Chapter 44 - The End of Naruto

Ishizu walked towards Naruto's apartment.

He didn't know when it would happen, but he didn't want to miss the departure.

Everything that happened was like he wanted it to be.

Sasuke would start his training with Orochimaru. Ino and Sakura got accepted as students of Tsunade.

One time Ishizu had a crazy idea and even asked Katsuyu the Slug if she would be willing to have a Sage just like the toads.

Unfortunately, she denied my request, explaining that only one could become the Slug Sage and only if he or she was worth it.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the slug otherwise, Ishizu accepted her response.

Of course, Ishizu didn't forget about the other student he had.

Hinata would perfect her Taijutsu during the next years.

Ishizu thought about a way to go to the moon to see if he could acquire Hamura's DNA so he could infuse it to Hinata, awakening the Tenseigan.

That, like any other crazy idea, would take some time, but it was not impossible.

Now the important person was Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto's apartment

Ishizu POV

"Naruto, open the door. Your Sensei wants to talk with you," I slammed at the door.

"Just come in Sensei," Naruto said from the inside.

I opened the door and what I saw I would never forget.

Naruto was drinking calmly his green tea while Jiraiya, one of the strongest Shinobi, was on the ground beaten black and blue.

I slowly turned back to the door: "I think I will come next time."

The door was shut and a Fuinjutsu was placed on it, sealing the house.

I knew I could escape, but what could be so bad?

"Come, Sensei, sit," gestures Naruto to a place across from him.

I looked at him, pitying him for whatever he has done to deserve something like that.

"Don't worry Sensei. If you answer my questions without lying, nothing will happen to you."

I raised an eyebrow at that. "And do tell me would you know if I will lie."

Naruto smiled while pointing at his seal.

"I have an agreement with the Fox," came the response.

I nodded, coming to an answer myself.

"Now Sensei, please tell me who my father is."

I shrugged as the words came out of my mouth: "Your father is Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage as well as Jiraiya's student and my Sensei."

Naruto nodded, knowing it was the truth.

"Please tell me why you never told it to me?" was his next question.

I picked my nose: "I told you that I would tell you if you reach Chunin or 16 years.

By your performance in the Chunin exam, I would definitely place you as a Chunin but as the 3rd Hokage died and the exam was canceled I was bound to my oath to hide it.

If somebody is to blame it, then it is Jiraiya or Tsunade as I am not the Hokage."

Naruto took a sip from the herbal tea: "Can you tell me the reason for keeping such information?"

I wondered why he asked me such questions.

"Well, the first thing was that the 3rd Hokage forbade to tell anyone. It was a well-kept secret, and only a few knew that your mother was pregnant.

Minato-sensei made a lot of enemies during the last war, especially Iwagakure.

The old fossil would definitely rage if he knew that I was the Sensei of the Yellow Flash son.

I am hated by Onoki, but your father had killed over 1000 Shinobi of Iwa in a flash. If Onoki knew you were his son, you would be targeted by assassins non-stop."

Naruto's eyes widened. "So the highter ups thought I would tell everyone that I was the son of the 4th and then I would be hunted, right?"

I nodded.

"That's good. Now Sensei we had this discussion a long while ago and I want to ask you again.

Why did you take blood from me?

The Kyuubi was also questioning it and wouldn't leave me alone. So please tell me."

'That's what you get Ishizu if you teach Naruto reasoning.

He will adapt and be like Minato.

Nothing will escape him.

His ability allowed him to see through lies so I can't back off.

He would lose his trust in me, but would he trust me if I told him the truth?

The only way to get away from an Empath is, to tell the truth, but not everything.

I took a deep breath.

"The reason I took your blood was to strengthen myself," I began telling my story.

"What do you mean by that, Sensei?" asked Naruto.

"Your blood is very special as it contains a certain type of chakra.

I found out about it and I needed it to get stronger so I could reach my goal I have."

I opened my eyes revealing the Rinnegan and looked at Naruto.

"This is the result I got. The fox knows about those eyes so he can tell you more about them."

Deep inside Naruto's mind, Kurama remembered when Ishizu showed him the eyes before.

"Naruto, get him in here!" shouted the Kyuubi.

During the time Naruto was in his mind and not looking at me I took out a special seal from my pocket.

Glancing at Jiraiya, I confirmed that he was out cold and secretly placed the seal on his back behind his hair.

It would be a long time before I would use it but now was the best time to place it.

Naruto then opened his eyes.

"The Kyuubi wants to talk to you. He seems pissed."

I laughed: "No wonder. I would be pissed too if my father's eyes were on some pathetic human. Let's go."

We both connected our fists and then stood inside Naruto's mind.

A claw was pressed against the cage.

"Human, we had a deal remember? I would help this kid with my chakra and you would tell me how you got those eyes and know my father. Now speak! I demand an answer right now," the fox spoke, remembering he still had the deal with me.

I looked around inside Naruto's mind, not answering the question immediately.

"With those eyes, I can see every chakra present. There are 5 types of charka present here," I explained mysteriosly.

Naruto and the Kyuubi narrowed their eyes, listening.

"Naruto's own charka is the first.

The second one belongs to you, fox.

The thirds belonged to the younger son of the Sage of the Six Paths, Asura Otsutsuki.

The last two are remnants from humans before their death; your parents Kushina and Minato."

The Kyuubi listened and his eyes widened.

"How do you know about Asura?"

I smiled as the truth was complicated.

I knew about him from the series of my old life but I also had a talk with Hagoromo so I went with the second.

"Your father told me personally when I got his eyes.

His spirit visited me and explained to me who he was and who you were."

Naruto looked at us both. Confusion was written on his face.

"Hey, I don't understand a thing. What is so special about those eyes?"

The Kyuubi laughed: "Special? Those eyes were the eyes of my father.

The Sage of the Six Paths.

Don't you dare make fun of him, Naruto."

I looked at Naruto: "The Kyuubi is right.

During the time you killed Mizuki I unconsciously awakened them and met Hagoromo Otsutsuki."

"But why do you need them? I know Dojutsus are powerful, you just had to look at Sasuke with his Sharingan. I bet this Yamamoto has also some kind of special eyes. My question is what is it that you want to achieve?"

I smiled trying not to cring at that last part.

He got to the important part and I would answer like I told many others.

"I want to use them to find my wife.

She is in a place I cannot reach at the moment.

With those eyes, I hope I can get her. I hope you are fine with that answer."

I prayed to whatever God there was that he didn't pry into more of my life.

I don't know why but people often changed the subject if it came to the matter of love.

Naruto nodded: "I will ask you about it later if it is not the right time."

Before Ishizu left, the Kyuubi asked me one last question.

"Human, tell me, you have met my father he would have told you about us and my name, right?"

Naruto got curious as he stopped and listened.

Shukaku the One Tails almost said it to him when he fought Gaara but the Kyuubi was very mad that he even threw trees at the tanuki to shut him up.

"I remember hearing you scream it when you fought Naruto once."

"Really, that happened?" asked Naruto, not remembering that time.

I looked at the fox. "Oh, I know every name of you 9, but I won't tell anyone if you don't deem them worthy.

I promised that Hagoromo."

The Kyuubi nodded and we left.

I opened my eyes.

'I am lucky that they didn't question me further who and how I would get Kaguya back. That's what I would call protagonist luck.'

I glanced at the Sannin.

"Hey Naruto, can you tell me why Jiraiya is in such a state?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya with a disgusting look.

"He got drunk and I wanted to see if I could get some information out of him so I transformed into my mother and asked him a question about my father.

Drunken as he was he didn't even think about lying and told it to me. Well, you see what happened after I found out my father was the Yondaime Hokage."

I was pissed at Jiraiya and jealous.

I wanted to be the one to tell him who his father was, but I was too late.

"Never mind. I heard that you will leave in a few days, am I right?"

Naruto nodded, somehow sad: "Yeah. For about 2 years we will journey through the whole elemental nation. I will miss you sensei."

I laughed. "Oh, don't be sad, Naruto. If I have time, I will summon myself to you.

Also, I still have to show you the next step in the Rasengan."

At that moment, Jiraiya opened his eyes.

"You want him to complete that Jutsu you used when we searched for Tsunade?"

I smiled: "Yes, but there is a side effect that he has to overcome."

Training ground 43

Naruto and Jiraiya stood a few meters away for me to show them the technique.

I knew that Naruto already did the next step of the Rasengan in his 3-tails mode, but he was unaware of it.

"Naruto, you already managed to infuse wind chakra into the Rasengan but what would happen if you put more into it?"

Their confused looks made me continue.

"Well, I will show you."

I made a Rasengan and infused it with wind style.

"Now, this is your normal Rasengan plus the wind charka. Now see what happens when I add more.

But before that, I have to get some help as I am still not ready to do it without help."

Doing the summoning jutsu, I summoned Tau, who would help me once again.

"Ah, brother Ishizu. How nice to see you again," greeted Tau, trying to have a nice conversation, but unfortunately, I had summoned him for better things.

This panda always wanted to talk about things that were not important right now.

"Not now Tau. I need some chakra."

Tau signed, shaking his head: "Always chakra this, chakra that.

You should sometimes relax and enjoy the wonders of life and eat some dumplings."

"He sounds like Kakashi," murmured Naruto while Jiraiya agreed with a nod.

I ignored the panda as I infused more and more wind chakra into the Rasengan, and it turned into the Rasenshuriken.

"This Naruto is the next step: Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.

The only problem with this jutsu is that you have to touch your opponent just like the normal one but in doing so the tiny wind blades inside the Rasengan will also hit your arm, damaging it on a molecular level.

If you use it too much, you will lose the ability to move your arm."

Jiraiya frowned at this negative effect.

Why would he use something with that drawback?

I smirked seeing Jiraiya's face, knowing why he didn't like it.

"However, there is a way to get rid you that side effect. By throwing it and that is accomplished by using Sage Mode."

General POV

The panda sighted as he knew what was going to happen.

Tau put his paw on Ishizu's right shoulder and Ishizu's face changes.

It was still very risky for Ishizu to use Senjutsu, but for a demonstration, it would do.

"Now, here we go: Panda Senpo: Wind Style Rasenshuriken."

Ishizu threw the massive Rasengan into the air where it exploded in a bright flash and a big boom. Ishizu took deep breaths in and out after that, still having trouble maintaining the chakra control over such a jutsu.

At least he didn't fall uncouncious.

"If you can master Sage Mode, you will be able to do more than one," huffed Ishizu. Naruto was amazed by that Jutsu. Already having images of him throwing many of them.

He would have to talk with Jiraiya about this during their training.

"So you haven't finished it, Sensei?" asked a curious Naruto.

Ishizu shook his head in denial.

"Then let us make a race.

The one who will be the first to do it will be Hokage."

Ishizu laughed: "Sure, I don't care."

Then Tsunade, Kakashi and 4 Anbu's arrived.

"What the hell happened here? We got information that a massive Jutsu was used. Was it one of you?" asked the Hokage angry.

Naruto, Jiraiya as well as Tau pointed their fingers at Ishizu.

"You traitors! I show you my awesome Jutsu and you betray me? And you too, Tau?" cried Ishizu, not believing he was betrayed so easily but them.

Tsunade used the moment of betrayal and shock as she gave Ishizu an uppercut.

The Rinnegan user flew into the air and lost consciousness.

"You also won't leave before all of you give me a complete description of what happened."

Tau just smiled before dissapearing.

"Hai, baa-san/ Hai Tsunade-hime."

After Ishizu woke up, Tsunade questioned him what kind of Jutsu he used. Ishizu explained, and Tsunade banned it immidiatly to be used inside of Konoha and classified it as an S-rank Jutsu.

Outside of Konoha's gate.

"Ishizu-sensei you just wait. After two years I will be stronger than ever."

Ishizu laughed: "I don't question that. We will meet each other during your journey. I wish you luck."

Before Ishizu left, he whispered to Naruto to meet him on his father's head before leaving.

Naruto waited for Jiraiya and told him he had something important to do.

On the head of the 4th Hokage.

"So what do you want, Sensei?" asked Naruto as he came closer to his sensei.

Ishizu smiled at Naruto.

"I remember that I did not give you a present for becoming Chunin.

Even though you were not given it officially because of the invasion, I still see you as a Chunin.

My present should have been telling you about your father but that super pervert beat me to it. That is why I will give you another more valuable present."

Ishizu made 4 hand signs and two coffins appeared. Both were Uzumaki symbols.

Naruto knew this jutsu seeing it in the forbidden scroll.

"Sensei, this is a forbidden Jutsu."

Ishizu smiled at the reaction of Naruto. He was not the only one who viewed this jutsu as one of the bad ones.

"People think that Edo Tensei is an evil Jutsu as you bring back the dead to let them fight, but a jutsu is neither evil nor good. It all depends on how you use it, and nobody uses it as I do.

To let those who couldn't see their loved one do it now."

The coffins opened and revealed two redheads, Naruto's mother, Kuchina Uzumaki, and Mito Uzumaki, the Shodaime's wife.

The moment Kushina saw Naruto she ran to him and hugged him, recognizing her son.

Mito looked at Ishizu: "Why have you summoned me for?"

Ishizu shrugged: "Seeing Kushina how she suffocates her child?

I thought you want to come out and see this heart-filling scene. I don't know how the other world is but seeing a reunion between a mother and a child will melt even your heart."

Mito only shook her head: "Using this jutsu for such things. I cannot say that it is wrong."

Mito turned to Kushina how saw the child turning blue: "That is enough, Kushina. You are suffocating your child."

Kushina shook her head: "I don't care. I am finally able to see my son and being in control of my body.

That reminds me."

Kushina let go of Naruto, who was happy for breathing again, and jumped at Ishizu.

The sudden attack by the former Jinchuriki made the man take a step back.

"Let me go? What have I done to you?"

Then Kushina hugged him, freezing Ishizu in place.

The Shinobi forgot how nice it was to get a hug from his mother.

Then Kushina hit him on his head.

"Au! Why did you hit me?"

"Never attack your mother ever again, am I clear?"

Ishizu cringed and nodded quickly, knowing that one should always agree with an Uzumaki even if they were wrong as they were always right no matter what.

This was not something told by Kushina, but rather by Minato.

Naruto, who was unconscious during that time, asked Ishizu what had happened.

Ishizu smiled weakly: "I might have thrown a Rasenshuriken at Kushina."

Naruto was taken aback at this situation.

"And why would you do that?"

Now all eyes were on Ishizu.

That latter frowned as he stood up and pointed at the three: "Hey, don't look at me like that.

What should I do if I was faced with an angry Uzumaki with Adamantium Chains who has unlimited chakra and wants to kill me? I end it with one move."

Kushina hit Ishizu again: "You don't throw such attacks at your mother, no matter if I want to kill you or not."

Ishizu felt like he got a concussion.

That is why he feared Uzumaki's.

He could not imagine Minato surviving it.

Maybe being in the stomach of the Shinigami had something good.

"Ishizu can you bring back my father?" Naruto asked, trying to diffuse the situation.

Ishizu shook his head in denial: "That is impossible right now.

Your father's soul is in the stomach of the Shinigami, so he is safe from your mother."

The last part should have been muttered, but he forgot.

This earned him a glare from the young Uzumaki.

"When I fought Orochimaru he tried to summon your father but before the coffin could come out a hand took it back."

Kushina hit Ishizu again. "I know that you are hiding something. I can feel it."

'Damit woman. Do you want to kill me? Stop hitting me,' w.h.i.n.ed Ishizu in his mind.

Ishizu sighted: "Yes, it is possible to bring him back."

Naruto shouted: "Tell us Ishizu-sensei!"

Ishizu looked at Naruto: "You have to find the mask of the Shinigami, put it on your face and slash your stomach.

Everything you do, the Shinigami will do, but I don't know if you can survive that."

Naruto looked sad at that statement.

"I will find it Naruto, don't worry."

After that Naruto and Kushina had some small talk with Mito and after that Ishizu de-summoned them.

"If something happens to my child, I will come back from the dead and gut you. Are we clear, Ishizu-chan?" Kuchina said with a demon smile before she went inside the coffin.

Ishizu gulped, but reassured her that he would keep her son safe.

"Don't worry Naruto. I will find a way to bring both of your parents back, I swear," said Ishizu as the coffins were gone.

With that ended the Naruto series.

Naruto and Jiraiya left but before that, Ishizu gave him secretly a scroll so he could summon himself to him if he ever needed so time to talk.

Ishizu told Tsunade that he will also leave to train with the pandas. She agreed if I would give her a monthly report.

Now Ishizu stood again in the same place where he once summoned Tau.

'Ram'>'Monkey'>'Bird'>'Dog'>'Boar' Reverse summoning Jutsu.

With that, Ishizu was gone to *DD* to train and get as strong as possible.

The future unknown.
