47 God?

POV Itachi

 "Raijin ... don't die" I say looking at my friend, who is dying in my hands

"He died saving someone else, the same weakness as Hashirama" I hear Madara say with contempt, as she walks away, not deigning another look. But I don't care if he thinks I'm an ant, what I want to do is find a way to save Raijin, I can't bear the death of a friend without me being able to do anything, not like with Shisui.

 I get up, pick up Raijin, and head to the shinobi alliance group, where I can see Tsunade and the other Kage, as well as Kakashi and Guy.

 "Hokage-sama, you have to save him," I say urgently, as I run desperately to her

 "Let me take a look," Tsunade says, taking Raijin in her arms as she uses her medical arts

 "There is no vital energy in him, and as if it had been completely drained ..." she says with a sad look

 Damn, not again, I can't take this experience again

 "WAIT ... I can hear it, but it's too faint, I can heal the external wound, but it's up to him to resist so that that little spark doesn't disappear" she says anxiously in her voice

 "He will do it, Raijin, he always has a way to get by, he will do it again this time" I say with confidence and hope, looking towards Tsunade, who nods at me and begins the treatment

 "What do we do with Madara?"  Raikage asks

 "We have to wait for the return of Sasuke and Naruto, Obito says he has a way to make them stronger, in order to beat Madara" says Kakashi

 "Obito is not what we fought against, how do you know we can trust him now?"  says the Raikage, yelling at Kakashi

 "It's the only choice we have left, or you have another plan" says Kakashi with a frown towards the Raikage

 "Well, we can only hope that Madara wants to play with us, if not, we're dead in less than a second" I tell him as I approach

 … ..

 POV Raijin

 It's all black, I can't see anything, I don't want to go back to that immense black space.

 "... is there a light?"  I say as I try to open my eyes, and once open, I only see a blank space

 "I no longer feel pain, am I dead? Have I returned to God?"  I tell myself in a sad voice

 "I'm not God, even if some call me that" I hear a voice behind me say

 I turn to see who has spoken, and see an old man floating in the air, dressed in white, with two renegans, and a red eye in the center of his forehead.

 "who are you?"  I ask, although I can very well imagine who the figure in front of me is

 "I am what you Ninja call the Rikudou Sennin, but my name is Hagoromo tsutsuki" he says with a stoic voice.

 "What am I doing here, am I not dead?"  I say, knowing that I have suffered a serious injury

 "You are not dead yet, at this moment Tsunade, he is healing you, but he will not be able to save you, that wound is too serious, for his abilities" he says looking into my eyes, perhaps to see my reaction, but I am quite calm, perhaps  because I'm already dead, so I'm not afraid of dying, what I'm sorry, and not having more time to be with my friends.

 "You are a strange creature.  You managed to elementaryize your whole body, making you a lightning bolt in flesh and blood "he compliments, nodding towards me.

 "What am I doing here, if I'm dying, I have no role in this battle, why stay here?"

 "You're right, even without you, with the help of Sasuke and Naruto, this battle will go to the right path."  He tells me in an indifferent voice

 But before I can ask him the reason for my presence, he continues to speak "but if you want, I can make you go back, but there is a condition for this to happen.  And it's up to you to decide "

 "can I go back? .... What is the condition?"  I ask him, with expectation

 "Well, there are two steps, in the first step, you have to ... Die"

 "I'm dying anyway, but I'm not going back as a zombie, am I?"  I ask with disgust

 "no, don't worry, you won't be a zombie. You won't be dead, but you won't be alive" he says with cryptic words, which I don't understand

 "what does it mean?"  I ask

"As I said earlier, your elementalization technique is really good, but your body is still made of flesh, bone and blood. What I am proposing to you is to use the Nature Chakra, thus making you something that is beyond a normal living being  . As long as the Chakra exists, you too will exist, you will become the living personification of the natural Lightning Chakra. But by doing so you will live forever, seeing your friends die, while you cannot. "

 "I accept, as you said, Naruto and Sasuke can do it, but it doesn't mean that there are no victims. But with me there, everything changes" I say looking at him with a determined look

 "as you like, let's start" he says with a smile

 ....

 POV Kakashi

 Damn, he's destroying us, he's only fighting us with one hand, but he still manages to beat us all by himself.  Before he was at a higher level than ours, but now, we are worse than the ants, in his eyes of him.

 "We can't go on like this, it can kill us at any moment. Where are Naruto and Sasuke?"  the Raikage says, fearfully in his voice

 "I don't know" I say, as I see Madara piercing the Tsuchikage's shoulder with a finger

 "Kakashi, there's only one way, I can slow him down, or hope to hurt him," Guy says looking at me with a straight face, one I've never seen in my life

 "Guy, you don't want to ..."

 "yes, it's time for the red beast to make him roar," he says seriously

 But before he can say anything that can change his mind, I feel the ground shake, the dust begins to rise, as if gravity no longer exists.  And blue lightning begins to fall on the ground, even if the sky is still clear

  "thing?"  I say surprised at the change taking place in front of me, before I hear a sound, which resounds loud as thunder

 "MEOW!!!!!!!"

 "what's that noise?"  I ask surprised, but then I see Itachi smile, towards Tsunade's direction, as he says "that's the roar we've been waiting for
