Kur stood on the stone bust of the Fourth Hokage surrounded by his siblings. Saya had her head bowed, still ashamed about what she had done earlier. "Good evening, everyone," Kur greeted. "Good evening, One," his siblings said in unison. Kur turned around and stepped down from the burst. "It's time for us to discard our cloaks and show them the power of the unsung hero of this disrespectful village," he announced. His six siblings nodded.

"About time. We were getting tired of acting," Akuma muttered. Ukah tightened his cloak around his body. "Are we sure that we really want to do this? We aren't sure if we want to do this," he muttered.

Saya smiled sympathetically and hugged his smaller brother. "That is doubt waning itself into our heart. Do not allow it to do so. It will affect us all," she cooed. Ukah nodded slowly and looked up. "Alright, we're a little better. Thank you, sister," he said softly.

Saya pulled away and smiled. "As touching as this is...may we get on with it? The longer we stay up here, the more likely that someone will catch us," one of the unnamed siblings, this one a male, asked. Kur looked up at the unnamed sibling and nodded. "We are right, Maro. Let us reveal to them the faces of the unsung hero," Kur said. "Brother, if we may?" another one of his siblings inquired. "Speak our mind, Ko," Kur said.

"We suggest that we summon Soul," Ko answered. Kur nodded slowly. "And why that?" he asked. "We both know that we want to summon Soul. Gaara wishes for Soul and we wish it too," Ko said calmly. "While we do want Soul, I am not sure if we really should?" Saya said. All eyes snapped onto Saya. "Speak," Kur ordered.

"When we fought the Haruno girl, we felt it. That is the reason for us having our emotions run high," Saya said. "Heartbreak of our Soul," Ko hummed, receiving a nod from Saya. "We felt it. There was a spike of emotion earlier," Ukah muttered.

Kur hummed. "Interest. We must look into this matter," he muttered. "What are you guys still doing in your cloak? I'd thought that you would have discarded them by now," Gaara said as he walked up to the group with Irie hovering behind him. The seven siblings bowed their heads. "Kazekage," they greeted in unison. Gaara nodded. "Now, off with the cloaks," he ordered.

As soon as the order was given, Kur and his siblings gripped onto their cloaks and tossed them into the air. Kur wore a white sage-like robe underneath his cloak with three large rings on both of his arms. Ko wore a deep indigo Changshan with a pair of lighter slippers, his eyes were a pupil purple.

A tattoo of a third eye was placed on his forehead. Akuma wore a sleeveless blue shirt, a pair of light blue pants, and his eye had turned to a bright, brilliant blue. Saya had changed into a green earthy dress with a brown lining, her eyes were now a glowing green.

Ugal wore a high collared yellow jacket with gray pants and a set of glowing yellow eyes. Ukah wore an orange kimono-like top with a pair of orange pants. Maro wore a loose red top with a pair of lighter red pants, two dots were placed on his forehead right above a pair of glowing red eyes.

Gaara looked over the siblings and nodded. "Better. Now, what is the plan from here on out?" he inquired. Kur adjusted his mask with his wooden hand in thought. "We are split on the matter of our Soul. We are unsure, sir," he said. "You seven have not figured it out?" Gaara asked slightly annoyed.

"Apologizes, but the reason we are who we are is to preserve Soul," Kur said. "I know that, but I want him back in my life," Gaara said. "And we too," Saya said. "Than what is the issue?" Gaara asked. All seven looked at each other. "Call Irie," Kur ordered.

A mini tornado appeared next to Gaara and Irie appeared. "Don't bother, I was listening," she said. Kur nodded and looked at Gaara. "Sir," he said. Gaara nodded before he pulled out a scroll and rolled it out. The Kazekage bit his thumb and smeared a bit of his blood onto the scroll.

A puff of smoke appeared around the scroll. The seven siblings watched as a wooden sarcophagus appeared out of the smoke. Kur clapped his hands together and slammed his hands on the ground. "Seven Chakras Technique: Gate of Union," he said.

A multi-colored gate appeared of out the ground and all seven siblings began to glow with their respective colors. " Maro, we are first," Kur said. Maro nodded before he walked towards the gate. "We will see you soon as one, siblings," he said before he stepped through the gate and he turned into a glowing ball of red energy.

Next, Ukah stepped forward. "We cannot wait to be one once more," he said softly before he stepped through the gate and turned into a glowing orange ball.

Each one of the siblings stepped through the gate, each one turning into a ball of energy of their respective color till Kur was left. "Sahasrara, thank you," Gaara said softly.

Kur chuckled as he grabbed his wooden arm. "We enjoyed our time as different entries, but that time has ended. We will see you as one," he said before he handed his wooden arm to Gaara and stepped into the gate.

Sahasrara turned into a glowing purple ball of energy and all seven floated towards the contraption and disappeared into it. "Well, it's time for us to go too," Irie said as and Kikumi stepped forward. Gaara nodded. "You are his chakra after all. He would not function without you," he said softly.

Irie grinned before she ran into the gate and came out the other end as blue chakra. "I might not like you, but you one of the many things that make up one person. Kikumi," Gaara said as he looked down at the small red fox.

The fox snorted before it ran towards the gate and came out the other end as red chakra. Gaara watched as both chakras disappeared into the contraption and sighed. "Last but not least. Shinkirō, you're finally getting your wish," Gaara said as two malicious eyes appear out of his shadow.

"About time, I didn't want to do this in the first place," it snorted before an amorphous figure stepped out of Gaara's shadow. "Just don't do anything stupid once you are one again," Gaara warned. "Wouldn't dream of it," the figure hummed as it stepped into the gate and came out the other side as a dark energy.

"All seven chakras, his wind chakra, Kyuubi's chakra, and his dark chakra are all in one. It's time," Gaara said as the gate vanished and he stepped forward. "And finally the final piece to the soul. The chakra of a friend," the Kazekage said as he raised his hand and slowly brought his hand towards the wooden figure.

"Gaara, what are you doing?" a voice interrupted him. "You were asking Kur about Naruto, Tsunade?" Gaara said calmly as he turned around to see the Hokage and a group of Naruto's former classmates. "Yeah," Tsunade said slowly. Gaara turned towards the wooden sarcophagus and slowly placed his hand on it.

Different colored chakras flowed through the wooden sarcophagus and cracks began to form. Lights began to shine through the coffin. "Well, here he is," Gaara said before the sarcophagus shattered completely.

A multitude of colors in the form of a body fell from the shattered remains of the sarcophagus and an unconscious Naruto was caught by a kneeling Gaara. Tsunade stared at the two Jinchūriki in shock. "H-how? H-how is this possible?" she asked stunned. Gaara didn't answer and stared at his friend. "I thought he was dead," Sakura whispered shocked.

The Konoha shinobi walked towards the two Jinchūriki. Instantly, and shot out of Gaara's gourd and lashed out at them. "Not another step, you guys have done enough to him," the Kazekage growled.

Tsunade stared at the two Jinchūriki and Hinata's gasp was the one thing that broke her out of her daze. The medical ninja looked at Hinata and looked down at Naruto and her eyes widened. Red scars littered Naruto's body, his hair was completely white, both of his arms and the lower half of his body was gone. "W-what happened," Tsunade whispered.

Gaara looked up at the Konoha shinobi with a heated look. "You people did this," he growled.
