The Ghost Within

Before the era of ninja villages, Madara and his younger brother, Izuna, were considered the most gifted members of the Uchiha clan. Even by his clan's standards, Madara's chakra was especially strong. He grew up constantly competing and training with Izuna and in their efforts to surpass each other, each gained their own Mangekyō Sharingan. With the power of the Mangekyō the two brothers took control of the clan, with Madara as its leader. Under his leadership, the clan conquered all they came across. Because of the never-ending series of battles at the time, Madara eventually began to suffer from overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan, leaving him blind. In order to regain his sight he took Izuna's eyes for himself, granting him an "eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan with which he led the Uchiha clan to prosperity.

Next match was Yuurei vs Quan.

"Hey hope ya don't mind but I have to win" Quan said as he took his stance. Yuurei remained silent and kept his arms crossed.

!Begin!

Quan rushed forward with a rapid slash strike aimed for Yuurei chest. But the silent shinobi dodged them with no care. As he dodged, Quan made single hand justu signs.

"Suiton; Rising Pillar no Jutsu" a large pillar of water shot up between them which made Yuurei jump back but gave Quan a clear shot at a sneak attack. Focusing chakara in the ball of his heel, he did a spin and dashed around hoping to catch his black clad opponent off guard. When Yuurei came into view he slashed the blunt side of his blade to prevent killing him, but to only injure him slightly to win. When his blade make contact to the body it delated into a cloud of ash. Quan searched frantically for the opponent whose chakara he couldn't sense and was on constant guard.

…..

"Whoa that guy vanished!" Naruto shouted in surprise as he looked around hoping to spot him. But Sasuke had a better idea; activating his sharingan he searched for the chakara signal. His eyes couldn't pick it up either.

"What the hell is this guy!" he thought in a mental panic as he scanned the area up and down for for the strange participant. Yuurei was a mystery an enigma if you will. He had not ever noticed or heard of this person the whole time his team was retaking the chunin exams.

"You are wasting your time" Yuureis voice echoed stoicly beside him. He was standing next to the young uchia with a air of danger which made him take his guard.

"What the hell do you want" Sasuke demanded as his two tomo sharingan began to spin violently. He watched as the black clad shinobi pointed a finger toward him and suddenly in front of him with his finger on his forehead.

"Your eyes" he said in a chilling voice as suddenly felt himself being transported to a different location. It was on the outer village wall between the village and the forest.

"He can use spacial jutsu!"

"Its useless to resist, your sharingan will be in my possesion and you shall be disposed of." Yuurei said in a cold still echoing voice. His fingers slowly reached for his eyes, but then sasuke felt a push within him make him take action.

"Katon; Fireball Jutsu!" she shouted as he grabbed Yuureis hand and spewed a sphere of fire into his face. When the man jumped back to put out the flames, Sasukes sharingan began to pulse and twitch making him fall to his knees. The curse mark (yes he still has it at the moment) sizzed on his neck even though it had been unactive since the sand village attack.

Yuureis managed to douse the flames but his face was now exposed for sasuke to see. He had short black hair and glassy blue-white eyes which seemed to peirce into his soul. "That little surprise attack wont work on me twice" he hissed as he made hand symbols "I shall deliver for the cause!; Suiton; Mindless Mist no Jutsu". A mist suddenly shrouded around Sasuke and all of his memories that haunted him suddenly returned.

"This mist makes you live out all your fears, it make your mind panic, ittll be your…"

"Your death" a dark chilling voice said cutting him off. He then saw a blackish violet chakara light up in the mist and a whole bearing of killing intent focused on him.

"What is this. The curse mark?" Yuurei thought feircely as he prepared to perform another jutsu, but Sasuke was already in front of him in a blur and kicked him hard across the face. Before he could fly away, Sasuke grabbed his ankle and slammed him on his back. Finally managing to get a good look at him, he was not expecting what he saw.

The curse mark was nowhere spread on his body, sasuke sharingan went from a simple to symbols to a mature three symbol sharingan, then the pattern formed into a trigram star. Next to him was a shape of a person with the same menacing red sharingan eyes which contained coldness and sucked his life away in its gaze.

"W-what the hell is this dark chakara, when did you unlock Mangekyo sharingan!"

"Dead man don't need answers" he answered in a voice with no mercy.

"Don't think just because you have the mangekyo that you have me beaten!" Yuurei hissed as he prepared an attack.

"*smirk* then prove me wrong"

…..

-Sasuke soul conscious-

He was standing on a plateau above the clouds, at night but with no stars. Below him was the world in war, brother against brother, friend against friend, allied now worst enemies.

"Where the hell am I ?"

"That question is reserved for me" a dark but smooth voice said behind him. He turned around to see a dojo temple on ruin and set ablaze, then sitting on the steps was the silouette of a man with a crimson war fan laid next to him connected buy a chain. His menacing red sharigan eyes caught Sasukes eyes immediately. His own sharingan activated on unknown instinct, this man was not a force to let ones guard down around. "So you are a descendant of Uchia blood hmm?"

"Yes aside from my brother…Im the last one"

"What is your name boy?"

"Sasuke"

"I am Madara"

Sasukes eyed widened in shock as he remembered the night in that strange temple. "Madara-dono"he said to show respect to the great uchia "Why exactly are you in my soul"

"It was a jutsu I cast that would seal my soul and power into a whomever found my coffin. But it would only work on a true Uchia heir as I designed, outsiders would be killed immediately by another jutsu I placed"

"Does this mean…I have you power?"

"Correct but not fully, right now you only have acces to my eternal mangekyo sharingan and a small fraction of my chakara. The jutsus you currently know are nothing compared to what im capable, and you also seem to not know the sharingans full capabilities. But I suppose being the last…you said you had a brother?"

"Yeah" he said in a cold loathing tone "Hes the one that slayed the clan"

"I see…."

"What is the eternal mangekyo sharingan?"

Madara chuckled darkly as he looked up at the starless sky "The ultimate sharingan that leads to a even higher power (*cough* *cough* the rinnegan *gets glares* HES NOT GETTING IT NOW! -_-)

-Outside-

Yuurei prepared to launched his jutsu "Katon; Blue Dragons Ember!" he swallowed in a large amount of air and then spewed out a torrent of blue fire toward the dark uchia.

Sasuke jumped to dodge the flames and threw three kunais of toward him. When he dodged the ucia blindsided him with a sudden closline that hurled him tumbling along the ground. When he regained balance Sasuke was already above him.

"You..piss me off"

Yuurei wasted no more words with the uchia shinobi. He launched three kunai towards him laced with chakara which were evaded, exaclty as he planned it. "Raiton; Raiijin Net!" lightning chakara spread out and encased Sasuke im a blinding flash.

Yuurei prepared to finish it " Nows my chance! Katon x Raition x Futon; Emperors…"

"Not on your luck" sasuke cool voice said behind him. He turned and saw the menacing trigram star sharingan gazing darkly at him. He felt his body go stiff and shake madly.

"W-what..WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!" he screamed before he was silenced by a surprise chidori into his chest.

"My name is Sasuke Uchia…that is all you need to know"

….

Watching from the shadows was the fiery redhead who had seperated from her team to search for her target.

"So I finally found the fucker" she grinned as she stealthfully and carefully followed the Uchia back to the chunin exam dome.
