Chapter Cover: The Village of Taiyoukagure in the sunset.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
The crisis in Taiyoukagure
The two starred at each other. Jack didn't know what he was feeling right now. Seeing the man that his mother had called a cunning man and a demon that walked the earth.
"Uchiha Madara," Jack said his amber eyes seemed to be glowing in the dark.
"It seems the demon blood in you has awoken," Madara said, "the very reason that the Amber Eyes were annihilated."
"You…How are you still alive after all this time?" Jack asked, "You let my mother die and the entire clan, you're worst than most scum of the earth."
Madara let out a small chuckle at that, and he looked toward Jack, showing the single hole on the mask he was wearing, a red glow could be seeing in it. A red glow with three tomoes circling it.
"That's how you greet your father Jack," Madara asked, "I've protected you ever since you came into this world and you stand here calling me scum?"
"Protected me?" Jack yelled, "You don't gave an ass about what I've become these past years, you just want to use me, just like you use my mother to create me."
"You can choose to believe me or you can choose to ignore me," Madara said, "But, this place is not the place to discuss these kinds of important things. We need a little privacy around here, unlike the one who hides in the shadows."
A ninja appeared behind Madara and he was dressed in SOLDIER clothes.
"What brings a little chap like you here?" Madara asked.
Number 00 didn't say anything as he continued to watch his target behind the masked man in the cloak, and for some reason, he knew that the man in front of him was immensely strong.
"So, the genjutsu had finally broken," Madara whispered, "and the Unstoppable Armstrong has send you to kill Jack, as he not?"
"What…?" Jack said, not believing his ears.
The ninja didn't say anything.
"Of all the nights to break, it had to be tonight," Madara said, "but, you won't be killing it anyone right now because you're about to be killed."
Number 00 barely had any time to move before his head was lopped off his body and blood flew out of the neck like a jet of water as the body stood for a moment and then falls on the ground.
Madara pocketed his kunai and fell a surge of chakra as lightning charged around Jack.
"I will kill you today, Madara, Lightning Lance."
The burst of lightning charged toward Madara and exploded the walls behind him.
What…I couldn't have missed from this range? Jack though.
"That's quite a technique you got there Jack," Madara said, "but it seems that we won't be alone for long, and well, we must be going by now."
"I'm not going with you," Jack said taking a stance with a kunai in his hand, "I'll kill you."
"You are nowhere near my level yet Jack," Madara said, "I can move faster than light and you are just a kid who had inherited powers and is nowhere near to control it. You have been feeling the temptation don't you Jack? Since you possesses the demon blood that the Ruhang clan had been known to have, you will become magnificent."
Suddenly a figure grew out of the ground beside Madara and it looked like a giant green jaw of a carnivorous plant. It opened, showing a person in it with golden colored eyes and two colored side. One white and one black.
"A team of Jonin is coming toward this way," he said and deeper voice said, "Time is almost up what is it that you're doing next."
"Send out the word to Pein," Madara said, "This day, fourteen years ago, the Haruno clan was destroyed in the civil war, and now this day Taiyoukagure is going to be destroyed. Launch a full assault on the village."
"What are you planning?" Jack said.
"Taiyoukagure will be destroyed," Madara said, "I brought the village together almost a century ago, now I'm just erasing it."
"You bastard," Jack yelled, flames appearing in his hand ready to attack when a voice said from behind him.
"As I said before you are not on my level yet."
That's the last thing he heard before he was knocked out.
"So this is the brat?" the plant-man asked.
Madara put the kid on his shoulder and said, "Go to Pein Zetsu, and tell him to start the attacks."
The plant-man, Zetsu, closed the large jaws of the plan and sunk back into the ground. Madara walked out of the Main hall to see a group of Jonins outside there, ready to do battle.
"Stand where you are," A Jonin yelled out.
Madara simply vanished and reappeared behind the group who still stood there as if frozen, then blood spills out of various places on each Jonin as they falls on the ground.
"Now, there is someone I have to kill before the night ends," Madara said to the night, "but, I've got to put Jack into a safe place…"
A vortex appeared in his face and it absorbed Jack.
"Well, now that's over, let's see if Armstrong is up to his last battle."

When Claire and Sava reached the village, they saw that they were under attack as explosions echoed in every corner of the village as screams and flames with dark smokes clouded the sky.
"What is that? An invasion?" Sava asked.
It can't be an invasion, Claire though, it's not possible.
"Follow me Sava," Claire said.
With a nod from Sava, the two shinobis flew over the rooftops of the buildings and landed by another Taiyou ninja who was there with a team.
"Shinji, what the hell is going on?" Claire asked.
"The entire village is under attack," Shinji, a dark skinned Taiyou ninja said, "we are getting it from every key point of the village. We can't tell if it's an invasion or not."
"Damn it," Claire said, "what is being done with the villagers?"
"We have Genins taking care of them into the shelters," Shinji said, "I'm taking my squad into the S-sector. I'll see you then Claire."
With that the shinobis shunshined away.
"Who would invade us now?" Sava said.
"It's not an invasion," Claire said as she saw a dead villager with many kunai piercing his back, "this is an extermination."
"An extermination?"
"Yes, an extermination of Taiyoukagure village," Claire said, gritting her teeth "there are not only killing shinobis, but villagers too. Sava head for the shelters and help them."
"What about you sensei?"
"I'm going toward the Taiyoukage tower," Claire said, "I must see Armstrong about something."
Sava noticed the lack of the sama but didn't say anything but nodded and headed west.
Good luck Sava, Claire though as she headed toward the large tower in the middle of the village.
&&&
Sava flew through the village as she headed straight for the shelters, and she can hear screams coming from there, making her quicken her pace.
This couldn't be much of a worse timing, she though, those ninjas came out of nowhere and attacked the village, but something tells me that I've barely scratch the surface of what's going on around here.
When she arrived by the shelters, she noticed some enemy ninjas there which were fighting the Genins and they were killing most of them. Flashing toward them at full speed, Sava send a volley of kunai toward them.
One of the ninja saw the attack and blocked them with his kunai and the others got hit in the back or at their heads.
"Those Taiyou brats keep crawling out like bugs," one of them said and in the flames light, Sava caught sight of their headbands and noticed they bore the Ame (Rain) symbol with a horizontal scratch on it.
"Amekagure," she said.
"Just kill her," one of the Ame ninja said, "I'm going to kill the other civilians from the next shelters."
They got info on where the shelter were, Sava though, Someone had been working with them, betraying the village, but I'm not going down without a fight.
"Now let's see if you got some fight into you," the Ame ninja said, "the last Genins I faced, hardly lasted five seconds."
Sava charged toward him, sending two more kunai making the ninja dodge and she came with an ax kick over the ninja's head, but it was blocked by another Ame ninja.
So, there are more than two," Sava said.
"Let's kill her," the new Ame ninja said and both of them charged toward Sava who pulled out two customs made kunai and they started glowing with her wind chakra.
"Let's see how much you guys last against the Blades of the Wind," Sava said.
Sensing a attack from behind, Sava dropped into a crouch as shurinken flew over her head, missing by inches, and she wiped around with the chakra charged kunai, slashing the enemy in the face, leaving a gash there, blood flying out, and using a fan kick, which connected toward one of the uncoming Ame ninja but the other had dodged and he came with a kunai trusting it down toward Sava's exposed chest.
CLANG!
It came in contact with a bloodied kunai, and Sava smirked at him and swung her other arm, making the enemy steps back as she missed.
"You're pretty skilled for a Genin," the Ame ninja said, "You managed to take out two of my squad which they were Genins too. Me I'm a Chunin and more experienced than you…"
Sava threw the kunai toward him at amazing accuracy that the Ame ninja was momentarily surprised, but he dodged it.
"So you're itching for a fight," the ninja said, "I'm giving you what you want."
The Chunin pulled out what look like a doudle headed sword and was about to attack when a kunai stabbed him in his spine.
"W…what the?"
"Instead of rambling," Sava said from there, "Pay attention to your surrounding."
"But…how?"
"Bushin," Sava said, "the one you were fighting was merely a Bushin. So you mind telling me why are you attacking my village?"
"It's the end for your village," the ninja said, "Pein-sama will destroy every life in this pathetic excuse for a village."
Sava, in anger took him by the neck and with a sharp crack, it was broken.
"So this is how a war feels like," Sava said as she looked around the destruction, "I don't like it."
&&&
Armstrong was standing on the top of the Kage's Tower with SEVERER on his back and the yellow robes fluttering in the wind as the booms echoed through the village and the smokes grew through it.
So is this it for the village? He thought, What would you have done in my place eh Sadaime Taiyoukage?
Suddenly, he sensed a presence behind him and said, "So you're finally here Madara."
The masked man said, "I won't be killing everyone if that's what you're thinking. I'm merely fulfilling the promise that I told Saki on her deathbed."
"You're going to kill me then?"
"Yes," Madara said, "I have no further use for you. You had tried to kill my son fourteen years ago and you were power hungry. No wonder your little experiments didn't seat too well with you."
Quick as lightning, Armstrong drew SEVERER and he turned toward Madara who simply stood there.
"I've heard that your speed has no match Madara," Armstrong said, "Is that true?"
"Why don't you find out?"
"SEVERER Technique: Thousand Suns."
The blast of chakra blows half of the building roof off and smokes grew around it. When it dispersed, Madara was standing there, not even fazed a little.
So it is true, Armstrong though, He really is fast.
"Are you done already?" Madara said, "For a Kage, you are probably the weakest."
Armstrong charged toward him swinging the blade which went through Madara as if he was a ghost. Shocked, Armstrong jumped back looking at the man in front of him, wondering what kind of technique he was using.
Is this a genjutsu? No…I can feel his chakra, but my blade went through him as if he wasn't even there, what kind of technique is this?
"Since you're not attacking," Madara said, "I'm taking the offensive."
He went through twenty hand seals in less than five second and said,
"Ninja Art: Kyuubi."
A large chakra beast appeared behind him, and Armstrong was frozen as the nine-tails swished behind Madara, and the large reddish form of the famed Bijuu appeared. His large jaws were in a roar as the two devilish red eyes were staring at him.
"No…way, it can't be…"
Armstrong could feel sweet pouring from his face as his heart beat furiously in his chest, not believing that a real Bijuu had being summoned into the battle.
"Taiyoukagure has seen its last sun," Madara said.
&&&
Claire suddenly stopped, feeling the dread growing within her, and she looked around wondering where it was coming from and sure enough she found it and almost had a heart attack when she saw the nine-tails swishing into the air, and the roar that echoed into the night sending shivers down her spine.
What is the Kyuubi is doing here? She though, Didn't the Fourth Hokage seal it away when it had attacked Konoha thirteen years ago?
Claire headed toward the Tower even faster now.
Armstrong is in danger right now and from the large amount of chakra that thing possesses, this battle is the highest chakra I've ever felt in my entire shinobi career.
&&&
Sava's head shot toward where the Nine-tails swishing in the distance and the feeling of fear growing inside her.
"Sava, what the hell is that?" a Genin, Sato asked her.
"I…don't know," Sava said, "but whatever it is, that's not good."
&&&
"A little gift from the Kyuubi since I was its master," Madara said.
"So, the Kyuubi attacking Konoha was not natural incident," Armstrong said.
"Say good-bye to your village," Madara said and he created a seal, "Destroy."
The Kyuubi chakra form roared and pounced like a cat toward the Taiyoukage who was frozen in fear and closed his eyes waiting for the pain to come.
I'm sorry father, I've failed.
KABOOM!
A massive explosion took place as if an atomic bomb had been dropped into the village and the wave broke away houses and the ground tears itself up as debris falls around everywhere and the large mushroom of smoke grew into the air, marking the destruction of the village known as Taiyoukagure.
From a branch not far away from the village, Madara stood there looking at the smoke which rose into the sky.
"Now we are even Armstrong," he said.
The plant-man, Zetsu grew from a branch above him and he said, "Some of them may still be alive." And the other voice said, "We can just go eat the corpses."
"That won't be necessary," Madara said, "They won't have enough shinobi left to do anything to Ame (Rain). Taiyoukagure is finished as one of the Great Powers of the World."
"So what about the brat?"
"I will be talking to him," Madara said, "Jack will finally know the truth that was kept from him all those years. The secret of the Ruhang Clan and the role his mother plays into it all."
"You know he might not believe you," Zetsu said.
"I don't expect him to," Madara said, "but then again, it is as I planned it."
With that he disappeared.
"You know, sometimes he scares me with his plans,"
"Shut up and let's go back to the others."
He sunk back down into the ground.
The beautiful village of Taiyoukagure had been totaled and what truth is Madara talking of? Is there anyone left alive in the village after such explosion?
The saga continues next time in 'Dark Secret part 2'
A/N: Okay, the finishing move of this chapter is of my own creation, and how is Madara is able to pull off such a technique? It's basically a large chakra-formed of the Nine-Tails, almost like a shadow of the former creature. since Madara was its master for god knows how long, i made him get a little piece of it's power, but this is not one-tenth of the Kyuubi's chakra so it acted like a bomb. At first, i was going to make Pein go all Shinra Tensei on the village but i changed my mind since Madara was the one planning the entire attack, i made him finish it with a technique that can only be used once every year. Hope that was satifactory for everyone.
