FAN: Naruto War Arc

Today on FAN, I cover how I would’ve finished Naruto, starting with the War Arc. The entire Anime/Series will be a future entry.

First we’ll start with Naruto doing away with the cage trying to gain what fans call BM or FKM (Bijuu Mode or Full Kyuubi Mode), where he has full control over the Kyuubi’s power and his full cooperation. The two will do the trademark fist bump…and then Kyuubi will eat Naruto, taking over his body.

This reintroduces Kyuubi as the new and present threat, who will start slaughtering the ninja army in droves, after Itachi has already released the Edo Tensei zombies. Entire armies from whole villages will be eviscerated, not even getting a chance to think before they die.

The first group to confront the Kyuubi will be the Rookie 9 from Konoha, sans Sasuke and Sakura, but adding Neji, Lee, and Tenten. Kyuubi-Naruto will destroy them, easily stomping them in the fight, being too fast and too strong, but they’ll remain alive. Kyuubi will note that Naruto’s body won’t allow him to kill them, but he’ll likely get over it soon and force his way.

Next up to fight Kyuubi is Team 7: Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. Kakashi and Sasuke will have some clever strategies and the entire team will come up with awesome combinations, but ultimately the Kyuubi will be too powerful. The first thing he’ll do is shrug off Kamui while catching Sakura’s super strength punch, with ease. He will then break Susanoo and take out Team 7, after some struggling. The entire time, Sasuke’s sharingan will be repressing Kyuubi’s power and at one point the Kyuubi will have to shake out the cobwebs as he’s almost pushed back into Naruto’s psyche. However, he still wins.

At this time, Madara will have beaten the Gokage (Five Kage), but not due to power, just due to his recovery/Edo Tensei status. They’ll be alive, but beat up. Regardless, Kyuubi will interrupt and head right for Madara, holding a bit of a grudge. Madara will try a genjutsu, but Kyuubi will be prepared for it and counter it with the effect of “not this time, you bastard!”, showing his contempt for Madara and for being controlled. The two will have an epic fight, made close only due to Madara’s enhancements. The Kyuubi will remain in Naruto’s body, but will also form a full on Kyuubi-sized chakra construct to do his bidding. He will overwhelm Edo Madara’s Rinnegan (breaking through Chibaku Tensei, powering through Shinra Tensei, burning Madara inside out when he tries to absorb his power with Hungry Ghost Realm, and even standing his ground vs. Super Shinra Tensei), but fail to seal him. Madara will taunt the Kyuubi about being immortal, but the Gokage will come back, now healed, and seal him from the blindside.

Kyuubi is acknowledged as the final villain, the ultimate obstacle that the ninja army has to get through and they’ll begin planning his defeat, while fleeing for the time being. Meanwhile, Kyuubi will fight Tobi and his Jinchuuriki paths and easily demolish them all. He’ll snatch Tobi out of Kamui and hold him by the throat, seconds away from killing him, when a full team shows up to stop him.

Kyuubi will ultimately fall to a combination of Sasuke’s repression of his power, Naruto’s love for Hinata, Naruto’s love for his friends, the power of the Gokage, and the Edo Tensei’d Hokage. At first, the Edo Tensei’d Hokage won’t be present and it’ll be a very close fight with no casualties, but then Orochimaru will show up with the Edo Hokages to overtake him. The 1st will try wood release, the 2nd tries water, and the 3rd and 4th try sealing it. Kyuubi breaks through all of this and swipes them away with giant (chakra) tails it will grow out of Naruto’s body.

The 4th will step forward to save his son once again, but the 3rd will put a hand on his shoulder and shake his head. “Let me do this, Minato. To make up for all of my failures.” “With Naruto?” “With everyone.” The 3rd will do the Reaper Death Seal, but the Kyuubi will somehow break out, exclaiming that he’s been working on a counter for 15 (or 16) long years. He will still be weakened however, allowing Orochimaru to reveal that he brought Kushina back, who chains him to the ground. The Kyuubi struggles and almost breaks the chains, but Minato adds some seals, Gaara adds his sand, Sasuke uses Amaterasu and represses Kyuubi’s power, and finally Killerbee comes through with a Bijuu Bomb to pacify him. “Damn you Gyuki…” The Kyuubi will be resealed and Naruto is back.

And there ends the War Arc. There’d be another arc (a few chapters) after this to wrap up Naruto becoming Hokage (with a new seal, cutting off Kyuubi’s power), Sasuke coming back to the village, and the tentative peace that the Ninja War created.

This has the series end and begin in similar fashions, with the Kyuubi as the main threat.
