The Hollow Second Life of Madara Uchiha
Chapter 1: The Failed savior
He just hovered there, suspended in the air as if the laws of physics were merely a suggestion to him… After all had he not proven it so? So many times he'd done the impossible, achieving feats that no human should be capable of achieving. He'd succeeded where others could never even dream to go; confirming that only he could dare venture past the limits that the world deemed utterly impossible. So it seemed fitting that he was standing there high in sky like a god amongst men, staring at the moon with a sense of victory as it reflects his infinite dream, his resolve. Infinite tsukuyomi the eternal genjutsu had left him drained and exhausted yet it couldn't stop the smile from creeping across his face. Madara closed his eyes for a mere moment allowing the bliss of it all to settle in. Against odds that no one man could ever hope to overcome yet he had stopped being a mere man long. His dream had finally been realized his infinite dream he done it... And now this hell of an existence finally comes to an end. He muses to himself.
Turning back to look at his handy work he saw that the genjutsu was doing its work nicely, the moonlight illuminated the world and trapped them in their own perfect dream world. As he watched the wooden roots of the god tree tether to every one of them looking down at it all he had felt even slight pity, they had all fought so valiantly they deserved his respect but in the end his power was absolute. Scanning the landscape below he saw black zetsu confronting those four ninja Sasuke and Naruto the other two he had not cared to learn their names… those two how did they survive the infinite tsukuyomi no doubt it had something to do with the power they both gained so suddenly, he thought to himself as he rocketed through the sky. As he got closer he could here Sasuke planning to undo the genjutsu with his rinnegan and black zetsu threatening to stop him. He thought to himself… No this is my dream, I brought this heaven into fruition releasing everyone from the hell of this world and delivering happiness even if they did struggle at first its basic human nature to fear change that they don't comprehend I will protect this new world.
Crushing the ground beneath him as he lands "I'm the savior of this world I'll do it." he says in tone that leaves no room for debate, he wills his other selves in the limbo realm to surround the four shinobi "I won't let you do anything else" he tells them he hears their voices but doesn't even note what their saying the words of men were never meant to fall upon the ears of a god. "I've just changed the fate of this world. I've stopped all their suffering, freed them from all their pain and emptiness." He coolly says to them locking eyes with them his cold rinnegan piercing through them he can see their hesitation determined to stop him with everything they've got. "This is just a huge lie!" yells out Naruto…they believe they can win they may have posed a threat when I only had my right eye, but only when both eyes work together can their true power be realized" Naruto.. You're getting in the way of every ones happiness; I can't allow thatour game ends here. You should understand I turned hell into heaven." he says as he narrows his eyes at Naruto thinking I'll start with you first.He smiles seeing the boy flinch under his gaze.
He had just begun think of how to quickly dispose of them he had just started to concentrate the chakara when it happened. Heard it before he felt it... the crunching of his rib cage giving way, the grimy pop as he saw the black hand extending through his chest where his heart is located. Then before the pain even settles in he could feel the foreign chakara flood his chakara path ways paralyzing him.I can't movehe thinks to himself "No Madara you are not the savior and it's not over" black zetsu whispers behind him he could hear the malice and satisfaction in the symboite's voice as he said it like he'd waited ages to punch through his heart confused Madara asks " what are you even saying... you are my will." hearing the clear surprise in his voice black zetsu's smile widens even further " Not true... my will is...Kaguya!" those are the last words Madara hears before feeling his entire body light up in pain nerve by feeling nerve he lets out a grotesque yell of agony. He feels all his strength leave all his power the Juubi the god tree all at once he feels all of it leaving his body, his consciousness fading in and out the darkness swallowing him he thinks to himself... who the hell is Kaguya?
He feels weightless as he falls to the ground he sees his life flash through his mind. Izuna the precious little brother he could never protect, the Uchiha clan the people that turn their backs on him when he couldn't ensure their safety any longer, Hashirama the brother that put a sword through his chest someone he was never able to defeat on equal terms, Obito the defiant pawn that turned his blade on him in his final moments. Ten steps ahead of everyone else yet still he lost in the end now his new world flashes in his mind thinking of the peace he had finally achieved he thinks his last thoughts In the end I couldn't protect any of them in the end I was the biggest pawn of them all ...Madara Uchiha the tale of the savior that couldn't save anything how pathetic I turned out to be.
