Chapter 35

Leaving the heroes to absorb and analyze his words, Naruto focused on meditating purely as he had taken care of his duties for the day.

He had brought his original body to the depth of the planet, near the core, where he had a made a training area for his personal use. It was a step taken after taking into account the feeling from the planet and the safety that the core region provided him.

Focusing on his power and utilizing the sage mode at full capacity, Naruto finally saw his current level. The clone never had all of his chakra, so the sage mode and the new enhancement weren't at full capacity.

His powers had increased dramatically but he needed to develop his chakra control further or he would be limited to the current form. Controlling chakra at such nano scale was extremely taxing and almost impossible during battle.

His mind wandered towards the Rinnegan, which would allow him easy access to such ability but he held back his desire. Naruto didn't want to force Konan into such a position and he would wait as promised. And, he wanted to see if he could find some other solution to the problem.

Learning about programming language, Naruto associated it with fuinjutsu seals and theorized that he could make a structure within his body that would help in his objective. Instead of consciously operating the technique, Naruto could create a system that would automatically distribute the chakra according to his programming to the relevant positions.

Naruto believed that it was the right path, so he let his clone focus on that topic while he handled something more important. He decided to meet the Kyuubi and finally make him submit. The ascendance was more than enough to overpower the giant beast of apocalypse.

Naruto was extremely confident about his victory as he knew the Kyuubi's stats and they were not comparable anymore.

Without further hesitation, Naruto appeared in his soul land where the Kyuubi was sealed. It was a nice place, filled with majesty.

There was greenery everywhere, large waterfalls, beautiful lakes and enormous mountains. It was an ideal place to relax and one could even see the moon in the sky.

The Kyuubi was sealed behind a large gate that separated him from the side Naruto stood.

"I didn't expect you to come so soon. Maybe, I overestimated your intelligence." Kurama muttered as he lay on the ground and opened one of his giant eyes to see Naruto standing outside his cage.

"I also didn't think we would meet so soon, but life is unexpected. So, I am here to fight for real this time." Naruto smiled as he walked through the bars.

In the soul land, he did have his armor but it didn't provide the real benefits like the real world. In the soul land, it was just him and the big angry fox.

With Naruto's arrogant entry, Kurama flared up as a large chakra wave crashed into Naruto. Kurama stood up to his full height and he looked like a mountain while Naruto wasn't even the size of his pupil.

Kurama stood at 300 meter height while his tails were another 300 meters. His appearance was truly daunting for the weak hearted, and it was a first for Naruto as well.

Naruto easily stood ground against the chakra wave and looked up towards Kurama.

"We will be the perfect partners, so let it became reality." Naruto had a huge smile on his face as he uttered those words and held his giant Double battle axe, which was big as Naruto's body without taking into account the handle.

Naruto swung it with desire to harm his foe, a testing shot. Huge amounts of wind energy gathered around the axe, and Naruto swung it at full force.

This was his new power and according to expectation, it would atleast leave a heavy injury on the creature.

However, reality was often disappointing and expectations would usually crash.

The giant wind blade didn't even touch Kurama as a red barrier blocked the attack without any problem. The barrier was close to the skin and made of hexagonal structural style that easily endured the impact and spread it apart.

Kurama smiled, showing his vicious fangs, "Did you think that was enough? Maggot, I am better than you. I am better than everyone. What you can do, I can do better!"

With that declaration, Naruto was almost drowned by blood red chakra hands.

Naruto teleported away from the flood with his teleportation (Hiraishin) ability without using any marking as it didn't need any physical marking with Sage mode and allowed him to teleport freely to any place that was within his range of senses. Following that he retaliated with a stronger move.

Giant Rasengan Bomb

Rasengan was an attack where chakra formed like a ball on his hand forming from chakra strings that revolved in different directions. It was an attack that destroyed the foe with the power of intense movement and could easily crave through mountains, if the user had enough chakra to supply it.

Naruto made it using his new style on the cellular stage and made it extra big, meaning he put huge amount of chakra into the attack. The attack was built from a cellular stage and was bigger than a three storey house.

The attack blasted through the red hands and smashed into the red barrier. Both forces struggled intensely, before Kurama swung his tail through the attack and destroyed it.

What followed that was a death beam that almost destroyed Naruto. The red beam of horrifying power tore through the land like paper and easily reached the core of the planet, and broke to the other side.

Naruto only survived because of his automatic teleportation ability as nothing could be faster than nature and he was connected to it.

Looking at the impact, Naruto finally realized what had happened.

"Hahahaha, I love you so much." Naruto couldn't contain his excitement and laughed with joy. Such power, such majesty and such intelligence, he wanted all of it.

There was no denying it. Kurama had adapted according to Naruto's knowledge. His new level of strength was the result of applying the same principal as Naruto.

Cellular stage

Meaning, there was no way that Naruto could overpower him. Naruto with sage mode was half of Kurama, purely from energy perspective, and Kurama had energy equal to a small planet/ half of earth.

Naruto was lower in stats and his only advantage was teleportation, and unavoidable attacks through usage of teleportation.

But, he wasn't worried. He was happier with such a performance, because it meant that Kurama was extremely smart and knew how to adapt.

Naruto's happiness shocked Kurama, as he had expected to see fear and awe. "You are totally unhinged, Naruto. How can you celebrate this moment? I am an impossible adversity for you now. Do you not realize that? Or, are you lost in a delusion like the rest of your kind?"

Kurama spoke harshly as his tails moved through the air, showing his agitation.

"Why wouldn't I? You are my future partner, so I would always wish for you to become stronger. I believe that we will work together, this is a fact. I don't fear anyone, and if I have to battle continuously with you then I will. You will wear down eventually." Naruto replied honestly as there was no point lying to Kurama, he could tell when someone was lying.

"You are just impossible." Kurama released a heavy breath, though he felt touch by those words. Without any hesitation, he continued his assault. His tails extended towards Naruto with impressive speed from all directions.

With the new power up, Kurama had gone from being around lightning speed to faster than light and his physical strength was beyond planet level.

Naruto teleported to the sky and didn't retreat. He was happy to fight and develop his skills or even win against Kurama. Arriving in the sky, Naruto created a barrier to block Kurama's attack instead of dodging it.

Kurama had been charging a Bijuu Bomb while attacking with the tails to conceal it, knowing that Naruto would teleport, and unleashed it once Naruto appeared again.

The energy ball of doom looked extremely menacing with its black and dark red coloring, traveled without any hindrance and caused environmental changes with its immense power and speed. Even though it was the soul land, Naruto had programmed it to emulate what would happen in reality so that he would understand the impact of his moves since he couldn't go around testing his powers in the real world.

The bijuu laser that Kurama had unleashed at the start had almost caused the planet to collapse, but it luckily didn't hit the core. However, there was an impact from the hole that went from the surface to the other side.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruption and such were taking place from that while the air was burning because of the bijuu bomb.

Within an instant, it collided with Naruto's golden hexagonal barrier. Naruto had made it with countless layers unlike Kurama. It had ten layers that were stacked on to each other and the barrier was continually moving to brush of the attacks.

The world ending move was stronger than the bijuu laser and it broke through the first five layers instantly, only slowing down on the sixth layer.

Naruto continued to pour his energy into the barrier while charging his attack. With his efforts, Naruto was able to slow it down and put more distance between them while it erupted and expanded in size to swallow him whole. It grew from the size of a hill to the size of a whole mountain range or a small town. The explosion sent shockwaves across the world along with energy waves that displaced the clouds and destroyed everything within a countries range while shaking the whole planet.

Naruto was almost eaten up and Kurama looked like he was unleashing a stronger version so he released one of Ultimate Moves.

"The Time of Birth has Come, I am the Master of All!" Naruto declared his desire and his ambition.

Anti-Life Judgment of Light

At a first glance, it looks like a ring of light that encircles the Earth. In reality, it was an aggregation of 100,000 beams of light, cast over the satellite orbit and with a size close if not equal to that of North America. Each one of these lines carried extreme damage values comparable to a city eraser atleast. The band of light was made up of all Senjutsu energy. Thus, there was nothing on the surface of the Earth that surpassed the heat value of this attack. It was for this reason that it was ranked an Anti-World move. It was a move that Naruto had learned after learning sage mode, which allowed him the ability to control light and other elementals freely.

Originally, the move was a lot weaker and was only strong enough to destroy a large city or a small country. But, after the recent power up it had gone through an immense change and allowed it to reach a new level.

The countless light beams hit the bijuu bomb, and destroyed what was left after Naruto's struggle with it. 50% of the beams were negated from the collision with the attack while the rest hit Kurama, who unleashed a charged bijuu laser that hit the light beams.

The whole sky was covered in explosions and had turned fiery red from the burning atmosphere. The charged beam cancelled Naruto's attack and travelled from the planet, hitting the moon and penetrating through it.

Kurama ending up cutting the moon in half as he moved the beam to catch Naruto, while Naruto used his earth manipulation to pull the broken pieces of the moon towards Kurama.

The enhanced pieces of the moon rained down on the planet, and within nano seconds the whole moon had been pulled towards Kurama.

The pieces moved at light speeds and the result was obvious. The planet was destroyed with the initial bombardment as the rocks were enhanced by Senjutsu and didn't lose mass. Kurama wasn't damaged by the bombardment as he blocked them with his barrier and started running towards Naruto while the planet exploded.

He unleashed small charged shots and destroyed the large fragments before releasing rapid fire beams towards Naruto that were controlled. There was no other way to capture Naruto as he kept on teleporting.

On the other hand, Naruto decided to use another one of his ultimate moves that focused on something other than physical destruction. It focused on spiritual destruction and used his mastery of Yin style, Genjutsu. It had been very strong from the start but after learning from the new world it had been enhanced. The criminals had experiences with Zatanna, Martian Manhunter and other beings that utilized mental powers, and that experience from his victims gave him a boost.

"My friend, experience the entire World's Evil!" With those ambitious words, the world around Kurama changed. He was surrounded by darkness that tried to imprint hell upon his brain by showing him unseeable darkness, ugliness that couldn't be acknowledged, and all the crimes of the people in the world that make them want to run away from it all. Those trapped with the darkness would eat themselves to death from pain and hatred, and they would be swallowed by it like the painted space. Avoiding such a curse and the very concept of blocking it was nearly impossible according to what Naruto envisioned for the final stage.

But for now, it still did a great job and it started interacting with Kurama's darkness. It continued to devour him and made it impossible to leave the dark domain that had covered him up.

Naruto could feel his pain, regrets and rage. It was a dick move, but it was a move that could ensure victory. He couldn't show mercy during battle.

"NARUTO!" Kurama roared with a howl of despair and flaming rage as he broke out of the dark zone with an explosion of energy that spread around him to push away the disgusting shadows.

There was no sanity in that gaze. Kurama had let the rage shelter his heart from the pain and he started fighting like a wild beast.

The wild beast crashed into the reformed moon and caused it shatter from the powerful impact and it started to create chakra bombs that only floated in space. Even with rage, Kurama still acted strategically though it had lessened because of the rage clouding him.

Naruto found it easier to dodge the wild beast and focused on his real bloodline ability, the adamantine chains.

The golden chains appeared out of portals and captured Kurama's limbs while being connected to Naruto's hand.

These chains were extremely powerful and were further continuously enforced by Naruto's power. Making it worse for the victim, the chains had the ability to suppress energy.

The suppression made Kurama weaker as it disrupted his chakra control. Cellular stage was already hard for Naruto and he was tiny in size, while Kurama was enormous in physical and chakra size.

Kurama continued to roar and struggle against the chains, almost breaking them from the effort. However, Naruto didn't wait for him to get free and used the opportunity to harm him.

Focusing energy above his hand, Naruto designed a titanic lance made from all the elements. He gathered the power of all elements and made then work together, not weaken each other, for a powerful impact.

Naruto pointed towards Kurama and it moved.

The titanic lance started spinning and flew from a vast distance, increasing its speed as it travelled and even increasing in size.

It crashed into Kurama, who continued to struggle against the chain and resist the attack. The lance pierced into Kurama and dragged him towards the reformed earth, and they crashed into the land of ice. Kurama's large body destroyed the icy mountains and crashed into the frozen lake, displacing the water. He was pinned down by the elemental lance into the icy depths while Naruto appeared above the water where snow fell on top of his skin tight chakra barrier.

"Have you regained your mind, friend? Or, do you need more?" Naruto asked generously as he stood on the water and looked down towards his best friend who was still being attacked by the lance that hadn't stopped spinning.

That one moment of weakness had allowed Naruto to destroy his chakra control and pin him down. Regardless, he had regained his mental capacity after getting hurt.

His body continuously healed but was damaged again and he was having a hard time breaking the lance with his tails.

'I shouldn't have let my anger rule me.' Kurama cursed regretfully as it was also one of the reasons for the downfall of the bijuu and his loss against Madara.

He should have learned from his mistakes and fought like Naruto.

"You have won the battle, Naruto. Do whatever you want." Kurama muttered in a tired tone as he closed his eyes.

Naruto didn't like his weak words and closed the distance between them. He stood on his nose and cancelled his attack.

Unlike Kurama, Naruto was almost finished with his energy reserves as he had used such big attacks with low control. He was only left with 20% of his reserves as he had used 50% with the lance.

"I don't like such a tone from you or any of my friends. I have tried to communicate my intentions countless times, so why can you not understand my desire. Give me a chance, and I will show you a bright world. Look into my heart, do you see any lie. I truly care for you. We have been together since my birth. You were the third person I laid my eyes on. We are tied on a spiritual level. You were created to guide humanity, so why don't you guide me." Naruto put his hand on Kurama and shared his deepest thoughts about him.

There was no lie. Naruto had forgiven Kurama long ago and built a bond with him through their daily banter. Just because Kurama spoke harsh and selfish words, it didn't mean that the beast hadn't saved him countless times selflessly.

He knew that Kurama also held some positive emotions for him. But, he was afraid of fully acknowledging those emotions because he had been betrayed too many times.

Kurama looked into those blue eyes and saw Asura, the son of his father. He also saw The Sage inside of Naruto.

The blue eyes seemed to fluctuate and show a sign of purple, and even the energy seemed to fluctuate.

"I will give you a chance, Naruto. And, I am sorry for everything I have done." Kurama felt his emotions connect with Naruto's and get amplified. It was something he had felt from his father and Asura, and it caused him to tear up remembering the good times and bad times.

"Why are you crying, you big bad fox?"

"You are crying." Kurama replied as he covered his eyes with the tails and pushed away Naruto who was also crying tears of joy and acceptance.

"My name is Kurama."
