deep shade of purple he had rarely seen, long silver hair flowed down from his head as his alabaster skin looked dry. He was very pretty for a man, just like Haku was - only this guy had more masculine features.
"Okay then," Naruto said as he slowly removed the gag from the man's mouth. "Who are you?"
All Naruto heard was gibberish or a foreign language as he concluded.
"Oh God, it sounds weird," Naruto spoke as the man said something in reply.
"Imagine how I felt when I heard them yapping," Kurama added in his two cents.
The pain was real and Naruto understood his plight.
Then Naruto channeled chakra to his eyes as they turned red and the man before him froze. Naruto added more chakra as the traditional shape of the Sharingan began to rotate, twist and turn as it resembled Madara's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The shinobi looked straight into the eyes of the man and spoke one word. For a moment silver-haired man become completely rigid, his mind being exploited for any all information he knew.
An absolute violation of all that was private to him.
A few seconds later Naruto broke his gaze from the man and looked at Kurama, whose own eyes morphed into the same shape for a few seconds. Then Kurama's eyes turned back into normal as his red slitted eyes bored holes into Naruto's skull.
A thick killing intent flooded the cave as the Kyuubi flared his temper.
"Don't ever do that again, Naruto," Kurama threatened as he looked at the Uchiha-Uzumaki hybrid. "I hate those eyes."
"I'm sorry, Kurama. I just thought I'd let you know," the black haired seventeen year old replied with honesty in his voice. He had forgotten how Madara and Obito had abused his powers.
"It's alright, just don't do it again," Kurama spoke as both chakra wielding beings looked at the silver haired man whose mouth was agape.
"Now then, we have a lot to talk about. Prince Rhaegar Targaryen," Naruto said in the common tongue that the Westerosi spoke. A twisted grin formed on his face and Kurama gave one too, it was terrifying to be honest.
"By the Seven, what are you?" the Crown Prince asked as he couldn't believe his sight. This was unreal. This man...and that thing! What were they?!
"Oh, just a misplaced shinobi with pent up frustration and a lot of broken dreams," Naruto replied calmly.
"I on the other hand," Kurama began as his eyes showed the Prince death. "Am a being of destruction incarnate. Lost a chunk of my power due to a faulty seal-"
"Hey!"
"-and bear a general hate for humanity. I have a preference on ideals that only two men have managed to match and in the mood to kick a certain person's ass for being a royal prick."
"What do you mean?" Rhaegar of House Targaryen asked as he saw the man speak now. They spoke so differently, their manners were so different from any other people he knew.
"Simple, pretty boy," Naruto said as he drove his fist into his other palm. "We are going to fix the Seven Kingdoms."
"Pardon?" Rhaegar Targareyn gulped, not believing what the man had just said. Did the man just say he would 'fix' the Seven Kingdoms? An empire forged by fire and blood.
"While it is none of our business," the kitsune began. "Brat's persistent on bringing peace to your fucked up Seven Kingdoms."
"And introduce ramen to this world," Naruto said with pride in his voice.
Yes, he would guide these blind people into a world of noodles, spices and broth. He teared up at the thought.
"I honestly wonder if Obito dropped you on your head as a child," Kurama muttered and the former blond proceeded to show his middle finger to the Bijuu.
'By the Seven,' Rhaegar thought as he saw the black haired man laughing maniacally and the TALKING beast shaking his head in disappointed, mirroring many a wary Lord. Between all this the Crown Prince could only ask himself one question.
'What have I gotten myself into?'
