Four figures in black cloaks stood on a cliff overlooking the hidden leaf village.

"It is almost time," one said kneeling down to feel the earth.

"Yes...soon he will be released, and the end of this accursed world will begin."

"Are you sure this is the place he was imprisoned?"

"Yes, this village was built upon his eternal prison. How fitting it will be to unleash him upon the descendents of those that first imprisoned him."

The one kneeling down suddenly rested his other hand on the ground,"It is time."

Sakura was walking home when she suddenly stopped.

What is this weird feeling...

The Hokage Monument suddenly exploded, sending the stone faces of the hokages crashing down upon the village. All the ninja of the village quickly ran to the top of the mountain to see what caused it. As the smoke cleared they all approached the crater and stopped. A clawed hand, gray and covered in scales, gripped the edge of the crater. It suddenly shot into the air and landed in front of them. It looked like a tall man, gray with lizard like features: his eyes were yellow and slitted, he only had two slits for a nose, his teeth were pointed and sharp, and he had a tail with a hooked tip. A vicious smile formed upon his face as he eyed the leaf ninja.

"Sons and daughters of my enemies; how much pleasure I will have, to tear you all limb from limb."

"And who, exactly, are you?" Tsunade asked.

"I? I am Ashitomago, the child of all your suffering." He sniffed the air and gave a deep breath,"Yessss.....there is so much death and despair surrounding this place. It's invigorating!"He said spreading his arms and looking up in wonder.

"Why are you here? And why did you destroy the Hokage Monument?" Tsunade said angrily.

"Your....monument, was my prison. You see, your forefathers saw it fit to imprison me close to their home, so that should I ever break out, they could stop me." Ashitomago said.

"Stop you from what, exactly?" Kakashi asked.

"This world...sickens me!" he snarled,"I have dedicated my life to ending it, and almost succeeded until your accursed forefathers stopped and sealed me away. You can gladly thank them for me after I send you to the afterlife to meet them!" Ashitomago said with a twisted smile.

"We won't let you get away with this!" Naruto said getting out a kunai.

"And you think you can stop me!" Ashitomago said laughing,"I will make sure not to kill you so quickly child, your death with be the most pleasurable of all-" he suddenly stopped and eyed Naruto suspiciously,"So....the Nine-tailed fox huh? Such a waste of power it is to be sealed in one such as you."

"How did you-"

"Fool, I can smell it's chakra, along with the chakra of the shadow clone you have standing behind me!" he roared as he quickly turned around and slashed one of Naruto's shadow clones.

The rest of the ninja charged. Ashitomago turned around and let out a bloodcurdling roar, knocking everyone off their feet.

"Fools! You lack the vital components to defeat me-"he stopped as he was suddenly wrapped in wood.

"What?!"

"You looked surprised." Tsunade said with a smile.

"So...it seems his blood has indeed survived the natural selection of life. No matter, this enough is not enough to-" he suddenly stopped as he stared at Kakashi's sharingan.

Impossible! I do smell an Uchiha anywhere in this area!

"I take it this isn't the first time you've seen a sharingan." Kakashi said.

"You may have their eyes, but you do not have their blood!" he roared as he shattered his wooden bindings. He landed and with blinding speed charged at Yamato and Kakashi. They both quickly jumped to avoid his strikes. He turned around and let out another roar, knocking everyone back again. Naruto quickly got up as Ashitomago snatched him up.

"Are you ready to die urchin?" he smiled.

"You first! Rasengan!" Naruto yelled smashing his rasengan into Ashitomago's chest. The jutsu pushed him back a few feet and vanished into his mouth.

He chuckled,"Your chakra is most delicious, perhaps you would like to make another donation."

"Not interested."

"I wasn't asking!" he said charging.

He suddenly stopped and jumped back as Tsunade and Sakura's punches smashed the ground.

"Such brute force, among women? Tis' a remarkable feat I must admit."He bared his fangs.

He turned around just as Neji and Hinata were withing melee range.

"Striking when my back is turned are we?" He said as his tail lashed out. Hinata and Neji suddenly stopped and jumped back as his tail suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Tenten asked.

"There's a barrier here." Neji said.

The four cloaked figures jumped in front of Ashitomago,"Master, long have we awaited your return." On said as they all bowed.

"Okay....what's going on now?" Lee asked.

"And you are?" Ashitomago asked.

"My Lord, we are the children of the Madri, the people who faithfully served you until the dogs of the hidden leaf sealed you away. We have brought the skull of Genru, sealed within is all the power you will need to rise to your former power and beyond." The middle one said presenting him the skull.

Ashitomago took it, and swallowed it in one gulp. He suddenly bent over, holding his stomach, his eyes held shut in as though in pain. A smile stretched across his face as he dug his claw into the ground and made a swiping motion towards Konoha. The ground began to shake as the ground within the village began to split open. Lava began to erupt from the ground and flow into the streets.

"Oh my, did I do that? I guess I don't know my own strength. Oh well." Ashitomago said with a maniacal laugh.

"You bastard!" Tsunade said.

"If I were you all, I'd live up to the pitiful title of heroism and save your little village before it is consumed. I'd truly love to stay and watch this delicious destruction, but I have a world to ravage!" He said.

Ashitomago's tail wrapped around the four cloaked followers and in a burst of flame they were gone.

"C'mon! We have to save the village!" Sakura yelled.
