Moonlight Fox: Rebirth by Fire
Chapter 4:Planetary power unleashed? Resurrection of the senshi's power? Part 2
Sai, Kakashi, Yamato and Naruto where in a tent, Sai was bandaging Naruto due to all the bruises and wounds.
"Maybe Sakura should have a look at you" Sai offered
"No... I don't wish to burden her any more than I have to" Naruto said "Besides, I heal quick so is okay"
He sighed "Sai... I'm sorry... and thanks" Naruto said putting his hand on Sai's shoulders
Sai then gave him a real genuine smile
"No problem" he said
"They really did a number on you" Kakashi said
"Hehehee" Naruto chuckled sheepishly
Kakashi was told by Sai on what happened... and Kakashi remembered his conversation with Sai.
Flashback
"Kakashi... is the bond that Naruto and Sakura have with Sasuke really that important? Even if it causes them so much pain? Why do they still care...?" Sai asked
Kakashi was deep in thought "Sai... you're supposed to keep an eye on Naruto, right?" Kakashi said
"Uh! I..." Sai said
"It's ok... I know... but helping Naruto like that isn't part of your job, right? I think you know why, Sai... even if you still don't realize it" Kakashi said
"You'd better rest for a while..." Kakashi said
"I have to see the Raikage" Naruto said shocking both Yamato and Kakashi.
"What'll you do when you see him?" Kakashi said
"They'll be holding the conference soon! Every village has placed restrictions on missions and leaving the village!" Yamato said
"I... am going to convince him to forgive Sasuke" Naruto said with a cocky smile
"You don't even have the seal anymore! As the host, you shouldn't even be allowed to leave the village! Besides in the last battle you went up all the way up to 8 tails! You are lucky the seal worked and held the fox back... but what about next time?" Yamato said "and I have to help rebuild the village! I can't be with you at all times"
"I met the yondaime..." Naruto said. This confussed Sai, but shocked Kakashi and Yamato.
"He's the one who stopped me from going 9 tails" Naruto said
"Wh...what do you mean? The yondaime is..." yamato said
"Not much is known about the shiki fujin technique. He must have put some of his chakra inside Naruto in the end" Kakashi offered as a plausible explanation
"... He told me, the guy with the mask from Akatsuki was behind the fox attack 16 years ago! And he was so strong not even the 4th could do anything against him" Naruto said
Kakashi remembered that man... Tobi as he called himself
"He said that guy's behind everything! He was just using Pain, if Sasuke joined Akatsuki too, is more than likely he is manipulating him as well" Naruto said
"Is just as Jiraiya feared... that's... who was behind the attack 16 years ago, he had the sharingan, Madara is the only Uchiha missing-nin who hated Konoha that much and had the power to control the fox" Kakashi said
"When it comes to Madara...I could believe just about everything...even that he was still alive" Yamato said
"Madara... I remember that name" Naruto thought as he had a flashback
"Those eyes... and that foul chakra... just like Uchiha Madara" Kyuubi said to Sasuke
"Who IS Madara?" Naruto asked
"The former leader of the Uchiha clan, who's said to have been defeated by the first hokage." Kakashi said.
"We have to tell the elders... Sai!" Kakashi said
the young turned to Kakashi "Yes?"
"You tell the hokage" Kakashi said
"oh...ok" Sai said
"Naruto... what did the 4th tell you?" Kakashi asked
Naruto was confused at the question.
"Father's usually have things to say to their sons" Kakashi said
"!" Naruto smiled
"He said... he had faith in me" Naruto said with a bright smile
Kakashi smiled "Great! You go after Raikage! Well, Yamato and I will go with you" Kakashi clarified
"EH!" Yamato yelled... once more he got roped with something troublesome.
Naruto got dressed and he got out of the tent, half is face was covered in bandages, the right side to be precise, he only had limited vision, kinda like Kakashi.
"Ok! All set!" Naruto said as he put his headband
Kakashi and Sai where somewhere else
"When you report to the Hokage, don't tell him Naruto's gone. Tell him he has not made a move yet" Kakashi said
"You... still don't trust me" Sai said a bit hurt
"Danzo sent you to spy on Naruto" Kakashi said, Sai looked a bit dejected... he was beginning to question his loyalty to Danzo... he was beginning to see Naruto as a person rather than a "target"
"But... you are also part of team 7" Kakashi said
This surprised Sai
"I have faith in you" Kakashi said smiling
Sai blinked
"He said... he had faith in me"Naruto said with a smile
"What... is this feeling?" Sai thought as he felt something warm in his heart.
"see ya" Kakashi said as he vanished
Sai smiled, he felt... for a very long time, happy.
Some where else
Naruto and Konohamaru both walked towards to each other... both of them had a serious look on their face, you could feel the tension in the air
two ROOT ninjas where spying on Naruto as per Danzo's orders
"What's going on?" said one
"I don't know, what are they doing?" said the other
"Orioke no jutsu!" both Naruto and Konohamaru said
this took the two ROOT ninja by surprise, they heard about this legendary jutsu...
However Kakashi popped out of nowhere and revealed his Sharingan.
The two ninjas feel to the ground
"Dream of Naruto for a while, where you curious about the Orioke no Jutsu...? sorry" Kakashi said
"Looks like ROOT doesn't trust Sai much anymore" Kakashi thought
"damn... yours was by far better!" Konohamaru said
"hey... I heard what you did, you used the rasengan on Pain, right!" Naruto said with a smile
"Good job Konohamaru! You're a hero too" Naruto said as he pat him
Konohamaru laughed and she a tiny tear of joy
"You're a faster learner than me! Next time I'll show you how to make an even bigger one!" Naruto said as he dashed off
Kakashi smiled... Naruto was growing so much.
Konoha's library
As the foreign kumo ninja left to meet the Raikage Yamato let a seed fall... with it he would track em
"Sorry... but I put a tracer on you, I may not look like it but I'm a good tracker... now to let Kakashi and Naruto know" Yamato thought...
With the real Yamato, with Kakashi and Naruto
"Well... let's get tracking" Yamato said
"OSU!" Naruto said, he was pumped
As they progressed the weather turned into a winter wonderland
Naruto sneesed
"SHH! We need to remain undetected!" Yamato said in a hushed tone
With the Raikage
One of them detected something
"Raikage, there's Samui's squad" said the fair skinned woman
they jumped down to intercept them
"We have returned from Konohagakure" Samui said
"How did it go?" the Raikage asked
"Samui... someone followed you" the girl said
"Come out Konoha Dog's" said the girl
Naruto jumped out followed with Kakashi and Yamato each at his left and right
"you're not bad if you where able to track Samui" said the girl
"DAMN IT, NARUTO, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Karui yelled in annoyance
"Y... you!" Oroi said
"Boss... that's Hatake Kakashi... the one on the right" said the other man
"I know! Did the Hokage send you, Hatake Kakashi!" he said
"No... we have a favor to ask you, Uzumaki Naruto of Konohagakure wishes to speak with you. Please, listen to him" Kakashi said
"Don't you think that's a little rude? You didn't ask ahead for an audience, and we're on our way to the meeting" the woman said
"I am aware of that and I apologize for my rudeness... however this was the only chance I could have to leave the village to speak with your leader" Naruto said
"all right... that kid there right? Spit it out!" Raikage said
He closed his eyes and said it out "I want you to please stop hunting for Sasuke... in other words, I kindly ask you... to stop Sasuke's execution" Naruto said
"h... hey... you came all this way for that?" Oroi said
"Are you still on about that!" Kamui said annoyed
"I know... Is a lot to ask... but I have to try, Sasuke is my friend... sure the bastard and I never got along well... but he is still my friend damn it... I can't just sit back and watch him get killed" Naruto said " I also... I don't want to have my friend be the cause of a war between Kumo and Konoha, I don't wish for either one to get caught up in revenge" Naruto said
"Let's go" Raikage said
Naruto got to his knees
"I'M BEGGING YOU! I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE GETTING KILLED FOR REVENGE! ALL THAT IDIOT EVER THOUGHT WAS ABOUT REVENGE...IT CONSUMED HIM, IT CHANGED HIM... IT WARPED HIM... HE'S NO LONGER THE SAME BASTARD I KNEW ANYMORE... I DON'T WISH FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE! I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO END UP KILLING EACH OTHER FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!...so please..." Naruto said as he begun to sob... feeling angry and frustrated that he was so sure and felt so strongly...yet he could not find any eloquent way to put his thoughts into words
Raikage looked up ahead "I will kill Sasuke, It's up to you to make sure it stops there!" he said never once looking at him
"When you went after the Hyuuga's Byakugan, Konoha never did anything to retaliate, your actions could have provoked a war, instead... we swallowed our bloody tears in order to prevent that" Yamato said "Don't forget that you exist because of our precious sacrifices"
"... this young ninja here may not be skilled in this, but he is begging you for the sake of both Kumo and Konoha... as Raikage... as one of the Kages, what is your opinion on this?" Kakashi asked
"A NINJA SHOULD NOT BE SO QUICK TO BOW BEFORE ANOTHER! NINJA'S RESPECT ACTIONS AND STRENGHT! THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPROMISE BETWEEN NINJAS! THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE IS THE HISTORY OF WAR! EVER SINCE THE GREAT NINJA WARS... EVERY COUNTRY! EVERY VILLAGE... HAS FOUGHT FOR THE STRONGEST TECHNIQUES THE WEAK WILL BE CRUSHED! THAT IS THE INESCAPABLE TRUTH OF THIS WORLD!" Raikage said "Akatsuki will be internationally wanted criminals, the whole will be after them, not just me. You beg for mercy for a criminal, for the safety of your friends... IN THE NINJA WORLD, WE DO NOT CALL THAT FRIENDSHIP!" Kid... think about what you must do! You won't get far in the ninja world if you keep acting stupidly!" raikage said as he begun to walk away
"Naruto, that's enough... get up" Kakashi said
The raikage turned back to catch a glance of the boy
In Konoha
"Excuse me" said a voice
the person entered to the tent
"Sai?" Sakura said
"Sakura... I need to talk to you" Sai said
Iron Country
The meeting started... all the kages put their respective hats in the table
"My name is Mifune, I will be your moderator, the meeting will begin now" Mifune said as he looked about
Back on Konoha
"He...what...!" Sakura said shocked
"yeah... he was protecting Sasuke, she beat him up... but he still didn't sell him out" Sai said "And... he told me to not tell you this... because he did not want to burden you any further"
"Naruto..." Sakura thought
"He went to the Raikage to ask him to forgive Sasuke... it's probably useless though" Sai said
"however... Kakashi has faith in Naruto, I think he wanted to give him a chance even if it was useless" Said said "I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I don't really know everything that's going on... I also don't understand people, either" Sai said "And I don't know what promises he made to you..." Sai said
Sakura looked at him... his fists where shaking
"But...EVEN I CAN TELL... HE CARES FOR YOU!" Sai said
"I know you love Sasuke..." Naruto said to her back in the days
a small tear begun to form on her eye... "I know how much you are suffering right now... I feel it too" Naruto said to her as well... she was remembering those times... the times Naruto said those things and it came back... hunting her
" I swear I'll bring him back! I promise!" the tear begun to form and run down her face "... SAKURA~! I... I SWEAR I'LL KEEP MY PROMISE... I AM NOT GOING BACK ON MY WORD! THAT IS MY NINDO!"
She begun to cry
"Naruto's been shouldering that promise for a long time... I think he will shoulder it for the rest f his natural life... I don't know what you said to him... but it's like what's been done to me... is like a binding curse..." Sai said
Sakura was shocked... she looked pitiful... she along with Sasuke... where the ones that caused so much pain...
"Sasuke causes Naruto pain... but in a way... you are even worse" Sai said
Sakura couldn't move... is like time stopped... her tears flowed tough her mind couldn't order anything to her body... her arms fell into the floor...
Has she really chained Naruto with that promise? Is that also his major source of pain?
"Naruto is not doing this only because he promise to Sakura... he wants to save Sasuke himself, too" Shizune said
"of course,I think so too" Sai said "But... Sakura and I... everyone relies too much on him... lately when I look at Naruto I been able to feel it... his sadness... and when he thinks of Sasuke... there's a heat coming from his gut... and I know is anger" Sai said
"For Naruto and Konoha's sake we need to do something ourselves instead of only relying on him. Sasuke is..." Sai said but was interrupted
"Sai's right" Shikamaru said as he entered into the tent
"Shikamaru..." Shizune said
Sakura rose up, her head was looking down
"We're not kids anymore... we will stop Akatsuki and... we will stop Sasuke... I am here to get permission from team 7" Shikamaru said
"Permission...you mean...!" Shizune said
"That's right... we can't let war break up between Konohagakure and Kumogakure because of Sasuke, this may be indirect but please... bear with me, if kumogakure kills Sasuke, you and Ino... and Naruto won't stand for it. And if you get killed, me and Chouji and Inoichi and your parents will want revenge as well... then it will break out into a big war... according to the messengers of Kumo... Sasuke is already being treated as an international criminal, if Sasuke keeps working with Akatsuki, the hatred towards him will only increase... think we need to take care of Sasuke ourselves... you get what I am saying Sakura?" Shikamaru said
"That's why... I come to ask your permission" Shikamaru said, Sakura shed her tears
"Shikamaru..." she said
Shikamaru closed his eyes, he felt bad about this
"Please... don't say don't say anything more..." Sakura said
Back with Naruto
Naruto was resting as he saw the spirits of the princesses... he knew WHAT they where... but still he did not know who they WHERE/ARE... it irritated him... he feel bad... but then another thought came to his mind...
"Sasuke... where are you now...? what are you thinking? Are you thinking of Sakura, me and Kakashi... even a little?" Naruto though as he rolled over "You defeated your brother... you got your revenge... do you feel better? Or it just got worse? Sasuke why haven't you come back to Konoha?"Naruto mussed
"Has hatred really eaten you up? Have you become more than a common criminal... Sasuke... please... don't let it be so... don't make me a liar... and having me have to kill you to save you" Naruto prayed as the spirits of the queen and princesses surrounded him...
Back in Iron country
Sasuke and his team were ready... However Zetsu disappeared
"are you ready?" Madara said
"Yes?" Zetsu replied
"Begin" Madara said
Inside where the Kage's where meeting
"HEEEEELLOOOO!" Zetsu said as he sprouted from the ground the kages jumped back
"Now what?" Raikage shouted
"Akatsuki?" Danzo said
"it would appear" Tsuchikage said
"Uchiha Sasuke is here somewhere, the question is where?" Zetsu said
Back with Naruto
Naruto was dreaming... in his dream there where what he thought where kagebunshins
"man... where we this stupid?" A Naruto dressed in green said to another that was dressed in red
"No... is due to the temporal effect that brought us back and sealed the power even tighter said one in blue... this one had glasses
"I know of this... however... isn't there something we could do?" the one in a light orange said
"Enough... this meeting taking place is to advice him and make our presence known to him...however due to the restrictions we can't give all the information away" said the one in white
"He is right" the one in green said "He needs to be able to access ALL of his abilities... but he has to do so gradually... I dare not think of what would happen if he got them all at once... or he tried using them without the knowledge to use them"
"What... what the hell you are talking about?" Naruto said
"SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN YOU FOOL!" said the one in red and he conked Naruto on the head
"ITAI! THAT HURT TEME!" Naruto said as he nursed his head
He looked and was surrounded by... himself... all of them where wearing the same outfit (The difference was that rather than having orange they had the color of the senshi, it was color coordinated to be like the senshi
"Who the hell are you?" Naruto said
"We are your guardian power... a power ancient and powerful, even more so than Kyuubi's.. our power however... is different, if Kyuubi's power and all the bijuu's are powered by their rage and hate... ours would be the opposite" The one with white said
"How so?" Naruto asked
They all smiled... "Love... because... in the end... the warmth of the heart will always defeat the cold tundra of hatred" the one in light orange said as he pulled his hair back and winked at Naruto
"Each of us is a designated planet in the firmament... we each represent a trait of yours and an elemental power of the planet... however this has nothing to do with kekei genkai or any ninja thing they have here" the one in blue said as he adjusted is glasses
"I see..." Naruto said
"The time when we are unsealed as approaching fast... and so is the time when you will be reunited with the ones lost in your mind" The one in red said
"Wait! You know their names? Please tell me!" Naruto asked
They looked down...
"We cannot... it is not in us... for we are forbidden to speak... but rest assured... you will remember... and your heart will be fluttering... once you remember them... the princess's names" they all begun to rise into the air and said their farewells...
"Sadness will come... an incredible sadness it will be... but once that time is over... the joy that will come will be by far unimaginable and you will be happy and complete" white said as they disappeared
Naruto smiled... as he fell to a deep slumber
Back on the land of iron
"! WHAT!" Raikage yelled
"Sasuke!" Gaara said
"is here?" Kanguro and Temari said
"The one with the sharingan" Mizukage said
"The one who killed Haku and Zabuza?" Ao said
"Sasuke is here? Impossible" Danzo thought
"WHERE'S UCHIHA SASUKE! ANSWER ME!" Raikage said as he grabbed Zetsu
"He... he's really fast!" Zetsu thought
"If you don't answer me I won't go easy on you" Raikage said
"Oh fine... I'll give you a hint" Zetsu said playfully
Raikage tightened his grip
"C! let's get started!" Raikage said to his escort
"YES!"
"There's no reason to kill him... if you have captured him you might be able to get some info on Akatsuki out of him..." Mizukage said
"There is no one in Akatsuki who would betray it... they are all hardcore" Gaara, the Kazekage said
"Okisuke, Urakaku, give order to everyone to search for Sasuke, and to prepare for battle" Mifune said
"yes sir!" they said
"YOU! WITH THE WHITE EYE! KEEP AN EYE ON THE HOKAGE!" Raikage barked
"C! Darui! Let's go!" He said as he made a whole in the wall
Darui looked a bit uncomfortable "S... sorry about the table and the wall" he apologized
"Forget that! Let's go!" C said
Sasuke's team then realized that the guards increased suddenly... they been made
With Naruto
"Shall we have a little chat, Uzumaki Naruto?" Madara said as he sat on the windowsill look at him
He turned around "Y... you!"
*BOOM*
A kage bunshin stood besides him
"A rasengan eh? You know full well it won't work on me" Madara said
Then vines of wood appeared and snared him, and then a wodden cage appeared in front of Naruto
"AH!" Naruto was confused
"Naruto! Stay still" Yamato said
"Nice move Hatake Kakashi... you sure are fast" Madara complimented, he was binded by the wood technique from Yamato as Kakashi made his way with a Raikiri at hand.
"I won't let you get your hands on Naruto that easily... Uchiha Madara!" Kakashi said as he glared at him with his sharingan
"you must have heard of me then? Right? None of your attacks will work on me, Uchiha Madara" Madara said
"So you admit you are Madara?" Kakashi said
"I don't know if you disappear or turn into a ghost... but I know this... if you want to catch Naruto... you have to be solid" Yamato said
"Hahahaha... you think I don't have a contingency plan? Anyways... I did not come here to fight... I came to talk to Naruto" Madara said "I am curious... how did you convince Nagato to betray me? Naruto... I am curious about you" Madara said
"That doesn't matter! What are you going to do to Sasuke! Tell me about Sasuke!" Naruto demanded
"Sasuke, eh?" Madara said mussing a bit
"All right, I'll tell you... about a man eaten up by the ninja world's hatred and bitterness, about... Uchiha Sasuke!" Madara said
Naruto's eyes looked furious as he was contained by the wooden cage.
In the land of Iron
The samurai where searching everywhere for Sasuke
they found a cloak pinned by a kunai
"Did they escape already?" the samurai wondered
He then was knocked down by Sasuke
They all came swarming in
"DESTROY!" they said as they pulled out a tanto... however they channeled their chakras into it giving it a light-saber effect
"I'm...really pissed right now... come at me, I won't go easy on you" Sasuke said
"NEITHER WILL WE!" The samurai said as he threw a chakra slash
Sasuke then activated his sharingan and copied the skill and deflected it using the same technique
Karin then noticed something... Sasuke's chakra... it felt cold... like a monster's even in appearance
He begun to kill the samurai... even thought Suigetsu told him it was not necessary
"Sasuke's chakra... is different... I've never seen him like this... before... it's even darker... than his second stage of his curse... and colder" Karin thought as she begun to sweat in fear
Karin then detected something
"Something big is coming" Karin thought as she detected a huge chakra spike coming their way
The ceiling collapsed as the Raikage fell down from the rubble
"BRAT! I'LL TEACH YOU TO FEAR MY ANGER!" Raikage yelled as his body was covered in electric nature chakra
Sasuke charged forward
"Damn... he is loosing composure" Jugo thought
Sasuke leapt into the air and slashed down to the Raikage using his sword
however he was blocked by the other guy who used water and electric techniques
Sasuke then got rid of the electric effects by absorbing it
"Boss according to the intel there's no way this guy doesn't have lightning nature... moreover, he also has fire, he'll be using a katon soon enough... Darui... keep your suiton ready" C said
"Will do" Darui said
"how the hell they got intel on Sasuke? Suigetsu wondered
"Hey... that guy in the center... he can't be" Karin said
"Those guys are kumogakure jounin... the big one in the center is the raikage, they won't be letting us trough so easily"Jugo said
"Something's coming" Jugon warned Sasuke
"Reigen Raikouchuu!" C yelled
"A distraction?" Jugo thought
From the pilar of light the Raikage punched the shit out of Sasuke
"Don't falter... that was a genjutsu" Sasuke said as Darui and the real Raikage appeared, the first behind the later in front
They both swung down they hand and cleaver sword but it was blocked by Suigetsu and Yugo
"UGH!" Suigetsu groaned under the strain "Man... this guy is powerful" Suigetsu thought
the Raikage then cut his sword, he jumped back "Man... if I wasn't made of water, my arms would've been torn right off from that!" Suigetsu said
"AH! SHIT~! My Kubikiri houchou!" Suigetsu bemoaned the fate of his sword
"That probably happened because it got nicked when we fought the eight tails" Jugo said
"All of you, stop interfering" Sasuke said
"Chech... even though I dragged myself to save your ass, what the hell is that comment? Thought I think that's like you" Suigetsu said
back with Naruto
Madara just explained about Itachi's motivations and Konoha's policy on the Uchiha extermination
Naruto was furious... and banged against the cage
"LIAR!... that's not true!" Naruto roared
"It... can't be..." Yamato said shocked at the revelation
"We can't discuss Sasuke without first discussing about Itachi" Madara said calmly
"Quit fooling around... I don't believe you" Kakashi said
"No... I'm not lying" Madara said "That's the truth about Itachi, he died for Sasuke and for Konoha"
"What do you mean? If that's true and Sasuke knows it, then why would he work with Akatsuki! He would follow Itachi's wishes and return to Konoha" Kakashi said
"Heh... as Sasuke's friends and teacher, you guys think you know him, but you don't understand him at all... you've got it all wrong. He's the real deal... he is a true avanger!" Madara said
Naruto gripped against the wooden bars cracking them a bit
"DID YOU DO THAT TO HIM!" Naruto yelled
"No... I did not" Madara answered truthfully "He choose it himself"
"I took a gamble... not knowing whether he would choose to follow Itachi's wishes... or choose revenge against Konoha, but he choose revenge... that just means in his heart he always was one of us. Right now, Sasuke's goal... is vengance against Konoha for what they did to the Uchiha clan... and to Itachi" Madara said
"Why... why...? why did this happen to him...! why did he turn to revenge!" Naruto said
"He had no choice... this is the hate-filled destiny of the Uchiha. A curse that has followed us for generations" Madara said
"Hate-filled destiny? Curse?" Naruto said
"Yes...the curse of hatred that begun long ago with the founder of the ninjas, the rikudo sage, the sage of the six paths" Madara said
"The Rikudo sage? He's nothing more than a myth. The rinengan is nothing more than a mutation" Kakashi said
"The myth is based on real events... the rikudo sage preached the way of the ninja and tried to bring peace to the world... but it was still but a dream when his time came" Madara said "He had entrusted two boys with the power and the will of the way of the ninja. The elder one was given the sage's "eyes" and was gifted with his powerful chakras and spiritual energy, he believed that might held the key to peace. The younger was born with the sage's "body" and was gifted with his life force and physical energy. He believed love was they key to peace. On his deathbed... the sage had to choose a successor... and the eternal curse of hatred was born from that decision"
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked
"The sage believed that the youngest, not the eldest, was the one best suited to be the successor, convinced that he should been chosen and could not accept the decision, and attacked his brother in hatred... time passed and though their blood had thinned, the descendants of the two brothers still warred with each other. The descendants of the elder were called Uchiha...and the descendants of the younger were called Senju, my battle with the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama... was fated" Madara said "This is only the second time we've met, but I can tell the fire of the Senju clan dwells in you... I can see the first Hokage in you, though dead he lives on... he was my rival... and I admired him...and I hated him more than anything else... Senju and Uchiha...Fire and Hatred, Naruto and Sasuke... you two have been chosen by fate. Revenge is the Uchiha clan's destiny, Sasuke has taken the hatred of his entire clan... and will inflict that curse's hatred on the world... hatred is his greatest weapon, his friend...and his strenght...THAT IS SASUKE'S DOGMA!" Madara said
"Then... what I have to do... is simple..." Naruto said as he laughed
Madara looked at him
"When you see him... tell him to let his hatred run, let him build his hatred... let the winds of hatred flow with the force of hurracanes and gales... I will show in my side the warm winds that bring the breeze that will stop the heat from the hatred... I will pour my heart and my emotions until I wash away the dark filled hatred in his heart... and then... I will come for you... Madara" Naruto said looking at him
Madara chuckled... "Spoken like a Senju... Nartuo, someday you will fight Sasuke... no... I will make sure you do, this fated battle has been long in coming... I will use Sasuke to force people to acknowledge the Uchiha clan" Madara said
"Sasuke is not your toy! You bastard, you are way out of line!" Naruto yelled as the firey of Mars enveloped his words... the Mars's princess stood besides him looking at Madara with burnign hatred
"Do you think you can change Sasuke's heart as you did with Nagato's? I think you are the one out of line...Naruto. If you want to control people's hearts you have to use the darkness within them, Nagato was just... too easily influenced" Madara said
"YOU AND HIM WHERE nothing ALIKE! HE MAY HAVE BEEN GOING ABOUT IT DIFFERENTLY BUT IN HIS HEART HE TRULY DESIRED PEACE! BUT NOT YOU!" Naruto roared
"Heh...you're right" Madara smirked under his mask
"Bastard... you... you just want a war for war's sake..." Naruto opened his eyes "What is it that you are after bastard?" Naruto said
Madara flashed his sharingan "... well... if you must know... is to become complete" Madara said.
"Anyways... my time to talk to you has come to an end... it's been fun chatting with you... see ya" Madara said as he disappeared.
Back to Sasuke and the Raikage
"GUILOTTINE DROP!" he said
Sasuke used his eye to create an amateratsu to skewer Raikage and burn him from the inside... however
sand appeared... and stopped both attacks saving the raikage
"Gaara of the desert" Sasuke said as he saw him
Temari grabbed her fan "Kaimatachi no jutsu!" she said as she swung her fan
Kankuro used his puppet technique to take the samurai's armor off, effectively saving him.
"Stand back samurai, this is between ninjas, there's no need for you samurai to loose your lives over this" Gaara said
"why have you interfered Kazekage? If I don't like your answer I won't let you off easily" Raikage said
"If you had continued... the black flames would have harmed you even more" Gaara said in reply "Besides... I want to talk to Uchiha Sasuke"
"Uhmp" Raikage said as he then cut his own hand
"B...BOSS!" C yelled
"hurry up and stop the bleeding, I'll attack as soon as it's done" he said
"your eyes are still the same..." Gaara said
Sasuke then remembered when he first fought against him
Flashback
"I told you, you have the sames eyes as me...eyes that long for power, eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent. I can see it in your eyes... you are just like me, you're itching to kill those who drove you to this hell called loneliness" Gaara said to him
Flashback end
"I've realised that living for revenge doesn't solve anything. It's not too late for you...don't escape into your own little world, possessed by hatred... you won't be able to return" Gaara said
