(A/O: I am sorry that it took so long for me to finish this story. But to be honest, I was having such a massive writer's block going on with it that it made it all but impossible to continue in one way or another. So I hope you like this final chapter of the story.)

Naruto sat on a rock and watched as his family prepared for what was to come.

For months now, he had watched and aided his family in the construction of their new home. They were the Nephilim, and it was now their duty to keep balance amongst the realms. He witnessed as they built the armory, where the best of their clan built the weapons they would need. Sure their weapons weren't as powerful as his and the other Horsemen, but then again the Chard Council were no longer around to enhance such weapons anyway so it was fully understandable. Yet in the time of preparation, there was joy amongst them. Naruto and Hinata were officially married off, with the rest of the people not seeing them for the next couple of days afterwards, yet they knew exactly where the two were…

Yet as the rest of them finished up their own personal armor and weapons that would be used in the far future, Naruto and the rest of the Horsemen had one last stop to make…

Naruto had explained to Danzo that there were those whose very souls were so dark that he personally had to go and collect them to restore the balance. And even with Danzo gone, there was still one more he had to collect with the name Orochimaru...

In a deep, dark, and slightly dank base of Sound deep within Rice Country, said Sannin couldn't believe what he had heard from one of his spies from Konoha, as the man spoke of the Kyubi Jinchuriki returning from the grave, more powerful than ever, and was now aiming to make the Leaf suffer beyond comprehension for their betrayal. The Sannin was salivating at the thought of making the boy an experiment to tap into that ability to cheat death without needing to go from one body to the next and truly become an immortal being. He could wipe out Konoha (if Naruto didn't do it first), the Akatsuki out of spite for their own actions against him (since he had no clue of its destruction at this point,) and any other fools that would dare try to challenge his new power. He had just made the order for his men to seek out Naruto and find him in anyway as well as bring him back by any means when said Person appeared right behind him.

Naruto knew all about Orochimaru's ability to take another's body to keep living as well as the snake like ability to shed off mortal wounds. So instead of playing around here and taunting the man, he simply went for the decapitation via his scythe so that the leech could not escape death this time. Orochimaru didn't see it coming, but then again that was the way death was supposed to be, instant and invisible to the naked eye.

There was another reason why he did this, which was the collection of his soul for a trade with Vulgrim. Orochimaru had been near death years ago due to an experiment gone wrong since the man sought the means of immortality. So he summoned Vulgrim to aid him, which he did by placing his soul into the body of other. This was the reason Orochimaru knew about the ability to transfer bodies, and it became his obsession since he feared for his soul in death since it was now the property of Vulgrim. Said demon was pissed that a mortal man had found the means to replicate the process on his own, yet could do nothing about it since he was unable to interfere in the realm of man unless it was to make deals. So he was forced to wait for the Snake to die in the future to claim what was rightfully his. Naruto had agreed to speed up the process for a soul he had in his possession as the price…

The soul of Minato Namikaze himself…

Vulgrim had agreed to it since it only pissed him off immensely to see Orochimaru still walk amongst the living like he did. So Naruto killed the man and brought the soul to Vulgrim, who held up his end of the bargain and handed over the soul of his father. Once in his possession, Naruto did the same to him as he had all the rest of the members of his clan.

Minato had been shocked to find himself alive once more, and even more so that his own son had found a means to make it happen. Naruto had taken the time to explain how the world had changed in the years he had been stuck under the power of Vulgrim, and Minato was enraged that the village he died to protect had done so much to his son before they killed him before he became too strong. Minato agreed with Naruto in his views about what needed to happen, and was happy as well to see his wife alive and well. Minato was helpless as Kushina dragged him off by the arm for their own private alone time, and Naruto only chuckled for a few seconds before Hinata did the same to him.

So with the army of Nephilim that was now the keepers of the balance as the Chard Council once were before they became corrupted completely armed for what was to come, they waited for the call to be made. As this happened, the Tree of Life had finally grown in size to the point that the doors to other realms were accessible once more. Alya went to her own realm of the Makers to get to work on forging the new Seals that would lock the realms away from one another until the time of Armageddon. There she spent hours ingesting hallucinogenic roots as her ancestors once did to see the seven events of the future that would mean the end, and one by one the seals were forged. Alya was only a few whacks away from finishing the last one itself that would fully seal off the realm of man, but Naruto asked her to stop for a bit since he had one final thing he had to take care of. She agreed since she could use the rest, so she went off to spend some time with the Nephilim who had become her husband. While it seemed weird, she was the last of her race so it was only natural that she found a suitable husband elsewhere.

(Konoha)

As the Seals of the Apocalypse were nearing completion, Jiraiya had finally finished up his preparations with the seal to summon the Shinigami. It took a while with all the research he had to do to make this seal, but as it was it should work.

Sasuke as bound with chakra suppression cuffs as well as gagged since the people were tired of hearing him shout out threats they all knew he wasn't able to pull off even if he was free to try. With everything in place, Jiraiya activated the seal to summon the Shinigami to speak with the deity.

Vulgrim appeared in a flash of greenish blue flame in all his demonic glory. He had been told by Naruto that the humans of this village would do this, so he was expecting them this whole time. He wondered why it took so long for them to call him, and as he looked down he saw all the intricate seals to prevent him from moving from the spot, which he had to give that one to them for thinking ahead.

"Why have you summoned me mortal," asked Vulgrim as he clicked his fingers together.

"We have need of your assistance oh deadly one," said Jiraiya with a respectful bow. He wasn't the only one either, since all the council members, the Clan Heads, as well as the rookies themselves followed his example and bowed as well. One did not disrespect the god of Death after all.

"Elaborate," said Vulgrim simply, all the while knowing full well the reason why he had been summoned. He couldn't help but laugh internally since he had no power over the Horsemen, nor did anyone else for that matter. They were the literal pillars that kept the balance in check akin to the gods in myths and stories. For these foolish mortals to believe that anyone or anything could control them was baffling yet hilarious to hear.

"There is a boy by the name of Naruto Uzumaki who has somehow acquired powers that defy our own means of explanation," said Jiraiya, "and with said power he has struck a blow against our village and claims the title of Shinigami for himself. He even defied the natural order by resurrecting a dead woman, so we beseech you for aid against this boy who claims such a title for himself when it is rightfully yours."

"You speak true," said Vulgrim as he pretended to think on it. "The one you speak of has become a nuisance by claiming such a title. But I have tried to deal with him personally and he has more power than I expected and I have yet to eliminate him."

"Allow us to aid you in this," said Jiraiya in hopes that the Shinigami would listen to their plan.

"And how do you expect to aid me?"

"Help us create a seal to bind him," said Jiraiya, "that way, he will no longer be your problem and he will forced to serve the village that he attacked without a reason."

"A seal you say," said Vulgrim once again in false thought. He laughed even harder internally over the fact that Jiraiya had claimed that Naruto had attacked them without a reason, which was the furthest thing from the truth and he knew it. The horrific things this village had done to an innocent child had blackened their souls over the years, and if that wasn't a good enough reason, they had even attacked Naruto when he came back as a Horseman. That alone was suicide in execution and the best reason to kill someone. "I have but one that could do such a thing, but there is a catch to it."

"Whatever it is, we can overcome it and adapt," said Jiraiya without hesitation. The fact that the Shinigami had a seal to aid them at all was good enough for them.

"Very well," said Vulgrim, "the price of my services is a soul. But judging by the seals you made, you already have such a thing prepared for me to take already. Yet the catch here is that I require two if you are to receive my help."

"Why two?" Asked Tsunade, who was confused about that.

"Because the seal needed to bind him is one thing," explained Vulgrim, "but the seal to summon him in the first place costs extra. You only have the means to summon me forth, yet you need another one to summon him." Those in attendance could not argue with that logic since they really had nothing they could say to do so. So they looked at the group and wondered who to sacrifice to the Shinigami along with Sasuke. It was Ino who made that decision by pushing Sakura forward, and Vulgrim held out his hand to suck her soul out as she was forced forward. He didn't really care whose soul he got since they would all die in the end anyway once all this was over. Her body fell over along with Sasuke whose soul had been drained as well. Once he had both souls in his possession, he pulled out both scrolls that Naruto had given him to give to the mortals who were foolish enough to try and bind a Horseman.

"We thank you for your help," said Jiraiya as he and the rest of the group bowed their heads in thanks.

"My pleasure," said Vulgrim with a smile as he sank back into the floor as the portal he used to come out reopened so he could head back. After he left, Jiraiya and the rest of the group looked at the scrolls given to them, and knew they had plenty of work to do setting it up…

It took two whole months to set up, since the seals were complex as all hell, and the fact they had to be placed in the exact spot illustrated in the scroll only made it harder since the sheer size of the seal was massive. They set it up in the Arena that they used for the Chunin exams, the very same one that Naruto showed them that he was becoming too strong since even though he had little to no training or even a proper instructor to become so he was able to take on and win against Neji, a Hyuga prodigy that he was never meant to beat. This had been their wake up call to monitor Naruto better to see if the plan to mold him into a weapon could still be salvaged, but the moment he came back with Sasuke after defeating him at the Valley of the End, his fate had been sealed…

The seals were not only on the Arena floor alone, but the seats as well. The instructions were very clear about the fact that to bind Naruto to the service of the village itself, all citizens must be in attendance to make it work. So there were seals on the seats for the people to sit on since their chakra was needed to bind him.

After two months of tireless work, Jiraiya had given the place a second round of looking to make sure everything was where it needed to be, and since it was he sent out the message that all citizens were to report to their assigned spots in the morning. They would bind Naruto in the morning and have him leading the charge against those who forsook them via alliances and trade routes by the afternoon. It was poetic justice in their minds since it was because of their actions towards Naruto that made them cut all ties with the village in the first place, so to have Naruto be the one to force them back in line was perfect.

As all this took place, not one of the villagers noticed a lone raven on the Hokage Monument, looking at all this so that his master could see it as he did…

But the morning came; the people were in a cheerful mood since they knew that today was the day that things changed for Konoha. So they all filed into the Arena to witness what they truly believed was the day that Konoha would once again be great, strong, and best of all, feared.

Once everyone was in their assigned positions, they all made the proper hand signs to activate the seal. The seal activated as it glowed bright. The sky darkened as dark clouds appeared out of nowhere. This was a bit odd since it was the middle of summer and there wasn't a cloud in the sky a moment ago, but that didn't stop them from pressing on with the seal. Lightning began to sprout out of the clouds and hit the dead center of the seal itself, but not just once but many times. After several minutes of this, Naruto appeared in the seal itself on his knees. Before he could do anything else, multiple chains emerged from the ground and bound him in place so that he could not move.

"What the hell is this," shouted Naruto in anger as he struggled in his attempts to break free from the chains that bound him in place.

"This is a seal that was gifted to us by the true Shinigami," said Tsunade as she stepped forward with a smirk on her face since she saw that the seal was doing what it was supposed to do, at least the first part so far was. "It turns out that he was not happy about what you have done and saw fit to grant us the means to not only summon you to this very spot but to bind you into serving the village once again as the weapon you were always meant to be."

"As if you could control me so easily," snarled Naruto in anger at being bound like this.

"But we already have brat," said Jiraiya, who was on his knees as he prepared along with the rest of the people to start the second part of the seal, the part that would fully control him with a seal on his body that would force him to obey their every command. With a simple nod from Tsunade, they did so, and Naruto screamed as black colored electricity began to course through his body. Tsunade began to laugh in joy at seeing the brat in pain once again like he should have been in hell itself, but her laughter was abruptly cut off when Naruto began to cease his screaming and began to laugh himself.

"To think you would risk everything to try and bind me like this," said Naruto with actual tears coming out of his eyes from how hard he was laughing from all this. He then got to his feet and pulsed enough power to shatter the chains that bound him. They had been strong indeed, since he wanted to sell the act of being bound well enough, but he was an entity that could not be bound by mortal men or women so he was easily able to break free.

"What is this," shouted Jiraiya before he as well as everyone in the village felt a sharp cold pain in their very souls as they lost the ability to breathe for a few seconds.

"This is the end for you all," said Naruto as he stretched a bit. The seals were not strong enough to keep him bound, but they still left him stiffer than he wished so he needed to get the kinks out of his muscles. "I warned you that all who challenged death itself only hasten their own, and the fact that you used a seal that bound everyone to attempt in its use has only sentenced everyone here."

"But the Shinigami," started Jiraiya in utter shock about all this. This was not how he expected this to go at all.

"Who do you think gave the Shinigami these seals," asked Naruto with a smirk of his own.

"What?" Was all Tsunade was capable of saying.

"I set this all up since I knew you would try and bind me like this in some manner," said Naruto, "I told you that there were rules that I must follow, and your actions have just made it so I can kill everyone here due to the nature of the seal. So to all who are within this arena, when you descend into the depths of hell itself, remember that it was Tsunade that brought such pain upon you. If she had just let it go and done nothing more, I would not have been able to attack like this."

As he finished up with his mini speech, the sky ripped open in a violent way. This was the portal to the Realm of the Nephilim opening up wide, and out of it dropped all the members of the Uzumaki clan. They were armed with their various weapons, and all had been given one simple order to follow…

Destroy everything…

And they began to do so from the village's walls inwards. The people saw they were under attack and all began to flee in terror of this. The Shinobi left to try and defend their home while the civilians went to try and hide somewhere until this was all over. Tsunade as well as Jiraiya were still there as Naruto began to walk away from them. They had nowhere to escape to nor did they have the means to hurt him so he didn't care what they did for the moment. As he walked away, he was greeted by his pale horse. And as he saddled up, he was joined by the others who made up the Horsemen. He had managed to find Hinata's horse Fury. Sure what he found was its bones, but he was still able to reverse death itself with the power of Heaven and Hell enhancing his powers for a brief moment.

So now they were all here, ready to eliminate this cesspool of corruption from the face of the earth once and for all. And with a kick of their legs into the sides of their horses they rode off into the village to begin their mission, leaving both Tsunade and Jiraiya in shock about all this. Tsunade eventually made it out of the arena, but Jiraiya was too much in shock about all this and remained on his knees in fear.

But as he stayed there, many others were dealing with Naruto's forces in various places elsewhere…

Anko had attempted to fight off the forces of the Nephilim, even when all those who with her were either dead or fled when the realization of their inevitable death finally dawned on them fully. She threw kunai, snakes, and various jutsu at them, but they were no stopped in the slightest. Yet when all seemed like the end for her, they stopped. They had her surrounded so she could not escape, but they were just standing there like they were waiting for something. And like she thought, that thing appeared shortly in the form of Naruto himself.

"Hello Anko," said Naruto as he stepped forward.

"Well if it isn't the village weapon," spat Anko in disgust. She so wished she could do to him what she did the weeks leading up to his execution all over again. His screams of pain had been music to her ears and she could really use that now more than ever since all she heard were the screams of others who were not being tortured by her personally.

"I was," said Naruto simply, "but I go by Death now. You would do well to remember that fact now of all times."

"So what the fuck do you want?"

"To ask a simple question," said Naruto simply.

"Are you serious," asked Anko, who was shocked to hear that the demon brat had his men surround her after killing most of them before the others retreated to ask her a question.

"Indeed I am," said Naruto, "and all I wanted to ask you was did you feel any sort of guilt these past several years? Even a miniscule amount of it in that black pit of an organ you call a heart?"

"Guilt over what? Torturing you? Or any of the other countless people who I have done it to in my long career doing it? No you stupid fucking idiot. I felt no guilt doing what I did, and in fact I wish that I could do it again to you right now so as to show these men who they follow is nothing more than a sniveling weak pathetic coward who calls himself a man!"

"Well thank you for your honesty," said Naruto with a smirk as he used his Death Grip to grab ahold of her neck so as to pull her towards him. He squeezed to the point that she could not talk back, just garble words as she tried her hardest to not pass out from the lack of oxygen. As he held her, he channeled power into the Curse Seal that Orochimaru had given her in her youth. While others had lost their when he had died by Naruto's hands, hers was a prototype and as such she was stuck with it. Didn't matter really, since she wouldn't live to complain about it soon enough. Once enough power had been placed into the Mark, Naruto tossed her backwards onto her back like the worthless piece of trash she was.

"What the fuck did you do to me?!" demanded Anko before a pain shot up her body. It originated from her neck, but she felt it as it painfully as well as slowly made its way to the rest of her body, yet only downwards away from the brain.

"I enhanced your Curse Mark beyond the means of you being able to resist it," said Naruto as he as well as the others watched her twitch in pain. "Your body can't deal with it, so it's essentially rotting from the inside out. This is the price of betraying one's self. You were like me once. Hated. Shunned. No one wanted to be around you because of that Mark. Then they offered you a chance to be loved like you wanted for so long. All you had to do...was hate and abuse me like they wanted you to do. It seems fitting that your life should end in a painful manner such as my own, and my only regret is that while my suffering lasted weeks, yours will not. But you have an eternity in Hell itself to look forward to, so I believe that quite makes up for it."

"I still had a chance at a life unlike you! I knew you were as good as dead when they told me to torture you that day. I wasn't about to stick my neck out for some scrawny ass kid, wearing mostly orange, acted like an idiot almost all the time, and was pretending to be a Shinobi. You were dead weight!" exclaimed Anko while the others watched the two interact and waited for Naruto to do something.

What he did do...was laugh… Hard…

"You're right. I was all those things. But you were just as pathetic, if not more than I was back then Anko. You were a dango eating junky. You loved to hurt people whether they deserved it or not. You walked around looking like a slut with your choice in kunoichi attire and smirked all the while knowing it was true. You loved to dress in such a manner and loved to make men drool when they watched you go by, but never made the approach to ask you out. Of course it's no surprise since no one really took you seriously outside of the fact Orochimaru was once your teacher before he threw your ass away. What man in their right mind would want to date, much less fuck a pathetic, discarded student of the notorious Orochimaru of the Sannin?" said Naruto in a mocking tone while Anko grit her teeth. She would have said more, but by this point, the Curse Mark had made its way into her brain since the rest of her body had been corrupted, and Anko let out one last ear splitting scream of pain before she fell over dead. Her blood pulled out of her mouth, eyes and ears as she fell over and hit the ground hard. Naruto and the rest of the Nephilim saw her dead body hit the ground and quickly dispersed since they were needed elsewhere…

Hiashi was running through the village utterly terrified. He as well as the rest of the Hyuga Elders had seen Hinata in their home just a second ago. The Hyuga were realists, and the day that Naruto came and crashed the wedding between Sasuke and Hinata, they had known that there was no chance at winning against him. So they saw to the secret construction of a massive tunnel beneath their Clan house that led out of the village towards safety. Sure they were abandoning the village they had been in since the founding of it but it wasn't like they had nowhere else to go. Sure Suna would kill them off instead of granting them sanctuary, but Kumo was the village that would most definitely let them settle there since they had been trying to get the Hyuga into their village for years now. They would not say no to just about the full clan itself.

So they had made plans to evacuate the village, or at least they did until the meeting with the Shinigami granting them the means to bind Naruto into the village's servitude. So their plans at evacuation were put on hold. But when Naruto had broken free from the seal as well as told the truth about where it had come from in the first place, they all quickly tried to evacuate once again. But the problem was that Hinata was already there waiting for them since she knew how the Hyuga thought when the odds were against them. She had been there and slaughtered the first group of Hyuga who came into the house to try and enter the tunnel towards safety.

In the past Hinata would have taken pity on those from the Branch Family since she hated the seal they had been branded with to enslave them for generations. But after years of hearing them not only belittle Naruto after he was executed, but herself as well only killed off that pity to its entirety. So here she stood, killing off all who entered the house to try and escape the destruction that had fallen upon the village. It didn't matter if they were Branch or Main, elderly or a child since all were to die today, no exceptions.

So Hiashi and the Elders had arrived at the entrance of the tunnel to witness the sight of Hinata killing one of the Branch Member women via a spear through the heart before she slammed her foot down onto the head of her five year old son effectively caving it in as she did so. This horrified all of them to see Hinata kill off her own family so ruthlessly like this, and they knew that they had to escape another way. So they threw the few Branch members of the family who were there into the room to buy them enough time to escape, but that didn't really help in the slightest since Hinata killed them just as easily as she had done to the others. She had no Chakra or even chakra points to aim for so their Byakugan were useless against her.

Hiashi as well as the village elders made it only three blocks away from the house of horror that they had just escaped from before the three elders were all gunned down by Itachi, who had watched from the rooftops and waited for people to try and leave to shoot them in the back. A death from behind was an insult to any warrior of any kind, and these bastards were without honor of any sort so they deserved a death to represent that. Hiashi fared no better since he was run through the back out his chest with Chaos eater wielded by Yagura. Hiashi died trying to remove the blade, but the damage was too much and he would have died even if he managed to remove the weapon…

(Jiraiya)

Jiraiya was still on his knees in shock about the whole thing since this was not how it was supposed to go. The Nephilim left him there since there was someone who wanted to deal with him personally. And Minato was not in the mood for mercy at this point of time.

"Minato! How...How is this even possible?!" asked Jiraiya, who was shocked to see Minato here out of everyone else. Sure Naruto had brought back the entirety of his clan as what he heard were classified as Nephilim, but Minato had his soul taken from him by the Shinigami personally when he used the jutsu to seal the Kyubi into Naruto on the day of his birth.

"You would be surprised what my son and his allies can do when given the chance. Not that you would know anything about giving my son a chance sensei!" answered Minato, as he saw Jiraiya look away in shame at being judged by the man he saw as a son of sorts.

"We needed your son to be controlled Minato, in case he was the child of prophecy. The prophecy itself threatens Konoha. It threatens your home! The Shinobi way! A way we have lived for years!" explained Jiraiya after a moment of silence between them.

"So my son should suffer and die because of it? Is it simply because of the prophecy that you did this? Or did you do it because of the Kyubi? Because of the Biju he once held before he returned to the world of the living? Out of some stupid need to get revenge for me over the fact I died saving this miserable village that refused to honor my dying wish! Something I know was made known to the people, but knowing your sensei, he deliberately spun things in a way that would make the people NOT honor it, and do the exact opposite!" exclaimed Minato with Jiraiya looking away since that was exactly how it happened.

"How was I supposed to react? You were dead, Kushina was dead, and the Kyubi had just been sealed up in your son. All signs of the boy being the child of prophecy were showing, the village was in danger due to it, and I reacted in the best interest of Konoha. You may have been my student, but I stressed the importance of putting the village first, and your family second. That if you had to choose, it was the choice that was for the greater good, and not that of your family," answered Jiraiya with Minato scowling.

"Yes. You did teach me that Jiraiya, but I never embraced that part of your teachings to me. What point is there to serving the greater good if your own children suffer for it? In the end, they would hate you, despise you, and resent you for it. The greater good is not worth the sacrifice of your own family. You would agree if you actually had one instead of peeping all the time on women," countered Minato with Jiraiya wincing slightly at the jab.

"You are the closest thing to family I have Minato," replied Jiraiya with Minato sneering at him.

"You lost the right to be a surrogate Father to me the moment you betrayed my family for your so called greater good. I don't even acknowledge you as my sensei either. As far as I'm concerned Jiraiya...that man I knew is dead and you are just a fraud," stated Minato with Jiraiya looking like he had just been hit hard in the gut by one of Tsunade's super punches. He was then punched hard enough to the point that he was knocked out, at which point Minato lifted him up and carried him over his shoulder since Naruto still had need of the pervert alive for some reason. For what exactly, he did not know, but he was going to see what Naruto had in mind and most likely enjoy the outcome…

(Shizune)

Shizune was currently hiding out in the hospital and had become worried. The battle was for the most part over outside, but it was clear Konoha was not the winner in the fight against Naruto or the army he brought alongside him, and now she would have to face him. It wasn't that she hated the blonde personally, but Tsunade had always told her Naruto was a monster, and should only be tolerated to an extent until something could be done about him. Who was she to question Tsunade, either as the Hokage, or as her mentor? She couldn't! Tsunade had raised her, taught the younger woman everything she could about medicine, and knew what was best for her. If Tsunade said Naruto was an evil and demonic creature then that was all she needed to hear to believe it herself.

"Tell me Shizune...do you fear death?" said Naruto behind Shizune suddenly which startled the woman nearly to death itself.

"You are here! Then that means Tsunade is...is...," said Shizune with Naruto looking at her in the eyes as he spoke.

"She's not dead," said Naruto with Shizune getting her poison dart wrist launcher ready to put him down. "Nor shall she be, but she will wish that she was by the time I am done with her."

"I will aid Tsunade and end your life right here and now demon!" said Shizune while Naruto shook his head at her.

"Wow, it's far worse than I expected from you. You can't even think for yourself after all these years. Such a waste of a life if you ask me. You had such great potential to do great things with your talents and Tsunade turned you into a mindless drone to fulfill her every need. She would say 'Jump!' and you would say 'How high?' while not even asking yourself 'Why should I jump when asked?' instead. I know since I see into your very soul itself that some of the debts she owed couldn't be paid with money and required certain services be done to get them cleared up. From the look in your eyes, such debts did happen with her gambling, and she had you pay them since no self-respecting Sannin like her would dare sleep with men she owed such crazy debts made when drunk," said Naruto seeing Shizune's eyes become filled with hurt at some of the memories that played out in her head. Naruto spoke the truth about such a thing. Hell, Tsunade sold Shizune's virginity to an elderly man and went and got drunk as the man fucked her in a painful manner, not caring about her pleasure in any sort of the way, making her feel as though she was filthy.

"Shut up! You don't know anything!" said Shizune while Naruto just looked at her with a sense of pity. That was all he could do for her, simply pity her…

"You are slave in every sense of the word. You obeyed her; I understand that since she was your mentor. Still, there comes a time when one should think for themselves, and question the orders given since they may not be in the best interest of everyone. That includes you," said Naruto seeing Shizune getting even angrier at him.

"I regret nothing. Tsunade took care of me when I had no one else! She trained me as her apprentice when there were plenty of others more capable than myself! I would do anything she asked of me without hesitation!" said Shizune before firing her poison at him, but the projectiles bounced off of him, and landed on the ground at his feet. Naruto could only sigh at the stupidity of this woman standing before him, and even the term 'woman' was in question since women were strong and here was one who was nothing more than a slave without her own mind.

"Even if it means she plays the part of your pimp with you being her whore when required to pay off debts that money can't. Where greed won't work, the pleasures of the flesh, and carnal desires of the body can in its place?" said Naruto with Shizune crying now with anger still there.

"I regret nothing!" said Shizune before she was punched in the back of the head by Kushina, who had stood there and listened to a woman proudly say she would whore herself out for someone she cared about. Kushina could only growl in rage as she saw how much Tsunade had screwed with Shizune's head in the past sixteen years and would so enjoy it when her punishment was dished out in the end. So she picked Shizune up since she was still needed for the moment and simply nodded at Naruto as they both went their separate ways to find others to kill off in this village…

Ayame and her father were huddled in fear in their private bunker that they spent so much money to build. They had received a vast influx of money in the years after the demon brat was killed since the place became famous for their 'Naruto Special' which was drugged ramen. They made it to keep the brat weakened over the years, and it all paid off in the end since their business was booming shortly after his death. They used the money they accumulated over the years to build the bunker when Naruto had returned the first time during the wedding, and they were using it now to hide away so as to survive until the invading army was done and left. They had enough supplies to last weeks if they had to, and were prepared to stay here as long as they needed. The entrance was well hidden to the point that only the two of them even knew it was there, so they should be safe from harm…

Keyword should have been…

Naruto had remembered the drugged ramen that the two had given him over the years as they lied to his face, all with a smile as they did it. So Naruto knew exactly how he would end them both here and now…

It was true that the door was well hidden, with several seals to hide their presence inside of it, but thy only worked for those who sensed chakra, but Naruto sensed souls instead. So he used his gauntlet to cut a medium sized hole in the ground like one does with glasscutters, and then placed his hand over the hole itself. He had done this quietly, so as to not tip off the two people inside, and once in place he summoned up a small portal via his Interdiction so as to use the power over the four tailed Biju. He used the power to summon a jet of water that began to fill the bunker entirely. Naruto could hear them scream as the candles went out and they were stuck in the dark trying to escape. Yet the stream was too powerful for them to climb back up, so they were stuck down in their bunker. But just when they thought that they would drown, Naruto stopped the flow of water.

They breathed a sigh of relief before the fear returned once more as they saw a massive stream of fire began to shoot downwards instead of water. In time they felt as the water began to heat up, and screamed as they began to boil alive. Yet Naruto did not stop the stream, and kept it up until the screams stopped entirely since Ayame and her father had been boiled like the ramen they used to serve him…

These were but a few of the examples of how people died within the village, since they had no means to defend themselves against the Nephilim nor the means to escape the village at all. The ROOT tunnels had been flooded so that they could not be used by anyone, which a few of the council members tried and drowned doing, the gates had been sealed shut, and the enemy was pushing them towards the center of town as the village was set on fire to burn it down entirely off the face of the earth. And as Tsunade fought back with everything that she had, her strength was dwindling and her punches did nothing to the invaders. So in the end, she ended up as the only person in the center of the village since the others were being killed off elsewhere, and yet the Nephilim had still yet to even strike her once in this whole endeavor. But that changed not too long after she was surrounded on all sides in the center of the village.

"Tsunade Senju," said Naruto when he arrived as said woman was forced to her knees by two different Nephilim. "Here we are, at the point of balance in the world."

"And how can you possibly call this genocide of a village balance?" she asked with a scowl that was akin to a canine's.

"Because this very village is the root of so much mayhem and destruction, and this book proves it fully. "Pointed out Naruto as he held up journal that once belonged to the Sandaime. He had tortured the man quite painfully in Hell to acquire the specific location of said thing, but it was worth it in the end to see just how corrupt this village was. "Your sensei spent his life causing mayhem throughout the land in a vain attempt to make this accursed village the only one that stood while all others were enslaved to it. He played god in the attempt to become a false one with the power to enslave all others to his will. And the bodies he buried through his actions are enough to classify as genocide three times over what I am doing now."

"And what's wrong with that?" asked Tsunade as she spit at his feet in anger, "this is the world we live in, with the strongest ruling over the weak."

"Do you really believe that," asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow, "because when was the last time you heard of any of the Daimyo of any country fighting their own battles? None of them do, so they would be classified as weak and yet they rule over so many others."

"Go to hell brat," said Tsunade, who at this point was done talking, "I stand by my village and will die with it. So just fucking kill me already!"

"No," said Naruto simply as he pulled a scroll out. This particular scroll he had in his hand was glowing with an ominous dark aura, but the sheer amount of work that went into it was worth it. Naruto had asked for the aid of a few dozen of the best sealers in the clan to make it one that would do the deed that needed to be done.

"Oh so what? Did your conscious finally get the better of you to the point that you realized that killing us is wrong?"

"No," said Naruto as the people he had waited for arrived. His father had arrived with Jiraiya by the throat, now on his knees before Tsunade, with his mother arriving with Shizune in the same fashion. "I just wanted to remind you of what I said last time we met. I warned you that you would be killed by the one you loved the most, and I meant it."

"So you are going to have your own mother do your dirty work for you?" growled Tsunade in rage that the woman she saw as a daughter would be the one to do so.

"No," said Naruto as he shook his head in disagreement, "since you don't give a damn about her."

"How dare you say that?!"

"Tsunade," said Naruto emotionlessly, as one would expect Death itself to speak, "I see into your very soul itself, and I know what it is you truly care for. While you may be in denial of it, I see it as clear as day."

"Okay Mr. Omnipotent, who is it that I love so much?"

"You," said Naruto as he pointed at her, "you are a vain creature that cares for no one other than herself."

"What…" was all Tsunade was able to say since his statement caught her off guard with the bluntness of it.

"Allow me to elaborate," said Naruto as he put his hands behind his back and began to pace around Tsunade as he spoke, "you claim to love or care for so many, yet I can prove you do not. You claim that you love your grandparents, the ones who took you in when you lost your own parents, yet in the end you smirch the name of the Senju as well as the Uzumaki with your actions. You work for the village that leaked the information to other villages so that they could kill off your family in Whirlpool, and not only that, but they erased all the history of both clans entirely in this village. You could have stopped them, but you did not nor did you reverse the damage done when you became Hokage of the village, you decided to feed your vices and let their memory fade away, and let me, one of the only Uzumaki still around, your own blood relative, distant as it might be, suffer with you ordering my own execution to appease the masses. So you obviously don't love your family."

Tsunade would have said something, but Naruto punched her right in the throat with enough force to not kill her, but hurt like hell so she would not talk.

"I don't want to hear a word from you, since there is nothing you can say to change not only my views of you, but the entirety of both clans who you have angered. Even your own lover, as well as your deceased brother, hates what you have become. They can't believe that the strong woman who they had loved so much has become this bitter husk of a woman who can't function without some sort of alcoholic beverage in her hand. Dan hates you even more over the fact that you ruined his niece's life, made her into your slave. You made it impossible for her to live a life of her own while you wasted yours drinking and gambling. You forced her to wait on you hand and foot like you were a queen, you whored her out to debt collectors you could not pay because you were too high and mighty to pay your own debts. So obviously you don't care for her."

Naruto then nodded to Kushina, who knew what he wanted and twisted Shizune's head with a sickening audible snap to show that her neck had been snapped.

"You say you like Jiraiya, but you refused his advances for so long even though he is practically obsessed with you. But going off the horrific things I have seen him do via peering into his soul, you made a wise choice there." This time the nod was to Minato, who copied his wife in disposing of his prisoner.

"You even go on to claim that you love the village that your grandfather helped to build, and yet look what your actions have brought unto it!" Said Naruto as he used his hands to emphasize the point. The village of Konoha was ablaze and burning to the ground as the screams of those being slaughtered were audible for all to hear. "You left it because of your bad memories of the place and let it fester due to the corruption that tarnished its image. You came back and wiped out what little light there was left when you killed me! You even tried to go against the very balance of the universe itself and tried to bind Death, all because I was not burning it hell like you and everyone else wanted! Who are you to judge where a person goes? You are no god, but a vain woman who lives on the misery of others since it amuses you to see others suffer like you have. So to see me not only free of Hell itself, but in a position of power you could never attain, you sought to control me like you did before, and once again you failed! You bargained with the lives of all in this village, even children who had a chance to find redemption before their end, but you have condemned them to hell itself with your actions, yet I doubt you care since misery loves company! For one such as you, Heaven will never receive you, Hell is not a deep enough hole for you, and so I thought of the perfect place to put you in the end…"

Naruto unrolled the scroll he had in his hand and took out the dagger that had been sealed within it. It was of an intricate design that was laminated with a mix of light and dark to make the thing seem like it was at constant odds with itself. The dagger had been hard to make for that reason, yet after much trial and error they forged it perfectly, and though it could only be used once, that was all they needed it to be used. Naruto took the blade into his hand and stabbed Tsunade in the heart with it, and then let it go as he did. Like it was designed to do, the dagger melted into her very being and dug itself deep enough to grab ahold of her very soul itself. Tsunade screamed the whole time this happened, but it was a punishment so it was supposed to hurt. In the end, her genjutsu she used to appear young shattered, but to make it worse was the fact that her skin seemed to be melting off her, but it never fell off. When the process was complete, her outer appearance reflected her soul, ugly as sin…

"This is the Curse of the Rejected," said Naruto as he waved the two men who were holding Tsunade away so that she fell to her hands in pain. "This curse will haunt you to the end of your days, which will be far off from now. All who look upon you will see you for the monster you are, the memories of what you have done will be laid bare for all to see. You will not die, since death itself rejects you. You will not starve, yet food will have no taste to you. You will not die from lack of liquids, yet they will not hydrate or intoxicate you. You may speak, but no one will understand you. You may write, but no one will be able to read what has been written. You will be truly alone, rejected by all planes of existence, forced to watch the world move on without your help or interference since you can't do anything with this Curse on you. You can't get close to others since the Curse will stop you, nor can anyone get close to you since the Curse will tell all about you. This is your punishment for all the lives you have ruined, and when Armageddon is once more called upon this world, as it will in time, even then you will suffer since your soul will live on eternally in the newly named realm of Mu. Within that realm, there is nothing, nor is there anything, and all that will be there is you alone. I told you that you would die by the hands of the one you loved most of all, but the reality of the matter is you killed yourself with your actions long ago since you are not the same woman people once knew, and this new version of you they see they can only look at in disgust as well as hatred. Now suffer alone, knowing full well that you brought this upon yourself."

Naruto and the others who came with him to deliver this punishment all left her there to weep. Since in all honesty, that was all she could do anymore…

(Epilogue)

The world had a way of repeating itself even when granted another chance…

While Konoha had fallen and the corruption it bred was burned along with it, it did not mean the world was perfect in any sort of way. It was simply given a second chance to better itself…

Many of the people that Naruto had met before its destruction had heeded his words wisely and done as he said they should…

Obito Uchiha devoted the rest of his life helping orphans who lost their families in the battles that came in time. He died at the age of 74, an elderly yet happy old man. He had lived a better life and earned his place in Heaven, where Rin was waiting for him by the front gate to welcome him personally…

Nagato Uzumaki had in time finally drunk the potion that had been left to him. It did as Naruto said it would and healed his body up, but not immediately like he expected. His body took over a month to fully heal, and even then he had to take it easy and exorcise his body to adapt his muscles once again from not using them in years. He and Konan decided to leave the Elemental Country entirely since they saw that there could be no true peace in these lands as it was and made their way far to the West. There they became heroes to a foreign kingdom, and lived their lives to the fullest protecting the family that they made together. Over the generations the Uzumaki name was known once again, but this time around no one sought out their destruction due to jealousy like Konoha had done...

Gaara had led his people fairly for years, but since he was one of the only Jinchuriki left since the others had died over the years, there was a war against him with the combined might of Kumo as well as Iwa trying to eliminate him since their new Kages had gone a bit mad with power and assumed that Suna was still the weakest of the villages. What neither of them was aware of was the alliance between Suna and Kiri. So while the war was short with it lasting about half a year, Suna and its allies came out on top with Kumo as well as Iwa being destroyed. With their destruction, the lands began an era of unification that brought peace to their land for several generations. They advanced themselves in time, but about 200 years of their unification, a new enemy sowed its face from far off lands.

This enemy brought steam powered military vehicles of all sorts that wreaked havoc towards the Elemental Continent, and while they tried to fight them off, in the end the invaders won and claimed the new land as their own. And in time the cycle was repeated with a new enemy, and so on and so forth until this point of time.

The world was comprised of many nations that spanned the globe, and they all had their own religions, politics, and views of the world. It was these differences that made them all fight each other for the dumbest of reasons such as greed, resources and so much more. Hell there had been at least several wars that started over a woman alone.

Yet while this was all going on, Naruto and his own family could do nothing but watch and keep the peace between the other realms of existence. The last seal had been forged shortly after Konoha had been wiped out, so the barrier was up and would not be broken until the Seventh Seal broke once more.

There had been many forces in both Heaven as well as Hell that wanted to start the Apocalypse, and used various means to influence people throughout history to do the act that was inscribed into the various seals so that they would break. Naruto and the other Horseman had been able to slow it down exponentially; there were those who went undetected until it was too late to stop it.

And now the last seal was being threatened itself since the events leading up to it had all gone through even though Naruto and the others had tried it stop it. And while he had failed, he could not help but feel sorry for the child who would bring about the end to his race…

For it was inscribed in the Seventh Seal… That it would break the day that a child pure of heart finally snapped and succumbed to the evil of the world…

And Naruto could only watch along with his family of Nephilim and the other Horsemen as they saw the boy, who had seen the world as positive, truly a pure soul who brought joy to the heart of all who spoke to him, stabbed his step father after so many years of abuse not only to himself but his family as well. The step father had not only physically abused them, but sexually abused his mother as well as his fourteen year old sister as well. No one would help since the step father hid his true self from the public so well with his charities and good will to others, but he brought all that horror he pent up inside home and unleashed it upon his family via marriage. They had been scared to speak about it to others since the man was violent, and the son had finally had enough when the stepfather literally attempted to rape his sister on the table as punishment for speaking out of turn. The boy snapped and stabbed the man, and the moment the first drop of blood hit the floor, the darkness of insanity burst free and the final Seal was broken…

The Call bellowed out as it broke, the barrier protecting the realm of man shattering to pieces…

Naruto charged forward on Despair followed by the others as well…

For once again, the Apocalypse had been brought upon the world…
