Fighting against the Legendaries Part 4

Hagoromo looked at Naruto.

"Come Out!"

"Oh, Fledgling of Blood!" Hagoromo said.

"huh?" Naruto looked at Hagoromo in a weird manner.

"I did not expect to meet you here…" A voice emerged from behind Naruto and Hashirama…

"That voice…" Naruto turned to see a figure slowly emerge from astral form to a complete image.

"I am Ōtsutsuki Shū!" The boy introduced himself.

"Thine foresaw thy existence!" Hagoromo said.

"Shū…" Naruto murmured thinking back to the time Shū had reverted the time laws for him to save Zabuza and Haku.

Shū walked towards Hagoromo.

"Old Man!" Shū called out as he held up a finger with a glowing light.

Hagoromo stared at the light.

"Here!" Shū pointed the light towards Hagoromo's frontal lobe.

("An advanced ninshu technique!") Hagoromo bent a bit to receive the light on his forehead directly.

….

The two were in contact for about a minute without moving an inch.

meanwhile, Naruto and Hashirama stared in silence.

Hagoromo opened his eyes.

(Cough!)

(Cough!)

"I understand!" Hagoromo nodded after learning of what had transpired back in Naruto's world.

"That old dude sure can adjust his speech immediately…" Naruto thought back to the time he had trouble correcting the old man's speech pattern.

"Senju Hashirama!" Hagoromo called out.

"Yes!" Hashirama bowed down on the floor completely to show his deepest respects.

"What are you doing?" Hagoromo asked.

"I-I am showing my respects?" Hashirama said in a doubtful voice.

"Please get up; you don't need to do that!" Hagoromo reassured.

"I see…" Hashirama got up, feeling like he was a fool.

Hagoromo brought his rod forward and tapped it on the ground.

*drip*

The ripple spread out on the surface slowly turning Hashirama's and Naruto's reflection into that of another person's.

"You both are incarnations of my son Ashura!" Hagoromo explained.

"Ashura?" Hashirama asked.

"Indeed," Hagoromo said.

Hashirama looked towards Naruto.

"Do you know anything about this?" Hashirama asked.

"Hmm..."

"How do I put this…." Naruto thought.

("Looks like there is no running around this guy….") Naruto thought.

"I am from the future!" Naruto said.

"F-Future?" Hashirama was stunned.

"That is the problem here!" Hagoromo said.

"What does he mean Shū?" Naruto turned towards Shū who was floating next to Hagoromo.

"You see, in the fourth ninja world war…"

"FOURTH NINJA WORLD WAR?" Hashirama interrupted.

"Yes!" Naruto nodded to confirm.

Hashirama became confused; however, he chose to listen to what Shū had to say…

"Back in the previous war, It was not a problem for you guys to fight alongside each other much less even fight against each other. However, You, Naruto are another source of Ashura's incarnation and have directly come in contact with the incarnation of this time period is a problem." Shū explained.

"huh?" Naruto stared at Shū.

"To put it simply, the you of that world was an incarnation of the Ashura of that world and so was Hashirama of that world."

"Since you both were of the same world and different timelines, the clash was negligible, however, the you right now is from a different world and a different timeline, while also having the identity of this world's incarnation."

"Hence, if you both clash, there is no telling what could happen to the laws."

"You were lucky to have me with you Naruto!" Shū said.

"I see…" Naruto nodded.

"But, wouldn't that reaction take place if I was to clash against Indra's reincarnation?" Naruto asked.

"Who's Indra?" Hashirama asked.

"He's Ashura's brother," Hagoromo explained following which he turned towards Naruto.

"You see Naruto!"

"The two powers were originally the same."

"So even if they were to clash, they wouldn't necessarily counter each other's existence," Hagoromo explained.

"Ah!"

"That's why Madara was able to survive after fighting against the First Hokage and taking a part of his body to get both powers…" Naruto said.

"WHAT?"

"MADARA DID NOT DIE AT THAT TIME?" Hashirama asked.

"Yeah…"

"In fact, he got the Rinnegan from combining both powers."

"But, How did the village survive then?" Hashirama asked.

"Madara did not return to the village after the battle. In fact he silently passed away somewhere else…" Naruto said.

("That's a long story")

("Gotta save that for later!") Naruto thought.

"So you are from the future huh?" Hashirama looked at Naruto.

"Yup!"

"I was the Seventh Hokage!" Naruto said.

"I see…"

"Tobirama was the second, Sarutobi was the third, that yellow-haired man your dad was the fourth, then"

"So who's the current Hokage?" Hashirama asked.

"It's the third in this timeline…"

"However, back in my world, we have a Ninth in the position right now!" Naruto said.

"A ninth?" Hashirama was surprised.

"So who was the fifth and Sixth?" Hashirama asked.

"Fifth was your granddaughter, Granny Tsunade!" Naruto said.

*Ugh!* Hashirama froze.

"Hmm…?" Naruto stared in concern.

"What happened?" Naruto asked.

"Did the sixth clean up after her or something?" Hashirama asked.

"Haha"

"Granny Tsunade was a great Hokage!"

"My teacher Kakashi-sensei did not clean up after her, though for some reason, it seemed like the village developed a hundred times faster when I took over…" Naruto scratched his head.

"Haha!"

"You must have been a great Hokage!"

"Seeing that your dad was the fourth!" Hashirama slapped Naruto on his back.

("Ouch!") Naruto tried his best to maintain a smile.

("Hahaha!") Kurama laughed from within.

"Naruto!" Hagoromo called out.

"Hmm…?" Naruto turned to face Hagoromo.

"The current you cannot access full six paths mode."

"Right now you may be able to create a single truth seeker orb, that's all."

"This is because you currently have half of Kurama and a bit of Shukaku's chakra with you!" Hagoromo explained.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded.

"Other than that you have the ability to fly around, heal people and the sensing abilities from that power."

"Right now, there is a storm brewing."

"Even if I am aware of the future just like you, I am unable to see the current future that lies ahead, so I must warn you to tread carefully," Hagoromo explained.

"I understand!" Naruto replied.

"Good!"

"If you want to use that power to its potential, then you must have good ties with the other tailed beasts."

"However, Before you proceed any further, I want you to visit Mount Myoboku's Great Elder Sage and hear his prophecy."

"Proceed with caution!" Hagoromo warned, following which he turned to Shū.

"This is the Six-paths Yin power!" Hagoromo said as he drew a moon onto Shū's hand.

"Hold on to this power until Naruto says to hand it over."

"I am sure he can make the judgment call when the time is right!" Hagoromo concluded.

"Got it!" Shū nodded as he closed his palm.

"I will pass on the Six-paths yang power once again to you since it has almost faded away…" Hagoromo said as he drew a sun symbol on Naruto's right hand.

"Sasuke's power is with Shū!"

"Give it to him when the time comes!" Hagoromo concluded.

"Leave it to me!" Naruto said.

"Now then!"

"For the battle in between you two…"

"I am unable to help you, once you both wake up again."

"So it will be better if you find someone else to help out in that regard," Hagoromo said.

"I see…" Hashirama nodded following which he turned towards Naruto.

"Good Luck trying to stop me!" Hashirama smiled.

"This ain't a joke, ya know!" Naruto argued.

"I know, I know…" Hashirama felt a bit depressed.

("Whoah, he also changes his attitude super fast…") Naruto thought.

"Naruto!"

"Hashirama!"

"You'll be able to return to your bodies, however…"

"Naruto has to find someone who can defeat you, either by sealing or by removing that talisman which will return your soul to the main seat…" Hagoromo explained.

"Got it!" Naruto and Hashirama nodded.

Following which, their souls departed from the space…

"Hagoromo-san!" Shū called out.

"Am I to address you as Young Master?" Hagoromo asked.

"Whichever suits you; however, we need to talk," Shū said.

"Old Man!" Naruto appeared once again.

"Hmm…?" Hagoromo looked at Naruto.

"Thanks for helping me out once again!" Naruto smiled towards Hagoromo.

"Though you may not look it, I consider you my son!" Hagoromo said.

"Hehe…" Naruto laughed.

"I have one more thing to ask," Naruto said.

"What is it?" Hagoromo asked.

"It's about the Tenseigan and your brother Hamura's clan on the moon!" Naruto said.

("I'll see if there is any way I can save Toneri earlier…")
