Enjoy Reading!
This one came out with a lot of dialogue and not much action. I feel that the next chapter will be fairly slow plot wise. Just the Edo Hokages analyzing the situation, joining up with Team 7 and preparing a plan to counter Madara.
Naruto 678: Our Responsibility
(Thoughts)
{Actions}
[Descriptions]
*Flashbacks*
Minato awakens to see the devastation wrought by the Infinite Tsukuyomi!!
Page 1
[First panel shows Minato standing atop his face on the Hokage monument as he gazes down at his village]
Minato- This is horrible. Is this the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
[Minato looks down at the village he once reigned over as he closes his eye in order to sense the battlefield]
Minato- (This is strange. I wonder how it is that I am not currently under the influence of the genjutsu)
Page 2
[Aerial views of each of the other 4 Great Nations are shown with mummified bodies attached to the Shinju branches]
[The branches are shown wrapped around the Great Naruto Bridge as well as the people of the Wave trapped by the genjutsu]
[The branches are shown even reaching the height of Pain’s tower in the Hidden Rain Village with the people there captured as well]
Page 3
Minato-{senses a familiar chakra in the distance} Is that Naruto!!? I must return to the battlefield. If I’m not affected by this technique then neither will my predecessors be.
[Minato vanishes as he has teleported to the mark he placed on Tobirama]
[Scene switches to Tobirama who has moved next to Hashirama]
Tobirama- Can you sense it brother? The chakra of the people captured by the branches is being drained and is flowing toward a single point.
Hashirama- Yes I’m aware. I wonder what Madara is planning to do with that chakra.
* Hashirama remembers what Madara said about the fruit*
*Madara- But with so many conflicts up in the air, there was a princess who decided it would be in everyone’s best interest if someone attained a god-like power, so she went ahead and consumed the fruit*
Page 4
[Tobirama turns around as he senses another chakra signature moving towards them]
[Hiruzen lands next to the Senju Brothers]
Hiruzen- Tobirama-sensei, Hashirama-sama it is good to see that I am not the only one unaffected by this technique.
Tobirama- It would be best if we get to Sasuke’s location, he has the ability to remove the rods from you brother. I can sense that his chakra pattern has not been disrupted by the genjutsu.
[Tobirama senses something as Minato appears right next to the others]
Tobirama- Fourth. Good you are here as well. We can teleport to the marking I placed on Sasuke before I sent him away.
Page 5
Madara- (It appears that Naruto and Sasuke, their teammates and the Hokages have been unaffected by the Light) No matter I will make sure that they will sleep blissfully in the Eternal Dream.
????- It would be in your best interest to not underestimate those two.
[Scene switches to a white mental plane with Madara shown slightly intrigued by the voice]
[A woman with long hair and horns is shown. Her two Byakugan eyes as well as the 9T Rinnegan are shown revealing her as Kaguya]
Madara- Who are you?
Kaguya- My name is Kaguya Ootsutsuki. I believe you are already aware of my identity.
Page 6
Madara-[surprised] (The mother of the Sage of the Six Paths!!) What exactly is your interest in my plan?
Kaguya- I’m surprised. For a person who was able to come this far, surely you must have figured it out! The very plan you are putting into play was originally mine!
[Madara is shown shocked by this revelation that was not included on the Uchiha Tablet]
Kaguya- Now to the two boys you must battle, I have no doubt that the intervention of my son is responsible for their sudden increase in power and ability.
Madara- (So they must have somehow had contact with Hagoromo while they were on the verge of death)
Kaguya-{continues talking} But the connection between you and them goes even deeper than that. Those two boys, Naruto and Sasuke, are chakra transmigrants of my own grandchildren. You were once such a transmigrant of the eldest, Indra.
Page 7
Madara- So that’s the reason both Sasuke and I share the Straight Tomoe, among other things…
Kaguya- Would you care to venture who the previous transmigrant of the other, Ashura was?
[Madara is shown surprised as he comes to the revelation of that person’s identity]
Kaguya- I have waited a millennium for this moment to arrive. If you should fail in our endeavor, I will be forced take action and complete Mugen Tsukuyomi in your stead.
[Madara narrows his eyes at the implication of Kaguya’s words]
[Scene switches to the 4 Hokages and Team 7]
Page 8
[Sasuke is shown pulling the black rods out of Hashirama’s back]
[Naruto is shown with his palm on Minato, Minato’s arms are shown beginning to regenerate]
Naruto-{grins} There now you look good as new Dad!
Tobirama-{thinks to himself} (So that’s the reason Naruto and Sasuke seemed so similar to my brother and Madara. To think that they were able to meet the very Sage himself)
Hashirama- Thank you young Uchiha. But we must come up with a plan of action.
Page 9
Sasuke- Right now the fate of the entire world is in our hands. We need to figure out a way to bypass this light in order to stand any chance.
[Naruto is shown thinking about what Sasuke says as an idea strikes him]
Naruto-[excited] Ooh! Ooh! I have a plan!
Tobirama- Care to elaborate on said plan?
Naruto-[confused] Elabor.. What!?
Tobirama-[irritated] Just get on with it.
Page 10
Naruto- Remember what the Great Old Man said about ninshuu. He believed that true power lied with bonds of cooperation. If we ya know, connected our chakra, it would be stronger together.
Sasuke- That’s a stupid idea, but it just might be stupid enough to work.
[Naruto and Sasuke both hold out their right and left hands respectively and bring them together]
[They lift up their hands to reveal that the sun and moon marks on their palms have merged]
Page 11
Naruto- Now as soon as the Infinite Tsukuyomi started I felt that all my clones were dispersed. If I send out a clone now, and it is unaffected then we are good to go. Dad?
[Panel shows the marked kunai that previously dropped from Naruto’s mouth]
[Minato touches Naruto’s clone and it vanishes]
[The clone appears at the location and Madara sees it]
Madara- What are they planning?
[The clone looks up at Madara and poofs away]
Naruto-{smiles} It seems that we are good to go.
Page 12
[Naruto places his hand onto Kakashi and Sakura in order to give them the combined chakra that will keep them safe from the light. Kakashi and Sakura are surrounded in a silver aura of energy]
Sasuke- We should have enough chakra to be able to last no more than 15 minutes.
Hashirama- Sasuke do you still have the chakra I gave you for the binding jutsu?
Sasuke- Yes.
Hashirama- You and Naruto will lead the charge with myself as support. My brother and the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] will aide you two with their FTG jutsu. Once Madara is bound by the jutsu, we will attempt to finish him with our most powerful attacks. If we defeat him, the genjutsu will end, and I can use my Mokuton to release all those ensnared.
Page 13
Sasuke- Sakura, Kakashi, Third Hokage, you three will battle the Black Zetsu in control of Obito while we take care of Madara.
Everyone- Understood!
[Sasuke releases his Susanoo to allow everyone out before reforming it to stand upward]
[Hashirama claps his hands together to gather natural energy]
[Naruto claps his hands together to summon his bijuu shroud]
Page 14
[Hashirama summons his Shinsusenju and Naruto is shown looking at it in complete awe]
Naruto- Wow that thing is awesome!! It’s gigantic!
Kurama- Hmph. You wouldn’t think it’s so awesome if you’ve been punched by that thing hundreds of times.
Shukaku- Stupid fox! Why don’t you stop complaining!
Kurama- Why you…!!
Matatabi- Will you two cease your incessant quarreling. Now is not the time.
Son Goku- I agree. We must focus on the enemy at hand.
Page 15
[Naruto is shown in his new orange bijuu avatar with Minato standing next to him within the chakra cloak. It is similar to Ashura’s but has nine tails made out of the chakra of each bijuu. The avatar wears a necklace of 9 Black beads with a single kanji for 1-9 on each one]
[Sasuke is shown within his Perfect Susanoo with Tobirama standing next to him. He is shown wielding two Enton blades with his wings extended]
[Hashirama is shown standing atop the Shinsusenju with his Sage Mode active]
Naruto-{punches his fist to his palm} I said before that I wouldn’t let this world end. Now it’s our responsibility to defeat you. 15 minutes should be more than enough time to kick your ass.
Page 16
Madara- (How were they able to escape from the Infintie Tsukuyomi. No technique in the world surpasses it. No matter I will just have to use force!) It’s time for the final dance to begin, before I put you all to sleep.
[Hiruzen Kakashi and Sakura are shown standing in front of Black Zetsu]
[Scene switches to the scroll left open by Ten-Ten as the headband dropped by Madara sinks into the seal]
[The Crimson Gourd poofs out of the scroll and is shown surrounded by a white glowing aura]
The final battle to determine the fate of the world begins!! And the Six Paths Tools!?
