Konan lied there floating in the water, waiting for her death. She heard stories of how in those spare seconds before death, people recalled on specific moments in their life. Yahiko, Nagato, Jiraiya-sensei. She had already dispatched a piece of paper to their old hideout to signal her departure. Her mind turned toward more foul memories. How is it possible that Madara could have won? She had gauged every strength of his, every weakness. The ten-minute bomb should have taken advantage of the weakness in his phasing ability. Yet, he had the gull to pull an Izanagi on her.
She heard stories of that genjutsu from Nagato. The ability to turn reality into a genjutsu. It was powerful, to say in the least. She heard rumors of Danzo using it against Sasuke during their last stand. Here she was, dying, and she couldn't prevent Madara stealing Nagato. Maybe she should have taken up Deidara's personality and loathed the Sharingan. But look where that got him. Although, knowing Madara and now that he had the Rinnegan, that Deidara's death would probably be reversed. Madara declared that she would die after his genjutsu extracted the information from her, and she could feel her life slipping away.
She gritted her teeth in anger. This wasn't supposed to happen. She was suppose to hold up the bridge to peace. The bridge that Nagato and Naruto would take to rid the world of war and suffering. She failed Nagato, and now she's failing Naruto. Madara had just stolen the Nagato's Rinnegan and if his use of Izanagi is any indication, he maybe able to manipulate the Rinnegan to an even greater extent than Nagato. And that combined with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. She can't just let it happen! She won't let that happen! Ever! She is the one that would support the bridge to peace, and as far as she's concerned, she'll do anything to make it happen.
A green, warm glow made itself known on her right arm. She turned her head slowly to the right, looking inquisitively at the seemingly foreign presence. Her eyes widened considerably. There was a green, glowing seal on her arm, shaped into the kanji for "peace". She recognized the seal. But, moreover, she recognized the workings. Nagato! Her mind drifted back to him applying the seal on her arm. She released the seal with a labored breath.
This was the key! Part of the Human Path's ability. This key would help her continue her mission. The seal could only allow it to be used once, and she was determined to make full use of it. Madara will not crush the bridge to peace. Naruto's the one chance everyone has to save the shinobi world. Taking a labored breath, She summoned the last remaining scraps of her chakra and...
"Ninpo: Shikigami no Mai. Ban Fuin"
I hope that was good enough to get your blood running, folks. This is the prologue to the story and a major part of story's structure. This is a far as I'm able to get before waiting for Kishimoto to explain Naruto's new biju powers and provide me with a suitable "jumping off" point. Like I said before, this story will consist of a two parts, a Naruto part (or as I'm naming it, de/part), and a Naruto/X-Men part. Right now, we're in de/part and will consist of maybe 4 chapters, averaging around 5000 words long. It's up to you guys to decide how long the Naruto/X-Men piece will be, i.e. I plan on it being never ending.
Ninpo: Shikigami no Mai is the jutsu Konan uses to separate herself into tons of origami papers. "Ban Fuin" translates into "final seal".
