Akuma Sannin
Okay so first I wanna say thanks to all of you who have subscribed, favorited, followed or done all of the above. Cause the feedback that I have been getting from you guys is what really has helped me keep writing, this is my first story ever and for a while I really thought that I was doing something wrong till I looked at all of the feedback and reviews from you all. Not gonna lie it means a lot to me so keep on reading and don't forget to Review the chapters. Cause again if any of you have any questions then I can totally answer them, and I'm always open to new ideas and if you have a good one then I might be able to work it into the story somewhere. I'm also sorry for the long wait with this particular chapter, I've had crazy ass amounts of homework with my college classes that has taken up a lot of my time and I also wanted to make sure I got this chapter right and did it justice instead of just shiting outs a subpar chapter.
Also I can't tell you how excited I am to be doing this chapter finally, as I am going to be able to put to rest something that will have taken me 10 whole chapters to bring full circle. ALSO…..I've decided to instead change Kiba's gender back to male. You may have seen at the top of chp. 3 I had made a list showing all of the pairings for this story, well after a lot of thinking I decided to change Kiba back to a male because of his father Okami. I just feel that for a man as badass as him he should have a son to carry on his legacy and name, you know how that old fashioned stuff goes. And for a man like Okami Inuzuka that's just the kind of thing you would expect, it's just something that had to be done. I'll post who Kiba will be paired up with in the next chapter. And finally im sorry for the time between chapters i had to take the time in order to keep up the quality of the story, as well as iron out all of the details. The next chapter will come before the end of November so keep an eye out for it, and if you have any questions leave a review. Enjoy!
Naruto stood stock still next to Kurama who was likewise frozen in place, their minds having ground to an abrupt halt as they tried to take in what their eyes were seeing. They had finally reached the laboratory that belonged to Orochimaru, and despite all of the warnings that Ryuk had given them on the way there nothing could prepare them for what they were witnessing. Everywhere they looked they saw both human and animal organs encased in clear jars filled with culture liquid, there were several operating tables neatly aligned in a row in one corner of the large room. With several desks covered in both medical and science equipment all along the walls and throughout the lab, the most horrifying part of it all are the massive tubes along one of the walls. In each of them were the corpses of men, women and children who had all obviously been experimented on. Each of them looking far more like some malformed monster than an actual human being, as Naruto took it all in he began to have flashbacks of all the times he had caught Orochimaru staring at him. All of the times that he had stared at him or just made him feel plain uncomfortable, as it all came together Naruto realized that all of those times the snake summoner must have been thinking about experimenting on him. Doing all of these sick experiments on him just to see what made him tick, as it dawned on him Naruto quickly bent over and expelled all of the contents within his stomach. It was simply the most disgusting scene he had ever witnessed, as he finished coughing up what felt like his lungs Naruto stood back up to take another look.
"Alright Ryuk, now that we've ensured that I have nightmares for the foreseeable future. Again…..why are we here?!" Naruto asked screaming near the end.
"Do you remember back in Iron Country when my dad told me to visit Kami? Saying she had something to tell me?" Ryuk asked gaining a nod from Naruto and Kurama. "When I got to heaven Yami and Jashin were already there with mom, once I was there they told me what was going on. Do you remember when I told you that your clan had helped me out a long time ago?"
"Ummmmm yes?" Naruto said vaguely remembering from his first encounter with Ryuk that it had been mentioned.
"Well what they had helped me out with was the sealing of another God, a very old one too." Ryuk said much to Naruto's and Kurama's surprise.
"WHAT/EHHHHHH?!" Naruto and Kurama exclaimed.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" asked Kurama.
"What I mean is that they helped me seal away the Yamata no Orochi…." Ryuk replied causing both demons to freeze.
"Yeah now that I have your attention…" sighed Ryuk. "This was only a few centuries after the Juubi had been dealt with, I had been sent to deal with the bastard once and for all. A demonic God that was infinitely more dangerous as the Ten Tails, and just as powerful-"
"Wait….." Naruto interjected. " How was it more dangerous if it was just as powerful?"
"*sigh*...Because while the Juubi is a primordial god of mindless destruction, the Orochi was not only just as powerful but was also as cunning and intelligent as my parents." Ryuk explained.
"Fuck….." Naruto breathed out as he felt like all of the wind had been knocked out of him.
"Now that I've answered your question may I continue?" Ryuk asked with a not so subtle tinge of irritation, getting a nod he continued. "It had taken everything to seal the Orochi away and by the end of it we had almost completed our task, but right before it could be complete the slippery bastard used all of its power to pull off one last trick. It changed the sealing so that way all of his power, his body, and his mind would remain sealed, but that his soul would remain. And in doing so he allowed himself a chance of escape, because with his soul free it would inevitably become reincarnated. When that happens he would basically be reborn a mortal without any of his previous memories or powers, but he would still possess the soul of a dark god." Ryuk explained much to Naruto and Kurama's horror.
"Sweet Kami…..And I thought I was bad…." said Kurama.
"So what does this have to do with us?" Naruto asked at length.
"I was getting to that, you see out of all the other gods I'm the only one who's actually even allowed to meddle in mortal affairs to the extent that I do. And even then I have rules I have to follow, we may be gods but we all go by a set of rules that we never break so that way we can check ourselves. That being said I've been asked to enlist you into our service, to keep an eye on Orochimaru and ensure that he never discovers a way to becoming immortal."
"Wait a minute! Timeout!" Kurama exclaimed holding up her paw like hands in a capital 'T'. "First of all what does the Orochi-pedo becoming immortal have to do with anything? And lastly HOW could he even BECOME immortal?" she asked in rapid fire.
"In order, if he becomes immortal then the sealing will be broken and he will ascend to godhood. And secondly there are many different ways that one can become immortal, seriously you would be surprised. One guy named Faust in one of the other universes used necromancy to accomplish it, while another used magic and science to do the same. Becoming immortal is just one of those things that is just so damn difficult to achieve that even though there are many methods, it's almost impossible despite the billions of universes that exist." Ryuk explained as he took another apple out from who even knows where and began to inhale it.
"So you just want us to keep an eye on him?" Naruto asked gaining a nod from the raven winged god.
"And what? Make sure to fuck up all of his immortality plans?" Kurama finished as both demons begin to get the picture.
"Yep and in return for your services not only will dad spit out the souls of your parents, but he's also agreed to allow up to one person being resurrected by yours truly." Ryuk answered gaining a shocked look from both Naruto and Kurama, after a few moments of processing what Ryuk had told them something clicked inside Naruto's head.
"Wait what?! What do you mean 'spit out their souls'?" he asked angrily.
"Exactly what I said Naruto, he'll spit out their souls. There is a price to pay for summoning my father and it is quite possibly the steepest for anyone, especially when using the Dead Consuming Seal. Your parents had to pay that price on the night Kurama was sealed inside of you, ever since then they have been inside of father's stomach together." Ryuk explained without batting an eye.
"What the fuck?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ANYTHING?!" Naruto screamed.
"Watch your tone...boy." Ryuk growled. "And to answer your question, you simply didn't need to know until now. It served no purpose in telling you till you were ready and you still aren't, but recent circumstances have forced our hands."
Naruto stood there thinking about all that he had been told, going over it all repeatedly in his head. Thinking about his parents whom he had never met, about the offer to bring back one person from the dead, and how all he had to do was make sure some asshole never became immortal. It sounded crazy and easy in theory, but nothing had ever really been easy in Naruto's life and if anything it had taught him that there was always a catch.
"Do you promise?" Naruto asked looking back up at Ryuk.
"We gods never go back on our word, a trait you have in common with us." Ryuk responded.
"When will it end? Keeping an eye on Orochimaru?"
"When he dies once and for all, being mortal when he finally dies for good his soul will go to hell." answered Ryuk. "Where Yami and Jashin will be able to keep him under lock and key, and before you get any ideas no using my blade to destroy his soul won't work."
"What? How come?" asked Kurama.
"Because while he may be mortal his soul is still that of a god's, meaning the properties of my blade are powerless on him."
"*sigh* Fine…...I'll do it." Naruto said tiredly.
"Naruto-kun are you sure?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah I'm sure, if it gets mom and dad out of the Shinigami then so be it. Plus I might just be able to bring one of them back, I'd say that's a fair trade for the pain in the ass duty they want me to take up." answered Naruto as he began to look around the lab. "Well we're here….*sigh* might as well start looking around I guess." Without another word Naruto made an all too familiar hand sign, and in a puff of smoke 10 Shadow Clones puffed into existence. "Alright guys spread out and try to find anything you can, the more we know about this freak the better." he ordered causing the clones to scurry about the lab.
"Oh and by the way…" Ryuk called out to Naruto and his clones before they left. "It's probably for the best that you leave no trace that you were ever here, wouldn't want Orochimaru to ever think you were on to what he did in his private times." And with that the god disappeared leaving not a trace of his presence, after thinking Ryuk's advice over for a second Naruto sent a mental command to his clones to be careful not to leave any trace.
"Naruto-kun, are you going to be alright?" Kurama asked worriedly knowing that this was a lot for anyone to take in.
"No." he answered honestly. "But that doesn't matter now, I just want to get this over with and get the hell out of here." he said before taking several large swigs from his drinking gourd, the sweet taste of the saki burning its way down his throat doing wonders for his mood.
"Well then what are we waiting for?" Kurama asked before taking off in a random direction. As Naruto watched his companion take off, he got the unmistakable feeling that he wasn't going to like anything that he came across. Resigning himself to his fate Naruto cracked his neck before heading over to what he could only assume was the main desk.
Somewhere in the forests of Fire Country
Fugaku groaned in pleasure as he continued to thrust his member into the mouth of his victim, it had been so easy to snatch him the first time that he had honestly thought it might have been a trap. Having come across the teenager as he was walking down an alley it had been almost too perfect a chance, with a quick scan around to make sure nobody was around Fugaku's eyes flared to life as his Sharingan activated and then morphed before he struck. A well kept secret that only he and his wife Mikoto knew about was the true nature of their eyes, having seen and done unspeakable things during the Third Shinobi War had allowed them to reach new heights of power. Thanks to the war taking both of their siblings as well as their parents caused both him and his wife to gain the Mangekyo Sharingan, something that they wisely kept to themselves and experimented with in private. Spending time pouring over the Uchiha records and scrolls before ultimately going to the Naka Shrine in the compound to read what they could of the Uchiha Tablet, an artifact that was the most closely guarded secret of the Uchiha as only those with the Sharingan could even read it. From there he and Mikoto had discovered that with their Mangekyo Sharingans they could read far more of the tablet than anyone else had ever been able to, and discovered more secrets surrounding their Dojutsu than they had ever imagined. From accounts of the legendary founder of their clan Madara Uchiha and his brother Izuna, they discovered the price that comes with using their Mangekyo's but also a way around it. By transplanting the eyes of another wielder of the Mangekyo Sharingan into one's sockets they could achieve a level that only Madara had been able to achieve, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. After that however they were incapable of reading much else as the rest of the tablet became blurred and incomprehensible, the only other thing they were able to read was the warning that the eyes must come from a blood relative. This had stumped them both as they had read it till Mikoto caught on to the true meaning, just as in the case of Madara and Izuna in order to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo the eyes must come from a parent or sibling. After many long talks over this and more importantly what they would do Fugaku had managed to talk Mikoto into going into the clan vault with him to where the Uchiha stored the eyes of their deceased loved ones, disguising the 2 week long affair as them just wanting to enjoy a second honeymoon together gave them all the time they needed. After performing the transplantation on each other the effects had been almost immediate, as they saw the world in a way that only one other person had ever been able to. After returning home they had begun to quietly experiment as they both knew that they would undoubtedly gain both similar powers, as well as powers unique only to them.
This was only confirmed the next time that they had gone down to read the Uchiha Tablet once again, now being able to read more about the Sage of Six Paths and how before his death had split his power between his two sons. They were shocked to discover that they were direct descendants of such a mythical figure but were shocked even more, when they discovered that the Sage's sons were the true founders of the Senju and Uchiha clans. Fugaku could still remember how he felt when he learned that fact, that both the Senju and the Uchiha were cousins and yet had been fighting one another for millenia. As he and his wife read they came upon one last piece of information before the tablet became unreadable again, and that was that in order to achieve the power of the Sage would take the union of both bloodlines. That last piece of information had stumped them both for days before the idea had come to him as he was reviewing the case on Orochimaru's experiments, in order to read more of the tablet one would need to gain the next level of their Dojutsu. And since they were near the very end of the tablet that meant that there was only one possible explanation that made sense, that there was another level to their Dojutsu that transcended even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan…...But what? As Fugaku had thought of this his mind drifted back to what the tablet had said about gaining the power of the Sage of Six Paths, it was then that it came to him. The tablet was talking about the Rinnegan! A Dojutsu said to have belonged only to the Sage of Six Paths, one that was said to hold dominion over all of the possible elements and even life and death. As Fugaku came to this conclusion he began to think it over very carefully, and as he thought about it more the more it became clear to him that it was the only thing that the tablet could have been referring to. But once again Fugaku was stumped as he sat in his office because he knew there was no way he himself would be able to 'create a union of the bloodlines', not unless Mikoto allowed him to knock up Tsunade. Still the only person that he knew who could possibly help him in that endeavor would be Orochimaru, deciding to tell his wife what he had come up with he had taken off for the compound to find her. As he raced through the village heading towards the Uchiha Compound his heart pounding, he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and tripped. Falling down from the tops of trees Fugaku almost face planted a boulder, as it came near time came to an abrupt halt as his eyes morphed into the Eternal Mangekyo and without truly realizing it he quickly spoke.
"Gosutozon(Ghost Zone)..." he said.
As he stopped before hitting the boulder he quickly looked around only to see that not only was he basically floating in mid air, but that instead of the normal black and white that he normally sees with his Dojutsu he could see in color up to a certain degree. Standing up Fugaku looked around only to see much to his surprise Hiashi and his wife Hanna were pressed up against a tree making love, on impulse beginning to look away he stopped as soon as he realized that they were moving way too slowly and hadn't realized he was there. Cautiously walking up to the couple he saw how they seemed to be carrying on as if he wasn't even there, lifting up his hand he placed it on Hiashi's shoulder only to freeze as his mind was assaulted. In that one contact alone Fugaku witnessed how Hiashi had spent the entire day training with Hanna and how he had decided to seduce her after their spar, and with these memories came every sensation up till then that he had felt. Not being able to stop the moan that escaped his throat his mind then drifted to the brief thought of seeing Hanna topless, he was surprised with what happened next as Hanna then ripped off her shirt and bra. Initially confused Fugaku removed his hand from Hiashi's shoulder and decided to try something, concentrating he conjured up the image of Hanna facing the tree as the boulder he had almost ran into floated off the ground. And much to his surprise Hiashi pulled his cock out of Hanna and turned her around, pressing her back up against the tree he entered her from behind as the boulder he noticed was floating a few feet off of the ground. As he thought of what just happened he noticed that there was a strain coming from keeping the jutsu active, deciding to leave he willed the boulder to go back to where it had been and left after quickly cutting chakra off to his eyes.
Fugaku then decided to keep much of what had happened that day to himself as he didn't really know how to explain the ability he had discovered to Mikoto, while he told her all that he had come up with regarding that tablet he had decided to keep the ability 'Gosutozon' a secret. Over the next several months Fugaku experimented in secret with his EMS and discovered that just like with Mikoto he could create unquenchable black flames known as 'Ameterasu' with his left eye, that it was easier to cast all manner of Genjutsus with both of his eyes, and that he could use Gosutozon with his right eye. He didn't know what special ability that Mikoto was capable of yet as it had yet to surface, but he was able to see just how much more powerful they were becoming. And wanting to know all the particulars of his ability Fugaku had spent the months practicing with Gosutozon in the compound, first with small things here and there and then working up to people. Fugaku discovered that he was basically creating a space that he could almost completely control, while it was almost impossible to detect his presence people could to a certain extent know he was there. This he found out as he was talking to Hiashi who had sworn that somebody had touched his shoulder when he was making love to his wife in the woods, keeping that thought in mind Fugaku had decided to see what the absolute extreme limits of his jutsu were. He had gone out into the village when he spotted Mebuki Haruno walking alone down one of the deserted alleys to her home, activating his Dojutsu he quickly used Gosutozon as he dropped down in front of her. The woman had no time to even register what that anyone was even there before she found herself under the effects of the jutsu, with a mere thought from Fugaku the beautiful blonde woman removed her blouse and skirt. Standing there in only her rather naughty lingerie Fugaku noted that there was a very strained look of fear in Mebuki's eyes, placing his hand on her forehead Fugaku saw through the woman's mind that she was completely aware of what was happening. That she had no clue why she was doing what she was doing and that she was very aware of the fact that somebody had placed an invisible hand on her forehead, removing his hand Fugaku couldn't help himself as he looked the woman up and down. She was a truly beautiful woman and had a great body and as these thoughts flew through Fugaku's mind, so too did the absolute knowledge that he had complete control over her and that there was nothing anyone could do about it. Before he could act on that however a few drunks stumbled into the alley laughing and wreaking of saki, much to his and Mebuki's surprise the drunks stumbled right past the two without noticing either of them. Knowing now that as long as the jutsu was active only those within the space that he had created would even be aware of what he was doing, Fugaku couldn't help himself as he reveled in the power and control that he felt at that moment. The knowledge that he couldn't get caught and that he could do whatever he wanted was too much for him in that moment, as brought his hand up and ripped Mebuki's bra off allowing the woman's ample breasts to spill out. Not wasting any time Fugaku bent Mebuki over on all fours in the dirt after removing her panties, taking out his now rock hard tool he then raped the poor woman over and over again.
It was only after he was finished that he had come to his senses as the gravity of what he had done truly set in for him, stuffing his dick back in his pants he left Mebuki lying on the ground crying as he ran home. The next few days Fugaku had been a nervous wreck as he was just waiting for someone to walk in and arrest him, but nothing of the sorts had happened. No one accused him of raping Mebuki, Hiruzen didn't come crashing into his office to take his head, life simply went on as if almost nothing had happened. After a week Fugaku did some discreet digging and discovered from the rape kit that had been done on Mebuki, that the semen that was left behind was warped beyond all recognition and that there was no way to use it to identify anyone with it. While reading this Fugaku let out a sigh as relief washed over him like a tsunami, the irony that he had indirectly been handed a 'get out of jail free card' from the universe not being lost on him. As he walked out of the file room he unconsciously began to form a plan in his head given the turn of events, by the time he had reached his office Fugaku had already come to a decision that would change his village forever.
Over the next several months Fugaku went on a crime spree targeting anyone that struck his fancy, all the while experimenting with his new abilities so that he knew the exact limits of Gosutozon. Learning that he could extend the range of the 'space' that he 'created' up to 30 meters and that the larger the 'space' the more chakra the jutsu required, as well as the fact that as long as he supplied the jutsu with chakra there was no time limit. This had the effect of him building his chakra reserves up as his constant use of the chakra intensive jutsu made his overall reserves skyrocket from where they were before, he also discovered through private training with his wife the full range of his other Mangekyo abilities. How the both of them could control the Ameterasu flames that they created to an extent by willing them to extinguish, both having agreed to master that aspect of the flames before anything else lest they harm one another on accident. Despite what Fugaku did behind Mikoto's back he still loved her deeply and didn't want to see her harmed, they also discovered another secret to their abilities in the form of a jutsu that required the use of both of their eyes. By using both of their eyes they could create a spectral warrior around themselves known as Susano, after this discovery he and Mikoto had delved into the deepest reaches of the Uchiha archives for answers. After a week of serious digging they discovered through a journal that had belonged to Madara himself that the jutsu had several stages, each requiring more chakra than the last to attain but granting more and more power. They obviously couldn't simply train in secret with this ability in just any old training ground, and so they had been forced to take their experiments to the Forbidden Zone of Training Ground 44. Which just so happened to have been where the Tailed Beast Bomb had struck down on the Kyuubi and forever morphed the surrounding area, as it was now it was so dangerous only the absolute most powerful of shinobi were allowed to train there. That and the sheer level of seclusion and distance from everyone and everywhere else had made it the perfect place for them, it was there that they were able to take their training to even greater heights.
But for all of that there still remained his 'hunts' through the village that had become like an addiction to him, he even targeted some of the young Gennin who had just graduated the Academy. All of that paled in comparison however when he managed to use his Sharingan to convince over thirty others to kill the demon brat Naruto, it had been so easy that Fugaku honestly didn't need to use his bloodline but why take the risk? After they had finally cornered and tortured him was the first time that it had even occurred to him to rape the little shit, but he was just as surprised when the rest joined in on the fun. After that night however Fugaku began to target victims of both genders providing they looked feminine enough for him, and while he had to wait quite some time to begin hunting thanks to the Hokage it was well worth the wait. He had his wife after all who he went through great lengths to keep happy and unaware, always thinking that on those nights where he came home at 3am that he had been working. Truly the usefulness of Shadow Clones could not be praised enough, with it he always had an ironclad alibi along with a very well established history. It caused him no small amount of amusement too when he saw the look on Inoichi's face when he asked him for counseling to 'get some things off of his chest', Fugaku had been patting himself on the back with that stroke of genius ever since. Then there was the time that he had assaulted Itachi, if he was being honest with himself Fugaku would admit that even he had large reservations about raping his own son at first. But those thoughts much like what little shred of a conscience he still possessed, died out quickly once Itachi began to moan and buck in response to his member sliding in and out of him. By the end of it all he had climaxed inside of Itachi at least five times, while his son appeared to have came triple that amount if the decent sized pool of semen beneath him was anything to go by.
Pushing that all from his mind Fugaku looked down to the face of the young Chunin he was still fucking, of all of his victims those of the Hyuuga were his absolute favorite. And without a doubt he had hit the jackpot in Ko Hyuuga, Fugaku had first attacked him on the night he made Chunin. He had been celebrating having made Chunin as well as receiving an invitation to join the ANBU, striking when he knew the young man's guard was down the Uchiha Patriarch took his time. What had surprised Fugaku however was that the crime was never reported, it never made it to his desk and after some very discreet snooping around had discovered something rather curious. That not only had the young Hyuuga not reported the crime to anyone, but it appeared that Fugaku might have broken something in the boy. He watched over a period of weeks, as the young Hyuuga began to masturbate solely with his ass in public places from dark alleys to abandoned parks. This had at first put Fugaku off as he immediately thought it was a trick, this lead to his years of training in police work coming into play. Over a couple of months of having Shadow Clones survey Ko, Fugaku noticed that he showed all of the signs of someone who was truly and thoroughly broken. Leading a double life Fugaku saw how Ko would go about his regular life as an ANBU trainee, but whenever he had the chance would walk the streets of Konoha naked. All the while looking for the one who had attacked him, after a while it became obvious to Fugaku that Ko wasn't faking anything. This lead to Ko getting his wish granted one night in the form of a package appearing on his doorstep, inside was a very risque outfit. Little to Fugaku's surprise when he found Ko on his next night off, Ko was wearing the outfit that had been supplied to him. Wearing nothing but a pair of white girly panties designed to hold male equipment but left the anus exposed, a white garter belt with hose, and white 6 inch heel shoes. Fugaku had him pressed up against a tree in the woods before Ko knew what had hit him, receiving no resistance he took the young Hyuuga right there and then.
Pushing that all to the back of his mind Fugaku gave a bark like grunt as he came in Ko's mouth, rolling his eyes back he briefly enjoyed the wave of ecstasy that washed over him. Opening his eyes he looked down to see his slave cleaning him off, as he did Fugaku noticed a large beetle on the back of his hand. Frowning he brought it up so he could see it better, as he did he came to the realization as to what it was having seen it's species countless times before. It was a large Kikaichu beetle, the primary insect utilized by the Aburame Clan. As countless sirens and warning bells began to go off in his head, something hard and heavy smashed into his side sending him flying through the air. After crashing through a few trees Fugaku righted himself and came to a skidding halt on his feet, quickly putting his still hard member back in his pants he looked around noting he was in a clearing of the woods. Before he could do anything however he was struck again without warning, this time being being sent high into the air where he was met by another meteoric blow. Again and again Fugaku was smacked around through the air at a blistering pace like a human pinball going through the air, this proceeded for a few minutes before he was sent back to the sweet embrace of mother earth. Growling Fugaku pushed himself back up out of the crater he had made and stood up ignoring the pain in his back as it popped, looking around the clearing it was apparent he wasn't going anywhere without a serious fight given his company. He was in fact completely surrounded by not only the entire Shinobi Council but also at least a platoon of ANBU, looking around he saw the Hokage in an all black shinobi battle attire with his Adamantine Staff resting on his shoulder. Hiruzen was flanked by both Danzo and Okami Inuzuka and his Nin dogs. Looking around he saw Sibi Aburame, Might Guy, Kakashi who had his Sharingan out, the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio, and even Jaraiya was present.
"Hello Fugaku, what a pleasant surprise to find you here." Hiruzen said the calmness of his face and tone belaying the absolute rage that was in his eyes.
"How?" Fugaku snarled.
"Hmmm? Whatever do you mean?" asked Hiruzen feigning ignorance, before a fake look of realization spread across his features. "Oh! You must be referring to how we figured out you were the 'Ghost' all along."
"Obviously." Fugaku spat. " My alibis have always been perfect! What tipped you off?!" he demanded screaming near the end.
"It's simple really." said Okami stepping forward. "Because nobody is naturally that good. It should not have even taken 3 years to catch you let alone this long, which meant whoever the Ghost was had to be somebody in a position of power as well as a Shinobi." he explained, as he did so his Nin dogs Akela and Kato began to slowly circle Fugaku from the same distance as their master. "And as I was thinking of this I came to the conclusion that the Ghost had to be someone of high ranking within the Uchiha Police Force, possibly even yourself which is why I paid Hokage-sama a visit."
Chuckling darkly Fugaku rounded back on Hiruzen. "And let me guess….that's when you started to keep tabs on me and several others right?"
"Yes, I had the Inuzuka and Aburame clans discretely keep tabs on everyone within the Police Force." confirmed Hiruzen.
"However that was ultimately getting us nowhere." said Danzo speaking for the first time. "After the a while it became clear that we would need a proper bait to lure you out, I found my bait in the form of Ko Hyuuga." he said prompting the young Chunin to shunshin next to him in standard ROOT ANBU attire. "With Inoichi's help I was able to temporarily program certain behaviors into him, that would go into effect after you initially assaulted him. All of which were based off of his dealings with all of your other victims, studying them through regular therapy it was easy for us to create the perfect Trojan Horse. Somebody who had a damaged and addictive tendency towards anal pleasure, coupled with a need to be dominated and several other symptoms typically found in severe rape victims." Danzo explained causing Fugaku to grit his teeth in anger.
"Ko had always hated our clan for how it treated it's own family members, and had wanted desperately to escape to the ANBU." said Hiashi stepping forward. "Wanting emancipation from our clan in any way possible, when we told him what mission we would have him on he still didn't even hesitate in volunteering." "
"From there we began planting female Kikaichu beetles on him that would let off pheromones that small swarms of males would follow, this allowed us to map out all of Ko's paths that he took as well as all of the spots that you struck." said the Sibi Aburame. "After some time we discovered a pattern in the areas you chose along with the frequency that you would strike, that is how we were able to lay this trap weeks in advance knowing you would most likely return here during the full moon."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Fugaku laughed despite the situation he was currently in he could not help himself but laugh. "Well now….hehehe…..congratulations…..you caught me!" he cackled before quickly regaining his composure and becoming serious once more, something that put most of the ANBU on edge. "This doesn't change anything because no matter what I'm not going down peacefully, you're just going to have to kill me. So….who's going to do it?" he asked gaining nothing but silence from those gathered. As Fugaku looked around he saw four others arrive that made him truly freeze in his tracks, his father Ozai and his two aunts Miho and Kaho all of whom were the Uchiha Elders, and lastly his wife Mikoto. Time seemed to ground to a halt as his Sharingan unconsciously flared to life perfectly memorizing the absolute pain, rage and betrayal on their faces. It cut Fugaku like a knife to see such looks directed towards him from his family, especially his wife, hanging his head he let out a sigh as he understood in that moment that no matter what life as he knew it was over.
"Fugaku…..why?" Mikoto asked barely being able to speak, let alone look at the monster that was her in front of her.
"...I…." Fugaku started to say but stopped, as he couldn't find the words that seemed to have completely abandoned him.
"Fugaku." said Hiruzen gaining the man's attention. "It's over…..Come quietly and face justice like a man, and maybe you'll be able to redeem some of your clan's honor." he said gaining an incredulous look from the fallen shinobi.
"Honor?... What Honor?!" spat Ozai whose face was contorted into one of pure rage, his ability to remain silent having come to an end. "It was only just recently that we as a clan began to fully recover from the rift between us and the village after Madara's betrayal, and that was almost seventy years ago! How will we EVER be able to face the village once this gets out?!" the ancient man screamed, giving voice to something that would eventually cause the village more grief in the near future.
"Calm yourself Ozai." said Danzo. "There are still plenty of ways to handle this without anyone needing to know it was him, we can simply see to it that the world thinks he was killed fighting the true 'Ghost'."
This merely gained a derisive snort form Kaho, rolling her eyes she addressed the mummified shinobi. "Oh and what? You going to guarantee that no form of retribution or harm will come to our clan too? Last time you people made any such promise it was to a cute little boy with fox ears, and look at what happened to him!" she said gaining a wince form Jiraiya and Hiruzen.
"There is absolutely no way for this to NOT get out to the village, the only thing left for us at this point will be to LEAVE KONOHA!" snarled Miho.
"No!" snapped Mikoto gaining everyone's attention. "We will do no such thing, and neither will we try to hide what my….husband has done." she said addressing Miho and Danzo, spitting out the word 'husband' with more venom than anyone believed was possible. "Even if it takes a century the only way we'll ever be able regain our honor as a clan will be to prostrate ourselves before the village, and do everything we possibly can to earn back their trust!" she said yelling by the end.
"And what exactly do you have in mind?" Fugaku asked causing everyone to look his way once more. "Mikoto there is nothing you can do-"
"SHUT UP!" Mikoto yelled flooding the area with enough to Killing Intent to kill all of the natural wildlife within a square mile of them. "Don't you dare even SPEAK TO ME! You don't get to talk, you've lied to me enough as it is!" she screamed.
"Enough!" barked Okami causing Mikoto to ease off on the Killing Intent, once things had seemed to calm down enough the large man spoke. "Now is not the time for this, we have other pressing matters that need to be taken care of first." Looking over to the disgraced Uchiha Clan Head, Okami could hardly contain the growl in his voice as he addressed the man. "Fugaku Uchiha, by the order of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure. You are hereby under arrest for crimes too numerous to even mention, surrender now or face my wrath." he said his voice becoming beastial as his fangs and claws elongated to an intimidating degree, as this happened the same could be said for his two wolf companions whose eyes seemed to almost glow in the night.
"No…." Fugaku responded, a dark shadow covering his eyes. Looking back up everyone could see that his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was now active, this caused everyone to be put on guard not knowing what to expect next. " I'm not going anywhere with you, you're just going to have to kill me because I'll be damned if I'm going to sit through any sort of trial when we all know what the outcome is going to be anyway! At least I can die fighting with some dignity!" he roared.
This only caused Okami to smile. "I had hoped for nothing less…."
*Commencing with the one fight that I have been waiting since the beginning of this fucking story to write! Enjoy! XD
On an unspoken cue both of Okami's nin dogs Akela and Kato dashed forward at near Jounin level speeds, jumping into the air they both began spinning quickly turning into twin water drills that headed right for Fugaku. Not wasting time with hand signs Fugaku quickly breathed fire from his mouth into his hands, supercharging the fire with chakra he then extended both hands in opposite directions towards the incoming drills and let loose his attack. As Fugaku's Katon jutsu collided with the two water drills it seemed to stall the attacking nin dogs despite their elemental advantage, however both canines meerley continued to spin and as they did so their Suiton variant Tsuga began to display its unique advantage. Thanks to Okami revolutionizing all of his clan's techniques and jutsus by creating not only elemental variants for already existing jutsu but also creating many many more original jutsus, the might and sheer versatility of the Inuzuka Clan had skyrocketed like nothing anyone had ever seen. And when it came to such jutsus as the Tsuuga, Gatsuga, and the Garuga, Okami had made sure to create a variant of the jutsus for each nature element. By adding an element to the jutsus it easily made the overall power of the jutsu jump up an entire rank, making the standard C rank Tsuuga easily grow in power to a B rank jutsu. And on top of that due to the elemental chakra being used it had unseen benefits that augmented the clan jutsu even further, which lead to far greater versatility for clan members and their partners.
The Katon variant surrounded the user in a large piercing drill of fire that generated massive amounts of heat, that alone could cook an opponent even if they managed to avoid being directly hit with the jutsu. The Fuuton variant not only allowed the user to drill through the air at a much faster speed but the cutting Fuuton chakra would devastate whatever the drill struck, while at the same time anything within 15 ft. of the jutsu would be cut up my dozens of wind blades generated from the jutsu. Meanwhile the Doton variant was the slowest of the elemental variants being the same speed as the regular clan jutsus, however it made up for its lack of speed by not only protecting the user from practically anything but also dealt massive amounts of blunt force damage. This made it a favorite of some within the clan how managed to make it into the Konoha Demolition Corps, as they were able to use it to smash through anything with impunity. When it came to the Raiton variant it was a far different story as it was hands down fastest of all, turning the user and his/her nin dog into streaking drills of pure lightning. It was also discovered that the Raiton variant gave them the added bonus of generating enough electricity to shock anyone within 15 ft. of the jutsu, momentarily paralyzing them. And finally the Suiton variant which could potentially be the most devastating and destructive, was unique in that by initially spitting water from your mouth while spinning and generating Suiton chakra to create a very large water drill. The jutsu didn't stop there as it would eventually begin to literally draw water from the air itself much like how the Second Hokage was able to, and from there the new water would spin around the Suiton drill acting like a large mobile maelstrom that would pull victims in towards the drill. But what was worse was that as long as the user and his partner continued to spin and supply the jutsu with chakra, the more and more water they could generate potentially leading to creating literal tsunamis. This had been confirmed when Okami had done the same such thing during his three on one fight against the Sannin, and so this is the effect that began to appear as Akeela and Kato's Suiton Tsuugas quickly gained more powerful and gained ground against Fugaku's Katon attack.
As Fugaku looked back and forth between the two oncoming attacks he knew he would have to make a move soon other than his stalling tactic, looking for where Okami might be he received his answer when he found the man standing off to the side blazing through hand signs. But before Fugaku could do anything two massive clawed hands covered in what appeared to be claws of Fuuton chakra, shot up out of the ground from beneath Fugaku and gripped him tightly around his shins and ankles. Fugaku bit back the scream that threatened to rip through him as he felt what had to belong a Shadow Clone's jutsu cut deeply into his flesh, knowing all too well of Okami's patented elemental claw jutsus Fugaku prepared to Substitute out of there but it was too late.
"Raiton: Electromagnetic Murder!" Okami called out before slamming his clawed hands onto the ground, obscene amounts of cackling Raiton chakra tore through the ground traveling towards the disgraced Uchiha. As it struck the sheer volume of water that had been generated from Akeela and Kato's Tsuugas had all but completely surrounded Fugaku, as the electricity made contact with the Suiton jutsus it danced around him what could only be described as a truly breathtaking display before electrocuting him. With the three way attack now making contact with Fugaku the man was struck from all sides at once as he was swept up and battered, by a small tsunami of water that had been supercharged with enough electricity to power most of the lights in Konoha. As this was happening Fugaku's eyes pulsed with power despite the massive amounts of damage he was personally taking, when all was said and done the water had dispersed leaving a very soggy clearing with only Fugaku lying on his side in the middle of it. As all of those who were gathered to watch jumped down from the tree branches that they had been watching, meanwhile Okami merely cracked his neck before holding up his hand motioning for the rest to halt. Whatever they might have had to say died in their throats as Fugaku began laughing as he slowly got back up from the ground, as electricity sporadically cackled around him he looked back towards his opponent grinning.
"Hehehehe…..gotta hand it to you mutt, you don't fuck around." he sneered as he quickly pulsed Raiton chakra throughout his body in order to purge it of the electricity's effects. "Now that we've kicked this off on the right foot what do you say we liven things up a little?" he asked mockingly gaining a grim smile from his opponent. Hiking his sleeves up it was noticed that on his left arm he revealed not only a Summoning Tattoo which most likely belonged to his Crow Summons, but another smaller Storage Seal Tattoo on the underside of his wrist. Placing his right hand over the tattoo underneath his wrist he pulsed some chakra into it and in a poof of smoke a large weapon appeared in hand, it was a weapon that Fugaku had used in all of his missions since he had become a Chunin at the age of 10 and in the Third Shinobi War. It was a large double bladed sword that could also double as a spear if needed, the blades where wide and thick extending 2.5 ft. each while the handle alone was 4 ft. in length. With a minotaur skull them in the decorations it was a very fearsome weapon, giving the weapon a few swings Fugaku easily slid into a readied stance while Okami did the same.(think the weapon that Theseus wielded in God of War 2, just google image it.) Disappearing into a pair of blurs both combatants began tearing up the surrounding landscape as they did battle, matching one another blow for blow. For most of the ANBU watching it was a first time experience seeing two powerful masters of their craft cut loose, as most had only ever heard stories about the two men who could both easily have become Hokage if they desired. As Fugaku and Okami battled it was clear to everyone that while both were an even match in pure speed and maneuverability, Okami was hands down the more physically powerful of the two as each swing of his chained Cerberus Claws would strike like a meteor. However Fugaku had chosen wisely in his weapon of choice as he was not only able to keep Okami at a distance whenever it suited him, but getting in close he could perform lightning fast stabs and broad sweeping slashes as well as easily deflect or redirect anything that came his way. This coupled with the advantages of his Sharingan blazing in its Eternal Mangekyo form meant that he could see everything that was about to come his way and react accordingly, this lead to what most of the people watching on would later describe as the most breathtaking stalemate they had ever seen between an unstoppable force and an immovable object. Breaking off neither opponent appeared to be winded as they quickly stashed their weapons on magnetic strips that ran along the backs of their flack jackets, after both completed hand signs they called out their respective Jutsus.
"Katon: Searing Migraine!" Fugaku yelled before spitting out a massive stream of fire that traveled along the ground towards Okami.
"Suiton: Gatsuga!" Okami roared before he and Akeela both spun through the air turning into large water drills, meeting the massive inferno head on they drilled right through the center of the jutsu. As they punched through it was clear to everyone that Okami's other nin dog Kato hadn't been idle, having burrowed through the ground only to shoot up from behind Fugaku and sink his teeth and claws into the man. What was more was that the large wolf had channeled large amounts of Katon chakra to his teeth and claws, causing second degree burns wherever teeth and claw met vulnerable flesh.
Cancelling his jutsu while still in mid air Okami spun around whilst bringing his chained hook blades out, with a single swing both caught Fugaku before he could mount a defense. While the blades luckily didn't pierce his flesh due to their angle, the sheer force of the impact guaranteed a few broken ribs. With Fugaku hooked he was then swung through the air as Okami landed on his feet, after being swung through multiple trees he was then flung high up into the air before being brought back down to the earth for a second time that night. As the dust quickly settled Fugaku burst into smoke revealing a dead ANBU that he had substituted with, before Okami could react he began to see his world turn pitch black before finding himself in another world. As he witnessed the change in scenery he saw every single one of Fugaku's assaults play out before his eyes, and with them came all of the sensations that the disgraced Uchiha had delighted in. Knowing that he was in a Genjutsu he quickly formed a ram sign and dispelled the illusion, which was luckily just in time for him to whip around and block an overhead axe kick from his opponent. Fugaku not even letting the fact that his genjutsu had been dispelled faze him kicked off of Okami's arms, as soon as his feet touched the ground he engaged Okami in Taijutsu all the while channeling large amounts of Raiton chakra to his fists and feet. Okami noticing this quickly did something similar using a jutsu that he had created to be used by either his clan members or their nin dogs, covering his fingers in large claws made out of Raiton chakra the two of them went at it. Back and forth the two of them went both showing just how different their respective Taijutsu styles were, as well as just how much skill they possessed with them. Using his clan's style the Interceptor Fist, Fugaku had augmented it many years ago for himself by learning how to quickly load elemental chakra into all of his strikes. This coupled with the predictive abilities of his Sharingan allowed Fugaku to react in time to all of Okami's attacks, launching into perfect precise counters for everything that came his way as he went toe to toe with the massive man. But what frustrated him was that Okami was fighting him with his eyes closed relying fully on his other senses, which meant that Fugaku wouldn't be able to catch Okami in any sort of Sharingan Genjutsu in such short quarters. But what truly angered the already frustrated Uchiha was the natural aspects of Okami's Taijutsu style, which were so random and yet fluid that even with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan active Fugaku couldn't find anything resembling a pattern of attack. The Inuzuka's had truly perfected their clan Taijutsu style to be unpredictable, which only proved to him that they were once again at a stalemate. Growling Fugaku quickly broke off the engagement by jumping back to gain some distance, dodging Okami's nin dogs as he did so. Grabbing his double bladed sword from his back he spun it around channeling Raiton and Katon chakra to both blades, as the weapon flared to life in his hands his eyes pulsed with power.
"Hijutsu: Hound Claw!" Okami roared as he charge at Fugaku, his left hand brought back for a strike. Seeing this Fugaku jumped back just in time to dodge the attack as Okami's clawed hand struck where he had been standing, a massive crater was created as dust and chunks of earth were sent flying. Seeing how the destruction was comparable to what Tsunade could dish out when enraged, Fugaku quickly activated the next part of his strategy.
"Gosutozon…." and with that the entire clearing was flooded with what could only be considered a negative version of the world around them, as if they were in a large black bubble that prevented them from leaving. As this happened everyone who was caught in the jutsu appeared to be only capable of moving, moving so slow it looked like they were playing a children's game. As they all attempted to move to safety Fugaku couldn't help the laugh that ripped through him, turning around he saw his wife Mikoto who looked like she was in the middle of making a break to safety having just turned around. As he walked over to her he noticed how several of the other Shinobi Councilmembers were all stuck in the process of either trying to escape or cast a jutsu of their own, even Okami's nin dogs were still spinning through the air just in extreme slow motion. Stepping in front of his wife Fugaku allowed himself a brief moment of weakness as he stopped to look at her, his eyes memorizing the worried and hurt look that her face wore. At this moment she looked more vulnerable than he had ever seen her, as the grief began to eat away at him he paid no mind to the tears that fell freely down his cheeks. Cupping the side of her face he place the softest most tender kiss he could muster on her lips, pouring all of his emotion into it and transfering all of his feelings into her so that she knew just how sorry he was. As this happened Fugaku was likewise racked with the memories and emotions that he received from his wife, each new emotion like another twist of the knife in his heart as he became intimately aware of just how betrayed the love of his life felt.
"Are you done?" came a deep gruff voice from several yards off, like a bucket of ice water being dumped on him Fugaku whipped around. What he saw shocked him to his core as there stood Okami Inuzuka with his Claws of Cerberus in hand, the hooked blades glowing with the same unholy purple light that they were infamous for.
"H-How?!" Fugaku gasped.
"Let's just say that the story behind these magnificent blades holds more water than you would think." Okami replied as he used one of the blades to casually scratch his cheek.
"Huh…..no kidding…" Fugaku muttered. "Well then I guess I'll just have to aim my next attack where it will do the most damage…" he snarled as he whipped around and threw his weapon which was still loaded with elemental chakra like a spear. As Okami moved for the flying weapon he tracked its trajectory and snarled when he realized that it was heading to impale his mate Tsume, not having any real time or choice as Fugaku cancelled his jutsu Okami did the only thing he could. Tsume for herself was confused as she suddenly found herself in her husband's arms, looking up she saw blood streaming down from the sides of his mouth. Looking down she saw Fugaku's sword sticking out of his gut, before she could even react Okami reached around with his free hand and yanked the weapon out of his body before tossing it to the ground.
"Okami-kun!" she cried as she found her voice.
"Don't worry my little Lupa, I'll survive." Okami said reasurredly, whipping around he caught a kick from Fugaku and then promptly slammed him on the ground. Not letting go Okami roared and began to repeatedly slame the Uchiha on the ground like a rag doll, before spinning around and throwing him though the air only to land in a tumbling heap. Cracking his neck Okami bit back a growl as his partners Akeela and Kato ran up and chomped down on each of his forearms, something that caught almost everyone off guard.
"What the devil?!" Hiruzen exclaimed upon seeing this, a sentiment that everyone gathered shared having no idea why such loyal companions would behave in such a way.
"Sweetheart? Does this mean what I think it means?" Tsume asked worriedly.
"Hai my Lupa it does." Okami replied, looking back towards Fugaku who was visibly perplexed he answered. "It's a special Medical Ninjutsu that I created for my clan, one that only works between an Inuzuka and their partner. When one is injured the other bites down into that one's body and channels healing chakra through their teeth into the other's body, working together they both increase the volume of chakra being used in the jutsu while also remaining in control of it. I only just recently added it to my clan's scroll after perfecting it, it's named Kiba after my son." he explained calmly.
"And what makes you think that I'm going to just sit back and allow you to heal yourself?!" spat Fugaku as he began building up large amounts of chakra.
"Because I'm already healed." Okami answered simply as both of his nin dogs removed their maws from his arms, and began to affectionately lick the blood off of him.
"Well it's been fun but I think it's time to end this." Fugaku said as he became surrounded in dark blue chakra which quickly took shape as a large spectral warrior around him. "Susano." he said as more chakra was fed to the jutsu which caused it to further solidify going through what appeared to be various stages, starting off as a skeleton it quickly grew muscles and skin and eventually robed armor.
"Fugaku no!" Mikoto cried out from her vantage point next to Hiruzen and the Uchiha Elders.
"I supposed you should count yourself lucky." Fugaku casually remarked. "There's only one more stage to this jutsu that I honestly just have not been able to reach yet, the final stage to Susano is capable of easily over powering Bijuu…..lets see how you fare against this stage." he sneered as the massive chakra construct which was easily larger than most Boss Summons created a massive spear similar to the double bladed sword Fugaku preferred to wield.
"You know…..you read my mind…" Okami simply said, going through what had to be dozens of hand signs at blistering speeds he ended on the Ram sign. "Restraint Seals…..Release!" As this happened there was a brief second of pure silence before seemingly everywhere in several square miles was slammed with an overwhelming pressure, that was coming purely from Okami as he flexed his chakra to the maximum causing the earth beneath him to become destroyed leaving him standing within a very large crater. Going through more hand signs Okami called out as both of his nin dogs landed on his back. "Kinjutsu: Okami-tachi.(The Wolves)" Releasing all of the chakra that he had built up Okami momentarily blinded everyone, as everybody's vision returned they saw that Okami was not standing in the same spot anymore. But was instead floating in midair about eye level with Fugaku's Susano, alongside him were his nin dogs and what appeared to be dozens upon dozens of chakra wolves who were all howling and snarling at Fugaku.
"Hmpf, I see you finally figured out the Tsuchikage's flying ability." Fugaku acknowledged before adding snidely. "How long did it take you to do that? The last time I checked you were still throwing up every time you tried."
"Motion Sickness…..it's a bitch." Okami answered calmly. "It's actually easy considering it revolves around the Lightened Boulder Jutsu, one simply has to master it to a degree where they can effectively use it on themselves. Something that requires a deceptively large amount of control to do, which is why it's mostly only Jounin from Iwa that are seen using it."
"That's well and good but we have more pressing matters to attend to." snarled Fugaku as he moved causing his Susano to attack, bringing the massive chakra weapon bearing down on Okami who quickly dodged. Meanwhile Akela and Kato both turned into a pair of Fuuton and Katon drills and sped towards Fugaku's Susano, as the two nin dogs flew through the air they combined into one massive drill of pure white flames. Fugaku seeing this merely laughed till the drill struck the side of his Susano catching him off guard, looking down he saw that not only had the attack actually damaged his Susano but had almost gotten down to the ribs of his construct. Growling he swung around only to see both of the dogs running up one of the Susano's arms side by side, before they could do anything however Fugaku went through some hand signs and spat out a large gust of wind from the Susano's mouth. This caught the two dogs and sent them hurtling off of the arms they were running on, as they disappeared from sight Fugaku looked back towards Okami who had been analyzing the brief skirmish.
"Impressive…..not many things can stand up to flames that hot." Okami complimented.
"You're going to have to step your game up if you want to do anything other than piss me off, I can take hits like that all day." Fugaku replied with a smirk as the damage dealt to his Susano had already been repaired.
"Oh I know….that's why I brought them." Okami responded while jerking his thumb at the chakra wolves that were all floating behind him, barely even waiving his pointer finger at Fugaku he simply said one word. "Eat…." And on cue the chakra wolves all tore through the air towards Fugaku at impressive speeds, Fugaku now slightly wary of what Okami might be up to quickly made his Susano bring its massive weapon to bear on the first handful of wolves to reach him. As the massive chakra weapon collided with the group of chakra wolves, the ensuing explosion rocked his entire Susano causing it to lose balance and get knocked to the ground. Not having any time to recover the chakra wolves descended on the each wolf hammering it with one large explosion after the other, each one taking a piece of the Susano with it. After the onslaught was finished Fugaku shook his head to clear it of the ringing in his ears, meanwhile his mind was moving at the speed of light as it replayed the last several moments.
"Those wolves…..they acted like missiles. I bet if I had tried to dodge they would have simply followed me for as long was needed…" Fugaku thought as his mind shifted to not just Okami's dogs attacking him but more specifically what Okami had been doing the entire time. "When he called out his jutsu it was labeled as a Forbidden Jutsu, which would explain the power behind even one of those fucking wolves. I bet those things could easily maul a dozen shinobi each before detonating, but why didn't Okami make a move himself?" the disgraced clan head wondered as his mind replayed the part where Okami not only dodged the initial swipe from his Susano, but had also stayed back to watch his nin dogs do the fighting. As realization dawned on Fugaku he willed his Susano back onto its feet while feeding it more chakra in order to repair the damage it had received, knowing he couldn't afford to allow such a thing to happen twice he quickly went on the attack. Putting his plan into motion he pressed the attack on Okami chaining a large series of attacks with his massive chakra weapon, while at the same time paying attention to Okami's movements.
Fugaku was not disappointed to see his suspicions confirmed as Okami continued to dodge by flying through the air, as the Inuzuka did he continued to create more and more wolf missiles to pepper Fugaku. Counting on this the Susano grew an extra set of fully formed and armored arms out of its back, which then created what appeared to be several magatama beads in each hand. As the next barrage of wolf missiles began to converge on Fugaku his Susano flung the beads in a large spread shot pattern, casting them in almost all directions they detonated in midair each creating massive explosions that took the missiles with them. As the smoke cleared Fugaku sensing an incoming attack whipped his Susano around in time to have his chakra weapon deflect a colossal water drill, one that looked more like a flying tsunami than anything else. While Fugaku had been able to deflect the attack if only just barely, this didn't stop the jutsu from still dealing damage as it took all four of the Susano's arms with it.
As the drill dispersed in midair Fugaku could see Okami floating in the air alongside his nin dogs, a grim smile on the massive man's face as despite the situation could not help himself in enjoying the battle. A sentiment that Fugaku begrudgingly shared.
"You'll have to better than that!"
"So you figured out the weakness did you?" Okami asked chuckling.
"Why else would you go through such lengths to dodge and avoid direct combat?" Fugaku answered back. "You can't directly engage in combat as long as you're using that jutsu, I could see you constantly feeding it chakra to control and direct those missiles of yours as well as create new ones. Which would explain now why you spent all these years trying to master the ability of flight, you were doing it so you could cancel out that jutsu's weakness."
"Aye…..I can't tell you how many times I lost my lunch mastering flight but dammit if it wasn't worth it all along, fighting like this I could easily take on entire battalions." Okami fired back with no small amount of pride in his voice.
"Well good for you…." Fugaku retorted sarcasm clearly evident in his voice. "But I've had enough of these games, it's time we ended this once and for all!" he yelled as he began to pump obscene amounts of chakra into his Susano causing it to not only grow but to also become engulfed in black flames that somehow seemed to glow in the moonlight.
"And once again you read my mind." replied Okami as he began to weave an incredibly long string of hand signs than no one watching could keep up with.
"Fugaku noooo!" Mikoto cried out as she easily recognized what the flames that were surrounding Fugaku's Susano were, flames that continued to grow and begin to coalesce into what looked like a black sun.
"Mikoto what is it?!" Hiruzen asked sensing the urgency in the Uchiha Matriarch's voice.
"Those aren't normal flames! They're the pinnacle of Katon Release, they can't be quenched and will burn forever!" Mikoto replied worriedly as panic began to take over her.
"What?!" cried Tsume as she looked back at her long time friend. "How is that possible?!"
"They come from Hell, it's known as Ameterasu!" Mikoto answered as her Sharingan blazed into its Eternal Mangekyo form. "I also have the same ability, if you stay close to me I can keep the flames from killing us all and possibly save Okami!"
"That won't be necessary!" called out Okami much to everyone's shock, finishing his hand signs he then swung his Claws of Cerberus down to wrap around his two nin dogs before roaring at the top of his lungs. "Inuzuka Style Rare Beast Transformation: The Forbidden One!" The Inuzuka Clan Head was then engulfed in a massive explosion of smoke that spread out to cover the entire area, one that required Hiruzen and Danzo to use Fuuton jutsus in order to disperse it and when they did everyone was frozen in place by what they saw. Standing there towing over everything around it was a colossal three headed dog that was at least as large as the Kyuubi, and with a body that was covered in powerful muscles that gave it the appearance that it had more likely been carved out of a mountain.
"Wh…...What the hell is that thing?!" cried one of the ANBU having soiled himself.
"Oh...Kami no…" Tsume gasped as she looked on at the scene unfolding before her, knowing full well what this meant.
As Fugaku finished his preparations he looked back at his adversary who had turned into something that belonged in a PTSD inducing nightmare, growling he called out what his jutsu. "Black Sun!" he roared as his Susano hefted what truly looked like a black sun of hell fire, that was easily the size of a boss summon forward as he charged forward.
"Five Elements All Consuming Fang!" the now bestial voice of Okami roared out from all three heads as it spun through the air, as it did so it quickly generated all five of the elements of nature into one large drill. As this happened the different elements spun around one another before almost seamlessly combining with one another, the end result being a colossal drill that appeared to have all of the colors of the rainbow within it. As the two attacks met head on Mikoto quickly gathered everyone that she could close to her before covering them in her purple Susano, an act that saved all of their lives from the resulting fallout. As the two jutsus clashed they struggled for dominance over the other as neither side gave even an inch, which resulted in a massive crater being formed underneath the two opposing shinobi as they both attempted to gain the upper hand. However much to Fugaku's shock and horror Okami's jutsu began to drill and eat its way through his attack, causing all of the Ameterasu flames that he had collected and compressed to disperse covering both his Susano as well as Okami's jutsu in hell fire as it struck home. The resulting explosion created a blinding white light that lit up the night sky as well as the surrounding countryside, for what seemed like an eternity no one could see anything nor hear anything except for the all consuming ringing in their ears and blinding light. As everyone slowly came to they began look around at the destruction that was surrounding them through the still erected Susano, as they did they noticed Mikoto wheezing and gasping for air as she quickly dispersed the Susano and sank to the ground. Only to be helped back up by Tsume and Jiraiya, as they looked around for any signs of the two shinobi they saw Fugaku emerge from the dispersing smoke, much to their surprise he appeared to be almost completely unscathed. As they saw him lightly panting for air in the distance, they quickly noted that something was off in his appearance. As Fugaku began to look around the area for Okami who seemed to have disappeared, they saw how his right eye was completely milky white.
"Izanagi…." Mikoto said as she regained her breath.
"What are you talking about?" asked Jiraiya as he continued to study Fugaku.
"It's a Forbidden Jutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan…..it allows you to completely remove the boundaries between reality and illusion for a short time within your personal space. While active…...a user can rewrite anything that has happened from injuries to even death, back during the Warring States Period it was normal for those in my clan to use the jutsu to bring themselves back to life during battle." explained Mikoto as she straightened back up, letting out a deep breath she continued. "Some users would even expand the range of the jutsu as far as they could, so that they could also bring back as many of their fallen kinsmen back to life with them and turn the tide of entire battles."
"Dear kami…." said Hiruzen as his mind raced through all of the implications of such a jutsu.
"It's not without a price however…." said Ozai as he stood next to his daughter-in-law. "Anyone who uses the jutsu will forever go blind in one of their eyes, losing the ability to see or even wield their Sharingan. So should one possess the Mangekyo then they would lose whatever abilities they had with that particular eye forever."
"So that slimy bastard cheated death at the cost of one of his eyes?" asked Tsume immediately regretting it having seen Mikoto wilt. "Miko….I'm sorry I-"
"Don't worry Tsume-chan…." Mikoto said cutting her friend off, despite her eyes tearing up.
Whatever was going to be said between the two kunoichi was interrupted however as they all heard a scream, looking over to the source they saw Fugaku who had both of his legs pinned by both of Okami's nin dogs who had bitten down deep into his legs. Before the disgraced Uchiha could even attempted to remove them Okami made his presence known as he jumped out from the surrounding smoke, with a roar the showed off a mouth full of razor sharp teeth Okami bit down deep into Fugaku's left arm. The scream that followed was one that would haunt most of the gathered shinobi for the rest of their lives, with a brutal and vicious jerk Okami ripped off Fugaku's arm just above the elbow. An act that caused Fugaku to be thrown overhead several feet through the air, landing roughly Fugaku rolled a few more feet before coming to a stop. Still screaming in utter agony Fugaku rolled around in the dirt for several seconds before forcing himself to calm down as much as possible, still gasping for air he fished a kunai out of one of his holsters with his remaining hand.
Biting down on the handle Fugaku covered his right hand in fire and pressed it to the stump, the former Uchiha Clan Head let out a strangled yell as he cauterized the wound. Looking back to his enemy he saw Okami was cleaning himself off as best as he could, while both of his nin dogs had already chomped down on both of his legs. Getting a better look at the Inuzuka, Fugaku could see that the large man was healing at a good pace as many of the burns and wounds that he had suffered from their last clash were slowly disappearing. Though with a quick flash of his Sharingan Fugaku discovered that Okami seemed to be running about as low on chakra as he was, taking stock of his options Fugaku knew that he stood no chance as things were now. The only reason why he was even alive at this point was because Okami had needed his partners to heal him after biting Fugaku's arm off, as things stood fighting against a physically recovered Okami in his condition was suicide. Reaching into his shinobi pouch Fugaku fished out a blood pill to replace all of the blood he had lossed, gulping it down quickly he then fished out all of the chakra pills he had on hand. With a groan Fugaku rolled over onto his right side and with some difficulty pushed himself up off the ground, the chakra pills still clenched in his fist. Fugaku knew he had lost and that his only option now was to either let himself be captured, continue to fight to the death, or cut his losses and retreat. With a growl Fugaku brought his hand up and swallowed all of the chakra pills he had, as he immediately felt the effects of the pills kick in he glared over at Okami who had finished healing himself.
Going through one handed hand signs as best as he could Fugaku slammed his hand down on the ground as he called out his jutsu. "Summoning Jutsu!" In an explosion of smoke that hid him from sight, it didn't take long for everyone to see a large object shoot out of the smoke and into the air. Standing on the back of a massive crow everyone could see Fugaku trying to wrap the stump where his left arm used to be in bandages, as the crow flapped its wings to hover in the air it cocked its head around looking at the destroyed landscape.
"What the devil happened here?! Fugaku what's going on?!" the Crow Boss cawed as he craned his neck to look over his shoulder at his summoner, only to look Fugaku in the eye.
"Silence Jacken….and Obey!" Fugaku screamed as he quickly subdued his summons with a Sharingan based genjutsu, his remaining Eternal Mangekyo blazing.
"You would stoop that low?!" roared Hiruzen in anger not believing what he had just seen.
"Fugaku you bastard!" screamed Jiraiya as all of those gathered gave voice to how they felt about what they had just seen.
"You're a disgrace to the Uchiha!" spat Ozai, Miho, and Kaho almost simultaneously.
"How could you?!" cried Tsume who was holding a now sobbing Mikoto.
"Is there anything you won't do?!"
"Hell as a special place for you!"
"SHUT UP!" roared Fugaku as he rounded on all of them. "I don't give a damn what you or anyone else thinks of me! I will do what I want, when I want, and to whomever I want, whenever I damn well please! Now be consumed by OBLIVION!" the now deranged Uchiha screamed as his left Mangekyo pulsed with power. As Fugaku continued to dump chakra into his jutsu something began to appear before him and his summons, quickly taking shape it looked like a clear diamond shaped chakra construct.
"Prometheus Lense" Fugaku called out as he began to build up as much chakra as he could while going through one handed signs, something which took time for him to do. Noticing the directions that the large chakra construct was pointed at Okami quickly Shunshinned to in front of Hiruzen and the others, forming an hand he and his dogs quickly returned to their Cerberus Form. Snarling up at Fugaku Okami quickly began to build up as much of his chakra as they could for whatever it was that was coming their way, as this happened more and more black flames appeared only to fly into the chakra lense in obscene amounts. Meanwhile the Crow Boss began to flap his powerful wings whilst generating massive amounts of Fuuton chakra, causing what looked like miniature tornados to also fly into the large lense. After a few moments of this the large lense was glowing an unholy blackish purple causing Fugaku to smirk as he looked down at his former comrades, taking out a kunai he slashed his headband before addressing Okami.
"Let's see if you can drill through this you bastard!" Fugaku yelled before forming the hand sign for release. "Kai!"
"Five Elements All Consuming Fang!" Okami roared as he once again activated his jutsu, taking off toward the flames as a pure white drill.
As the two attacks met both created a massive crater beneath them kicking up dust, rocks and debris, as both opponents struggled for dominance once more. As both attacks continue to struggle for dominance, it seemed like Okami's massive drill was being pushed back at a steady pace, only for it to surge forward and gain more ground. This continued for several minutes as both opponents attacks went back and forth, gaining and losing ground on one another with neither truly gaining the upper hand. As time went on however Fugaku's attack began to waiver and lessen as not only was he fast running out of chakra, but was running out of flames as the massive drill he was battling seemed to be eating the Ameterasu flames themselves. As this happened Okami's jutsu rapidly gained ground till it was almost on top of Fugaku and his summons, before the drill could break through the massive Prometheus Lense, Fugaku quickly had his summon veer off to the side as he deactivated the jutsu. This act alone saved his life as the colossal drill sped past him only to disperse hundreds of feet in the air, revealing a tired and worn out Okami holding onto both of his now dead wolf companions.
As he floated in midair for a few moments Okami's eyes locked onto the retreating form of Fugaku as he made his escape heading North, letting out a low growl he slowly lowered himself back to the ground in the center of the crater that he had made. As fatigue quickly began to take over he did a single hand sign before channeling the chakra into his weapons, as this happened a single shadow clone appeared next to him. Quickly taking the Claws of Cerberus from Okami the Shadow Clone quickly left just as Hiruzen and the others arrived, as this happened Okami felt even more exhausted as he collapsed to one knee.
"Okami-kun!" shouted Tsume as she rushed to her mate's side, only for him to collapse to the ground on his side.
"Don't say anything and just rest, we'll have a Medic Nin patch you up." said Jiraiya as he finished dispatching a pair of ANBU to fetch help.
"Haaaaa…..won't…..do any good…" wheezed Okami as Tsume rested his head on her lap.
"Don't talk like that you're going to be fine." Mikoto assured.
"No….he won't." answered Tsume sadly causing several alarms to go off in the heads of those gathered.
"What are you talking about?" Hiruzen asked seriously.
"That Jutsu he used…...it comes at the price of the user's life. It's as one hundred percent lethal as using all of the Eight Gates, but in return you're able to drill through anything and as you do the jutsu will literally consume the chakra of any opposing attack." Tsume explained as she gently stroked Okami's head as the man seemed to be slowly falling asleep.
"No…" Mikoto gasped as tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Fuck." swore Jiraiya and Hiruzen.
"I….love you….Tsume…." Okami said softly as his eyes slowly began to close for the last time, a peaceful smile on his face as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"Okami No!" Tsume cried as she clutched her husband and held him close to her chest, not being able to maintain her composure anymore the infamously proud woman broke down crying. As this happened everyone stood in silence, as those who knew Tsume best tried to say something to comfort the grieving woman.
"Jiraiya…" Hiruzen spoke softly as he pulled his student along with Danzo off to the side. " Send out the word to every single Shinobi Village and every single nation, that Fugaku is now an S class criminal with a kill on sight order. I want him listed in every single Bingo book in the world, with a bounty of 150 million."
"I'll leave immediately to hunt him down as well, I can get in touch with my spy Network and have them keep an eye out for him." said Jiraiya grimly.
"Good see to it that you do just that, Danzo I want you to have your operatives the spread out to every nation. We we can't allow him even a minute to breathe, giving him even an inch will allow him to take several miles." instructed Hiruzen. " I don't want Fugaku to be able to create any aliases or fake passports, he's probably going to head to one of the out posts to receive emergency medical attention under the guise of being on a mission."
"Way ahead of you Hiruzen." Said Danzo before dispelling in a puff of smoke revealing to be a Shadow Clone.
" *sigh*... figures…." Hiruzen ground while rubbing his temples to stave off a headache. Looking back to where Jiraiya was he saw that his student was already gone having left to hunt down Fugaku, turning back to those that were still gathered Hiruzen strode forward already planning his next move.
Late December, seven and a half months later
The shinobi world had been rocked to its core after the news about what happened back in April became public, for a long time nobody could believe it and some didn't want to. The news that Fugaku Uchiha, one of the most feared and respected men in the world was the serial rapist known as 'The Ghost' spread like wildfire in a matter of weeks. By the end of the first month the entire world knew the story, especially in regards to the massive battle that had ensued between Fugaku and Okami Inuzuka. The news of Okami's death alone was just as hard to believe as no one believed that the 'Titan of Konoha' could be killed, and what was more was that war had almost broken out once again. After Fugaku's escape, but before word had gotten out about what had happened, all of the other nation's had noticed a colossal mobilization of Konoha's shinobi forces that were being sent out in all directions. Almost all of the other nations and their respective shinobi villages had believed that Konoha was going to war with the world till they found out what was really going on, after holding a summit meeting with most of the Daimyo and kages Hiruzen had explained what had happened. And from there the largest manhunt in known history began, with all of the other villages and nations agreeing to help thanks to Hiruzen's brilliant political skills.
It was discovered that Fugaku had indeed gone to one of the farthest shinobi outposts to receive emergency medical attention, as expected Fugaku had given the shinobi there on duty a false story about being on mission. Telling the staff there that he was returning from an S rank mission gone wrong and that he needed to hurry back to Konoha to report in, Fugaku had even ordered the Jounin in charge of the outpost to send a Priority Black scroll via messenger hawk to the Hokage so that he knew to expect him. It was a brilliant lie that worked perfectly given the condition Fugaku was in when he had arrived, looking like he had just left a massive battle field. The shinobi were horrified when they heard from the Hokage himself that Fugaku was a traitor and was the serial rapist 'The Ghost', the sheer fact that they had done their best to help him had left them pale and sick to their stomachs. Afterwards Fugaku wasn't spotted for some months before a pair of Jiraiya's toads managed to spot him sneaking across the border into Fang Country from Wind Country, having apparently decided to cease hiding in the desert and change locations. This led to a large chase into Bear Country and then across almost the entire breadth of Earth Country, which ended in another battle at the border of Waterfall and Grass Country with Danzo's Root shinobi where Fugaku was once again able to escape.
As this was all going on things were anything but well in Konoha, as thanks to Fugaku the honor and reputation of the Uchiha name was completely tarnished. It was as the Uchiha Elders had predicted as up till then the entire village had truly began to trust and open up to their clan since Madara's betrayal, but after it was revealed what Fugaku had done most clansmen could not even walk outside in the streets. The Uchiha Police Force had been shut down and all of its members had to be questioned and interrogated by Ibiki and Inoichi, all of whom had every aspect of their minds and memories thoroughly examined. From their things began to deteriorate as the Uchiha Clan became outcasts that were openly shunned by all, and what made it worse was the sheer fact that none of its members could even blame the villagers. Not even the most prideful of the clan could do anything other than bite their tongues in silence, finding nothing that they could possibly say to the villagers for what their own Clan Head had done to them all. After six months of this the village was once again shell shocked by something the Uchiha had done, only this time what the clan itself did left the village speechless and in awe. It was around 5:30 am in the morning on the anniversary of Naruto's torture and rape, now six years later on what is the Hanyou's 11th birthday the entire village went into high alert as a massive fire on top of the Hokage Monument broke out. All along the massive stone heads the fire could easily be seen from any point in the village, after first responders arrived to fight the fire they were shocked by what they discovered. The cause of the fire wasn't part of some malevolent plot but was instead countless bodies, 175 men and women between the age of 15 and 80 including the Uchiha Elders.
It was a mass suicide which a third of the Uchiha Clan had committed in order to attempt to restore the honor of their clan, by choosing ritual suicide with the very flames they were famous for wielding. Everyone was stunned to discover this as well as a scroll sitting on a stone pedestal on top of the Fourth Hokage's Head, detailing no only the names of those who had volunteered but why they had done it. That it was a decision that the entire clan had chosen in order to atone for what their former leader had done, and so were severely weakening their clan and putting themselves at the mercy of the village. The surprises didn't stop there however when later that day Mikoto Uchiha handed over the Uchiha Clan Scroll to Hiruzen, a scroll containing all of their knowledge including the secrets of their Sharingan. After leaving a stunned Hiruzen in his office, Mikoto walked into the Inuzuka Compound to present a similar scroll to Tsume who was now the Inuzuka Matriarch. This lead to the two estranged life long friends embracing as Tsume informed Mikoto how she didn't blame her for what happened, and how she still considered Mikoto her sister. This shocked Mikoto as she was all but confident she'd never be able to mend her relationship with Tsume, she was further floored when all of the Inuzuka gathered there in the clan courtyard named her an Honorary Inuzuka. Signifying her as part of the pack and that despite what had happened the Inuzuka would stand by Mikoto and the Uchiha clan, not even in Mikoto's wildest dreams had she thought things would go like this.
After knews of the Inuzuka's declaration of the Uchiha as their friends spread throughout the village, along with what Mikoto had handed over to both the Hokage and the Inuzuka, things miraculously calmed down in the village. With the spectacle that the Uchiha had made during their mass suicide to top off all of the great lengths they had gone through, most if not all within the village began to see their clan more as the victim in all of this. The sheer fact that one of if not the most prideful clan in the world was going to such lengths to show they were nothing like their disgraced former Clan Head, had struck a massive cord with the village. Leading to many villagers apologizing to the Uchiha for how they had treated them over the past several months, it was not easy for many after everything had come to light and for others they would understandably be unable to move on from what Fugaku had done. But slowly it looked as if the massive rift that Fugaku had created between his clan and the village was being mended, as once burned bridges were being rebuilt.
Somewhere in Northern River Country, near a familiar hideout
Fugaku groaned as he rested up against a tree having cleared the area of snow and now enjoying a very rare moment of comfort and relaxation, he had seldom an opportunity to rest for more than a few hours nowadays. After he had received medical attention at that outpost he had quickly climbed back onto his summon Jacken, who was still under the effects of his genjutsu, and fled before anyone could ask him anymore questions. Afterward it had been one massive shit storm for him as he quickly discovered that not only was Konoha moving heaven and earth to find him, but surprisingly enough they had the aid and cooperation of damn near every single nation and village! Personally Fugaku was simply grateful that it had only been a platoon of Root ANBU that he had faced after being cornered at the Waterfall/Grass Country borders, and not anyone more substantial like Jiraiya or kami forbid Tsume. It was well known that Tsume was only weaker than her husband in terms of ninjutsu because she had only mastered 4 of the 5 elements, and quite possibly the LAST thing Fugaku wanted was to face down a vengeful wife looking for her pound of flesh. Especially given his current situation which was dire to say the least given his only recently recovered wounds, looking down he inspected his artificial arm. He still couldn't believe his luck at the turn of events regarding it, he had decided to hide out in Wind Country for a spell so that way he could let some of the heat die out when he had stumbled onto a hidden base of sorts. After looking around and inspecting some of the notes that were there, Fugaku had discovered that he was in one of the personal workshops of the infamous Missing Nin Sasori of the Red Sands. Who to this day had not only completely evaded capture for over 20 years but was also the most gifted Puppet Master alive, thinking quickly Fugaku had decided that while he was there that he would make use of Sasori's workshop. Suna had always been known for being able to easily replace entire lost limbs with puppet based ones that ran on chakra, they were also the only ones who even knew how to safely do this.
After activating his sharingan Fugaku got to work reading through everything he could get his hands…..er….. hand on, using his dojutsu to completely memorize everything he read, within a week he was able to begin creating a new arm to replace the one he had lost. After figuring out how to attach the prosthetic arm Fugaku began working on its design, knowing full well that by now everyone knew he was missing an arm he wouldn't need to worry about hiding that fact. So instead Fugaku went for a design that was meant purely for functionality and combat, the prosthetic arm came with two retractable 2.5 foot long double edged blades. Which were housed in the top of the forearm and extended forward, but could retract back into the arm when not in use. With both blades set side by side of one another, it actually reminded Fugaku of a series of alien movies that was popular before the Kyuubi had attacked. It also came with a unique looking launcher that shot poison gas pellets out of the underside of the forearm, then only other thing added to the arm was along the top of the arm just above the duel blades. It was a reinforced armor plating with seals inscribed over it that could not only act as a means of blocking incoming weapon attacks, but if Fugaku channeled chakra through the seals then they would generate a round chakra shield 3 feet in diameter. All in all Fugaku was very pleased with the results despite the fact that he had need of a prosthetic to begin with, after training with it to grow accustomed with it he could now understand why so many Suna puppeteers that he had fought would often be so proud of their artificial limbs. Having faced plenty of them in the last shinobi war he had quickly grown to respect them and their craft, as they had given him nothing but sweet hell throughout the entirety of the war.
Shaking his head from his musings he stood back up having rested enough, looking up to the sun in order to gauge the time of day Fugaku figured he had a solid 5 hours of daylight left before I would need to break for camp. He should be near the Southern border of River Country by then and from there he can catch a boat to Tea Country, and as long as he stays off the radar then he'll be able to book passage with the next ship leaving Degarashi Port for either Demon or Marsh Country. As Fugaku took a step forward he froze mid step as his senses went haywire, decades of battle tested instincts all began screaming at him to run. Quickly looking around the seasoned Uchiha felt the most powerful sense of dread coming over him unlike anything he'd experienced in his life, as the seconds quickly ticked by Fugaku began to search more and more frantically for whatever it was that was making him react this way. Thinking quickly he formed the Ram seal and pulsed his chakra only to discover that whatever this was was no Genjutsu, as his mind raced Fugaku came to the only conclusion that he needed to flee as all of his fight or flight reflexes were on red alert. As Fugaku prepared to make a break for it the temperature suddenly plummeted around him, the fresh snow that laid on the ground at his feet quickly freezing over into a pure white blanket of ice. Causing Fugaku to hop into the air lest his feet become frozen to the ground, upon landing he whipped his head around in search of the source of the phenomenon only to freeze in fear.
As there standing in the unnaturally pitch black shade of some trees was a figure staring back at him, the only distinguishable characteristics being wild untamed hair, large animalistic ears, horns, and a pair of glowing blood-red slitted eyes. As the figure stepped out of the shadows Fugaku felt true and abject horror for the first time in his life, as he came face to face with someone that he honestly never expected to ever see again. As there in broad daylight stood Naruto Uzumaki staring back at him with the largest and most sinister smile Fugaku had ever seen.
"Hello Fugaku…." Naruto said as his smile somehow grew larger revealing a mouth full of razor sharp fangs.
Aaaaaannnnnnnnddddd Done! EVILE CLIFFHANGER NO JUTSU!
