I apologize to those who read my other story UoT but I have decided to start all over. After rereading UoT I didn't like the way I started things so just consider this a rewrite. I really do hope that no one is too mad and just tell me if this new version is fine and point out my mistakes
I really love the manga Naruto so I decided to use a few elements of the manga such as chakra, Justus, villages, and the Akatsuki (which will be represented by the revived Dark Forest warriors). If you are not familiar with the elements I will explain in the beginning of every chapter (or comment/pm and I'll explain to you directly)
Enjoy!
A gust of wind blew into the dimly lit study causing the candle to flicker between the man with fiery orange hair and the scrolls before him. The window should be closed. Paying no heed to the foreign presence in the room, he continued looking over the scroll--over the unnerving details of the prophecy he was entrusted with.
Amber eyes watched with careful precision even the slightest of movements of the jade eyed man, for he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice—oh no, this time he is prepared for what is to come.
Despite his age, Firestar of the Hidden Thunder is not one to be trifled with, this Tigerclaw had found out the hard way explaining why he swallowed his pride and carefully planned his counterattack against Firestar, and more importantly, against the village that had cast him out in favor of an outsider. This time, he knew—he knew that the moment he had been waiting for is coming, his bloodlust would finally be quenched.
Firestar snapped the scroll shut and fed it to the fire, stood up, and faced the person in the shadows, all in one swift motion. "How many times must I kill you to make sure you stay in your grave?" he growled, venom laced in his words.
Amber eyes glanced at the scroll in the flames and back to Firestar who had taken a defensive stance in front of his desk. By no means was this man stupid or arrogant, he knew that Tigerclaw had the advantage with his younger, stronger body compared to his worn and frail (read: old) body.
Tigerclaw sneered and shook his head in mock disappointment . "Aren't you happy to see your old mentor alive and well?" Jade eyes narrowed and fists trembled in what could've been mistaken for fear. "Oh? Are these the manners you teach the children of Thunder these days?"
"I will not allow you to harm anyone of the Thunder for as long as I live." Firestar firmly stated, much to Tigerclaw's amusement. What once would've been a fearsome threat is nothing coming from an old man such as Firestar in his current state.
"Don't worry, I will make sure the future generations of the Thunder are raised correctly as soon as you are dead." This was what had Firestar worried. If Tigerclaw succeeds in killing him, then soon enough the warriors of the Thunder will loose their humanity under his reign.
Tigerclaw moves.
The candle blows out from sudden movement.
Firestar's blood is dripping on the wooden floor.
The reign of Tigerstar has begun.
