Chapter 4-Exodus Begins
One by one, the boy formerly known as Naruto evolved each of the Shinobi that wished to be further evolved like Haku, and achieve skills beyond measure. Anko had evolved herself using her connection to snakes and infiltrating to become a shape shifter and went by the codenamed Mystique. Kabuto, who had to avoid a brutal beating at the hands of some people for his past affiliation with Orochimaru, also earned the right to evolve, and was also transformed into a shape shifter due to his similar past connection to the snake Sannin. He now went by the codenamed Morph, which suited Kabuto just find since he like his abilities that allowed him to access to places he normally couldn't, and thanked his Master for this opportunity.
As for Ino, her clan's abilities gave her a form of telepathy like Apocalypse, but nowhere near his level (though with training from him could be a force to be reckoned with), and upon further study had the power to turn her entire body into a living diamond. Granted, the downside of this was Ino temporarily had to surrender the use of her mental powers, but it helped when in the middle of an all out close combat fight, and required she use her body to fight her foes instead of her mind. Not really sure what to call herself in terms of a codename, Ino decided on an alias, and called herself Emma Frost. Shino had also gone through the procedure too, as he wanted to see what was in store for his clan should they wish to evolve themselves, and stated that "It is only logical that at least one member of the Aburame Clan attempts this, and since I am the only one here I nominate myself for the procedure" before Apocalypse did it.
With surprising results.
Due to Shino's connection with bugs due to his clan bloodline, he obtained the abilities of them in terms of a spider, and acquired their traits from agility to shooting webbing from his wrist. He could lift heavy objects with Tsunade like strength, cling to walls, and had also developed a "spider sense" that would alert him of danger aimed at him. At the same time, the insects in his body did not leave, and wished to continue being with Shino since they did not wish to lose their colony within his body.
Lee was using his new found ability of going super fast like there was no tomorrow, as he used in training with gravity seals on, and he would go even faster if they were taken off. His hair change was a surprise too, but Lee didn't mind even if it no longer bowl shaped, and felt that it seemed...right to the boy.
What came as a surprise to Apocalypse was Choji actually wanted to go through with the procedure himself and see just what it would do for him should his family wish to try. The fox vessel was hesitant to put Choji through this because it could make him evolve into something extremely fat and didn't want to make it an issue for the boy. However, Choji insisted, and told him to do it.
The results were strange to say the least.
Apparently, because of Choji's clan abilities, the former Leaf Shinobi could change his body into one of an unstoppable force, or an immoveable object that would be just what Apocalypse believed he would become. So, Choji gave himself two code names Blob, and Juggernaut (for each form) before thanking his friend for this opportunity.
As for everyone else, they felt they weren't ready to be put through the procedure, which the young Master of Magnetism along with several other powers behind the procedure just told them it was all right, and reminded them it was merely a simple matter of choice. When the time came, if there was on of course, they would go through with it, and seek him out. However, Apocalypse explained that not everyone can evolve like those that did because they were at their primed evolved state with their abilities, and/or bloodlines.
"What do you plan to do next Apocalypse-sama?" said Haku, as she stood beside him in his private office (after getting his permission to enter first), and saw him looking over a large map of the Elemental Countries.
"Tell me Haku-chan, what do you see here on this map?" said Apocalypse, as he felt he could trust her, and knew Haku's devotion to him was unflinching.
"The Elemental Countries and the Shinobi villages that inhabit them for those that have them," said Haku, as she studies the map carefully, and looks like any ordinary map.
"Correct. Now with word getting out of my return and the eventual plan I wish to set in motion for people like us everywhere...do you believe any of these area on the map will allow us to live there without question?" said Apocalypse, as he saw Haku go deep in thought, and shake her head no at his answer.
"No Apocalypse-sama. They will see us as a threat and seek to destroy us any chance they get," said Haku, as she saw him turn to her, and smiled behind his helmet.
"Correct. So the question for you now is...how do we live in the Elemental Countries when there is no safe place to live?" said Apocalypse, as he saw Haku frown in thought, and knew that she couldn't think of an answer.
"I do not know Apocalypse-sama. I do not think its possible," said Haku, as she saw him just smile further before turning to face her, and saw the slowly forming blush appearing on her face.
"What if I told you there was once an island that here between Wave Country, the borders of Fire Country along their seaboard, and Water Country? What if I told you that in this very spot buried underwater, is an island no longer on the map, and was what was once known as Whirlpool Country? That I could raise the island from the ocean depths, which consumed it after one of Kyuubi's tails created a Tsunami that wiped it out, and forced it deep underwater," said Apocalypse, as he saw Haku's eyes widen, and knew she couldn't believe such news to be possible.
"I did tell you I was sorry about that," said Kyuubi, as he wasn't fully to blame for that since he was under the control of Madara, and the jerk had a grudge against all Shinobi villages.
"Can you truly raise it from the ground Apocalypse-sama?" said Haku, as even she did not believe that it was possible to raise such a place out of the ground, and while she did not doubt her Master...it begged the question of his sanity turning to insanity.
"Of course. It will drain me afterwards so do not be surprised when I collapse from the strain," said Apocalypse, as he put a piece of paper with the Whirlpool Country symbol on it where the island would have been on the map.
"I will do all that is within my newly evolved powers you gave me to help you while you raise Whirlpool Country from the ground Apocalypse-sama," said Haku, as she knew that in his weakened state, it could prompt his enemies to seek him out, and use what might be their only opportunity to kill him.
"I know Haku-chan and thank you for your support in this. And for the record, Whirlpool Country is going to be renamed into something new, and will be a symbol for everyone unlawfully wronged by the world to seek sanctuary on my island," said Apocalypse, as he saw Haku raised an eyebrow in curiosity, and knew she wanted to ask him a question.
"What will the island be renamed then Apocalypse-sama?" said Haku, as she saw the boy smile a half devious half roguish smile, and saw ambition burning within his eyes.
"Genosha. That will be its name. It will be the sanctuary for the wronged, the innocent, and the discriminated people of the world," said Apocalypse, as he was going to do all that his powers allowed him to do, and bring his dream to a reality.
And after Genosha was raised, he would focus on his kin next that needed to be saved from the other people within the Elemental Countries, and would result in the young boy teaching his enemies one final lesson. The young Namikaze Heir was going to make them remember before their deaths not to upset a Namikaze Clan member. If the fools thought his Father was bad when enraged during the last Shinobi war, just wait until they deal with Namikaze Minato's son, and unleash the true meaning of pain.
(Unknown Location-At the Moment)
"So our information was accurate and the Kyuubi vessel is indeed alive," said Pein, as he stood before eight other people, and saw them now listening intently to the information they have gathered.
It had been roughly 12 years since the Akatsuki organization had been formed with the desire to capture all the tailed demons in order to use them in this statue to be the ultimate weapon in their hands (of supposed immortal beings) and end war forever. Of course that was the official ideal of the organization, but the real reason was known to one Uchiha Madara working from the shadows to acquire all the beasts to form the ten tailed beasts before possessing its body, and then casting the ultimate Tsukuyomi on the world with him ruling over it like a God.
And being an Uchiha, it was Madara's beliefs that anything less then Godhood wasn't worth taking unless it was the real thing, and felt he deserved.
"Yes. Turns out he did quite a number on the Leaf and Fire Country as a whole. Turns out the village screwed him and his old man the Yondaime over before going off the map. Now at the Chuunin Exams, the kid comes back, renames himself Apocalypse, and unleashes the most vicious psychic attack in the history of the Elemental Countries," said Kisame, as he sees everyone around the room looking impressed by such an attack, and that it was done by someone so young.
"He also read Orochimaru's mind and performed a Forbidden Jutsu that would bring back people from the dead with the end result bringing the Yondaime back to life," said Itachi, as he saw everyone stiffen at that, and knew that if the Yellow Flash was back then things were going to get difficult in getting the man's son.
"Even more disturbing was the Sandaime was in on the gaki's abuse to make him more submissive to the village. Rumor has it, the Kyuubi vessel paid the old Kage a visit later on, and tore the man to pieces. Not only that, but the gaki's Mother is alive, and had been the victim of torture at the hands of Danzo," said Kisame, as he saw the other members murmuring now, and looking a bit fidgety.
"I take it the boy was exactly jumping with joy when he learned of this," said Pein, as he saw Itachi, and Kisame shake their heads no.
"He tore through that place like a bat out of Hell and causing a shit load of damage in the process. We snuck into the village to look at the damage the kid did and trust me when I tell you the Kyuubi vessel has anger issues," said Kisame, as he had seen the path of the destruction, and death Naruto created to get to his Mother.
If he wasn't so terrified of the brat, Kisame would be envious, and request that the boy be offered a job.
"Any idea where he is now?" said Pein, as he knew that locating the Kyuubi vessel was a priority now, and couldn't risk losing him a second time.
"We lost his trail Pein-sama. He threw off any trail his chakra makes by throwing out a massive electromagnetic discharge. It disrupted my Sharingan so I couldn't follow," said Itachi, as he felt his eyes hurting when they tried to follow from Konoha, and lost him halfway to any Elemental Country that was North of Fire Country.
"This is most disturbing. Fortunately, we don't need him right way so we will ignore the Kyuubi vessel within reason, and go after the others," said Pein, as he saw the others nod, and they left to focus on their respected sealed vessels.
(Wave Country-At the Moment)
Apocalypse was on a beachhead within Wave Country with a port for shipping being on this particular spot, which was what he wanted, and paid heavily to buy a transport class ship named "The River Styx" to take out to see. With him was Haku, Kabuto, Hinata, Tsunade, Kurenai, Anko, Ino, Shino, Lee, and Shikamaru on the boat he was steered by Kabuto transformed into an unknown ship Captain to keep a low profile.
After a few hours, Apocalypse mentally commanded Kabuto to shut down the ship, and walked to front of the vessel with the others behind him watching him stare out into the empty ocean. Ino was told to walk closer to his position on the ship to catch him for the off chance he fell from overtaxing himself before he began to ascend to the skies above, and used his psychic powers to in combination of his magnetic powers to begin the very difficult process of raising his Mother's homeland from the ocean depths.
"Do you think he can do this?" said Tsunade, as she saw the boy hovering over the ocean, and saw it was beginning to make waves with something slowly rising.
"I don't know. When he first told everyone what he was going to do, I was skeptical, but after seeing what I have seen with Kyuubi, the fact Kushina being alive, and the gaki's powers...I think Naruto can," said Kurenai, as she knew the boy was not a monster, but nearly turned into one by so many people, and wished to make things in the world right.
"Nothing can stop Apocalypse-sama. He's on a mission an no one is going to stand in his way," said Haku, as she saw the water ripping wildly, and knew her Master was going to do it.
And Apocalypse did just that, as he let out a great roar, and used all the power within his body to raise the lost island that was Whirlpool Country from the ocean depths. Once he stabilized its position in the water, the young demon vessel released his hold on both his magnetic, and psychic powers to find himself blacking out while falling down to ship below.
Seeing his descent, Ino instantly used her newly acquired physic powers to slow down Apocalypse's fall, but could only hold him for a few seconds upon stopping his fall, and Haku transforming into her new ice form before going up to catch him after making a bridge of ice to get there. Taking him down to Tsunade, Haku let the Slug Princess look him over with a critical eye, and found the boy was dangerously overexerted his powers to raise his utopia from the ground. The Namikaze Heir would require bed rest for well over a week, but that was it, and was for the moment in a disabled state.
Haku instantly nominated herself as Apocalypse's personal nurse to help in his recovery, as she had been so before with Zabuza before his death, and had no problem taking up that position once more. As Tsunade took Naruto down deeper into the ships interior with Haku beside her, the others looked at the massive island the boy had unleashed upon the world, and suddenly realized a valuable part of the Namikaze Heir's plan.
Naruto was planning an exodus of every wronged, persecuted, shunned, and oppressed person residing in the Elemental Countries, and bring them to this island to create a place where they could be free.
All was left was to let the world know of its existence.
(1 Week, 3 Days, and 8 Hours Later)
The boy, who would one day be a man, and called himself Apocalypse awoke to find he was in the medical bay of the ship. Apocalypse rose from his bed to find he was wearing a hospital gown, as he had his clothing removed so it would let him rest, and give his Godmother Tsunade a chance to do her own medical checkup on her Godson while he recovered.
Rising from his bed, the boy used his magnetic powers to summon his clothing weaved in metallic fabric to cover his body once more, and his helmet that covered his spiky semi-animalistic hair. Walking out of the room, he saw the Haku was walking toward his room with a tray of food, and was happy to see him moving around under his own power.
"Apocalypse-sama, I am happy you are feeling better," said Haku, as she bowed her head, and hoped she had done an exceptional job in being his bedside nurse.
"I am. Thank you Haku-chan. Please follow me and bring the food too. I feel like eating outside today while watching the ocean and with company," said Apocalypse, as he saw Haku blush, and walk beside him to deck of the ship.
When they reached the deck, the boy saw the others were relaxing with Choji eating all he could eat from the fridge, Kabuto still being in his Captain form, and Shino felt that he should test his mental skills against Shikamaru in Shogi. Lee was using his speed to zip around training, as Ino, Tsunade, Kurenai, and Anko were getting in a little sun bathing done. Hinata was there too, but she was covered up more then they were, and scrambled to cover herself more when she saw Apocalypse make his way over towards them with Haku.
"Hey, there's my favorite Godson!" said Tsunade, as she took off her sunglasses, and saw the boy she had lost 12 years in raising walking towards them with a smile on his face.
For once, the cold fury that once filled those blue eyes was gone, and they held a warmth in them that made the females before him blush heavily from it.
"Tsunade-san, you know I'm your only Godson, but thank you all the same, and I do hope you are enjoying yourselves," said Apocalypse, as he saw them nodding, and Anko doing a bit of sexy posing for him before Kurenai glared at her to stop it.
"Of course. Though in all seriousness, how are you doing Naruto-kun?" said Tsunade, as she saw him flinch at her name for him since he never did like it for obvious reasons, and look out to where the island was before smiling.
"Better. All is left now is to relocate everything within my base of operations to the island and then begin contacting others to head to my sanctuary," said Apocalypse, as he looked at the island off in the distance, and could see it now being the paradise he knew it would be under his young guiding hand.
"How are you going to do that?" said Ino, as she had been curious herself about the boy's plans, and saw the smirk that now was on Apocalypse's face.
"The same way I attacked Fire Country Ino-chan, only without the pain, and begging for death part," said Apocalypse, as he let out a small chuckle, and then turned to Hinata now wrapping the towel tighter around her form while blushing at his approach.
Sitting down in a chair beside her, Apocalypse motioned for Haku to sit in the chair next to him, and used his powers to take the tray of food out of her hands to place on his lap. All the while, Hinata was nervous that the towel she had to cover her body would (in some unexplained way) fly off to reveal her two piece bathing suit (acquired thanks to Anko by means unknown), and reveal her form to him.
"You look nervous Hinata-chan. Why is that?" said Apocalypse, as he saw the Hyuuga girl blush further, and wrap the towel around her form further while acting like a shy turtle.
"N-No reason!" said Hinata, as she blushed further when she remembered how her crush could read her mind, and let out an "eep!" before looking away embarrassed.
"Hinata-chan, you know that's not true, and if you don't reveal what's beyond the robe...I will have to remove it from you," said Apocalypse, as he saw her looking even more scared, and shy in a cute way that made him laugh.
"You don't have to keep teasing poor Hinata," said Kurenai, as she saw her student in trouble, and yet felt powerless to stop it.
"Perhaps. But it is for her own good," said Apocalypse, as he uses his psychic powers to remove the long towel to reveal the two piece Hinata was wearing, and made every male on the ship look at her with the utmost surprise.
"Please don't look Naruto-kun. I'm ugly," said Hinata, as she tried to cover up her form somehow, and saw her crush get out of his seat before standing right in front of her.
"Says who? Hinata-chan, you have no reason to hide that figure of yours, and can be proud of the body you have because its one with incredible strength behind it just waiting to be unleashed," said Apocalypse, as he saw the girl now go full body blush, and faint in his arms.
"Pay up! I called it!" said Anko, as she stretched out her hand for the money Tsunade owed her, and the Sannin put the money in her hands before half of it flew out of it to relocate in Naruto's right.
"This is my cut from your little bet," said Apocalypse, as he put the Hyuuga girl back in her chair, and covered her with a towel to keep the other males on the ship from eyeing her defenseless form.
"She really likes you Naruto," said Ino, as she didn't need to read Hinata's mind to know what it was that went on through it, and how much the Hyuuga Heiress wanted the young Master of Magnetism.
"I know. I just want the poor girl to grow out of her shell. Hinata has lots of potential and I intend to bring it out in my own way," said Apocalypse, as he sat back down, and began eating his meal Haku prepared for him while turning his full attention to her now.
"Is the meal adequate to your liking Apocalypse-sama?" said Haku, as she saw him take a bite of sushi she had prepared for him, and saw him close his eyes for a moment before slowly opening them back up.
"Very nice Haku-chan. Truly food that is also a work of art," said Apocalypse, as he saw Haku blush, and loved the praise he gave her.
'He better not break Hinata's art,' thought Kurenai, as she looked at the boy acting more like a boy now, then he did days ago, and wasn't out to destroy the Leaf.
"Kurenai-san, I wouldn't dream of hurting Hinata-chan, and for your information I fall under the laws of every Shinobi village in terms of the Clan Restoration Act," said a now smiling Apocalypse, as he saw Kurenai blush in embarrassment at having her mind read, and then glared at him for it.
"Really? Can I join?" said Anko, as she was smiling devilishly at him, and got shocked looks at the others around them.
"Anko! He's several years your junior for Kami's sake," said Kurenai, as she saw Anko pout at her, and then gave the young Namikaze her sexiest smile.
"So? Age doesn't matter in the Shinobi world or in terms of clans for that matter. Besides, Naruto-kun got the short end of the stick when he's was a kid, and so did I when I came back to Konoha for being the Hebi-teme's former apprentice," said Anko, as she winked at Apocalypse, who smirked at her, and saw Haku turning slightly to glare at the older woman.
"You bring up a few good points there Anko-chan. Tell you what, I will go on a date with you if you help with getting Hinata-chan out of her shell, and help her get stronger," said Apocalypse, as he saw Anko nod her head vigorously, and saying they had a deal.
Poor poor Hinata.
"When do we return back? I mean the others must be worried about us," said Lee, as he knew he could easily zip from the boat to their temporary home on land, and let everyone know what was going on.
"No need. I telepathically contacted them and they know what I've done. My Mother is currently crying tears of joy at having her homeland above the ocean floor," said a now crying Apoc-no Namikaze Naruto, as he could stop being that person for this single moment, and being a simple boy with a Mother getting the best gift any son could give their Mother.
In a way, his Mother needed this more then he did, and Naruto wasn't going to mind it in the slightest.
Soon, the greatest exodus in all mankind would begin, and then the cancerous element that plagued it would be destroyed!
(YAY! I updated. How do you like it? I hope it was to your liking. I don't know where Whirlpool is located on the map of the Elemental Countries, but for the sake of this fic, let's say it is not connected to any of the other Elemental Countries, and is an island onto itself. Until next time...PEACE!!!)
