Naruto : Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

Naruto has a hard time trying to send any message to Tsuyu. Because Tobi was watching. He needed to keep his status as 'spy' a secret. But then it's so silly of him because he really didn't have the sneaky skill of a Shinobi to do that.

Tsu-chan… I can't contact you…

He thought he could find ways later. But it wasn't easy at all.

But after 2 years, Konan finally gave him her help.

A paper butterfly silently sneaked into Konoha, and landed right on her desk in Konoha.

"What is this…" She picked the paper up, using Sage Mode to retrace the chakra back to where it came from.

The Eye of God opened in the sky thousand kilometers away trying to find any clue, but the sender was already gone, hiding using Zetsu armor.

Damn it…

***

Tsuyu.

I am doing fine in Akatsuki. People at Akatsuki weren't exactly all bad people… like you. They had their reasons. Tsuyu, your eyes were scaring many people, you don't have to do that. I will show you okay! We just need to give people a chance. I had a little group I found. They all understand that you weren't evil… you weren't a demon or a god… I told them about you… about how Tsuyu was. They didn't accept at first… but, I managed to convince them you really weren't bad. Maybe they can't forgive you… but they understand. I will return one day, I promise.

Naruto couldn't say he was spying on Akatsuki in the letter since Konan or Nagato would read it. Though he was a bad spy, unfortunately. But… he had some tricks that led to the unintentional breakdown of Akatsuki…

***

Madara! What kind of brainwashing did you do to him!? They weren't exactly bad people? And stupid little group of yours? Are you insane?!

A masked man that literally killed your parents! Released 9 tails that killed many villagers! Some lunatic who wants to make some weapon to control the world! Mass murderers who kill for money no matter if they are innocent or guilty! Crazy artist who turns Shinobi corpses into puppets to battle.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!

The Eye of God appeared in the sky, even more terrifying than before as each of them bleed. If she found them she would have sent Spiralling Abyss right to them.

Naruto's moral compass had to be skewed because Tsuyu had killed a hundred thousand, or hundreds of thousands including her hands in Land of Wind starvation.

But at least, his letter gave Tsuyu some rest, that at least Naruto was alive out there.

***

Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at specimens of white humanoid close to Hashirama cells. The person was alive.

Interesting…!

Through 1000 Eyes of God, she searched through even ruins with some form of seals or weird chakra fluctuation.

She found ruins with similar symbols. And she also found white humanoid thing, she called it zetsu. In fact, she found a thousand of them underground in one ruin.

And these things were alive…

Tsuyu felt wary. Orochimaru actually switches his body into a Zetsu because it seemed good and immortal. Or maybe he was just curious.

But what she knew was one thing.

Zetsu has the ability to mimic and change its chakra signature. Even Sharingan and Byakugan couldn't see through it.

Nii-san, is this how you and all of Akatsuki avoided my detection?

She felt tired really. To think such a thing exists in this Shinobi world. And her Eyes of God made her realise there's something hidden in the history of Shinobi World. Those ruins she explored, the thousands of Zetsu she found, there was a big secret. Where did these things come from? It was mysterious.

Orochimaru being Orochimaru of course wanted to know how these Zetsu things existed.

"Orochimaru, then how do we crack this problem?"

"... I am not sure. It would be my first time dealing with such an interesting specimen. Hnhn… I will try to see…" Orochimaru licked his lips.

Another year passed without much progress in finding Naruto. But the World of Shinobi…

Was growing prosperous.

The economy was booming from the reforms she set. Kotoamatsukami was used a total of 6 times the past 2 years, the Daimyo of Land of Lightning were taken under control secretly. 5 Lords of high influence yet a greedy tyrant were changed into better people that accelerated her reforms. Like well oiled gears and machination.

The eyes in the sky and her daily surveillance reduced crime rates significantly, along with worship. Some dared to still do evil, after all she never had sent down Judgment to specific individuals.

A cult that was known to want to summon some demon Moryo to create a thousand year old kingdom bullshit was destroyed.

She killed the corrupt Prison Guardian of Blood Prison who actually sacrificed prisoners to some stupid Box of Bliss nonsense. Something called Satori came out of it after it absorbed her chakra but she killed it easily.

Flashback.

"WHY! WHY YOU DON'T HAVE FEAR!" Satori was trembling, because he could only dodge and react through fear. In fact even if he could react to Tsuyu, with Flying Raijin, Sage sensory perception and her Sharingan and Byakugan, it made it almost impossible to react anyway.

"What even are you?" Tsuyu didn't have time to waste and directly used Spiralling Abyss, taking Satori and Box of Bliss together with a bang in the sky. But… the Box of Bliss was indestructible.

She took the mysterious box and let Orochimaru study it. If even Spiralling Abyss couldn't destroy it, then this box origin was far more dangerous than she thought. She never let the unstable factor stay, the box was too bizarre. She realised this world was far more complex than she thought. With things that had history even exceeded legend of Sage of 6 paths and it was real. She hated such unstable factors.

***

She stood in front of Moryo, rubbing her chin. Too evil. I cannot control it even if I capture it. Hm~

"You will be Ancor Vantian's battery."

WHAT?! Moryo trembled as he was captured and turned into a living battery for Ancor Vantian. Now it can operate.

***

She went to Roran, noticing the Ryumyaku chakra vein inside.

An unstable factor that was like a timebomb. I will absorb it then!

Just like that, she took all of Ryumyaku chakra through Reibi and Nue eating them and acting as a filter so her body could adapt slowly, her Sage Power and her control over gravitation grew another step.

Hm? Tsuyu felt her Sage Power grew stronger ever since she absorbed Ryumyaku, literal chakra of the earth. Her ability to use all Nature Releases grew stronger. She created an Abyssal Orb as usual, but now it even sucks in natural energy. And somehow it could disintegrate things slowly to dust. 

Hagoromo almost had a stroke. If she had Rinnegan she really would have created the Truth-Seeking Ball. Right now her version was inferior, lacking integrity and power.

A secret group cultivating and trading hallucinogen were turned to ashes.

The largest criminal ring of the Shinobi world, the Black Gang, that indulged in a variety of crimes disappeared from the world.

She descended in Land of Wind, creating living habitable environments in key places, oasis and paradise through Wood Release. The petroleum industry was casually thrown by Tsuyu to them and its myriad uses after she discovered their lands were filled with it. She asked for no money for such knowledge. She only wanted the world to trade their resources, enrich one another.

More cultural exchange happened as the Land of Fire opened its border. They had empty fertile lands, waiting to be developed. 

She casually said in an interview from one of her worshipers (?), that her favourite spot to rest in the world was Island of Sunset in Land of Water, where the stars were untainted at night. Each of your steps on the beach leave trails of light from the microbes in the water. She was asked if she ever rested, if she kept her Eyes on the world all the time and one thing led to another.

She unintentionally or intentionally turned the Land of Water into some tourist paradise. The name Bloody Mist was, after all, only for the Shinobi or clan with kekkei genkai. Civilians that made up the majority had a normal life. Mei Terumi the new Hokage opened its border after the death of Yagura due to pressure from Tsuyu.

Though, a lot of Shinobi of the Mist were uncomfortable with the changes that were happening too fast.

She cull disasters, stop flooding, control plague, even send rain through water release. If She saw the world suffer, She lent Her grace.

The Eye that shed blood in the sky was her tear for the world.

Religion worshipping her popping up like mushrooms, creating scriptures on her. And even nonsense about her being a merciful and benevolent deity. She didn't bother to stop it. She was only seeking efficiency. She wasn't trying to be a saint or a god. Her Eyes were already there, it was intended only to find Naruto and hunt down Akatsuki at first. But now it's already there, she just used it to its maximum efficiency while trying to find traces of Akatsuki and Naruto.

In the dark, Root eliminated and replaced the leaders and key figures that were greedy, selfish, moronic, and only caused disaster to the people under them. Also making them submit to her reforms and changes.

As Shinobi lost their job from mercenary work, she created a reform on the scope of a Shinobi.

They weren't mere mercenaries there for conflict. But pushed towards using their abilities for the world. Terrains can be changed easily through jutsu. Lands can be traversed easily compared to civilians. Electricity development was pushed, Shinobi with Lightning Release using chakra to convert them into electrical energy. Those with Flame Release could be used to generate energy through steam. Even radioactive energy was used to heat mere water. Chakra was renewable energy after all. Might as well use it this way. The energy industry was booming, civilians even in smaller villages would have access to electricity soon.

Even without mercenary work, shinobi were needed. Tsuyu was pushing towards industrialised use of Chakra, not weaponising them.

Hagoromo, who was watching in silence, had a thought.

Looking at the many Shinobi down there changing terrains to create waterway for farmlands reminded him of the past when he taught Ninshu.

He wanted people to understand and connect with each other through Ninshu. But it was weaponised eventually, turning into a myriad of tools for war and conflict.

This was one of his biggest regrets. Seeing the reversal, he felt complicated. Because he knew it worked because she was watching the world, that fear chained them to obey. That she could send the destructive miniature black hole through any of her Eyes, and she did it a few times to eliminate unstable factors.

If she was given time, perhaps she would create an Utopia. As for greedy people by nature that would ruin her plan? She used Kotoamatsukami on them.

Even the organization Kara was almost discovered. But it was only because their organisation was hidden in another dimension they were still hidden.

Jigen looked up at the sky, feeling distressed.

I want to find a perfect vessel. But I had to keep on guard all the time otherwise her eyes would see me. How a mere human could have such power… but perhaps her body… would have been a perfect vessel. But I couldn't touch her for now…

Hagoromo turned his eyes to the direction where the reincarnation of Ashura was.

At this moment, Tobi and Nagato had a breakdown. Obito thought he could manipulate Naruto into joining him one way or another, but turns out he managed to make Nagato change his mind about the whole thing! Tsuyu would have a stroke if she knew Naruto had some form of Kotoamatsukami of his own.

As the Eye of God in the sky disappeared, Tobi made his move now the surveillance was gone.

"Black zetsu!" Black Zetsu attacked Nagato, a rinnegan was gouged out from the sneak attack successfully.

"Damn you…! Shinra Tensei…!"

BANG! Tobi was sent flying hundreds of meters away as he was pushed away. 

He coughed out blood. He looked at the Rinnegan in his hand. At least the eye was not destroyed.

"Nagato…!" Naruto came to his side.

"Naruto… Madara is dangerous."

"I will give you all the tailed beasts. My body couldn't contain them. But you were the host of 9 tails throughout most of your life… never let him get them."

Kuchiyose, Gedo Mazo!

Nagato summoned Gedo Mazo quickly. The bijuu sized woody sculpture summoned. He knew with Tobi having his rinnegan, he could summon Gedo Mazo too and we wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Nagato…"

"I want to believe in your peace, and our late teacher…"

Nagato clasped his hands. Seal!

7 Symbols appeared on Naruto as all tailed beasts sealed into him. 3 on his abdomen, 3 on his back, 1 on his shoulder, each representing a tailed beast sealed in him. Nagato wasn't sure what would happen if he sealed Gedo Mazo together with all tailed beasts mixed inside of Naruto and he didn't want to find out. So separating them like this was better.

But just after he's done, Obito appeared and from his eyes, Kabuto also appeared.

Kabuto clasped his hands…

Kinjutsu: Edo Tensei!

Raikage A. Onoki. Tobirama. Minato. The four were summoned from the dead. Raikage, Tobirama and Minato were speedster - Nagato's weakness!

"Dad…! How…" Naruto was shocked.

"Naruto…! I can't control my body…! Be careful!"

"Konan, take Naruto away!" 

"Nagato. I wouldn't leave you behind." Her wings spread, turning into an angel of papers.

"I won't run!" 

Naruto looked into his mindscape, where all the tailed beasts gathered in separate cages.

"Please… I need your help!" They mocked him, asking why they would.

"I know… I talked to Kurama before. I will change the world. I will have all of you free someday. Tsuyu wanted that too."

All of them sneered in disdain. But Sanbi actually went to stretch his hand out.

"Oi Isobu what are you doing!" Shukaku asked in annoyance.

"Ten Tails... Cooperate. Humm~" As the calmest of them all, Isobu made the decision because of the threat of the resurrection of Ten Tails, and later… Kaguya.

All of them went silent, as if thinking. Few of them decide to help Naruto, since it was better.

"Thank you! Thank you guys!" Naruto took their hands.

Chakra of multiple tailed beasts gathered. He entered Tailed Beast mode, dark opaque red chakra covered his body, skeletons grew, 7 tails grew behind him. But he never lost control because the ones who gave him the chakra were willing.

"Ridiculous!" Tobi sneered in disdain.

Wood Release…! Tobi fought with Naruto, using a wood release that restrained the bijuu power.

The Edo Tensei, especially Minato and Tobirama that use Flying Raijin, pushed Nagato to the end.

Just then…

Sasori and Kakuzu appeared.

"... For once, I won't ask for payment…" 

To think he could find trust again in this world, to people and not money, he had to thank him, or perhaps curse him since he made him do this.

Kakuzu unleashed his monstrous form and rushed straight to Kabuto. 

"I have long wanted a puppet made from your body, Tobi…" Sasori summoned a hundred red puppets.

He turned to look at Naruto. 

I left 7 puppets for you. My last masterpieces…

A fight broke out in the isolated land.

***

Tobi coughed out blood. 

"Nagato…! Damn you…!" One of his eyes blinded from Izanagi, his chakra drained. He had to back off and run away.

Since it comes to this… 

Obito took out the used sharingan… replacing it with the Rinnegan.

He went to see Yahiko who was blissfully researching in the Kamui dimension.

"Is it done?" He asked coldly.

"Yes Madara-sama! I just need to wait for the solar eclipse, when natural energy is the highest!".

"Good…".

Tobi stabbed right through his chest, killing him without much nonsense. Using the power of Rinnegan, taking his memories for the ritual.

I need to become God to defeat her, to take the tailed beasts from both of them, and for infinite Tsukiyomi…!

***

"Naruto…" Nagato coughed out blood. His vitality leaked out. All 6 paths of Pain were destroyed. Sasori, Kakuzu, gone. But he managed to stop both Kabuto and Obito.

"Take my Rinnegan… stop Madara…"

"Nagato…" Konan shed tears as Nagato's life sign was depleting.

"I will stop him… I promise…" Naruto had tears in his eyes. To protect him, Nagato… he…

Konan covered all of them in her papers, and transported them away.

Naruto shed tears as saw Nagato buried.

"Naruto… Nagato trusted you. And so will I…please bear his eye…"

Naruto stood up, and firmed his will.

"Okay… I will stop him." Naruto's eyes turned serious. He won't let Nagato's sacrifice turn to vain.

Konan passed a scroll to Naruto.

"Sasori left these for you. He and Kakuzu made them together… with Zetsu bodies…"

"Sasori… Kakuzu…" Naruto shed tears. He summoned the 7 puppets from the scroll. 

Each carried different forms of black threads, white flesh, machinations, and white masks on all of them.

They were made in the form of each of the tailed beasts.

I will stop Madara…!

If Tsuyu knew she would have catch a brain disease trying to figure out how all these happened.
