Ch24- War III, Kaguya

Yo, me again. This chapter will mainly be here to conclude how it will all end. To do that, I will skip 99% of the fight with Kaguya, only mentioning the few changes.

-------

All the people outside of Sasuke's Susanoo had been trapped inside the infinite Tsukuyomi, an eternal Genjutsu, with only the Edo Tensei remaining outside.

As the moonlight faded, only Team 7, Kakashi, Rin, and Nozomi were remaining to fight against Madara.

However, suddenly a loud scream erupted, as Black Zetsu, who was still controlling Obito, pierced Madara through his heart.

It infused all the chakra collected by the God tree into Madara as his body started growing, almost seeming as if to explode, only to start shrinking back again, forming a new entity.

A woman with white skin and hair, with three eyes, one of them still being kept closed.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Unknown to everyone else, another figure silently appeared and disappeared soon after.

***

As Naruto's clone got impaled by a spike growing out of Kaguya's body, she once again changed the dimension they were in.

This one had an increase in gravity, as all of Naruto's clones disappeared, once they touched the ground after they received too much damage.

While the gravity also affected Kaguya, she was strong enough to shoot out two spikes toward Naruto and Sasuke, intending to kill them.

While both were able to dodge since she failed to aim correctly, a second attack was already underway.

Both Kakashi and Obito were intending to block her attack with their bodies, were however a bit too late.

At that moment, Rin took both of their arms and led them closer. But as she couldn't bear to see both of them die, she jumped in front of Kakashi as she was slightly close to him and wouldn't make it to Obito in time.

Unfortunately, Obito's teleportation didn't make it in time, as the attacks impaled them both with only Kakashi remaining standing.

Rin had underestimated the attack and was unable to block the attack fully as it impaled her, causing her inevitable death, as her body slowly started turning into stone and crumbling into dust.

"RIN, OBITO!"

"Rin, why did you..."

"Shh, I don't belong here. I died twenty years ago and I can't bring myself to come back, it's been too long... say your last words to Kakashi now or you'll regret it."

"Alright..." turning towards Kakashi he addressed his best friend for maybe the last time in his life. "Kakashi, remain here a bit longer. Don't rush to follow us."

"Kakashi, both of us don't belong in this time. We both died over 20 years ago and most of our friends and family are already dead. Not to mention that the allied shinobi forces would never forgive Obito just like this."

As both of them were nearing their deaths, Rin turned around and gave Kakashi a quick peck on the lips.

"Don't you dare think that our deaths are your fault. It is our decision, ours only."

As both of them finally crumbled to dust, tears could be seen in Kakashi's eyes.

***

"Come on Obito, it was only a goodbye kiss. I would have given you one too if I could have. Come here, I'll give you one now instead."

As both of them entered the Pure world, Obito ran up to her and hugged her tightly, refusing to let her go.

"Come on, you can do that later all you want, let's meet the others now."

"Wait for a second, let me go give Kakashi my last gift, I'll be back soon."

Soon after, only Rin remained standing in the white void as multiple people started appearing behind her. "Nice to see you, but let's wait for Obito to have a proper reunion."

It didn't take long for Obito to return. He had used his mangekyo ability to give Kakashi his Sharingan, helping him out one last time.

As he turned around, he noticed multiple people appearing, in the front of them being Kuchina.

"OBITO, COME HERE YOU IDIOT!"

Closing his eyes, he expected a hit to come flying since he did cause her and Minato's death, causing them to be unable to see their son grow up. However, the hit never came, as he felt Kushina's arms tighten around him, pulling him into a hug.

"Hey, it's alright. I forgive you and everyone else does too. You even saved my son, something I will forever be grateful for.

Additionally, he even got a good mum to take care of him, I'm almost jealous."

***

As Naruto and Sasuke resealed Kaguya onto a new forming moon, Hagoromo with the help of the previous Kage summoned all of them back into their dimension.

While Hagoromo talked with them, Hashirama went over to the now dying Madara and talked with him, listening to his dying words and acknowledging that his rival and friend might have been right.

Meanwhile, Nozomi had fallen asleep and was resting on the ground behind the others. However since there was no danger to her safety, she was let to rest.

***

The infinite Tsukuyomi came to an end and everyone was freed and burying the dead was done the next day since they were too exhausted from all the fighting and collecting the corpses.

Even Madara had gotten a grave next to Hashirama, something the first Hokage had asked of them before being released from the reanimation Jutsu.

Only around 10,000 shinobi had survived the war and they thus had a lot of work to do. They had to bury their comrades, treat the wounded and get the defenses up in their villages. It wouldn't be the first time the smaller nations attacked them after they had been heavily damaged. This was especially so for those that didn't participate in the war.

It was a lot of work. Although most injured made it out alive, some were crippled and some died, reducing the already small number of survivors of the original 80,000 even further.

As usual in a war, the shinobi who survived were mainly Jonin, with a few Chunin thrown in the mix. However, most would without a doubt be promoted to Jonin after the war.

Since the weak ones had almost all died on the first day, a day with 40,000 deaths, only a handful of the strongest Chunin had survived. Most of the weaker ones survived by being part of the medical unit that continued treating the wounded outside of the battlefield, unlike the higher-skilled medics that went to heal their allies while they fought on the third day.

As both Rin and Obito's bodies had been destroyed and they had already gotten graves, only a ceremonial burial was held for them.

After a week of work, it was finally over. The village had returned to normal, except for the missing dead shinobi, and everyone returned to work.

Those that didn't have anything important to do, used this time to finally be able to relax, both mentally and physically.

Although many were finally able to relax, the Yamanaka clan was busier than ever, having to treat the PTSD that most shinobi had developed.

***(Little Extra)***

'As I thought, the memories of this child just confirmed that my wish to take all the chakra back was a good decision. She had to suffer since she was born without having any other choice, truly unfortunate. No matter, I'll use you to bring extinction to this world.'

Luckily all of their little family had survived. Agusa and Ashika were too young to join the war, while Nozomi and Pakura were strong and lucky enough, not to die. Coupled with Naruto being the literal savior of the shinobi world, their family was able to reunite without any losses.

But after a few days, they soon noticed that Nozomi was different than before. Her skin had become whiter and two small horns were growing out of her forehead.

Naruto, who was able to come home after multiple days of helping Tsunade, almost attacked Nozomi as her features slowly became similar to Kaguya's.

It turned out, although they had sealed Kaguya's body, her mind had planted itself in the most suitable shinobi nearby, Nozomi.

This was due to their similar thought process, with the main difference being that Kaguya was corrupted by the consumption of the chakra fruit and Nozomi wasn't.

This 'fusion' slightly corrupted Nozomi, making the worth of humans in her eyes drop even further, while it helped the corrupted Kaguya to be able to calm herself down without becoming insane.

In the end, it was decided to transform Nozomi's restaurant slightly, making it a prison for her that was additionally supported by the chakra of the customers.

While it wasn't ideal, Naruto was only able to do this much as the other Kage were ready to seal or kill her completely and they couldn't afford to start another war again.

Although Naruto was stronger than all of them, he still didn't want to cause another war and as such begrudgingly gave in.

As such her days went by, both Agusa and Ashika had become powerful shinobi and Pakura had returned and would sometimes go to Sunagakure to support Gaara with his duties as the Kazekage.

While she still hated the village elders and the previous Kage, she had been won over after seeing Gaara during the war and later hearing about his story.

The only time she was allowed to leave her home, was at Naruto's wedding after he had negotiated with the Kage to let her out for one day.

That day was one of the most fun days for Nozomi in a while, as she was able to meet all the people that Naruto had always talked about when he returned home after a tiring day at work.

***

A few years later Minato was born, the son of Naruto and Hinata, named after his grandfather. At this point, Nozomi would secretly leave her seal to roam around the village, with only Konoha knowing about it.

Though in their eyes, she was the adoptive mother of their hero and thus no one cared. She had grown to possess multiple of Kaguya's abilities such as the Byakugan. Though her eyes didn't change and were still purple.

Meanwhile, Agusa was currently together with Sasuke, since she only knew the mature him, not the immature, emo-boy something which had turned off most of the kunoichi his age. Sakura meanwhile was dating Ashika.

***

She was bored. She had already been imprisoned for quite a few months and the only reason she didn't escape yet was for the sake of her family. Her loyalty to the Tsuchikage had already been thrown into the garbage after he had thrown her away and even voted to kill her. Coupled with her now being in the same body as Kaguya, she learned many new things.

*knock knock*

As Nozomi opened the door, a familiar woman suddenly pounced on her, pinning her to the ground.

"Mom, might I ask what you are doing in the body of my girlfriend?"

Before Nozomi could react, Kaguya suddenly took control of her body.

"Himari, nice to see you too. I'm sorry but I didn't know this woman had connections with you..., well even if I knew my insanity would have made me try to kill her either way, sorry.

I can't leave her body yet, since she is helping me repair my mindscape and without her, I'll run amok again, something I wouldn't want."

"Alright, just let me have some alone time with her. And don't peak!"

As the control over her body returned, Nozomi sat up and was suddenly caught in a hug.

"I thought you would be released at the same time as your mother, what took you so long?"

"Sorry about that, I was kinda kidnapped. I'll explain it to you."

As Nozomi and even Kaguya listened closely, Himari began her story.

"As I was freed, I was suddenly transported into a different dimension. I do not know why and how, but you can't believe what I saw there. At first, I met a red-haired woman that called herself a goddess.

After that, I suddenly met another version of my mother, who was in said person's harem coupled with Karin, Hinata, Anko, and even Mei.

After I collapsed out of exhaustion, I woke up again and asked her for a way to heal mom's mind in my dimension, like she did in hers, for which she taught me an useful Jutsu.

And then...."

***

It didn't take long after that to heal Kaguya's mind completely as she separated from Nozomi once again, leaving only the physical transformation and a bit of her previous influence. They couldn't reverse the fusion after all without heavily damaging both of them.

After threatening the 5 Kage to let her live normally here, Himari and Nozomi were able to live together with Kaguya in their house, causing many funny sights to be seen. Especially after Himari's time with a certain Uzumaki, from which she picked up quite a few bad habits.

Well, they were bad for Nozomi who was the recipient of those habits.

Why would she even want her to walk around the village, naked and acting like a dog.... she didn't understand.

---------------

Now two things to ease up confusion:

Nr.1: The trials were mainly to power them up quite a lot, but I didn't put Namiko's perspective of the war as I would have double the work and was a bit tired of writing this fanfiction. The powers that they got during the trials, were mainly to communicate with their respective teachers with a few preparations (which they were unable to do) and teleport to the moon village or sun village respectively (which was unneccesery except when Himari and Nozomi wanted some alone time)

They also got their talents enhance, which is the main reason Nozomi was able to get stronger once again.

Nr.2: I'm not sure if this counts as a good written ending, I knew I had to kill of Rin so that she can be together with Obito, but I also wanted to make sure things didn't get deranged to much so that I have to completely rewrite the ending.

And to be honest, I kinda forgot Himari since I took the time to rewatch almost all of the War episodes, which made my mind wander about how I could put Nozomi in there. Sorry but that made me completely forget Namiko and Himari, which is also the reason they have so little presence.

Nr.3: Yes, this absolutely is a Yuna reference. If you want to know what I mean, check out:
