I really never cared

Chapter 11

A sand contraption flew at great speeds across a battered and destroyed land.

"Right now, there's no other way to save Naruto!" Garra's voice called out as he sailed towards the reincarnated Minato

"How much longer till we get there?" Sakura asked, genuine worry clouding her facial features.

"Several Kilometres!" He replied somberly over the raging winds that disturbed their conversation.

"I'll do whatever it takes with what little chakra I have left!" Sakura declared, determination prominent in her eyes as she loosened the zips of Naruto's tattered jacket.

Lifting up his chest to reveal his bare chest, her fingers glowed blue as she prepared to tear open his skin to get to his heart.

"Sakura please don't." A voice horse called out before she could begin the hardly sanitary operation.

Tracing the hand that grabbed her towards a face, "Naruto!!" She screamed effectively getting Garra's attention "Naruto". He whispered more to himself, convincing himself that it isn't a dream.

But it's a fact that Jinchuriki's cannot live without a tailed beast within them. With renowned vigor, Garra took off, faster than his prior speed.

"Hey, Garra, can you please stop. " Naruto told him.

"Don't be foolish, if we get the other half of the nine-tailed beast, you have a better chance of surviving" Garra argued back, resolving to listen more to logic than the delirious blond, but it all proved fruitless as the sand suddenly stopped moving.

"Whaaa, Garra, why did we stop?!" Sakura shrieked, "We need to get to Yondaime-Sama."

"Don't blame him sakura, for its high time the story began." He declared while sitting up from his prior lying position.

"What are you talking a..." he couldn't finish that sentence beca... {A/N: did he just cut me off, I'm the author😤, I literally found this out during the proof read}

"Shush mortal, my ascension is now." He declared as he shot straight up into the air, golden vines chased after him as he grew bigger and bigger.

He stood 20ft above the ground and 20ft tall.

The allied forces (well, what was left of it) watched in awe as the vines crept and wove around him. Adorned in a full-body robe, the vines seemingly crept into the garment, blooming in the top white half and withering in the bottom black half.

His golden locks of hair fell gloriously to the ground from forty feet in the air, rippling on their way down to the ground. (Kaguya would be jealous)

His whiskered face long gone and along with it the blue eyes he was known for, in its place, calm golden eyes stood, they seemed to bloom and die at the same time. His eyes bled red as blood-red vines forced their way out of his eyes and slithered their way around his head, blooming and withering like an animated gif.

On his face rested a beautiful calming smile, yes this god has once again become beautiful.

Let the heavens know that Naruto the god of music, lord over life and death is back.

The bomb had been launched by the ten-tailed beast and impact is at hand, Inoichi had just cut off his connection with his daughter. While desperation spread out amongst the ninjas in the room, one man was calm and his eyes shone with acceptance. "So it's not yet time". Shikaku sighed, all in a concealed whisper.

'I miss you Naruto', he sighed in thought. He closed his eyes and sat in a meditative stance, awaiting Kugasamora.

But,
