Chapter 1
Past events
There is a legend; about a man who was once called the Rikudo Sennin, his power was god like. However, that is not why he was called a legend, no, the real reason why he was regarded as such was because of what he did. He used his vast power to combat a great beast, a monster among monsters, something that even the most battle hardened soldiers or the most cold hearted killers have nightmares about. A beast with massive ten tails, a great giant; the Jubi. Yet despite the creature's overwhelming might the great sage was able to subdue and seal the monster inside his own body and with its power create what would be known as the world of shinobi.
However, the beast's power was too great to be contained for very long and the sage knew that once he died the beast would be free to terrorize the world once again. However, the sage did the unthinkable and divided the beast's power into nine different incarnations and scatter them across the globe.
It was around this time when another great beast would emerge into the world, a monstrosity with power equal to that of the Jubi; the Destroyer. A great dragon of unknown origin and unbridled fury. It is said that its massive form could block out the sun, spreading a great shadow of dread across the land, leaving nothing but utter chaos and destruction in its wake.
Yet like the jubi this beast was stopped by the most unlikely of people; a samurai whose name has been forgotten through history. Wielding the great blade Muramasa he combated the destroyer and somehow ended up managing to cut his soul up into nine different monsters and banished them to different locations across the world.
However, much like the jubi and the destroyer the most powerful of each respective nine would encounter one another and battle it out throughout the centuries, thus continuing the great rivalry.
Which brings us to a great event that is about to take place. One so devastating that it'll shake the foundations of the shinobi world.
Such an event takes place in a hidden village in the whirlpool country, which is the home of the Uzumaki clan. This village was also the bithplace of one special Uzumaki; Uzumaki Kushina a.k.a. the future wife of Namikaze Minato and mother of Uzumaki Naruto however she couldn't witness what was about to take place because she was being relocated to another village.
The village was quiet, and peaceful, however that was about to change, later on in the evening a giant pillar of black flames erupted out of the center of the village.
The geyser of flames touched the sky causing dark clouds to form around it and just as quickly as it came the tower of fire vanished leaving nothing but charred ground behind giving the residents and shinobi of the village a sense of eerie calm. Then everything went black, so black that everyone couldn't even see anything around them. However they quickly wished that it stayed that way because just as fast as the tower of fire appeared hundreds of blood red slitted eyes appeared, staring down everyone in the village.
It continued like this for a few seconds; terrifying the civilians, the shinobi thought it was some sort of genjutsu and quickly tried to dispel it but all their efforts were in vane. They soon realized that this was no genjutsu. Then just as quickly as they appeared they started moving in the same direction. They slid across the darkness all fusing into two giant demonic eyes that were able to pierce the very souls of the villagers.
Like the eyes the darkness began to mutate and expand. It slowly formed around the newly formed eyes of the giant creature. Soon another pair of giant eyes came into existence followed by another. The three sets of eyes formed a triangle as the darkness settled on the figure. Light soon returned to the village as the creature began to form and solidify itself. Out of the darkness came two heavily muscled front legs covered in pitch black fur with claws the size of a small shop and sharper than a sword.
Next the shadow receded towards the back of the creature revealing an equally muscled body covered in pitch black fur. As the darkness made its way to the back of the creature it revealed hind legs that were the same as the front legs and a tail that was as long as the kyuubi's the demon's head or heads were still covered in shadow however, the shadow heads raised themselves to the sky and let out an earth shaking roar that quickly dissipated the darkness revealing three massive dog shaped heads covered in equally dark skin.
Sharp fangs glistened in the moonlight as the village shinobi attacked the giant hellhound on instinct, launching wave after wave of their most powerful jutsu at the monster but their attacks did little to no damage at all to the creature. Actually they only served to piss it off as it quickly took in its surroundings and noticed all of the people that were attacking it. Each head tilted back in three different directions then thrusted forward and unleashed a massive beam of black flames that quickly incinerated any would be attacker, buildings, and villagers.
However the creature didn't stop there instead it turned into a huge pile of black liquid that spilled all over the center of the village. The black substance then began to recede and take the shape of an entire pack of blood thirsty wolf like creatures each with six sets of blood red eyes (imagine alucard when he's in his dog form).
They attacked anything that moved civilian, shinobi, it made no difference in the end most of the population was wiped out in a matter of minutes. Then the pack of demons joined together reforming the giant three headed dog. Black fireballs then erupted out of its body, engulfing the village in a sea of black flames that instantly incinerated everything they touched. And with a mighty roar it literally leveled almost the entire village leaving nothing but a massive flaming crater where it was standing. It scanned what remained of the village, looking for any survivors when its eyes came to rest on two people standing on the roof of a crumbled building.
One was a man and the other was a woman, the man had on the standard jonin attire while the woman wore standard ANBU gear, the man had short black hair that was combed back giving him a kind of Italian look, he had a medium build and was in great shape. The woman had long black hair that went down to the middle of her back and her ANBU mask was that of a bird. The man kept his headband tied to his waist so it acted like a belt with the symbol for whirlpool on it.
In the woman's arms was a baby wrapped in a blanket the boy had just been born and was asleep despite all the chaos. They each looked at their son lovingly before facing the creature just then the village chief appeared in front of them wearing his elder robes with the kanji for whirlpool on it. "You're sure you want to do this?" he asked the couple while the beast watched them with evident curiosity "yes" was their only reply.
"Very well then, you're aware of the cost of this jutsu right?" he asked them "yeah we may no be as strong as Konoha's yellow flash but together we may be able to do it" the man said. "Very well then" replied the Mizukage in a melancholy tone "I'll distract it while you two prepare".
He jumped at the monster and went through a few seals "Suiton: Suiryudan no jutsu!" he spat out a flood of water that formed into a dragon that launched itself at the monster. It took a direct hit without even flinching. Disappointment evident in its eyes, "Hyouton: Haryuu Muuko!" the water turned into an ice dragon/tiger hybrid that rammed itself at the demon. Once again not a scratch he landed on a building with the creature facing him "Suiton: Tempu dama!" he spat a massive water bullet at the creature. It popped like a balloon "Hijutu: sensatsu suisho!".
A thousand needles hit the creature but to no avail the elder charged up as much chakra as he could went through a few seals and unleashed one of his most powerful techniques "Hyouton: Kokuryuu Bofuusetsu!" three black ice dragon's collided with the monster and turned into a giant vortex that enveloped the demon.
Growing irritated at the humans wasted efforts to subdue him, the monster dispersed the tornado with a mighty roar and hurled a stream of flames at the man. He barely managed to dodge the blast, however, he didn't escape unscathed as his left arm was taken from him in the process.
"Now!" yelled the village leader "right!" yelled the couple they went through a few handsigns "Fuuin no jutsu!: Shikifuuin!" they yelled at the same time just then the shinigami appeared behind them with their souls in its possession "you know the price of my services humans". The nodded in acknowledgement "very well" he flew at the beast reached into it and with a little trouble ripped out its soul and shoved it into the baby.
"My work is done" said the reaper while he swallowed the souls of the boy's parents and and vanished while the elder picked up the bundle and said you two will be heroes, he looked at the beasts body but noticed it turned into a black mist that entered the boys body through the seal. "Interesting he said well at least that takes care of cleanup".
While the elder took the baby with him and searched for survivors "we'll have to relocate but I'll have to wait for that conformation from Konoha about Kushina's relocation she was a real handful but I'm sure they'll be able to handle her I hope."
