AC_D2: The Moon's Blessing

Welcome to day 2 of my Advent Calendar! Hope you are all well.

Today, I'm going to put up a crossover/fusion plotbunny that was inspired by two things.

1. The 20th anniversary Sailor Moon relaunch that I recently found even though it's been out for quite a while.

2. Naruto's lacklustre ending. 

Warnings: Not as edited as I'd like and... it's a bit crazy? But then again, everything I write is a bit crazy. Also, plotholes.

The moon's bright light taunted him with promises of power and freedom.
Vowing yet again that he'd conquer it, he turned away from made his way through the darkness to a hidden cave. A cave that he'd found years ago when he'd been near death. The cave that housed the being that had healed him and given him another chance.
As he stopped before a crystalline altar, a pale woman's spirit appeared. Her delicate features twisted into a mockery of welcome as she looked at him. Her third eye-with nine tomoe arranged on ripple like patterns-gleamed with greed.
“Have you brought more energy for me, Madara?” The woman asked, her voice soft unable to hide her menace.
Madara unsealed the scroll and pulled out the large group of unconscious ninja he had captured.
The woman's face twisted in pleasure as a hazy red dome surrounded the group of ninja.
His skin prickled at the raw amount of energy being channelled in through the air but he forced himself to stay still and watch.
Within moments, the woman looked brighter than before.
Madara spared the mummified corpses a brief glance before they crumbled into ash.
“I can raise the generals now,” the woman said, her lilac eyes glancing off in the distance. “While they gather energy for me, you can bring me the Silver Crystal.”

Even though the rest of her team were fighting against dangerous missing-nin, Sakura felt completely at ease for the first time since she stepped on the bridge.
Kakashi-sensei had said that the mist would disorient her but Sakura felt the complete opposite happen. The thick mist sharpened her senses till she could pinpoint a multitude of things in the mist- the location of her teammates, their chakra and even the jutsus being used in the battle.
Not wanting to lose her new ability by questioning how it worked, Sakura concentrated on Naruto and Sasuke-kun's battle with the ice user. The drastic drop in temperature around them and the ease with which their opponent controlled his ice rankled Sakura.
Before she could question why it bothered her, Sasuke-kun's chakra disappeared and a dark chakra -one filled with malice and hatred- filled her senses.
Her mind churned and her body shook.
Sakura wanted to get out of the mist and hide.
But the horrid chakra was in her teammates' location. She couldn't abandon them to whatever monstrosity had appeared.
She concentrated on the mist and the dark chakra invading it, trying to figure out how she could help.
Buried deep within the hate filled chakra, something bright and achingly familiar reached out to Sakura and brushed against her senses. It's comforting brightness drove away her fear.
“Wake up,” the brightness seemed to say. “Protect.”
Sakura's chakra rushed forward to the brightness, keeping it afloat amidst the hate filled chakra. A new strength filled Sakura as her chakra drained away. A strength that unlocked a plethora of memories.
Memories that echoed some of the games she used to play with Ino. Games where they both pretended to be warriors who protected a... “Princess?” Sakura said, with wide eyes.
The mist thickened, ice cracked and water roared as Sakura ran forward.

The moment they were done with the mission office, Sakura stifled her urge to follow Naruto and made her way through Konoha to a place she hadn't visited in a long time.
“Forehead, why are you standing at my front door like a weirdo?”
Sakura stared at the blonde for a long moment, trying to find something to say. “Venus?”
A flicker of something passed through Ino's eyes before she scoffed. “Aren't you too old to want to play those old games.”
Sakura could feel her powers rise up. The urge to gather the water around her and shroud herself in comforting mist.
Something must have shown on her face because Ino paused. Really paused and stared. “Sak...”
Sifting through her memories, Sakura said, “Sasuke-kun is nothing like Kunzite.”
Disbelief and hope warred across Ino's face.

As you can see- some botched reincarnation happened all around.

Here's the parts that I'm sure of.

Serenity became Naruto and he can't access Sailor Moon's/Serenity's power. Also he doesn't know that he was the moon princess. But the other sailor senshi are still female. Sakura is the second senshi to wake up.

Madara is Queen Beryl. He's the antagonist, he's got crazy hair, can brainwash people and is most likely to awaken an ancient evil. Also, fixed on the moon being able to give me him power. Perfect casting, right?

Everything else is a big question mark because I haven't really spent time working out the details.

See you tomorrow,
Polar
