The Hidden Leaf village, also known as Konoha is known as the center of the Emotional Spectrum. Where Emotions are created and destroyed. Where the Emotions' spiritual incarnations, or Manifestations, are chosen.
The main Emotion that runs Konoha and keeps it peaceful is the Manifestation of Willpower. Hence the reason each single person who ran Konoha went by a Motto set by the First Hokage: The Will of Fire.
In the past, the Emotions had previous Manifestations. Two belonging to the founders of Konoha. Willpower brought to the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, and Fear being sent to Madara Uchiha. Though they and their clans were rivals in the past, the two of them came together and made a peace signing with each other. Which then began a series of events that led to the creation of Konoha.
Over time, several Incarnates have went rouge. A select few have been the Co-Founder of Konoha, Madara Uchiha. He supposedly died in the place where the people of Konoha call The Valley of The End. Another one is the Incarnate of Greed, and a student of the Third Hokage: Orochimaru.
With their defeats, the Emotions are sent back to Konoha and locked up from being able to escape again. And unable to be used again.
But tonight will be the rise of a new Emotion. One that may bring devastation upon Konoha, or to be its watcher and protector.
"Hokage-sama, the Emotion Spectrum is active again." A man in a green shinobi jacket with Konoha's hitai-ate around his head said to a man wearing a white cloak with orange flames on its ends. "And what's the big deal about it? Isn't this a good thing?" The blonde haired man asked.
"I'm afraid not sir. There's no scheduled Incarnation choosing until several months ahead from now." A young blond haired kid with the same looks and complexion ran up to his father's legs. "What's going on daddy?" The white cloaked man smiled at the child and said "Don't worry Naruto. Everything will be alright."
His eyes looked up at the shinobi. "I want every single ANBU agent available searching for the cause of this disruption." "Hai, Hokage-sama." He disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Elsewhere in Konoha, a shinobi wearing an ANBU outfit is standing in the roadway with a young child on the ground before him. "Why? Why did you do it nii-san?" The young boy asked. "Because, I wanted to test my strength. If you wish to kill me, then hate me. Hate me with every fiber in your body. Only then, will you have a chance at beating me Sasuke."
Several streets outside of the compound they were in, several ANBU Agents were heading towards their location. The man looked down at his knocked out brother before a bright, red light fell from the sky an impacted itself upon Sasuke's body. The light was so intense that the man had to cover his eyes, to which he lowered when the light disappeared.
The man looked at Sasuke with curiosity, but he then ran off quickly on the rooftops. When the ANBU Agents arrived and found Sasuke still living but unconscious, the one wearing the Dog mask looked at the others. "Take the boy to the hospital. I'll tell the Hokage the news."
Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage, had sighed when he was at his desk. He had just received news that the Uchiha Clan had been massacred except for one boy, and that the culprit had been none other the Uchiha Prodigy, Itachi. Not only that, the boy was the cause for the Emotional Spectrum's unexpected release.
But above all of that, he was worried more about one thing. How the hell was he going to tell Kushina that her best friend had just been slaughtered along with practically her entire clan?
