Ch 7
I don't own anything except the story
The famous Fan emblem shone from his metal armor; his hair was long and black as his dark obsidian eyes stared at the Hyuuga leader.
"Why have you come here?" Hidori Hyuuga, ruler of the city, asked the Uchiha with a glare.
He chuckled in response, "Child, I have lived for years longer than you can imagine," he moved back, facing the windows that revealed the city as his eyes glazed over, "that pitiful glare does not even faze me…"
Hidori looked away; he didn't know what to believe about that Uchiha, only that he was one of the rulers of Guardian and that he was an elder, or, a person who doesn't seem to age. Often, the man visited the city for some odd reason…it didn't really bother him but what bothered him the most was the man's attitude, it was weird.
"What is it you require then?"
The Uchiha Lord continued staring out the window, thinking of his past, "this continent," he spoke out as Hidori listened, "this whole land used to be under one rule, until we split it up between a Hyuuga and an Uchiha."
Hidori continued to listen, not understanding what the man was trying to say, but he did sense sorrow in his voice.
"I'm just visiting," he spoke as Hidori nodded, the Uchiha faced him, his eyes staring into Hidori's, "I sense there will be a change soon," he continued to speak, his eyes looked ancient, filled with knowledge as Hidori inwardly felt a small shiver, "living as long as I have, one would be able to tell."
The Uchiha started walking out, his face remained stoic as Hidori called out, "don't tell me you're starting to predict the future…" the Uchiha stopped.
"Madara Uchiha"
Madara turned around, staring at Hidori who flinched at the stare, "I've died once to a powerful human with demonic powers and risen, becoming a god," Madara answered, facing his back towards the Hyuuga, "I should have stayed dead, but now all I can do is hope for change," he walked forward as the giant doors automatically slid open before closing, leaving Hidori to wonder what that whole conversation was about.
…Scene Change…
Naruto attacked the vengeful ghost, throwing his giant wind shurikens, slicing the figure; he had tried talking but it wouldn't listen anymore so now he would have to fight back, and hope he didn't kill Konohamaru…kill it more than it already is he meant.
He looked at the group, Hagatsu was taking cover, he was no fighter; the rest handled the skeletal warriors.
They seemed to be handling it well until a few started using jutsus, breathing out fire which forced most of them to dodge.
Zeto already gave up on his rifle, using his twin blade to cut through these warriors. He ran straight ahead, dodging the skulls strikes before slicing down on one of the skulls who was performing something weird with its hands, he turned to Nukumi. She was handling herself well, that one blade in her hand and her eyes activated; she stood, allowing the skulls to come to her before slicing those who came close. Her blade danced in the air, slashing down quickly on the monsters before twisting and continuing its damage. He watched around her as a few skulls started performing that weird magic again, he was about to call out but stopped as a blue light disrupted each one; he turned to look, it was Shiro, his small chakra weapon glowing as he concentrated again and shot a beam of light to another.
Shiro ran through the skulls quickly before leaping in the air and slashing down on the magic skulls, his glowing dagger hissing as it cut through the bones and destroyed the enemy.
"Rasengan!"
A roar echoed through the cave as they turned to look at the main spirit, Naruto stood in front as the spirit slammed against the wall before rising up, its red skull eyes staring at Naruto before its mouth opened and bursts of poisonous dark clouds headed towards Naruto.
Naruto blew out before concentrating around him, moving the poison clouds together before shooting it back at the dark spirit. He quickly breathed in before blowing out again as a stream of fire shot out of his mouth, impacting the clouds and detonating an explosion.
Naruto covered his eyes, as did the rest of the group until the dust and debris dies down. The skull warriors disappeared as Shiro, Nukumi, and Zeto made their way to Naruto.
"Is it over," Shiro asked as Nukumi and Naruto shook their heads.
The Spirit rose up again, this time, a different form; its form grew human like, it's body looked as hard as the bones while it's dark wings sprouted behind it. Its red eyes continued to glow on his skull face as it faced the group…it disappeared.
Naruto tensed before Shiro and Zeto were both knocked back, their bodies flying all the way to the back wall as Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash, reappearing in front of Nukumi as he held his hands forward, concentrating on the wind.
The thing appeared, clawing at an invisible barrier as Nukumi spoke out amzaed, "Aero..."
Naruto looked back, beads of sweat poured on his face as he held on to the wind shield, "what."
"This magic, we know it as Aero," she replied, looking back at the thing worried as Naruto turned back to it.
"That's great info but," the thing roared out again as Naruto concentrated on the center, "that really doesn't help me here," a spiraling vortex of wind appeared, catching the thing and hurling it across the cavern, slamming it against the cave walls. Naruto looked back at Nukumi, "I just call it wind manipulation."
Nukumi nodded, "yes, one of the seven elements."
"Exactly," Naruto nodded, looking back at the thing he once knew as Konohamaru before what she said registered in his mind, he turned back, "wait seven elements?"
She didn't have time to answer as the thing appeared in front of them again, Naruto grabbed on to Nukumi before disappearing and reappearing besides Zeto and Shiro.
Zeto took out one more of those green balls before signaling to Shiro, "how good is your aim?"
"One of the best in school, why?"
Zeto nodded, "then concentrate your chakra blast on this," he threw the ball at the monster as Shiro brought up his weapon before concentrating; he fired a blue energy blast.
Naruto saw this, and idea formed as he picked up a few rocks, instantly placing the explosion seal on them before throwing them towards the figure.
A huge explosion resounded the cavern as the group had to look away. It echoed off the cavern until finally the light died down along the noise as the debris and dust cleared.
They stared as nothing rose up from the damage, a huge crater was formed and Naruto grew worried, he rushed forward.
He leapt down to the center of the crater, staring at the weak glowing spirit, "Konohamaru," he knelt down as the man stared back at the familiar face.
"It really is you," his ghostly hand reached up, touching his cheek as Naruto nodded to the boy, "it's been so long since I've seen you…where did you go?"
Naruto looked down sadly, "I never left Konoha, trust me, I would never," the figure nodded but parts of his body already started to disperse in blue orbs.
"There isn't much time," Konohamaru spoke as Naruto paid attention, "over there, I've sealed a scroll into the wall, take it."
Naruto spotted the wall as the group approached him, they looked back at the figure, already, his body was missing as his head stared back at Naruto; his smile was content.
"It's good to see you again, big brother…"
Naruto tea red, replying, "and you too, little bro," Konohamaru disappeared as the group looked at Naruto. He stood up, wiping his eyes before heading to the seal placed on the wall next to Konohamaru's skeletal remains.
"Now, how do we get out of here?" Hagatsu asked as the rest shrugged, following Naruto.
As soon as Naruto activated the seal, a scroll appeared, attached to the wall; Naruto grabbed it.
Suddenly, the ground shook as the rocks from the top started to fall.
"This place is falling apart!" Zeto roared out as they all looked around in panic.
Naruto quickly looked around, spotting a glowing symbol on the floor near Konohamaru's skeleton body; its eyes glowed as its bony arm pointed at the symbol.
Naruto nodded in thanks, "Follow me," he ran ahead, dodging the falling rocks as the group remained a step behind. Once each one of them stepped on the seal, Naruto slammed his chakra powered hands on the floor; it glowed a bright blue before the whole group disappeared, the ceiling collapsed, burying the once powerful city.
…Scene Change…
Madara felt the whole city rumble as he walked near the gates. He was on his way to the forest, the whole buildings and what not, he never did like them.
'Maybe, the change is now,' he thought before a figure landed beside him.
"My Lord," he bowed, wearing his helmet as the Uchiha fan glinted on his armor, Madara signaled him to rise, replying, "apprentice Sachi, what is it?"
He nodded, taking off his helmet as his obsidian eyes stared back at his master while his raven hair swished in the wind, "the city seems to be in panic due to the earthquake, its unnatural sir."
Madara shrugged, "Then I wish Hidori luck on his city," he started walking through the forest, "come, let us leave."
Sachi nodded, following until they both felt it; they turned to look at the direction in the forest, 'A chakra user out here?'
Madara looked curious before he started to walk towards it, Sachi following.
