Naruto of the Shinju

Chapter 4: The Moon

"Hey Naruto, you can't be serious. There could be no one living inside the moon", Sora exclaimed.

"Sora is right, there is no one. It would be impossible to do so", Kimimaro added.

Naruto smirked. "What if we go there?"

"You can't be serious", Kimimaro stated.

"Kimimaro, you don't know me yet".

Naruto used his space-time dojutsu in order to get to the moon. As soon as they got there, Kimimaro thought, "He was just a kid just like me, yet he could do these things. It's as if he was a god".

They walked towards the barren landscape and in a distance, they saw a castle. The three sped and as soon they got there, they were greeted the sight of a teenage looking man. He was tall yet he was blind.

"How did you get here?", he asked.

"We were just curious because it is in our very nature.", Naruto replied.

"I cannot see you yet I know that you three are kids. Tell me, how did you get here?", he asked.

"I brought them here", Naruto said.

Naruto then unleashed his new form and his hair grew out again, reaching the ground. Kimimaro, upon seeing this, was overwhelmed by an overwhelming amount of chakra emanating from him. Toneri couldn't see it but he could feel it.

"Oh, you're powerful. How did you get that power?"

"Before I answer that, tell me, what's your name?", Naruto asked.

"Otsutsuki Toneri. And you are…"

"Uzumaki Naruto".

They were welcomed into that place and Toneri proceeded to tell the history of the Otsutsuki. They were also told of the Celestial Decree of Hamura to the three yet Naruto corrected him, stating that it wasn't Hamura's intentions. Naruto showed the memory of the place to Toneri by implanting it into his mind and Toneri soon came to realize that he was wrong all along. Naruto told him what's his past was including the past of Sora and Kimimaro. He also explained what they're planning to do to Toneri. Upon hearing this, Toneri asked, "So, you want me to join at your plan?"

"That's basically yes. Given the circumstances, let me ask you something, aren't you lonely here?", Kimimaro asked.

He didn't answer. The silence ensued for a moment then Naruto finally spoke.

"We don't have families, nor parents or friends to take care of us. We suffered and we have endured a lot of hardships in our life. How about you, don't you feel the same way, too?"

He then added, "You are blind because of your eyes are removed since birth. Consider this as a gift from me, I will return your eyes in exchange be a brother to us. Do you agree? Not only it would be benefit you but it would also benefit the four of us, as we would be families from now on".

"Hmph, fine then. I also hate this place. I've been here for so long and I;ve decided to come along with you, as you are an interesting fellow. Now return my sight", Toneri said.

Naruto returned his sight and he had awakened the Tenseigan in both of his eyes. As they left the moon, Naruto was so happy that at long last, there would be someone that he would call as a family.

Days turned to weeks and days turned to months. Naruto hasn't returned and a lot of Academy students wondered where he was. The Anbu has given up searching up for the demon brat yet Hiruzen had his hopes that Naruto is still alive. Iruka also blamed himself for scolding Naruto that day and he thinks he was the very reason why Naruto hasn't returned up until now.

The villagers and some ninjas rejoiced that the demon brat is now gone, free from the nightmare that tormented them six years ago. While others became worried, especially the clan heads, that if Naruto were to fall on some ninjas who would exploit his powers, particularly rival countries, would eventually make way to conquer the world.

Meanwhile in the Academy, while Iruka was giving a lecture, a random Academy student asked, "Where is Naruto?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "You should not ask about those things in class. You should focus more on your studies and be a great ninja rather than worry about someone else", Iruka replied.

The student just nodded silently and continued to listen to Iruka's lectures.

"Naruto, what have I done? I should just have given you a chance to explain", he thought.

Meanwhile, piles of reports concerning about missing civilians not only from Konoha but from random villages continued to spread panic. Civilians would eventually disappear without a trace. As while they were walking, Naruto would just chuckle about the news.

"So, what do we now?", Kimimaro broke the silence.

"Sora wanted his revenge, let's give him that", Toneri replied.

"Kazuma and his faction would be somewhere here in the Land of Fire. Sora, since Toneri has trained you in some of the techniques he knows, I suggest that you should not work alone. I hate slow things. I want to finish anything quickly, and with that, even though the four of us are strong, we must use minimal chakra and finish those foolish humans quickly. After all, teamwork makes anything fast, doesn't it?", Naruto smirked.

"Hmph, I agree with you, but I must be the one to finish him at all", Sora said.

"Well then, this is the plan".

Naruto began to explain the plan on how they would assault Kazuma and his faction. As he finished explaining the plan, he said, "Remember the plan, exactly as discussed. Not a foot out of place".

Kazuma but now Furido is walking the forests together with his gang. As they were walking, Fuka broke the silence.

"Master Furido, there are a lot of reports concerning civilians going missing. Who do you think is the one behind this?"

"It's none of our concern. Our concern is Sora. Once he grows up, I would let him destroy Konoha so that the Fire Daimyo shall be the ruler and not the Hokage", he laughed.

As they were walking, they saw a child in a distance crying surrounded by dead bodies. As they approached the child, Fuen asked the child. "Kid what happened here?"

The kid looked back at her but the kid, seemed scared, covered his eyes.

"Do not be afraid. We're not here to harm you.", Furido said calmly.

While they continue to ask the kid some questions, they were watched intently by Sora, unknowingly been under by his illusions. Once he prepared to attack, Furido sensed there was someone hidden, and when they looked back at the kid, the kid disappeared together with the corpses. All of a sudden, Sora attacked. "Wind Release: Wind Bullets"

The four separated and Furido said, "Earth Release: Dome of Stone". He put both of his hands into the ground and then a rock appeared protecting him. Fuen, using Earth Release: Hiding in Rock Technique attempted to attack, she was thwarted by bone projectiles by Kimimaro, deliberately killing her when some of the stones pierced her heart, giving her no choice to attack.

"How dare you!", Fuka screamed. "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears"

The attacked reached Sora and he fell down the ground. When Fudo attempted to attack Kimimaro, a lava erupted above the ground to where Fudo was standing, burning him alive. Fuka however were pinned unto the ground by Toneri by using his truth-seeking balls to which he shaped into rods. Two were dead and Fuka barely alive, couldn't even move a muscle. She was therefore forced to watch the entire scenario.

Kazuma, recognizing Sora, asked, "Who are you?", pretending that he do not know his own son. As Sora stood up, he answered. "Well, father, I do not fall prey easily to your lies".

With that, he channeled chakra into the air and all of a sudden, without weaving any hand seals, the wind blew the corpses of Fuen and Fudo, and the trees also blew. After the wind dissipated, he levitated going towards the sky, where the sky above him darkened, revealing lots of lightning.

"Sora, how did you get this strong?", Furido asked. He was also shocked that Sora knew that he was still alive and even that he was a still a child, his chakra was jonin-level.
