The New and the Old
The trees, that were left swayed in the wind, leaves silently fluttering to the forest floor as if in mourning for their brethren. All the animals had long since fled, for evidence of a massive battle was seen. Trees were sliced in half, too cleanly for an axe, burned to cinders, too neatly for a forest fire. Weatherworn too much for any natural storm, and craters that could only be made by something monstrous. Through this destruction one man was shuffling around the desolation. He was tall, almost certainly six feet, broad shoulders and a massive build, but he was old. White hair, that might have once been blond, and his eyes, they were a deep violet. He felt a chakra signature approaching rapidly, one that would be here in minutes. All was according to plan.
The man remembered a better day, where children could laugh without fear. A noise drew his attention and his head snapped toward the sound. There was nothing there, there never was, not anymore. All that was left were trees, me and him. Nothing was left alive. He remembered when he found a person ,the first he'd seen in eleven years. He hoped he never found anyone again.

Running from the tiger, the humongous beast, bigger than three houses and smarter than some men. Dashing from tree to tree he heard it roar in fury and more trees bend to its might. The tiger crunched through and was close behind him. Flipping upside-down he shouted, Suiton: Bakuhatsu Dangan, a huge bullet of water blasted the tiger in the face and flipped it over and crashing to the forest floor. Landing on the side of a tree he boosted himself back toward the beast. Kunai in hand he fell eagerly to its head. Moments away he was lazily batted away. Holding his ribs and cursing his brashness as the monster stood up.
Tori-Inu-Uma-Tori, Fuuton: Senkia no Kaze. Clasping his hands together he began to draw them apart and between his hands was a small sphere a wind. The sphere tore close to the creature, throwing his hands apart the ball expanded to gigantic proportions encompassing the whole of the tiger. It roared in pain as it was sliced into many, many, thin ribbons of flesh. Slumping to one knee he surveyed his surroundings. Where the thing once stood were five inch thick gouges in the ground and trees, and of course the stinking stripes of tiger alamode.
Climbing a tree he noticed a cottage overlooking a cliff not too far away. Limping along he made it to the house in ten minutes. Knocking he waited. Knocking some he said,
" Hello, anybody home".
The ensuring silence was a letdown ,but it always was wasn't it, he thought. Opening the door he was surprised but happy to see a lady in the house. Glancing around he checked it out. The house was small, it opened directly into the dining room which had a rug on the floor, a fireplace, and a large window that overlooked the cliff. The small kitchen was to the left and on the right a tiny closet of a bedroom.
"Hey lady why didn't you answer the door, I'm starving got any fo-", he stopped mid-sentence. She was staring up at the roof, in the vague direction of the moon ,with a soft smile on her face. He noticed there were cobwebs on the ceiling, odd. It looked like she was in a genjutsu. He was confused because he did not sense anyone for one-thousand yards and anyone with enough chakra to cast one from that far away he would surely feel them.
Leaving his position at the door he snapped his fingers in her face to make sure, yep genjutsu. Preparing to break it he felt his chakra surging up like a wave, but he held it back, "Kia" he whispered. The women's eyes gradually lost their glazed quality and she slowly blinked.
With complete clarity she said, " Where's Fainda-kun"?
"Who," he replied? Fainda my husband, where is causes I know he was about to go get some wood but-. She stopped horror adorning her face.
"No, it can't be, he wouldn't, no," she whispered, as memories of the messenger coming came back, "No," she said as she remembered his funeral, NO she shouted as memories of her sitting alone in the cottage came back. I got to get back, have to get back, gotta-.
Whoa lady calm down everything will be all right. I'll find your husband. He thought it was working as she slowly calmed down. She then calmly said, "I'll be going now". She suddenly jumped out the window plummeting to her death and toward the rocks and crashing ocean. Leaping out after her landed he landed on the surface of the water just in time to, watch her splat into the water. Her blood splattered on the rocks and all over him. The water slowly turned red as the women sank into its' depths. He wiped the blood off his face and dove underwater crying for all people trapped in the genjutsu.
Going back up to the house was hard, he didn't want to but he knew he had to check the house for supplies. Taking all the canned food from the kitchen he went in search of something. He found it in the tiny bedroom. Suki, her name was Suki. He took a blanket ,tore a strip off and tied it to his leg. He wanted to remember this moment, remember, so he knew what he was fighting for. On the new strip was a name, Suki.
After that he had two more cases like her. One where a man held his breath and another where, no, best not to think about that one. Later he avoided stationary people, whose chakra sluggishly swirled in the pattern of that genjutsu.
(Flashback end)
Ducking under a tree he came to his destination, a clearing a mile wide and two miles long, and covering the whole thing was a huge seal array. A man his mirror image ,white hair violet eyes, thirty yards away nodded to him and faded away. With a burst of chakra he performed a shunshin to the center of the array. Sitting cross legged he slashed through the marks closest to him. The array glowed light green and the turned a deep blue. A small flaming golden barrier with seals flowing into it sprung up around his hunched form. He started a long series of hand signs . Right after he finished a man burst through the trees. The man was a little taller than he was with spiky black hair down his back and a flowing white robe. His eyes were purple but unlike his the man's had a distinct ripple pattern. The man put his hands in the tatsu seal and said, "Amaterasu : Jigoku no Kokuruyu." A ten-headed dragon burst from his mouth and rammed the barrier. When the smoke cleared the old man was hunched over and shaking, trying to hold in his laughter. He failed. HAHAHHAHaHaHahaha! Meanwhile the seals all over the clearing were seeping into the flaming golden barrier. "
"Is that the best you can do Madara-sempai, steal from Sasuke-teme."
"Why I haven't seen new jutsu from you for years." At that time all the seals had completed their journey into the barrier.
"I am not your equal, you are beneath me and I will crush you like a bug."
Madara stated. That said Madara assumed his complete ultimate Susanoo and proceeded to slash the barrier with all four swords. Deactivating Susanoo Madara started a long series of seals. The clearing was destroyed and a ten mile trench was scorched into the country side. The only piece of land left was where the old man sat, on a sixty foot high spire, covered by the barrier. The barrier flickered unnoticed by Madara who was busy, the old man blinked slowly.
As soon as he finished Madara said, "Suition: Suijin no Gekido
The old man looked up. There was a dragon big enough to dwarf Madara's Susanoo, big enough to cover the sky, and it was spewing out of his mouth.
The old man blinked, repositioned himself, and said, "Well that's new."
The eight legged dragon thundered in response. A torrent of water exited its mouth and each of its eight legs started throwing huge globs of water. For the next twelve minutes all he could see was water. The water abruptly stopped, and started again when the dragon itself crashed into the barrier. Fifteen minutes later the waterfall stopped. With a fourth of his chakra gone he stood up and let the barrier go, the seals were ready. The seals started to crawl up his body like snakes, creeping into his violet eyes. Madara floated down and hovered in the air two feet off the ground. That was great, that technique had no flaw. Get it cause of your name.
Madara said nothing. Turning around he saw the trench Madara had made was filled. He smiled nervously and said, "Hehehe, wow a new ocean," he smiled widely and said, "If you wanted to go into renovation I know this great guy and-
"I don't understand you, why fight when I've already won?" speaking monotone.
Cause I'm Naruto Namikaze Uzamaki and I never give up, he smirked or let murderers get away. With a snarl Madara fired two black balls reminiscent of tailed beast balls.
Naruto held out his hand in front of him and seals on his hands absorbed. Still smirking he said, "I will kill you Madara-baka, whether its today, tomorrow, or maybe, yesterday."
Madara's rinnegan eyes widened, that's why he had stopped actively searching for me for fifteen years, that's why I had to find him! Amassing as much Juubi chakra as he could control he disappeared in a blur and reappeared behind Naruto arm outstretched.
A boom sounded signaling Madara breaking the sound barrier.
Turning around he is shocked to see Naruto still alive and glowing. He quickly throws a kunai at him and watches as it passes through him. No sharingan, so its not Kaumi, could it be he developed a new technique. Naruto turned to look at Madara growing brighter by the second, smiling, for the first time in twenty-eight years he was smiling, and it felt good! Its too late Uchiha, I'll kill you in your sleep. A bright flash erupted, and the last thing anyone could say they ever truly heard was, Naruto's shout of joy.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooHHHhhhhoooooooooooooo!
Author's note
This was supposed to have already been here but I made the note in Doc manager and it did not show up. So here goes.
Wow first chapter!
This is my first story so I need lots of feedback. Was it too long, to short? What did you not like, what would you like too see more of. If you see any errors in my writing point them out and I'll be happy too fix them. Or you cold save me the trouble and just become my Beta reader. Anyone interested in that all you have to do is review.
I will be doing a jutsu library so you can understand all those jutsu. I've read hundreds of stories and because some of them had Japanese I had only half an idea of what was going on.
I made all these up using Google translator and so any one that knows Japanese, please correct me.
Jutsu library
Suiton : Suijin no Gekido - Water style: Suijin's Rage; Suijin is a Japanese water god,(I think)?
Suiton: Bakuhatsu Dangan - Water style: Exploding bullet
Amaterasu Jigoku no Kokuruyu - Amaterasu: Black Dragon of Hell
Fuuton: Senkia no Kaze - Wind style: Whirling Winds
This next section is for some of the people who don't know all the Japanese honorifics. For a long time I struggled to understand stories in between scores of Japanese terms.
I still do. I encounter new ones everyday. But here you don't have to know all those words. You don't have to be too smart,(not that I'm calling you stupid,(*sweat drop*))
Uh, on to the library!
Japanese Honorific Library, (That's a mouthful)
For this thing I will post some that I used and some that I didn't.
This is coming straight from Wiki so anyone fluent in Japanese is welcome to correct me.
Kun - used by those of senior status addressing those of junior status, or when referring to male children, teenagers, or friends. Kun is usually used with boys although it is not a hard rule. It can just as easily be used for a girl.
Senpia (pronounced Sempia) - used to refer to those of higher rank than oneself. A colleague with more experience is a senpia but one's boss is not senpia.
Kohia - the reverse of Senpia, kohia is used to refer to those of junior rank. Like Senpia it can also be used as a suffix and a stand alone title. Kohia is rarely used and kun is used in its stead.
Teme - literally translates to (you) but it is a very rude way of it. It is the equivalent of bastard or ***hole though that is not a direct translation
