I want to become Hokage, I want to become someone everyone can depend on. Pffff...Bullshit, I don't wanna be the Hokage. I don't want to be the leader of a village that was established by another shinobi. I want to be the leader, I want to be the kage of my own village. For years I've lived and fought in the shadows, killed people for the sake of protecting my village. Fought to protect a kage of a village that I didn't know nor respected.

I wish to create my own hidden village, to become the kage of my own personal guard of ninja. To protect my own people and land, I don't want to do something as bogus as take over the village like Orochimaru one of the three great sannin before me.

My name is Takeda Raizou, a member of Konohagakure's Jounin level shinobi. And tonight, I break my bonds with Konoha and leave to create my own village.

The storm clouds that had been raining down on Konoha for several days were finally receding with abit of drizzles here and there. At night these same rain clouds gave off a purplish hue. I stood in my small apartment provided by the village, laid out over my bed set was my black headband with the Leaf Symbol carved into the plaque.

I stood staring down at it for several seconds, like a dark spire I stood there the headband held honor. It held my memories of my Teammates, Aya and Baian. All of the missions we had done together and when we all climbed the ladder together, me becoming a jounin, Aya joining the ANBU black ops and Baian becoming a top class medical ninja.

I ran a hand through my natural orange colored hair and placed my black hat on, the hat above the bill on it's face held a new metal plate with my new villlage symbol over it. The kanji word for 'Darkness-Yami'. That was going to be the name of my village, Yamigakure. And I will be the Yamikage.

I wore a newly customized black flak jacket with the Yami seal on the back and a new short sleeved jumpsuit underneath with nothing but my katana strapped to my back. I made my way over to the window sill and pushed my windows open with one hand, using my face mask I pulled it up over my mouth and nose then leaped out into the open air. "Good bye, Konoha." I said silently landing with speed onto one of the tall electric spires then off into the distance racing off of rooftops and tall poles.

As fast as I could I cleared the great wall surrounding the village and landed down on an old path outside of the village that was closed off for years. This path was an old foggy one that I heard from intelligence, two Akatsuki members snuck through. Using this path I started a slow walk through the shadows, this was a fitting goodbye.

The feeling of me leaving the village filled with me fear, excitement, anticipation...I didn't know what to feel. As soon as I decide on a location, I'll begin my hunt for ninjas whom will follow me. Surround myself with Shinobi I can trust. As these thoughts rushed into my mind, I didn't dare forget my position, the situation I was in or my ninjitsu training.

I could sense someone's shadow coming, I narrowed my eyes and stood completely still. This person caught up to me before in the time it took for me to even sense them.

I spoke into the shadows. "What do you want?" I asked not knowing if it was just a rogue ninja or shinobi from Konoha whom had come for me. ANBU black ops automatically begin hunting missing ninjas and executing them. For the sensitive information that they know, other countries could use the info against us. So it comes to no surprise if it's an ANBU member.

"Is this what you really want, Raizou."

I immediately recognized the voice. "Come on our, Aya." I replied.

Hopping out of the darkness of a tree and onto the path just behind me was a woman with long dark brown hair that touched the back of her knees. She wore an ANBU ninja suit with a skirt instead of pants and the gray thin flak jacket with her white ANBU mask strapped to the side of her face.

"Raizou...stop this foolishness at once."

I didn't turn around to see her. "So what I'm doing is called foolishness now? I wish no harm to come to Konoha, I only wish to create my own village. You know this..." I said and she did. I was saying the same thing of creating my own village for years even when I was a child. I was laughed at more than that nine tails child, Naruto, when I was young. I never got it, why was that so wrong? Why was I ridiculed because of that?

It made me angry.

"Raizou, you ambition is great. And no one wishes to hold you back from it, but you are a ninja from Konoha. Leaving like this is on the same levels of treason. Leaving this village to start another without permission from the Hokage Tsunade-sama. It's like you're sending a challenge straight to her doorstep. Do you not understand?" Aya tried to reason with me.

I sighed. "I said this before...no harm will come to Konoha, atleast not from me." I took a step towards the path and before I could land that first step a kunai landed down at my feet and flying over head was another shinobi. He wore an all white medical ninja robe with long green hair that flanked the left side of his face, he was a pretty boy. Baian.

He landed down infront of me and looked back. "Heh...Aya-chan, looks as though you were right about him."

"Baian." I said with a straight face.

"Nice to see you again, Raizou-kun. You never come by to see me anymore, I was beginning to feel left out." He said with a smile. "So you're finally leaving to go on your adventure to become Kage of your own village?"

I didn't say anything, I simply thought of my route out of here. Remembering back to the academy days and even now, I was the strongest in Ninjutsu. Aya was better than both me and Baian at Taijutsu and Baian and I were both equal in both Taijutsu.

"Why are you guys trying this hard?" I said with a sigh. I felt their aggression, they were going to try and take me back by force if I didn't comply with them. "Especially you Aya, isn't Baian the one that you care about so much. Go and be with him. Just forget about me."

Aya was silent, Baian was silent as well. The only thing I could hear was the wind and leaves stirring in the midnight air. It was true though, Aya had always loved Baian since our Academy days. I'll admit I had abit of a crush on Aya and she shot me down after our Chuunin Exams, so I was limited to just being her friend. The only she truly loved was Baian.

"Raizou-kun, this isn't all over a girl is it. I thought our bonds were stronger than that." Baian said with a semi-serious face.

I shrugged. "It's not over a girl, this is about my ambition. I won't allow anyone to stand in my way, not you, not Aya or even the Hokage. If you don't get the hell out of my way right now then I'll move you myself." I grabbed the hilt of my katana and slowly drew it from the sheath on my back.

Aya appeared behind me in a flash and grabbed my shoulder and right arm twisting my wrist. "Bushin Daibakuha(Clone Explosion)" I said and suddenly my body erupted with an explosion of water. The water sent Aya flying away and she went flipping backwards in mid air but she couldn't catch herself, she hit the ground and started skidding and flipping away. With my clone destroyed it was time to finally reveal myself, I exploded from the earth beneath where my clone exploded and appeared just infront of Baian.

"Raizou!" He said drawing two kunai from behind and attempting to create a seal but I kicked him in his chest sending him sliding back. My kick contained chakra which doubled it's attack power. But Baian was resilient. He slid backwards but he didn't fall, he completed his seal.

"Nunoshibari no Jutsu(Cloth Binding Technique)!" Baian's wrist bandages like living serpents shot from his wrists to try and bind me. But I quickly covered my katana in lightning elemental chakra.

"Raisoku Shunken! (Lightning Speed Blade)" I hacked at the air and sliced the bandages to cloth pieces but before I could relax from my attack, Aya appeared with a film of blood running from the side of her head. She swung up hitting me in the side of the head. WHAM! This time she hit the real me, I went flying off, my brain doing flips in my skull. I slammed through four trees before coming to a complete stop.

My hat had fallen off of my head and I was laying stomach up in a small crater. I stood up grabbing my hat and fixing it back on my head. Aya landed like a titan down beside me, I felt the earth under me move and Baian appeared landing down on a high branch looking down at me.

"You can't defeat us both, Raizou. Let's go back, this doesn't have to get messier." Aya said getting into a low Taijutsu fighting set. Aya and her Taijutsu, she always preferred Taijutsu over both Gen and Ninjutsu. You'd think the Green Beast Maito Gai would have trained her himself.

I slowly recovered from her kick to my face then turned to face the both of them. "I can't go back...I can't go back to that existence. I can't go back to being a pawn of Tsunade and Danzo like you fools." I completed a water seal at high speed. This was my speciality, lightning and water ninjutsu. "Suiton: Hahonryu!(Water Release: Tearing Torrent)"

The surrounding mist around us formed into a spiraling water bullet in my left palm. With that I thrust my palm forward blasting a water beam bullet from my palm towards Aya whom spun around with a powerful Chakra empowered roundhouse kick striking the blast. Baian flew down at me with another attempt at capturing me.

I spun around grabbed Baian with my left hand then slammed him into the ground creating a kunai made of pure lightning chakra then stabbed it into Baian's lower torso. The lightning chakra blade remained stuck in his chest and he was paralyzed stuck to the ground. "Raizou...stop this please!" Baian struggled to try and release the lightning kunai but he couldn't.

With Baian now down and paralyzed, all that was left was Aya. She phased infront of me and attempted a right to left punch but I ducked and dodged both of them then jumped backwards, but she followed closely behind. I tried lopping her head off but she ducked it quick and retaliated with an elbow to the side of my face.

I went spinning away from her and hitting the ground, with that I shuffled to my feet again and she was there flying down at me. With one hand I performed enough seals for my next jutsu. "Raiton: Rai Ken Eiso! (Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Sharp Spear)" With high speed a beam of blue shot from the tip of my sword making it long into a long bladed chakra spear that stabbed through Aya's left shoulder keeping her suspended in mid air.

"Gaahhhhhhhhhhh!" She screamed trying to grab the lightning but couldn't it shocked her hands away.

Baian screamed. "AYA! RAIZOU STOP!"

"I am not the same Raizou that you once knew, I trained hard...worked my hands raw to get as strong as I am today. To become the Yamikage, I've come this far. And I'm not turning back." I narrowed my eyes, I felt nothing for Aya anymore. Seeing her in agony did nothing for me.

"Raizou! But we...you were like a brother to me! WHY ALL THIS FOR YOUR SELFISH GOAL OF BECOMING A KAGE!" Baian screamed.

I released my jutsu and Aya dropped like a ragdoll, she covered the hole in her shoulder and attempted to stand up but my lightning chakra ran through her veins paralyzing her. "Goodbye my friends...the memories were nice. But that's all they are and that's all you are...memories. And I leave my memories in the past." I said walking past the two of them. "The next time you both see me, I'll be standing amongst the Five Kages as the sixth Kage of Darkness."

With that I heard the alarm sound, the battle must have set off some sensor types. With that I darted off using chakra to boost my speed through the forests outside of Konohakagure. The ninjas following me were all ANBU black ops and they were coming in waves. They were like black blurs flying after me, with blades sharpened to lop my head off.

They were gaining on me like I was standing still. All the while running I was performing handseals, once I was done I landed down on a long branch and turned towards the crowds of ANBU Ninja. "Suiton: Suikoden no Jutsu(Water Release: Shark Bullet Technique)" I exploded releasing hundreds of water based sharks they flew for one ANBU ninja per.

While distracted with that I dashed off as fast as I could, I just created hundreds of shark bullet jutsu attacks. My chakra was almost completely depleted and even more ANBU ninja were coming. After I got a fair distance away I dove into a river that I spotted using and using my chakra to increase my lung capacity for air.

I hid under the water completely still.

I saw them fly over the river like black blurs and I remained in the water.

24 Hours later...

I sat at the bottom of the river, having become one with the river fish and even alligators swam past me as if I were one of them. I sat with my legs crossed in meditation under the water for 24 hours now, I couldn't sense any shinobi beyond the river. The coast was clear, I could tell the search wasn't over but they weren't outside of the river for afew miles. This I could sense.

I swam up to the surface of the river, raising my head only up to my nose so I could breath through my nose abit of air. I hopped out of the water then landed on the coast breathing heavily. "Have to keep moving." I said standing to my feet. The fatigue and bruises from the battle against Baian and Aya began to have their toll as my adrenaline levels dropped.

I walked through the trees keeping an eye out for any ninja, but just inches out of the forest and into a valley of tall grass I heard a new voice.

"What kind of ninja plate is that? I've never seen that before."

My eyes widened and I looked up to see stuck to a tree by chakra was a girl with pink hair, she had two pigtails and strange white cat like ears. She wore a white kimono with a crimson red sash. Wrapped around the sash was a headband with the plate seal for Kusagakure, the Village hidden in the Grass.

I narrowed my eyes.

Who could this be? A ninja from another country of course, but what is she doing on the edge of this forest?
