As Team7 was headed to their destination, the Land of Waves, Sasori started starring off into space remembering the fateful day 14 years ago. Specifically three months after October 10th.

Flashback!

Madara and his group of Dragon Priests, Halflings, and 5 dragons had spent the last three months healing any serious injuries and traveling back to the Land of the Dragons. The Land of the Dragons use to be a strong military force. In fact the Land of the Dragons had formed the first Hidden Village, The Village Hidden by Fire. After the First Great Shinobi War the village degraded into nothing, but politics and religion. Eventually the village was lost to history and people told the new generations of how Kumo was the first hidden village. Now rumors started spreading around the land about a mysterious village miles away from Uzushiogakure, where people went in but never came out. So with a growing curiosity Madara, during the Second Great Shinobi War, influenced several hidden villages to destroy the Uzumaki clan. Unfortunately that plan failed, but it allowed him to slip through and investigate the mysterious village. This took a few years, but after rediscovering lost nations Madara had finally found the first hidden village. This discovery also allowed him to find out how to become even more powerful.

While the voyage to and from Konoha took a few months, it was well worth it when Madara came upon the sight of the Kyuubi being held captive by some of the dragon priests that stayed behind to run the village. It excited him that while the Kyuubi originally slipped through his fingers, he now had the key to great power along side his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He would be unstoppable and he could crush Konoha once and for all.

Time skip: A few hours.

Madara now lay shirtless with dragon blood-painted seals all over his body and intermingling with the seal holding the Kyuubi. Surrounding him was dragon bone power forming an eight point star encompassed by a circle inside of a square of his blood. The layout allowed any kekkei genkai he had to be transferred to his new body, but because of him possessing the First Hokage's DNA and the Sharingan. The success rate of the normal ritual was 5% and that was only because a normal ritual required at least two priests. Except this wasn't a normal ritual in fact it required all of the villages priests, accolades, two Halflings, and a dragon to be present even then it was a 50-50 shot.

Knowing the odds Madara still pushed for it to be down. Currently the accolades and the two Halflings were canting something language that sounded like jibberish to Madara. It was like this for hours occasionally the seals would light up and start burning. Then there was the factor of a pissed of Nine-tailed demon fox trying to take over. He only had the damn fox sealed in him to allow him as a grown adult to become a Halfling. Though he would have to grow up again from baby to adult, but it was a small price to pay for the power he would soon receive.

Time skip: A few more hours.

As Madara's bored mind was once again woken up from the seals burning sensation for what seem like the billionth time. He noticed they changed from the red glow from the blood to a black and red glow. It seemed that every few seconds the seals would change to the opposite color. All of a sudden Madara's body was consumed by a bright light and soon the seal on the floor vanished inside of the light and a tiny orange sphere flew out of the light and disappeared from sight. After the light died down it revealed a baby Madara who was radiating a black and red aura until his baby form absorbed it inside of itself.

(Same thing happened to Naruto except he had gold and red aura and his ritual was a lot shorter since he was already a baby.)

Time skip: 6 years later.

Madara had reunlocked his Sharingan and had fully mastered the Interceptor Taijutsu techniques along with fully mastering the third tomoe. He was currently working on his chakra control. Apparently the ritual gave the recipient huge chakra reserves, but someone screwed up a seal and it transferred his original reserves and doubled them. His reserves were on par with a chunin ranked Uzumaki. While he loved the ample chakra it was annoying to overpower simple techniques he knew before. Of course he only knew that thanks to the diary he kept that held all his memories, known jutsus, and new jutsu ideas he had over the years. He decided to do the same thing with a new diary so he could keep a recorded of his new life.

For six years he was cared for by the community and trained by the dragons. After a while he started to regret the stunt he pulled during his small invasion of Konoha. He could only imagine the pain the unknown boy was going through.

Time skip: 7 and a half years later.

Madara had finally mastered chakra control to the point where not even a dragon could sense him. He also mastered his jutsu list from his previous life and mastered the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Wood Release, and the first three paths of the Rinnegan. He had discovered it when he was dominating his dragon half. Madara also delved into fuinjutsu, expanding his elemental jutsu list in the other four elements, along with mastering the normal dragon release jutsus. Normal dragon release jutsus were jutsus that all dragons and Halflings could learn. They were the foundation to special dragon release jutsus and transformations.

Currently he was headed back towards Konoha to proceed to infiltrate the village he at one time helped to create now he is preparing to destroy the damned place. Madara, while opting to keep his hair style from when he was a child the first time; instead of wearing his old samurai armor he had a decided to start out with a fresh style for a new life. He wore a gray shirt with mesh armor underneath. Over it he had a black armor jacket, the armor was sewn in between the fabric of the jacket giving it a bulky appearance and it had plenty of hidden packets for scrolls or quick access weapons/tools. He also wore black cargo pants were he hid his sealing equipment. Madara who still loved the color red wore a red bandana with black skulls on it.

Madara was known as a man of little words now as he was always planning and evaluating. This is why he chose to rise through the ninja ranks in Konoha. While it appeared that he hated Konoha that was false he loved the village he created in his first life. He found Konoha to be to corrupt and it was only a matter of time before that corruption destroyed it. All it would take was a single shove to crush Konoha. He also heard of an unknown Uchiha roaming around masquerading as the 'real' Madara Uchiha. All that could be found out was this man was he is a real Uchiha, but uses the alias of Tobi on people he didn't want to know the 'real' him. He apparently was the Mastermind behind the Akatsuki a dangerous organization bent on capturing the Biju or Tailed Beasts. One or two Biju was fine it was the fact they wanted all the Biju that worried him.

Like Jiraiya the Toad Sage, Madara had set up a spy network all over the Elemental Nations to keep an eye on things. Especially Naruto who Madara planned on sparing when he destroyed the corrupt Konoha, along with a few others and the Uchiha as long as they didn't interfere with his plans. After walking for a few hours Madara finally ended his three month long journey to Konoha.

-Hokage Tower-

Madara had entered Konoha under the alias of Sasori. He thought it was a nice name when he heard of the new Akatsuki member by that name. Of course after checking the Bingo Book he was led to the Hokage to receive entry into Ninja Ranks. Currently the Yondaime was checking the paperwork Madara had conveniently had made up labeling him as Sasori Urahara. Another name he plucked off of something he read except this time it was a manga. A hobby got into collecting the manga books back when he lived with dragons. He ended up sealing all of his manga in an indestructible scroll since the dragons sneezed fire on his house every time they got sick. Cost him a fortune to rebuild from all the damage.

"Alright Sasori everything checks out. All we need to do now is test out your abilities and assign you a rank accordingly. I'll call my best chunin Iruka Umino to test you in combat."

'Great a chunin I'll have to hold back even more to avoid suspicion. Maybe I can get a training mission at some point. I'll just say I trained really hard.'

Shortly Iruka arrived and they all left to find a training field to test Sasori out at.

Time skip: 3 Hours Later.

"Fire Style: Fireball Flare!"

"Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!"

The two techniques collided creating a thick smokescreen. Sasori was exhausted from holding back and almost slipped up on his act. On top of that Sasori was getting pummeled just to keep up appearances as to not blow his cover. The Yondaime at first suspected something, but gave up after the first major beat down. Finally the Yondaime halted the match and dismissed Iruka. "That was amusing."

"You're not the one who got his ass handed to him again and again."

"Well you've earned the rank of genin."

'GENIN! I WANTED AT LEAST CHUNIN!'

"Very well Lord Hokage."

"Here is your headband. Welcome to Konoha fellow Leaf Shinobi."
