Rise of the Underworld
Chapter 1: the beginning
"Hello" Regular talking
"Taka (Hello)" Non Human talking
Many centuries ago, when the ten tailed beast rampaged all it wanted, something had to be done. The story of the Sage of Six Paths was legendary, but no one ever remember the teacher of such a amazing person. Its true for every master, they were once a student themselves. From the oriental itself, was a being that taught him, the Samurai Dragon. For a neiboring land, every 500 years a being is allowed to become a oriental dragon, the vanaguard of deities in heaven. The Samurai Dragon, or more commonly called Draco in the earliest known scrolls. For centuries he or the dragons have never faced off a threat or make an impact on the world, until the day of the nine tailed fox's attack on Konaha.
On that day, everything at first was going great of Minato, the 4th Hokage. The village was safe, for the first time in a long time had little paperwork, and in secret, his child was to be born. Night fell and all was silent in the village, but in a safehouse, the hokages baby was being born. Kushina however, held the terrifying Nine tailed fox inside her body, and during the birth, it broke free from its seal, and appeared near the village.
"I got to stop it." Minato said to himself, and ran out of the safehouse.
Shinobi scrambled to get to stop it, but the fox let out a roar that blew away many. However before Minato could meet the fox in battle, he meet something. On a building was a dragon the size of a elephant. It looked much like a european style dragon, 4 legs and wing, with spikes running down its back and tail. Backwards facing horns crowned its large, boxy head, and a mouth full of kunai sized teeth. Its color was hard to say, because it wore black samurai armor on its whole body, save for the wings, which were black, with yellow sage of six path markings on each wing.
"Good sir, may I have a word with you?" the dragon asked
"Did you just talk?" Minato asked
"Yes I did. Do you mind if I talk with you, it will only take a minute." it said, gliding gently down to the ground
"What is it that you want?" the hokage asked
"Allow me to introduce myself, your race never could pronouce my true name, so call me Draco." it said
"Draco, I need to stop the nine tailed fox." Minato said
"That is what my first apprentice said at first, then he wanted to fight the ten tailed beast." Draco wisely said
"Wait a minute, your thee Draco? The teacher of the Sage of Six paths?" Minato asked shocked
"The one in the same." Draco replied
"Why are you here? You are supposed to be dead?" Minato asked
"The great Oriental Dragon sent me here to warn you, if you fight the fox, it will one day be the end of your son, but before that he will become a great ninja. If you let the orient to handle the beast, you son will become a warrior far greater than anything the world has or will ever see again, one that will have the orient on his side, and forever live in great power, disipline, and content with happiness." Draco offered
"Do I have to pick one of them?" Minato asked
"No, you don't have to take either, but I'm just warning you of the consequences. Think about it as long as you need." Draco said, turning around, ready to fly away, but Minato stopped him by grabbing his tail.
"I don't want my son to die because of me. Please, get rid of the Nine tailed fox." Minato said
"There is much conflict in you, but you also want to do the right thing for your son. It was a difficult chose I know, but I will not fail you. When this battle is done, we will talk this over some tea, and discuss how to train you son. Now its time to show this fox a lesson it will never forget." Draco replied, and flew up to the top of the Hokage monument
He stood on his hind legs and let out a loud, yet low pitched roar to the heavens, and began resiting something in a language no one understood. During the chant, he kept his hands in the ninjustu dragon symbol. Thick, black thunder clouds appeared in the sky for far as the eye could see. Lightning and thunder rained to the point where the fox looked up to the sky in amazment. From the clouds flew out hundreds of Japanese dragons, of many different shapes and sizes. They landed on the walls of the village, buildings and in the street, but not on the Hokage monument.
"Manoka tai saka. (Brothers we are needed in this time of chaos.)" Draco said to the army
"Zama wa toy ka? (Why must we help them?)" One of the dragons asked
"Kiata mi tow wea takar y yakatursa. (Our master, the Oriental Dragon wishes it.) Draco replied
The mere mentioning of the dragons name was enough to throw them into a uproar. Minato jumped up to Draco to get a understanding of whats going on.
"What did you say to them?" Minato asked
"I said to them our master, the Oriental Dragon wishes for us to fight for you in this dark time." Draco replied
"Who is the Oriental Dragon?" Minato asked
"Takar y Yakatursa is what protects all of the heavens and earth from being destroyed by his brother, Kinsazy ka Vinkanzator, or the eternal darkness dragon. Every one hundred years, a ritual of each faction gives the lifeforce of a chosen being to make them stronger. If one of the rituals is stopped, then the other side is garenteed victory." Draco replied
"Is my son that sacrafice?" Minato asked in horror
"That is something in the boys future even I can't see. Only time will tell what his connection to the ritual will be." Draco said, and flew off to command his brethern
The massive hoard of Dragons circled the fox, outnumbered 10,000 to one. It swum its claws and tails at them, but the dragons nimbly looped, twisted, and darted out of the way of its blows. They then all roared a low pitched roar, to signal the arrival of the Oriental Dragon. It soared out of the clouds, and landed in front of the Fox. It was simply astronomical in size, the thick spiked mounts on his back are the size of moutains, and looked like them. Its thick scales were of all colors and variety's of those colores. It had had hair on its head like a japanese dragon, and its body looked like one.
"Great fox, stop this senseless violence to the humans." it boomed
"What makes you think you can stop me! I am there vision of disaster, and I will not give that up!" the fox roared back
"Very well, you leave me no choice." The dragon replied
He opened his mouth, and all the fox could see down his throat was a white light, so bright he could see it with his eyes closed. Chakra leaked from the foxes body, and was being drained by the massive dragon. Slowly, his power and size was greatly reduced, and at the end, he was only the size of a regualur fox kit. In sheer terror, the fox ran away as fast as his small legs could carry him.
"Where is Minato Namikaze?" It asked Draco
"Right here Sensei." Draco replied respectfully
Minato walked up to the massive creature, and the dragon opened its hand to let him get up. He jumped up, but was exhausted from it because of its massive size. It lifted him up to his head.
"You have chosen wisely, and I will keep my word over what will happen to your son." The dragon said
"Thank you, you saved the entire village, you will be remembered." Minato replied
"Your praise is touching, but I must go. The longer I stay away from my duties, the more danger we are in." The dragon said, and put Minato back on the ground, then flew away with the thousands of dragons following him, and the only one of them left was Draco
"Shall we go talk over tea?" Draco asked
"After you." Minato replied, and they left for a tea house
Tea house, 10 minutes later
"I'm sorta surprised on how much praise your getting." Minato said
"Indeed." Draco replied, and flung several kids off his tail, then took a sip of tea
"So how are we going to train him?" Minato asked
"Simple, point him there, and he'll figure it out himself." Draco replied
"Thats the worst idea ever." Minato said
"He'll become a smart lad. It'll work fine." Draco reasuringly said
"I don't know. What will you teach him?" Minato asked
"Weapons, armor, fighting styles, and knowledge of all kinds." Draco said
"How long will this take?" Minato asked
"Twelve years." Draco replied
"Sir, may I have a word with you?" A medical nin asked
"Yes, be right back." Minato said as he went a distance away
"Sir, its your wife, she died while giving birth." He said
"What? How could that happen?" Minato said with complete suprise and disbelif
"The release of the fox and the birthing at the same time did it sir. I'm sorry, but it was too quick for us to do anything." He replied, and left
"Minato, its alright, the boy will manage, and so will you." Draco called, and took another sip of tea
"I feel sorry for him, he will never know his mother." Minato cried
"I'll be back in the morning to pick him up. Good night." Draco said and left
Minato dropped on the table crying. He was happy that his son lived, but it was a mixed blessing. He now knew he never would see his wife again. Would it have been better not to have taken the offer?
MHG: What will be in store for the future, monsters? Rivalries? Romance? I'm not telling you yet. Next time, Naruto returns, and this will not be a smart Naruto story, I swear.
