Secrets 26
Omgosh, has anyone read the latest manga yet? I wont spoil it or anything was just to excited! OMG…..if you haven't read it go read it. NOW.
Sorry for not writing, ive been caught up in my left side of mah brain..doodling XD so to start it off, heres a short summary on whats happened in this story, sorta recap coz im quite sure I need one O.O
Kakashi is dead. Minato and Itachi are currently on their mission in seeking out the reason why that little tombstone is glowing. Everyone has been getting weird dreams. Obito's is making him guilty and while the other's are just plain creeping them out, all related to the copy ninja who has somehow "come back to life". Right now, the entire team, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Jiraiya, Gai, Asuma and Kurenai , are headed to where Minato and Itachi are, though they seem to have taken a different route. Kakashi erratically appears ever so often, scaring the ninjas but yet this holds some meaning in them that they are trying to encode. The kages have found evidence of the akatsuki being resurrected and are mobilising troops to protect their villages. Minato and Itachi battled out some weird monsters. Naruto and gang figured the code, Madara is currently with Zetsu in the same camber as Naruto and the gang( including the kyuubi who is sort of extracted) but have touched something causing …
Note: the area they are in. Naruto's place has ceilings, Minato's is a huge place with no apparent ceiling like the sky but just to dark, Madara's place is well with ceilings. Sorry I messed that up, I confused myself in the earlier chappies. There's just so much going on I scrapped all the descriptions of where they were etc.
I'm srsly contemplating why the hell did I put Kurenai there? Rin would have been a more logical choice OwO oh well. Yep. I think that's the framework so far. Enjoy!
This was not happening. Bright blue eyes looked dazzled and confused, amazed really.
The maze was alive. Well not exactly, just that it was all moving and levitating upwards and disappearing into the dark sky. Some were moving into the ground. The entire place had just became a vacant land, vast as ever. The two blue orbs directed towards a certain Uchiha who was just as dazzled, gazing into the now empty sky.
Their eyes met each other and a sense of hopelessness clung to their stomachs.
"oof!" Naruto collapsed onto a certain toad sannin and with a clank the metal stuck into the wall.
The kanji letters glowed brightly then dimmed, the wall opened up through the middle, a doorway to an unknown land.
Naruto saw the darkness beyond that stone wall that had just opened due to the kunai, which had magically appeared back in Obito's pocket.
Jiraiya was the first one to step into the desolate vast area. He looked around, there was nothing in sight.
"What do we do now?" Naruto asked.
Just at the white haired was about to reply, a nerve wrecking cry sounded over the vast land.
"KRAAAA! KRAAA!"
A small black crow hovered just above them, its crows echoing in the silent area. The bird landed on its three feet right on Obito's shoulder. Creeped the boy shooed the bird whose wing fluttered about, feather's cast about. The bird then lands on the ground, safe from the young Uchiha's flailing arms.
Jiraiya crept down to the bird, whose eyes met his. It was an amusing sight for a large man to have a stare down with a small black crow.
"hey, it's kinda cute!" Naruto said, lowering a finger for the bird to hop on, which it gladly did so. Its three little legs hopped onto Naruto's shoulder tickling the ninja who giggled slightly.
Naruto received weird glances and glares from his friends, who clearly disagreed with him.
"What?"
"Sigh, never mind, we better move along." Jiraiya said as he turned back to the clearing. Just then the bird went back to attacking Obito, snatching the kunai and flying off into the distance.
"HEY!"
The Uchiha chased after the bird recklessly, the bird mocking him with amused "Kras!".
"Obito!"
He did not listen, and continued chasing the black bird, he ran and ran with the others trying to trail him.
"OOF!" he hit something straight in the face, and fell backwards, realisation slow to come.
"Obito?" Obito rubbed his eyes as familiar blond hair and azure eyes greeted him.
"Sensei!"
The rest of the gang caught up and were now greeting each other.
"Dad!" Naruto went over and hugged his father in a loving son and father relationship.
All of them breathed a sigh of relief, when they heard of each other's happenings and status.
Minato's face was serious now, they had to find a way out of here.
"KRA!"
The bird circled above them, dropping the kunai to Obito's hands. Itachi's eyes widened as he stared at the bird. Slowly and mechanically he lifted his hand, inviting the bird to perch on.
The crow gladly perched on his hand as the others stared in amazement at the tameness and braveness of this little creature.
"that annoying bird stole the kunai." Obito grumbled.
"hmmm, I think it did that on purpose, at least it led us to Minato and Itachi here." Jiraiya said slowly.
All eyes went to the bird who was quietly grooming its feathers.
"coming back to the subject, we need to figure out a way to get out of here." Minato said.
"this bird, can lead the way." Itachi said slowly. Everyone's attention was on the ever so silent Uchiha now.
"let me continue, this is the three-legged crow that exists in myths. It is called, Yatagarasu, a mythical creature said to lead the way and a symbol for guidance."
"but it's just a myth, how do we know that's true?" the younger Uchiha questioned his older brother, something brothers always do.
"we've seen morphing cats with scrolls and storks that disappear right at the sound of its screech, how can you not justify that myth is something that we cannot grasp but exists in truth?"
Sasuke kept silent at that.
"So all we need to do is follow this little guy?" Naruto asked.
"I guess so since we have no other choice." Minato replied as the bird took off with the ninja's following in tow.
Madara dodged a giant claw that slashed right above his head, cutting off some of his black hair.
A loud roar echoed through the area as the giant beasts attacked the two. Their mouths were big enough to swallow them whole with a wooly curly mane. They looked like oversized lion-dogs.
"WHAT ARE THESE THINGS!?" Zetsu asked as he evaded the giant paw that broke the floor.
"these are komainu, guardian dogs. They guard sacred things." Madara said as he puched one right in the head, shattering it into bits and pieces of stone.
The other dog was soon destroyed as well.
"they are creatures that act as guardians, guarding the most sacred of items and turning to life when intruders dare to trigger their senses or attempt stealing."
"heh, well they aren't worth much anymore I guess."
Madara turned around with the scroll in hand, back facing the mess of rubble. They were about to leave this place when the sounds of crows evaded their eardrums.
Done hope you liked it!
Heres some info on the creatures. They're all Japanese mythological creatures I looked up in Wikipedia.
Basan: a stork that breathes blue flames and disappears when it screeches Basa.
Bakaneko: a cat that possesses shape shifting capabilities.
Yatagarasu: a crow with three legs symbolising guidance.
Komainu: guardian lion-dogs. They're the kinds where you find at temple gates.
