Naruto & Gohan: Legends Will Rise

Saviour

Just a quick addition before the chapter begins. For Mirai Trunks I will be changing his hair to blue like it was in Super. Solely because I think it looks cool. Kid Trunks will have his hair stay as purple though.

Also, this chapter is mainly to clarify a few things about Minato and Mirai. I feel like I did a really bad job explaining things so I'm going to dedicate this chapter just to that. This chapter will progress the plot still though.

A blue haired man walked through an unfamiliar forest. He had a sword strapped to his back and a denim jacket on over a black muscle shirt. He walked without a care in the world.

Finally Trunks was in a place of relative peace. He had no world-ending threats to deal with, no androids were left in existence. He was happy. For the most part.

Ever since Trunks had been merged into Minato's body he had let the Konoha-native be the dominant personality. Trunks wasn't about to take somebody's life away when it was barely beginning. Instead Trunks kept to himself.

Minato knew of Trunks, and could access all of the man's memories. That was a major reason for Minato's lust for peace. Unlike Trunks -and even Jiraiya- though, Minato didn't want world peace. Not that it wasn't his ultimate goal, but he wanted to keep the people he cared about and his village safe before anything.

Trunks looked at the artificial sky that Minato's mind made, a sad look on his face. The half-Saiyan then closed his eyes.

Minato stood on a mountain, a large sealing matrix in front of him as a large, dark colored orb flew towards him. There was a large nine tailed fox across from Minato, it's mouth open.

Trunks shook his head.

'Minato, let me help' He told the blond.

'Trunks, "I can handle this.' Minato said. Trunks was okay to have in his head sometimes, but whenever there was a large scale fight the blue haired time traveller wanted to take over and it irked Minato something fierce.

'I won't take over, just take some of my ki and mix it with the sealing matrix, otherwise it'll break and the Kyuubi will kill everyone.' Trunks told the man. Truthfully Trunks wanted to take control and fight the kyuubi one-on-one, just to get a stretch in.

Minato grunted but listened to Trunks. If there was one thing that the Saiyan was good for it was battle planning.

'Fine' Minato instinctively drew upon some of Trunks' ki, a blue aura erupting around him as the Bijudama slammed into his seal, pushing against it until it nearly slammed into the Hokage, but with a shout of effort Minato strengthened the barrier and the large ball exploded off in the distance.

Minato caught his breath as the kyuubi looked at him with a mix of respect, hatred, and surprise.

Then he launched a second Bijudama.

Minato groaned and jumped towards the beast, his hair growing slightly and a golden aura surrounding him.

'Trunks, I need your power now!' Minato screamed mentally, forming a Rasengan that grew until it dwarfed the Bijudama, he swung the ball of chakra and ki into the biju's attack and a large explosion occurred, destroying much of the evacuated village beneath them.

Trunk was watching, hoping to fight even though he knew he wouldn't get to. He watched Minato go Super Saiyan, a feat that the time traveller wasn't sure was possible. Maybe they were more merged than Trunks thought.

Minato flew through the destruction and slammed the Rasengan into Kyuubi's face, sending the large beast to the ground. He landed and touched the Kyuubi, both suddenly appearing several miles away.

Kushina was there with Naruto.

"I've gotta seal it." Minato said to her. They debated but eventually Minato convinced his wife to help him seal the kyuubi inside of Naruto.

Trunks watched as Minato began going through hand seals, moving towards using a jutsu that Trunks knew of. Minato had never done it before, no one alive had -because the price of this jutsu wasn't chakra, it was a soul. The Reaper Death Seal activated and Trunks readied himself. He wasn't sure if he could go to otherworld now, would his soul be offered along with Minato's? They were connected but not the same entity.

'Sorry Gohan, Mom, Dad. I guess i won't see you guys ever again.' Trunks thought as he closed his eyes. When he felt Minato die he braced himself, but death never came.

He opened his eyes and saw the reaper. It was wearing a black cloak and it's face wasn't visible, only purple eyes that glowed with ancient energy.

"Trunks Briefs." The reaper said, "I am Thanatos, one of the three gods of death that rule over the reapers. I have ordered your soul to be saved."

"Why?" Trunks asked, his hand twitching, ready to go to his sword and fight.

"You are needed, however you must also find a way to recreate your body and that is something I cannot help you with. Just know that as a spirit you will not be attacked by any reapers, unless they are rogue, in which case you'll have to figure that out on your own." Thanatos then faded away, "Good luck, Mirai"

Trunks' eyes widened, the only people who called him Mirai were the Z-Fighters. Why would a god call him by that name?

Trunks saw the forest around him fading, then found himself in an actual forest, looking down on Minato and Kushina's dead bodies, with Naruto crying in his mother's arms. A tear fell from Trunks' eye as he saw the baby, who had his blood -kind of, the fusion was strange in that way- lay there helpless. He went to pick Naruto up but his hands passed right through, but Naruto stopped crying and looked right at Trunks, a smile appearing.

Trunks felt Hiruzen approaching and left, Naruto would be fine.

LINEBREAK

I know this chapter was both short and late. Originally this was going to be the last chapter for this part of the story but I was trying to turn Legend of the Stone of Gelel from movie into print without using Naruto and it was really hard, so I scrapped that and decided to publish this instead. You guys will still get another chapter on Wednesday, featuring Sasuke, Lee, Suigetsu (Who, incase you guys forgot -Cuz I did :p- has been part of the Leaf village since after Wave, and Hiro (Sakura's boyfriend from the chapters that took place in the capital).

Anyways, I hope I cleared up a little bit of confusion in regards to Trunks and Minato. If you guys have any other questions send thehm to me in a PM (or as a review if you're a guest) and I'll answer at the top of next chapter (Or the chapter after I get the question) or I'll reply to your PM.

THANKS FOR READING :D
