Show Me The Future, Or The Past

Chapter 8

Naruto placed a Kunai into another puppet like the one Kisame he had fought. It struggled for a bit but soon stopped. With a sigh Naruto stood up from the fake leaf ninja and moved to his companion. Slay looked at Naruto and finished his own puppet.

"These puppets seem to be getting easier." Naruto said putting his kunai away.

"No," Slay told Naruto. "My brother is getting weaker. He can no longer make strong clones of strong ninja."

"Then we should be able to take him." Naruto began as the two began walking.

"Yes," Slay agreed. "But first we must find him."

"We could use the orb." Naruto suggested.

"Doesn't work on Gods sadly." Slay told Naruto. "It can only show you their past."

"Why is that?"

"An old Law by the Gods of old." Slay explained. "Orbs of Truth as we call them can not tell a God's future."

Naruto and Slay looked at a map and put a red x on it. There were already multiple of them all over. Some in the Land of Wind, others in Lightning, and most in the Land of Fire. It had been a year sense Naruto and Slay had started hunting Slay's brother. Every time they got close to him he seemed to slip away. The only question was how.

Slay thought about every possible way and found nothing. His brother was to weak to teleport, even if just a few feet. He had to be getting help some how. And there's only one place for someone like that would be. He would have to go back 'there'. It had been years, but he needed answers. And if anyone had helped him then 'he' would.

"Naruto," Slay said making up his mind. "Why don't you go home. There's something I need to check out."

"What's that?" Naruto asked as Slay moved with out him.

"I have to go see some... old friends." Slay said taking his leave.

Slay made sure he was far enough away that Naruto wouldn't see him. He placed his finger in the dirt and made a symbol. Then he bit his thumb and dropped some blood on the symbol. It glowed red and a portal opened up. He stepped out and fell threw the portal. With in a few seconds he stood in a round room with no walls. Large white pillars kept the roof up. Out of the room was nothing but darkness and a long path that led to a large Castles.

As he started down the path a man in armor stood at the end. His armor was gold and a sword he caries was silver.  When Slay came closer he held up his blade. Seeing it was Slay he put the sword away.

"Been many years sense I've seen you." He said as the gates behind him opened.

"I had wished I never had to come back." Slay told the guard.

"Your still angry about the choosing?" The Guard asked.

"My brother went down the wrong path because we forgot him." Slay stated. "I shall always hate this place for driving him away."

Slay moved through the gate and frowned as he looked around. Memories of him, his brother, and their friends running around having fun filled his mind. He missed those days more then anything. Clearing his mind he march forth to see, the creator.

The creator was an undying God. Well, he could die just not of sickness and old age. He was the father of mankind, and many other things. Only he didn't create everything by himself. No his wife was also one who helped make everything. She was known simply as the Maker. Slay had always wondered why these were their names, but never found an answer. Maybe after creating literally everything their creativity dried up and they couldn't think of better names.
