I know this is out a little late and I am sorry. I thought that over spring break I would have plenty of free time to write, but no. It isn't the fun you all are probably thinking I am having. My week has consisted of staining a fence and dentist, doctor and eye people appointments. So I have been tired and stressed on time. So here it is, the new chapter. Warning, this chapter has some battle scenes which are violent to say the least.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do this computer, so yeah...

As the morning sun rose into the sky, The Village Hidden in the Rain was being pelted with a unusually hard downpour. The clouds above had seemed to open up out of no where, letting the city have all it could handle. The streets were flooded with running water, sewers barely able to hold the sheer volume of liquid. Rain gutters spit out bursts of water at high velocity, forming streams in the alleys of the metropolis. Angry, Konan finally let up on the torrential shower and ended her jutsu. She remained though, looking out over the village.

She had failed to locate Sasuke and he had escaped. She had let him get away in their battle in the streets and she had failed to locate him. He was now a danger to her city.

"My Lady are you all right?" came a voice from behind her. "Many swore they saw you killed by Sasuke Uchiha."

"No, I escaped his black flames," the purple haired ninja said in her usual stoic manner as she turned away from the window. "When he shut his eye to call upon his Mangekyo Sharingan, I substituted myself with a shadow clone. I thought you had perished at his hands too?"

"No I was lucky enough to escape his wrath. Why a shadow clone though, and not your usual paper clone?"

"I needed to experience his Amaterasu first hand. I will no doubt see it again whether it is from Sasuke or someone much worse."

"You mean Madara my lady?"

Konan paused for a second in surprise. She was actually taken back by his answer. Quickly collecting herself, she answered him, showing no signs of surprise.

"Yes, though I am intrigued that you know so much," she said to the hooded figure who hid in the shadow. "Though I should expect no less from you Shigure Honda. Or should I call you by your nick name, Orochimaru's most dangerous snake?"

"Shigure is fine and no need to worry my lady," he said with a humble smile. "My loyalty lies with you and my home village. I will begin my search immediately."

"The city is on lockdown Shigure, no one in or out unless they are of top priority."

Shigure shook his head and bowed before leaving the room. As he descended the tower, he couldn't help but smile. His part played so perfectly and his lie undetected, it was almost to easy. He had Konan eating out of his hand.

Meanwhile Konan looked out over the city again, pondering many things to herself. The black flames of Amaterasu, where Shigure's loyalty really lay, yet none nagged her mind as much as one. Where was Madara and what was he doing now?

...

The four Leaf ninja stood in place frozen, looking at the orange masked figure in shock. Kakashi started to formulate a plan in his mind. He knew Madara could erase his existence and reappear else where. The safest bet would be to use long range ninjutsu to combat their target. But before he could speak a word of his plan, Naruto had vanished. To Kakashi's surprise, he couldn't even gage his speed with his eye. The next thing he caught sight of was Madara back pedaling, holding a partly cracked mask with Naruto's outstretched fist about five yards in front of him.

"Ha, I can hit you in sage mode," Naruto yelled as he sprang for another attack.

Madara wasn't fooled the second time as he easily caught Naruto's fist. Taking his other hand he gripped the back of Naruto's head and drove it into the ground face first. His hand remained on Naruto's scalp as he quickly rotated his wrist. A sickening sound of bones twisting and breaking filled the air. He had just broken Naruto's neck.

"I let you hit me to test out your new sage jutsu and as I predicted, it is nothing special," He spat at the paralyzed genin. "At least you won't move around so much now Nine-Tails."

Yamato quickly held his hand out, shooting wood tendrils towards his opponent. Kakashi seemingly disappeared as he moved towards his target, so much for long distance. The masked Akatsuki dodged each one of the wooden beams as Kakashi appeared behind him with his lightning blade and threw a punch at the square of Madara's back. Kakashi's hand went right through Madara's body as the slippery target spun away laughing.

"Oh come on, don't tell me that this is all Sharingan Kakashi has to offer."

Before Kakashi could recover, Madara kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into one of Yamato's wood beams. Madara then teleported past Yamato's incoming tendrils.

Sakura stood frozen at the sight of Naruto's mangled body unable to move. She felt her heart drop as he feet seemed to be planted to the ground. She couldn't move, she couldn't fight, she could barely think. What had just happened? It was so fast, it couldn't be real. Standing there, still in shock she didn't notice the ominous presents behind her till it was too late. She tried to move, but her body seemed to be traveling in slow motion. She saw the kunai on the left side of her neck travel to the right side. It seemed to move so slow as her blood squirted out, marking the path of the cut. Everything after that went blurry, then black. Her dying thoughts of the night spent in Naruto's arms.

The lifeless body of the pink haired ninja fell to its knees, then facedown in the now reddened grass. Kakashi yelled in anger as he activated his Kamui, turning the picture around Madara into a whirlpool like state. It spun fast as it concentrated on Madara's head. Right before Kakashi could actually initiate the attack, Madara countered. All of a sudden the turning stopped and everything returned to normal. Madara disappeared, only to pop up in front of Kakashi.

"I could have swore I told you that wouldn't work on me."

He grabbed the jonin's face, who screamed out in pain as his sharingan eye exploded, sending him to the ground in a heap, blood trailing from the empty socket. Madara then turned to Yamato, who sent even more tendrils at him. After his first couple where leisurely dodged, Yamato sent one from under the ground that he had planted earlier at Madara's back. The beam hit its mark, impaling Madara, who was lifted into the air.

"How... did you... of all people... get me..?"

Before Yamato could open his mouth to answer, Madara disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of Yamato's outstretched hand.

"Just Kidding."

He grabbed the wood ninja's left arm, twisting it, broke not only Yamato's forearm, but the connection to his multiple wood tendrils. Yamato screamed in pain as Madara flung him around, driving him into the earth face first while keeping a firm hold of his broken arm. Putting his foot into the back of Yamato, he pulled, separating the shoulder. Yamato signed through his screams of pain with his other hand as two tendrils with sharp ends shot at Madara's blind side in a desperation attack. The beams went right through Madara, piercing Yamato; one in the heart and the other in his kidney. Madara then teleported to Kakashi who was slowly getting to his feet. He kicked the jonin back to the ground and grabbed one of Yamato's remaining beams. The beam instantly burst into many pieces, leaving a wooden stake in Madara's hand. He then kicked Kakashi over so he laid on his back, looking up at his executioner.

"I know it sounds cliche, but any last words?"

"Sure," said the Kakashi on the ground, who then disappeared in a poof of smoke.

"Gotcha," said the real Kakashi who stood behind Madara, empty eyes socket still bleeding.

The real Kakashi activated his lightning blade as he threw a punch at Madara's vital spot. His hand traveled through his opponents body without disturbance. Madara in one motion flipped the wooden stake to face his own body, and stabbed himself in the heart. The stake traveled right through his body and impaled Kakashi's own vital spot. Spitting up blood the silver haired ninja wavered a bit, then fell to his knees, holding his fatal wound. Madara grabbed the jonin's hair and pulled it so his neck was revealed.

"To bad Sharingan Kakashi," Madara said as he brought his kunai out. "You could never quite live up to your father. Oh well, I guess you will die just like your father did, at my hands."

Kakashi's eyes grew as he looked at the orange mask, now only covering about three fourths of his opponents face. His wound all of a sudden became numb and all sound and smell seemed to cease entirely.

Madara stopped as he looked at the surprised face of his enemy. He laughed in pure bliss as he spoke to his bewildered foe.

"You always knew it wasn't suicide didn't you? Just too ashamed to question what the village told you," he said as he pulled Kakashi a little higher by his hair causing the jonin to cough up more blood. "Your father found out about my existence and plan to destroy the village. He was brilliant and even succeeded in delaying my attack. I did however make him lose credibility with the village by staging that mission. Then killed him and made it look like suicide."

Anger shot through Kakashi as he used the last of his strength to summon his Chidori. As the blue lightning began to engulf his hand he realized it was too late. Madara brought his kunai across Kakashi's throat in the same manner as he had done to Sakura moments before. The lightning ceased as everything started to fade black for Kakashi. The last thing he saw was the orange mask, with a red eye peering out from beneath it.

Kakashi awoke in a cold sweat, staring at the morning dew on the grass. He looked around to see everyone else on there hands and knees along with him, panting as if they had just awoken from the same nightmare. He could feel his hands shake in anger as tears began to fill his eyes.

"That would be the outcome if you fought me now," said a voice to behind Kakashi, bringing the ninja back to earth. "I am not here to fight, just talk. So to keep that little scene from happening, please don't do anything rash."

Madara was sitting in a wooden chair, watching the ninja's slowly regain their nerves and get to their feet. Kakashi had to do his best from throwing himself at Madara, but he knew self control was the best thing in this situation. Madara shook his head.

"My my, you all fell for my simple genjutsu," He said, almost laughing. "You guys will be no fun at all. The only person of any use was the wood jutsu user who made this fabulous chair for me, though it was me controlling him through my genjutsu..."

"Why you..."

The interruption came from Naruto, who had been the slowest to regain his wits, He now started to fill with anger. He could here the demon inside him roar as the Kyubi's cloak slowly enveloped him. The image of Sakura's death sent him into an almost blind rage. His nails and teeth grew sharp as his hair stood on edge. Three tails popped out from behind him as he set his red eyes on Madara.

"Oh, you silly demon," Madara said as he looked into Naruto's eyes. "You aren't needed here."

Without warning the cloak dissipated and Naruto fell to the ground. The group quickly surrounded him, making sure he was alright.

"What happened? I didn't use my jutsu to confine it."

"I don't see any of the Kyubi's chakra in you?"

"Are you hurt?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Naruto said angrily pointing his finger at his opponent. "It was something he did."

"Calm down, all I did was lock away the nine-tails for now," Madara said loudly as the others heads turned to him. "Now are we ready to talk?"

"What do you mean by talk," Kakashi said as he turned his back to the others. "What do you have to say?"

"What I have to say is the truth."

"The truth about what? How you supposedly killed my father?" Kakashi spat, though in his heart he could feel that Madara wasn't lying.

"No, though deep inside you know its true," the ancient Uchiha said slyly, as if he could read Kakashi's mind. "What I have to say is about Sasuke and the Uchiha Clan."

At this, Naruto got to his feet slowly, but under his own power. He stumbled a little before regaining his equilibrium. Taking a deep breath he slowly walked past Kakashi and towards Madara. He stopped a couple feet from the orange masked ninja, who slouched back lazily in his wooden chair. He looked down, straight into the Sharingan eye through the mask. It was all he could do to keep from attacking. He wanted to so badly, but he knew that this was a one time chance to get the information he so desperately wanted.

"What do you mean by the Uchiha clan..." Kakashi began to question, but Naruto held out his hand.

The wind howled through the trees and birds sang in the beautiful morning weather as if nothing was wrong. Naruto let his hand fall back to his side, but kept the connection between his and Madara's eyes. He had always, ever since Itachi had his talk with him, knew something wasn't right. The silence seemed to drag on forever before Naruto finally spoke.

"That night, you know, the one where whole Uchiha clan got wiped out. What really happened?"

Madara laughed, as he got up from his seat, walking by Naruto.

"So, Itachi took some extra precautions, just in case Sasuke didn't follow the path he wanted him to," he said as he walked around Naruto, his hand gliding around the young ninja's shoulders. "He warned you about what would happen if Sasuke followed the path I have laid out for him, didn't he?"

"So you are the reason Sasuke hate has consumed him," Naruto said as he could feel his own hate starting to surface again, this time he couldn't hold it as he began to yell. "You are the reason he left, the reason he still seeks vengeance, the reason..."

Before Naruto could react, Madara grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground.

"Yes, I am the one behind all of Sasuke's strife," he said throwing Naruto to the ground, then lazily sitting back in his chair. "And I will tell you everything, but first I must start from the beginning, from that night."

Naruto sat up, anger still boiling. He remained where he was though, knowing his silence would wield answers. Madara seeing Naruto's resolve to listen looked around at the others. They too seemed to have given him permission to speak freely.

"It all started that night, the one before mentioned," He announced to his crowd. "The night that everything was ruined for the Uchiha clan. The night I killed an entire clan single handedly and framed the one man who tried to stop me."

He paused, looking at the confused faces before him. Smiling he went on.

"That night, a battle over Sasuke's destiny began," Madara said in a calm voice. "Between me and Itachi Uchiha."

So there it is, and sorry for making Naruto and Sakura's deaths so violent, Madara is ruthless though. This is really my first intensive battle seen (even though none of it was actually real) so I didn't really know how to approach it.

As some of you have already figured out, I am not going with the whole Itachi ordered to by village to wipe out clan. I have (in my opinion) a much more interesting twist that I bet you all will love. It took me about five hours to draw out (which is a long time for me) so I am so excited to see what everyone will think. I am so excited that I am rambling about it in my author notes, which I seem to do quite a lot.

So review please. Tell me what you all thought of the battle, over all chapter and even what you think Madara will tell them next chapter. I will gladly respond to any guesses.
