Saruto | The Celestial War (Part 2)

Chapter 44: Break of Dawn

I then turned over to Kaushiki who still had his hand piercing the ground. He was absorbing the chakra from the planet's core, and if I didn't stop him the planet would die. I then look into the palm of my hand. His eyes stared back at me. I then looked back to Kaushiki who seemed blinded by the power he was obtaining. Such a blind lust.

Suddenly anger swept over me and my face narrowed and lips pierced as I reached to remove my eyes. At first I hesitated. And then I remembered the promise I gave him. Taking a deep breath, I leaned into my fingers as I gripped my right eye and swiftly removed them from my face. Then inserting Sasuke and Boruto's eyes into my eye sockets, I felt a large surge of power course through my veins. It was a power that I had not felt before. My eye was clenched close as pain began to come in an unsuspecting wave and I reached to hold my face. With that, I felt my old eye roll out of my hands.

Flashing began to plague vision as memories from the eyes blurred vision. First, I saw Itachi looking at me with sadness, hands that were not mine were reaching for my eyes and then handing him the eyes and then another flash of the person falling down a cliff as Itachi looked down at me.

The next flash I was looking at a young Sasuke with a red haze around us. He looked at me in fear as I reached out to him. My bloodied two fingers tapped his forehead. As he stared at me, I felt a sense of sadness. My vision went hazy.

Suddenly there was a calm as I looked over towards the ocean and a sunset. My eyes clenched as tears streamed down my face, looking at the reflection of myself in the waves, I could see Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan as a mourning sadness waved over me. Was this the overwhelming sadness Sasuke felt for his brother?

I was facing the Sage of Six Paths, who looked at me with content as he imbued chakra into me. Looking down at my hand, I saw a moon sign. My vision then turned to a purple haze as I felt the power of the Rinnegan course through me.

Next I was in a familiar place as I looked at myself, my little hands faced palm up as I saw myself forming a Rasengan. As the Rasengan grew in size, I soon saw as I aimed its fire at Momoshiki. Suddenly, I was floating in another reality as Momoshiki floated over to speak words to me. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but suddenly there was a white haze as I felt the power of the Jougan.

I was laying on the ground as I stumbled over to Kaushiki, my vision sensed white chakra in the air as I weaved signs to imbue myself with the white chakra that plagued the air of Konoha. I then turned to glance behind me to see Sarada as she cried out to me. But I didn't feel sadness but relief. Was this... And then darkness.

I could smell rain in the air, as I was faced with myself once more. As I stood facing myself on the Hokage faces, I watched as I handed myself Boruto's Jougan and my gloved hand grabbed the eye from myself and lifted it to my face. This was when I entrusted Bouto's eyes to Sasuke after Boruto's funeral.

Suddenly, there was a soft flash as I cradled by myself. As I looked upon myself all I could see was sadness. But the feeling I felt from Sasuke was reminiscence and happiness. Was Sasuke ready to die? He reached for his eyes and then there was calm. It was peaceful.

Gripping my face, my right eye quivered to open and then I saw the world from a new perspective. It was beautiful. I could see everything. So this is what the power of the Sharingan felt like. No, wait. The Byakugan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Tenseigan, Rinnegan, Jougan. Those weren't right. I had never looked through this eye before but I could tell it was different. I felt my vision changing at a rapid pace through the forms. It was the combined power of both Sasuke, Boruto and myself. It was something new. Something beyond powerful. Something now person should ever possess. I could feel the aura of chakra radiating off the ground. Each and every star billions of lightyears away in the sky. It was beautiful. I could see every different dimension as it lingered just a portal away. It was all at my fingertips. And to think this was only half of its power. This was the power of the...

Sagennegan.

From inside my heart, with every beat a pulse pushed its way to the surface of my skin. My skin became red hot, I struggled to keep the power in. But it was my anger and determination that fueled it. My Will of Fire. And then I began to focus. Kaushiki.

As I looked at him killing our world for power. I raised my hand in a blind rage. I could destroy this entire battlefield with one flick of my finger. It would take him out for sure. But what about everyone else? I could feel as I held in the power it was eating away at my body from the inside. If I didn't release the immense chakra, I would become a nuclear bomb. Breathing in and out to calm my composure. I looked towards Kaushiki and lowered my hand slowly so as to not be released. As I breathed out, my breath turned in a wave of explosive chakra energy that enveloped the radius of both Kaushiki and I.

As the dome encircled over us in a white beam of light, Kaushiki released his hand from the core and looked at me. My experience of pure hatred did not waiver.

"So the Last Pure Uchiha is dead," he mocked, "pity."

My teeth clenched hard one another.

"Kaushiki!" I yelled out of rage.

He lost his smug expression and looked at me with curiosity. But I could tell he wasn't going to back down that easily. Like every Otsutsuki before him, he is fed with chakra and immortality. It was their nature. He then smiled and lifted his chin high. The obvious disrespect.

The power that the Sagennegan was radiating had already powered me back up with infinite chakra after that large dispersion of it. I was amazed at the reserves it gave me. A Billion times more than what I had before.

"Is that the Sagennegan?" He said with his smile immediately fading.

His face wore a heavy fog of fear. He was scared.

I smiled. And then breathed in once more, I'm gonna kill this bastard. This is for Sasuke, Sakura, and Boruto.

As I let the foreign chaos chakra flood my body from my eyes, I felt my body lift into the air. I was looking down on Kaushiki, as I should be. Suddenly, I felt the white chakra start to poison my body.

"Damn, this works fast," I cursed to myself.

As blood dripped out of my lips, I whipped quickly before turning my attention back to Kaushiki who seemed to be in a blind hunger. He craved the chakra of our earth and I had to stop him.

Lifting my hand gently, I felt the sky begin to change. The stars above began to course through the sky in a whirling over me as it collected itself over my radiating chakra.

"Kaushiki Otsutsuki," I whispered, my voice carrying in waves as it pulsed against the earth, "Your time is done."
