This is a rewritten story, the concept is similar to the original story just the grammar and punctuation are corrected.

Note - Only the first two chapters are in first person after that I will change it to third person.

'Why did it have to come to this?' this was the question I kept repeating to myself as I lay on the ground besides him. Neither of us could move, we fought for hours, throwing our strongest techniques at each other, we fought till both of us had almost no chakra left, still we kept on fighting with our fists and our weapons, till even they ran out.

Now I was know to be a stamina freak, but even I had my limit and I was reaching it soon.

And how could I not. I fought the reincarnated shinobis who had unlimited chakra, unlimited stamina and could regenerate from even the most leathal of the wounds. Then I fought the incomplete ten tails jinchuriki Obito and then I fought Madara uchiha. Yes, Madara freaking uchiha and then ofcourse l lost.

The nine tails was ripped from me and as a result I died.

Well, technically I was dead for a few minutes but I went to the other side there I met "The sage of six paths", the original rikudou sennin.

He asked me a few questions and gave me his history of how kaguya, his mother, ate the forbidden chakra fruit, how the ten tail was woken, how she went mad because of the the power and how he had to seal her away on the freaking Moon and how he defeated the ten tails and became its first container.

Apparently, he created the biju(Nine tailed beasts) from the chakra of the ten tails and his rinnegan, which gave him the ability to create anything from chakra. He did this so that no one would unseal his mother and bring destruction upon the planet as the ten tails was the key to unsealing her.

After the history lesson he asked if I still wanted to return and keep my promise of bring peace.After giving him my obvious answer he passed on his sage of six paths chakra to me,well mostly his yang chakra as i was the reincarnations of ashura his son. He then revived me with the task of sealing the ten tails and preventing the resurrection of his mother.

After I woke up, I realised I was too late, Madara had sealed the ten tails within him and had already completed his ultimate plan, his end game, The infinite tsukuyomi, his plan for bringing peace.

At first I was surprised how I wasn't affected by the tsukuyomi but then I noticed the telltale signs of the susanoo I was within. So he had survived,Sasuke, and he had saved me. I had hoped that he did it out of kindness of his heart but apparently he too had a chat with the sage, the sannin had given him the yin half of his chakra as he was the reincarnation of Indra, the Sage's oldest son, and also the rinnegan which was in his left eye.

Together, we both fought Madara for almost a week and were proving to be an even match for him but then The Black zetsu shoved a hand through his back and out of his chest. We were as supprised as Madara was. As he fell forward to the ground face first, black zetsu revealed who he truly was, as we had first thought he was not an extension of Madara's will but of Kaguya herself. He explained how he created a wedge between the sage's sons in hope to unsealing Kaguya as only those with the power of the sage could unseal her but he proved to be unsuccessful. So instead he waited for an opportunity which presented itself in the form of Hashirama and Madara the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra But he failed again as Hashirama refused to continue the cycle of hatred.

So instead he led Madara astray as he still held deep hatered within his heart since he had lost his brother, Izuna, in the war against the Senju's ,using this as his opportunity black zetsu manipulated madara to do his biding for years and used him to release Kaguya.

And by the looks of it,he had succeeded in doing so, as Madara had somehow transformed into Kaguya. The ensuing battle raged for another week or so. Though I was the one who was mainly doing all the fighting while Sasuke was supporting me as best as he could, because even with the power up given to us by the sage, he still just did not have the required physical power to last so long after fighting Madar for a week .

We had used all of our destructive techniques, and created some new ones on the go, but they were never enough to put her down. So we had tried to seal her away back to the moon but after she realised what we were upto she destroyed the moon, The Freaking MOON. We truly had lost hope after that but we still needed to fight her not for ourselves but for those who gave thier lives believing in us.

We had taken to fight her one on one as both of us had been tired out after three weeks of almost nonstop fighting and would have no time to rest if we didn't. This was when we noticed it, She was slipping and making mistakes which she wasn't doing first, I had assumed it was just overconfidence because we couldn't defeat her or seal her as she had destroyed the sealing container .i.e. the moon but it was happening too often to be true.

Both of us retreated to plan and came up with an idea that could take her down. Sasuke theorised that she is slowly loosing her mind again as she had first did when the sage had fought her and a little push can finally make her go over the edge, go insane again. It would have been a bad idea but fighting an intelligent and calm enemy is harder than fighting an berserk enemy.

The plan was that I distract her for enough time so that Sasuke can create the moon again through his rinnegan and seal her.

The only problem was that Sasuke didnt have enough chakra to create something as big as a moon and neither did I. So we came up with another more dangerous plan, seal her within myself then give enough chakra to Sasuke to recreate the moon. I still had the eight trigram seal which had store the Nine tails within me and it theoritically could hold her for enough time to seal her in the moon again.

With our course of action decided we called upon our summons to assist us in the fight and end it once and for all.

We fought for couple of hours, mostly using hit and run tactics to make her slip just once so we could capitalise on it. And our moment came when she was a little too focused on me and our summons, for sasuke to land an decisive blow on her which we all capitalized on and through lots of struggle, even though we lost our summons we were able to seal her within me.

Now, have you ever had that feeling when you eat something too much too quickly and your stomach feels like its is bursting but contracting at the same time.I had that feeling only a thousand time more stronger.

But through sheer will I pushed down the pain and started transferring the chakra to Sasuke who immediately started to recreate the moon. But in doing so an enormous amount of land was need so we had no choice but to crack the elemental nations and use that land to recreate the moon using the rinnegan.

After the moon was done, we began our sealing process it took an entire day to seal the Jubi's husk and Kaguya back in the moon.

After the deed was done I was left extremely tired so I laid down on the ground looking at the moon in sky, Sasuke standing besides me doing the same. We had won, we had finally done the impossible, we had defeated Kaguya

Ōtsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, mother of the sage, it bought smile on my face, but then I remembered the cost of doing so and the smile was instantly gone. There was no one left, no Sakura, no Kakashi sensei, no Hinata, no one was left. All had died when the Infinite Tsukuyomi was casted, they were absorbed into the gaint god trees, any one who could use chakra had been pulled into the tree , ' It must have happened when we were fighting Kaguya' I realised, that was more than half the population of the world, then I realised what we had done to create the moon. We had basically crushed half of the remaining population and sent them into space.

We had not won, not truly because no one was left alive, everyone that I knew was dead. We had failed, I had failed. When I realised the true extent on the damage done I couldn't help but close my eyes and let myself cry. I laid there for few minutes mourning the loss of my friends and when l opened my eyes l could see Sasuke still standing above me, looking at the moon."We lost" I said, he didn't reply, at first I thought he didn't hear me but when he looked down and finally spoke l couldn't be more shocked "You have to die" he said with a stoic face, "wwhat?" l muttered ,"One of us has to die for there to be peace"

"why?", I asked.

"The two of us have different definition of peace, if we both reconciled and worked together there will come a time when we wont agree with one another, it will be small at first but it will start to escalate and there will come a time in the future when we will have to fight, it is better for us if we just do that right now", I couldn't beleive what he was saying, after all the battles, after all that we have lost, after all that we have been through, he still couldn't believe that we can achieve peace "we will find a way, we will bring true peace",

" Your idea of peace and mine aren't the same, while you would go about preaching peace, I plan to rule over the nations and see that there is no more conflict, but you would never agree with that, you will oppose me and we will bring chaos in the world again, we will continue the cycle of hatred, so for there to be peace one of us has to die, our idealogies just contrast too much with one another".

"it doesn't have to be this way!!"I shouted, his reply was a solemn " i have made up my mind". With that said we both started our fight.

I started with my most prefered technique The shadow clones, they quickly surrounded me and we moved as one to attack Sasuke who was till now standing still, we all jumped on him with a rasengan in each hand but i noticed something was off and decided to back off a bit, it seems my gut feeling was right because as the clones converged on him a massive fireball fell from the sky dispeling them," You are not the only one who can use shadow clones", that being said i created five more clones and got into an taijutsu stance as Sasuke leaped on me from the sky. The fight was going well so far, I had long since learned a way to counter the sharingan's attack prediction by using feints and tricks and the clones seemed to be doing a fine job of distracting him. Still he was dispelling them to quickly for my liking. I created more clones and sicked some of them on him while me and the other cloned prepared for our rasengan barage. As we all pounced on him shouting our attack name he seemed to be ready for us as by time we reached him, he had surrounded himself with spikes of the unholy flame that is Amaterasu. The flame impaled all the clone dispelling them, it was only because of my quick thinking by activating my chakra shroud that i didnt get impaled.

I jumped forward for a punch on his face but he blocked it using the skeletal arm of Susanoo. Using the hand to swat me away, the Susanoo started to grow bigger as muscles started to form around the skeleton structure but still it did not stop there, the muscles grew armor then wings, when he was finally done he was as big as a mountain.

To match him when I started to go in full nine tails chakra mode, I came to a terrible conclusion that I couldn't. It was here that I remembered that I no longer had Kurama in me for the tailed beast chakra mode as it required an actual nine tailed beast to form that mode. It appeared that I could only use the shroud from the sage of six paths mode to match him, ' it is better than nothing ' I thought.

As i activated the sage of six paths mode my body was covered with fire like golden chakra, my whisker marks changed to three bars which were black in colour, the whole sealing array became visible, starting from my stomach and spreading throughout my body in thick black lines, I also gained the truth seaking balls which were hovering behind me in a vertical circle. By the time my transformation was over, Sasuke's susanoo had already formed an cross bow and was was shooting an arrow right at me. I quickly motioned my truth seeking balls to intercept the arrow.

The explosion that followed shook the ground I was standing on. I quickly flew up and threw the giant Rashenshuriken I had formed using the claws provided by the chakra shroud, for once not need a clone to help me. The Rashenshuriken hit the susanoo on the chest and expanded outwards taking a huge portion of it out in the explosion.

Now a normal Rashenshuriken could not do so much damage to the Susanoo but add the sage chakra to it and you have a S-rank technique capable of dealing heavy damage to even the complete Susanoo.

As the giant hole in the Susanoo was filling up by the chakra provided by Sasuke, I flew up to attack him using the truth seaking balls as make shift rods. By the time I reached him, he was already slashing his ethreal swords of the susanoo towards me. I dodged the first one and blocked the second one in a cross guard. Giant cracks appeared on the sword from the point of contact.

' So my truth seeking balls can cause severe damage to his Susanoo, atleast I am not at complete disadvantage'.

Trying to end it as quickly as possible and not

giving him a chance to use his rinnegan. I combined the Rashenshuriken and the truth seeking balls and threw it right at his face, he tried to fly up to avoid it but he was a little slow as instead of hitting his face the Rashenshuriken exploded on his stomach and the explosion this time put the earlier one to shame. The entire susanoo was caught in the explosion and this time nothing of it remained.

I had used most of my chakra for that attack and was now running on fumes and it seemed that Sasuke too had survived by reinforcing the susanoo with as much chakra as he could, as without doing that i doubt he would have come out of that explosion alive.

The final fight between us ended the way it always does, a rasengan vs a chidori, but this time none of us pulled back, we were fighting fighting on fumes, we didn't even have enough chakra to perform the academy techniques, so this was our final attack i could feel it, we didnt stop our attack even when both ours hands started to bleed, we still continued. At last our techniques ended, not because we wanted it to but because we had both lost our hands and couldn't continue the techniques. We stood there staring at each other for what seemed like eternity but it couldn't have been more then a few seconds, then Sasuke smiled, not his arrogant smirk but an actual smile as he then closed his eyes and fell back to the ground, I followed soon, falling besides him.

"So this was your plan" I managed to mutter.

He didn't want to rule the world as he had said he planned to, he just wanted to end his own suffering, to let go. " Bastard", I said as I again stared at the moon above. Sasuke had died the only way which I had never thought he would, with a smile on his face. I took a last look at his face and closed my eyes.

So how was it, my first chapter. Please review your thought and some constructive critisism is always welcomed. Next chapter will be updated soon . Till then, Stay cool, Stay classy.
