This story takes place after chapter 466 of the Manga. It will include Anime and Game references though. It will extend until the end of Part II.
The chapters until the end of the Five Kage Summit Arc will have some similarities with the manga, but from then on the story will differ.
Lastly, I don't own Naruto. The original story and characters are all part of the magnificient work Kishi-sensei has done over the last decade.
Also, check my other story - "Bleach: Everything is Obtained"
Chapter 1 - The Eye of the Moon Plan
"Shouldn't I go with you? You'll need someone to track down Naruto when you reach the Land of Iron, Sakura." Kiba tried to reason with the medical-nin. Both of them were coming near the front gate, along with Shikamaru and Neji.
"There's no need for it. They must be travelling by the main roads, I'll get to them eventually." Sakura explained her motives to the trio of shinobi. "I want to...I need to talk to him by myself."
"What are you talking about? It's too dangerous for anyone of us to travel such a large distance all by himself! You..."
"Let her go, Kiba." Neji interrupted the Inuzuka clan member, who stared back at him with a scandalized look on his face.
"Sigh...Do what you must, Sakura but..." Shikamaru stared at her with a stern look. "...be careful with the approach you use with him."
"Right..." Sakura frowned as she got the message and then Shikamaru turned his back to return to the village.
"Wait a sec, Shikamaru! Where are you...? Huh? You too, Neji?" Kiba shouted as Neji immediately followed the Chunin. Soon after, Sakura was already passing through the gates leaving a frozen Kiba in his place.
"What's the matter?" Neji asked as he heard Shikamaru sighing again.
"All Ino could do was cry, but Sakura sure seems prepared." Shikamaru explained. "I don't know what she's going to tell Naruto...but I hope she does it the right way."
"Sakura's been thinking about this a lot." Neji remembered.
"Anyway...I want to keep Sakura's absence a secret. It'll remain between us both, Kiba and Sai."
"Sai too?" Neji asked.
"Yeah...While she's searching for them, we've got to make sure Root doesn't interfere. We'll need Sai for that." Shikamaru explained but Neji still supported an aprehensive look on his face. "We can thrust him. He did so on us by telling us about the appearence of the Kumo-nins. By the way, that must remain a secret too, a secret between us and Sai."
"Kiba will remain out of this one?" Neji asked as he felt Kiba reaching them, to which Shikamaru only nodded.
"Look what you've done!" The owner of the inn was shouting in the middle of the street, after seeing the damage done by the shinobi who were inside of the house minutes before. "This is why I hate shinobis!"
"S-sorry...I'll fix everything..." The embarassed Yamato assured to the inn's owner.
"What is Naruto thinking now?" Kakashi wondered as he stared to the wood pillars previously created by Yamato, where Naruto was seated.
Flashback
"Sasuke has taken on the hatred of the entire clan...and he will inflict that curse's hatred on the world. Hatred is his greates weapon, his friend...and his strength."
(...)
"Sasuke chose it himself."
End of Flashback
"I guess...I'll just have to ask him myself." Naruto decided after remembering Madara's earlier words. Then, he closed his eyes, while remaining still to initiate a Sage Mode training session.
"Oi, Naruto!" Kakashi called, causing Naruto to lose his focus. "There's no time for training. Come down so that Yamato fixes the damage we've done."
"It's not like we have somewhere to go..." The upset Naruto said as he landed by Kakashi's side.
"In fact, we have." Kakashi said as he pointed to the sky. To Naruto's surprise, a large cloud of smoke was covering it in the direction Kakashi was pointing. "It seems something went wrong in the summit..."
"Looks like the Raikage and Kazekage have gone up above." Jugo stated as he and Suigetsu reached the corridor that leaded into the building where the summit was occuring.
"Sasuke and Karin seem to have abandoned us. Shall we go upstairs, too?" Suigetsu asked to his remaining partner.
"They'll be on guard. We'll get caught right away." Jugo remembered.
"Yeah, but...I have a plan." Suigetsu said as he stared into the samurai that had been defeated earlier by Zetsu's clones.
"Looks like Shi was right and the Hokage got away!" Ë Yotsuki, the Fourth Raikage, shouted as he stepped into the middle of the half destroyed room where the Kage Summit had been held. Behind him, Mifune stabbed the last White Zetsu in the head with his katana. A large amount of smoke was raising to the outside, from the place where Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, had been fighting earlier. In front of him, Madara was helding the responsible for all the chaos over his right shouler.
"Yes...thanks to Sasuke." The levitating Onoki clarified. Then, it didn't even take two seconds. The lightning infused Ë charged towards Madara and attempted to punch him with his remaining hand, but he passed right through him. The punch had more than enough strength to make a large hole on the wall behind the Akatsuki leader. In order to protect Sasuke's body from any other possible attacks of the Yondaime Raikage, Madara used his jutsu to apparently suck Sasuke into the hole of his mask.
"Sasuke!" The afraid Karin silently called as Sasuke completely disappeared.
"No plan of Akatsuki's...can be anything good! Don't bother explaining!" Ë shouted as he came out of the mountain of rubble by him created. "Bring Sasuke back!"
"Then listen to me and depending on your answer, I might." Madara offered.
"Calm down, Raikage. It won't hurt to listen to him." Onoki of Both Scales told to his fellow Kage, as soon as he appeared by his side.
"Go heal Sasuke." Madara ordered, as out of nowhere he appeared behind Karin, much to her shock and of the ones who were closer to her: Darui and Mei Terumi. Karin screeched as she was warped as well to the hole in the orange mask of Madara.
"Where are we?" Karin asked as both her and the unconscious Sasuke were in the middle of a strange dark room that was composed by many pillars, with them both being on top of one of them.
"So that's Madara's power?" Kankuro asked.
"He can manipulate the space-time continuum..." Temari quickly analyzed.
"Now...are you willing to list to me, ladies and gentlemen?" Madara asked as he jumped to the horizontal wood pillar that was slightly above from the hole previously opened in a wall by Mei.
"Ladies and gentlemen?" The incredulous Gaara asked.
"It's rare for anyone to awaken Susanoo. I wanted him to improve his skills in a battle with the Five Kages. That's why I sent him here." Madara started by explaining Sasuke's appearance at the summit. "I also thought to weaken the Kages to the point they could be taken as hostages, but it looks like that's still out of Sasuke's reach."
"Hostages? What for?" Mei asked.
"To make my Moon's Eye plan go more smoothly." Madara simply added.
"I can't believe Madara Uchiha is really still alive..." Onoki admitted. "Why is someone of your caliber going about this in such a roundabout manner? As powerful as you are, you should be able to execute any plan without a hitch."
"The...wound...inflicted by the First Hokage, Hashirama, was too great...I am now a mere shell of my former self." Madara admitted in a quite distant tone of voice.
"So this...is a plan to return you to your former strength?" Shi tried to guess.
"Hmm...You could say that, but it isn't all." Madara said after a short moment, seeming like he suddenly snapped from his thoughts.
"What are you plotting? Just what is this Moon's Eye Plan?" Mifune demanded an answer.
"I want to take my time explaining...Have a seat please." Madara offered as he himself decided to sit on the pillar he was standing in.
"He asked what the plan was!" The furious Kankuro shouted. To everyone's surprise, Madara lifted his left index finger.
"Everything will become one with me! It will be a perfect union. I will be complete." Madara announced.
"Become one? A perfect union? What do you mean?" Onoki asked.
"I'm able to use a certain jutsu...A one of a kind in fact."
"A certain jutsu? What is it? What are you planning to do?" The impacient Onoki insisted.
"All Uchiha with a fully matured Sharingan are able to cast a hypnotic genjutsu that enables them to take control of a person's actions. Demonic Illusion: Hypnotic Wheel is the name. There were some members of the clan that were able to cast it in more than one person at the same time. The last one was...what was his name again? Uh, Sarui...Sasui...Ah, Shisui I think."
"It matches with what Ao told us. Danzo was using the Sharingan of Shisui Uchiha to control Mifune earlier." Mei remembered everyone.
"Still, this isn't the jutsu you meant, right?" Gaara asked.
"Ahh, so they know about Shisui's right eye being with Danzo huh?" Madara thought to himself before continuing. "That's right, young Kazekage. The jutsu I meant is the most powerful illusion ever, Mugen Tsukuyomi.
"Mugen...Tsukuyomi?" Shi nervously asked, as he remembered his fight against Sasuke. "Could it be that there's a genjutsu even more powerful than the one Sasuke casted on me? Something even more powerful than Tsukuyomi? Just the idea is..."
"You changed the subject! What does this jutsu have to do with your plan?" The Raikage shouted as he destroyed the remainings of the wooden table in the center of the room.
"Mugen Tsukuyomi is a combination of that jutsu I just spoke of awhile ago with the Mangekyo Sharingan's exclusive Tsukuyomi." Madara revealed, at the same time that he crossed his arms over his chest. "For those of you that don't know, Tsukuyomi is an illusion that enables the user to control time and space. In the world created by that illusion, the most terrifying things can be done for hours, days, even years if the one who casted it is strong enough."
"I don't like where this is headed..." Kankuro interrupted the founder of the Uchiha Clan. "...so if Tsukuyomi's user controls whatever happens inside that illusion...could you cast other jutsus inside that world you created?"
"Sharp analysis...Yes, that could happen but only in one's mind, since Tsukuyomi is still only an illusion. However, in that illusion, one can watch himself being the victim of the same painful jutsu for a large amount of time, until his mind eventually breaks. It would do wonders to have one Tsukuyomi user in every intel squad, but...that's not possible now is it?" Madara asked, as he finally stood once again. "You should give your brother a promotion, Gaara-kun. He already understood what my plan is."
"You did, Kankuro?" The incredulous Temari asked.
"He wants to cast that mind-controlling hypnosis inside the world of Tsukuyomi!" Kankuro revealed to the shock of everyone else. "That jutsu must have some kind of restriction like time or the fact it may be needed eye contact as slight as it may be, I don't know that! But by casting Tsukuyomi first, he can create the illusion that he's casting the hypnotic jutsu, when in fact he isn't, so the restritions don't apply. He will be able to control whichever person he wants to for as long as he can sustain Tsukuyomi."
"Moon's Eye Plan, huh? Then, what did you meant by taking us as hostages, Madara?" Onoki shouted as he had a slight idea of Madara's plans.
"Isn't it clear? I'll take control over the Five Kages, and therefore, I'll take control of every single shinobi of the Five Great Villages. With those numbers under my command, none of the smaller countries will be able to stand up to me, and once I take control of this continent, I'll spread my power towards the other side of the ocean, conquering every resistance that appears in the same way I'll conquer you simple-minded people. And then..." Everyone stared in both fear and shock to Madara as finished the explanation of his plan. "...when everyone is under my illusion, the world will become one! A world without ill will or strife! Everything will be one with me! Everything will be united... That's my Moon's Eye Plan!"
"You gotta be kidding! I won't just hand over the world to you!" Ë immediately shouted.
"Peace under an illusion is not true peace. It's only meaningful if the real world manages to accomplish it." Gaara countered.
"What does that hold for us? There's no hopes or dreams! It's just an escape!" Mei added.
"Make the world one...Danzo said something similar, but...In your case, it sounds more like you just want to make the world yours!" Onoki accused.
"Ahahah! And what have you Five Kages been able to accomplish? You must understand that there's no hope!" Madara shouted, causing silence to return to the conference room. "Hope is nothing more than resignation...that is what is not real! Just hand over the Hachibi and the Kyubi and cooperate with my plan!"
"The Eight-Tails? What do you mean? You already took Bee!" Ë shouted in disbelief.
"We failed to capture the Eight-Tails...He is the perfect host. I'd expect nothing less of your brother." Madara complimented.
"Oh, I knew it...I just had this feeling..." Darui commented as he saw the Raikage with his right arm hanged down, his eyes blank and his mouth opened. Feeling he was about to erupt, Shi sighed.
"That fool! We used this as an excuse to leave the village and gallivant about! I won't let him get away with this! IRON CLAW!" Ë furiously shouted.
"I don't get it! If this is your plan, then why have you been collecting the Tailed Beasts? Why do you still want them?" Temari asked.
"It's not like I have the chakra to sustain a genjutsu that will control so many people at the same time. Considering that the Tailed Beasts are creatures purely made of chakra, I'll..."
"I won't let you take Naruto Uzumaki!" Gaara furiously interrupted the leader of Akatsuki. To the surprise of the latter, sand pushed its way out of Gaara's gourd and swirled around its owner. "I don't care if you're Madara Uchiha or not! Even if you were the legendary Sage of the Six Paths! I won't let you take him!"
"Still able to control Shukaku's sand? That's a surprise...A new Bloodline was born, it seems." Madara commented, causing some of the people in the room to change his surprise from Madara to Gaara. "
Flashback
"What will happen to me, Elder Ebizou?" Gaara asked to the adviser. The last Jinchuriki of Shukaku was still wearing the black clothes to honor Granny Chiyo's death.
"While I'm still not sure, I would say you are now the bearer of a new Kekkei Genkai." Ebizou revealed his opinion, causing Gaara's eyes to open wide. "There has always been the theory that all Bloodline Limits are born from the interaction of humans with demons. Some say that happens when the soul of the demon sealed inside the human dissipates and lets its chakra and abilities to his last vessel. Others say that it happens when a Jinchuriki has a child."
"And in what do you believe?"
"I have to agree with both..." Ebizou said after he pondered for awhile. "I know living cases of shinobi that have Kekkei Genkais because they were born in the same clan as a former Jinchuriki. Take the example of the new Mizukage. Her Lava Style is a characteristic of the Four-Tailed Monkey and back in the day that Biju was sealed in a member of the Terumi clan."
"But that's not my case." Gaara remembered.
"Right. Your seems more like the first theory I presented you."
"But Shukaku's soul didn't dissipate. He was just taken out from me. He must still be alive."
"Yes but the demon is gone now." Gaara nodded as he was starting to understand Ebizou's point. "You're the first I remember to come out alive of a Biju's extraction, Gaara. And even though you've lost his chakra, his abilities are still of use to you."
"But it's so hard to do it now." Gaara frowned as he extended his hand and only a tiny amount of sand swirled around it.
"Because you don't have Shukaku's help anymore. You'll have to master your Bloodline Limit on your own now." Ebizou informed the Fifth Kazekage. "You should name it, too. It would be nice to have something to call it."
"Hmm...It's a unique kind of chakra manipulation isn't it?" Gaara thoughtfully stared to the swirling sand before looking back to Ebizou who nodded. "A unique style...I think I have the name for it."
End of Flashback
"Sand Style: Sand Shower Barrage" Gaara unleashed a wave of hundreds of small sand bullets that advanced swiftly towards Madara, but all of those high speed bullets passed right through him.
"I may not be as powerful as I once was, but I still have more than enough power to take you on, Fifth Kazekage."
"I won't give up hope, Madara." Gaara lifted his hands and more sand bullets appeared in front of him before they were shot against Madara who remained in the same place. Gaara then stretched both his arms forward, before pulling back his right one. The bullets that had passed through Madara and had been stuck on the wall came back for him, while the new ones' speed increased.
"You should just give up being...huh?" To Madara's surprise, even though the bullets passed through him without harming him, they were clashing against eachother and piling on top of one another, raising a column around Madara in the process. "He came up with this just after one glance at my intangibility?"
"Sand Style: Sand Burial" Gaara moved his hand and the sand column imploded, but to his surprise, as the sand fell, nothing was there.
"I won't give up either...not again!" Mei shouted and performed two hand seals, before spitting what seemed like a water needle. Madara had just warped behind Gaara and was about to punch him from behind when the needle passed through him but so did his right fist through Gaara. The former Jinchuriki turned but Madara had just warped away again.
"What about you, Raikage?" Onoki asked in a defiant tone.
"Like I would let him have my brother!" Ë roared before a lightning armor enveloped him once again.
"A needle of boiling water spat at incredible speed. One second later and I would have been caught by it." Madara thought as he returned to the wood pillar he was standing earlier, when he managed to rescue Sasuke. Out of nowhere though, Onoki appeared in front of him. "Damn you and your flight jutsu, Onoki!"
"No time to talk, Madara! Dust Style: Detachment of..." As Onoki was about to release his jutsu on Madara, his eyes opened wide and the jutsu stopped.
"Get out of the way, old man!" Ë shouted as he jumped to appear behind Onoki, who suddenly turned and unleashed the cube in his hands to the Raikage's gut, sending him crashing against the ground.
"No! Raikage-sama!" Darui shouted as the smoke raised by the impact didn't let him see his leader. As the smoke cleared, Ë has lying on the ground hurt but still conscious.
"Damn it! What's the meaning of this?" Ë asked as he slowly got on his right knee.
"It seems as the Third Tsuchikage had a change of heart." Madara chuckled while Onoki charged another cube of Dust chakra. "Old fool has become even faster than he once was!"
"He got him already!" Mei shouted as she realized the motive of Onoki's actions.
"This is dangerous!" Gaara turned to the crowd of shinobi behind him and came up with a solution. "You guys have to go after Danzo, now!"
"What? After Danzo? What is this all about Gaara?" Temari asked to her brother.
"That Ao is following them all alone! He'll need backup! Go!"
"But, Gaara..."
"I'm the Kazekage, damn it! You just obey to my orders!" Gaara quickly interrupted Kankuro.
"Gaara..." Temari had to bite her lower lip, so that she could turn her back on her younger brother. "Damn it, let's go Kankuro!"
"Huh? What..." Kankuro continued to protest while Temari pulled him by his wrist.
"You guys too." Ë said as he finally got to his feet.
"I see...You're the only ones with a chance to win, but if we stay and get under his control, things will be a lot harder." Mifune stated, before turning to his bodyguards. "Okisuke, Urakaku, let's go! You guys should come too! You'll only get in the way!"
"Is this alright with you, Raikage-sama?" Shi asked as he saw the three samurais leaving.
"Go!" Ë simply ordered.
"Be sure you win, Raikage-sama!" Darui shouted as he followed his partner, Shi.
"Sh-should I go...or per-perhaps stay...maybe..."
"Go too, Chojuro! I can't let you get hurt!" Mei shouted to her bodyguard, who suddenly lowered his head, as if he was struggling within himself.
"I'm the one who's supposed to protect you! Not the other way around! I'll, I'll stay Mizukage-sama, even if..." Chojuro's speech was cut short as Akatsuchi lifted him by his torso and held him under his right arm.
"Please, bring Tsuchikage-jiisama back, ok?" A saddened Akatsuchi asked to the remaining Kages and left after all of them nodded.
"This works even better! I'll just have to get them one at the time." Madara thought as he analyzed each of the remaining Kages one by one. "Onoki, go after the Raikage!"
"Tsk! After the one who has been through the most first!" Mei started to perform a set of hand seals, but before she could end it, Gaara's sand had already formed a wall in front of both him and the Raikage. "Good job, I wouldn't make it in time so..." Mei slightly changed the set of hand seals so she could attack instead of defend. "Lava Style: Lava Globs"
"That won't work on us." Madara stated as he warped, while Onoki took the full hit, before his body turned into dust.
"A dust clone! Be careful of that!" Ë advised. In fact, the dust that once composed Onoki's body started to swirl before advancing towards Mei. To her surprise, a swirl of sand appeared in front of her and formed Gaara's body.
"Sand Style: Sand Tsunami" Gaara raised a giant wave of sand that blocked Onoki's dust and advanced towards the Tsuchikage. Unfortunately, the oldest active Kage simply took flight to avoid the massive attack.
"Aaah! My turn!" Ë shouted as he jumped from the sand under Onoki, in an attempt to hit a lightning-infused rising uppercut. However, while in the air, Onoki was faster than Ë and dodged before performing a set of seals.
"Wind Style: Dust Cloud" Onoki spat a stream of wind towards the sand that filled the entire room's floor, causing the sand to be lifted in a cloud that blocked the vision of both Gaara and Mei.
"Bastard! I'm not done yet!" Ë shouted as he tried to hit an axe handle like blow, but Onoki once again dodged and Ë started to fall, until Gaara emerged from the sand cloud in a floating platform of sand that intercepted Ë's fall and advanced towards the airborne Onoki.
"Try it again!" Gaara shouted.
"Right!" Ë shouted as he jumped from the sand platform and drove his fist into Onoki's gut, sending him crashing against the nearest wall. Gaara's platform once again intercepted Ë's fall but it started to give away.
"Damn! I'm losing the control!" Gaara shouted before the platform dispersed into loose sand, causing both the Kazekage and the Raikage to fall into the floor.
"Tsk, do something will ya?" Ë shouted as they were almost crashing. Gaara moved his hand and part of the sand that was on the ground as a result of his last attack formed a cushion for both to land in.
"I never thought I would lose the control like that. The truth is that I still haven't regained all of Shukaku's powers." Gaara, who was sweating a lot, admitted. Then, a screech caused both Kages to reach their feet. The sand cloud had dispersed and they saw Madara holding Mei by her throat. "I couldn't take her out of there. Darn it!"
"It seems your numbers are decreasing." Madara stated as he released the grip on the Mizukage. Mei, who had a blank look on her face, just passed by Madara and stared towards Gaara and Ë, while Onoki landed by her side before doing the same.
"He created a cushion, like the one you did, with his dust." Ë stated as he stared back at the wall from where Onoki had just came. "We're at a disadvantage here..."
"I know..." The concerned Gaara agreed as he stared into his unlikely opponents.
"If I keep on like I have been, I'll never be able to find Sasuke..." Naruto thought, as he followed both Kakashi and Yamato. "I'll just have to get this over with, so that I can start in training to maintain Sage Mode for longer periods of time!"
"Something seems to be going on ahead." Kakashi stated before lifting his headband, revealing his Sharingan.
"Aren't those from Suna?" Yamato asked as he saw the village insignia of both shinobi and kunoichi.
"They're...Gaara's siblings!" Naruto shouted as he recognized the aprehensive Temari and Kankuro.
I won't beg for reviews, but they're always welcome of course. As for the ideas, I have nearly 50 chapters written so far and the rest of part II already planned, but I'll read every single one and I can always change the story a bit.
I know there were some parts of this chapter that were copied from the manga (Suigetsu and Jugo's mainly), but it's only in these first chapters. From then on, I'll only use some elements like techniques and new characters, with the story going a completely different way from the manga.
Next Chapter - Kage Level: Huge Tag Team Battle
-Nawirama13
-NawiramaWikia- just some extra info
1. Jutsu:
1.1 - Demonic Illusion: Hypnotic Wheel - A Sharingan-only genjutsu, casted by eye contact. It is available to every Uchiha with a fully matured Sharingan. It consists in taking control over an individual's actions through hypnosis. Shisui Uchiha was one of the few known as being able to control more than one person at the same time with this jutsu. Other users include Madara Uchiha and Danzo Shimura, the latter through Shisui's right eye. Kakashi Hatake has also used this jutsu in his first fight against Zabuza Momochi, ordering him to do certain jutsus for Kakashi to copy them.
1.2 - Boil Style: Corrosive Spit - Mei spits a needle of boiling water that moves at an incredible speed. It easily corrodes a target's flesh.
1.3 - Dust Style: Flight Supporting Particles - Onoki controls minuscule particles of dust that lift him into the air and transport him through the sky at high speeds.
1.4 - Dust Style: Dust Clone Jutsu - A clone that when attacked dissolves into dust. That dust can be used to attack and, if a short distance from an opponent, can enter his mouth and nose in order to suffocate him.
1.5 - Wind Style: Dust Cloud - Onoki uses the same jutsu as Shima, one of the sage toads. The difference is that Shima adds Natural Energy to the jutsu, making it a large scale version.
2. Characters:
2.1 - Gaara - Gaara's Kekkei Genkai is the Sand Style. There has always been the theory that Gaara's sand came from an advanced chakra nature, especifically the combination of Wind and Earth. I was always a supporter of that theory, so that's something I'll include in this fanfic.
