Naruto: The Puppet King

Naruto: The Puppet King.

Chapter 6.



Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto, or Final Fantasy 7, or any other slight crossover I decide to add. If I did, Sasuke would not be put on a pedestal, Naruto would be the central figure and he would be freaking badass.



A/N: IMPORTANT NOTES AT THE END, READ THEM, IT CONCERNS THE LEMON AND OTHER POINTS!!!!



Naruto sat in his recliner, bored. Kara was currently in his underground Dojo training with her puppets, and he felt the need to do something. Getting an idea, he flicked his finger and activated one of his universal seals on his wall.



Immediately Mokoto comes into the room dressed in a silky black kimono and her ever present smile. She stops in front of him and he says, “suck.”



Lemon Scene.



Mikoto got down on her knees and undid the zippers of Naruto’s pants, she brought out his semi-stiff cock and started to slowly rub it. Soon, when it was hard, she took her tongue and gently licked the head, and swirled her tongue around the head.



Naruto grabbed her head and slowly pulled it down; he stopped when her face reached the end. Taking the hint, Mikoto pulled back and continued to suck nice and hard, creating a perfect vacuum. Naruto moaned as her tongue danced around his shaft as she sucked him hard.



She pulled out and led Naruto to his bedroom, as he sat; she slowly took off her kimono, revealing her large D-cup breasts with the hard erect nipples and her shaved, pink pussy.



Naruto scooted back onto the bed and she climbed on top of him, she slowly lowered herself and both moaned as Naruto’s large penis broke past her pussy lips. Naruto looked closely to see her own cum leaking down his shaft and onto his pelvis as she came lower and used her vagina muscles to squeeze his cock hard.



Naruto moaned as she did so, she leaned forward and pressed her breasts against his chest, he met her halfway and gave her a deep passionate kiss, their tongues swirling around each other’s mouths.



She lifted her pelvis and slammed it down hard onto Naruto’s, making him moan as his cock penetrated into her tight pussy. She continued this rhythm and it wasn’t long till Naruto felt his first load. He pulled her close and penetrated as deep as possible and he unloaded his first large load into her. She moaned as her insides filled up with his hot, white semen. She then stood up and Naruto watched in satisfaction as his cum came pouring out of her pussy, covering his body and the sheets.



She gets down on all fours and Naruto comes up behind her, he spreads apart her cheeks and takes his finger to slowly push it into her ass. Once he’s satisfied, he takes his cock and slowly pushes it inside; breaking apart her entrance as his large cock slowly goes in, filling her up.



He pulls out slightly and pushes back in, slightly rougher. He keeps up the rhythm when she pulls a surprise, she clenches her ass muscles and squeezes his cock so hard that it catches Naruto off guard and unloads another load of his semen in her ass.



Naruto looks at her approvingly and says, “Learning new tricks I see.”



“Yes master.” Came the reply.



He pulls out and watches as her muscles contract by reflex and pushes his cum out, covering her ass and dripping down to her vagina.



He rolls her over and lays her on her back, he leans down and approaches her entrance with his cock, Naruto slowly rubs against her outer walls before pushing back in, earning a moan from the woman.



He starts out rougher and immediately goes for the pounding; he pumps her hard, and fast. He watches as her breasts bounce back and forth at the force he was using. He leans down and sucks the nipple of her left breasts while his hand kneads the right.



He keeps pumping hard and harder until he feels his final load of the evening coming, he quickly pulls out and brings his cock over to her waiting mouth. He pushes it in and she finishes him with a nice, tight, deep throat. Feeling ready Naruto grabs her head and pulls her as close as possible as he unleashes his cum, filling her stomach and her throat, and coming out her nose.



Feeling relieved, Naruto lets her pull back and watches as she whips up the excess cum and swallows it.



A/N: she is programmed to act like an alive woman, which is why she moans.



End scene.



Naruto woke to find that Kara had slipped into bed with him and Mikoto; he smiled at the content look on her face. Suddenly a silent alarm was triggered and he got up to make his way to the security room. Looking at the cameras he found that Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke were standing by his front door. Naruto spoke into the microphone, “what do you want?”



Kakashi looked up at the camera and said, “We need to talk, its important.”



Naruto opened the door and had a ROOT puppet escort them to the living room as he got dressed.



Team 7 felt a little disturbed at having to sit in a middle of the room with half of the ROOT contingent present. When Naruto entered dressed in his bath robe he took a seat in his recliner.



“Ok, you’re all probably wondering why we are here?” said Kakashi.



After receiving nods of confirmation he continued, “I have received special permission from the Hokage to tell you this. What I am about to reveal is an S-class secret, to reveal this information will have you killed on treason, understood?”



Everyone nodded, but Naruto watched Kakashi warily, “Konoha is going to be invaded during the chuunin final exams. According to our spies, Orochimaru, S-class missing-nin has founded the Hidden Sound village, and together with an alliance with Suna, will invade our village during the final exams.”



Everyone looked surprise, though Naruto hid his well.



“What are going to do sensei?” asked Sakura.



Kakashi looked at her and replied, “I will be training both you and Sasuke over the course of the next month. Currently, you Sakura are in the Mid-chuunin range, my goal is to make you low Jounin. Sasuke is currently in the low Jounin range in terms of speed, I intend to make him as fast as me, but with a far more deadly taijutsu style. Naruto is already ANBU level, so he won’t need training, even then he wouldn’t accept it if I offered.”



Everyone looked at Kakashi, Naruto stood and said, “Is that all?”



Sakura looked at Naruto’s apparent lack of concern, “aren’t you concerned?”



Naruto looked at her and bluntly said, “No, the people of this cesspool always seem to survive, even if they deserve to die.”



With that, he left to shower. Sakura looked at Kakashi who simply responded with, “he’s had a hard life.”



When the team left, Naruto returned to Kara to find her awake, “I need to see the Hokage, afterwards we will need to train harder then before.”



Hokage’s office.



When Naruto entered, Sarutobi looked up and asked, “What can I do for you Naruto-kun?”



Naruto pulled out a map of the village and said, “When the enemy invades, I think I can arrange to have a few nasty surprises awaiting them.”



Sarutobi smiled, he was looking forward to this.



Konoha roofs, midnight.



Naruto had just returned from his examination of the walls when he heard a scream, curious, he went to investigate. Upon arriving he found sand crushing the body of a sound-nin. He looked up to see a red haired male with a gourd on his back.



“Sebaku no Gaara, Jinchuuriki of the one-tailed Shukaku. I was wondering when we’d meet.” Said Naruto.



Gaara looked at him and replied, “Uzumaki Naruto, holder of the Nine-tailed kyuubi no Kitsune, puppet master of Konoha. I have heard that you are the most powerful person in the village. I want to taste your blood.”



They continued to stare at one another, until Naruto spoke, “after the invasion, meet me at training field 7, we will fight to the death.”



Gaara nodded, and then asked, “What is the meaning of your existence?”



Naruto replied back, “mine is to become the most powerful puppet user in the world. What is yours?”



Gaara replied, “Mine is to kill until I am killed.”



They nodded at one another before they went their separate ways, Naruto had research to do.



1 month later.



Team 7 had taken their respective positions around the village. Kakashi was in the audience stands to protect the civilians there, Sakura was placed at the hospital area to protect it and to heal injured shinobi. Sasuke was stationed at the Hokage tower, while Naruto took his place by the Hokage’s side in the kage booth.



They had all grown rather well in the past month. Sasuke’s speed and stamina had reached the level of Jounin; he was also quite skilled in his 2 chosen Taijutsu styles, the Uchiha style and the Jujitsu style.



Sakura had developed her medical skills rather well under the watchful eye of the head doctor, and she had developed some rather…freighting genjutsu.



Naruto had trained Kara to handle several puppets at once, she was stationed by the academy and working with Iruka. Yugito was by the front gate, she was responsible for making sure Naruto’s traps went off without a hitch.



Naruto.



Naruto stood to the side of the Hokage watching the matches, most of which proved to be uninteresting.



“I must admit, I am surprised that the mighty leaf village isn’t showing of the last Uchiha.” Commented the Kazekage.



“Yes well, he wasn’t ready for the exam. It’s been decided that he would take the Jounin exam instead at a later date.” Replied the Hokage.



Suddenly, feathers started to fall around the crowd and they started to fall asleep. The kazekage’s bodyguards then ran forward to intercept the incoming ANBU. The Kazekage released an explosive device and took the Hokage hostage.



Naruto jumped back and stared as the Kazekage guards revealed themselves and perform a jutsu to trap everyone inside a large purple box.



Naruto watched as the Kazekage revealed himself as Orochimaru.

He watched as they had a semi proxy battle before disrobing and revealing their battle armor.



“Naruto, I don’t want you to get involved in this!” said Sarutobi.



Sarutobi threw some shruriken and Orochimaru shouted out his technique, “Kuchyose: Edo Tensei!”



Sarutobi and Naruto watched as two wooden coffins rose from the ground. The lids fell off and when the smoke cleared, it revealed the body’s of the first and second Hokage’s. Sarutobi and Naruto watched on in shock as the body’s moved and the coffins fell to the ground. Naruto, after listening Orochimaru gloat about the awesomeness of the technique, decided to do something different.



“Hey, Hebi, I think it’s time I even things up a bit.” He said.



Naruto bit his thumb and rub it over the tattoos on his left arm, in a massive puff of smoke, Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and the ANBU watching saw something that was completely unexpected.



Standing in front of Naruto was the first, second and 4th Hokage’s, (for the remainder of the fight, Orochimaru’s summons will be known as 1st, 2nd, Orochimaru will be spelled out. Naruto’s puppets will be known as Shodaime, Nidaime and Yondaime.)



Everyone looked on in shock as Naruto attached chakra strings to the puppets while Orochimaru inserted the seals into the kages.



Naruto looked at Sarutobi and said, “You deal with Orochimaru, I’ll deal with the kages.”



Sarutobi nodded and took off towards a suddenly pale Orochimaru.



Naruto looked at the two kages as he took off the cloak he was wearing. Underneath the cloak Naruto revealed his new armor. His chest plate looked liked red dragon scales in several layers; under each scale was a seal that had one of several weapons, Senbon, kunai, shruriken. On his forearms were red bracers that could produce chakra swords for a surprise attack.



The 1st and 2nd ran forward to attack and the 2nd leapt onto the top of the roof. As the1st closed in he threw a series of punches, only for the Nidaime to come in and intercept the blows while the shodaime performed a leg sweep, sending the 1st stumbling, the Nidaime came up and landed several hard chakra re-enforced punches sending the 1st back.



The 2nd leapt off the roof and landed behind Naruto, intent on catching the puppet user from behind, as he neared he was intercepted by the Yondaime, who sent a strong punch to the face and a Rasengan to the 2nds gut, sending him landing next to the 1st who was getting back up. Naruto watched as the smoke rose from the hole in his chest.



He watched fascinated and surprised as the hole in the 2nds chest healed up and he stood up ready to fight again. “I am so screwed.” He said.



The 2nd started to perform hand seals, and Naruto recognizing what he was about to do, had the shodai do his own.



“Suiton: Suishouha!”



“Mokuton: tree wall!”



The 2nd launched a massive wave of water at Naruto, while the shodai created wall of trees to block the water.



Elsewhere, Sarutobi and Orochimaru separated and jumped over the water then landed atop its surface before resuming the battle once more.



Once the wave stopped Naruto and his 3 puppets jumped out from behind the tree wall only to find both the 1st and 2nd rushing them.



Quickly doing some quickly hand seals, the shodai and Yondaime sent fire balls at the pair, only for the 2nd to unleash a water wall to protect them.



“Time to take this up a bit.” Said Naruto.



Quickly twitching his fingers, the shodai performed some seals and yelled out, “Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kouton!”



Large tree roots slowly sprang from the ground, one large root smacked into the 2nd, sending him flying into Orochimaru.



Quickly the trees began to fill the purple box, the shodai directing them to entangle the 1st, 2nd, and Orochimaru. He succeeded in catching the second, but Orochimaru simply jumped from branch to branch while the 1st brought out his own roots to counter the shodai’s.



Naruto looked around at the new scenery and thought, ‘well, now things are going to get interesting.’



Hokage tower.



During the beginning of the invasion, Sasuke had quickly set up several traps to catch the enemy off guard. And it worked, for the most part.



About 35 sound-nin came to the tower, under the orders of Orochimaru to take anything of value. Sasuke cursed his luck, while the rest of the ninja were evacuating the civilians and fighting back, he was stuck at the tower. He cursed again.



He hid in the shadows as the leader walked up to the doors, only for Sasuke to pull a wire and have boiled oil fall from an upper floor killing the man instantly. The others instantly went on guard, but Sasuke was already ahead of them. He pulled more wires, each one set up with a dozen kunai. 3 dozen kunai came at the ninjas from all sides, killing half of them. The other half quickly separated and went to look for the attackers. Sasuke de-activated his gravity seals and said a silent prayer for all the extra training.



Flashback.



Sasuke was standing on a cliff with his sensei and Naruto, who decided to show for a few minutes.



“Ok Sasuke, the upcoming battle will decided if you have the potential to kill your brother or not. Of course, if you lose and die, it wouldn’t matter, but still. I have decided to increase your gravity weights for this month’s training.” Said Naruto.



He quickly formed a seal, and Sasuke fell flat on his face.



“I have increased you weights up to 50 times earth’s normal gravity. I will now leave you in Kakashi’s capable hands.” Said Naruto who disappeared in a swirl of leaves.



Sasuke craned his neck with much effort to look at Kakashi, who had an evil gleam in his eye, for the first time since he met Naruto; he felt fear enter his heart.



End flashback.



Sasuke watched from the shadows as a pair of 2 chuunin landed right in front of him, with their backs o him. He quickly pulled out two kunai and ran forward, before they knew what happened, they were dead. Thanks to the gravity seals his speed was, in the words of Kakashi, “low ANBU level, at least.”



He quickly jumped off the building and his in its shadow. He watched as the remaining 5 chuunin and 1 Jounin stay close together in a group. Thinking of a plan, he formed a cross shaped seal and created some clones.



The sound Jounin did not like how this was going, it was supposed to be easy. The enemy would be occupied with the summons n the front gates leaving the tower undefended. He had a group of 34 chuunin under his command, and in a span of second it was cut down to this measly little group. He was not happy in the least, if he lived Orochimaru would reward his failure with death, and that was if he was lucky.



Suddenly he feels a chakra signature and turns to see a group of 3 boys running at him, he looks closely and see they each have red eyes with 3 tomoe, “sharingan?”



Before he could capture the child for his leader, all 3 disappeared, and raced around him at incredible speeds. They were going so fast that the sound-nin didn’t notice a 4th join in. suddenly one ran from the circle and charged the group, he ducked under the Jounin and went to attack the chuunin, killing 2 before being taken down, the others quickly joined in and rushed the chuunin from all sides, killing them instantly.



The Jounin stands his ground, staring at the 4 Sasuke’s before him. “What! 4! when did he come in?”



He shakes his head of these thoughts and tries to focus. One of the clones speeds forward and tries to punch the Jounin, only to block the punch and receive one in turn, causing the clone to disperse.



The others run forward and surround him before coming in from all sides. The Jounin leaps into the air and twirls around, kicking one clone in the face, followed by another as he lands; he blocks a kick and catches the leg. He breaks the leg causing the clone to disperse.



He looks at the lone Uchiha and says, “I’m guessing you’re the real one.”



He runs forward and grabs Sasuke, when he looks down; he sees Sasuke smirk and say, “boom.”



BOOM.

The huge explosion caught the Jounin by surprise, sending him into the air. Before he can counter attack, he sees a shadow above him and the real Sasuke comes rushing down in the air and slams a kunai into the man’s heart. He’s dead before he hits the ground.



Sasuke smiles, while he can’t make explosive clones, one with explosive notes is just as good.



Konoha hospital.



Sakura was rushing as fast as she could, her hands glowing green as she tried to save the life of the chuunin under her care. After the initial invasion began, casualties came swarming in. she wasn’t allowed to fight, they had ANBU guard for that, and she was told to try and heal as many as she could, so they could go out fighting again.



She looked down at the man’s face, and smiled sadly, she healed him already when he was caught by an enemy kunai. She lifted her hands, and closed the dead man’s eyes. She said a quick prayer, and then went back to work, all she could do is save as many as possible, and hope that none of her friends and team mates come in.



Arena.



Kakashi landed next to Gai, he took a look around and had to say he was impressed. All the genin, Kiba, Hinata, Ino, Tenten, Neji, Lee, Shino, Choji, even Shikamaru was fighting, even if he didn’t want to. He chanced a looked at the sand siblings, only to find them idle, not once had they moved to fight. He was of course, suspicious. But he kept them in the back of his mind; he had more fighting to do.



Gaara.



“Um, Gaara, I don’t mean to question you, but why are we not fighting?” Asked a nervous Temari.



Gaara simply stood, and started walking out of the arena. Slowly, they made their way through Konoha, until they came to training field 7; he then turned and said, “We don’t fight, because I will fight here.”



Kankuro and Temari look at him, then each other, then him again. Gaara ignores them and sits on the grass.



Ninja Academy.



Kara sat on a swing, watching as a pair of sound chuunin started walking up to her saying many crude things. She simply ignored them, until they came in range. With a quick twitch of her fingers, two figures leapt out from the shadows, wrapped one chuunin up in a spike chain, pulled and turned him to ribbons, before the other chuunin could act her puppets slashed open his throat, killing him.



She stood up and looks her puppets over, the Demon Brother of Kiri, her first Human puppets, a present from Naruto, her beloved. Over the course of the past month he had spent a great deal of time training her for this, he had said, “I want you to be strong. I will not always be there to protect you, so you must learn to protect yourself. I will train you in my sacred art, so that you can protect yourself.”



She had taken his words to heart, and had listened intently and trained hard. She believed that Naruto-kun was proud of her, even if he would never admit it. She heard a sound and turned to find Iruka, one of Naruto-kun’s precious people walking towards her with a smile.



“The academy has been evacuated successfully, thank you for the help.”



She simply smiled and followed him to the evacuation shelters.



Yugito.



Yugito was given the hardest job of all, fighting at the front gate. Luckily, Naruto didn’t leave her unprepared.



When the invasion started, she channeled some chakra and activated the trap seals Naruto had placed the night before. It was…messy, to say the least.



The first one was an explosive seal, a big explosive seal. It had taken out a snake and a large group of the first wave; she was still trying to get the flesh bits out of her hair.



The second seal was a special seal; it was also a doubled layer trap. First, it caught a group of about 50 chuunin in a pit, then another seal inside flooded it with hot, molten steel. She doubted they would find the bodies.



She ran into Jiraiya during the fight, he summoned a frog to fight 2 of the 4 remaining snakes, and they teamed up for the remainder.



Currently, she was in her Nibi form, with Jiraiya on top of Gamabunta, fighting the Giant 3 headed snakes and Manda. She was going against the 3 headed snake. Luckily, she was far more powerful, so she ran up at top speed and jumped off the roof of a building, she sent a swipe of her claws, which sent a stream of Nibi chakra and took off 2 of the heads. She landed on the third head and began to send Nibi’s death chakra into the brain killing it.







She then had a sudden idea. Drawing upon the Nibi’s chakra, she used its special ability, and brought the corpses of the snakes back to life, and under her command. She then ordered them to attack Manda, while she reverted back to human form and jumped on to Gamabunta’s head next to jiraiya. He looked at the corpses attacking their former master, who was fighting them, and Gamabunta, and cursing enough to make a sailor proud. Jiraiya then turned to Yugito and asked, “What the hell is that?”



She smiled and replied, “Nibi’s special ability is to control the dead. She can’t bring back the souls of the dead, only the body’s and they obey her without question. That includes, rotting corpses, skeletons, everything. As long as it’s not dust, then it can be used. If I had access to a graveyard I could make an entire army.”



Jiraiya looked at her for a bit, nodded, then went back to watching Gamabunta laughing at Manda.



Sarutobi.



The old Hokage dodged another of his former students sword strikes and parried another with his summon, Enma, who was in staff form. He chanced a look over at Naruto, who was doing a remarkable job of fighting the 2 resurrected Hokage’s. But there’s only a limit one could do against someone with the same abilities.



Every time Naruto cut one down they would simply regenerate, which from the cursing he could tell was pissing Naruto off to no end.



Sarutobi nodded, he knew what had to be done, he created a clone to occupy Orochimaru and made his way to Naruto. His presence was enough of a distraction to the two kages that the Yondaime was able to slam another Rasengan into both their chests, it would last for a minute at most.



“Naruto, I’m sorry, but we cannot win this like a conventional battle. I’ll be using the technique the 4th used to seal the kyuubi into you. I’ll seal the kages and Orochimaru with me and take them to the stomach of the shinigami. I’m so sorry…”



Before Sarutobi could finish, Naruto grabbed him in a hug, then released it and grasp his forearm, “it was an honor to fight with Hokage-sama.”



Sarutobi smiled, and then said, “Quickly, I need you to prepare to hold back Orochimaru’s guards until the ritual is complete.”



Naruto listened, then he placed a kage and himself at each corner of the barrier, ready to intercept. Naruto made eye contact with the ANBU, and they took the meaning, so they arrayed themselves at each corner, ready to fight the sound four.



Sarutobi smiled at the sight of such teamwork, the he summoned 2 shadow clones, the clone ran and caught each kage from behind in a submission hold right as they got up. He performed the seals and ran to Orochimaru, who had already dispelled the clone, and Sarutobi caught the snake Sannin in a bear hug for the ritual.



Suddenly, the sky turned black, and a form appeared, its white hair, its empty black eyes watching.



“What are you doing?” yelled Orochimaru in fear at the sight before him.



“I am going to take you with me to the afterlife. I’m positive that the souls of those here today that you have violated will like to have a nice chat with you, IN HELL!” said Sarutobi.



Soon, the hand of the shinigami reached in and pulled out the souls of the two kages, dispelling their body’s to ash. Then it reached its hand into the back of Sarutobi and into Orochimaru’s stomach.



Orochimaru, not to be outdone, summoned his sword to stab Sarutobi in the back. Only for Naruto to run forward and catch the handle. Enma returned to normal, but was too weak to help. He watched the determination in Naruto’s eyes as he pulled hard, trying to keep the sword at bay.



But it was futile; the sword left his grip and plunged into the back of Sarutobi. By now, Naruto could see that Orochimaru was pulling his own soul back.



“You won’t take me, never; I still have to learn every jutsu! I still need more power!” yelled the snake Sannin in his madness.



Sarutobi smiled and said, “I may be unable to take your full soul, but I will take your ability to use jutsu!”



The sword of the shinigami came down and cut the arms of Orochimaru’s soul off, before pulling them into himself.



Sarutobi’s body separated from Orochimaru, who was screaming in agony as his arms turned black.



Naruto ran forward and pulled out the Kusanagi, and picked up Sarutobi in his arms. For the first time in a long time, Naruto allowed tears to stream down his face.



“No, don’t die, not yet!” he cried.



Sarutobi smiled and said in a weak voice, “Naruto, I am so proud of you. You have become strong, for your precious people. I know Kara is precious, I see how you look at her, treasure her. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more of a good presence.” He coughed up some blood.



Naruto looked him in the eyes and said, “You are my grandfather, you are my family, you are all I ever wanted.”



Sarutobi smiled, then he closed his eyes and died, with a smile on his face.



Naruto doubled over and let out an anguished scream. Then, he looked up when the barrier fell, ‘they will PAY!’



As the sound four made their way to Orochimaru, Naruto and his puppets intercepted them. Using his insane speed, the Yondaime slammed a double Rasengan into the stomach of Kidomaru and Tayuya.



The second picked up the Kusanagi and slashed off the heads of Sakon and Ukon, while the first showed his insane strength and punch a literal hole in Jirobo’s stomach, before the second decapitated him.



Orochimaru and the ANBU watched in horror as Naruto showed no mercy. Naruto then turned around, and his eyes, his cold, steel eyes were filled with such fury that Orochimaru took an involuntary step back.



Quickly vines erupted from the ground to secure Orochimaru, he chanced a look over and saw the first holding a hand sign. Naruto took the Kusanagi from the Nidaime and walked over to the snake Sannin.



“You…you did this. You have caused much suffering, you killed my grandfather, and you invaded my home. You are responsible for his soul spending an eternity in agony. I think that its time you pay your due snake.” Said Naruto in such a cold vice that even the ANBU shook in their boots.



Naruto stopped in front of him and said, “I will make it my personal mission to see that you suffer!”



He then plunged the kusanagi, Orochimaru’s own sword, into his heart, killing him. He then released the body and sealed it away for later.



Kakashi, who had just arrived and witnessed the whole conversation, walked up to his student and asked, “Are you turning him into a puppet?”



Naruto looked at him and replied, “No, I do not want his stench to taint my collection. But his body still has uses; it may hold the key to saving the soul of the Sandaime.”



With that, Naruto sealed up his puppets and walked over to the Sandaime. He reached down and placed his right hand on the thirds forehead, said a silent prayer, then left in a swirl of leaves.



Kakashi looked on in thought, ‘I fear, that this will be the last time we will see any emotion from him. This is only going to close him off more. Sensei, I’m so sorry.’



Training field 7.



Naruto arrived at the training field to see Gaara waiting patiently, he had some stress to take out.



Temari and Kankuro looked at Naruto, then at Gaara, then the realization sunk in, they were going to fight, to the death.



Naruto stared at Gaara, Gaara stared back.



“So, are you here to validate my existence?” asked Gaara.



Naruto simply stared and replied, “I am here to kill you, or for you to kill me. That is the existence of both of us today.”



Gaara simply nodded, before turning back to Temari and Kankuro, “leave the area.”



Obeying his wish, they left to a safe distance.



Gaara let his sand pour out of his gourd, while Naruto unsealed Danzo and Sai puppets.



Gaara lashed out with his sand and it quickly covered Naruto, when suddenly there was a bang and the sand exploded everywhere with smoke rising from the left arm of Danzo. Naruto looked at him and said, “Don’t hold back, I won’t.”



Gaara took that as a sign and started to gather as much youkai as he could and the sand started to cover his body, soon he looked like the miniature Tanuki demon, then with speed that was surprising for its size, it landed right in front of Naruto and took several swipes with its claws, all blocked by Sai’s sword. Naruto jumped back and had Danzo rush in.



The puppet unleashed a series of fast and powerful strikes, first a punch to the gut with his fist, then an uppercut with his iron fist.



Gaara went flying into the air, where Sai drew a large black falcon that flew and slammed into Gaara’s body, sending it crashing into the ground.



Before he could recover both Danzo and unleashed Katon: Enryuu endans to fry the area.



When the smoke cleared, it revealed Gaara had used his tail as a shield. Gaara leapt up and came started to unleash air bullets, but Naruto and his puppets dodged easily. They ran around until Sai jumped into the air and unleashed a large black ink dragon.



The dragon went to encircle Gaara who merely used his sand to attack and disperse the dragon. As Gaara landed Sai came down and tried to slash Gaara with the sword only to have Gaara hit him with his tail.



Gaara turned to see Naruto himself running up to engage Gaara. Naruto punched Gaara in the stomach, when he began to laugh, Naruto smiled and unleashed a chakra blade, which at point blank cut through the sand and hit Gaara in the stomach.



Naruto quickly jumped back as the sand revealed Gaara was bleeding. Temari and Kankuro looked on in shock as they have never seen their brother bleed before.



Naruto quickly sealed up Sai and Danzo and unleashed Sepheroth, Haku, and Zabuza.



Before Gaara could react, Naruto had Haku send thousands of ice needles at him, but Gaara defense sprang up just in time, only for it to be cut down by Zabuza and Gaara had to jump back to avoid the strike of Sepheroth.



Kankuro was watching in complete awe, ‘so, this is what true puppet combat is like?’



Temari, for the first time was actually scared that Gaara would not make it; the Uzumaki seemed to be a formidable opponent.



Gaara laughed, “Yes, you are powerful. The rumors about you are true indeed. I will show the world my existence by beating you!”



Gaara then decided to gather all his sand, and he revealed his true form, a giant walking sand Tanuki.



Naruto looked up at him and thought, ‘hmm. This is certainly interesting. How to combat a giant?’



Gaara looked down at Naruto and raised his arm to smash Naruto. Naruto and his puppets jumped back to avoid the massive strike which sent the earth rumbling. Naruto quickly had Zabuza perform a water jutsu to soak Gaara’s feet then he had Haku freeze the water.



As the water was frozen and Gaara temporary distracted, Naruto jumped up with his puppets and ran to the head, only to have to jump off to avoid an arm strike.



Gaara laughed again and said, “MOTHER WANTS TO TASTE YOUR BLOOD HERSELF, SO LETS SEE HOW YOU DO AGAINST HER!”



Temari and Kankuro knew what this meant and were scared. Naruto watched as Gaara’s form emerged from the top of the head and put himself into a deep sleep.



“YES! SHUKAKU’S BACK BABY!” yelled the giant Tanuki.



Naruto knew he was in trouble, because he didn’t have anything that could match shukaku in size.



Coming up with an idea, he hid his puppets in the forest below and created several shadow clones, each one running in a different direction to distracted the stupid demon. Somewhere, deep in Naruto’s mind he could hear chuckling, but he decided he would deal with his questionable sanity later.



He secretly had Zabuza perform another water technique, while he himself did a water technique. Catching shukaku by surprise he managed to soak the demons legs up to the waist. Haku quickly freezed the water.



While the Tanuki was trying to break the ice Naruto ran up him in an attempt to get to Gaara, only to have the dodge the arms again.



“Dammit! I’m going to have to freeze the arms to, but how?” he said to himself.



Then suddenly a light bulb went off. He didn’t want to have to use it, because the Nidaime had seen enough battle for one day, but he had to do it.



He created even more clones, each one running up the shukaku arms, quarantining to distract the demon as it protected its host.



He quickly unsealed the Nidaime, and then he, the kage, and Zabuza produce enough water to soak shukaku up to his neck, which Haku quickly froze. Then using a bit of genius, he had Sepheroth and Zabuza cut off the frozen arms and the frozen legs. It would take shukaku a moment longer to regenerate its sand limbs then to break the ice.



Naruto quickly ran up to the head, which was closer to the ground, and punched Gaara hard, breaking off the sand armor. Before Gaara could recover the sand armor, Naruto took a poison senbon and pricked Gaara on the cheek with it.



Gaara felt the effect immediately; Naruto sealed all his puppets except Sepheroth, in case the siblings proved to be trouble.



Gaara looked at Naruto, and Naruto looked back, then suddenly Naruto spoke, “I have injected poison into your system, you will be dead in minutes. I promise to tie the demon to this world, so that you may find peace in the afterlife.”



For the first time, Gaara understood.



Temari and Kankuro came up to Naruto and Gaara, Naruto stayed back, but not to far as he allowed the siblings this last moment of peace.



“Temari, Kankuro. I’m sorry. I really do love you all. Forgive me.” Asked Gaara.



The siblings looked at each other and Temari said, “I forgive you. I love you to brother.”



Kankuro looked and said, “I forgive ya man. Try to find the peace in the afterlife that you couldn’t find here.”



Gaara nodded, and then said to Naruto, “you win. Your existence is stronger.”



Then Gaara closed his eyes for the first and last time, a smile on his face.



Temari openly cried into Gaara’s body. Naruto walked forward and said, “I have won, I will take his body and leave.”



Temari and Kankuro looked up in shock.



“Please, let us take him back to suna for a proper burial?” pleaded Temari.



Naruto looked at her, and then said, “No, he is mine.”



Kankuro stood up angrily and said, “Your going to make him into a puppet aren’t you?”



Naruto looked at him and said, “Yes.”



Kankuro was about to attack in anger, only to stop when he felt Sepheroth sword at his throat.



“Too many have died today, no more.” Said Naruto.



He placed a special seal on Gaara demon seal then sealed the body and the sand into a scroll. Before he left he said, “As a puppet, your brother will continue to live on, and instead of being hated in his home village, he can help the lives of others. We both know that his grave would be desecrated in suna; he would never truly have peace. And if you blame someone for this, you could blame me for killing his body, but his mind and heart was dead long before I came along. Blame your father for all that he has done to your family, if it is revenge you want, take it out on him. He started this whole cycle.”



Temari and Kankuro calmed a bit, know what he said was true. Their brother’s body would have been drugged through the streets in suna, and it was their father that started this with his obsession with power. But that didn’t mean they weren’t angry with Naruto.



‘I swear Uzumaki, someday I will be strong, and strong enough to take back my brother and truly give him peace.’ Vowed Kankuro.







A/N: well, here’s my longest chapter yet. I have a few notes though.



Note 1: Gaara is going to be a puppet; I thought it would be an interesting change in fiction for once.



Note 2: someone was kind enough to tell me that I didn’t mention how the village council would take to having Yugito in the village. That was an oversight on my part, so here is what they thought.



Nothing, Sarutobi and Naruto decided to cover up her existence by saying she was a slave girl given to Naruto as a gift, and they bought it because the council is full of idiots.



Note 3: to get to the LEMON, go to my profile, click on homepage and follow the directions. It’s simple.



Next chapter will detail the finding of the next Hokage, Naruto leaving the village, and a surprise I’m sure will please many people.
