The Three Titans

Disclaimer: The Land of War and the Land of Steel are my creation, please ask me if you want to use them or any aspect of my story please, thank you.

Long ago before the great shinobi wars, before the nine tailed demons came forth out the darkness...there was a ancient legend that had existed for thousands of years that dwelt in the minds of the Kages for all their lives...three Titans would come forth, each with incredible power and strength beyond any mortal shinobi alive, knowledge of techniques that could devastate all land, even the very strength of two great demons...the great village of the flames of the land would host one of the two strongest of the Titans, the Titan of Will, able to bring light to those in need, break the chains of the past to bring forth a new future, and would be known far and wide for their light...the weaker of the three would come from the small village of the coast aside the great land of the flames, a destiny laid before this Titan, the Titan of Hope, even as the weakest of these Titans they would be the strongest of heart, even as strong as the Titan of Will, and will bring forth the power needed to give the fallen a chance to get back up, the power to become stronger after each fall and would become one of the greatest of legends to come forth...and the last yet also as strong as the Titan of Will, the second to house a great demon of power but this Titan would be more than just a simple warrior with the blood of heroes in their veins, for the third Titan is the Titan of a power stronger than courage, mightier than justice...they would be the Titan of Heart, more than just plain blood and muscle, transcending the destiny that fate would throw at others, the power to change destiny and fight what fate has in store for them, the power to even change a demon from their path of darkness. The Titan of Heart, the Titan of Will, and the Titan of Hope, their strength would be compared and their power tested, but the greatest reason they would become the Three Titans would be the true destiny they will achieve to even protect the ones they hold dear, and unite together to pierce through the darkness of the juggernaut of fate...the legend has been passed down from then and no one would remember the legend...except for the juggernaut of fate...and the three leaders of the villages of the Titans...one of those leaders was currently waiting for their apprentice to finish her training match, pondering why the legend of the Three Titans was brought into her mind, why now?

"Come on, I'm not even using my full strength," Sakura joked but then regretted provoking her opponent who countered the restrained punch with a field of afterimages before the wind died down. I learned from our last sparring matches, this time I'll be able to hit you! Snapping her head around her fist shot through thin air before she was winded by a strong knee jab right in the stomach followed by a powerful kick to the back and then ended with Sakura being slammed into the ground cracking the earth with a minor shockwave. "You didn't have to go all out,"

"I didn't Sakura," Unlike most other kunoichi, Kaiten Arashi, nicknamed by Sakura and every other classmate of theirs as the Dragon of Kunoichis, especially with her own tattoo of the dragon kanji on her shoulder. Sakura also knew that Kaiten was a master of the fierce Ryuhaken, the fierce leaf dragon fist technique that was one of the strongest in Konoha, even as strong as the Lotus techniques. Kaiten stood at a fair height of five foot nine, but fierce green eyes along with short flaming red hair that added to her nickname Dragon of Kunoichis', along with her well toned body due to her taijutsu training and her almost steel strong build. Even though she was a fierce taijutsu user, she also was a well balanced shinobi in genjutsu and ninjutsu with good tool skills even having fought Ten-ten and won. "By the way, why haven't you advanced to chunin yet?"

"Same reason you haven't Kaiten, haven't gone through the chunin exams but I still made it anyway," Kaiten nodded as she sighed and stretched out popped all of her limbs sending shivers up Sakura's spine. "Do you have to do that?"

"You know I'm the only kuniochi you know of who doesn't use medical jitsu, heck, all my medical knowledge is from taijitsus," Both of them knew the real reason why Kaiten never used medical jitsus, it was her greatest desire to become a kuniochi without medical techniques, and she had even proven to several teachers how fierce of a kunoichi she was with taijitsu. "By the way, who was that shinobi you were introducing to Sai?"

"He's the son of the current Sekage of Sensogakure, the village hiding in war, they are known as the brother village of Kotetsugakure, hiding in steel," A small wind kicked up and then a shinobi appeared before them, short silver blond hair with almost pale green eyes. His headband was pale grey in color with a symbol in the shape of a wind but there were four of them connected, four long three pointed stars pointing inward around one circle. "Hitokaze, this is my friend Kaiten Arashi, Kaiten, this is Hitokaze, and he's a genin from Sensogakure."

"Please Sakura-sama, just call me Tokaze," Unusual for any shinobi she had seen, he wore metal plate armor over his legs and even his chest, he also wore an armored short vest with no armor over his arms except for the gloves with armor over his fists. But what surprised Kaiten was the blue mask over his mouth and the obvious well trained state of his body but the fact that his body was almost at a perfect state, almost as if he was engineered to be in such a perfect condition. "The Sensokage and Hokage would like to speak to us,"

"Hai, come on then Kaiten, sensei wanted to talk to you anyway,"

"You weren't kidding about them being from Sensogakure, they look like living war machines," Besides the Sensokage who was wearing a giant cloak around their body, the one shinobi with the Sensokage was wearing almost full metal armor similar to Hitokaze but armor over the arms along with their headband over their shoulder. Even though they were there for an alliance with Konoha, Kaiten and Sakura could feel the immense aura they both possessed, even the Sensokage seemed to be as great as Tsunade even though both were relaxed. Just who are these shinobi, they wear all this armor yet so far I've never heard the armor even creak...Sakura thought to herself as the Sensokage turned to Hitokaze before pulling off their hat.

"Musuko, have you been keeping up your training?" Even Shizune was surprised to see both the Sensokage and Hitokaze embrace each other, the Sensokage's cloak dropped revealing a young woman wearing the exact same type of attire as Hitokaze but her vest was open and underneath was a tank top but also two blue shrukien symbols on each armor plate and her mask had two white stripes on them and pulled down around her neck. For once in her life, Sakura felt relaxed as she looked at the two hugging each other and the Sensokage broke off her tender embrace and turned to Sakura with a smile on her face. "Sakura, thank you for looking after my son,"

"Uh….your welcome…" Sakura replied in stunned silence, except for her sea green eyes and dark short blond hair she was almost like Hitokaze, and her own level of beauty was very high and her body was well toned and yet she also had a high level of grace about her despite her strong build yet it was similar to Hitokaze's, both light yet strong. "…Lady Sensokage…I…uh…"

"Please, we are here for a both a treaty and a true alliance between our two villages, and call me Lady Reikaze instead, Sensokage is just my title and it's a mouthful to say a lot." Tsunade was a bit surprised by her almost peaceful personality but she knew that Reikaze had not acted peaceful for no reason and became Sensokage acting so nice. Her thoughts drifted back to when she had met Reikaze for the first time, and understood the power that lay underneath her calm and peaceful personality…

Flashback

"It is quite a surprise to learn that a shinobi village has been so close to our own yet has never shown their presence to anyone," Tsunade stated while Reikaze nodded, the young woman beside her stood like a vigilant hawk yet in the same style of clothes as Reikaze yet more armor. Unlike her, she possessed almost pale copper hair cut short with the same style of toned body as Reikaze but on her left eye was covered by two different cloths and she looked at Shizune with her uncovered bright icy blue glacier eye. "And you, the proclaimed Kage of your village-"The young woman had pulled out a katana from her back and glared at Tsunade but Reikaze shook her head.

"Forgive Kajina, she is my apprentice and her parents died to protect our former Sensokage and my husband, to her that is an insult, and as far I am concerned that is an insult to my deceased husband," Reikaze stated as the young woman, Kajina, sheathed her blade before touching the side of her face where a metal plate covered her eye and she bit her lip. "Tsunade, we of Sensogakure have come here to draw up a peace treaty with your village, and this insult is more than great enough for me to kill you."

"Are you here to try and kill me and start a war or make a treaty?" Tsunade waited to see her reaction, but Reikaze was calm unlike Kajina, who was ready to strike her down without a second thought.

"Tsunade, what test of my strength do you purpose to prove my worthiness of being recognized as Kage of Sensokagure?"
