Author's note
Yes, I know this is not a update, rather it's an announcement.
And before you say I'm abandoning this story, I'm not abandoning anything, instead I'm going to rewrite this from the beginning and start over.
I know and I want to apologize for doing this to everyone who read this story, who favorited and followed. I want to say I'm sorry for doing this to you and thank you for liking this story.
The reason I'm rewriting the entire story is since I posted this at the beginning of October, I couldn't come up with anything to advance the plot. This has nothing to do with laziness or not finding time to write, I always make time to write no matter how small it is. After thinking on this for a month I just could come up with anything so I'm going to rewrite everything.
The other reason was from watching the latest Naruto Shippuden episodes on Crunchy Roll and the movie John Wick. Great movie by the way. Inspired me to do this rewrite, that and writers block.
Curse you, writers block for tormenting me for weeks. And let me just tell you the stress was horrible.
Again I want to apologize to everyone who left reviews and favorite/followed this story, it means a lot and shows that you do like my work.
Don't sweat it as I'm already in the process of writing the first chapter for the rewrite. He's a sneak peek.
In an open field a battle was currently taking place, or rather a war was in progress. Sirzech Gremory had fought for his people and home during the great war against God's heavenly forces and the Fallen Angel Organization, the Girgori of the underworld. He now fought a war against former comrades who supported the descendants of the original four Satans who fell during the previous war.
Now him, Serafall Siti, Falbium Glasya-Labolas and his best friend Ajuka Astaroth made up the Anti-Satan force fighting against the descendants of the original Maous.
War was horrible and an unforgiving practice, Sirzech couldn't remember how many friends and comrades he lost fighting in both wars. He hoped that with this battle they could push the original's force back and bring this conflict that's force brother against brother to a close.
Bringing himself back to the battle he was currently fighting, he jumped back and using the sword he had picked up, he deflected the three shooting stars that his opponent used against him. When Sirzech first saw this opponent use weaponry that a shinobi, or ninja were infamous for using, he believed he was fighting the real thing, or perhaps a copy of the original, imitation. But he soon realize he was fighting the real thing.
The man opposite of him was a strange and powerful foe indeed, this was not his first encounter with this strange man. Looking to his right briefly, he saw a further away from his own battle his good friends Serafall and Ajuka were fighting against a double of the man. He himself, was doing battle with the original who had the power to duplicate himself of his own free will. A power like that was indeed impressive Sirzech thought. Turning back to his own opponent he noticed that he sheathed his sword, a Chokutō, and had his gunbai fan on his back.
He notice his hands were in the middle of finishing his next attack, Sirzech knew all to well what he was doing. Not waisting time himself, he prepared his counter.
He finished. The man drew in a lot of air, puffing up his chest like a blowfish. And then, he lean forward and breath out a large fireball.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu"
He then reached for the handle of his gunbai fan on his right side and after pulling it free, he swung with great force. The gust of wind created from his fan combined with his fireball making it twice as large and with extra momentum sped up its speed dramatically.
Overhearing the name of his attack, Sirzech fired a wave of the Bael family's Power of Destruction he inherited from his mother who hailed from the Bael clan.
The two attacks met in the center, resulting in a large explosion from canceling each other out.
Gritting his teeth in frustration, although time didn't grant him much with being one of the four leaders. He had hoped the two weeks of non-stop training to prepare when he met this man once more on the field were all for nothing. He still couldn't punch through his defenses and all his attacks do is cancel his when they meet. It was all to frustrating, the stress was beginning to set in, Sirzech was beginning to lose hope for their cause. Was all he was doing, was it indeed a lost cause?
"So you are beginning to see the bigger picture." He finally spoke! "It's about time we end this dance of ours, Sirzech. The final curtain falls with this last act." After he utter this, the ground shook as a tremendous power flooded the clearing they were fighting on. Looking back at the other fight, his heart sank to dangerous levels when seeing the battered and bloody bodies of Serafall and Ajuka lying face down on the ground. The clone they were fighting was long gone, having accomplish what his creator ask of him. It was just him left, making him their last stand.
Soon the power flow stopped and the small earthquakes along with it, the man across from him had his eyes closed for reason Sirzech couldn't understand but could make out this to be his final encounter with this man who bested three of their forces best.
Opening both of his eyes, the familiar light grey-purple eyes, with a ripple-like pattern stared back at his own blue-green ones.
"You finally understand that victory is far from your grasp and the hope you so desperately clung close to yourselves has diminish. Sirzech Gremory! Its about time I see you out of this world."
When I wrote the first version of this story why did I begin somewhere post Great War. Well fuck that and throw it out of the window cause we are going pre Great War, so expect Minato to meet some familiar faces early.
And with beginning so far back this grants him the opportunities to fix or fuck up, but mostly fix certain events that happened in Canon.
Minato when he joins the Great War he won't always be fighting, he'll travel and understand the world he now finds himself in and during his travels he could help with events and change the timeline for good or worse. Allow me to elaborate.
'What if Minato involve himself when Kuroka was escaping with little Shirone(Koneko) perhaps his involvement could keep the sisters together and avoid any bad blood between them in the future. What if he found Kiba and saved him from going down the path of revenge, maybe he could meet Vali and become the friend or older brother he always needed. What if he saved Akeno's mother from dying that day and Akeno harbored no hatred for her father. Why haven't I not written this yet!
Anyways hopefully you enjoyed the small preview for the rewrite and I again apologize to those who liked this version.
I'll see you guys and Thank you for your support.
