The dark legacy.
Chapter 1
The Butterfly Effect. In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependency on initial conditions in which a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. Such complicated terms to describe such a simple effect.
To put it in layman's terms, a simple change, no matter where it is, how big it is or how long it lasted, can bring devastating consequences to another place. For example, a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier.
Big things have small beginnings. Like the forging of one ring, finding a black notebook on the ground, the consumption of a single fruit from a tree…or the end of a life.
What is the value of one life?
A simple question to which there is no right or wrong answer. Some would take that question and approach it from a monetary point of view, some from a cultural point of view but most would take it from a spiritual point of view. But why would spiritual dominate over other choices?
Because the gift of life is something we do not understand. We do not know how it begins nor what happens after it's over, but we do know that all life is precious and to be protected at all costs. But the question remains…how much is one life worth? Are some lives worth more than others? If so, then why would these lives be worth more if they are all the same?
When would we be willing to trade one life in exchange for another? Or many others? The end of a life…how much the end of a life could affect our world? If you asked, anyone with half a brain would reply that it was worthless. A single life, the destruction of a single drop of water in a vast ocean would be meaningless and be discarded as worthless.
But this is where you are all wrong. Not all lives are worth the same and some are more valuable than others. Some, while they may not seem like it, are worth thousands if not millions of others. These lives should be cherished and protected at all costs for no one knows what their end could bring into our world.
And here is where the butterfly effect comes into play. This particular life belongs to a gentle, serene and very kind soul. A strong forgiving heart that housed a soul of steel. A person willing to trade her life for the person she cherished above everything. And it's with this particular life that everything began.
While she would have been tagged as someone weak and worthless, she was far from it. She was the key to saving this world, a key that locked the beast away…a key that had been broken before the cage was closed.
Maya, no last name was an orphan of the kyubi attack five years ago, she had no shinobi lineage as far as five generations ago and her reserves were so small that not even the career of a genjutsu specialist was possible for her.
Then perhaps she had so political power, but no her parents even if they were alive were nothing but simple farmers that were in Konoha in order to sell their fruit and vegetables.
So what made this child so important, What made her so important was her friends, indeed her friends were no one but Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Satsuki.
Uzumaki Naruto, jinchuriki of the Kyubi no kitsune, social pariah and heir of the Uzumaki and Namikaze clans, after the kyubi attack the yondaime hokage sealed the bijuu in his son and asked that he would be treated as a hero. The child was a very smart and even prodigious mind.
Uchiha Satsuki, proud member of the Uchiha clan, having at the age of five years awakened the sharingan in its base but kept from her family because she did not want to be pressured like her cousin Itachi was before her.
Even with their pedigree the two children were not dangerous as they were so how could such children be the key to saving the world or treathening it? Simple they were transmigrants, but to understand what transmigrants are we must understand transmigration.
Transmigration (他生, Tashō) refers to the process where the chakra of a deceased human remains after said human's death before attaching itself to a new host. The host of this transmigrated chakra is referred to as a "transmigrant" (転生, tenshō). But they were just any transmigrants they were the transmigrants of Indra and Asura Otsutsuki.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki was known for many things, but the most important was being called the Rikudou Sennin, with his dojutsu the Rinnegan he managed to defeat the juubi and seal within his body, bcoming the world's first jinchuriki. Upon his death he realised that the juubi would be released so he used his power and seperated the juubi in Nine creatures known as the bijuu. But his proudest achievement was the birth of his children Asura, Indra and the youngest of the three, named after his brother Hamura.
Now the transmigration process has been done many times througout the years since their deaths but the latest of the bunch were none other than Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju. Now seeing this we find ourselves before a dilema. After seeing the death their friend, what will the two heirs of the Rikudou choose.
Scene Change.
'It had been three months since her death' thought Naruto while remembering how she died, raped and killed by the Uchiha clan head Fugaku Uchiha, he rembered every moment of the incident because he was tied to a cross, that was before they shoved a stake in his heart and set him on fire. Now all that was no what pissed him off, NOOOOOOOO, what pissed him off was that Sarutobi Hiruzen, tried to make everything disappear, like it never happened, he tried to make him forget all about his best friend, one of only two friends he ever had with the help of a Yamanaka. But the Uchiha had nothing done to them, they got away with murder, MURDER can you believe it. but not all was bad he managed to meet his tenant from the experience and with its help he managed to keep his memories, now here he is, sitting in a clearing, their claring, where he Maya and Satsuki would often meet and chat or just hang out. He did not have to wait long for his other friend, Uchiha Satsuki to show up. Satsuki was quite tall for her age, she also wore the standard uchiha clan clothing with an Uchiha clan crest on the back. She sat by Naruto's side watching the river by her friend and started the conversation
"I am really sorry for what happened"
"don't be, there was nothing you could do to avoid it, anyway it was my fault"
"It still does not make fell less painful... Wait, what?! What do you mean it's your fault."
"I mean it's my fault, if I didn't meet both you and Maya, then none of this would have happened." he was about to continue hie rant when he was violently slapped by the Uchiha.
"don't you ever say that to me again, you and Maya were my only friends, the only people that saw as me not as an Uchiha, meeting both of you was they greatest thing that ever happened to me."
"but... but..." said Naruto as he started to tear up, he refused to cry before Satsuki
"no buts Naruto and there is something I want you to always know, If you want to cry, then simply cry." and as if a damn had broken, naruto broke down in tears and hugged Satsuki. As they wer hugging, Naruto didn't see the scheming look on Satsuki's face.
'that's right, it's all going according to plan, soon Naruto kun you will be mine alone."
Scene Change:
Satsuki returned to her home in the Uchiha compound at the outskirts of konoha, a way that Tobirama senju used in order to keep the Uchiha in line, she said hello to both her parents, one Uchiha jounin of a father and a civilian Uchiha clan member. She went to her room and closed the door behind her, She stood before the miror and activated the Sharingan, at first it was only three tomoe in it, an impressive feat since she was the youngest since madara Uchiha to do so at her age, but what happened next was even more impressive and even more sinister, her eyes started shifting from the three tomoe into something else, the mangekyo sharingan, Unlike most known Mangekyō form, the colour of her dōjutsu is inverted. It is split down the middle in three and has an appearance similar to a three-petal flower. These eyes were the simbol of her sins; the simbol of her betrayal, these eyes simbolised the death of her friend Maya, for you see the only way they knew about the orphan's friendship with the blond jinchuriki was through her. Now why would she do that, was it for status within the clan? Did she resent naruto for his burden? Did she even know about his burden? No my friends it was for none of these reasons, for you see, even though satsuki knew about her friend's burden, she did not hate or resent him for, she also did not even care about the clan enough to start seeking status within it. No why she had done that was for the purst of the reasons, and also the only reason even a saint would become a monster, love she did it for love. she was with naruto first, she was the one that tought him how to smile, he also was the only person who knew her, cared for her and most importantly she was his whole world. But then taht little bitch came into the picture and she started taking his attention, at first satsuki did not pay Maya any heed, she thought that the girl was just some third wheel in their life but then naruto started to change, when he first only seeked her oppinion in things, now he started seeking the oppinion of the orphan. Of course her oppinion mattered the most to Naruto, but now an orphand dared to think of taking someone that belonged to her, unforgivable. So she let it slip that Maya and Naruto were friends, anonimously of course, she even let the Uchiha clan know about their meeting place. Of course she din't go until she was sure that the Uchiha are no longer going there to check it out but also were ready to kill the bitch. Now she was the only owner of naruto's hearth and she could help him grieve.
"You know you should really stop contemplating those eyes of yours, they are no that beautiful young lady." said a voice behind her, sighing she deactivated her sharingan and looked behind her. What stood in behind her is an eight feet tall semi-humanoid creature with a slim yet powerful build. He has white hair that reached past his shoulders along with some strands of hair that lean forward on its forehead and his eyes are yellow with black slits in the middle. A noticeable fact about him is the fact that instead of a mouth he has the beak of a bird. Behind him were two black wings that could span out to sixteen feet in length once fully deployed. Overall, the semi-humanoid figure was also wearing a yellow kimono that covered his feet. Yes it was a Tengu, but not any Tengu, this was their leader.
"sojobo, will you ever tell me how you keep sneaking up on me, I am a sensor you know." she asked the Tengu leader who merely chuckled before answering
"hoho, don't worry i will teach you how to do It in time, you are after all our summoner." the tengu then turned serious and asked
"have you given any thought to my proposition?" the young girl turned around and said
"why do we have to leave and for how long?" the teng took a seat and said
"for two weeks tops, as for the why, well what do you know about the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan?" the Uchiha instatly answered
"just what you told me, that the price for awakening it is killing your best friend and that unless i get the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, i will suffer from blindness the more I use."
"you are partially correct, The Mangekyo Sharingan comes from killing your best friend. But let me ask you this? Did you really have to kill your loved ones yourself to feel these emotions, and subsequently, to activate an ultimate sharingan. What if you made a mistake during a mission and it resulted in the death of a loved one, would you not feel all these emotions, sadness, sorrow, grief, and most importantly, guilt?" he asked confusing the Uchiha, seeing his audience confused he decided to clarify
"What I mean Is, that you do not need to kill your loved ones yourself to awaken a Mangekyo, simply seeing them die in front of you is more than enough. My point is that during the clan wars, many Uchiha awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but none of them before Madara had the eternal. Madara and Izuna had the Mangekyo Sharingan for nearly a decade before Izuna died and gave his eyes to Madara. And let me tell you this, the way they used it against the Senju they would have been blind after three years only." finished Sojobo gaining Satsuji's attention
"So that means they had a way to undo the damage of the Mangekyo on their eyes, correct?"
"Bingo my little flower, you see another Uchiha, this one named Seina, the only Shinobi would could say that they were Hashirama Senju's equal in Medical ninjutsu, created a surgery, that allowed a Mangekyo user to use his Mangekyo without worrying about the side effects. the operation and the time it would take for the operation and the recovery is two weeks." he said and waited for Satsuki's answer
"First, what is this operation? Secondly, how am I supposed to leave my house without allerting anyone?" she asked
"The opperation is pretty simple: the doctor in question will inlarge the chakra coils around the eyes for about forty eight hours, then you will be put in a recovery unit for another five days, after which you will be put in a dark room for a week at the end of which a seal will be put on you that will seal your Sharingan for away for a year, and before you ask that is necessay so that the coils can ajust and that we do not have to redo all our hard work at enlarging the coils again. As for how you will leave the house for two weeks without allerting anyone, that is even more easy." a small Tengu appeared by his side and in a puff of smoke he turned into a copy of Satstuki "The tengu are known for their illusions dear Satsuki, not even the Sharingan can tell our illusions appart from the reality, your parents won't even know you were gone, so shall we go?" Satsuki, her curiosity sated nodded and both the Tengu chief and the Uchiha left in a puff of smoke leaving behind the doppelganger.
Scene Change:
After he went back home, Naruto sat down in his shitty bed and started meditating, he nearly reached a sweet spot that many yoga practitioners call the inner peace before a voice interrupted him
"Naruto, do not trust that Uchiha woman, remember what I told you, trusting an Uchiha is bad enough, trusting an uchiha woman is even worst. That is just asking to be stabbed in the back." the voice belonged to the kyubi no yoko, or as he liked to be called Kurama.
'don't worry partner, Satsuki is not like Madara or the other Uchiha, she is different, she is...'
"Different my ass, she is just like all her brethren, evil manipulative sons of bitch to the last one of them." and he started ranting all about all the Uchiha were blights to the world and that they should all be killed and what not. Naruto was reminescing on how they met in the first place.
FLASHBACK START:
Naruto opened his eyes. He didn't see the body of his best friend that was raped murdered, nor did he see her killers. No, he saw that he was in a sewer of some sort. He was currently lying down on a very wet floor. The walls were dirty with pipes all going to who knows where. It must have been a trick of the light but the pipes were glowing blue and red.
Despite popular belief, Naruto wasn't stupid. He was intelligent but he hid it since he didn't know how the villagers would take it if the most hated child in the Village Hidden in the Leaf had a brain between his ears. No, he hid it and kept on smiling like an idiot. Despite the beatings he got and the obvious hatred leveled at him, he held a child-like innocence hoping against hope that everything would turn out alright.
This current attack, however, was enough for him. No longer could he hold on to his innocence. This attack was more brutal than the rest and he couldn't deny the fact that the villagers this time was extra vindictive considering the type of weapons they were carrying and using at him.
Fortunately, or unfortunately in this case, one of the villagers who was beating the hell out of him with a rusty knife was able to voice out the reason of why he was being treated that way as each blow was dealt. It must have been the rage and anger that the villager was feeling that eventually gave way to the revelation.
He was the Kyuubi.
The demon.
The nine-tailed fox.
His intelligence, however, denied this as blows upon blows were rained down on him. He couldn't be the Kyuubi since he was his own person.
He was Uzumaki Naruto.
The village pariah.
He wasn't the Kyuubi and deep down, he knew this to be true.
He looked around and observed the place he was in. He knew that he wasn't in the sewers of Konoha. He knew the sewers like the back of his hand since the underground catacombs of the village was his safe haven and escape route when the mobs would start chasing him. He would look for the nearest manhole and jump in, making his way along the maze-like cavern until he reached the manhole that was near the Hokage Tower where he would immediately go to his surrogate grandfather, the Sandaime Hokage, for safety or his apartment where he would hide without a peep until the crowd grew tired of looking for him.
No, this wasn't the Konoha sewers that he grew to love. This was something else.
Not knowing anything else to do, he pushed himself off the wet floor and started walking. He didn't know where to go but he decided to just follow the pipes since they would eventually lead to somewhere. While he walked, he checked his body and was surprised to discover that the wounds and bruises that were supposed to be there were none to be found. He couldn't even feel any pain. He knew that he healed fast, but he knew that the healing wasn't that fast to get rid of the aftermath of the attack, especially one of this caliber. This was further made true when he discovered his clothes were still intact. His white t-shirt with the red whirlpool symbol in the middle was still in one piece and as clean as ever. His blue shorts were still there, protecting his modesty if he ever had one to begin with considering his status in the village. Modesty was for the privileged, after all.
He shrugged it off as one of life's many mysteries as he continued to follow the cavern to who knows where.
He didn't know how long he walked but he eventually reached the end of the metaphorical maze he was traversing. Naruto found himself in a large, spacious room. At the opposite side of the entrance was a very large cage with bars as thick as his malnourished body. In the middle of the cage where a lock was supposed to be had a square paper with the kanji of 'Seal' written in black ink.
Naruto's mind was whirling as to what the cage could be holding considering how fortified it was. In fact, the question of where he was currently at was pulled up again. But before he could do anything else, a powerful voice emanated from the darkness behind the bars.
"My container finally graced me with his presence." The voice growled from somewhere in the darkness and reverberated across the room, amplifying its intensity. "I was thinking that it would take a few years more before you would discover my presence but it seemed that the idiotic villagers have put you on the brink of life and death, forcing your consciousness to retreat deep within your mind."
Naruto didn't say anything but instead peered into the darkness to try to determine who owned the voice that spoke to him. It didn't take long for him to see a pair of gigantic eyes looking at him - a pair of red eyes that spoke of power and cunning that could never belong to a human.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked calmly. He was scared, sure, but he was tired of showing his fear. The current attack from the villagers hardened him to the point that his emotions were starting to become an echo, a memory that was better ignored or forgotten.
"Oh? Not scared are you?" said the voice, though this time; there was an amused quality to it as if it found his lack of fear laughable.
"I am scared but I'm tired of wearing my emotions on my sleeves." replied Naruto as he approached the cage though he stopped a few scant meters away from it before peering into the cage while willing the darkness to disappear so he could see who he was talking to.
"It seemed that the current idiocy of the villagers hardened my container." The voice mused though Naruto could feel a tinge of anger and rage behind it which confused him. Why was the voice angry that he was attacked?
"Container?" Naruto asked the voice.
"You already know who I am, boy." The voice growled at him. "I know that you have an intelligent mind, a prodigy you might say, that you chose to hide behind that stupid smile of yours. I know everything about you considering that I am inside you."
Naruto thought about what the voice said. The voice of the villager who mentioned that he was the Kyuubi echoed in his head. If the villager was correct then…
"Kyuubi?" Naruto asked while dread rose from deep inside his hardening heart. But despite the admission, which he instinctively knew was correct; he continued to hold his gaze at the menacing red eyes staring back at him.
Instead of an answer, the blonde could hear movement from deep within the cage. It didn't take long for the owner of the voice to show itself and Naruto couldn't help but stare at the powerful figure in front of him.
The owner of the menacing eyes was gigantic and the physical structure was something that he only read in books. The creature was covered in red-orange fur. The facial structure was that of a fox though the rest of body was of a human-like structure. Nine large tails were waving behind the creature as if it had a life of its own.
"You are correct, my container. I am the Kyuubi no Yoko. The nine-tailed demon fox." Said Kyuubi as it revealed itself to its container and looking down at Naruto with a shrewd grin on its face.
"Why are you here? Didn't the Yondaime kill you five years ago? Better yet, where are we?" asked Naruto as he coldly stared at the legendary creature in front of him. He knew that he should be scared considering the tales he heard concerning the beast trapped in the cage in front of him; but he wasn't. In fact, he was more curious than scared and it showed with a slight tilt of his head that made him look like a fox.
Of course, Kyuubi saw the gesture and couldn't help but give a fang-filled grin at the fox-like attitude its container was showing.
"To answer your question in order, I am here because I exist. The Yondaime didn't kill me but sealed me inside you since killing me was above his skills at that time nor it would ever reach such stage to deal me intense harm to purge my existence. And finally, we are inside your mind; or in this case, your soul." Answered Kyuubi as he sat down on his haunches, tails wrapped around him. The posture was intimidating, to say the least.
"My soul…" Naruto trailed off as he digested the information. "If that is the case then you're sealed inside me. Meaning, the villagers were correct in saying that I am you."
Kyuubi shook its head and released a growl of anger which was followed by a wave of red energy that pushed past Naruto though the boy stood his ground and refused to give in to the menacing power that threatened to engulf him.
"Don't insult me. You could never be me. Would a kunai placed in a storage scroll replace the name of the scroll? No human. You are not me. I am merely sealed inside you. You are my jailor, my container." Kyuubi explained with a growl.
Naruto simply nodded at the explanation, his mind already processing the possibility of having the most powerful bijuu sealed inside him. There were questions plaguing his mind and he knew that the fox wouldn't be forthcoming with the information despite it knowing what he needed to know.
"I see. So this is the reason why the villagers kept attacking me and showing me nothing but hatred." Naruto said coldly with narrowed eyes, his mind running through the memories of the experience he faced from the residents of Konoha.
Kyuubi looked at those cold eyes and couldn't help but shiver at the intensity behind them. The bijuu could see that the current attack, a step up from the previous attempt to destroy its container, hardened the child in front of him.
No, its container could never be considered a child. Despite the age, the child in front of him was clearly a man.
A man that grew up in hatred and suffering that no human should ever be forced to endure.
"You're correct, my container. However, that is neither here nor there. I'm sure you have questions in that prodigious mind of yours and you know that only I can grant you the answers you seek."
"Correct, Kyuubi. But I don't see you being forthcoming with the information unless you get something out of it. If you're really a fox then it would only stand to reason that you have the same mannerism as your animal kin." Naruto drawled, recalling the book on the various animals given to him by his surrogate grandfather when he was taught how to read while he was still in the orphanage. Of course, he picked it up rather quickly and his photographic mind processing all the information it contained and embedding it into his thoughts in crystal clarity.
Kyuubi was amazed. Gone was the child in front of him to be replaced by a cold calculating human who was forced to endure the harshness of life. This was going to an enjoyable relationship. The bijuu shuddered in pleasure at the potential the boy, no man, held in him; a potential that can only be rivaled by a tailed beast. Kyuubi couldn't wait to tell its container of his proposition and it knew that it would be well received.
"It seems that you know me well, my container. But despite what you think, my offer to answer your questions requires no payment. The 'seal' that keeps me inside you demands nothing less. You control everything and the only thing that was allowed of me by the Shinigami who supervised the sealing was access to your thoughts. The law of non-interference is in place and only you could lift it if you so desire." The Kyuubi explained to its contained with a fanged grin.
"I see. So you would answer all my questions despite your unwillingness to do so. Interesting." Naruto mused out loud while looking around the room he was in. He noted the dreary atmosphere surrounding him. If this was his mind the he needed to do something about it. "You said that this is my soul and my mind?"
"Yes." Kyuubi said with a nod, curious as to what its container was thinking.
The bijuu saw its container close his eyes followed by a deep concentration on his face. It was speechless when the cavern morphed into pure darkness. Gone was the sewer-like cavern. Gone was the cage that held him in place. It was like as if the two of them were standing in darkness with no solid footing whatsoever.
Slowly, the darkness receded to reveal a large forest. Great trees with heights that reached the heavens above surrounded the large clearing they were in. The wet floor was replaced by a grassy field with flowers dotting here and there to add to its overall beauty. The final change was a sudden heat that seemed to surround its neck. It didn't take long for a collar to materialize around it with a name tag with the kanji of 'Seal' on its face.
Kyuubi growled in anger at being treated like a dog, a pet. A memory surfaced from its mind. A memory of red eyes with three black tomoes before darkness claimed him before he was sealed into the child. It's moment of anger was dispelled when its container spoke.
"Interesting. You were right when you said that I control everything in this place, my mindscape, so to speak." said Naruto as he looked around before his eyes settled on the collar that the bijuu was wearing. "Now that is an interesting development. I didn't 'imagine' the piece of accessory on your neck. It seemed that there is more to the Shinigami's seal. No matter how much I change the looks of my mindscape, the seal keeping you in place would still manifest itself in one form or another."
Kyuubi relaxed after hearing that explanation from the blonde. Its container didn't purposely place the demeaning accessory around its neck. It would let this go since its container had nothing to do with it.
"You're correct, in a way." said Kyuubi as it lay down on the soft grass, inwardly relishing the feel of nature underneath him. It was so long ago that he felt such sensation from nature and welcomed it with child-like glee. The bijuu made itself comfortable and crossed its front paws in front of him as he regarded its container who was already seated on the piece of rock that materialized behind him. It couldn't deny the fact that Naruto was a prodigy if he could command such change within his mind in just a short span of time. Intelligent men couldn't even begin to grasp the control that the brat had. "So, boy. Tell me your questions and I will answer them to the best of my abilities."
Naruto stared at the fox for a few seconds before the first question of many escaped his lips.
"What's your name?"
Kyuubi was surprised at the question. The bijuu was expecting more serious questions but the boy asked its name first. Interesting.
"It seemed that you realized, how I don't know, that Kyuubi was a title and not my real name. I will humor you, human. My name is Kurama. A name given to me by my father."
"Father?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Yes, my father. The man that I owed my life to; the man that created me and the rest of my siblings; the man that is a legend of your kind; The Sage of the Six Paths, the Rikkudo Sennin."
Now this piece of information surprised the blonde. He read that the Sage of the Six Paths was the founder of Ninjutsu but he didn't know the real history behind the man and the tailed beasts.
"I think this would be an interesting story to tell." said Naruto, not voicing his intent on learning the truth of the tailed beast though he knew that the fox would eventually tell him.
"Indeed. If you're interested then listen well, human…"
"Naruto. If we are going to hold a decent conversation then you might as well address me by my name, Kurama."
Kyuubi nodded to the request.
"Naruto then. The story started with a great beast that ravaged the land when the Elemental Nations was still in its infancy. A beast that was even more powerful than I. The Juubi, the ten-tailed beast."
"Ten tails? Now that is one part of history that I haven't heard about."
"Of course you wouldn't since it happened a long time ago and was forgotten except for a few who loved to learn the true history of the world. But I digress, the Rikkudo Sennin, the man I considered as father, sealed the Juubi into his body, thus, making him the first jinchuuriki."
"Jinchuuriki? Is that the name of those who had a demon sealed inside their body?" asked Naruto while unconsciously placing a hand on his stomach, not knowing that it was there that the seal of the Kyuubi was located.
"Correct. But before I start, I commend you on having such knowledge. A five-year old such as yourself shouldn't know of such terms, more so understand them with ease." Kyuubi complimented its container.
"I grew up faster than most, Kurama. It is both a blessing and a curse to be born with a well-developed mind. It was wrong of me to hide it but I had no choice in the matter if I wanted to live. However, I don't think I have the drive to live anymore unless I find something that would push me to continue in this dreadful existence that people call life." Naruto said bitter, his face grew colder if it was possible.
"I have a proposition for you that you might find interesting but let me finish the story first since you expressed the desire to learn." said Kyuubi. Naruto nodded in agreement. "As I was saying, the Rikkudo Sennin, my father, was the first jinchuuriki which could be literally translated to 'Power of Human Sacrifice'." However, my father realized that the seal keeping the Juubi in place would shatter upon his death and release the demon again into the world of the living. So in order to avoid such powers from decimating the human race, my father used one of the techniques granted to him by the Rinnegan to separate the Juubi's chakra into nine entities. This gave birth to the tailed beasts that exist today."
"The Rinnegan?" Naruto asked curiously, unfamiliar with the word.
"The Rinnegan is the most powerful of the Three Great Eye Techniques that dwarfed the power of the Sharingan and Byakugan. According to my father, the Rinnegan allowed the user to have the power of Kami - the power of life and death, of creation and destruction. The Rikkudo Sennin used the creation powers of the Rinnegan to create nine living bodies to house the power of the Juubi, thus me and my brothers and sisters were born."
"Interesting. I never knew that there were other eye techniques aside from the Byakugan and Sharingan." said Naruto as he rubbed his chin, an action that Kyuubi found weird considering that said person doing it was a boy. More like a man trapped in a boy's body.
"There are other eye techniques aside from those three, minor ones with minor abilities that merited no distinction from the Great Three."
"I see. Thanks for answering my question, Kurama. Please continue."
"Anyway, the human race is prideful at best and couldn't stand the thought of having entities more powerful than them so thus began their goal to capture our powers and seal them into humans that they could control. However, we were too powerful for them and only father's descendants had the power to truly control us if the need arises."
"Descendants? The Rikkudo Sennin had children?" Naruto asked in excitement. This was a piece of history that no longer existed and he craved to learn more.
"Yes. It was hidden from the human race that the Rikkudo Sennin fathered three children who became legends in their own right. These three children were blessed by father with his own powers which manifested differently in all three of them. The firstborn was the father of the Senju Clan who inherited father's calming presence. This was the reason why Senju Hashirama had the power to subdue and calm us even when under the fit of rage. His Mokuton bloodline was the manifestation of father's power in him."
"The second born was the father of the Uchiha Clan and was gifted with father's eye, though it mutated to become the Sharingan as it is known today. The eye held its own unique abilities depending on the owner's power and mindset but its ultimate power towards the tailed beast was to put us in an illusion to trigger the rage we inherited from the Juubi. However, such power was sealed until the Sharingan's ultimate level is unlocked."
"Finally, the youngest son was the father of the Uzumaki Clan and gifted by father's god-like body. This was one of the reasons why the Uzumaki Clan was the fit holder of the tailed beast since they inherited the Sage's tolerance towards the bijuu's potent chakra. A side-effect to this is their healing factor and potent chakra reserves which you display in abundance, as well as their longer life span."
"So you mean that my ability to heal rapidly from the various wounds I sustained from the attacks was because of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline?" Naruto asked, mind already processing the information Kurama imparted to him.
"Yes and no. You have the healing factor that is unique to your clan alone but it was further amplified by my presence inside you. It is known for a jinchuuriki to display the traits of the tailed beasts inside of them, like Shukaku's jinchuuriki who had complete dominion over sand and wind."
"So what did I get from you if each jinchuuriki displayed unique traits according to the bijuu sealed inside them?"
"Aside from the boost on your healing abilities that would be an invaluable asset in the battlefield, you have the ability to properly to reach a certain level of master over your régénération that you would become a pseudo immortal."
"Hmmm… that is interresting, but that is not all you are offering me is it?"
"Correct. I also offer to teach you how to use chakra at its fullest, I am one of the oldest beings alive in the world and I was sealed inside two other Uzumakis so I should be able to impart some of their knowledge on you, but we must keep this a secret for now at least."
"I agree with you there. There are only a few I trust in this village - the Hokage which I treat like a grandfather, the Ichiraku Family, and some of the shinobis in the village who protected me from the attacks." said Naruto as he mentally listed the few people who he considered precious to him.
"I know. As I told you, Naruto, I have access to your memories so everything that you experienced is known to me."
"Hmmm." Was Naruto's reponse before nodding. "So, Kurama, when would this lessons begin?" asked Naruto with a little bit of excitement in his voice.
"As soon as you're ready, Naruto."
FLASHBACK END:
"Ruto... Naruto!" came the voice of Kurama
"hai kurama what do you want?" answered Naruto
"What were thinking about you looked out there?" asked the bijuu
"oh nothing Kurama, just thinking about how we met in the first place. Anyway did you finish with the project you are working on?"
"Nope, not yet give me six months tops and it will be ready for action Naruto, anyway are you ready for your traaining?" asked the bijuu
"Hai..."
Timeskip one year (six years after Kyubi attack):
In the Uchiha compound, at night near the river was a mild-featured eight year old child with brown hair swept back, with a strand hanging down his face, alongside very manacing eyes. The child was dressed with a black kimono with the Uchiha clan on the back. His eyes were the sharingan with one tomoe in each one, his name was Uchiha Aizen and he was the next Uchiha Itachi. At the age of seven he unlocked the Sharingan and now a year later he already had a single tomoe in each eye. He was practicing the Fire ball jutsu near the River. Uchiha Aizen was a proud Uchiha clan member, why shouldn't he? He was one of the youngest members of his clan to ever awaken the Sharngan, his talents and work etics were going to take him further than any other uchiha had ever been, you see Aizen wanted to become Hokage and lead as was his right as an Uchiha elite, unfortunately or him whatever his destiny mght be would be ended tonight, or tonight one predator had chosen him as his prey. As Aizen was working on his gokakyu no jutsu, he heard a voice
"good evening Aizen san." he turned around and saw the beautiful face of Uchiha Satsuki, she was dressed in a pitch black kimono with a white raven design on it. He smiled and said
"good evening Satsuki san. How are you doing on this fine evening."
"I am doing great, so what were you doing?"
"I was training the gokakyu no jutsu" he answered before he saw beautiful green butterflies flying around the compound, 'So beautiful' he thought
"Oh! and why are you training so much, it is evening all ready, shouldn't you be resting"
"nope, if I want to accomplish my dream then I must train all the time."
"Your dream?" came the question.
"Yes my dream, you see I wish to become the first Uchiha to ever become Hokage." stated Aizen with never seen before zeal and conviction
"I see, well It is a shame you will never reach your dream." she said matter of factly and angered the Uchiha
"And why Is that Satsuki?" he growled, his answer was a chuckle from the female who said
"well because dead people have no dreams." she stated sweetly and Aizen attempted to make some distance between them, attempted because when he tried to move he went down to his knees and he started to hyperventilate, his mind raced the possibilities before he asked
"Poison, but how?" Satsuki merely chuckled before she pointed at the butterflies and said
"Jigokucho (hell's butterflies), these green ones can turn their scales into different poisons, this one in particular is one that has stages, the first one is paralisis, followed by inability to use chakra, then by loss of conciousness and finally we have death."
"Why? Why are killing me?" he wasn't angry, he was resigned to die with some dignity, all he wanted was to know the reason why he had to die.
"Uchiha Kaname, one of the most influencial people in the Uchiha clan. Let's just say that I need him to start doing some moves for me, and you being dead is important for my plans."
"You will not get away with this, the clan will now you were with me before my death"at that reamark Satsuki just laughed and said
"Nope, not really I am just a kage bunshin my friend, I am not even here." and with that Aizen died. Seeing the deed done, she turned around and said
"A job well done Naruto kun" and from the shadows came naruto, all the butterflies came back and entered his body. That was Kurama's gift to him, the Jigokucho (hell's butterflies), a type of golem created by Naruto's and kyubi's chakra and given as a gift to Naruto. They appear as butterflies, often with playing card suits adorning their wings. They have many ablities. Like spreading poison from their scales. Looking at the fallen form of Aizen, he returned his sight at Satsuki and said
"Was It really necessary?" the Uchiha sighed and said
"Hai It was Naru kun, for my plans, no, for our plans to work the Uchiha clan needs to be gone." and she dispersed in mureder of crows. Sighing Naruto dispersed in a swarm of butterflies.
Timeskip one year (seven years after Kyubi attack):
The last year has been very satisfactory to the blonde jinchuriki, he had achieved a lot more in his learning, especially in fuinjutsu, his personal creations the Shodojutsu (calligraphy arts) was his greates achievement, It was essentially the use of Fuinjutsu in combat, something rarely done in fuinjutsu except by the Uzumaki clan, and by the Yondaime Hokage. One of his proudest achievements was a simple character, the character 操 Misao (fidelity), it allowed him to implantcommands inside his targets mind, the best part was that they didn't even know about the commands and they followed them without even knowing. He used it on his landlord and made the bastard stop coming to him with rent, he also took the other two appartements on top of his own and made it so that the previous tenants left. He used the first as his real sleeping quarters and the second as his workshop.
Another thing his adavancement in fuinjutsu allowed him to do was studying his own seal, while studying it Naruto discovered that his seal was two fold: an easy to break if a bit complex Hakke no Fūin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing Style) and an unbreakable Shiki Fuin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal), it seems that the yondaime hokage did not give his soul or at least his whole soul to the shinigami, when he asked Kurama about it the bijuu answered that the events of that night were fuzzy at best for him and that all he remembered before being sealed was gutting both Namikaze and his wife with his claw, wether Kushina managed to survive or not he did not know nor really care but that was problematic for them since if the seal bound them then it was nearly unbreakable even in death unless naruto found a way to break the seal neighter of them would be able to be free again. Naruto found a solution, more of a gamble actually but a solution to his problem.
Scene Change:
Harunobo Takehito was a miserly man, unwilling to spend any money to pay his assistant at the loaning shop he owned. He was old, bitter, and hateful of pretty much everyone, charging outrageous rates of interest for the lowest of loans. This was a man with no family, having never done a good deed in his life if he could help it. No one would miss him, and a few would even quietly celebrate this mans death.
Naruto smiled to himself as he waited for the mans assistant to leave the shop. He was not usually one for vengeance, but his man had been responsible for the very first attack upon him. The man had taken a moment to celebrate an incredibly successful loan, drinking and treating himself for the first time in years upon Dango and Sake. He had seen the little blond boy shivering just inside an ally, and had decided to have himself a bit of fun.
The word Demon had been carved into his stomach that day.
Naruto spotted the assistant leaving, and took the opportunity to strike, appearing behind him and striking his neck, knocking him out while leaving him alive, grabbing his falling body and shunshinning away to his prepared area, leaving no trace of his presence. He placed the man in the coffin, finishing the last few seals. He backed up, going through the hand signs. He put a shinigami mask on the man, a mask he took from the Uzu shrine in konoha. he then said "Kuchiose no jutsu Shinigami (summoning jutsu death god)" a silent scream came from the man before a ghost like matter appeared behind him, it changed shape a bit before stabilizing. The Shinigami is a translucent gaunt spectre with a demonic visage. It is much larger than an average human, possessing long, shaggy white hair, from which two red horns protrude, and purple-coloured skin. It is draped in a large white garments and carries a set of prayer beads. When not using it, the Shinigami is almost always seen with a tantō in its mouth. When removed, however, its mouth is revealed to be full of sharp, jagged teeth, and a very long, almost serpentine tongue. The shinigami took a breath before saying
"Who dares summon me!" he said angry at being disturbed
"I did Shinigami sama, I was hoping to break one of your contracts." the Shinigami looked at naruto before answering
"Uzumaki Naruto, I remember you, I was there when Namikaze Minato sealed the kyubi in you. So you wish to break your contract with me, very well let's hear your proposal"
"A soul for a soul you already have that old man's soul so why don't we just call it even ne?" at his answer the Shinigami chuckled before saying
"A soul does not equal another child" he was about to leave when Naruto said
"aha, now we have just established my proposal is ound in principal now we are just haggling over the price" now that stopped the demi god in its tracks
"The price?" asked the Shinigami intreagued, Naruto smirked and said
"Just how many souls do you think mine is worth?" the shinigami seemed to think about it for a moment before saying
"450 souls, all decendants of the rikudou sennin, do not summon me unless you have my payement." and with that the Shinigami left.
Naruto smirked and said outloud "What do you think Kurama?"
'It Is possible, in fact I think It Is very possible." And that was how Naruto started to plan how to make Use of the Uchiha clan's downfall.
Speaking of his plans for the Uchiha, Satsuki's plan was spot on, it seems that when the Hokage's med nins tried to do an autopsy to the Uchiha kid he killed they came back with nothing, that made the Uchiha clan very furious and distrustfull of the current regime and under the leadership of Kaname they started preparing a coup against the current Hokage and the village. That was Satsuki's plan, you see Kaname had half of the council in his back pocket, either through political favors or the fact that they wouldn't be on the council in the first place if he did not allow it. Now seeing his only son killed had made the man very paranoid since the best med nins in the elemental nations were unable to diagnose what killed his son, that made the man think inside job, then think Hokage and finally he had managed to make the majority of the clan on board with his plan of the coup. Well he was right about it being an inside job, but he was wrong, it was not a useless old man that was doing it, nor was it an overzealous war hawk that wanted to rule konoha and make it in his image but it was them, THEM, Uzumaki Naruto, the jinchuriki of Kurama, the kyubi no yoko and Satsuki Uchiha, the ones who had their best friend raped and killed by these bastards. Anyway, the Uchiha clan coup was not going to happen, since the hokage, may his soul rest in the deepest pits of hell, had two whistle blowers named Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui. Shisui had a plan to use his mangekyo Sharingan on the Uchiha clan to stop them from going through with it but neighter Naruto nor Satsuki could not allow that to happen, they devised a way to handle that and make sure the Uchiha clan die a horrible death.
scene change.
Shisui had short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair, black eyes and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, that were turns upwards at each end. In the anime, however, these lines are broken instead of whole. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. Said Uchiha was watching the village after a meeting with the Hokage and his advisers.
flash back
Shisui was kneeling in front of the four most influencial people in konoha, the first starting from the right was Homura Mitokado, in his old age, Homura is depicted with grey hair, a beard, glasses as well as a constant frown that he's always worn, even in his youth. He also has a strong jaw-line a facial structure he has retained even in his old age. As a member of the Konoha Council, he wears similar garbs to those that Hiruzen would when acting in his capacity as Hokage. by his side was Koharu Utatane, In her youth, Koharu was a beautiful kunoichi with dark eyes. Her hair is pulled back in a twin bun locked by a traditional Japanese hair pin with two pearls dangling off the side. She also had fringes that covered her forehead protector. Her shinobi outfit consisted of a simple black outfit, a grey breastplate, arm guards, fishnet tights with a skirt over it, a pouch strapped to her back with bandages, and regular shinobi sandals. In her old age, she maintains her original hairstyle without the bangs. The pearls on her hair needle have also increased and tassels were added to the other end. Her earrings are also considerably longer. As a member of the Konoha Council, Koharu wears a simple long kimono, closed by an obi, a jacket, and a sash over it. Koharu has also taken to squinting, barely opening her eyes at any point in time. The third person was Hiruzen Sarutobi, The only consistent physical feature Hiruzen has displayed has been his below-average stature, all his other attributes having changed over the years: During his youth he was tan-skinned and had dark brown, spiked hair, adding a small goatee to his look after becoming Hokage; Towards the end of his life his skin is lighter, his hair is grey, his face is gaunter, and he has the wrinkles and liver spots of old age. He initially had a single line running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face as he aged until they reached his cheeks. While Shisui respected all the people present it was the last person that had him on edge, situated on Hiruzen's left was Danzo Shimura, Danzō appeared as a frail, old man, who would normally walk with a cane. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged — concealing a Sharingan underneath. Danzō has had an x-shaped scar on his chin ever since his youth. He wore a white shirt, with a black or dark grey robe over the top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder. The robe conceals his right arm which was bandaged, and covered with three large golden braces. As Shisui was continuing with his report Danzo kept his eyes closed.
"... as it stands, the coup is still in motion." stated Shisui dutifully.
"I see.." said Hiruzen, Danzo oppened his eyes and turned to his old rival and said
"Hiruzen what's your plan now?If we remain idle for too long it's going to be late." as he saw the lack of reaction for Hiruzen he continued "Look, as the head of the village, sometimes it's necessary fo you to make hard decisions. Isn't now the time to do just that." and he waited for the Hokage's answer but was interrupted by Shisui who said
"please wait" causing all to look at him "If I may, I think I have an alternative, there is a plan I'd like to try if you let me." now that caused Hiruzen to ask
"a plan you say?" but Danzo said " This is a waste of time, there are no other options right now" Hiruzen ignored the warhawk in favor of listening to Shisui
"what is this plan Shisui."
"I will use my mangekyo Sharingan on the clan" said Itachi causing all the elders and the hokage to be surprised before hiruzen said
"do you truly realise what you are saying? You will forever be branded with the sin of using the jutsu against your own clan."
"I understand, but still it's worth protecting what I hold dear. Lord third please." causing Hiruzen to sigh before he answered
"If you believe in this, I won't stop you. Do what you must." Shisui sighed in relief before bowing and said
"thank you sir!"
"however'" continued hiruzen "you may step back and cancel your plan if you change your mind. Remeber, there is still time for all of us to think about other alternatives. Understood Shisui." Shisui left after that and now one saw the scheming look in Danzo's eyes.
scene change.
Uchiha Shisui was not having a good day. First he found out that the coup d'etat was going to take place tomorrow, then he had to miss his student's birthday party because he had to report the the Hokage and the elders, then he is given the order to place the Uchiha clan head under his genjutsu to control him, and now before he could make it to the Uchiha Compound to preform his mission he was intercepted by Danzo.
Shisui had already known that Danzo would have some kind hidden agenda so he was ready. This fact alone was the reason that Shisui still had both of his eyes. Danzo had tried to give him some kind of speech about protecting the leaf his own was and came at him with the intention to steal his eye. However Shisui caught his wrist and put him under a powerful Sharingan genjutsu. He knew it wouldn't last though.
As soon as the Uchiha activated his Sharingan he noticed the chakra in Danzo's right eye. It was the same chakra color as a Sharingan. Shisui immediately realized that the only reason that Danzo would have the Sharingan was to use the Izanagi, a forbidden jutsu of the Sharingan that allows the user to alter fate. However the cost of using it is blindness in the eye that was used.
He quickly Shunshined to his left and sure enough the Danzo that he was looking at disappeared and another reappeared right behind where he used to be standing.
"How did you manage to see through my Izanagi" Danzo asked annoyed.
"Did you really think that any illusion could escape my sharingan?"
The one-eyed man sighed, "I suppose I'll have to approach this differently then."
Danzo signaled for his ROOT to come out of the shadows and appear before him.
Five shinobi wearing blank porcelain masks and redular ANBU attire Shunshined onto the battleground.
"Danzo..." growled Shisui
"All of you juts stay back" said the war hawk to his drones.
"What is the meaning of this? Why are you standing in my way!?"
"Kotoamatsukami... a visual jutsu that creates false experiences. Such a great power, but what a wast to use only to stop a coup. How unfortunate that an Uchiha doesn't know how to use the Sharingan. If you used your visual prowess on your clan... as long as the Uchiha clan exists, it's highly doubtful that another coup can be avoided. And even if it worked it would be just for this instance. There is no guarantee that the same thing will not just happen again. On the countrary, it probably will happen again. Sooner or later, the village will have to deal with the Uchiha clan. If so by exterminating the Uchiha clan now... the future of the village will be assured, don't you think?"
"Danzo, you were planning this all along..." growled shisui but the warhawk just lookled at the sky before saying
"this is all for the sake of attaining true peace for the village" then he looked at Shisui and said "Shisui... don't worry. I will make good use of your eyes." and then he charged Shisui who quickly draws his tanto and counterattacks. After a few minutes of high speed taijutsu between the two shinobi, where both shisui and Danzo proved their metel as superior shinobi both fighters jumped back and strted breathing heavily to reagain their breath, after a few seconds Danzo said
"How persistent, you have clearily earned your reputation as the strongest Uchiha. I suppose I must force an opportunity upon you" and he made a signal for his drones to attack Shisui. They threw Kuni nd Shuriken at him but Shisui used his tnto to get rid of them but he didn't realise the warhawk sneeking up on him until it was too late and the elder was going to have his eye, if i wasn't for the fact that the elder seemed to flinch for a moment. Not being one to look a gift horse in the mouh, Shisui, using a smoke bomb mnaged to give them the slip. The leder ordered his drones to hunt the Uchiha while thinking 'What just happened' not noticing the kanji 岩(iwa, rock) on his arm that faded.
With Shisui.
Having Managed to give Danzo and his drones the slip, Shisui summoned a crow and sent I with a message to his best friend Itachi so that the other Konoha loyalist gives him a hand with his self imposed Mission to save the Uchiha Clan. As the crow was flying away he thought
'Hurry Itachi, I need your help'
Scene Change:
Satsuki was sitting in her room when a crow came to her window, she noticed a scroll tied to Its leg and smirked, she took the scroll, oppened it and smirked, It was time to make her plan come through. She took a blank scroll, and Imitaing the wriing of the person on the scroll she sent a different message to the recipient of the message and ordered the crow o deliver the message. One of the perks of Having the Tengu summons was absolute authority over both the Raven and Crow clans. She got dressed and took with her a pitch black Tanto to do the deed.
Scene Change:
The sun had set and itachi was worried. Shisui had never been this late. but even as worried as he was he couldn't help but admire the nature around him, especially the blue butterflies that were flying around the area they decided to meet in. Suddenly, he heard movement in the trees above them.
"Is that you Shisui?" Itachi asked.
"Come!" Shisui said, still not visible. They went to the Naka river, where he knew Shisui would be. he found him looking at the waterfall on the other side. They walked up to him and faced his back.
"It's too late to stop the Uchiha's uprising. If civil war breaks out, then it will undoubtedly lead to a full scale war. I was going to stop the uprising with my Kotoamatsukami but, Danzo took my right eye." He turned around showing his face with one less eye. "He doesn't trust me. He intends to protect the village his own way, no matter what it takes or how it looks. I know he'll come after my left eye soon enough. Itachi, I'm giving it to you.". Shisui ripped his eye out of its socket. Itachi's eyes widened and then got a sad look. 'Shisui…' he thought. Itachi held out his hand and Shisui dropped his eye into it. Naruto closed his hand. "You really are the only one I can trust. Protect the village and the honour of the Uchiha name. Itachi I'm going to give you something as well. The Mangekyo Sharingan." Itachi's eyes widened.
"Shisui, you can't." Itachi said in a begging way.
"It's alright. I've already left behind a note." He began walking back towards the river.
"Wait! Shisui!" Itachi yelled.
"Don't stop me." He smiled and leaned backwards with a smile on his face. 'If you're my friend, my brother, you'll trust me.' Itachi ran to Shisui to try and grab his hands, only to fall short and watch brother fall into the Naka river with the smile never leaving his face.
"Shisui! Itachi yelled. His body disappeared in the currents. he closed his eyes and oppened them, instead of the normal sharingan his eyes were Mangekyo Sharingan, Its design was three spiralling curves around the pupil. After grieving for the death of the man he considered a brother Itachi decided to leave the area.
After he left all the butterflies ib the clearing Shisui and Itachi met in converged into a single black mass, and from said mass emerged a smirking Naruto who thought 'my job is done Satsuki, your turn now.'
Scene Change.
Shisui was waiting for Itachi to come, he started thinking how it all started, the murder of Aizen. He was brought back from his musings with the form of Itachi appearing from a murder of crows. Shisui smiled at his friend and said
"Itachi what took you so long?" Itachi merely looked curious and answered
"What do you mean shisui i am well over ten minutes early, anyway what di you call me all the way here for," at itachi's question, shisui sighed and said
"The clan is being rebelious itachi It has been decided that I was to use my Kotoamatsukami (Distinguished Heavenly Gods) on the elders and make them forget thoughts of the coup. Well that was the plan initially anyway, now Danzo wants my eyes for himself and I can not let that happen."
"Wait amoment, what do you mean Danzo, what does he have to do with any of this?"
"Danzo tried to steal my eyes earlier but I managef to give him and his drones the slip earlier, anyway I need your help" said Shisui while giving his back to Itachi, Itachi smirked and drew his tanto, not noticing this Shisui continued "we can't allow the clan the got throught with the coup, the fourth shinobi gret war will happen if that was the case, so i will need your help to keep danzo of my back while I handle the clan..." he was about to continue when he flt something sharp errupt form his guts, he looked down and saw a tanto there, he tried to move but before he could make a sound he fell to the ground dead. Itachi smirked and he disappeared in a black cloud from which appeared Stsuki, she kneeled close to her brother and said
"You were allways predictable Nii san, well now that you are dead you no longer need you Mangekyo sharingan, so I will take for myself, Ja ne" and just like that she disappeared.
