Naruto Shippuden 21

It had been several days since the group had returned from the Land of Iron and to say tensions were running high would be an understatement. Tsunade was stressed as she planned the Hidden Leaf's role in the war alongside her most trusted advisors leaving all active shinobi on standby.

Naruto had assisted in fixing part of the village through the use of clones. Thousands of clones had been taught all the skills needed to craft a village and to say people were shocked at her progress would be an understatement as most sections of the village had been built in a matter of hours.

After she was done with that she returned home to ask for some training with Shinobu while Alucard and Kaede stayed back and had some sibling talks and stuff.

"I see you want to get back to training. I hope you are ready?" Shinobu said with a smile that freaked out Naruko who got into some training clothes.

"Woah, scary much," Naruko said.

Shinobu opened up a portal as behind was a dark void.

"Alright walk through and I advise you stay fly where you are going to end up or you'll have a bad time." Shinobu said as she walked into the portal with Naruko following in behind her.

Upon reaching the other side Naruko soon noticed where she was. She was standing on a weird blue-looking grass and a clear sky with weird colors in the sky.

"Where are we?" Naruko asked Shinobu.

"We're on a dead planet as larger than Saturn, nothing exists here last I checked. I'm going to drop my power so I'm just slightly stronger than you." Shinobu said getting an angered look from Naruko.

"There's no need to hold back. I'll be able to reform if I do get splattered." Naruko chided.

"Sorry little sister, but if I don't hold back and hit you. You'd probably feel unimaginable pain and due to your regeneration and heritage would be in a perpetual cycle of suffering. The simultaneous breakdown of every molecular bond in your body would stimulate every single neuron and nerve at once. This would cause the destruction of your body to slow down considerably even if it takes less than a fraction of a second in real-time. It would feel like minutes or hours for every single molecule in your body to be ripped apart from my hits with you feeling all that pain. I don't want that happening to you. That's why I usually only destroy parts of your body rather than the entire body." Shinobu said getting a frightened look out of Naruko.

"Anyways get ready we'll be fighting till you pass out." Shinobu said.

Naruko got into a stance as she watched Shinobu in the distance. There was no action for a few seconds before Naruko powered up and fired out a Kamehameha beam at Shinobu who easily kicked raised one hand and easily kept it at bay as Naruko continued firing while gritting her teeth.

She dropped the beam and dived forward for a punch that didn't phase Shinobu as it bounced off her. Naruko continued throwing out punches that made no damage before she stepped back a bit.

Diving in with more power she went for a kick which was stopped with Shinobu's pinky finger as Naruko tried targeting other parts of her body which were all quickly stopped with the pinky.

Jumping back once again she jumped back in with more force as she was now able to create craters from the hit Shinobu blocked with her fingers causing them to sink deeper into the ground.

However, all this effort got Naruko nowhere as she stopped punching and getting annoyed as she took a step back.

"Very well, I guess I'll have to go all out," Naruko said before powering up finally as large black horns grew out of her temple which had pink markings on them.

In an instant, she punched Shinobu with enough force to send her flying across the planet and cratering into the ground and breaking some of it before coming in with another punch driving her into the planet's core.

They soon separated and started exchanging blows with every blow Narukos sent was either missing or being counterattacked while Shinobu's blows always hit Naruko. Soon she hit Naruko sending her flying backward before appearing on top of her and hitting her straight in the gut with her heeled boot causing Naruko to bounce off the ground as it broke beneath her. Shinobu was already below her as she bounced off as he got kicked back in the air and was dropped back to the ground with a double-axe handle.

Before Naruko could get up, Shinobu grabbed her by her foot and slammed her to the ground repeatedly to which Naruko managed to briefly get out of the hold and tried to get in a kick. The kick was caught easily as Shinobu threw Naruko towards the ground before following up with a fist.

Naruko with her reflexes got out of the way of Shinobu's fist which destroyed more of the planet. Shinobu looked to her side and noticed Naruko coming in with a scissor kick which she dodged and kicked Naruko directly in the back sending her flying as she landed with a thud on the floor.

Naruko got up as her wounds already healed but she was still in pain. 'Fuck, she's like a brick wall. I' getting nowhere' Naruko thought as she walked out of her self-made crater. She soon rushed back in at full speed chasing Shinobu who was weaving out of her attacks as she sent a knee to Naruko's gut dropping her to a knee as she spat out some blood.

"I hit you hard enough to destroy every organ in your body and you're still standing. I'm impressed Naruko, you're getting stronger." Shinobu said as Naruko jumped away from her throwing energy blasts which she dodged as she followed Naruko. Just before Naruko could fly she grabbed her by the ankle and span her around before throwing her back to the ground. A second later Naruko flew back in as they once again engaged in close-quarters combat as they warped around the planet causing shockwaves and destroying the entire terrain. For every warp, Shinobu was laying the beatdown on Naruko who was beginning to feel the effect of the hits as she started to slow down.

During their last exchange, Shinobu landed hits that Naruko couldn't block and followed up with a punch between her breasts and a right hook to her face sending her into a mountain-looking structure that caved in as she went through it. She soon fell out the other side as she got to her hands and knees breathing hard as she noticed Shinobu walking towards her with her hands over her chest.

"Do you wish to keep going? We can stop and take a break." Shinobu asked her sister as she noticed she was breathing hard.

"No, I'm good to keep going." Naruko said as her body and clothes were already restored.

Naruko flew towards her so fast she uprooted the floor beneath her while lighting the Planet's atmosphere on fire causing massive explosions behind her. Only to be stopped by Shinobu using her Evil Eye and holding Naruko in place before landing hits that created massive holes in her body that Naruko couldn't perceive sending her flying upwards and falling back down.

Naruko after a few seconds got on her feet and looked at her body as she watch the holes close up and got up in pain.

"Damn, that really hurt." Naruko said as she flew back to Shinobu trying a different approach. Upon reaching Shinobu she attacked with her elbow with Shinobu countering with her elbow as they both collided against each other. The collision created a shockwave to emanate from them as the ground beneath them gave way as they sunk into the planet's core. Shinobu went in for a kick which Naruko dissipated her body turning into mist before reforming behind Shinobu and creating a sword and trying to take off her head. Shinobu leaned back slightly allowing the blade to nick a few of her hair.

Naruko noticing this opened up a portal behind Shinobi and appeared behind it to go for a sneak attack only to find Shinobu's hand filled with some energy and fired into her sending her back into the portal as another portal opened up throwing Naruko out of it and onto some molten rock.

As Naruko began to get up she flew up and began to create a humongous ball of darkness fully eclipsing the planet before she threw it towards Shinobu. 'Hopefully, she tries to grab it, as soon as she does it would explode blowing up everything. And with her holding back it should be able to hurt her and send this planet to kingdom come.' Naruko thought.

-?-

"You have returned." a voice called out.

"Indeed." Another voice called out.

"How did the Kage take your offer?"

"The Fourth Great Ninja War is upon us Kabuto," Madara said as Kabuto emerged from the shadows with a smirk plastered on his inhuman features. "I see you also succeeded in your task?"

"Oh yes, the DNA recovered from one of Shinobu Oshino's fights was most interesting to experiment with though it has left me permanently scarred as a result." Kabuto said in slight annoyance,

"And was such an endeavor worth the risk?" Madara replied.

"Unfortunately I cannot access whatever that aura she uses is. It's leading me to believe it is something that isn't based on DNA alone," Kabuto replied as he ran his hand along his scarred face. "However the positives will allow me to be of far more use to the plan going forward."

"I see," Madara said as he moved further into the cave they were in and stood at an observation window. "How goes the DNA collection?"

"Thanks to the White Zetsu we'll have more than enough soldiers to combat the Five Great Villages and anyone else who would stand against us. Did you manage to retrieve the Rinnegan from Nagato?" Kabuto asked.

"Of course," Madara replied tossing Kabuto a small vial of blood which the scarred man caught with ease. "How long until you are prepared?"

"Three days at the absolute most so you could probably begin the opening attacks in two days time since the Zetsu aren't too shabby when it comes to open combat." Kabuto said to Madara.

"Very well, begin the Edo-Tensei process. I have a war to start." Madara said before he vanished into a vortex.

-Back with Naruko-

In the vacuum of space, a single boot is seen floating around with Naruko's unconscious body floating next to it. One of her horns was broken, and around her were the remains of the planet. Shinobu flies toward Naruko and picks her up before hoisting her on her shoulder.

She opened up a portal before heading back to Konoha and laying Naruko on the bed.
