A/N: And thus we add another name to the list of 'Impatient assholes who don't get that I can't just keep ideas for stories buried instead of having so many and life getting in the way.' Might need to rename that...

Anyway, Dragonblaze66, you're in the same boat as GodShadowDX; fuck you.

Another non-writer who thinks he can understand the situation of a writer. He says that writers shouldn't put up so many stories because exactly my situation will happen. I agree with the results. I do not agree that writers should stop putting up stories. That's stupid. That's the point of this site: to put up stories. I'm seriously not bragging, but I'm really creative, so I can't just shut off 'writer mode' for new stories. That would end up being counterproductive and most likely will result in negative backlash, such as self-inflicted writers block.

Also, despite my initial opinions on it, I will be using Smoke Release, since I just watched a walkthrough of Infamous: Second Son and decided it was versatile enough to warrant using. I'll also probably make Storm Release act like Neon from the game; not sure about Video, though. (Yeah, naturally-occurring elements?) Concrete could probably go into Earth Release, but Video... maaaaaybe Light Release. Maybe. I'll think hard about it.

"Hey"- Human speech

'Hey'- Human thought

"Hey"- Jutsu/Demon speech

'Hey'- Demon thought

Let's begin

"Whaddya mean I'm incomplete?" Naruto asked incredulously, standing within his mindscape, speaking to the Juubi, who dropped a bomb on him.

"I mean that, with Shinigami-sama sealing away my negative half that allowed me to cooperate with you thus far, he also inadvertently sealed away half of your true power. As the first bijuu, and the evil manifestation of the Shinjuu, bearer of the Chakra Fruit that allowed Kaguya Otsutsuki to gain chakra, and as my jinchuriki, you should have access to all of my power. Besides the Rinne Sharingan you have, you should also have the Byakugan, and essentially the progenitor to every Kekkei Genkai in the Elemental Nations, such as the Ash Bones that spawned Shikotsumyaku, or some elements not even seen by humans, even though you've unlocked a couple of them already, as well as a greater mastery over Yin and Yang Release. Shinigami-sama sealed my other half here in the human world, and I can sense it, but if you plan to go after it, we need to think up a strategy for you to take it in without it fusing with me, making me the mindless beast I was before, probably messing you up from the inside." Juubi explained.

Face hard in concentration, Naruto thought it over. Was more power truly worth risking Juubi-chan reverting to the monster feared in the legends of the Rikudou Sennin? Of course not! But she wouldn't have brought it up if she didn't wish for Naruto to attempt this... "You want me to do this." He stated; it wasn't a question. At Juubi's smirk, he smiled softly, only to frown. "But you could become a monster again." He added.

Her smirk not faltering, Naruto knew she had a plan. "Not if we seal it inside something in your possession. Like a puppet..." She offered, her smirk growing, Naruto soon matching it.

He chuckled at her brilliance. "Juubi-chan, I could kiss you." He commented.

"What's stopping you?" She asked, her smirk turning seductive.

"True." Naruto simply said before he assaulted her lips with his own, wrapping his arms around her waist and rubbing the small of her back as she moaned wantonly, burying her slender fingers amongst his hair.

(Tazuna's house, the day after the bridge battle)

At the same time as Naruto was conversing with the Juubi, Team 7 was lounging in the bridge builders' house after another evening of working on it, having cleaned it of blood, viscera, and scorch marks. Even as Naruto awoke from his inward dialogue with his lovely tenant, a smirk stretched over his face as he finally relented under Juubi's insistence; he would need to convince Anko, possibly leave a Blood Clone, but he was definitely heading towards Juubi's sealed other half, locked away in the heart of Kage no Kuni.

Anyway, once he informed his team that he was going to train for now, he walked outside and to the back of the house, creating a large group of clones and breaking them off into multiple groups, each training on the new elements he created so far: Acid, Light, Shadow, and Plasma. He couldn't use clones to train in Mind Release, since clones didn't really have electric impulses for him to manipulate. He also had several clones take the corpses of the Seven Swordsmen and convert them into puppets, as well as modify Haku's puppet body for his plans. He also managed to, through some difficulty, unseal and remove the puppets arms originally within the seals on his back that now represented the chakra limbs he could use. During all this, he personally constructed the eventual shell that would house the Yin half of the Juubi; again and again he had to revamp the puppet, lining it with seals that could hold the volatile youki of the bijuu. After four hours, he was confident the puppet could hold half of the Juubi; thankfully, he managed to outfit it to make it strong enough on its own.

A yin-yang mask with the eyes where the dots would be, a mane of shaggy grey hair, this puppet wore a white cloak, the symbol of the Rinnegan on the back above nine tomoe in a 3x3 pattern. On its back was a pair of massive greatswords, shaped like a pair of bones with a metal rod straight through the center, a handle on the top and bottom, bereft of guards. He also outfitted its body with the tried-and-true hidden weapons and traps like all other puppets.

Satisfied with his work, Naruto sealed the currently unnamed puppet and checked in on his clones, dispelling them in groups of five, starting with Shadow Release, exercising the techniques they created and refined.

Over the course of three hours, Naruto trained in the new techniques the clones made and unsealed the Seven Swordsmen puppets, pleased with the caution the normally belligerent clones took in processing their bodies. He was intrigued with the body of Hozuki Mangetsu; a prodigy of his clan, Mangetsu used and mastered all seven swords, and was already a force to be reckoned with because of his clan's ability to turn parts of their bodies into water. It was hell to convert his body into a puppet; channeling chakra in parts of his body reduced it to water, and only quick thinking, seals, and absorbing chakra with Meiton allowed them to go through the gory process of creating a human puppet.

The real majesty was the newly recreated Haku puppet; incorporating the faux hunter-nin's Hyoton bloodline, Zabuza's apprentice, as a puppet, was now more of a frozen ghoul than a human.

Much like Shinobi, the newly named Banshee had blades for lower legs, but instead of metal, these were sharp icicles, kept unmelting with seals, and its hands were replaced with ice, of course, with foot-long claws, and the lower half of the face replaced with, what else, ice sculpted into a fanged grin with a hinge to work as a mouth. The top half of the face was replaced with half of Haku's mask, the curved, slit eye holes and Kiri symbol on display. A nozzle installed into the back of the mouth lined with seals released a wave of wind chakra, as well as released an auditory genjutsu initiated with a banshee-like wail. He refitted the effeminate nin's hair with a wig of shinobi wire that could be controlled with chakra, installed a coil of cable in the chest, tipped with a poison-dipped blade, ribcage-like blades in the stomach, and kept Haku's green sweater and brown pants.

Banshee and Kubikiribouchou each had a seal that would engulf the other when required, but the seals were modified so the sealed object could partially come out. For example, as the Zabuza puppet attacked with his zanbatou, the upper half of Banshee could sprout out and aid it. Consequently, while Banshee fought, it could unseal Kubikiribouchou on one of its arms and swing away.

Speaking of which, the Zabuza puppet, as well as the other Seven Swordsmen, save Mangetsu, were outfitted with several weapons and 'accessories' that would allow them to fight should they be without their swords.

Zabuza's arm warmers were turned into metal gauntlets with large studs on the knuckles, his face was remade into an oni mask, complete with horns, so as to suit the 'Kirigakure no Kijin,' the grin under the bandages, and his body was outfitted with regular hidden blades, poison bombs, and various traps.

Akebino Jinin had a metal plate in his forehead, which replaced his hitae-ate, and, like Zabuza, his arm warmers were made into gauntlets, and the underside of his poncho was lined with hidden blades. Axe blades were hidden in his calves and the heels of his feet were incredibly dense metal, imitating his weapon, the Kabutowari.

Kuriarare Kushimaru had his ANBU mask replace his face, the green triangle on the bottom being a panel that hid a small tube that released poison smoke. His shaggy hair was replaced with shinobi wire like Haku's, but his gauntlets weren't turned into gauntlets. Due to his gangly stature, Naruto intended Kushimaru to be one of the faster puppets, so large chunks of metal were detrimental. But his fingers were turned into metal claws with small holes near the tips to string the thread of his Nuibari through, and long hidden blades could pop out of his palms and heels.

Munashi Jinpachi had a multi-setting lens on his eyepatch, capable of seeing heat signatures, chakra sources, and shinobi displacing air should they be using an invisibility technique that disguised the other two. Under the bandages on his head are holes that allowed blade-tipped cables to shoot out, and he had a cannon in his chest that shot explosive note-wielding kunai or whole balls of explosive notes. The beads in his beard were miniature smoke bombs that could be released with a simple pulse of chakra. He wielded the explosive sword Shibuki.

Ringo Ameyuri, the only female of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shu, wielded the twinswords Kiba. Five blades were attached to her back on armatures, and they could channel lightning chakra alongside her swords. A pair of cables could shoot out of her stomach, pulling her towards whatever they hit, or be charged with electricity. The cloth tied around her head was lined with seals that allowed it to be controlled like a second pair of arms and harden into blades for a moment. Hidden blades and poison-laden traps were concealed in her puppet body like the rest.

Suikazan Fuguki was, by far, the largest member of the Swordsmen, and the oddest-looking; he reminded Naruto of a puffer fish, which seemed reasonable, considering his name literally meant 'puffer fish demon.' His hair didn't get the shinobi wire treatment, since it was familiar with entering a hardened state, as Fuguki was known for launching his hair in needles, or extending it in tendrils to impale his enemies. Bereft of his sword, Samehada, his puppet body would have to make do with built-in weapons until Naruto retrieved it. From his palms, long, flexible blades could pop out, formed by several small blades, imitating the shredding capabilities of his sword. The green markings on his cheeks were now panels that hid high-pressure nozzles that shot water concentrated enough to cut steel. From his 'statuesque' body, various large circular saw blades would pop out, rotating around the puppet on armatures, and his baggy pants had seals lining the insides that would release large clouds of poisonous mist as the puppet flew around.

Remaking the feared swordsmen into his tools was damn fun, but Naruto needed to get going. Sealing up all his puppets, Naruto headed back inside and looked around for Anko. Finding her, he informed the new Hebi Sennin about his journey for the missing half of the Juubi in Shadow Country, having to convince her to let him go and promising to still take her out on the date he mentioned. After a long hug and searing kiss, Naruto left Tazuna's house and headed west.

Upon entering Hi no Kuni, he cut straight through the land, evading any Konoha shinobi so as to minimize distractions, riding inside his Sanbi puppet and having it roll across the land to cut down on time, bowling over several trees and even, from some screams, rolling over a bandit or two. He entered River Country and steered clear of Amegakure, having to suffer a sandstorm in Kaze no Kuni; joy. Into the Sanbi!

Okay, horrible idea; sand was leaking through the crevices of his puppet and getting to him anyway. Jumping out and using a wind technique to purge his puppet of sand and seal it, he stuck to the northern border of Kaze until he could enter Ishi no Kuni. A minor stretch of land that achieved independence from Tsuchi no Kuni, Stone Country was nothing more than a large tourist attraction; it also bordered Shadow Country.

Not much was known about Shadow Country, other than it seemed to have a perpetual black fog, making it seem like it had neverending nights. There were no shinobi villages, only small merchant towns near the eastern border for quick access to Ishi no Kuni, but they tended to hire shinobi working as mercenaries now and then. Outside of the towns was a virtual wasteland, sparse trees and wildlife, but there was something; something old.

In the warring periods before chakra, during the reign of Otsutsuki Kaguya, a small village of people journeyed to the center of the country and built a temple to the god-like female, worshiping her as a dark goddess. When Kaguya, fused with the Shinjuu to form the Juubi, was sealed away, the cult broke apart, their idol struck down like a mortal.

It seemed like poetic irony that the dark half of the Ten Tails would be there.

However, instead of an abandoned temple, in the center of Shadow Country stood the Juubi, severely different from the form Naruto was familiar with when he and his tenant first met.

A bulbous head with horn-like protrusions around it, the massive eye he recognized in the center of the face, a large mouth on the left side of the head, a large ear on the right. It had an emaciated chest, the ribs visible, thin limbs, a stump for a left arm, a conch shell-like growth on its back covered in spikes, and ten tails ending in stubby hands writhing behind it.

"Well… shit." Naruto said, looking high up at it as it seemed to ignore his presence until he finished speaking. It snapped its head down to face him and turned so its mouth faced him and it began to charge a Bijuudama. "Fuck!" Flashing his Juubigan, he used a technique he had been working on. "Rinbo: Hengoku!"

Suddenly, the Juubi was forced back as if punched, and the technique was released skyward, damaging nothing. This technique allowed Naruto to conjure five invisible shadows of himself that could act of their own will, aiding him in combat. He could only maintain the technique for five minutes, so he'd have to make the most of it.

The shadows floated in the air where they hit the Juubi and watched as it stepped forward again and began swinging its single arm around, the shadows actively dodging. Normally, no one could see or sense the shadows save for Naruto, but as essentially the other half of his power, the Juubi could see them, and since it was absolutely pure chakra, its attacks were more potent than the sage chakra of the Rikudou Sennin, and thus it could hit them.

Floating high into the air with gravity manipulation, canceling his shadows, Naruto burst with chakra for another technique he didn't have a chance to even train with due to its presence, so it was incredibly taxing on his chakra, but as the Juubi jinchuriki, he could still maintain it for quite a while.

A cascade of crimson energy flew from his body in all directions, forming a gargantuan humanoid form, geta-clad feet slamming into the ground below, Naruto had activated a technique never seen in the shinobi world since the clans wars between the Uchiha and Senju. At such close proximity to the remainder of his power, Naruto was feeling an influx of knowledge pervade his mind, imbuing him with the knowledge of techniques foreign to him, but it flowed as if it were always a part of him. In his mind, he saw the warring figures of the sons of the Rikudou Sennin, Asura and Indra, and the great powers they wielded, a sage-chakra avatar and the first Perfect Susanoo.

Naruto's Perfect Susanoo was a combination of his and Indra's, the tengu mask bearing a hole in the chin and three on either side through the 'mouth', two spikes forming on each of the sculpted brows, a pentagonal gem in the forehead flanked by the horns preserved from Naruto's previous Susanoo form, a mane of hair bursting from behind the mask. Around its neck were nine tomoe beads instead of six, each seeming to be embedded in its 'flesh,' a circle of seals around each with a black line stretching from them across its body. The lines lead to various spots on its body, including its stomach, the tops of its feet and hands, its shoulders, and its shoulder blades, all ending in a black circle. The Perfect Susanoo was garbed in a haori, baggy pants, and geta, large plated armor on its shoulders forming two pairs of arms besides its primary limbs. The frontmost hands of the extra arms held orbs of Amaterasu, the rearmost were raised back and out, nine black orbs floating behind the Perfect Susanoo, all six hands bearing a mouth on their palms.

Raising his right hand, Naruto's Perfect Susanoo followed his movements and raised its own hand, bringing it near one of the Gudodama to grab it, immediately crushing it and creating a double-helix sword, the Sword of Nunoboko. With a mighty swing, the Susanoo separated one of the Yin-Juubi's tails from its body, which, upon hitting the ground, turned into a massive tree and small accompanying field of grass and flowers; a side effect of contact with the pure nature chakra of the Truth-Seeking Balls. The technically-evil demon merely regrew the tail, unfeeling of its loss, and brought its one good arm up, aiming its fingers at Naruto, and shot a hail of massive wooden spikes. Bringing the sword up and collapsing it into a large shield made of strips, blocking the spikes, returning the shield to the comparatively-smaller black orb, which floated back to join its brethren in the ring behind Naruto's Perfect Susanoo. Immediately, the nine orbs froze in midair and flew around it like a swarm of gnats, then shot right into the numerous pools of sage chakra throughout the Susanoo, soon setting themselves inside them. Not missing a beat, the pool in the center of its chest spewed its malleable black chakra, which rose to above the Susanoo's left shoulder, and contorted into an imitation of the Ichibi's head, which roared and shot a nature chakra-empowered Renkudan right at the Juubi, causing its body to jerk back and to the side. The head then twisted into the large limb of Shukaku and shot forward, slamming right into the transformed Shinjuu's emaciated chest, knocking it down. The demon retaliated by using its powerful youki to grind the ground around it into sand and shot several spears at the limb and the Susanoo attached to it. Normally, the sage/nature chakra of the Gudodama would negate all ninjutsu, but as the technical equal to it, the Juubi's attacks carried through, tearing apart the limb but further damage was blocked as the liquified Gudodama burst from its right shoulder and turned into a giant, black copy of the Sanbi's spiked shell, protecting Naruto and his Susanoo.

Retaliating with the same technique, the spiked shell exploded into a copy of the Sanbi rolled up, a massive spiked boulder heading for the Juubi, which was too large and slow to dodge it, taking the full brunt of the technique to its hide and receiving several gashes on its body. With a roar, a massive shockwave threw the offending object off of it, and it collapsed into a Gudodama and returned to its home in Naruto's Susanoo.

The Susanoo clapped its hands together and conjured the swirl-shaped shield from its original form, which rotated and grew two extensions, becoming a bow. The Susanoo put its flattened hand at the front of it and quickly slid it back, creating an arrow of the same flaming chakra that made up its own form. Drawing back on the bowstring of chakra, the Susanoo fired its arrow, but Naruto's bleeding left eye stayed on it. "Enton: Susanoo Kagutsuchi!" Catching the arrow on fire, Naruto also provided a complete salvo of black flame-arrows, the main one curving upwards just as it nicked the Juubi , tearing a chunk out of its shoulder before heading skyward, the obsidian arrows of flames trailing behind it making contact with the Juubi, engulfing it in a massive tornado of black flames, the crimson energy of Naruto's chakra peeking through here and there in it; as the tornado roared and injured the Juubi, the skyward initial arrow came down, piercing right through the eye of the storm and causing a great explosion of fire and chakra. Even after that, the beast of origin remained, only slight burns across its body, which were quickly healing, as well as the chunk missing from its shoulder. Roaring at Naruto, the Juubi sent its numerous tails forward to slam into Naruto's technique. The black pool around his Susanoo's stomach burst with its contents and became the head of the Nibi, the heterochromatic cat roaring before spewing its azure flames at the incoming limbs, pushing several back and even reducing a few of their tips to ash. Granted, the Juubi regenerated them, but it was progress.

As the Juubi roared and allowed its tails to heal, Naruto created a Blood Clone, sending it out of his Susanoo to begin a technique privy to him by his continued exposure to his other half. While the original Naruto was currently utilizing the techniques of Indra, his Perfect Susanoo, the clone will use the power of Asura, his Avatar.

Bursting with equally crimson chakra, the clone was encased in a humanoid figure as large as the Susanoo. A trio of heads joined at their backs, each bearing a kitsune-like mask whose ears swept back, creating a six-point crown on its head, its six blank eyes were over a pair of whisker-like marks on either cheek, joined at their backs to their counterparts. It wore a necklace of Gudodama, a black line stretching down its body, flanked by rib-like strips, to a target-like symbol on its stomach, similar to the seal on Naruto's, which branched down its legs, more of those symbols on the tops of its boot-like feet. It had six arms joined at the shoulders, the target branching down each arm to the tops of the hands and the palms. Between its frontmost hands, it held another Gudodama, but the other four held their own above their palms. From its back flowed a cape that split into ten tails, each bearing a black strip down their centers.

With a mental command, both the original and his clone sprang into action, lunging at the Juubi, the Susanoo bearing the mouths on all its palms, clay forming from its ambient chakra and being chewed by them, six Gudodama joining them all. Bursting from the palms came, compared to the average adult, six massive dragons – C2 dragons, specifically – with black spikes down their spines, claws, teeth, and tails, showing they bore the black chakra within, all flying towards the Juubi.

As the Susanoo attacked, the Avatar raised the rearmost pair of orbs to the sky, flattening them into discs and throwing them, slicing off five of the Juubi's tails as well as its one arm just before the C2 dragons impacted. After slicing through it, they compacted into orbs and returned to the Avatar. After the explosion, it was silent for a bit as the pair of them stared into the cloud of smoke and dust.

"GRLLLLLLLLLLLGHHH!"

A massive distorted roar rocked the earth, the accompanying shockwave blowing the cloud away, revealing the transformed Juubi. It was currently much more muscular, having regrown its left arm, and it stood on its hind legs. The horns on its head grew longer, and the conch shell shape on its back became more of a bulb, and shrunk slightly. It clapped its hands together as if in prayer, but uttered its disturbing roar again, a beam of the main five elements spinning together bursting from its mouth and splitting to hit both its opponents.

Susanoo reverted its bow to a shield and blocked accordingly, while the Avatar had one of its Gudodama pierce through its hand and widen into a shield. While they slid back on their feet from the force, no permanent damage was sustained; dropping their shields, the Avatar lunged at the Susanoo, Naruto desiring to finish this before the Juubi could evolve again, or before the fight got out of hand and more noticeable. The thick darkness of Shadow Country thankfully kept the fight viewable from anyone just outside of the merchant villages to the east, but if it escalated, curious shinobi might happen upon them, so this needed to end.

The Susanoo stumbled as the Avatar seeped into its body, the Blood Clone dispersing into a pool that was soon evaporated by the heat of the concentrated chakra. It's 'flesh' under the armor and clothes turned a few shades brighter as it began to change; the armor of the extra four arms disappeared, as ten spike-like appendages grew from its back, five above and below the giant Juubigan on its back. Its mask split at the mouth, framing the glowing face of the Avatar underneath, its eyes turning blank, amongst the sea of its chakra-flesh, as the horns remained on its forehead, splitting the top of the mask when it slid up, the tengu nose serving as a third horn, and the bottom of the mask becoming something of a high collar for it. The overall build of the Susanoo slimmed down slightly, the sleeves of its haori bursting off and becoming replaced with armor similar to the plates protecting the tails, molded in swirl patterns just below the elbows, segmented down the forearms, and forming guards on the tops of the hands, leaving its shoulders bare. The armor at its hips was replaced with similar plates over the hakama it had, and it now wore clawed greaves. The flame-like chakra of its 'flesh' flickered to life on the shoulders under the armor, and the extra arms of the Avatar returned, equally armored as the originals. The black markings from the Avatar manifested over the cloth, stretching across its body like a skeleton under the armor. The Gudodama remained behind it, and the twin orbs of Amaterasu flames from the Susanoo floated to the sides of its shoulders. This was the Kanseitai - Juubi Susanoo. (Complete Body - Ten-Tails He with the ability to help by all means)

With a roar, the Juubi struck, massive spikes of wood erupting from the ground and attempting to gore Naruto through his Susanoo, tornados and lightning storms forming around them almost instantly. With a curse, Naruto dodged the spikes and had his Juubi Susanoo run straight for his opponent, its arms engulfed in molten rock as he channeled the Yonbi's chakra, rearing back all its right fists as his Susanoo jumped over one of its sweeping tails. Punching it right in the face resulted in a volcanic explosion on contact, a shockwave of fire and lava engulfing the Juubi's body, but Naruto was protected, as it was his technique. Even as it began to heal from the damage, Naruto continued the assault, clapping his hands together inside the Susanoo, independent from its mirroring movements, ten massive wooden hands bursting from the ground and reaching for the Juubi like vengeful undead, holding it in place as Naruto transformed his six Gudodama into massive black spikes that he then stabbed into its body, the weapons long enough to stab into the ground behind the Juubi, before blue tribal markings spread across his hands; the natural curse markings of the Ichibi. Grabbing its face and body, Naruto attempted to seal the Juubi into himself and absorb the remainder of his divine chakra, only for a roar-divined shockwave to blow his arms back and shatter his Gudodama spikes and wooden hands, freeing the Juubi and allowing it to swing its newly muscular arms into Naruto's Susanoo's chest, throwing him away from it.

Landing on its feet and sliding back for a bit, Naruto's Juubi Susanoo gathered a large amount of chakra and channeled it into five of its Gudodama, which flew in front of it and transformed into the silhouettes of people, miniscule in comparison to the titans around them.

"Godai Gudodama Bunshin!" (Five Elements Truth-Seeking Ball Clones) About five tails of chakra went into this technique, and hopefully they would be enough to hold the Juubi's attention while he thought of a plan to seal it away, conversing with his own Juubi-chan for ideas.

The central clone raised its hand towards the Juubi, and a massive torrent of flames burst from its palm, the clone to its left joining in by blasting a large funnel of wind alongside its attack, fusing the elements and burning the reincarnated Shinju alive, the beast healing at the same rate it was burned, chunks of its flesh breaking off after being instantly reduced to ash. The clone farthest to the left thrust its clenched fingers forward, a massive storm of lightning bursting from its fingertips and dancing across the Juubi's body, to clone on the opposite end pointing the fingers of its left hand at the beast, drills of water bursting from the surface and growing exponentially as they flew towards it, digging into its skin and enhancing the damage of the lightning. The remaining clone, to the left of the fire one, shot towards the earth, and a massive shockwave of stone and mud burst from its impact across the ground, turning into large jagged rocks that dug into the legs and tails of the Juubi, rooting it in place and gouging huge chunks of its flesh out, not letting it regenerate due to the occupied space.

The four clones took positions around the Juubi and began their barrage of attacks. Massive dragon-heads of flame rained upon the Juubi as comparitively diminutive fireballs crashed into its body, only to explode into massive walls of flame on contact, concentrated beams of fire stabbing straight through various parts of its body. Several massive water dragons burst from the second clones body, barraging the Juubi as high-pressure jets of water sliced through its body, and the earth below, with ease, massive water bullets slamming into it with great concussive force. Spears and lances of lightning shot out, flanked by spheres of electricity and pure lightning striking down from the heavens. Huge blades and bullets of wind raced towards the writhing Juubi, tornadoes and wind dragons coming from the sky above to strike the origin of bijuu and chakra. Massive spears of stone shot up from the ground, goring the Juubi as boulders shot from the earth as if thrown, maws of stone forming and clamping down on the bound limbs.

If Naruto had the time, he'd marvel at the magnitude of techniques used to attack the Juubi, who only roared and howled as it was attacked, healing from everything and attempting to strike at the flies around it, but this was neither the time nor the place. He and Juubi-chan had created a plan to seal the Yin half of her back into him, separating the soul from its chakra so she wouldn't be converted back into the mindless beast his current opponent appeared to be. Now it was time to act on it.

Slamming the hands of his Juubi Susanoo into the ground, Naruto manipulated the chakra-receiver generating portion of his Rinnegan to form in the ground under the Juubi, shooting upwards in a forest of obsidian spikes that pierced its limbs, stringing them up and keeping them straight out, Naruto approached the bound Juubi as his special clones returned to their Gudodama form and floated behind him, resting the left hand of his Susanoo on its chest and raising the right as a Rasengan began to form in it. The plan was to use the soul-ripping power of his Ningendou to tear out the Juubi's soul and seal it into the puppet, which he unsealed and had resting on the ground below them, and sealing its chakra with a special Rasengan. Naruto finally got a grip on its soul and pulled, but was met with heavy resistance, as was expected. Bringing in the two other left arms to aid in pulling the soul, as well as the chakra flaring on the tips of the spikes on its back forming chakra arms that also aided him, Naruto finally gained progress in tearing the Yin-Juubi's soul out, as the Rasengan in his Susanoo's hand began to grow and form blue tribal markings, the natural curse marks of the Ichibi.

In the split second after Naruto pulled the Juubi's soul out, Naruto thrust the Rasengan into the eye of the Juubi. "Jiton: Fuinjutsu: Chou Oodama Rasengan!" (Magnet Release: Sealing Technique: Ultra Big Ball Spiralling Sphere) The markings exploded across the Juubi's form, its limb collapsing into its body as it began to turn into pure chakra, Naruto's Susanoo melting away in its wake, flying towards him as he used what remained of the Susanoo to thrust the wayward soul into his puppet below him before he was hit with the force of a meteor, his Juubi Susanoo falling apart as his concentration wavered.

A chaotic rumble shook the earth as a vacuum formed with the force of the Juubi's chakra entering his body. As Naruto's body began to change, the Yang half of the Juubi absorbed the chakra of her other half, noticing the flares of chakra erupting from the puppets body and striking the earth, before it calmed down and went still, Gudodama forming around and orbiting it.

With an explosion of light and chakra, Naruto went quiet as he arose from the cloud of smoke kicked up from the emissions. Half-lidded, stark white eyes stared at nothing, a third eye on his forehead bearing the Rinne Sharinganpattern; his whisker marks turned into thin black markings, like the one's seen on Asura's Avatar, and his hair grew to below his shoulder blades. His clothes changed to a white robe with a high collar and six magatama designs around it, markings similar to the Avatar's across his back to his shoulders and down his arms and stomach, seemingly a part of the elbow-length gloves and black pants he wore that reached halfway down his shins, hanging loosely above the shinobi sandals he wore. The Gudodama floated behind him, and he held a double-sided shakujo in his right hand, the top a full circle with rings hanging off it, the bottom only part of a full ring. With a flash of chakra, the horns, third eye, Gudodama, and shakujo disappeared, leaving the normal Naruto clad in the clothing he acquired in the process. Looking to the east, a spiritually-drained Naruto spied the chakra signatures of several shinobi coming his way; apparently those merchant villages weren't so innocent, after all. He sealed the puppet and turned into a cloud of smoke, glowing embers dancing within, and took his leave to the east, flying above the group unnoticed.

Flying over the eastern border of Kage no Kuni and the whole of Ishi, Naruto flew through Fire Country and touched down about a mile from Konoha; the sensor barrier always visible to his eyes would detect a cloud of smoke bearing chakra reserves the size of the country easily, so he would walk through the gate. As he walked down the path, Naruto went over his new changes with Juubi. 'So is everything okay inside me? No complications?' He mentally asked.

Somehow picturing the Juubi shaking her head with a smile, Naruto sighed in relief. "Not a thing is wrong. Due to your status as a hanyou beforehand, your body was already accustomed to my chakra, and it merely needed to compensate for the influx, which was easy enough. Now, as for anything you should be aware of in terms of gaining the rest of my power; you will probably be able to use more elements like the unorthodox ones you created, and you should have the Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu, as well as the requisite Shikotsumyaku, and, as my completed jinchuriki, you are now privy to Rikudou Senjutsu, which increases your already enhanced strength, speed, stamina, and regeneration, as well as allows you to use senjutsu, create chakra arms, the Gudodama as you are now, instead of having to use your Susanoo or Avatar, and you can now... fly." She explained, ending on a flat note at the idea of Naruto flying.

'...I'll rave about that when I'm not tired.' Naruto surprised her with his response. Partially solidifying his upper body and looking down at his hands, Naruto channeled chakra to his bones and - yep, there are some bone spikes growing out of his palms. Interesting. 'Anything else?' He asked, retracting them and reverting to smoke.

Getting over her shock, the Juubi completed her examination of Naruto's new abilities. "Just that you now have complete control over the five basic elements and Yin-Yang Release, but you'll still need to work on the sub-elements. You also still need to train in control each tail, but thankfully this fusion didn't fuck up your control like the hanyou process, so we don't need to start over again."

'Thank fuck; I don't think I'd have the patience for that.' Naruto sighed in relief. With that thought concluded, he headed towards Konoha, avoiding any encounters and patrolling shinobi, thinking over something most would think incredibly minor: naming the puppet that held the Juubi's soul.

Hagoromo. Yeah, that'd work.

Before he could ponder on it more, he spied the gates of Konoha in the distance. Divebombing towards the ground and reforming in the cloud of smoke, Naruto walked the rest of the way towards the gates.

"Name and purpose for entering Konoha, please." Kotetsu droned while flipping through some magazine while Izumo looked attentive and serious.

"Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto; returning from side business after mission to Nami no Kuni with Team 7." Naruto informed them.

Both Chuunin's eyes widened, and Kotetsu's head rose to stare at Naruto. "Naruto?!" They yelled indignantly.

"That's what I said." Naruto replied flatly; while he understood their confusion, the yelling was unnecessary, as it exacerbated his headache that was returning from the fatigue of fighting the Juubi.

"What's up with your clothes and hair? Where have you been; your team came two days ago!" Izumo informed him.

"Like I said, side business. I might explain if Jii-san demands it. Can I just go in?" Naruto asked tiredly.

Still shocked, Izumo nodded and held the clipboard up for Naruto to sign in. After he did, he walked through the gate and into Konoha, ignoring the glares and confused stares as he made his way to the Hokage Tower. Walking in and ignoring the Sandaime's bitchy secretary, Naruto quickly scanned the Hokage's office for life signs other than him; finding none, he knocked on the door to allow the old man time to hide his Icha Icha – that's right, he knows – then went in, closing the door behind himself. "Hey Jii-san." Naruto greeted tiredly before he flopped into one of the comfy chairs.

"Naruto-kun, where've you been?! Your team and I have been worried sick!" Hiruzen exclaimed, after getting over his shock at the boys changes.

Raising his hand for silence, Naruto channeled chakra to the same areas that flashed earlier, his third eye, horns, Gudodama, and shakujo returning. "I kinda just fought the fucking Juubi." He said simply.

Sarutobi's mouth hung open for a good five minutes as he stared at Naruto in shock, taking in the features that made Naruto look like the Rikudou Sennin, according to legends and illustrations. He watched as Naruto unsealed the Saw-Staff he made in Nami and look between it and his Gudodama. Having an idea, Naruto brought one of them to his special weapon and had it be assimilated; the ball became a blob that engulfed the weapon and shrunk back to its normal state before shifting into a staff, a large circle forming on one end that spun, becoming a saw blade. It shrunk back to a ball and returned to the circle behind him and he had the shakujo float above his lap before he got comfortable again in the chair.

Hiruzen soon snapped out of it, resting his face in his palms and rubbing his temples to stave off the impending headache. "Naruto-kun… what am I going to do with you?" He asked through his hands.

"Never try to change me 'cause you know it'll grey whatever not-grey hair you have left?" Naruto responded.

"That would probably be for the best." Hiruzen responded through his hands. After a bit, he let his hands fall. "Are there any witnesses? Did anyone see you fight it?" He asked.

"No; it was in the middle of Kage no Kuni, far from the merchant settlements, and the ambient darkness hid us from a distance. I left before the sparse shinobi they sent found me; all they'll find is a crater and a missing shrine." Nauto assuaged his worries.

"Very well…" Sarutobi sighed tiredly. "If that is all, you may take your leave. I recommend searching for your team; they were rather worried when you didn't show up with them two days ago. They are in your team's training field right now. But please return tomorrow morning to completely explain to me what happened." He informed Naruto.

Nodding, Naruto stood to his feet, sealing away his features, except the shakujo since it didn't really allude to anything of a secretive nature, just weird, and headed towards their training field.

"Doton: Chikyuumage!" (Earth Release: Earth-Bending) Large pillars of stone shot from the earth under Hinata's feet, but her reflexes allowed her to jump out of the way. The pillars followed her movements, forcing her to keep jumping, until she found herself surrounded by floating boulders that then honed in on her position, boxing her in.

"Kaiten!" Spinning on her foot and pouring chakra from her tenketsu, Hinata blocked the boulders from crushing her. From within the ensuing dust cloud, she struck back. "Suiton: Teppodama!" Three large water projectiles flew towards Shikamaru, who did not move from his spot, his hands frozen in the Rat seal.

"Kage no Yari." (Shadow Spear) From the black pool around him arose three tendrils that sharpened and shot forward like bullets, piercing and dispersing the water bullets and continuing towards Hinata.

"Suiton: Suijinheki!" Thrusting her hands forward, a water wall rose up in front of her; normally this would do nothing, but utilizing her secondary Wind affinity and some intense training and helpful hints from Naruto, she turned parts of her water wall into large ice plates that diverted the shadows from hitting her.

Shikamaru merely smirked as the spikes were forced to go around Hinata and miss her, stabbing into the ground. He didn't dispel them; rather, as expected of his intelligence, he rolled with it, sending fairly large masses of chakra down them for another technique. "Kage Gijin no Jutsu: Reisu!" (Human Shadow Simulation Technique: Wraith) Parts of the tendrils bulged as humanoid figures burst from them, brandishing clawed fingers and wisp-like lower bodies, and lunged at Hinata from all around her.

Only momentarily surprised, Hinata spun on her heel and met the Wraith's halfway, utilizing her version of the Juuken as she fought them off.

This was the scene Naruto happened upon when he dropped from the trees, appearing beside Anko as she watched her genin train.

"I see Shikamaru has developed new shadow techniques; impressive." Naruto commented, getting the attention of his entire team, causing the two genin to freeze when they recognized the voice and Anko to whip around to face him, wide-eyed.

"Naruto?!" Everyone yelled, even Shikamaru. Hinata and Anko were immediately within his personal space while Shikamaru just calmly stood up and walked over to him.

"Where have you been?!" Anko demanded.

Shikamaru, however, noticed the shakujo and asked accordingly. "And what's with the staff?" He asked, snapping Anko and Hinata out of their states of shock to stare at him at the seemingly stupid question when he should be worrying about where he was.

"Now that is quite a story!" Naruto started, floating away from the girls and falling into a lotus sitting position, floating in midair as the shakujo floated over his lap again. He then proceeded to explain to them his parting of ways from Nami no Kuni, traveling across the land to the barren Kage no Kuni and fighting the Yin half of the Juubi and sealing it within himself and a puppet specifically designed to hold it. With the completion of the Juubi's youki came a change that transformed Naruto into the image of its previous vessel, the Rikudou Sennin, but at the same time, it also partially changed him into a being similar to the Sennin's mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya, thus explained the Byakugan he now had and the Ash Bone ancestor of the Shikotsumyaku; he also explained and demonstrated the Gudodama. After their brains were sufficiently revived from the overload of information, they just said 'fuck it' and chalked it up to 'Naruto stuff.'

Hinata, ever curious and interested in Naruto's puppets, asked him to show them the vessel for the Juubi's Yin half. Nodding, Naruto unsealed Hagoromo, explaining he made it when he left Tazuna's house to train, naming it after the Rikudou Sennin, the information of his name privy to Naruto from the Juubi, also doing away with the large swords he gave it; it just didn't suit the puppet and it besmirched the legacy of the Rikudou Sennin. He gave them to Gilgamesh. He also mentioned that scroll Juubi-chan brought him and what it entailed; to say they were shocked to find he now had six of the strongest generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and five of their swords, would be an understatement. And the macabre transformation of Zabuza's apprentice, Haku, was indeed terrifying and interesting.

Getting away from that, they asked what he gained from completing the Juubi, and he vaguely informed them of the new sub-elements he was privy to in this new state, Rikudou Senjutsu, and the All-Killing Ash Bones, as well as its Shikotsumyaku descendant. And unfortunately, the influx of knowledge from the Juubi, which he was already getting during the fight, gave him a bunch of new puppet ideas. Joy.

At Anko's behest, Naruto would meet them here in two days to resume team-training. After a parting of ways, he utilized a Storm Release technique he had been working on for some time; bursting into swirling beams of light, Naruto sped towards his apartment, leaving fading trails of light while people saw a human-shaped figure outlined with lasers, passing through people harmlessly and jumping over any obstacles without disturbing anything.

Arriving at his door with a sudden jerk, he mentally agreed with Juubi-chan's advice that doing that as he was now was nearly dangerous, as his vision was thrown into blurs and swirls, his stomach attempting to escape through his mouth. Shakily reaching for his key, only to find his new attire lacked it, Naruto followed Juubi's mental directions to utilize a technique from the Rikudou Sennin's mother, opening a portal to his side that, when walked through, dumped him right on his bed, his shakujo dispersing once it left his hand.

So relieved was he to be in his bed that he almost immediately passed out, his very being so drained, he didn't even dream or enter his mindscape to converse with Juubi.

(The next morning)

Team 7 was given a week off after the debacle that was their first C-rank mission, so they were free to do their own things, especially for Naruto to sleep in, something he never did, but that battle was so tiring, even for him, that it was warranted.

Once he awoke sometime around noon, he did his morning routines, putting on some rather normal clothes, only for his new state after becoming the jinchuriki of a complete Juubi to combine with his clothes into a new design, something he was going for in the first place.

He now wore a white long-sleeved, high-collared shirt with six red magatama around the collar and ends of the sleeves, the symbol of the Juubigan on his back. Under it, he wore a black muscle shirt with the golden lines connected to the circle-within-a-circle on his stomach and shoulders. He wore a red sash around his waist, turned more to the right, over a navy blue hakama, and black shinobi sandals. Since the Juubigan on his back only took up the upper portion, there was space to stitch on several horizontal loops under it to hold his puppet scrolls, his 'normal' and Human puppets, his bijuu, and the Swordsmen puppets, and a pair of seals on the bottom of his wrists that held all his kunai and shuriken.

Newly dressed, Naruto used his portal-creating technique to exit his apartment, and appear at his regular training spot in the Forest of Death, grabbing the first scroll on his back and unfurling it to a specific spot and swiping his blood-drenched thumb across the seal, unsealing what lied within.

From the absolutely massive cloud of smoke stood the new Predaking, what once was old now new, and so much better. With a wind seal scrawled within its maw powering the cataclysmic roar it gave off, the cloud was blasted away , revealing the wood and metal masterpiece. A maw of small knives acting as teeth framed with insectoid arm-like appendages down its cheeks, a large horn sweeping back between amber puppet eyes, in front of a mane of wide blades hiding five bladed cables that acted as dreads when inactive, leading to a wide neck of wooden rings connected with underlying wire with a spine of metal blades down the back, continuing down the spine of the torso, which laid between two massive wings of wooden frames and axe blades giving them form, a crossbow mechanism at the apex of joints, measuring the width of five men, side-by-side, arms outstretched. The constructed beasts chest was wide and armored, filled with a trap chamber, similar to Executioner, spring-loaded blades on the ribs that could act as a cage, and the blades down the spine could extend on wires and be manipulated. The shoulders of the beast were collapsed drone-like mini-puppets that could detach and launch their numerous spikes like bullets. Its forelimbs ending in claws with daggers for fingers, much like its hind legs, but the hips were large enough to house cylindrical pods that let out a flammable poison. Its tail was a long wooden track with various axe blades attached, side-by-side, leading to the stinger-like tail of three hook-like blades on a mounting unit. Its forearms and shins contained hidden spikes that could slide out, and the armor on its torso was lined with earth seals to strengthen it.

Naruto marveled at his creation, once again confirming this decision was the correct choice to change the five Predacons into one puppet just as fearsome as their combined form. He spent the next half hour training in his chakra string usage on the puppet, bringing it down to one finger, yet able to activate any and all seals and mechanisms with it. Satisfied with that, Naruto controlled the puppet to lay down like a sleeping dragon, letting gravity keep it like that as he turned his attention elsewhere. Summoning 500 clones, thankful his control wasn't messed up, he split them off into 5 groups to experiment with combining the elements and Yin and Yang Release.

Thinking back to when he turned into smoke, one group of clones recalled the 'feeling' Naruto had when he utilized that element and attempted to reproduce it, all agreeing that it involved Fire Release. Mentioning fire very shallowly reminded some clones of Dust Release, a Kekkei Tota devised of three elements; it was literally the only one of its kind. Time to fix that.

Taking the equation from Dust Release and replacing one element, they decided to throw out fire; it was getting too much attention already. So... lightning? Let's see.

After about an hour, the Smoke Release clones discovered it was created by combining Scorch Release and Yin Release, the form-creating aspect of the latter turning Scorch into Smoke; now came getting the ratio and 'feeling' right to make the chakra somewhat 'on-demand' like any other elemental chakra. With the reveal of using Yin Release, the third group of clones decided to try their hand at using Yang Release in a new element or two.

After about two hours of screwing around with elements and shoving in some Yang Release, the clones managed to create two elements, both Kekkei Tota. Also, the clones experimenting with switching an element in Dust Release came to a result.

Using winds pressure to compress lightning's vibration and using Yang Release to radiate the ensuing energy, they created Douton. (Pulse Release) Taking the removal properties of wind and water and overwhelming it with Yang Release, destabalizing the Yin of the chosen target and causing it to collapse, Shoton. (Erase Release) And the first group, switching fire in Dust Release for something else, they used lightning to heat the earth and wind to cool it, creating Haton. (Glass Release); the non-crystaline structure of glass would allow it to be sharper than any metal blade, so it had its uses.

The fourth and fifth groups worked on the various elements already in Naruto's repertoire, creating several new theorized jutsu, but not fully fleshed-out yet. After all that fun, Naruto had some clones set about finishing Choumei, the Nanabi puppet half-finished before he left his team to fight the Yin-Juubi. He also set another group aside to create more copies of the skeleton-like puppet, which he decided to name Architect, and finished the odd weapons he devised in Nami no Kuni, both in finalizing the schematics, and physically making them. As his clones did all that, he isolated himself to learn under Juubi-chan.

'So about that flying...' Naruto mentally commented, drawing a sweatdrop and a giggle from his tenant.

"I knew you didn't forget about that..." She commented good-naturedly. "But yes, Rikudou Senjutsu will allow you to fly. It's not a special chakra or technique, you just... do, so I can't really help you in that regard. But I can inform you about the several techniques Kaguya used." Juubi informed him.

Raising a brow in confusion, Naruto divided his attention between speaking with her and attempting to fly. 'Why not something the RIkudou Sennin used? He founded the Ninshu, so he could have a ton of techniques.' He reasoned.

"The thing about Hagoromo is that, since he founded the Ninshu, and thus the concept of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and all denominations thereof, he did not use what you know as jutsu. He technically had unnamed techniques shinobi interpret as jutsu. Plus, to my knowledge, he only fought with his all once, against me, and I wasn't really in a position to observe his techniques. Kaguya, however, used various techniques I can convey to you, like that portal-creating technique I gave you the instructions for, and the All-Killing Ash Bones. She had a few techniques that could bend the very fabric of reality, transporting her opponents to a dimension of her devising, of which there are several, and the ultimate taijutsu move, which I believe was strong enough to be about to destroy your Complete Body - Susanoo." She lectured further, hoping to convey the gravity of Naruto's potential, and the strength of just a single person from the time before shinobi.

All attempts to fly were put on hold as Naruto listened, his eyes growing progressively wider at each fact. Before long, his eyes were shut with the wide grin on his face. 'Then that means I got a lot to live up to, and even more to surpass that! So hit me with everything you got, Juubi-chan!' Naruto asked of her, his grin becoming infectious as the reformed Juubi smiled in returning, laughing happily at his personality and determination.

"Very well, then lets start on getting you to fly; it's, by far, the easiest thing to start with." She started, giving Naruto pointers as he got back to attempt to give gravity the finger.

Oh this is going to get crazy...

End Ch. 11

OKAY! Okay! okay... 'Kay. I had fun writing the fight with the Juubi, in case you couldn't tell, but the section after it took a massive rewrite, that I feel was for the better. It at least made more sense than Naruto suddenly using these new elements without prior knowledge or experience, and using them on some stupid bandits. Also, hope you like what I did with the Ninja Swordsmen and Haku; I had a tough time outfitting each of them, but Haku was fun. Just imagine seeing something like that in a dark alley. So overall, tell me what you think of it.

Ja ne!
