CHAPTER 42

At this time in the other dimension;

*Clang clang clang * *Boom* A epic fight was going on. This battle was fought between Itachi and Sasuke.

Itachi was using all his powers including susano'o, amaterasu, tsukiyomi and everything in his arsenal but still he wasn't even able to put a simple scratch on the man. Currently he was extremely drained huffing. He had a hard time breathing. There were multiple scars on his body.

On the other hand, Sasuke was fine and was smirking at Itachi. He was taunting him, trying to get him riled up. But Itachi was able to keep his calm . Sasuke was really impressed by this.

Sasuke summoned a spear made out fire and hurled it at itachi.

*KABOOM* there was a humongous explosion which blew away everything. Itachi was able to barely defend against it . He was bleeding from both the eyes. He had tried to use all sorts of genjutsu but it all failed against the man in black. Currently he wasn't even able to see properly even with the enhancements done by Orochimaru.

Indeed to become stronger and exact revenge against konoha Itachi had made a deal with Orochimaru. The deal was that, Itachi will allow Oroochimaru to experiment on him but in return he had to make him powerful. The deal was followed through and Itachi got a tremendous boost in power. Orochimaru was also able to heal him from the disease that was going to kill him.

But here he was still not able to defeat this person in front of him.

"*Huff huff* Who are you? why did you brought me here?" Itachi said as he huffed.

Sasuke didn't say anything as he simply aimed his right hand at Itachi. On his palm appeared an orb of fire surrounded by electrical sparks.

" Lightning fire release- extermination ray" Sasuke said as a powerful lightning engulfed beam was released from the the orb which directly went towards Itachi at a terrifying speed. Itachi could muster a little strength with which he summoned susano'o which was holding holding the yata mirror.

The ray hit the shield and created a loud rumbling noise as cracks started to appear on the shield and Itachi's susano'o.

Itachi grinded his teeth as he shouted go use the remaining power he had to fight the ray off but it was completely useless as the ray finally shattered the shield and destroyed the susano'o which created a powerful explosion. Itachi lost his consciousness as he was swept away by the force released by the explosion.

Sasuke saw this as he silently teleported behind Itachi and caught him carefully. Slowly he laid the unconcious Itachi on the ground.

"I am sorry brother but I had to do this. The hatred you created in my heart all those years ago has finally been quenched. It's time we start from a beginning" Sasuke said calmly as he looked at Itachi.

This battle had finally concluded the hatred between the brothers.

**********************************************

Currently in the fortress in the icy region;

Naruto, Nanako and Hinata were sitting around a table and drinking hot chocolate. Hinata was explaining the siblings about had happened with her during all those years. The siblings were listening to her story attentively.

Hinata said that after she was kicked out from her clan she came across an voice which took her to an unknown dimension. The voice said that it came from a different universe. It said that it could grant her power . At first she thought that there might be a catch to this . But the voice said that it didn't needed anything from her. Everything it was doing was just for fun. So without hesitation Hinata accepted his offer. The voice taught her many things which dealt with spiritual and mystical arts. The voice granted her powers and abilities which would help her to become stronger. During all these years she trained and became stronger as well as she awakened the 'Tenseigan' along with creation of all things. But she didn't stoped her training and evolved her Tenseigan even further attaining so much power that one could never believe. Her tenseigan had become so powerful that she could look into the future and even travel back in time through portals. But travelling through time put an extreme burden on her so she had never done it.

All this time she had never forgotten her goal which was to exact her revenge and to find Naruto. During these time she had never been able to see the entity ever. She could only hear the voice. A few days ago the voice said that her training was over and it was leaving the universe. Before Hinata could ask anything the voice teleported her back to her own planet.

After listening to this Naruto and Nanako had side eyes and open mouths. They were really amazed by Hinata.

"So how was your relations with this voice?" Naruto asked cautiously.

" Hum nothing special. Truth be told I don't feel attachment to the being behind the voice. The being never really cared for me much. I fely more like a test subject or some sort of entertainment. I never felt any form of warmth or coldness from the voice. It...was always neutral without any any emotions" Hinata said after thinking for a bit. All the time she spent the voice, she had never felt a shred of warmth from it. So she also never cared much about it. This was also a reason why her personality had turned cold. The only exceptions were Naruto and her sister whom she had found.

After that they talked for sometimes more and they went to go to sleep as it was already nighttime in their own rooms.

Suddenly the door to Naruto's room was opened as Nanako slowly entered.

At this time Naruto was sleeping turning his body to the side ways. He opened his eyes when Nanako entered the room but he never sat up.

" What are you doing at this time?" Naruto asked without turning to look at her.

Nanako had a neutral expression on her face as she looked at her brother.

" Are you sure we can trust this Hinata person?" Nanako asked as she narrowed her eyes at Naruto.

"What do YOU think Nanako?" Naruto questioned her back.

"I....I don't know onii-chan. She seemed like a good person but hiding her true nature with her powers won't be a problem for her" Nanako said closing her eyes as a friend appeared on her face.

"Same with me. I don't know what to think. At one side I have these feelings for her the moment I saw her and then there is that side that makes me want to be careful against her. Truthfully I have no idea what to do" Naruto said without turning.

"And I believe that she is a trust worthy person. I could see that in her eyes" He said while turning to look at his sister.

" Let our relation grow naturally. We will build the trust with time and I know things will work out" Naruto said as a smile appeared on his face.

Nanako shook her head and smiled at her brother after that she went to her own room to sleep.

**********************************************

Next day in morning;

Currently in konoha;

The team had returned and they were all admitted in the hospital only leaving Sakura and Ino who were fine.

They explained everything to Tsunade and all the things which had occurred as well as Naruto trying to destroy the city. Hearing this Tsunade didn't know what to do. She was confused at the things happening.

currently hokage was also not present in the village and she had to handle all this. She had ordered Jiraya to return and had informed him about Naruto's return and about his sister.

Jiraya had only written that he was returning asap.

Tsunade looked at the sky from through a window in the hospital as she sighed. She didn't know what the future held for them. But she knew one thing that she would try to make Naruto and his sister accept her.
