52 Journey to Find the Godaime

Kibo returned home, he was captured by his mother and hugged tightly, "Mom." Kibo held on to her and continued to cry, Sachi was told about the death and she too joined them. After a few hours of this, he met up with Naruto, Minato, and Kushina; they had rooms prepared for them and were treated with the upmost respect, in fact Minato even knew his father and grandfather, he once offered to seal the Star Fragment of Hoshi for them, but was refused.

He learned a little about their history after his death, and was surprised by Kibo's talent. When Kushina learned that Naruto was adopted by them, she hugged Niwa and thanked her while crying, Niwa patted her on the back and said, "It's fine, it was joy to have Naruto as a son, I'm going to be a little sad to see him go." Kushina cried harder, "Thank you; and you can always consider Naruto as a son, we won't mind." Kibo wanted to smile but couldn't, he tried to sleep that night however he just couldn't.

Two days later the funeral held and turned out to be a large event, Kibo realized over half of the villagers had come, Karin was allot like her mother, she went around helping the villagers with their health problems, because of this she had touched the lives of almost everyone in the village. Karin's smile could light up the lives of anyone who saw her, especially the people she healed.

It was raining that day, Kibo stood at the front with holding Sachi's hand and was surrounded by his family and the rest of Team 7, Kibo stood still trying to think of a way to bring her back, if he could reach the level of God he could perform the technique without consequences or the sacrifices, when suddenly Suzaku who had the most powerful soul out of her 3 siblings and also being the most knowledgeable of matters pertaining to the soul said"Kibo it takes a long time to become a god, in that time her Soul may have already reincarnated, it would be impossible to revive her then, even if you were a god and pulled the soul out of her new body, it wouldn't be the same Karin but the persona formed from her new life."

Kibo thought that if he could somehow get someone to revive her through the Edo Tensei, but even then he still wouldn't be able to resurrect her, because if he was the one who initiated the process the world wouldn't view it a virtuous action, rather it would consider that his actions were made from his own selfish reason, there would be no positive Karma to fuel the technique, Orochimaru was nothing more than a chance he took advantage of, and the only people left that knew the Edo Tensei were Madara, and Tobirama, and he doubted that Madara would bring back Karin for the 4th Shinobi war.

Kibo felt the last tears shedding from his eyes as he had made up his mind. After he healed his main body, he would leave the village and start building his Immortal Village. He would do so alone; all he had left to do was tie off some loose ends left in this place, Kibo stayed to the end of the ceremony and headed to meet up with Jiraiya.

When he arrived he saw the old man at the training grounds reminiscing about his earlier years, when Kibo called out, his name before saying "We'll leave in three days, until then stay close to Naruto." Kibo said with a serious expression, Jiraiya nodded his head as he watched Kibo leave. Kibo then headed to the Training cave, although he couldn't access his system shop, Kibo could still take the reward that he got for completing the hidden quest.

He picked off a piece of his dragon, and phoenix tears and absorbed a fist sized chunk into his body, even though this was a total waste like adding a battery power to a leaking energy device, the Clones Chakra levels shot through the roof, and although wasn't as strong as Kibo's main body, it was strong enough to act in his place.

He landed at the cave and called out to the 3 Perma-Clones he left here, when they arrived he informed them of the situation, after their shock, he tossed them a small piece of the dragon and phoenix tear that helped them each grow stronger as he tore the S-Rank Jutsu ticket.

He heard a chime in his head saying "Please Imagine the Technique you wish to learn." Kibo thought that using a ticket was similar to how the profession relics work, when he chose a more perfect version of Hiruko's Chimera Technique, he could still use the technique in the same manner that Hiruko does, but unlike the original Chimera Jutsu, he wouldn't need to absorb the entire person to gain their Kekkei Genkai. Kibo could do it through blood alone, because of his depth knowledge of atoms and genetics he could splice the information pertaining to a bloodline's ability directly into his genes.

Although it may require a large amount of blood, it wouldn't be enough to kill the target, and he wasn't really interested in absorbing random Kekkei Genkai as he could already use all six elements, the only ones he would be interested in were ones with unique abilities like the white snake's regeneration; other than that he had one singular target in mind for this technique, and that was Hiruko.

He would absorb him and make him suffer the same pain Karin experienced.He even thought it might be possible that if the Chimera Technique also absorbed the soul, maybe he could reform Karin's body and make her whole again. He remembered that Hiruko stated the memories and consciousness of everyone he had ever absorbed was within him, maybe it's like they're all inside the same car, but only he can drive. Maybe Karin wasn't really dead.

Kibo watched as the clones absorbed the energy from the Chakra Crystals than used the Chimera technique to absorb the clones rather than disperse them. The Kibo-Clone once again grew in power, he was close to his main body's strength now, and wouldn't have to worry about fading out from combat. It appeared that through the use of the Chimera technique he could slowly absorb the memories rather that do it all at once though the use of dispersing the Shadow Clone, so it lessened the strain on his mind substantially.

It took him 3 hours to fully digest the large quantity of information that entered his body, he now mastered the 2nd and 3rd stances of the Soaring Phoenix Martial Art, the two techniques were called Blazing Phoenix Kick, and Blazing Phoenix Storm. Blazing Phoenix Kick was a single concentrated fire attack that can attach whatever of the 7 colored flames that he had mastered, and Blazing Phoenix Storm was a flurry of these kicks made at supersonic speeds.

He also mastered 2 new flames, the crimson red flames, and yellow spring flames, the Crimson Flames of Hades was highly destructive and burned for 7 days similar to the Amaterasu fire, while the yellow spring flames were capable of nourishing the land, and one's body as it was a healing flame. Kibo found it amusing how a fire could help a plant grow, instead of wither, but the Suzaku said "The sun nurture the land, and it is a mass of fire, it's not so strange when you think of it that way." Kibo laughed and countered with "Okay but your Ice Fire is still crazy."

The last ability he mastered was Seiryu's Gen-Jutsu Empty World, he could now pull people into a blank world and battle their consciousness, they could die multiple times in this Gen-Jutsu, but the looser would suffer after repeated deaths, and if they lost enough, it could shatter a person's psyche, leaving them defenseless and in a vegetative state.

Kibo left after checking out his world fragment, according to Navi, he could use it on a Chakra beast to help it survive a tribulation and it would greatly also strengthen their powers. Kibo then left and returned home, he spent the next few days' morning the loss of his loved one.

When the day came for him to leave, he asked if Minato, and Kushina would come as well, it would be hard to convince her otherwise, he could mention that her grandfather and grandmother were amongst the living again, but he didn't think she would believe him without any proof.

Minato and Kushina agreed, when Naruto asked to come as well. Kibo nodded his head and agreed, when it came time to leave Kibo said he had one last thing to take care of.

[Quest Defeat the Akatsuki members at the outskirts of Konoha! Reward: 1 Teleportation Relic!]

Kibo vanished and reappeared at the front of Konoha's gates, he looked far into the distance and saw to people wearing black coats with red clouds on them, Kibo recognized the two of them as Gengo, and Kisame.

Kisame was a very tall, muscular Shinobi, he had a distinctive shark-like appearance, complete with pale, blue skin in , small round white eyes, 3 sets of curved facial markings under his eyes, and sharp triangular teeth. He also styled his blue hair in the form of a shark fin mohawk. Gengo was a few inches shorter than Kisame, his long brown hair was put in a high tied ponytail, and his beard ran along the full frame of his face, his skin was slightly tan, and he carried himself with a hint of sophistication.

"So, Gengo joined the Akatsuki instead of taking over the land of silence." Kibo thought as he began his assault, a loud sonic boom occurred as Kibo shot forward using his Blazing Phoenix Step and Kick, a trail of fire shot out behind him as he aimed his kick towards Gengo's head.

Kisame saw him approaching, and he got in the way by swinging Samehada the sharkskin sword. Kibo didn't slow down, his leg caught fire making Kisame smile, "Fool my Samehada can absor. . . "

Before he could finish Samehada bent back avoiding Kibo's foot, as the kicked landed another sonic boom occurred centered around the bottom of his foot, all the flames that had gathered, shot off carried by the shock wave morphing into a concentrated fire beam. Gengo entire upper body was blown off, all that was left was half of a burnt corpse.

"That may be, but my fire has nothing to do with Chakra, you can call it a Tai-Jutsu fire, or natural flame." What was left of the dead Gengo fell on to the ground, making Kisame whistle, he looked at Kibo and said, "You body broke the sound barrier and moved so fast it created friction in the air, igniting your entire leg in flames. Once the attack landed you somehow directed the sonic boom from the attack you created to carry the flames off of your body and concentrate it into a powerful non Chakra fire attack."

Kibo smiled and said, "You are a combat genius; it's shame you're so misguided. Do you really think that fool's world of truth is real? It's an illusion the very definition of lie! You know what is real, this world, here and now." Kisame was shocked at how much Kibo knew, when Kibo continued "You're pathetic, a waste of a good ninja."

Kibo kicked out creating another Blazing Phoenix kick at Kisame, Kisame jumped back and started to move his hands, "Water Release; Water Shark Bullet Technique!" A giant shark made of glowing potent water Chakra charged towards Kibo's attack, the fire and water collided causing a massive explosion of steam that could melt skin off of bone. Kibo used his Blazing Phoenix Step and shot at Kisame.

"Blazing Phoenix Kick." This time Kibo added his crimson flames to the attack, Samehada started shivering when Kisame noticed it was scared he decided to stop testing the waters, he fused with Samehada and created his infamous giant water prison, Kibo didn't panic as he smiled at the shark-man in front of him.

Kibo cloaked his body in the crimson flames and shouted, Blazing Phoenix Storm!" Dozens of kicks shot out in less than a second, the sonic booms echoed thought out the water as the giant bubble exploded in a flash of vapor; Kisame was knocked through dozens of trees making him vomit up a small pool of blood.

Samehada was screeching in pain, as the crimson fire started to crawl on to it, Kisame pulled his mangled body up and managed to perform a water bullet technique as he tried to douse Kibo's flames. Kibo watched as he saw that Kisame's water had no effect, grasping his hand in a fist, Kibo retracted the fire and forced it to dissipate.

He moved forward and said, "This is real life, yes it is filled with deception, but it is also filled with truth. Kisame I will give you two choices. One, follow me and I promise that I will use you to your fullest potential, and I give you my word I will never ask you to lie, nor lie to you."

Kisame looked tempted when he asked "If I chose not to." Kibo pulled out the Sword of Kusanagi that he took from the corpse of Orochimaru's Bio-Clone. With a lighting fast draw from his sword he said, "You die here at the edge of my blade." Kisame looked to him and saw no lie in his eye, "Get it over with." Kibo sighed and nodded his head, with a quick pull of his hand he severed Kisame's head and picked up the Samehada, at first the sword was going to resist, but as soon as Kibo swung the sword it cried out in joy. Kibo was using the 1st master of Samehada techniques, then the seconds, all the way to Kisame's style.

Kibo smiled and said, "This is your last chance Kisame."
