Second stop on my editing extravaganza. I hope this is better suited to an actual plot that has meaning to someone out there. Enjoy!
Prologue: Darkness
The bloody sun was setting over the sad land, unable to obscure the bodies strewn across the cold ground. Countless people, men, women, children, all lay dead on the crimson soaked ground. Thousands of ninja from Konoha, Kirigakure, Suna, and Oto lay dead or dying on the ground. Weapon shattered by chakra and people shattered by weapon. This was a land to far gone to save.
Three remained, all dying next to each other. Bloodsoaked and miserable, team seven lay beside each other, accepting the end.
"Remember those first days, when we were genin?"Sasuke wheezed, ignoring his fatal injuries for the moment.
"Yeah," Sakura chuckled weakly. "I was dubbed useless and you and Naruto were always fighting about who was better."
The fox jinchuuriki managed a weak smile at the two people he loved the most."And now we are all here, stronger than the sennin, and It still wasn't enough to save our home."
"We barely finished the son of a bitch off too," Sasuke snarled softly, lack of breath not helping him speak.
"If only we had more time to prepare, it wouldn't have ended like this."
"Quit the dying sap fest!" Kyuubi snarled in their minds, cutting them off.
"Well, we're dying, Kurama. I think we have a reason for it." Sakura replied snarkily, not letting her sarcastic attitude go even in her final moments.
"I'm not dying today, I refuse, " The Fox snarled, energy spiking. "If this imbecile dies, so do I, and if you die, he won't want to live. Obviously, for me to live, the three of you must survive."
"Well," Sasuke replied. "we can't exactly move you know. Kinda half dead from killing Madara."
" Secret of the Final Tail: Reverse Alithian Tempus!" The Nine tails howled, and the world of blood faded into shadows.
A prologue that doesn't make me feel like this story will be pathetic. It's a good start.
