Chapter 1: Madara Uchiha
Legends, scattered through time. Man has grown quite fond of accounting the exploits of Heroes and Villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts of a forgotten past. Man born from Dust was strong, wise and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable Darkness, creatures of darkness, the creatures of Grimm, set their sights on man and all of its creations. These forces clash, and it seemed the darkness were intent on returning man's brief existence into the void.
However even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named, Dust.
Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the Darkness. And in the shadow's absence, came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.
But even the most brilliant lights flicker and die.
And when they are gone. Darkness will return, so you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so called "free world", but take heed.
There will be no victory in strength.
Or perhaps victory lies in the simple things we've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul…
You are both so naive.
While it is true that there is no victory in strength alone, many have fallen trying to do so. For no man is an island. But what is also true that even the most pure of souls with noble intentions can be just as easily tainted by Darkness if they are ignorant in the ways of the world, not knowing of what evil lies in the hearts of other people.
When all is said and done the darkness cannot be so easily destroyed, only quelled. For Light and Darkness correspond to one another, and having one without the other is as ridiculous as having day without the night.
I learned this through all my life despite being born from a different world where strife and death are constant, being in a time where power is everything and sacrificed even my brothers, blood connection or not because of my mistakes.
I learned that peace is always paved through the flames of war, but the question that needs to be asked, how many people must be sacrificed just to attain it?
Until you find your answers I will live my days as I wish. After all, fighting with the today's generation of huntsmen and huntresses isn't called a fight at all, for it is nothing more than a dance to me.
(THE CLUB)
We see a young man in a bar who look just barely starting in his twenties paying a bartender named Junior Xiong for a drink of water minding his own business while not paying any mind of the music that is too loud in his opinion, wearing what appeared to be some kind of red armor borderline crimson with multiple metal platings that cover the torso, the thighs and the front along wearing a purple robe that reaches down to his shins, and his footwear appears to be blue sandals along with having a turtle neck underneath said robe along with black gloves.
His physical appearance is followed as cream colored skin with raven black spikey hair that reaches all the way down to his back with bangs that cover most of his face and the right covering his right eye from view and the left eye that shows it being onyx black that shows nothing than a neutral but sharp look that screams "try something and see what happens". This individuals name is Madara Uchiha: former founding father of Konohagakure, former Leader of the Uchiha clan, true leader of the Akatsuki, wielder of the Rinnegan, the former third Sage of the six paths and the former ten-tails Jinchuuriki.
And this is how it all began.
(FLASHBACK: 6 MONTHS AGO.)
Darkness. That is all there was seen by Madara after he made his last breath before being able to be free from Kaguya Otsutsuki: declared rabbit goddess and demon, the proclaimed progenitor of all the source of power that is called chakra. To have a final talk with his former rival and best friend named Hashirama Senju: declared as the first Hokage and fellow founding father of Konohagakure and the leader of the Senju clan and the titled "Shinobi no Kami".
Speaking about peace being entrusted by the future generations to succeed where he and Hashirama have failed to attain. After their talk had ended, Madara has been in this Darkness for kami knows how long and he is started to get mixed feelings about it, anxiety being first because he expected to be on the receiving end of burning brimstones, screaming tormented souls to be heard or being in said torment himself for that matter.
But eventually it just became boring because not doing anything but staying afloat and contemplating of all the things he has done, the lives he had both manipulated to reach his ambitions, and killed those who had so much had gotten his way to the very point of facing two ninjas who are named Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Madara had fought till the end before being literally stabbed in the back by a being called black Zetsu after activating a Jutsu known as the infinite Tsukuyomi. Revealing the truth of black zetsu actually being the true will of Kaguya and explaining the how and the why the ninja world became till this very day through black Zetsus machinations, all the way from persuading of the sages first born, the beginning of the warring states period to the great ninja wars by the five great nations.
With these truths revealed, Madara had been thinking about Black Zetsu that flashes in his mind and if he had one regret, it will be not killing that dark little sprite himself.
"But that will never happen considering of how I am stuck here." Madara irritably said particularly to no one but himself, and he would thought of this more if a sudden light did not blind him from his thoughts. And what was revealed shocked him to the core was none other than his Uchiha ancestor, Indra Otsutsuki: the first wielder of the sharingan, the first born of the Sage of the six paths and former transmigrant of Madara uchiha and current one of Sasuke Uchiha.
"If it makes you feel any better, Zetsu has been dealt with by Naruto and Sasuke by sealing him and my Grandmother in a different moon from another dimension." Madaras ancestor said with a hint of amusement if the smirk on his face was any indication and eyes hiding a hint of mirth.
Madara was staring at his ancestor, shocked to see him here of all places. With questions raging in his mind but he feel the most prominent one was…
"How did You get here?" Madara asked. But his tone is nothing short of a demand. If Indra was offended, he didn't do anything to show it, instead Indra was staring at His descendant with eyes full of regret and sadness that appeared to be focus to Madara and Himself, Himself being more so for his past deeds that resulted Madara having to slowly plunge into Darkness.
And the death of his brother Izuna was the straw that broke the camels back.
So with that in mind, Indra had decided to speak.
"I have Been thinking on this for a while on what to do with you, so with that being said, and I will be blunt, I want to send you back to life and be sent to a different world altogether, away from the elemental nations to live a life as you see fit." Was all Indra, crossing his arms and wait for the raging volcano that is front of him.
.

"WHAAAAT!?" Was all Madara said in complete shock with a flabbergasted look with his jaw-dropping to the ground if it were there, along with his eyes going so wide to the point Indra thought they were going to drop out of their sockets if he wasn't dead.
After 3 minutes of Madara composing himself with the exception of his left eyebrow twitching madly, he calmly ask.
"Why did you want to bring me back to life, along with the thought I could just escape from this place so easily? And how can I be sure this isn't just some ploy to this leading for your own benefit?" Madara asked with a skeptic tone and with a restrained urge to strangle him if he was that spiteful like he is towards a certain orange-loving idiot.
(Back at the Elemental Nations)
Said orange-loving idiot sneezed accidentally on his ramen and resorted to crying in hysterics around his beloved lavender-eyed colored wife and his two children just staring at him, giving him weird looks asking their mother why he is acting like this. Their mother just merely said not to worry about it with a too sweet smile that promises an early demise if her husband doesn't stop acting like that in front of the kids.
(Back with Madara and Indra)
Indra merely said, "I will answer those questions in order, One is because this is the border between life and death upon which I travel through from time to time whenever a soul has past away in this dimension where they will be judged based on their deeds in life."
"Second is that I have benefits as have you called it will be a sign of good will and reparations with what Black Zetsu has done to all my descendants." Indra said with his arms and legs crossed while floating in mid air continues to speak.
"And finally I will by no means trick you into anything for I will be giving you knowledge of the world you'll be sent to along with all your power intact, I will even give you back the Rinnegan, because as I said before, like you, I still have much to answer for the sins I have committed for entirely different reasons." Indra said with complete sincerity and no trace of any lies being told to Madara while his mind flashes back to his brother and father.
Said man was silent the whole time during his ancestors' explanation and he would be lying if he said he wasn't interested with this proposal. Adding to the fact that he will be able to walk amongst the living, and being able to use the power he gained from his past life along with regaining the eyes of the sage himself is just a bonus.
In short, he would be an idiot if he refused to seize this chance, if only to get out of this place, the thought of being here in darkness with boredom and your thoughts as your only company made his soul shudder.
With that in mind Madara finally said.
"I accept your proposal of the chance of being able to walk among the living again, along with the gifts given by which you present to me." Madara said in gratitude. Before a Question struck him.
"Which reminds me." Madara said with a curious look. "What world will I be transported to? And what will I be dealing with?" Madara asked with curiosity.
Indra merely smiled in appreciation and gratitude before replying, "The world you will go into is called Remnant, there you will find that the place is comprised of warriors called Huntsmen and huntresses, what they do is to try and fight the darkness that somehow spawned the creatures known as the Grimm. Creatures who hunt down humans with another race called the faunus, they just look like any human, the exception is with extra body features mainly animals parts ranging from cat ears, tails and dogs or foxes and even a rare winged faunus."
That last bit of information caught Madara's attention, 'Humans with animal features, along with warriors that fight against the so-called creatures of darkness, the old saying of you learning something everyday does no justice' Madara thought with interest and anticipation. The former for being able to see them up close and might be able to find what makes them great other than the traits and abilities given to them. The latter for being to see how strong they are. Granted they may be strong in their own right, but with him involved they may not hold a candle against the blistering sun.
Because huntsmen, old and new, they are no Hashirama.
But his inquiry from his thoughts were cut off by Indra, and for the first time he saw an angry visage said, "While they are fighting the Grimm, Remnant is not without internal issues, for you see there are four continents with major territories called the four kingdoms, and their names are as follows: Atlas, Vacuo, Mistral, and Vale. Each with their own rules and customs, but they share one common thing, discrimination of Faunus sorely based on their features. And because of this a war entirely for individualism was called "the great war", it was messy to say the least." Indra said with a fair amount of disdain. But continued on.
"With the war over, the faunus formed a group called the white fang that is a peaceful organization, but I fear it is heading towards a dark path that will result them to be a group of terrorists that hunt down other people, be they huntsmen, human and even their own kind with the latter with the choice to join their cause or die where they stand, doesn't help the fact that the Grimm can in fact sense negative emotions that range from hatred, jealousy, and despair." Indra finished with barely restrained contempt.
Madara was internally baffled by the idiocy of the people of Remnant, how they try to kill each other for individualism and prejudice especially with the threat of the Grimm looming above their heads is beyond his comprehension.
But Indra calmed down enough but with anger still in his eyes, spoke again. "While it is indeed tragic, I am sure you can handle it, because you dealt worst than mere fools who they think they are better than others with their arrogance rearing it's ugly head."
The former Uchiha patriarch nodded his head in silent agreement and asked.
"Now, When do we start." Madara asked. Ready for the trials that would have made his heart beating if he was alive.
Indra smiled again and said, "We will start now," but his smile vanished and his tone spoke of caution.
"But be forewarned, the process of bringing you back will be grueling and painful for you so steel yourself." Indra said with complete seriousness while performing the specific hand signs that Madara was too familiar with.
[GEDO: RINNE TENSEI NO JUTSU]
Madara's single covered eye widened when he saw Indra's eyes turned into the same ripple pattern eye that he possesses, but the difference is that that it had the same six commas that Sasuke had.
Indra took notice but said nothing because what he is about to do is risky and if not used properly will lead to severe consequences, especially in this plain of existence with another justu that is about to be performed. With the final handsign, both of his Rinnegan eyes began glowing with power did he perform the final technique.
[AMENOMINAKA]
Madara is now experiencing the pain of which he not felt since being impaled by black Zetsu. And it felt like an eternity when in fact it was no more than 4 minutes did Madara feel that throughout the whole ordeal did he noticed one thing he never felt in a long time…
A heartbeat.
(Scene Break)
(an unknown location)
(Third POV)
Eyes snap widely and got up with a jolt in a guarded stance and looked around in trepidation did he realize he is alone and drop his guard slightly, but still on alert, And observed closely that he is in a wooded area with nothing but trees and leaves being prominent and a sound of a river that resulted Madara looking to his left, finding out what it was, he starts walking towards it and getting down on his knees and check if it was cleaned enough to drink which it was and begin to drink in vigor.
Having his fill he looked around one more time to check again, with the former Uchiha patriarch finished his observation he looked and noticed a scroll barely two feet away from him, on it was the symbol of the the Rinnegan that he remembered finding on the moon via activation of the infinite tsukuyomi, 9 commas and all.
Seeing it he picked it up and opened it, then his eyes widened when he saw a list of seals, medical ointments and weapons, but not just any weapons, it's the ones he used including his iconic warfan and scythe with linked chains to complete the set. And his attention is focused on one name that he decided to unseal immediately.
And from that was the same armor he wore during the fourth great ninja war, he noticed that it is also repaired completely to the point as if it had never been burned by the flames of Amaterasu.
'If it were up to me, I would jump back to the Elemental Nations and kill the brat, then proceed to literally dance on his corpse for damaging my precious armor' Madara thought with a twitching eyebrow.
(Back at the Elemental Nations, again!)
A certain Avenger felt a cold chill ran up his spine.
"Why do I feel like I pissed off someone for no apparent reason?" Sasuke asked to himself, but shrugged it off and then continued walking back to the village and see what his daughter would want for her birthday this year.
(Back to Madara)
While these fiendish thoughts were passing through his mind Which would made Hidan be green with envy, Madara noticed he didn't have any clothes on makes much more imperative to hide his decency. He refused to suffer from rapid fangirls that get funny ideas, especially from him going commando dammit! Because his old rivals face is not imbedded in his chest anymore.
Indra is no doubt laughing his ass off from his predicament from the other side, he just knows it!
It didn't take long to finish clothing himself, and proceed to check and see if he still possess chakra only to see he still had it. Which was a huge relief that the jutsu performed by Indra worked well in the end. Focusing back at the scroll and his weapon inventory and various kinds of tools mainly kunai, shuriken, and needles to name a few.
With his inspection done and over with, he got up and starting to travel into the woods. Ignoring the rain clouds that are gathering as he moved, unaware of the coming fight that will change the course of time.
