Naruto Rebirth : Rewriting Fate of the Ninja World

That night, after intense training with thousands of Shadow Clones, Naruto finally mastered the Chidori without needing hand seals!

But Naruto is still human. After days of nonstop training and running around, his Chakra began to run low.

After resting for a day, he regained his strength and started training again while working with Kisame to search the sea.

Three more days passed, and Naruto had mastered many forms of Chidori and became a true expert in Lightning Style!

But being an expert was just the beginning.

Next, Naruto pushed himself even harder, forgetting food and sleep, to learn "Purple Lightning."

This training was difficult.

Purple Lightning required adding the right amount of Yin Release to the Lightning Style.

First, Yin Release was something Naruto didn't fully understand before, so it was unfamiliar.

Second, he wasn't sure about the correct balance to use.

Because of this, his progress was slow at first.

Luckily, his past experience with Chakra control during Tailed Beast Bomb training helped a lot.

After many trials and errors, Naruto finally got the hang of it!

That night, he stood on muddy ground, his scarred left hand wrapped in a swirling ball of purple lightning.

In front of him stood ten Shadow Clones.

Naruto said, "Let's do this...!"

The ten clones formed hand seals together.

—Lightning Style: Thunder Tiger Kill!

"Ah…!!!"

Ten ordinary Thunder Dogs combined into a powerful thunder beast. Guided by the lightning ropes held by the clones, it charged straight at Naruto's real body!

Snap!

But Naruto casually waved his left hand, crackling with purple lightning.

"Ah…!!!!!!!"

The Thunder Beast was instantly destroyed with a scream. 

Purple electricity surged along the lightning ropes back to the clones, causing all ten to vanish in white smoke.

This was the ultimate power of Lightning Style, the strength of Purple Lightning!

Snap!

The purple lightning around Naruto's hand faded.

"Hu, hu, hu…" He lay on his back, breathing hard but smiling.

 "Finally… I did it. Teacher Kakashi, this really is your strongest technique. It took me ten days to truly master it."

"Can you take a break now?" Konan asked as she approached.

"No, strike while the iron's hot. I want to master Lightning Style Chakra Mode all at once!"

Naruto sat up, pulled the precious scroll from his arms, spread it out on the muddy ground, and concentrated his Chakra again, using Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Konan sighed quietly to herself. If the original timeline had played out, the Fourth Ninja World War might have been ending. But for the current ninja world, everything was just beginning...

...

Inside the Akatsuki's nest

A swirl of vortex appeared, and Obito stepped out, dropping a prisoner over his shoulder onto the ground.

Rustle—

Black and White Zetsu rose from the earth and looked down at the unconscious ninja.

White Zetsu said, "Oh? Isn't this Yamato from Konoha? Orochimaru's old test subject. How did you manage to capture him?"

Obito walked toward a clothes rack in the corner and replied, "I took a walk in Konoha and saw him using Wood Style well. So I brought him here to boost your fighting power. It's better than leaving him outside someone with bad intentions might have noticed him."

Black Zetsu murmured, "What a coincidence, someone else seemed interested in him too, but you got him first."

Obito ignored Black Zetsu's words and went to the rack, removing his wet Fire Cloud Suit.

He asked White Zetsu, "What about the intel I asked for?"

White Zetsu answered, "No news of Naruto since then..."

Obito shook the water off his clothes and hung them up. "Have you figured out why Naruto attacked the Kumo shinobi?"

White Zetsu replied, "It's all because of a scroll — something called 'Lightning Style Chakra Mode.'"

"Oh? That technique the previous Raikage was good at? It boosts reflexes and body speed but only those with strong chakra can use it. Looks like Naruto wants to win by relying on speed and reflexes..."

Obito instinctively touched his bare shoulder. Though the wound from sixteen years ago had long healed, it still ached for some reason.

Black Zetsu watched his back and said meaningfully, "What painful memories did that bring back?"

"Hmph, it's only a matter of time. Even if Minato were still alive today, I'm confident I could defeat him!"

With a swoosh, Obito put on a new Akatsuki robe and turned around. "Where's Sasuke?"

White Zetsu replied, "He's been working hard on his new techniques. He thought this base was too cramped to test them, so he went outside."

Obito walked over to the stone chair and sat down slowly. "Looks like that last failure made him restless…"

White Zetsu sounded uneasy. "If we let him keep getting stronger, won't that be dangerous for us?"

Obito adjusted his posture, his eyes dark and calm beneath the mask. "It doesn't matter. Even if his eye power grows to Madara's level, his lack of real combat experience means he'll never surpass Madara."

A thought passed through Obito's mind, but he kept it to himself.

Even in the worst case, if he couldn't get the Rinnegan back from Naruto if Sasuke awakened the Rinnegan, the Eye of the Moon Plan could still move forward.

White Zetsu asked, "Should I send clones to Amegakure to scout things out?"

Obito thought for a moment. "No. Having White Zetsu spy on the Amegakure would help track Naruto, but there's a high risk of exposure. With the Human Path's power of the Rinnegan, even the backup illusions I planted with my Sharingan might not hold up…"

White Zetsu sighed and shook his head. "That's too bad... It's not a good feeling, going into a war with this little intel on the enemy."

Obito's gaze deepened. "Don't worry. There's still time. When Konoha finishes rebuilding, that's when we, the Yami Akatsuki, will launch our full assault. After all, the emptiness that follows rebuilding... that's what true despair is."

Now fully accepting the identity of Hikari Akatsuki, Obito began to see himself as Yami Akatsuki, a rival equal to Naruto, and someone ready to challenge him head-on.

…

Amegakure, Akatsuki Tower.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All of Naruto's Shadow Clones vanished, returning their chakra and training experience to the original body.

In the middle of the rain-soaked clearing, Naruto stood shirtless, fists clenched, eyes shut.

Crack!

Lightning burst around his body, forming a glowing coat of purple energy

——Purple Lightning Chakra Mode!

Konan's eyes widened. "What a powerful chakra…!"

Naruto opened his eyes, fists charged with energy. "Yeah... This mode is even stronger than I imagined. With this, even if Kurama refuses to cooperate for now, I won't have any gaps in power."

Suddenly, Naruto looked up into the rain.

He had sensed it, an unfamiliar chakra blending into the rainfall created by his Rain Tiger at Will Technique.

Konan's expression tensed. "What is it?"

Naruto gave a slight smile. "Orochimaru… You're finally back. Without you, the next step would've been much harder to pull off."
