Chapter 11: Shinobi Past

Spaceship Konoha [Naruto's Person Chambers]...

Naruto was deep in meditation and his mind wondered to a time before he was reincarnated into this galaxy far far away.

Flashback...

Elemental Nation [Forth Ninja War]...

Naruto was fighting with his former teammate to determine the fate of the Shinobi world. The two rivals were using the newly acquired power from the Sage of Six Paths to throw attacks that had enough power to reshape the map.

"Sasuke, stop it! There's no more reason for us to be fighting." Naruto shouted, trying to reason with his rival.

"Shut up, Naruto! As long as you stand in my way, that's enough of a reason to kill you." Sasuke declared, increasing his killing intent as the battle continued.

"I see," Naruto stated as he got deadly serious and his face went into a sad expression before all emotions vanished from his face to Sasuke's shock.

The Uchiha had never seen Naruto make such a face; he wasn't prepared when the blonde rushed at him in his Six Paths Sage Mode and delivered a devastating punch to his stomach, making the dark-haired teen double over.

Sasuke had to dodge the follow-up attack, which was a kick to the head by Naruto. The Uchiha activated his Susanoo to defend against the blonde's relentless attacks.

"So you finally decided to kill me, Naruto," Sasuke shouted as he tried to get under his rival's skin but Naruto ignored what he said and continued attacking the Susanoo with his Resurrection Jutsu until it cracked.

Sasuke began to panic and activated Amaterasu so the black flames would cover his Susanoo, and Naruto would retreat to avoid getting burned. To his shock, his rival kept on attacking, and as his flame started to consume him.

Before Sasuke could move, Naruto broke the Susanoo and landed a powerful punch covered in his rival's black fire, directly on his face, blowing off Sasuke's jaw.

Sasuke, now missing his jaw, can only scream in pain, which comes out as a bloody gurgle. The Uchiha summons his black flames and uses them to burn his injustice.

Naruto watched the damage he had done to Sasuke and nodded in satisfaction. Now the Uchiha outside matched his inside.

The blonde left a burst of Chakra, and the black flames consuming him were sent flying in all directions.

Naruto created hundreds of clones, and each one attacked the Uchiha in rapid succession, not giving him a chance to breathe.

It would be several minutes later when the exhausted Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his chest and saw a hand protruding from his chest.

"Goodbye Sasuke," Naruto stated. "I hope you burn in hell for all of your sins."

Naruto used his wind chakra to cut Sasuke in half, killing the last Uchiha. The blonde acted quickly and removed his rival's eyes, removing his own as he implanted the dojutsu.

It took a minute for his healing factor to connect the Uchiha eyes to himself. The blonde's eyes immediately turned into the Rinnegan, and Naruto brought his hands together and released everyone from the Shinju tree's grasp, ending the Fourth Great Ninja War.

As Sakura and Kakashi came into view, Naruto turned his head away from them. Sakura ran to the dead Uchiha and started to wail in despair. The person she loved was gone. Kakashi had a sad look on his face but didn't say anything.

That was the day Team Seven was disbanded, and all its members would never be the same again. The Sage of Six Paths returned the alive member of Team Seven to their proper dimension, setting Sasuke's body on fire to purify his spirit so that his soul would never be reincarnated again.

Fast Forward...

Mount Myoboku.....

Naruto open his eyes for his meditation position as he looked at Mount Myoboku, the place that had been his home for several years.

After going back to Konoha Naruto didn't feel at home there any more, his friends and Tsunade tried to cheer him up but Sakura had distance herself from him and Kakashi had rejoined Anbu.

The Uzumaki had felt guilt for killing Sasuke but it had to be some the Uchiha had gone insane and had to be put down, the Villagers had started to avoid him out of fear because he had become powerful and feared that he would seek revenge against them for how they treated him as a child.

The made naruto depress because he had done everything he could to be accepted by his home but it seem that it would never be a reality.

The blonde had also turned Hinata down gently because as he was then, he could not bring himself to accept her heartfelt feelings, which resulted in Hinata bursting into tears and running away from him. Kiba and Shino hadn't spoken to him since he broke his teammates' hearts.

Naruto understood why they would stand by Hinata, but it still hurt. He thought that she was also his friend, but he might have been wrong. This caused the blonde to reevaluate his relationships with others and to his sad realization: he doesn't have any real friends; only comrades and teachers.

On the bright side, the Uchiha's dojutsu had been fully assimilated by him, and Tsunade said there should be no side effects.

Naruto requests that the toads complete his sage training as an excuse to get away from the village and to think about his future.

The blonde Uzumaki had mastered sage mode and was now considered an equal by the Great Toad Sage. It was time for him to leave, but he didn't want to go back to Konoha just yet.

"What should I do now," Naruto said to himself, "maybe he should go on a journey like Pervy Sage."

As soon as the idea hit him, he smiled ear to ear with excitement, thinking that he would be back in the field fighting powerful foes and saving the innocent.

"Yep, I'm going to do that," Naruto stated as he ran to tell the Toads (Shima and Fukasaku) about his decision.

Fast Forward...

It had been six months since Naruto left Mount Myoboku and he had come to the frightening realization that Kaguya, the mother of the sage of the Six Paths (aka the rabbit goddess), is not the only Otsutsuki. There are others she fears.

Kaguya was trying to build an army of White Zetsu to combat her clan members when they eventually came looking for her.

Naruto came across this information by traveling to the dimensions that Kaguya used during their battle with the power of his Rinne Sharingan right eye and his Rinnegan left eye.

The blonde sage had found a temple with the symbol of Kaguya and another of the Otsutsuki she was paired with, but the symbol for her partner was badly damaged.

Then there were symbols for other Otsutsukis who had not yet appeared, making Naruto nervous because it took his and Sasuke's combined might to just seal away the rabbit goddess. Now it was just him against a powerful clan of monsters that scared Kaguya.

"It looks like my life is going to get much more interesting from now on," Naruto said as he knew that he would be the only one who would be able to stop the coming threats.

"I'll have to increase my training," Naruto said but oddly enough he felt excited; he knew he had to get stronger to defeat the approaching enemies.

Three Years Later...

Konoha was under the invasion of what looked like puppets, the one responsible was a white-haired young man who had kidnapped the sister of Hinata and stolen her eyes.

Kiba, Hinata's teammate and fiancé was fighting fiercely to protect his mate, but the white-haired man was too strong, with his glowing white eyes.

"Why are you doing all this," Hinata asked the attacker.

"Come with me, Byakugan-princess, and I, Toneri ÅŒtsutsuki, will stop attacking your home." The white-haired man said, ignoring her question.

"Leave Hinata alone! You bastard, or I'll kill you!" Kiba yelled in fury, and he and his trusty canine partner Akamaru attacked.

The attack never landed as a powerful gravitational force threw the duo across the village.

"Kiba-kun," Hinata screamed in worry over the past few years; she had come to love the dog as much as a man, but deep within her heart, she still carried a torch for her first love, Naruto Uzumaki.

Hinata didn't even notice when Toneri appeared in front of her and pushed a ball of chakra into her stomach, rendering her unconscious.

"Now that it's over, I can destroy this piece of shit world for destroying the dreams of my ancestors," Toneri said with venom.

The Otsutsuki teleported to the moon with Hinata leaving behind Konoha, a shadow of what it once was, and a broken-hearted Kiba.

Flashback End...

Naruto came out of his thoughts when he heard Ventress let out a groan; the Sith's mind was not completely destroyed as he had thought but he had fractured it.

"Sigh, I'm going to have to heal her," Naruto said to himself, his apprentice Ashoka had been taking care of the Sith like a mother hen and it was the reason he took the bald-headed woman inside his room so that Ashoka could focus on herself.

"I can understand why my apprentice thinks you can be saved," Naruto said as he went over the Sith's memories he forcefully took from her not too long ago. "You are nothing but a pawn in someone else's game."

Naruto placed his hand on Ventress' bald head and began using the Force to heal her broken mind. He made sure to restrain the woman so she wouldn't try to kill him as soon as she was better.

A moment later, the Sith's lifeless eyes started to brighten, and she blinked in confusion before she remembered the pain the blonde had caused her. She then launched herself at him in fury, but Naruto could see a slight blush on her cheeks.

One of the things Naruto learned about Ventress is that she is a masochist with a submissive streak that comes out when she sees someone as her superior.

Count Dooku could have made Ventress his willing whore, but instead he used her as a disposable weapon.

It was supposed to be a waste, but maybe there's a slight tint of the Dark Side in her words. If she is his, then he will use her body as more than just a weapon. He will warm his bed with her.

"I will kill you, Jedi," Ventress screamed at Naruto, who was annoyed that, although he had saved her, she was still being a bitch.

"Shut up," Naruto stated, backing his hand and sending Ventress to the ground with a backhand.

The sith was shocked and aroused, but she put up a strong front by glaring hatefully at the blonde.

"Untie me, you coward!" Ventress said as she got back on her feet and fought her like a man.

Naruto watched the Sith in amusement; she must have thought he was an idiot. The only way he would release her was if she were dead or no longer a threat.

"I don't think so," Naruto stated as he sent Ventress flying onto his bed with a push, she landed on his bed and looked up at the blonde in defiance.

Naruto could see hate, rage and lust in the Sith's eyes; she must have thought he was going to force himself on her.

"Sorry to disappoint you, Baldy, but I'm not going to have fun with you." Naruto stated jokingly. "But we are going to have a heart-to-heart conversation."

"Screw you, Jedi," was Ventress's answer, but she looked at the blonde, waiting for him to make his next move.
