The Rinnegan Chronicles: The Price of Wisdom
The age of Alchemy has passed, and the age of Ninja is now, but the Wise One is unwilling to let his power fade away. Who will be his legacy?
Prologue
The Wise One
In darkness, there is death The Wise One thought sadly as the village below him burst into flames.
Without warning, this unnamed village had become the target of the Kyuubi no Kitsune's rage. What few civilians with combat experience had already been obliterated by the fury of the Ruler of the Bijuu.
Men, women and children had fled and died by the hundreds. Unable to save their lives, lest Kyuubi's fury fall upon him, the Wise One could only observe with despair.
The village might have contained my legacy had they survived.
After what felt like days, the enraged demon left the smoldering wreckage behind, and the Wise One finally approached. Gently floating through the tattered and charred remains, he could find no trace of life…no, there was one source left. Soaring through the streets, the Wise One stopped over a hotel that had been blasted apart.
There! The Wise One glowed white with power, and the upper layers of the wreckage scattered. Under two crossbeams lay the shattered form of a teenage girl. Blood had been splashed across her face and body from the horrific wounds in her legs and abdomen. Her eyes were wide and glassy.
Had anyone else come across her, the diagnosis would have been "dead." But, barely there, not a heartbeat, not breathing, not even thoughts, a will flickered within her. The will to survive, the will to live, and the despair of death looming ever closer.
Again the Wise One gathered his power and spoke in a psychic voice that boomed with power.
"Pure Ply…" A bright light shone about her, as the Wise One healed the girl's body. Even a squad of ninja would never even consider trying, but the Wise One had found this unshakable will…the will that he must preserve…
"Girl…" The Wise One spoke, "Though you may object, you wish to survive. Your will is the will of someone who I once watched over. As such, I dub you my Legacy. The Legacy of the Golden Sun."
His body shimmered and dissolved into yellow, blue, purple, and red lights. More than half began to scatter into the forest and air, and the remaining portion coalesced into one sphere of white light that sank itself into the girl's body.
"I will sleep…" The Wise One said, "…until the right time…"
A.N. For God's sake, I've been writing several fanfics for a while and I've either gotten writer's block, or discarded the story for one or more of the below reasons:
The story got too far off track that I killed it
I rethought it and didn't like the story
The characters that I made are so Mary Sue-ish that I just HAD to kill them
End Reasons
I'm trying very hard to write a good story that doesn't have people rolling their eyes while they read it. So far, I've gotten the first eight chapters mapped out, and going under serious revision. Posts will be very slow, and during the summer; inconsistent. So, if you picked this fic because you thought it was interesting, or because you've read some of my others, thank you for reading and please feel free to tell me if I'm getting better or worse at this.
