Chapter 63

The giant black fist was extremely fast, splitting the skies as it aimed to destroy the world. The ninja felt like they were about to die when they were teleported into the skies before the attack landed.

With such range and speed, the Uzumaki were forced to intercept the attack. It was stronger than all the attacks before, but the Fuinjutsu masters pulled through with sheer skill.

The fist ended up in the skies through a portal, but suddenly it appeared beneath them. The surprise attack would have been successful if not for the Fuinjutsu seals carved on the battlefield that allowed the Uzumaki clan members to react on time.

Turning into a beast of terror made of green lightning, Nagare clashed with the giant fist with a giant claw of his own.

"Foolish, don't you know who we are?" Nagare was surprised that the enemy would dare touch them as his claw clashed against the fist and seals started to spread from the sparks generated.

"What are those scribbles supposed to be doing, they are so ticklish." The ultimate warrior laughed as his flame like eyes showed pure enjoyment.

Even though Nagare was laid back, he felt the disrespect and it annoyed him.

"Tell me your name before I show the might of the Uzumaki clan."

"Me, I am the King of the World. My name is Luffy, and I want to enjoy this fight more so give it all you got." Luffy increased the power behind his fist as jets seemed to appear from them, to give it more force before suddenly disappearing again.

The fist came from the side, but this time it was a flame wall in the way and it caused Luffy to scream in pain. However, it felt like he was making a mockery of them with his tone and actions. He looked like a joker acting hurt.

"Hey, no fair. You didn't announce your participation." Luffy pouted before laughing heartily again as he felt the music of his heart and world around him responded. The ground turned to rubber, making everyone loose their balance as it made them bounce.

"Here I come!" With those words, thousands of fists appeared from under them to beat them up only to be stopped by the barrier.

Luffy crashed into the barrier like an egg on a pan before smiling from ear to ear as he covered the whole barrier with his body.

Nagare and Anna realized that it was dangerous to allow him to interact with the barrier or their bodies. Without holding back, they activated their full strength.

Their power surpassed what Mikoto had used since they were using boosts from 100 members, giving them the power to arrive on a planetary scale for a temporary time period. They would lose such power for a time, but it didn't matter since the enemy was that dangerous.

With the release of their power, they had also informed the rest and the whole Uzumaki army arrived on the door step of Kumo.

It caused the heavy atmosphere to become unbearable for the weak beings.

Just like the Red and Green Kings, the Gold King, the Blue King and even the Silver King appeared on the battlefield while Toshiro took command personally from the headquarters.

All the resources of the Uzumaki clan were focused on the battlefield except for the Black King also known as the Shinigami's Right Hand.

Unlike the ninja who only had little advantage from group tactics, the Uzumaki clan had mastered group tactics and with each member their powers elevated to another level.

With all five Kings in place and Toshiro in command, they were at their strongest and only under Hotaru could they have been stronger.

Toshiro was the master of group combat and made the best use of his people in a fight. Usually he would be on the battlefield to lead the battle personally, but this time his heart had other worries that occupied him away from his passion of a good fight.

Regardless, it was a nightmare in flesh for the ninja world as they lay their eyes on the real potential of the Uzumaki clan.

The Kings standing side by side while their followers were in rows behind them, and even though they didn't know much about Fuinjutsu they could see the marvelous art bringing miracles to reality. The whole world was under their feet and the power of the clan soared to heights unimaginable, dreams of the shinobi.

If Naruto had fought them without the equipment from the Sage, he would have a high chance of losing if they stopped him from using his strongest moves. They only lost their chance once Naruto increased in power from his visit to the Land of Immortals.

However, even in the face of despair the Shinobi endured as their hope had been reignited by the appearance of their saviors.

The results of their sacrifices and dedication, the Earth Otsutsuki.

"Okay, this party is getting hot for little old me. How about you guys come down here?" Luffy looked behind him in the air. He was the Ultimate weapon of Kumo and Iwa, but he wasn't alone in the fight. Behind him were many others who had participated and survived the procedure. They had been unable to fully unlock the powers, but for now they could make up for it in numbers.

First were the First generation of Kage, A the First Raikage, Ishikawa the first Tsuchikage and Byakuren the first Mizukage. These were the three components that made up Luffy alongside Madara and Hashirama plus Naruto and Naruto's Six Path chakra.

After the ancients, there were the current Kage. Onoki and Ay who looked to have become younger and more energetic than ever as they had reached a state they could proudly call their peak.

Following the Kage were the top of Iwa, Mizu and Kumo. These were Darui of the black Lightning, Akaniu the living magma and Aokiji The Ice age. These represented the very top of the Villages and were just behind their leaders in power, but now the existence of the village was at stake so their lives were also put to the test once again.

Finally there were the followers of Naruto, Orochi and his four devas. The four devas are the chosen of Orochi whom he had blessed with his powers.

These four devas were Goenitz of the wildly blowing wind, Shermie the berserk lightning, Yashiro of the parched earth and finally the strongest of them Chris of the flames of destiny.

These were his loyal followers that had stayed with him for decades and would put their lives down for him. As such they had gone through it even though Orochi didn't want it to happen. Just like others he had wanted to leave behind his children, so they may continue his legacy.

Regardless, their power was in direct correlation with Orochi and since his power increased their power increased. With their powers also increasing to a new level, they further enhanced Orochi. With these four commanding the elements, Orochi was unable to use those powers unless he took their lives.

Following Orochi were Akuma, Zoro and Inari. These three had major changes to their physiques. Akuma had the least change with his glowing eyes and hair along with his gray skin. Onn the other hand, Zoro had become a demon with three heads and six arms. His strenght5 increased with the amount of swords he wielded, so it was the ideal form Zoro envisioned.

Finally there was Inari, he had bonded with his wolf armor made by Tenten and actually transformed into a wolf of light and water. He was fully armed with weapons of all kinds to make up for his lower power level because of his normal background.

With all these new Otsutsuki, even though they were just prototype without power comparable to Kaguya, the huge number made them look like a real threat to the enemy. Each one was around Juubidara's power level while Luffy was stronger than Kaguya by a small amount because of the chakra given by Naruto being used for his operation.

With all these powerful beings fighting the world would end without a doubt,as such Gaia and Hades decided to intervene along with Izanami and Hestia. They made sure that the damage never left the region of the battlefield and made the battlefield invincible for the mortals. They also made sure to create a barrier around the planet so that the battle didn't attract outside entities.

Hestia and Gaia wished to intervene further, just like Izanami but they couldn't because of their laws. Right now humanity was not on the level where the Immortals would intervene to avoid the loss of power, which was the case for fights among immortals.

On the other hand, Hades saw this as a learning chance for Naruto. He was definitely saddened for his protege for what was about to take place, but the young one needed to be tested as his role in life was just so vast that it could never suit a normal human.

With the blessing of the immortals, the greatest fight in the history of humanity took place in which just a single clan threatened the natural order of the world.

Just like the five Kings, the ninja side also divided their attention to a specific target.

A, Ishikawa, Byakuren, Ay, Onoki and Kurotsuchi as one team who were given the task of fighting Silver King.

Darui, Akainu, Aokiji and Mei as one team were given the task of fighting the Green King.

Gaara, Smoker and the three giant Mechs as one team were given the task of holding back the Red King while Luffy finished the Gold King.

Orochi, the four devas and Storm as one team were given the task of fighting the Blue King.

Inari, Zoro, Akuma and Luffy as one team were given the task of quickly finishing up the Gold King to break the balance of the battle.

It all looked so simple, but none of them had the guarantee of finishing their tasks even though all of them held the utmost confidence in their skills. Everyone among the ninja looked tense and serious except for Luffy, who seemed to be enjoying every moment of his short life. He was a clone with no knowledge and taught everything within few weeks, so everything was new to him. He was just like a child taking in the world for the first time.

However, unlike their thoughts, the game was not so simple as the Uzumaki clan had yet to show them their real power. The real power of a team, a clan was truly shown when all the groups were boosted by each other. It was a multiplier effect of at least five times their real strength and with Toshiro at the head, it became even higher as he micromanaged the whole setup.

Regardless, the Uzumaki clan did split up into five groups to combat the five groups of the Shinobi as it was enough.

------------------------------------

The Green King was the weakest of the group after the Replacement Red King and he had used up a lot of his power fighting the first resistance and than the surprise attack from Luffy. However, the whole clan on his side had made his power grow to a new stage.

Regardless, the scene was not something he liked. Nagare wished that they could have ended the battle before the ninja could put up a resistance. Now there was a risk that he could lose friends and family. Though, he also thought that this was better since he didn't like the idea of killing an enemy that could never put up a resistance.

"Hey, how about you guys take the easy way out and not make this painful for yourselves." Nagare stood in place as a being of green lightning that had small black markings covering it. His tone was laid back as the power and his leader gave him the confidence to stand tall.

"I will give you a better option, why don't you turn around and go back home." Aokiji responded in a chill manner and he really wished they didn't have to make things difficult.

"Hmmm, a nice offer but I am not convinced."

"Aokiji, stop engaging the fool and focus on killing all these filthy creatures." On the other hand, Akainu was not so chill and he was burning with rage after knowing how many of his people had died. Other than the deaths, the fact that someone dared to casually go against the order infuriated him as Akainu was someone that lived with the rules, and he held his Land in high regard.

"Please don't fight, Mister Akainu. My dear Aokiji was just setting up the mood since it felt so disturbingly heavy. And, we are also not keen on postponing the battle. So, let us engage and witness your new abilities." Mei stepped before the two rivals started fighting each other again.

Mei had already fused with the six tails, Saiken, turning into a being made of acidic slime. She was a slime girl with sage mode and she was operating as the leader of the team.

Akainu didn't think much of Mei as she was below him in power and experience, plus her nation had been an enemy of Iwa.

However, his master had commanded and he shall obey.

"I understand." Akainu turned towards the enemy who had most of his attention and started with the show.

He was blessed with magma and now with the Otsutsuki transformation, he could fully turn into magma and could turn up the heat to the level of the sun.

There were the obvious stats boost and resistance boost, but Akainu was now fully in control of this element. However, just like the others he was also missing the horns and the Rinnegan eyes. This showed that they had yet to fully awaken to their new Otsutsuki genes and didn't have any unique abilities available to them yet.

Just like how Kaguya had the ability to travel through dimensions, Infinite Tsukiyomi and the Ash bones etc. Regardless, the boost was enough for the ninja to actually put up a fight.

Without a word, Akainu caused the land beneath his enemy to erupt into fiery hell. However, the enemy wasn't affected as expected. The protective barrier covered them completely.

"We shouldn't hold back with such enemies." Akainu shared his opinion and went full power. Using his strongest technique from the get go, he created a giant magma golem that stood hundred meters tall. Usually he could only create around 20 to 30 meters, but with the power increase it was easy to create it to such a height and power.

"I hope you are right. I really wish to go back home and watch some TV." Aokiji muttered as he also followed up with a Frost Giant that caused absolute zero to everything it touched just like Akainu's giant touch contained the heat of the sun.

Darui had been silently observing everything and once these two decided, he also decided to use his most powerful technique.

His fastest technique was called Laser Circus and his strongest Technique was Black Lightning Liger. He could also use a Lightning Golem, but he wasn't proficient in the technique.

So, he decided to use Laser Circus that had been enhanced. Unlike the tiny beams of old, Darui called giant light beams from space and the number was in the hundreds.

While the men decided for such flashy attacks, Mei decided to support them with acid spears that could disintegrate anything on touch.

Nagare's group didn't react to the threats and had absolute confidence in their King, and he delivered as they desired.

Thousands of lightning chains appeared in the sky to restrict the giants while Darui and Mei's attack was endured by the barrier that had been coated by green lightning.

Through the chains, Nagare's debuff seals traveled to weaken the targets.

"I am about to get serious." Nagare muttered confidently as he snapped his finger and the area around them was covered by a storm.

"Take defensive measures!" Mei communicated just in case as it was clear that something dangerous was coming.

Her senses were warning her of it, as such she created an acid dome before releasing mist that was corrosive and drained energy.

The others also followed through and took defensive measures as lightning bolts rained down from the skies. They numbered greatly and none could see an end to them.

Each bolt carried great power but its main purpose was to weaken and trap the targets. `Understanding the enemies tactic, the group realized that they had to fight while being rained down by such an attack.

As such, it came down to two choices. They could defend and attack at the same time or they could go on an all out offence.

Or, they could finally use some proper team work and distribute the tasks.

Being the strongest of the bunch, Mei decided to take the role of the defender.

Acid World

Mei focused her new prowess as a slime girl, turning the area around her into an acidic landscape where none could survive. This boosted her prowess and made it difficult for the enemies by continuously sapping their energy.

With Mei's Acid world in place, the other three were free from the lightning barrage that continued to rain down.

Regardless, they didn't have much time since the lightning storm was taxing to block and Nagare had already started to activate another ability.

Just like Mei's domain, Nagare activated his Lightning Domain which caused the storm to increase in size and pillars of lightning to appear around his group.

His Fuinjutsu seals started to crawl all over the region, causing massive debuffs and draining them of energy to increase its power.

Sussanoo

Just like the Uchiha's Sussanoo, Nagare created his own Lord of Storms from the large Lightning symbol representing his groups power.

The large warrior of lightning stood at only slightly taller than the norm, but it contained such boundless energy that it felt extremely oppressive.

"Let's end this painlessly." Nagare commanded for the attack and the warrior moved with instantaneous speed as it teleported in front of the target.

It targeted Akainu first as Nagare disliked his demeanor. With a slash from the lightning blade, the warrior of lava was done.

Akainu's body quickly tried to adapt and allowed him to react by putting his lava fist in the path, but he was still too weak to stop the attack for even a second. His body was torn apart by the flashing blade while seals covered him up to drain him of everything, not allowing him a chance of survival.

Before some one could even make a noise, the blade was on Darui and just like that his body was scattered.

The same followed with Aokiji, before finally arriving at Mei. Her slime form combined with her danger sense allowed her to survive for mere seconds before the Susanoo showed his palm, shooting a large beam that obliterated the slime form.

Nagare observed the results of his strongest move with no real satisfaction as he couldn't feel the hatred that he was supposed to feel for these people. They were just like him, not some evil monsters deserving of death.

"They could have at least showed some disgusting qualities. Sigh… I just feel like a villain now." Nagare brushed his hair as he looked towards his enemies for one last time.

They should have been dead, but one by one they stood up.

Akainu felt his memories flash through him as he was once again reminded of his passion. His desire for an absolute justice. Justice that doesn't change according to time and people involved.

Rules that applied to everyone equally, a world where people didn't have to suffer his fate. It was fate worse than death.

"Mikan" Akainu muttered as his body reformed as lava. He remembered his daughter who had been dealt unjustly by the Land of Earth. Executed for the sin of another, an unjust end that he could never forget and the tragic death of his wife that followed.

"I will not let this injustice stand!" Akainu roared as the land around him turned to lava and collected into his body, making him grow in size.

He was not the only one that went through a transformation forced by the encounter with death. The killing blow had forced the Otsutsuki transformation to complete at a fast rate and allowed the users to unlock unique traits. Though it was still incomplete, so they didn't have the abilities like Kaguya's ash bones and such.

Aokiji always looked carefree but just like Akainu he had suffered a tragic fate as he had seen his whole clan disappear, leaving him as the sole survivor of the Yuki clan. He had barely passed through a civil war to fight in the Ninja war and now he was once again forced to fight for the survival of the world in a few weeks.

He just felt like ending his life. He felt tired, and death's embrace was calling for him. It felt so attractive that he was about to give in, when he remembered that there was still one reason to live.

"I am such a terrible father, Ryogi." Aokiji remembered his adopted son in his last moments which gave him the motivation to transform into an ice man.

Following that was Darui, he didn't have a tragic background but his loyalty to his Boss and his desire to live towards a better future was strong enough to bring him from the jaws of death.

"I can't leave the boss alone with such dangerous enemies. I will at least bring you down with me." Darui announced as his body had turned to black lightning.

Finally, Mei was the only one that had actually survived because of her slime form had worked perfectly with the Sage mode. Until her sage mode ran out, she was impossible to kill for her current enemy.

Without making any long speeches, all four of them lashed out.

Aokiji and Akainu unleashed their attacks together and decided to work together, forming a giant spinning blade of ice and lava that would shave away at the barrier while Darui charged his lightning into a lance to pierce through the enemy.

The trio's chakra had gone through a qualitative transformation allowing them to ignore mortal energy attacks and given them better resistance against normal chakra.

It gave them an advantage against Nagare.

Mei sent out an army of acid beasts while launching thousands of acid arrows and even causing the land beneath them to turn to an acid pit.

Nagare felt fear in his heart for a moment as he saw the ferocity of these warriors. He had never participated in such a fight that he unconsciously stepped backwards.

'I could die. We could die if we continue to fight.' Nagare thought as he saw the team come to life after getting killed. They were like Hotaru, immortal.

Nagare wasn't the only one as the others were also shaken by the revival, which caused their power to weaken.

The Green King reacted without control and commanded his Sussanoo to kill them again. However, just like before they reformed.

"Why won't you die?!… Fine, you asked for this." Nagare wished to end this painlessly but they forced him to use other methods.

"Okay, let's see how long can you last with this pain." Nagare had absolute control of lightning, it also meant that he could control the electric signals in the body.

With that, he targeted the team and realized that none of them had a body that required such human functions. This caused his worries to increase and decreased the morale of his team, allowing Darui to break through his barrier.

Darui's charged black lightning lance sped through like a beam of light, burning a line through the Green army and killing at least 30% of the group. Seeing his comrades die because of his leadership, Nagare succumbed to his rage.

The sussanoo combined with him and Nagare continued to cut the team down continuously. He didn't care about the surroundings and just slashed.
