26 The End 1 (2/2)
She nodded slowly, ”I...yes….I promise, I won't tell anyone, please don't-”
”-Relax Karin,” Anko patted her shoulder, ”he barks, but he never bites his allies. And the moment he revealed his face to you, you became his ally. And, between you and me,” Anko stage whispered, ”he has a weak spot for redheads.”
I sighed, ”whatever….either way, I'm going. This needs to be done.”
”I'm coming with you,” Yagura stated, ”he's after people like me.”
”Which is exactly why you will not be coming along, I'm not hand delivering you to that man,” I growled shooting everyone a look, ”none of you are. As much as you may not like to hear this, you aren't anywhere close to fighting this man. You can't defeat Orochimaru, who couldn't defeat Itachi, who is afraid of the man I'm going to face. So trust me, you will not be ready for this man.”
”But you will?” Anko said in a challenging tone.
I nodded, ”I was, from the first day of this mission I've been training for this moment. So trust me, I'm more than ready to take him on.”
”And what if the Hokage asks us where you are?” Puma asked.
”Tell him I'm making sure my little brother doesn't die a very painful death,” I told her, ”and if he continues to whine remind him that he owes me one very big favour.”
They didn't like it, I could tell as much. But I didn't care. I had been a good leader and good friend for over two years, now it's time to be selfish. And that's exactly what I was going to be. I knew in the end, everything would be alright but still...I had to try and end Pain's threat before it began.
The next day I sent them away, and after making sure they didn't try to follow me, I took off towards Ame. I ran a few miles using Swift Release before stopping and preparing for the battle.
I sat down under a tree and closed my eyes, slapping my palms against each other and closed my eyes. It took me a moment of perfect stillness to feel the nature chakra around me, and a moment more for me to access it through my special cells.
One can achieve sage mode in two ways, that I know off. One is to learn it from a summon that already knows it, like the frogs or snake. And the other way is unique only to two people, me, and Hashirama.
When I first began to teach myself wood release I was able to detect sage chakra instantly, but fearing turning into a statue, I didn't try and use it. Thanks to Hashirama's lectures, I was able to step forward into the realm of senjutsu with ease.
Since I controled trees, which produced nature chakra, I had an innate link with nature that didn't require coaxing like the toad oil did with Naruto. I was already linked with nature, so all I needed was guidance, which I got.

I selected 100% and waited the full ten minutes, molding my chakra with the nature chakra I gathered from the very air around me.
Slowly blood red lines began to appear on my face. Thick red lines surrounded all three of my eyes as a second pair of lines ran from my two normal eyes, down along the cheeks and around my mouth, meeting together under my lips to form a vertical line that went straight down my neck.
Two red dots then appeared on either side of my third eye before the extended upwards into my hair line, tapering like a set of horns.

I opened my eyes, instead of being black, they were now a shade similar to gold. I sighed, damn, what a rush. I got up and activated my pseudo summoning seal, bringing forth Moltres out of it's pokeball.
”Mol!” it cried out, 'what is the mission now master?'
”I have a God to beat some sense into,” I grinned as I stepped onto Moltres' back as we took off into the air.
'You are...far more powerful than normal master,' Moltres noted.
”A new form I've been working on. How does it feel?” I asked.
'Powerful,' Moltes simply replied.
We flew south west quickly, Moltres making great time. And slowly, I could see rain clouds in the distance, we were entering Ame. And using my 8.0 telescopic vision, I could see the village in question just inside the clouds.
I didn't need sage mode to sense the chakra in the rain water, it was so potent, like paint. ”Take us above the clouds Hinnomaki,” I ordered and moltres obeyed.
We broke the clouds before nearing the rain and we quickly began to fly high above the village hidden in rain. I reached out with my senses and felt seven powerful chakra signatures below the clouds. Or rather one insanely high chakra source that was divided up between seven people, one alive and six dead.
I directed Moltres to the point where I could sense Nagato's main body, or atleast what I hoped was his real body. When we were floating right above him, high up in the clouds I stood up and removed my cloak and mask, putting them away. I made a wood clone and began converting his wood cells into human ones.
In five minutes a perfect clone of me stood next to me, he felt around his body with chakra before nodding, ”I'm real as I can be.”
”Good, now close your right eye,” I ordered as the clone obeyed, I quickly then opened my inventory and took out the right sharingan eye I took off Danzo, Shisui's right eye. It was leverage, my secret trump card.
I first cut of all the pain nerves for the clone, once I was sure he couldn't feel I think I took out his eye and put in Shisui's. I took a few moments, but he quickly adapted to the eye, pouring chakra into it in order to activate the mangekyou sharingan.
”Are you getting any notifications?” I asked him stepping away.
”Actually...no,” the clone frowned, ”that doesn't make any sense, why doesn't it work? I'm a perfect copy of you, and I'm alive...is it because I don't have a soul?”
I grumbled, ”fucked up game mechanics...fine, we'll deal with this later. For now, we have a mission. You think you can use the Kotoamatsukami?”
He frowned for a second, morphing between the normal three times and the four bladed shuriken silhouette. He nodded, ”I think I can. Should be simple enough.”
”Good. The moment I bind their chakra, I'll send out a pulse of chakra. Then, you begin,” I instructed. The clone nodded in response. With that done, I turned around sighed, ”Moltres...Sunny day.”
”MOL!” it flapped it's wings, hard. There was a wave of heat that exploded outwards that went down into the clouds and suddenly they began to burn up. The ever present clouds that hanged over the village of Ame began to melt away as for the first time in decades pure unfiltered light came raining down upon the people.
There had been generations that lived and died in the rain. But now, for the first time, they were seeing sunlight. I could almost feel the confusion present in the hearts of people. And then, Moltres let out a loud scream that turned all heads to it.
I leaped off it's back and dived down, we were right above an iron tower, figures, Nagato would have wanted the highest point to have the largest range for his black receivers. I charged my fist, I felt power course through my senjutsu enhanced fist. I drew it back and punched at the roof of the building.
”HELL YEAH!” I cried out as the entire roof exploded upon impact.
100 X 285 = 28,500 DMG!
And then, the perk I gained at level 70 from Hero maker kicked in:
Wonder Woman's strength- All strength based attacks gain X 5 bonus!
28,500 X 5 = 142,500 DMG!
BOOM!
The entire roof gave away as I sunk right through like a knife through hot butter.
I landed on my knees cracking the floor of the top most chamber. The sunlight came shining down behind me as I slowly raised up to my full length and looked forward, spotting Nagato before me, his purple eyes widened in shock at the mere sight of me.
Nagato Uzumaki, Pain
Lv- 145
REP- -50
Nagato was thin like a skeleton with black receivers sticking out of him as if he was a pin cushion. And he felt weak, almost like he was dying, but I'm guessing that was just because he kept feeding so much chakra out through the receivers.
”So, I hear you have been searching for me Pain,” I flashed my eyes, ”or should I say, Nagato Uzumaki.”
I immediately ducked just as a paper kunai flew over me. I leaped to the side and turned to see Konan came flying in through the balcony, paper wings attached to her back and a very cross look on her face.
Konan, The Angel
Lv- 81
REP- -70
Well, she hates me. I grinned, ”Konan the angel, my oh my, you really are my type. What's say after I finish kicking some sense into Nagato's behind you and I go out for some ramen eh? I know this great place in Konoha!”
”Shinra tensei!” Nagato cried out as a wave of repulsive force came rushing out. But I was more than prepared for that.
I grinned as I turned and planted my feet firm on the ground as the familiar force of energy washed over me, doing it's best to push me back. But my senjutsu was far too superior for it to even lay a scratch on me.
Nagato growled as he kept pouring more and more chakra into pushing me back, the ground shattered and gave out, even Konan was sent flying away, though she managed to use her wings to fly.
And then, it finally ended, Nagato dropped his arms, exhausted. I grinned as I released the chakra on my feet and moved through hand seals.
”Sage Art: Swift Release: Speed up times 10,000!” It was an ability I could only do while it sage mode as it would normally put way too much strain on my normal body, ripping it apart by the ligament.
And this speed turned everything into a super slow motion. As far as I know, nobody, not even Minato could keep up with me while in this form.
But I had a time limit, I could use it for ten minutes of my personal time before sage mode is used up, and along with it all the senjutsu chakra, so I might as well make this count.
I first grabbed Nagato and ripped out every single one of those black receivers on his body, throwing them out the window. I then cut my arm and poured out 400 ml of my blood into Nagato's wounds, using my cellular manipulation to fuse it with his own blood stream before tying him up with chakra repression seals.
I then grabbed Konan out from the air using chakra threads and tied her up using the same chakra repression seals. They were strong enough to hold Yagura back, I had them made just incase the Sanbi ever tried to escape.
And then, I released the jutsu, just in time too as the last of my senjutsu chakra began to ran out.
I stopped as the red lines on my face vanished, leaving behind two captured members of the Akatsuki, bound and helpless before me. Immediately I sent a burst of chakra out, instructing my clone to begin using Kotoamatsukami.
Nagato's eyes winded, ”h-how did you do that?!”
I sighed, cracking my neck as I found a chair and dragged it forward, resting my strained legs on the seat as Konan tried to free herself in vain.
”It's no use,” I told her rolling my shoulders, ”that seal is meant to hold back the Sanbi, I doubt even someone as skilled as you can escape.”
”But I can,” Nagato growled as he began to channel chakra into his eyes, I knew he was trying to use the deva path to blow the restraints away. Luckily I had prepared for that.
”Stop,” I formed the horse seal, activating my blood inside his body, paralysing his entire chakra network.
”W-what?! How?! How are you able to stop me?!” Nagato cried as he struggled with his bonds, bt his physically weak body did less than nothing to help free him, meaning it served to only tire him out and nothing else.
”I have my secrets, like you have yours, Nagato,” I replied, ”now, will you stop struggling for one second? The fact that I didn't kill you means something you ripple eyed moron. It means I want to talk.”
”And why should I listen to you?!” Nagato asked.
”Because I have an answer to your question of world peace,” I replied, stunning the two of them.
”What do you mean?” Konan asked.
”World peace,” I told them, ”that's why you began this whole venture isn't it? To try and bring peace to an otherwise broken world...you have been searching for an answer...I think I know it.”
”Oh? And, what is it?” Konan asked, obviously not believe me.
I smiled, ”it's simple. To destroy this world...we just have to give a damn.”
Nagato blinked, ”what?”
I chuckled, ”have you read Stan Lee's books?”
”What does that have to do with anything?” Konan asked.
”Just answer the question,” I sighed.
”I...I have,” Nagato replied, ”what off it?”
I grinned, ”what did you think? Of a world protected by super heroes and men that stand for justice and never falter?” I felt the clones foreign senjutsu enter Nagato's body, already it was taking hold. The moment it entered his body, the chakra vanished, even I couldn't detect its effect after that point.
”I think it's a dream,” Nagato replied, ”a foolish, foolish dream.”
”And yet, over the past three years, I've been proving it can be done,” I shot back. ”I stopped the civil war in Kiri, forging an alliance with them for Konoha. It then took me some time, but I helped establish Oto as well, a land that previously hated Konoha with all their heart. This ability to create bonds, that is what can save people...that is the only way we can gain peace...don't you think?”
”I think...that it is a foolish ideal,” Nagato growled, ”so what's your plan? Go to each and every land and solve their problems? Hm? Is that what you wish to do?! How long will that take?! How many lives will be lost before that is over?! How many will die before that is over?! What if you die before it is over? Then….then it would have all been for nothing.
”The only way for peace to truly be achieved, is through pain. A shared pain so great it will unite the people of the world together, joining hands in understanding.”
”No...there are other ways, less painful ways to do this,” I replied, ”yes, often times periods of great peace is gained through great loss. But that never lasts. Maybe one generation, maybe two. But then, the fighting will begin again, because people will forget, they will forget the pain. Will you be there to remind them? Will you Nagato?”
”With these eyes? Yes, I will,” his purple eyes flashed.
I snorted, ”you look half dead right now. And you're supposed to be an Uzumaki. You won't last another decade, less if you spend your nights with this beautiful woman by your side,” I chuckled, ”I'm guessing the reason you look like that is because she drys you up every night in bed eh?”
”P-pervert!” Konan growled, her cheeks blushing red, in a similar manner to Nagato's.
”I-I will survive! If I have too, then I can do it!” Nagato continued, ignoring my comment about his sex life.
I sighed, ”Nagato, you know that it won't last. What's the plan then? Give everything you have, punishing the world by forming the juubi and then what? Do it over and over again? No. You aren't treating the diseased flesh, you are just cutting it out, and hoping you got it all so that it won't regrow. But it always will, and it will always come back more violent than the last time.”
”H-how do you know about the juubi?!” Nagato asked, growing paler, ”who told you?!”
I shrugged, ”I know a lot of things...like the fact that you both were disciples of Jiraiya himself, that you made Akatsuki as a group of freedom fighters, not hired guns. That the dream you carry one...isn't your own. But of your friend's, Yahiko...and I know deep inside...you don't actually believe that pain will bring anyone together.”
”Yes I do! What do you know of pain?! What do you know of loss?! You were an orphan yes, but you have never lost anything! You don't-”
Slap!
I hit him, hard, nothing with chakra, but still, my STR level was at 235, I didn't even use Wonder Woman's strength, however it still wasn't anything to scoff at. I think I saw a tooth flying loose as his cheek slowly began to turn purple.
”So what?” I asked him, ”is it that only people with a fucked up past has a right to make the future a better place? Hm? Does that mean nobody with a tragic origin story can try and make the world better? Does that mean no matter how much good I do, just because I don't fucking understand, it makes it all worthless?”
Nagato narrowed his eyes, ”what do you know?”
I reached up to my headband and untied it revealing my bare forehead to them both. Slowly my third eye opened up, revealing itself to them, causing them to stiffen a gasp at the sight of the red rinnegan.
”I know exactly what you are capable off Nagato,” I spoke, looking right at him with all three eyes, ”I know, but case I am capable of the very same. I know that if you want to unite the world through pain, you don't need the jubi to do it, you can just kill everyone right now with your powers. Just pop into one village after another and kill everyone there.
”Then the remaining ninjas will band together and fight you. People would be united through pain, just like you wanted. You can do that, though you might die, but then again, you have always been willing to do that. So...why didn't you Nagato?”
”I...it wouldn't be effective.”
”Bull shit it won't be effective!” I snarled, ”I pretended to kill Yagura, the pirayeh of Kiri, and that brought everyone in that country together. You mean to tell me you honestly don't' think that can happen again? Huh? Are you really that stupid?”
”Their pain...it won't be enough,” Nagato argued back.
”It will never be enough,” I shot back, ”do you know why? Because pain is never the answer. Because love, is a much more powerful tool than fear and hate will ever be. If you want proof, just look at the woman to your left.”
Nagato turned to Konan, ”Konan and I are united by pain.”
”A pain you felt decades ago. Time heals all wounds. Can you honestly tell me Konan, that you're here with Nagato because of that pain?”
She looked at me with steel in her eyes and nodded, ”yes I can.”
I sighed, ”you kunoichis are always such great liars. Very well, I suppose there is one way to get the truth out of you,” I charged chakra into my third eye, activating it's abilities, ”Naraka path.”
-5,000 CP!
There was a tiny burst of fire behind me as the Statue of the King of Hell came bursting out of the ground. Konan blinked in questioning while Nagato gasped.
”I-it's real, you really do have the Rinnegan as well,” he gasped.
I raised an eyebrow, ”I see, so a rinnegan can see the statue, even if I'm not using it to revive people. Interesting,” I noted as usually the King of Hell head was invisible for everyone except me.
I then turned to Konan. I grabbed her by the neck and picked her up, she kicked and coughed, but I didn't let her go, ”now then. Let's try this again,” her mouth was forced open as her tongue came flying out like a giant pink mass. The King of Hell opened his mouth as a thin purple arm shot out, grabbing Konan's tongue.
”Now I'm sure you have seen Nagato do this a thousand times to other people,” I spoke as Konan's eyes widened in horror, ”so you know what will happen if you lie.”
”No! Don't'!” Nagato cried out.
”So tell me Konan. Are you with Nagato still because of your shared pain...or is it because you love him...like a friend, or as a lover?” I added the last part to give her some wiggle room.
Konan looked at me in hate before looking at Nagato's stunned form. He looked regretful, but there was a part of him that wanted to know. And Konan knew she couldn't lie.
”I-I love him,” she spoke, her voice muffled from the extracted toune, ”I love him with all my heart and I can't stand to see him become a martyr!”
”That's enough,” I ordered the King of Hell to release Konan as I dropped her down, banishing the summon back to wherever ti came from.
Konan coughed her throat sore, an after effect of the jutsu. I turned to Nagato, his eyes wide in shock, ”how can you believe pain is the answer...when both your friends follow the path of love? Yahiko wanted to make friends out of enemies...and Konan loves you more than the pain she feels in her heart. So tell me Nagato...do you really still think pain is what will bring true peace to the world?”
Nagato looked to Konan, ”Konan...but what about Yahiko?”
”Yahiko...he will always be in my heart, always,” she looked away, tears welling up in her eyes, ”but you're still here. It was you, not him that brought peace to this land. You're my friend and...i don't know, one day, I began to see you more than just a friend….I still love him...but I love you too Nagato.”
Nagato turned to me now, ”how did you know?”
I shrugged, ”a beautiful babe like that with an anorexic dude like you? Either you must have a huge cock or she's crazy. Crazy in love,” I snorted.
”He really does remind me on Jiraya sensei,” Nagato said in a deadpan tone.
”He's worse,” Konan replied with a snarl, ”he's so much worse.”
”Oh, you're making me blush,” I chuckled, rubbing the back of my head. I looked down at Nagato and sighed, ”so...what do you think about my answer Nagato? Is it better than yours?”
”I...I don't know,” he replied.
”Well, then how about a test?” I suggested.
”What kind of test?” Nagato asked.
”The original owners of these eyes used to travel all over the Elemental continents and help people,” I told the man as I released the seals around them both, ”maybe you two should go on a honeymoon around the country...find those who require help and help them. Put these fucking crazy plans on hold for a while,” I used chakra threads to grab their Akatsuki rings form their hands, ”and if after a year, you still believe the juubi is the best way to go, come to me and we can fight over ownership of these rings. For if you really wish to try and destroy the world, I will be the first person you need to kill.”
”So you wish to bargain for a year?” Nagato asked with a raised eyebrow as Konan immediately came to his side and picked him up, his anorexic body hanging off her thin frame easily, ”a year where I go around helping people? Spreading love?”
”You got it,” I nodded before grinning, ”and hopefully you two will fuck and by the time a years up you both are too preoccupied with each other to notice the rest of the world around you,” I opened my inventory and tossed both rings inside.
”I see….” Nagato coughed into his hand while Konan tried her best to keep the blush off her face, ”and if I deny your request?”
I created a shadow clone and dispelled him. Immediately there was a loud bang as a flash of fire came crashing through the roof, blowing apart the rest of the tower's top revealing my real life clone and Hinnomaki above, with a rasen Nova Blast in the clones hands. I saw his eyes, no sign of Shisui's eye, good, that must mean it was effective.
”That blast has enough power to wipe out a village,” I told Nagato, ”without your chakra, your eyes are useless. I'll make sure to end you...so I don't really think it's in your best interests to reject the offer.”
Nagato snorted, ”I see, so you were thinking several moves ahead of me...impressive Yami Uchiha.”
I sighed, ”don't call me that! I'm not a fucking Uchiha! I'm just Yami! Okay?! Yami! Now get your ass out of this god forsaken village and live a little! And I swear to god if I don't hear news of a beautiful blue haired angel and her anorexic ginger boy toy traveling the world, performing miracles, I'll fucking lose my shit!”
”Very well then, it would seem I have no choice,” Nagato narrowed his eyes, ”I'll see if your...method will work...though I doubt it will.”
”Time will be the judge of that,” I snorted, ”now, before you go tell me, where is Madara?”
”Why would I give up my ally?” Nagato asked, ”I may have chosen to go on this journey, but I am still in his debt.”
I sighed, ”fine...but when he eventually tracks you down and tries to kill you for deserting him and his plans, could you pass on one message for him from me?”
”What is the message?” the Uzumaki asked.
I smiled, ”Rin would be so disappointed in him.”
Nagato nodded, ”I will tell him that, do not worry.”
”Thanks,” I then vanished in a streak of lightning , appearing on Moltres' back, ”see you both later! Don't worry about the chakra block! It'll dissolve in an hours time! Until then, I suggest you two start packing!”
Moltres took off, leaving the village, Konan tried sending a paper plane to spy on us, but my clone, who was still in sage mode, managed to discover it immediately and destroyed it. I then took out Shisui's eye and sealed it away once more, putting it into my inventory before reverting the clone back into wood and absorbed him into myself.
It would take a year before Nagato and Konan realised I had already won. It was a cheap trick using the Kotoamatsukami on him, but it was worth it. Yes, I could just kill them and be done with it. But I liked him, he wasn't evil...he was kind of like Obito himself, a lost man who was taken advantage off by Madara...damn, looks like all the blame is coming on Madara huh?
Unfortunately I could only use it on one person. Konan would be a los string, but at least she's too loyal to Nagato to even questions his orders, especially if it meant allowing them to be together, for real.
Anyway, it's time to head home...finally.
That night:
I managed to catch up with my allies soon enough thanks to Hinokami speed. They were understandably pissed at my actions, but I just repeated the same thing, 'it had to be done'.
We all came into another village that night, renting two rooms to sleep in. I shred mine with Anko and Turtle, though in the middle of the night I snuck out into the woods, traveling far far away.
Once I was truly alone and used a summoning jutsu and summoned all three dead hokages to my side, each once again pouring out ash every time they were summoned.
”Have you managed to defeat Pain?” Tobirama asked.
I shook my head, ”no. I had to secretly use Shisui's eyes to make him see the best in the world instead. We won't be seeing him on with the Akatsuki ever again.”
”DO you think that it will really work?” Minato asked.
I shrugged, ”I may have not had to test it, but I'm confident that it did work.”
Hashirama patted my back, ”don't worry. If you believe it's possible, then it might just be so. If this man really is as dedicated to peace as you say you are, then he won't turn away such a task. He would feel obligated to try everything path available to him...or be forced into it by the Kotoamatsukami.”
”You know, you really aren't making a good case for being an irresponsible person Yami,” Minato chuckled.
I groaned, ”I told you Minato, I already have one voice inside my head Minato, I don't need two.”
”You could just drown him out,” Minato suggested.
”Now that would just be rude,” I snorted.
”What is going on here?” Tobirama asked, ”what are you both discussing?”
”Minato wishes to give me his Yin half of the nine tails chakra,” I informed him with a sigh.
”It's for the best,” Minato nodded, ”I am nothing but a corpse, Yami will need the power of the kyubi if he wishes to try and take on people like the Akatsuki. And to be honest...he's far more powerful than I will ever be.”
”Ah, if you didn't notice I just took on Pain single handedly and walked away. I don't need the power boost.”
”Do you really believe you can just talk your way out of fighting Madara?” Minato asked with a raised eyebrow.
”If it's any worth,” Hashirama began with a bright smile, ”you would be an amazing jinchuriki Yami. I have never seen someone as true as you.”
”There are parts of me that aren't like that Hashirama,” I snorted, ”dark depraved parts that want to kill and hurt...if I take on something like the kyuubi, I fear that just might enough to break me...I'm not sure I can handle it.”
”You are our disciple,” Tobirama snorted, ”trust me when I say this. You are more than worthy of the kyuubi.”
I sighed, ”you know...we should probably ask what he thinks.”
Minato blinked, ”excuse me?”
”The fox,” I pointed at Minato, ”what does he think of all this?”
Minato closed his eyes for a moment before opening them once more, ”he's not really saying much...but I'm guessing anything is better than being in a rotting body,” Minato chuckled.
”So...what do you say Yami?” Hashirama asked.
I rubbed my eyes, ”I so know I'm going to regret this but...fine. What the hell. At least now if the Akatsuki is coming for the biju they'll have to go through me as well. But,” I grinned, ”if I'm making this sacrifice...I want something from you.”
Tobirama raised an eyebrow, ”you want a bribe?”
I nodded, ”exactly!”
”What is it?” Hashirama asked curiously.
I pointed at Minato, ”you are coming back with me to Konoha! And I mean in a real body!”
”What do you mean?” Minato asked curiously.
”I mean, I have a rinnegan, control over the Outer path, and you have a body. So...let's make you a real body. Hashirama and Tobirama are well past their time. But you aren't Minato. You owe Naruto a father, and you have a chance to do just that.”
”B-but you'll die if you use the Outer path!” Minato argued.
I shrugged, ”I can just make a wood clone alive and have him do it for me. So? What do you say Minato? You in, or out?”
The Fourth turned to his fellow Hokages and gulped. They both nodded with a smile causing Minato to sigh. ”Well… if it means seeing my son...how can I say no?”
I grinned, ”perfect! Now, first things first, put the kyuubi in me, then we can work on bringing you back to life.”
The process was a long one. Minato and Tobirama worked in conjecture to create the seal that would store Kurama inside of me. It was the eight element seal, the same one Minato used on Naruto.
By four in the morning, we were ready. Hashirama used wood restraints to keep me held down while Tobirama monitored my chakra levels. Minato stood over me, reading the kyuubi for transfer, when he began, it felt like lava entering my navel. Or it did at first before Gamer's body kicked in and killed all the pain.
After twenty minutes, it was over.

I sighed as I felt my chakra coil around the seal, slowly fusing into a new power source along with my own core. I activated my eyes and looked down at the seal, my chakra paths were teaming with a foreign chakra, I could feel Kurama's might inside myself.
”How do I talk to him?” I asked.
”Meditate,”Tobirama explained as he vanished in a poff of smoke, asshole.
Hashirama chuckled, ”don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine,” he then vanished as well.
”When...when you wish to revive me, please, just summon me,” Minato then turned away and vanished as well, I'm guessing he had a lot on his mind, especially since I basically offered to revive him.
