How I Reincarnated Into Naruto

“Hinata belongs to me, by right!” Toneri declares, tightly holding onto the Byakugan Princess; he looks down on the hero with a cold contempt.

Naruto and the Otsutsuki face each other down in a stalemate with both combatants poised to strike; they stand on the barren surface of the moon, glowing brightly as they have both their respective Chakra Modes activated. In the distance, over the horizon, is the giant, green and blue marble called Earth.

The Otsutsuki turns his attention to Hinata and leers, “You can watch his final moments in--?!”

Toneri is cut short as he quickly tosses Hinata to the side and holds both his arms in front of his face to block. His wrists are both pierced by a searing-hot sword composed entirely of fire; the Otsutsuki winces in pain as his arms are burned from the inside with smoke coming from his wounds.

The two gaze at the flame sword, tracing it back to its point of origin, Jin Uzumaki; he gives the Otsutsuki an icy stare while brandishing his lightsaber in his free hand; both his Rinnegan continue to glow an ominous red.

“Your right is the dirt.” The Onikage growls with venom in his tone. “Before I take your life, I’m going to tear those eyes out of your face!”

Toneri grimaces, “Don’t be so presumptuous!!”

The crafty Otsutsuki weaves a sign with one of his hands and a handful of large debris, hovering aimlessly, are suddenly propelled towards the ninjas at an exceedingly high velocity. Fortunately, Naruto produces a massive chakra arm and makes a wipe swipe, completely destroying the boulders; the hero follows up by making a Rasengan and slams it into the ground, kicking up a dust cloud.

“The world created by the Sage of Six Paths is a failure…” Toneri stands tall, with a cold glare he proclaims, “I’ll destroy both the Earth AND you!”

From within the dust cloud, Naruto roars, “No way in hell we’re gonna let you destroy the Earth!”

The Celestial Prison Flame Sword dissipates only for a brilliant orange Rasenshuriken to burst its way out of the cloud, zooming right at Toneri, who erects a shield made from one of his Truth-Seeker Orbs; in a puff of smoke, just before the jutsu collides with the barrier, it transforms into Jin who creates another Celestial Prison Flame Sword, piercing straight through the Otsutsuki’s shield; Toneri, unfortunately, evades to the right.

Jin’s lightsaber ignites, flashing to life. However, just as the storm shinobi is about to slice into Toneri, the Otsutsuki counters by grabbing the top of the saber’s hilt and snaps it off, destroying the lightsaber. Sensing Naruto coming from above, the moon dweller, quickly reaches for the Onikage’s leg and swings him around like a bat, bashing the hero in the head; gritting his teeth, Jin feels cracks form on his cranium.

Toneri swiftly capitalizes on the moment by grabbing Naruto and slamming the cousins into each other three more times before throwing them into the cliff side. Hovering over the downed shinobi, the Otsutsuki holds up his right hand.

“Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion!” Toneri has his orbs coalesce to his hand, merging into a giant golden sword of pure chakra.

Bracing themselves, both Jin and Naruto’s eyes grow wide with horror and awe; with a single sword strike, the moon dweller not only hits the two Uzumaki’s, but he carves his way through the moon like butter, cutting the satellite clean in two.

“That’s it. It’s over…” The callous Toneri breathes a sigh of relief.

“That was… unpleasant!!”

Shocked, the Otsutsuki whips around only to meet a fist cracking him hard in the face, sending him flying. Jin and Naruto have survived but are both visibly wounded from that last attack; blood trickles from the Onikage’s mouth and the hero’s forehead.

What the hell, man?! Toneri isn’t supposed to be THIS powerful…! Is it because he has Ayanami’s eyes or is he naturally that much stronger…? Jin silently broods while wiping the bluish-green ichor off his mouth. “Gunna have to go all out… can’t afford to hold back in this fight.”

“I know that.” The Child of Prophecy nods in agreement.

The markings around Naruto’s eyes disappear due to him entering his Six Paths Sage Mode just as Jin closes his eyes; his mind wanders, thinking back on his training with Ayanami.

♦♦♦♦♦

“You’re doing it wrong.” Ayanami lands an Air Palm at close range.

Staggering, Jin’s feet skid along the ground as he is sent back over ten yards; he quickly recovers, catching himself by getting down on all fours.

During the two-year time skip, before The Last movie, the reincarnations are spending this current training session focusing on improving their Sage Mode, specifically Jin’s as well as his proficiency in Frog Kumite.

“Hmmm…” The analytical kunoichi strokes her chin. “I think I may know why you’re not getting this.”

“Then by all means, enlighten me.” Jin shrugs, tilting his head to one side.

“You need to use senjutsu chakra to surround yourself like an aura, an extension of your will,” Ayanami explains, “You use Sage Mode as if it were a simple power-up like the Kaio-ken when you should be using it like the Super Saiyan transformation.”

A Super Saiyan, huh…? The Onikage raises a brow, before nodding; he’s skeptical, but chooses to trust his friend’s words. “Alright… I’ll try it your way.”

Following the Hyuga kunoichi’s words, Jin claps his hands together and closes his eyes; he channels his chakra all throughout his body, enveloping himself in sage chakra; a faint crimson chakra appears, flickering around him in the form of a translucent shroud.

♦♦♦♦♦

The Onikage’s eyes open and then narrow; he gains a crimson chakra shroud that forms into three ethereal snakes, which surround his body; their raised heads sway from side-to-side in a coordinated manner as their rattles start shaking. Two forward-facing devil horns jut from his temples and black markings manifest around his eyes.

The pair of Uzumakis stand tall in their final forms, their current pinnacles of power; a single fierce glance from them intimidates Toneri, making him take a step back. The combatants are on high alert as they find themselves caught in a standoff with an intense bloodlust filling the air; a single shallow breath, or even a slight twitch of the eye is enough to welcome instant death.

“Naruto, go to Hinata,” Jin orders, breaking the silence. “Leave this asshole to me.”

Naruto makes a puzzled yet still serious expression. “You sure? We can definitely beat him if we work together.”

“But then who will protect Hinata from becoming collateral damage in the fight? Besides… I owe this asshole some serious payback after what he did to ‘Nami and Jaeger.”

As the hero takes a moment to think on the snake sage’s proposal, neither of them have taken their eyes off of the despicable Otsutsuki for even a second since they started talking; the Grim Reaper’s visage overlaps onto the incensed snake sage as the tension silently skyrockets once more.

“Fine, take your revenge… But don’t kill him.” The relenting Naruto sighs, flying away.

FINALLY… The vengeful Jin suddenly dashes forward, rocketing toward the enemy. “Get ready for a world of pain!!”

The Onikage lands a brutal sucker punch to Toneri’s jaw and smiles fiendishly as soon he feels the bone break against his knuckles. Jin keeps up the pressure by using the Body Flicker to zip around the Otsutsuki, ruthlessly kneeing him in the back of the head; he then dashes in front of Toneri to body check him.

However, the sly Otsutsuki quickly recovers, vanishing in the blink of an eye, only to then reappear and throw a fierce punch to the gut; upon being hit the staggering storm ninja disappears in a puff of smoke, revealing himself to only be a shadow clone.

The real Jin is, in fact, several meters behind Toneri, brandishing a Gelel Rasengan in hand. The Otsutsuki whip around while his Truth-Seeker Orbs ominously light up, unleashing a barrage of cyan chakra blasts, but the undeterred Onikage charges forward; he skillfully weaves his through the volley of projectiles until he can close the distance, plows his jutsu into the enemy’s chest and quickly slams him into the ground; a massive explosion occurs, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.

Before the dust even clears, the storm ninja is abruptly sent flying upward by a powerful right hook with Toneri quickly hurrying after him, kneeing Jin in the gut; his yelps, coughing up blood.

“It’s no use…” The Otsutsuki growls, slamming the snake sage back down with a double ax handle. “Just GIVE UP!!”

The wrathful storm ninja snarls back, “NEVER! I’m just warming up!”

Filled with a righteous vengeance, the Onikage eagerly raises up his right hand and channels his fire chakra through it; it spirals violently with four large points around its central Rasengan core, giving the appearance of a fūma shuriken as he infuses it with both gelel energy and sage chakra, forming into the Sage Art: Fire Style Gelel Rasenshuriken.

“When you see Madara and Obito,” The furious Jin growls, launching his jutsu. “Tell ‘em I said ‘hi’!!”

Just as the snake sage lands gracefully on the moon’s desolate and rocky surface, a massive, fiery explosion occurs above him; he gleefully looks up only for his sense of satisfaction to immediately die out upon seeing scores and scores of cyan-green energy blasts headed right for him. The Onikage only has enough time to brace himself and stubbornly weather the oncoming assault; he grits his teeth as the bolts of chakra rain down upon him, blowing up at the moment of impact. All the numerous detonations merge into one colossal explosion.

When the blast dies down, Toneri, now covered in burn marks, cautiously descends and peers into the subsequent dust cloud; his Tenseigan Chakra Mode on his torso and arms have completely disappeared, leaving only 3rd-degree burns where he took the brunt of the attack.

The dust finally clears, revealing Jin to be alive and standing; his ethereal crimson snakes are coiled protectively around him, showing they took the bulk of his foe’s chakra blast volley.

“Why won’t you die?!” The frustrated Otsutsuki yells while clenches both his fists; his sheer rage forces his chakra mode to recuperate itself.

With a smug look on his face, the sage rips off the tattered remains of his Akatsuki cloak. “It’ll take more--far more--than what you’ve got, Toneri!”

Overflowing with chakra, both combatants streak across the battlefield at ludicrous speeds, with the fury of a wasp swarm; they leave behind red and green trails of light wherever they go; powerful shock waves are produced each time they clash which can be felt for miles. As the battle continues, their movements, their attacks gradually become much faster and fiercer as time passes.

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

Meanwhile, on another section of the moon, Toneri’s golem has been defeated by Rito and Kurama; the clever dragon has the colossal automaton impaled in a dozen places by large, metallic crystal rods, pinning it to the ground; he discharges lightning chakra, conducting it through the rods and paralyzing the golem, further assuring his and the Nine-Tails’ victory.

“Man, that was annoying…!” The genius breathes a sigh of relief.

The ground begins to tremble, startling the dragon and the fox; they stumble for a moment before quickly finding their footing.

Keeping low to the ground, on all fours, the alert Kurama asks, “This chakra… What IS this?”

That’s when they see two streams of light, crimson and cyan, streak across the moon at faster than light speeds; the way the streaks occasionally move briefly reminds Rito of the Windows 98 pipe screensaver.

As the genius watches, a bulb lights up within his head; he proceeds to facepalm. Fuck me dead… Why didn’t I think of that sooner…?!

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

“...Cannon FIRE!!” Ay barks.

Outside in the cold, the Hidden Cloud Jonin, Buryu Lee, watches as his village’s secret weapon has just finished charging up; a beat of sweat runs down his tense face. Buryu is but one of the many Jonin that power the cannon with their chakra while Killer Bee and the Raikage are the ones at the helm; the chakra cannon is prepped and ready to fire, but, to the cloud ninja’s relief, it hasn’t.

The Raikage queries, “What’s the matter?”

“♪ Yo, I can’t shoot at Naruto! ♫” The hesitant Bee protests, rapping.

“Stifle your personal feelings!” Ay chastises his brother. “The very existence of Earth--!”

“Umm… Lord Raikage? Are we really going to do this?” Buryu asks, cutting him off; steam exits his mouth with every word he utters. “We ALL heard what those other 3 nations were going to do. They’re going to declare war… on US.”

The Cloud Village leader dismisses him with, “We’ll still have a planet to wage war on. We’ll do what we must.”

“On that, we can agree.” The Cloud Ninja slyly puts his hands into his pockets; he reaches for a small device, that which was gifted to him, and presses its one, singular button.

♦♦♦♦♦

Hours earlier, Mileena made contact with the Hidden Cloud Jonin when she was certain that he was alone; she forewarned him on what the leaders were planning and was offering him a mutually beneficial proposition.

“You are like Jin and Ayanami,” The symbiote tells him. “That makes you a rare commodity.”

Buryu does not respond, his eyes continue to look down at the mysterious device that was just handed to him, transfixed by it; the black, ovular object is no bigger than a wireless car key.

“So… Do we have a deal?” Mileena asks, regaining his attention.

“But you're asking me to betray my village.”

The symbiote shakes her head. “On the contrary, I’m asking you to save lives. I’m asking you to help prevent the 5TH GREAT NINJA WAR.”

♦♦♦♦♦

“Look out!!” A sensory cloud ninja warns with a thundering voice.

Upon hearing the warning, everyone present leaps back, away from the Chakra Diffusion Cannon as it is suddenly bombarded by a volley of kunai; the perceptive Buryu instantly notices that each and every kunai has a string tied to them with what appears to be a small, blue, crystalline pearl attached to the other end. The kunai detonate, but there is no explosion in the conventional sense; the ground trembles as massive ice stalagmites erupt from the ground, lifting up and skewering the superweapon in a dozen different places.

Unfortunately for the Hidden Cloud, this incident doesn’t end there; a rapidly spinning sword comes flying in, violently cleaving through the cannon. The frozen weapon shatters into thousands of pieces like glass upon impact with the blade embedded atop the pile of frigid rubble.

“Huh…? What the hell?” The startled Buryu is taken aback by the sword’s design. Where have I seen that before…?

Upon closer inspection, the cloud ninja sees that the blade is too big to be called a sword, it is practically a large heap of raw metal; given the blades incredible size and weight, Buryu suspects its function is more akin to a bladed maul. What is most unusual about the weapon is the greenish-blue orb built into the hilt.

In the blink of an eye a man Buryu is very familiar with suddenly appears next to the sword; the new arrival is a tall and noticeably muscular man with light grayish skin, short spiky black hair, dark brown eyes, and small eyebrows; he wears his Hidden Storm forehead protector sideways on his head while there are bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face. The man is dressed in a sleeveless black shirt and matching pants, complete with a waist-guard, and the Hidden Mist's striped wrist and legwarmers.

“They called it the Dragon Slayer, right?” The man says in a deep and gruff voice, pulling the weapon out of the debris. “It’s no Executioner’s Blade, but it still gets the job done…”

“Z-Z… Zabuza… M-Momochi?”

Weaving a hand sign, the former Mist Ninja looks back at the cloud jonin and scoffs, “I don’t have time to play with you, little cloud ninjas… Farewell.”

*Poof*

The Storm Ninja vanishes in a puff of smoke, leaving all the cloud shinobi to their own devices; after what just happened sinks in, they are all drowned by a sudden wave of bewilderment.

“Wasn’t that… the rogue ninja, Zabuza Momochi?”

“He’s back! The rumors are true!”

“Was he really wearing a Storm Village headband?”

Well, I did my part… Buryu thinks to himself as his fellow shinobi murmur in the background. …Jin. Rito. The rest is up to you guys…

“NO! The cannon!! Don’t just stand there, FIND AND CAPTURE THE INTRUDER!!!” The furious Raikage roars, fervently giving out orders.

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

Back on the moon, a fierce battle continues raging on with two jets of light, crimson and cyan, streaking ferociously across the moon’s surface; each time the streaks collide, a celestial body gains a new crater.

The wrathful Onikage produces a Celestial Prison Flame Sword from his right hand and swings it at the Otsutsuki. Unfortunately, Toneri is able to finesse Jin, diverting his sword strike and opening him up for a devastating counter. The storm ninja watches helplessly as the Otsutsuki youth grabs him by the hand and pulls Jin in close only to release him as pivots out of the way. The Storm Village leader quickly turns back only to be met with an intense searing, burning pain; he looks down and finds a glowing golden sword of pure chakra running straight through his torso; its bright light makes his eyes wince.

“Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion.” With contempt and determination in his eyes, the youth looks down on the storm ninja. “The world of the Sage of the Six Paths is over! I will end it, along with you!”

As the blood trickles down from the corners of the Onikage’s mouth, he suddenly grabs hold of the arm holding the sword and defiantly shouts, “It ends when *I* say it ends!”

Fighting through the pain, the stubborn Jin quickly pulls Toneri in close and headbutts him, maintaining a death grip on the Otsutsuki’s limb; with his free hand the storm ninja slams Toneri with several haymakers; three in his gut, one on his jaw, and two in his nose. The Onikage finishes his onslaught by plowing a Planetary Rasengan into his foe’s chest; as the youth is sent flying, the storm ninja swiftly chases after him and sends him crashing down with a devastating lariat; another seismic event is created.

“Weak and pathetic,” Jin coldly remarks while grabbing hold of his enemy’s cranium and hoisting him up. “Just like the cause you FIGHT FOR!!”

The ruthless sage winds back his head and bashes it hard into Toneri’s; he can feel the Otsutsuki’s skull crack against his along with some blood trickling down his face, it’s warm. The village leader continues his assault by pulling his foe down and kneeing him in his face, and follows up by immediately swerving sideways, lifting up his knee and thrusting his foot into the helpless Otsutsuki, kicking him in the gut.

“Disgraced by defeat… That look suits you!” Jin now wears a smug grin.

The sage watches in elation as the ethereal snakes surrounding him all move in unison; they’re tails rattle profusely as they tightly coil up and quickly lunge toward Toneri, their long and massive fangs penetrate him in several places as they tackle him into the ground.

“Sage Art: Diamondback Rasengan!!”

A Rasengan forms in each of the three snakes’ mouths while they continue to bite down and, in a flash, they simultaneously detonate; the resulting massive explosion of spiraling chakra is so bright that it can be seen from Earth, with the naked eye.
