Arc 7 – The realm of Forgotten Shadows!
Chapter 1 – Promotions! Uraika and Devika's bond continues to grow!
A few weeks had passed since the war of darkness' conclusion and peace was starting to finally become apparent in the Hidden leaf, at least this time around no damages were being made to the village, and the barracades and everything in support of defending the area had been slowly but surely removed. Shirahoshi had been busy as of late calling on every applicant, Genin, Chuunin and beyond and giving them special rewards for their services, and finally it was time for Team 7 to be given their next line of call.
"Narashi Uzumaki, Uraika Uchiha, Devika Shukumei and Shinrin Haruno." You four performed an outstanding line of duty during the War of Darkness… and not only did you succeed, some of you were even able to take down the Shinobi worlds most dangerous shinobi and ended a tyrade that had started almost twelve years ago… The Deadly Sin Killers are no more, and Kayori Otsutsuki has finally been put to rest and now we can recover our losses and move forward knowing the village is safe once more." Shirahoshi explained, looking at her forms before speaking again.
"By approval from the village council, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation and of course your own Hokage and Jounin leader Marakai Hatake of Squad 7. I promote Uraika Uchiha, Devika Shukumei and Shinrin Haruno to the rank of Jounin." Shirahoshi explained, Narashi raising a brow a little. "Before you start Narashi, I didn't mention your name for a very special reason." Shirahoshi stated, Narashi about to speak but stopped. "You made a reckless and very dangerous decision to take Kayori Otsutsuki on by yourself, he was a qualified and very powerful shinobi of the past that probably exceeded the 5-Kage's put together, on top of the fact he was within the former 7th Hokage's body of which housed incredible chakra." Shirahoshi told the boy sternly.
"I guess I deserve as much on that front…" Narashi sighed, looking at the ground, before looking to his comrades. "Congratulations on the promotion." He told them, looking ready to leave. "Hold up, I'm not finished yet." Shirahoshi told him, making him stop. "I said all that to make you at least understand that had things not been the way they were… you would have likely thrown your life away meaninglessly and of course poor Shinrin here would have been devastated… your efforts were flawless… and you managed to save the village AND the Shinobi world from Kayori… and I believe with him gone, we can truly say the Otsutsuki influence in the ninja world has finally drawn to a close." Shirahoshi explained.
"For this and that as well… Narashi Uzumaki, I bestow upon you the rank of Sage, the highest honor a Kage can give to a Shinobi without actually promoting them to the ranking of Hokage. To be frankly honest with you, I had made the proposition to make you our new Hokage based on these actions, but the council debated your age is still a little young for the rank, and above else your skills and prowess are still useful as a shinobi." Shirahoshi explained, Narashi's eyes widening, Shinrin, Devika and even Uraika grinning at the boy.
"Me… a Sage? So I'm like the same rank as Old man Jou now?" Narashi asked, the female nodding. "As I said, these ranks are very rarely given to shinobi… so be honoured by this and use it to bettering yourself as well to continue your run on the pathway to becoming the next Hokage. You're free to go now." Shirahoshi explained, the four nodding and walking out.
"Congratulations Narashi!" Shinrin exclaimed, hugging her partner with a grin on his face. "Never thought I'd see another Sage in the village, much less it being you… idiot." Uraika snickered, Narashi glancing back. "Personally, I would have thought you being a Sage more likely than I… but sure I'll take it as a compliment!" Narashi responded, turning with a grin while walking backwards. "Speaking of you… I heard an interesting rumour that you and Devika have moved in with each other? That correct?" Narashi asked, Uraika and Devika freezing on the spot, glancing at each other. "Not that it's really any of your business… who told you that rumour?" Uraika asked. "I think the whole village knows really." Shinrin told the two with a sweet smile. "I think it's great honestly, you two would make a great couple." Shinrin added.
"It's not like that at all…" Devika muttered, glancing to Uraika then looked away trying to hide a blush with her hair. "We're just obviously looking at cutting down rental costs and we train a lot on our clan abilities together so it works out for us." She added, Uraika nodding calmly. "Makes sense." Narashi explained, completely missing the body display of the two in front of him.
"Anyway, I think Shinrin and I might go and look for some missions to do together to pass some time! Without any major battles or wars taking place, it might be nice to go back to some shinobi basics! See ya!" Narashi told them both, walking off with Shinrin discussing their own housing business. "Devika… do you think we would be… something decent?" Uraika asked bluntly, but seemed curious on the nature. "Personally… I don't know how to answer that… because I don't really know for myself…" Devika muttered, sighing. "I wouldn't let that bother you anyway… you don't seem to be the type to settle down anyway, and as far as I am concerned, I am of the same." She muttered, walking ahead of him.
Uraika seemed rather disturbed by her comment, though that was probably just her analysis on him since he rarely ever spoke out about himself or how he viewed life, so he shrugged it off and followed her to where-ever she was taking him.
Chapter 2 – Claiming an asset, the end of the Hidden Mist Village!
A month had passed since the war of darkness came to it's conclusion and the Hidden Mist village was going about it's normal routines as though the Deadly Sin Killer and Kayori prospect never existed. One kunoichi in particular was sauntering about with a big grin on her face, her name was Kepi of a newly discovered Cheyu Clan, not much was known about their abilities and whether they housed Kekkei Genkai or not, but the female was a pretty talented and gifted shinobi, having been able to graudate up to the rank of Jounin without really having to take the full effects on the Mizukage's proposal to bring death back into promotions for mist ninja.
Meanwhile at the gates of the village, a standalone figure stood in the village, his masked frame looking up at the words 'A retake on the blood mist village' or at least that was what it was poorly translated to. The male was none other than Kaiba Yasuke, Takashi Uchiha's right hand man in the Realm of Forgotten Shadows, not much is known about Kaiba other than his interactions with his leader on multiple occasions, but he was given a task to perform and he was about to make due with it.
The male decided it was time to step through the gates, and upon doing so it began to suddenly rain. "There wasn't a cloud in the sky moments ago… this is a jutsu of some sorts… a sensory technique for intruders?" Kaiba thought to himself, as he decided not to worry about it and proceed onwards. With the rain emitting the villagers knew something was amiss and retreated to their homes and locked up, while Jounin and Chuunin forces proceeded to make their way towards the intruders location.
The Mizukage at the time was busy enjoying a nice gin on the rocks when he saw the rain and groaned. "God dammit… who the hell could it be this time…" Akito snarled, as he got to his feet and took his robe, walking out of the office and proceeded to make his way. Kepi had seen the rain coming down and a big grin etched onto her face. "Oh boy! I wonder if he's come again to say hello!" Kepi mused, as she darted her way towards the location herself, having previously encountered a man he had referred to as Obito.
Kaiba was soon within the heart of the Mist village when he was surrounded by a group of Chuunin and Jounin forces. "So I was right, it was a sensory jutsu to alert people of intruders… how interesting. Sorry I forgot to register at the registry… I can go back if need be." Kaiba told the men putting his hands up. "Don't think you can fool us with your bullshit antics." One of the Jounin grunted, aiming a Kunai at the male as he spoke. "We know you're in that Realm of Forgotten Shadows group that the Mizukage can't shut up about. State your business." The Jounin demanded.
"I've been requested by my grand leader to collect a certain individual… a female by the name of Kepi Cheyu… would one of you by chance be here now?" Kaiba asked, a hand sticking up from the distance. "I'm Kepi!" she shouted, rushing through the crowd to Kaiba then frowned. "You're not Obito!" She muttered. "I'm Obito's second hand man… Kaiba Yasuke…" Kaiba explained ,the female smiling. "Oh okay! Well you came here to get me? What for?" Kepi asked, the Jounin from before grabbing her by the chest and pushed her back.
"It doesn't matter why you're here for her, you're not having her." The Jounin grunted, Kaiba sighing through his mask. "I really don't want to have to get my hands dirty before Obito arrives…" Kaiba explained, looking ahead. "But it appears I might have to anyway…" He added, watching none other than Akito move through the group and approach the male. "Well that's a tough break for me then… shit I was hoping it was Takashi Uchiha… I'd have loved to be able to smash that idiots face in for his continual intrusion in the Blood Mist." Akito snarled, before smirking. "But you said you're his right hand? Well that might suffice till he turns up then. But maybe I should test you first… you lot… kill him." Akito demanded.
"You heard the Mizukage! Get him!" The Jounin shouted, as the forces lunged themselves towards Kaiba. The male merely sighed, as his formed a few handseals, his eyes becoming visible in their mask holes, they looked to be a vibrant neon green colour as he then proceeded to evade each oncoming attack, jabbing each opponent he evaded in their wakes. Before long the shinobi stopped their attacks. "What the hell, why did you stop?" Akito demanded angrily.
The Shinobi all started to look around and then about their surroundings, before one Chuunin decided to speak. "Where am I…? Who are you…?" The Chuunin then patted himself and asked. "Who am I?"
Akito was surprised by this comment, but then was even more shocked when the others started to ask all that themselves, then began to panic as they couldn't figure out any reason as to who they were, what they were doing there or much less where they even were. It was even then where one of the group decided to declare action against the others calling them out on being assassins, and before long the entire Chuunin and Jounin group began attacking one another leaving Kaiba, Akito and Kepi to themselves.
"So…care to explain what that little trick was…" Akito snarled, Kepi looking rather amused by all this taking place for her sake. "What you just witnessed… was my Kekkei Genkai Kokoro Keshi a technique that works in favour to my visual prowess the Keishingan." Kaiba explained. "Kokoro Keshi… mind erasal… so you basically…" Akito muttered slowly allowing Kaiba to explain. "Yes, basically by using my visual prowess and concentrating chakra into my finger tips, I was able to strike every individual shinobi attacking me, and one by one erased their memories it's very handy to have because when one person loses their memories others can help them recover it." Kaiba explained.
"Oh Oh Oh! But if they all lose them at the same time they can't! Then they think someone there was behind it and they go loco on each other!" Kepi shouted. "Very astute." Kaiba responded. Akito grunted, as he formed a single handseal, puddles under the attacking Chuunin and Jounin lot springing upwards in sharp spikes, piercing them all and killed them on the spot. "You don't seem to show a lot of respect for your subordinates Mizukage…" Kaiba explained, Akito smirking.
"It's their stupid fault for being caught in such a stupid… yet very dangerous technique." Akito said with a grin taking his robe off and throwing it aside. "I'll be extra cautious not to let you even get near me then." Akito explained, Kaiba grinning a little behind his mask. "Be honoured at least with the knowledge that someone of your calibre would not be effected by this technique… well at least not without completely exhausting my chakra in order to do it, even then it's risky on a Kage level shinobi." Kaiba explained, forming handseals. "But I have more than a few tricks up my sleeve to ensure your defeat none the less." Kaiba leaned back a bit. "Kepi, I'd suggest moving!" Kaiba shouted, the female nodding and leaping away.
"Steam style – Demon mist jutsu!" Kaiba shouted, releasing a spray of mist that looked very hot to the touch, it was even at that point vapourising the rain that was falling around them as it spread out to consume Akito. "Psh, that type of Kekkei Touta is useless! Especially against one who has it themselves!" Akito mused, as his form split off from itself and took on a strange form. "Steam Style – Joker boy!" Akito mused, the clone of oil and steam beginning to run through the mist of boiling proportions growing more bloated by the second. "Using my own technique to force your clone to expand rapidly by it's own admissions… this might prove to be a tougher fight than I imagined." Kaiba muttered in his mind, his eyes flaring up again forming another set of handseals. "Is what I would have said if I was an average opponent." Kaiba explained as he lunged at the clone and struck it several times with his fingers, the clone now on the verge of exploding, but failed to.
"What the hell!?" Akito shouted, as the clone seemed to be rather clueless on what happened and looked around for a moment, then placed a finger on his chin as though wondering what he was and where he was. "Did he use that stupid technique on my joker boy to confuse it!?" Akito shouted, Kaiba leaping back. "Yes and No… this is my Kioku no gyakuten… basically I have removed your joker boys memories of what it was and what it's purpose was… and then I replaced those memories with my own fabricated ones." Kaiba explained, as the Joker boy turned around to face Akito and then grinned as though gaining it's target and launched itself towards the Mizukage.
"This guy is actually a real nuisance… no wonder he's Takashi's right hand man." Akito snarled, as he formed a handseal and dispursed the clone before it could make a move. Kaiba formed a few handseals and let a small smog of steam escape his mouth. "Steam style, boiling steam armour." He whispered, as the steam slowly took his shape and form, then attached itself to him, covering him in a viel of steam that looked very hot to the touch. "So he figured it out… he knew that my sensory rain technique ensured that he wouldn't be able to pull any fast ones on me." Akito muttered, glaring at the male.
"But I'm not gonna sit back and let you ruin all my hard work!" Akito shouted, slamming his palms together. "Water Style – Great Tidal rush!" he roared, the ground underneath himself and Kaiba beginning to rise in water volume, the water quickly rushed up making Kaiba glare at the ground and leap up, as the moment he did he was distracted enough for Akito to launch himself into range of the male and grab hold of him, ignoring the surging pain of the steam armour burning his flesh. "Water style – Waterfall fist!" Akito shouted, his right hand forming a ball of water around it of which he thrusted into Kaiba's gut and flung him quite far back from the force.
This forced Kaiba's steam armour to fade away, allowing Akito to gain the upper hand. "Water Style – Water shrapnel!" Akito shouted, slamming his palms together the rain turning into sharp bullets of water of which shot down towards Kaiba in fast motions. "Clever move…!" Kaiba shouted in surprise, and braced for impact, but was stunned as well as Akito was when the water bullets phased through him and shot through the water, leaving small holes of which were quickly replaced by the waters current. "They went right through him! What the hell was that move!?" Akito shouted angrily, the water levels dropping back to normal.
"This is…" Kaiba muttered, looking around.
"Sorry for the intrusion… but I can't allow you to harm my right hand man…" Said a voice from behind Akito, the male glaring behind him, and threw a punch straight for it. The fist seemed to slow down for a moment, allowing the form behind him to shift alongside it, spinning around and dealt a devastating kick to the Kage's frame shooting him across the battlefield.
"I was wondering when you'd come… Takashi!" Akito hissed, his distraction at this point stopping the rain from falling. "More impressively that you managed to slip into my range while my rain jutsu was in effect… bastard!" Akito hissed again. "You should know better than to rely on stupid techniques to better me… I taught you better than that." Takashi mused, earning confusion from Kaiba and Kepi. "Stop saying that! You taught me NOTHING! Stop claiming to have known anything about me! We've never met till you started invading my village!" Akito shouted.
"You continue to deny the facts Akito… but be aware that I do know everything about you… for I was your teacher… I was in fact the previous Mizukage of this village… I was Misashi Koushimito." Takashi explained, Akito snarling. "Stop lying! You're not that bastard of a teacher! You're not that Mizukage! You're manipulating the situation to drop my guard!" Akito shouted, forming handseals and inhaled air. "Water style – Great hydro cannon!" Akito shouted, spewing a steady stream of water that shot towards Takashi who merely formed handseals.
"Water style – Impactive Water wall!" Takashi shouted, a wall of water rising in front of him of which not only stopped the water stream of Akito's but redirected him. Akito was horrified by this as he evaded his water attack and looked to the male in disbelief. "That technique… that was… Misashi-Sensei's…. signature move… no way… no this has to be some kind of god damn joke! There is no way you are him! He's dead! He killed himself! We saw him do it even!" Akito roared. "You really honestly believed that I would be so stupid as to commiting suicide without a contingency plan?" Takashi mused, taking something out of his pocket and threw it at Akito's feet.
"An eye? What the hell does that have to do with any-…" he stopped and stepped back, before glaring at the male. "Izanagi!?" Akito asked angrily, the Uchiha grinning behind his mask. "Well done, first guess… that's right I managed to attain a Sharingan of which I implanted into my right eye in order to use the Izanagi and have it prepared to initiate as a delayed jutsu… the Uchiha are very good at recording Jutsu into their eye and have delayed actions to initiating them… once you were convinced I was dead and put me away, the Izanagi activated and I was able to carry about my deeds without the hassle of blowing my cover as the former Mizukage of this pathetic excuse of a village." Takashi explained.
"Why do you want Kepi!? What does she have that you want so badly?" Akito snarled. "She is of the Cheyu Clan… new to the scene but very profound in their cellular Kekkei Genkai… she will be a prized assest in my bid to eradicate the Uchiha and bring this world truly to the status of peace." Takashi explained, glancing to Kepi who smiled at the masked male. "Like hell you will have her!" Akito shouted, as he lunged at Takashi once more. "Kepi… show your hand… it is time." Takashi told the girl, who smiled wide and formed a handseal and flashed past Takashi, striking Akito who as caught off guard grabbing his arm as he leapt back from her attack.
"Treacherous little bitch!" Akito shouted, glaring at his arm and seeing nothing more than a scratch. "Barely worth the effort, but you'll pay for your treachery…!" Akito was about to do something, when he felt intense pain blasting through the arm, and before he could react more to it, his arm suddenly combusted, blood and bone pieces splattering around the area, Kaiba and Akito were both stunned by this, Akito absolutely horrified in fact, whilst Takashi just smirked behind his mask.
"W-WHAT THE HELL!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Akito roared out, grabbing his shoulder to hold out on the pain rushing through him. "That was my Saibō hakai!" Kepi shouted in excitement at how well it played out. "I basically implanted my chakra into that wound I gave you of which made your cells go absolutely bonkers! They expanded and absorbed bits of your chakra and then one by one exploded to a point where your arm couldn't handle the pressure and exploded!" Kepi shouted.
"Do you see now? Her talent is wasted here in this backwater village… I would have thought you would be wise enough to take this village and help it evolve… but all I see is wasted potential, and you even dissolved an age long treaty with the other four nations… thus giving me the perfect time to attack… because you basically forced the other Kage's out, which means no one is coming to your aide." Takashi mused, as he leapt up to the highest point of the village, forming a series of handseals, much more than usual for a jutsu.
"Kepi… we must take our leave at once." Kaiba told the female in haste. Kepi looked to Kaiba then at Takashi who was still forming seals, the female nodding rapidly before they both took off. "I'll get you for this… mark my words… I will have my vengeance…" Akito snarled. "Oh… I don't think you will my dear student… for this is not only the end of you… but the end of the Village hidden in the mist." Takashi muttered, forming the final seal and sighed.
"Fire style – Planetary Meteor destruction!" Takashi shouted, arching his head upwards and released five fireballs into the sky. Akito snarled as he brought himself to his feet, and glared at the sky. The clouds covered what was taken place, but then suddenly they began to separate and when they did, Akito's frame just slumped, his eyes widened in complete and utter defeat, and he dropped to his knees. "This….. truly is the end…." Akito muttered, as in the sky coming down towards the village and himself, were five small planet sized meteors coming down towards them. "Farewell… it was fun while it lasted." Takashi mused, his form vanishing into a vortex, as the five meteors hit the village and set it up in a nuclear like explosion, the explosion sending shockwaves and trembled the planet to extents that it could be felt across all five nations and more.
The explosion itself could even be seen from the other four villages, earning shock and horror from the Kage's watching them. "What the hell was that!?" the Raikage shouted, one of his ANBU appearing to explain. This went about from all the villages and instantly from that moment a gathering was set to take place.
From a distance far enough to not be caught in the impact of the explosion, Kaiba and Kepi watched, Kepi in awe from the destructive power that Takashi had displayed, watching to her right as Takashi appeared, dropping to a knee and gasping for air. "That.. was… AWESOME!" Kepi exclaimed, jumping around happily. "That jutsu was super cool! No one would have survived that! You destroyed the entire village! Everyone is bound to be dead!" Kepi shouted.
"Was that jutsu absolutely necessary…?" Kaiba asked, Takashi getting back to his feet and regained his composure. "For the sake of restoring this world in the true vision of peace… destruction is first in order of the Five-Great Nations." Takashi explained, looking to Kepi and then back to Kaiba. The other villages within the other nations are going to be given the same treatement and then we will go to the Hidden Leaf and destroy it on top of ending the Uchiha… then I will use the Fenikkusu no fukkatsu to resurrect everyone implanted with Genjutsu that makes them only live their lives in peace… no conflict and no wars." Takashi explained, Kaiba sighing.
"We talk of peace, but yet we spread bloodshed and destruction to do it… Takashi I don't truly understand your motives… but if you think this is what the world needs… then we of the Realm of Forgotten Shadows are at your command." Kaiba told the male, who grinned. "That's what I like to hear… now we have much to discuss before we head to the Land of Stone… let's get Kepi acquainted to her comrades and begin our next step." Takashi told them both, before taking them away in his vortex along with himself.
Chapter 2 – The second Kage meeting – Learning of the Mist's destruction!
It was a good ten hours after the attack on the Hidden Mist and the Four Kage had wasted no time in getting to the Land of Iron and the meeting room and began to prepare for the meeting at hand. "I knew the Mizukage was bent on being against what we did for the Deadly Sin Killers, but the fact they can't even attend the meeting after a massive ass explosion really ticks me off!" The Raikage shouted angrily, the other Kage's nodding with sighs.
"There's an actual reason for the Mizukage to not be here." The leader of the Iron temple told the Kage's earning their looks. "The reason the Mizukage isn't here is because he apparently has been killed." The Kage's gasped in shock to the situation and glanced at the table. "Akito was killed…? Then why have they not brought a representative in to take his place?" Shirahoshi asked, the male leader getting a whisper from a samurai informant. "Wait really!? The entire village!?" The leader shouted, earning the Kage's looks again.
"Spit it out!" The Raikage demanded, slamming his fist on the table. "Calm down Raikage, it was a surprise to me…" the leader sighed as he spoke. "I've been told in a report that not only is the Mizukage dead, but the entire Hidden Mist village is no more. It's been leveled, not a single survivor." The Kage's faces went somewhat blue when they heard that comment. "So you're saying… that explosion we saw… all those earthquakes and what not… was the Hidden Mist being laid to waste…?" the Kazekage muttered, the Leader nodding.
"Are there any signs of what kind of jutsu could have done such a thing!? The last time something like this came about would have been when Pain of the Akatsuki attacked the Hidden Leaf some time ago, and used his Shinra Tensei to level the village…" Shirahoshi explained, the leader asking the informant. "There are trashes of fire and what looks to be burning boulders of a sort… there's not a lot more to say other than whoever did it… has likely used a jutsu of meteor like proportions." The leader told them.
"So a fire style user… which would generally mean one of a few things." The Raikage glancing to Shirahoshi. "Someone of the Hidden Leaf… or in more restrospect of things…" Shirahoshi explained, before glaring at the table. "Someone of the Uchiha clan… which means…" she added. "Takashi Uchiha?" the Kazekage asked. "Akito had been blabbering off in the last meeting that Takashi had been harassing him and his village… maybe Takashi decided to shut him up." The Tsuchikage explained.
"There's more to it than that." Shirahoshi explained, earning the Kage's attention. "Remember, after we made our pact to unite against Kayori and the Deadly Sin Killers, Akito dissolved the Mist's part of the treaty, you would have all got that scroll delivered a few days after it correct?" Shirahoshi asked. "Yea… the scroll pretty much detailed that because our of lack of compassion towards the threat of Takashi the Hidden Mist would have no involvement in the affairs of other villages and the alliance on their end would be terminated effective immediately." The Kazekage replied.
"Takashi must have caught wind of this and used that opportunity to attack the Hidden Mist knowing that our forces wouldn't be patrolling around and thus…" Shirahoshi begun. "He would have been able to have a field day on the Mist and none of us would have been any the wiser…" The Tsuchikage grunted. "Clever man that Takashi Uchiha… What do we presently know about him?" The Kazekage asked Shirahoshi. "What branch of the clan does he come from?" She added.
"Truth of the matter… he doesn't come from any of them." Shirahoshi explained, earning raised brows from the Kage. "Takashi Uchiha is not an organic Uchiha clan member if you want me to be outright truthful on it." Shirahoshi explained. "Are you saying he's some biometric clone or something!?" The Raikage shouted. "Yes…He was one of Orochimaru's final experiments…" Shirahoshi sighed. "The Legendary Sannin of the Leaf? Is there no level of madness that guy couldn't do?" The Tsuchikage grunted. "We believed his intentions were to create a perfect clone made up of DNA cultivated from Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha… to create a clone that was to be used as a icon of defending the Hidden Leaf. Unlike most of the constructs used to make him." Shirahoshi explained.
"If he was supposed to be an icon to defend the leaf, why is he out there now destroying the villages!?" The Raikage shouted. "I wish I knew that for myself, something happened… he went all strange during the One Nation War.. he flew off the handle and planned to deal to things, only for Xin to finish him off… but obviously Takashi lived… and he's bent on apparently eradicating the Uchiha and bringing peace to the nations." Shirahoshi explained, earning mock laughter from the Raikage
"He talks of wanting peace but then goes and annihilates an entire village and it's people! What bullpuckey!" The Raikage scoffed. "Yes… but he poses a threat against the Five Nations by his actions… and his organization no doubt is behind them all the way." Shirahoshi explained when suddenly a toad appeared in front of her, an elder one at that. "Oh sorry, am I interrupting something?" The toad asked the female. "Lord Fukasaku?" Shirahoshi asked the elder. "Yes, sorry I really am, I can come back." Fukasaku explained.
"Forget it Lord Fukasaku… I don't think we have much else to discuss." The Raikage explained. "We don't know anything of Takashi's true intentions other than what's been said… so all we can do is heighten security in our villages and double our patrols around the borders to ensure that they don't get the slip on us." The Raikage told the group, the other three Kage nodding, before they got up and left, Shirahoshi staying behind to address Fukasaku. "So what can I do for you then Lord Fukasaku?" Shirahoshi asked. "Well I was actually coming here to find you so that I could actually ask of you to bring someone to me." Fukasku told her.
"Sure… who were you wanting to see? Joushiro?" Shirahoshi asked. "No, his student… Narashi Uzumaki." Fukasaku told her.
Chapter 3 – Narashi's invitation to Mt Mybokuzan! Uraika's new discovery!
A day passed since the Kage summit was concluded and Shirahoshi arrived back into the village with Fukasaku on shoulder, she entered her office and sat down for a moment. "Want a drink?" Shirahoshi sighed, pulling out some Sake. "No thank you." Fukasaku told the female, as she poured herself a glass and tipped it back, before calling a PA to get Narashi to come and see her at her office.
About ten minutes passed and Narashi came walking through the doorway, adorned in a getup that held an orange robe similar to that of a Kage robe. "Shinrin tailor that for you?" Shirahoshi asked, the Uzumaki looking at it and then smiled. "She thought it be befitting for a Sage ranked ninja like me, it's really cool… anyway." Narashi trailed off looking to the toad and blinked.
"Who is that?" Narashi asked. "Ah…it wouldn't surprise me that you don't remember who I am young Narashi… for the last time I saw you, you were no bigger than I was." Fukasaku explained, Narashi frowning. "Seems to almost be a story of my life so far…" Narashi muttered, before shaking it off. "So you know me, but I don't know you… or at least I don't remember you." Narashi added. "That'd be accurate… my name is Fukasaku I am the Grand Elder Toad of Mt Myobokuzan… I trained your father, Great-Grandfather and Great Great Grandfather in the arts of Sage Mode and Sage chakra manifestation, and today I am here to offer that invitation to you." Fukasaku explained, Narashi looking a touch surprised.
"Sage mode? You mean that stuff that my father gave me while I was training with Kurama?" Narashi asked, Fukasaku a little astonished at hearing this but nodded. "More or less I guess… I'd have to confer with Kurama to be sure on that. But I believe he's in a state of chakra slumber?" Fukasaku asked, Narashi nodding. "He gave up all his chakra to complete the Heavingly Rasengan a jutsu my Great-Grandfather failed to complete." Narashi explained. "Ah yes, the Jutsu Naruto tried to adapt within Mt Mybokuzan thinking the natural air of Sage chakra would benefit it to no avail… so Kurama's chakra was all that was needed… I guess Naruto knew it was complete given you… probably…"
"Ended up using it on him to complete the prophecy…? Yeah…" Narashi sighed. "So he did confine you in that… alright that saves me one conversation." Fukasaku explained, as he looked to the boy. "So how about it? Want to learn Sage Mode?" He asked. "Uh sure! But… I hear the food there isn't…. uh… how do I say it without being mean…?" Narashi asked, Fukasaku laughed aloud to that. "Ma's come to the understanding her food isn't to human standard! So she's got human food there it's no worries!" Fukasaku exclaimed.
"Oh! Well in that case let's go then! Oh! That's alright of course Shirahoshi?" Narashi asked. "Of course Narashi, go and enjoy yourself. I'll let Shinrin know you won't be around for a bit, she'll understand." Shirahoshi explained. "Alright then, let's get a move on." Fukasaku explained, forming seals. "Reverse summoning Jutsu!" before Narashi could ask what the jutsu was they were gone in a puff of smoke. "Good luck Narashi, you'll need it for that type of training." Shirahoshi mused, taking another glass of Sake and drinking it down, before spinning around to look at the village. "We're going to need all we can to get through this if Takashi really is making his move." She sighed.
Night had fallen upon the leaf and in a certain household a certain Uchiha found himself waking up in a cold sweat. The male gasping as he glanced around the room, seeing Devika sleeping next to him soundly, as he glared at his bed sheets and clenched his fists. Memories of his dead mother and aunty, his brother killing himself in front of the Uchiha and of course Takashi's words about his father not being in the attack alone had him constantly at odds with his sleeping patterns as memories flooded him every time.
Word had gotten around that the Hidden Mist had been decimated and that Takashi might have been the root cause of it, making the Uchiha devoted to his ideal of making Takashi pay for using his brother and sister as a means of getting rid of him. The Uchiha pulled himself out of his bed and left the house, having dressed of course. His journey ended up taking him back to his old house where his mother was murdered, the Uchiha unlocking the door with a key that he failed to give to Konohamaru when he requested that the keys would be handed over to ensure he didn't go snooping during the time of their investigations.
Walking inside, he saw the chalk marking of where his mother was laid to rest by her father, the Uchiha grunting a bit, as he walked past it and proceeded to look around for anything that might help him overcome his grief. He found his families library where he ended up looking through any books that may have picked up his interests, one book in particular making him raise a brow in confusion.
"Make out Tactics… why would there be a book like this here…?" Uraika asked, attempting to take the book and moved it from its position. Upon doing this he heard a cracking sound as though something had activated, making the Uchiha activate his Sharingan and glare around. His eyes then wandered to a small opening that seemed to have formed on the ground. "A secret passageway?" Uraika asked himself, as he walked over to the passageway and forced the door open since it seemed to have stopped midway.
Clambering down into the passage, he found a pathway leading through a dank tunnel, as he proceeded in the torches began to light up as though triggered by his chakra. "This place looks… almost ancient…" Uraika thought to himself, as he continued onwards through the pathway until he found a room that looked to be littered with scrolls, books and other assorted bits and bobs. "This was under our house the entire time… how mental…" Uraika spoke out in awe, as he walked over and took a few scrolls and read them. "Izanagi… Izanami… Kotoamakatsukami… these are all forbidden jutsu of the Uchiha Clan…" Uraika explained to himself, as he looked about again.
There was something there that caught his eye once more, a headband that was branded with a scratch across the leaf's symbol, of course in this ninja timeline the new combat headbands were just brands of cloth with the leaf symbol stiched into them, so this was foreign to Uraika who walked over and picked it up. He then noticed a note inside it of which he pulled out and read it. "Sasuke, sorry that it ended up being my son to return this… but here you go as promised…. Naruto." Uraika muttered, looking surprised.
"So this was Sasuke's headband from when he was a shinobi… this must be one of his studies then… that explains a lot." Uraika muttered, looking around some more. Upon the conclusion that nothing more was gained from the room, he caught eye of something that he walked over and examined, it was a series of journals that were written by Sasuke but they seemed to be in the wrong order. Instead of reading them, Uraika decided to put them back in order because it looked like there were certain symbols that spoke something out. He took the books and put them in order and saw they were hand signs.
Opting to take curiosity to heart, he formed the seals then placed his hand on the books spines, and from it a summoning circle appeared and from it a scroll emerged. Taking the scroll the Uchiha opened it and read the contents. "This is…. Exactly what I needed." Uraika muttered, shocked at what he was reading.
Ten minutes had passed and Uraika was making his way to the Leaf gates. He glanced back and gave a stern look to it, before turning around and walked out of the leaf and made way to the location of which the scroll had detailed of something of much value in his quest. Not without of course leaving Devika a note detailing what it was about and not to follow him, as this was something he had to do alone.
Chapter 4 – Training for Sage Mode! Takashi attacks the Sand!
Going back a little in time before Uraika's sudden departure of the Leaf and the two of Narashi and Fukasaku arrived within Mt Myobokuzan Narashi finally asking the question. "What's the reverse summoning… oh we're here! That was fast!" Narashi exclaimed, Fukasaku laughing. "The Reverse summoning is what got us here so fast, you use the summoning jutsu to bring us to you, we use the reverse summoning to bring you to us." Fukasaku explained, hopping over to a large toad statue.
"Welcome to Mt Mybokuzan Narashi Uzumaki! This will be your home for as long as it takes you to learn Sage Mode and perfect what it can do!" Fukasaku explained. "The air feels… so different, it's almost like it's… ripe with natural energy or something like that." Narashi explained, Fukasaku surprised to hear that. "That's very interesting, not many have the knack of sensing natural energy right from the word go… but if what you said is true about your father blessing you with Sage chakra to fight Kurama, then that might explain this." Fukasaku explained.
"Basically what Sage chakra is, is the natural energy that makes up the world you live in, it contrasts the essence of Ninshuu but doesn't rely on your own chakra to do so." Fukasaku explained, forming a seal and then grabbed the massive statue and lifted it above his head effortlessly. "Once you gain a grasp on it, things like this are within your reach!" Fukasaku huffed, before dropping the statue.
"That's really intense…" Narashi muttered looking at his hands. "So what do I really need to do?" Narashi asked. "Well, if you can already sense natural energy we might be able to do this process without using the toad oil… which is good because I'm not as young as I used to be, and I fear I may not be able to help you if you began to change." Fukasaku explained, Narashi about to ask. "Don't ask, you wouldn't like what I had to say on it anyway… so all I need you to do is sit in front of that waterfall and collect your chakra through meditation." Fukasaku explained, the boy nodding and walked over to the spot, sat down and began to meditate.
The village hidden in the sand, a lot had changed in the course of time and much like the Hidden Leaf and Hidden Mist at at time, had taken on more of a civilized prospect with city buildings and festive natures. But this was all set to change in the course of time. Two figures stood outside the walls of the village, their forms hooded and surprisingly masked as well. "We're here… twin sister." The boy told the other, the other being female nodded. "Let's show them what we can do… twin bother." She muttered, as they both walked through the gates, instantly dealing to the guards who tried to intervene and take idendity checks.
"Lady Kazekage! We've had sightings of two hooded forms entering the village! They believe to be masked as well!" the aide of the Kazekage announced, the female sighing. "Realm of Forgotten Shadows… Takashi really is making his move isn't he?" the Kazekage told the aide as she got up. "I will deal to them personally, evacuate the villagers and Genin of the Sand… prepare the Chuunin and Jounin troops for deployment." The Kazekage explained, walking out.
The two hooded twins made their way to the epicenter of the village where they were greeted by the Kazekage who appeared via her sand platform technique. "Well twin brother, I am amazed to have a welcoming committee." The masked female mused, the twin brother nodding. "And who else to do it than Keisei of the Desert. Kazekage of the Hidden Sand." The masked male responded. "Under normal circumstances I would have probably dealt to you in secret… but given you two look to be of the Realm of Forgotten Shadows… I opted not to in fear of what you might possess." Keisei explained, sand floating around her frame.
"So, you have the knowledge of knowing who I am… at least share the curtosey of letting me know yours." Keisei grunted, the two looking to each other before lowering their hoods to reveal their demonic looking masks. "I am Kaito Momoki." The male told the Kazekage. "And I am Mishi Momoki." The female told the Kazekage. "And we're the Momoki twins." They said in unison, Keisei's eyes widening for a moment, before sharpening. "Well that's just fantastic isn't it…" She snarled. "Lady Kazekage who are these two?" A sand Jounin asked. "They are of the Momoki Clan… they possess a Kekkei Genkai that allows them to manifest the lava style… on top of that…" Keisei muttered, before glaring at the two
"They are the twin vessels of the Seven Tails…" She added. "Wait, these two are Jinchuuriki of the Seven tails?" the Jounin asked. "Which one is it?" he asked again. "Both of them… much like in the past when Minato Namikaze sealed half the Nine-Tails in him, and the other in Naruto Uzumaki, whoever sealed the Seven Tails into one of those two, split it off and sealed the other inside the other… in other words… there are now two seven tails… and it seems it's memories of aiding the other tailed beasts have been erased…" Keisei explained.
"Wait do you mean that Kentai bridge massacre of five years back?" the Jounin asked. "The very same… it helped us understand the Seven Tails was possessed of sorts… I had no idea Takashi recruited them into his forces…" Keisei snarled.
"It appears they know of us a little too much twin sister." Kaito said to his sister of whom nodded. "Guess we have to eradicate them before they get word to the other nations." Mishi responded, chakra formations bubbling away around their frames, and then suddenly their forms exploded in dark chakra and when the smoke cleared they were both in their version 2 states floating above the Sand crew and Kazekage.
"Looks like they're not messing around." Keisei sighed, as she raised her hand up towards them. "Sand prison!" She shouted, the sand from underneath her exploding upwards in attempt to bind them in a sand prison. "Lava Style – Molten Liquid stream!" both Kaito and Mishi shouted, as from their demonic mouths streams of lava streamed out, hitting the sand and instantly heating it to a point where it was turned to glass, of which shattered and sprinkled down around the Sand shinobi.
Keisei grinned, as she raised both hands up and the powderised glass rose up and shot towards the two at speeds the two could barely react to and were struck down to the floor hard. "Powdered glass while it may not be as strong as Sand… is lighter and more nimble… I know that Lava style has a clear edge over Sand… but if you continue to create glass, I can use that to my advantage…" Keisei mused, raising her hands up again.
"Sand coffin!" She shouted, the sand under the two downed beats consuming them at that moment. "It appears we might need to up the stakes a little… twin brother." Mishi spoke from within the coffin. "Very much so Sister, we might die if not," the brother responded. "Sand burial!" Keisei shouted, slamming her palms shut, the sand coffins constricted but seemed to just bounce back, earning a look of surprise from the Kazekage. It was there that the sand prisons exploded and from it two very large rhino beatle like creatures flew up into the sky, poised to attack.
"Tailed beast stage… Keisei grunted, as she readied herself for anything they threw. She then winced a little feeling pangs of pain shooting through her skin, she glanced around seeing the Jounin and Chuunin frantically swatting away at the sky as though they were being attacked. She glanced around not being able to see anything until very faintly she noticed a flicker of burning ashe float past her.
Glaring up at the sky she saw stuff being splattered away from the twin Seven Tailed beasts wings of which was falling down onto them. "Volcanic style, searing ash mist." Both the demons mused, before arching upwards to create two tailed beast bombs of which began to grow in mass and size. "Darn it…" Keisei snarled as she threw her blood vile aside and formed handseals, slamming her hand on the ground. "Sand barrier!" She roared, the sand erupting from under herself and the Sand Shinobi of which rose up and created a barrier atop the village.
The twin beasts opted to ignore the defence and shot the tailed beast bomb down towards it, the attack hitting the sand and erupted, sending the sand scattering around the village, and shockwaves to boost. Everyone including the Kazekage sheiled themselves from the shockwaves. "At least the village is safe for now!" Keisei snarled. "She was good to defend the Tailed beast bomb twin sister." Kaito muttered a chuckle coming out of his mouth. "Indeed brother… but what about the second one..?" Mishi asked, Keisei gasping at their words and glared up just in time for another tailed beast bomb to strike them and erupt in a huge ball of chakra and fire.
"Oh well, guess she wasn't on the defensive after all." Mishi mused, Kaito grinning also as the two reverted back to their base selves and landed, seeing most of the Sand squad dead, but Keisei being moderately okay, though bleeding all over. "You must have used some sand shield thingy last second to stop the brunt of the attack… not bad… but you look to be out of chakra and out of luck…" Kaito mused, as he stepped back slowly. "Because it looks like our master is going to finish the job." Mishi mused, and before Keisei could say anything, they were gone.
"What did they mean by that!?" Keisei shouted, glaring around but then stopped when she saw atop the village walls Takashi standing there forming handseals. "Oh no…!" she gasped. "Fire style – Planetary Meteor destruction!" Takashi shouted, arching upwards and fired five fireballs into the sky, then glanced down at Kesei and smirked. "Let's see you handle this one… hopefully you don't give up like the Mizukage did." Takashi mused, as the five gigantic meteors came crashing down towards the Hidden Sand.
"If you think I am going to bend over and take this like that fool Akito! Then you are sourly mistaken! DEFENSIVE SAND STREAM!" Keisei shouted, slamming her palms to the floor and with it large hands of sand erupted from the ground and reached up to grab the meteors, being able to hold them back, the female gritting her teeth tightly as she held them back. "I must say… I am impressed by the efforts of your sand prowess… Keisei of the Desert… Gaara would be proud of what you have become… however this is the end." Takashi mused, forming another set of handseals.
"Wind Style – Almighty Hurricane!" the male arched up and released a huge formation fo wind from his mouth of which much like the fire flew up into the sky, and then smashed down heavily into the meteors intensifying their power and speed as they simply broke through the sand defenses and continued their path towards the Kazekage with more speed and power behind them. She snarled as she quickled formed a seal in the sand and slammed down it it, seeming to transmit a message somewhere, before sadly looking up at the meteors as they drew closer.
"Guess this is it then for us huh…" the female thought to herself. "For what it was worth you brat! It was an honour to be your partner through all this!" shouted a very high pitched male voice, the female smiling as she glared at the meteors as they made contact. "I agree with you… Shukaku…" she muttered before the explosion wiped her and the entire village out in nuclear style much like the Mists but far worse due to the wind style technique enhancing it's destructive forces. Shirahoshi was enjoying another glass of Sake when the shockwaves rippled through again the female gasping as she quickly ran to the top of her mansion and saw yet another explosion off to the distance.
"NO! Who the hell did he attack this time!?" Shirahoshi roared, the Tsuchikage and Raikage watching from their posts with deep frowns on their faces. They then looked down at their wrists seeing the Hokage's signature flashing, they nodded before pressing their buttons only to gasp when the Kazekage's not only didn't flash, but it vanished as well. "So he went after the Kazekage next…. Darn that Uchiha freak!" The Raikage shouted, slamming his fist into his table and destroyed it.
"Rest in peace… Keisei.." the Tsuchikage muttered, proceeding to prepare his forces knowing that eventually his village would be next.
"The Kazekage is gone… that means Takashi attacked the sand… god dammit! What are you planning in all this Takashi!?" Shirahoshi shouted, before looking down. The female picked up the puddle of sand that had appeared at her feet and kanji began to appear on it. "No way…. The Forbidden Five!?" She shouted in shock. "Get me the Raikage and the Tsuchikage on the double!" Shirahoshi shouted, rushing straight for the conference room.
Uraika was walking through the dense forests near the Valley of the end when he suddenly forced himself to defend against the shockwaves of the attack, looking ahead in shock as he could just see the makings of an explosion aftermath. "Isn't that near the Hidden Sand? That's the second one of those attacks this week… what the hell is going on…?" Uraika asked himself, before sharpening his eyes. "Forget it, I have better things to worry about." He grunted, heading on to his ambition.
At Mt Myobokuzan, a toad had moved its way over to Fukasaku while Narashi was in deep meditation, seeming to be able to handle the chakra infusion of natural energy without too much hassle. "The Hidden Sand was dessimated!?" Fukasaku shouted, snapping Narashi out of his trance and glanced over. "What did you just say?" Narashi asked suddenly. "You mean you didn't hear about the Hidden Mist being destroyed by Takashi Uchiha?" Fukasaku asked, Narashi's face turning to surprise. "Takashi destroyed the Hidden Mist!? Are you saying he just destroyed the Hidden Sand as well!?" Narashi shouted, Fukasaku nodding.
"It appears Takashi has managed to find the scrolls of the Five Forbidden Elemental Jutsu… and he's using them to destroy the five great nations one by one…" Fukasaku explained. "What the hell is this guys deal!? What is his intentions!? This is far worse than anything Kayori or Xin has accomplished, why is he so driven to destroy the world!?" Narashi shouted. "I believe it might have something to do with his origins… as well as the Uchiha Clans darkest secrets…" Fukasaku muttered, gasping when he realized he may have said too much.
"Alright look, what I tell you is to stay between us okay!?" Fukusaku shouted, before Narashi could demand answers. "Alright! Just tell me what you know!" Narashi exclaimed. "Very well, it all began not long after your great-grandfather Naruto Uzumaki had begun his time at the Ninja academy, the Uchiha Clan had been under turmoil with the Hidden Leaf Village and because of this and their displeasure of being treated as outcasts in their own village that was indeed founded by Madara Uchiha and Haashirama Senju, they elected to attempt a coupe detate… a revolt in simpler terms." Fukusaku began to explain.
"I know what a coupe detate is!" Narashi exclaimed, waving his hands to make the toad continue. "In order to save the village from cival war… the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi along with the ninja council bequeathed an Uchiha with the task of eradicating the Uchiha and being branded a criminal for doing so… that person was Itachi Uchiha. He completed his mission, albeit leaving his little brother Sasuke Uchiha alive to be the hero of the Uchiha clan." Fukusaku explained.
"What the actual hell!? Why would the Leaf do something so horrible to their own brothers!?" Narashi shouted in horror. "The Uchiha clan have been labeled a clan of darkness for so long… the village feared their power being used against them having had done so once before with Madara Uchiha and later down the road with Obito Uchiha… Orochimaru wanted to create an Uchiha with the incentive to protect the leaf, and Takashi Uchiha is the by product of that experiment." Fukusaku explained.
"Takashi is a clone!?" Narashi shouted. "Yes, a perfect one made by the DNA collective of Itachi, Obito and Madara Uchiha… but I think… personally that Takashi found out about his origins and the Uchiha clans darkest secret… and he's vowed to destroy the leaf and liberate the Uchiha from existence as a means of ending his own retched existence." Fukusaku explained, continuing to discuss his theories.
Uraika arrived at the location of the scroll, it had in fact taken him to the final valley in itself. "Strange to take me back to this place… distant memories..." Uraika muttered thinking back to his fight with Narashi at this very place. The Uchiha examined the scroll and followed the directions till he found himself at the foot of Sasuke's statue that overlooked the waterfall.
The Uchiha read the scroll and then activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. "Amaterasu!" Uraika shouted, his left eye forming viens and bled as the black flames hit the foot and shrouded it holding it there for a minute he then shut his eyes and dispelled the flames, a door way showing in the foot of the statue. The Uchiha deactivated his Mangekyou and walked into the depths of the statue, going deep into the earth until he found a small room with a large stone chest.
The Uchiha walked to the large chest and slowly opened it, finding two scrolls, he pulled them both out seeing the one that wrote 'read first' the Uchiha grunted a moment as he opened the scroll and read it aloud.
"To whomever it may concern.
If you have found this scroll, it means you are the one destined to carry on my legacy as the hero of the Uchiha clan… this scroll is proof that I am no longer of this world but have used this time to implement a few intergrated secrets that will help you understand the struggles of our clan in its time to where it might be today. Found below this scroll is a summoning circle, use the jutsu of summoning to reveal an asset that will continue your path down the road of salvation… and the other scroll contains a dark secret that will help you understand the vindications that Uchiha have had to endure in order to escape their cursed path.
Find your path and make things right.
Sasuke Uchiha"
Uraika was surprised to find this was written by Sasuke, and then placed the scroll down and used the summoning technique to reveal what it was, his eyes widening in absolute shock at what it was, but said nothing as he took to the other scroll and opened it. "The Uchiha clan massacre…" Uraika muttered, placing his hand on the scroll and was instantly flooded with Sasuke's memories pertaining the death of his clan, the objective of his brother Itachi and the bids to helping restore the Uchiha as well as Takashi's creation.
The Uchiha grabbed his eyes and screamed out, as the memories flooding him were a bit much to swallow, and in the end he ended up vomiting as well, as he composed himself. "No wonder… Takashi is bent on destroying us…. He's crazy though…" Uraika grunted, gritting his teeth, while clutching the item of Sasuke's possession.
"So now that you know the truth… what do you intend to do…" Fukasaku asked Narashi who held a firm frown his face, at the same time Uraika was getting to his feet holding the item in his hand. "This changes nothing… in fact, this continues my resolve…" both of them were saying at the same time, Narashi's eyes slightly changing to that of frog eyes, Uraika's Mangekyou activating.
"To free the Uchiha clan from their darkness once and for all!" They both shouted.
Chapter 5 – The Forbidden 5 – The end of the Stone Village.
"The Forbidden five!?" The Raikage shouted in horror, having made the conference call happen between himself, the Tsuchikage and Shirahoshi the Hokage. "Yes, the Kazekage was able to leave a message of which was delivered to myself before her end, it read 'He possess the F5." Shirahoshi explained. "I'm afraid I am a little unfamiliar with the Forbidden Five." The Tsuchikage explained, being the younger one of the lot. "Understandable…" Shirahoshi sighed, before explaining.
"Long ago… probably as long as the times of Hagaromo and Hamura Otsutsuki… Ninshuu was developing into something that would be later revered as chakra and ninjutsu… along the way of things, the five elements became apparent and from this chakra nature was established." Shirahoshi began to explain.
"But a particular shinobi of power hungry nature exploited the limits of these elements and created five intensely insane elemental jutsu. Planetary Meteor Devestation of the Fire Element, Almighty Hurricane of the Wind Element, Supreme Water prison of the Water Element, the Great Chasm Destructive of the Earth and the Supreme Kirin of the Lightning element. The person in question was so dangerous that he ended up having his body and soul separated from one another… I guess much in the same manner as Fuuinjakku and his soul was divided into five scrolls, each containing the Forbidden Five elemental jutsu… each scroll was given to the Five-Great Nations to safeguard… but about 20 years ago they went missing…" Shirahoshi explained.
"So we're safe to say that Takashi has them and has learnt their knacks and he's now using them to wipe out the Five Main villages of the Five-Great Nations." The Raikage snarled. "Yes, and this means that both you and the Hidden Stone are on their list of attack." Shirahoshi explained. "And you're not?" The Tsuchikage explained. "I believe we are too… but I have a feeling that Takashi is going to target us last, as we are the root of his ambitions." Shirahoshi replied.
"So in other words… The Stone and Lightning should unite our fronts in order to prevent them from striking us individually…" The Raikage responded, the Tsuchikage nodding. "They may have the edge on us in one village attacks, but they wouldn't be able to deal with two villages." The Tsuchikage replied. "Alright, we'll come to your village Tsuchikage, it will be the longest route from where Takashi may be residing so it would give us more time to prepare. I'll leave my Genin lot behind; I don't want them involved in this affair." The Raikage explained. "That is a good idea, I will send my Genin lot to your village to safeguard them as well." The Tsuchikage replied, turning to Shirahoshi. "You better brace your village for impact too… should we fail…" The Tsuchikage began to say.
"You won't fail, I promise that… but yes, I will be preparing the village for a potential attack." Shirahoshi explained. "Good luck you two, stay alive." Shirahoshi told them before turning off the monitor.
"Lord Takashi, it's exactly as you anticipated." Kaiba told the male, who glanced over at his second-hand man. "So the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud have united their fronts on a somewhat expected attack from us? Good… they've played right into my hands." Takashi mused, getting to his feet. "Who do we dispatch this time?" Kaiba asked, the masked Uchiha turning to face the other. "No one, I can handle this one on my own." Takashi explained, Kaiba a little astonished. "Is your body up to the challenge, you've been coming back very chakra exhausted from using those forbidden five jutsu." Kaiba explained.
"Those jutsu consume a lot of chakra, this much is true… but my ambitions far exceed a measly chakra loss… I can handle it just fine… in any case, I'm always on the aspect of preparing a back up plan just in case of emergency…" Takashi mused, vanishing in a vortex.
A day and a half had passed and the Hidden Cloud Jounin/Chuunin and Raikage had arrived at the Hidden Stone and had made preperations to send the Stone Genin to the Cloud village for protection. "Lord Tsuchikage! We have an intruder in the village!" a Stone shinobi shouted. "What already!? I thought we had more time than this! Who is it and how did they get past our defences!?" The Tsuchikage asked. "It looks to be Takashi Uchiha himself! He appeared via some form of teleportation technique!" The shinobi responded. "It must be that Kamui trick of Obito Uchiha's… that Orochimaru… if he were still alive I'd gladly put him to the dirt myself." The Tsuchikage snarled. "Raikage, we will deal to this ourselves, no sense spilling blood of the shinobi." The Tsuchikage muttered.
"Understood Goba…" The Raikage responded, earning a smile from the Tsuchikage known now as Goba. "Been a while since I was addressed by my first name… I guess the honour goes back to you… Koka." Goba explained, the Raikage known as Koka smirked. "Let's kick this Uchiha's ass back to next week!" Koka shouted.
"How very pathetic of the village to not even have any welcoming committee… I've been here nearly five minutes now and not a single person here to greet me. I have to express my annoyance… Tsuchikage, Raikage…." Takashi explained, phasing to the right hand side of his standing point, the two Kage's skidding past him, surprised he had evaded them both. "It's one thing to not greet a person when they come to your villages… but attacking from behind only displays ones cowardice." Takashi mused, glancing at them with Eternal Mangekyou activated.
"Don't try to play the coy act Takashi! We know you're in possession of the Five Forbidden Elemental Jutsu! If you think we don't know how to truly counter them, then you're in for a rude awakening!" Koka shouted, having initiated his lightning armour traditional to the Raikage's before him. "Oh dear… my entire plan has been unraveled by the two Kage standing in front of me… I guess I should retreat and rethink my actions." Takashi sighed, beginning to warp away with his Kamui.
"Something about that isn't right, he wouldn't give up that easily…" The Raikage snarled, the Tsuchikage nodding. Takashi vanished from that moment, and an eerie silence fell upon the village. "I don't get it… did he actually retreat on that?" Koka asked in surprise, Goba unsure himself. "Your naivety is going to be your undoing…" said a voice from behind the two Kage, the men spinning around only to be sucked into a vortex of Takashi's creation, sending them into the dimension of the Kamui where they landed on a platform and glared around.
"He just transported us to another dimension!? What is he planning?" The Tsuchikage asked, the Raikage glaring around. "What does he intend to do!? Keep us contained in here!?" Koka shouted, his lightning armour intensifiying making his hair raise up on end. "Not likely! Grab onto me Goba! I'm going to use my speed to break a hole in the time-space!" Koka shouted, the Tsuchikage grabbing the males shoulder and nodded. "I am ready!" Goba shouted, Koka glaring ahead of himself, before crouching into position, and then launched himself forward with enough speed and force that he was indeed able to shatter a hole in the time-space continuum allowing him and the Tsuchikage to return back to the Stone village, where Takashi was waiting.
"I have to admit, I'm quite surprised… not many have been able to say they have escaped the Kamui dimension without of course being let out by yours truly…" Takashi explained, clapping in a manner of which suggested sarcasm. "Cut the crap Takashi! There was no way we were going to let you have your way with the village while we were trapped there!" Koka shouted angrily. "Oh that's great… truly chivalrous behaviour Koka of the Lightning Bolt… but I must enquire…" Takashi muttered, a dark shadow forming around his Mangekyou eyes as he spoke.
"What village might that be…?" Takashi asked.
"What are you talking ab-!" Koka stopped mid-sentence when he looked around, his face turned to horror as he saw nothing but rubble littered around the Hidden Stone, bodies scortched and bloodied, signs of electricity being eminent around via static blasts. "You…. What have you…. DONE?!" Goba shouted in pure anger and shock. "I merely used the time it took you to escape to simply… destroy the village and all it's inhabitants." Takashi explained, folding his arms.
"Oh… and don't think I don't know about your Genin lot taking refuge in the Hidden Cloud…" Takashi explained, the Raikage turning to face Takashi, his lightning armour in full force. "YOU….!" Koka hissed. "If you plan to ask me where the Genin are… they're most likely…. Not alive." Takashi replied, the Raikage launching himself into Takashi's frame at near blinding speed. "What is this!?" Takashi shouted in horror, his eyes fully wide to the situation. "I WON'T LET YOU LIVE TAKASHI UCHIHA! MACH FIVE FIST!" Koka shouted, throwing his fist at severe speeds and power of which struck Takashi heavily in the gut, the male showing pain via blood escaping through the gaps of the mask around his mouth.
The Uchiha frame flew a great deal across the devastated village and broke through a few walls before coming to a stop at the village entrance wall, going up in a huge ball of smoke and debris. When the smoke cleared the body of Takashi lay there looking rather motionless and dead all the while. "Rot in hell…. You Uchiha freak…." Koka scowled, gasping for air. "Well done Koka… had that actually been me… that may have very well killed me." A voice spoke from behind Koka who turned around in time to be smashed across the face by a fist, sending him skidding back. "What the actual hell!?" Koka shouted, rubbing his cheek in shock. "HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?" Koka roared at him. "The real question you should be asking is… how could you betray your own comrade in arms like you did?" Takashi mused, his Mangekyou eyes widening and released a pulsation of which released the distortion of the area around him, the Kage and the supposed dead Takashi.
"What the hell do you mean by that!?" Koka shouted, turning his head around to see the dead corpse of Takashi, his jaw dropping and his eyes widening at horror at what transpired. Instead of Takashi being dead at the entrance, it was in fact Goba the Tsuchikage that had been attacked and killed by the Raikage.
"What the hell… how the hell!?" Koka shouted, glaring at the Uchiha in full boiled rage. "You…. Did you….?" He snarled. "Did I what? Did I cast a genjutsu on you when you escaped my Kamui and change your visual aspects to make you think that I was Goba and Goba was me? Then yes, you'd be correct in that accusation." Takashi explained. "This particular genjutsu works in the matter that allowed me to trick your visual optics into seeing things in a different perspective. So in other words, you attacked Goba, thinking you were attacking me." Takashi explained, forming some hand-seals.
The Uchiha then stuck his palms out and released a stream of chakra from his hands of which contracted around the Raikage and then sealed him within a ball of purple chakra that seemed to transport the Raikage into a strange dimension. "W-Wait a minute! This is!" The Raikage suddenly grabbed his head and began to scream in agony as sensations in his brain began to send him spiraling into insanity. "I will admit, this normal technique wouldn't necessarily work against a Kage… but given the psychological trauma I not long inflicted onto you with the death of your comrades and fellow Kage… It made it all the more easier to use this jutsu on you…" Takashi mused, forming a long series of handseals.
"But… just in case you can manage yourself… this is the end." Takashi explained, leaping back a great deal then slammed his hands on the ground. "EARTH STYLE – GREAT CHASM DESTRUCTION!" Takashi shouted, the ground around Takashi beginning to shake tremendously, these quakes would be felt even in Mt Myobokuzan, but more importantly in the Hidden Leaf where Shirahoshi was sitting at her table with her head in her arms.
Within minutes of the trembling, the ground at Takashi's feet began to split and divide, creating a gigantic chasm that opened up more and more, sucking all the destroyed buildings and corpses down into the abyss below, the chakra formation surrounding the Raikage began to fell, just as the Kage was recomposing himself and ready to break free. As he did, he glared around. "The Forbidden Earth style! I'll just get out of here with my speed…!" Koka shouted. "I think not….!" Takashi shouted, forming another two seals then slammed his palms together. "You don't think I know this Jutsu's massive flaw! I've countered that flaw with this! Earth Style – Earth Restoration Impact!" Takashi slammed his palms to the ground, and almost as quickly as the ground separated, it quickly slid itself back into place, trapping the Raikage nearly 10km underground.
"I know this alone won't kill you… but rather than waiting for you to suffocate…" Takashi formed another series of handseals in long succession, before releasing a fireball into the sky. "Lightning Style – Supreme Kirin devestation!" Takashi rose his hand beginning to control the lightning above, sending another blast upwards of which created a Kirin face that encompassed the entire sky above the Hidden Stone village. "Begone.." Takashi mused, lowering his hand while vanishing via Kamui.
A huge blast of lightning the size of the entire village struck down and set the place ablaze in a massive nuclear like explosion, far worse than what the Plantery Meteor Devestation had done, even with the Mighty Hurricane added to it. Shirahoshi felt the vibrations, the shockwaves that shattered all the windows in the leaf, but she didn't move from her spot, she only sat there with his arms over her face, her face fighting back tears. "Forgive me Koka…Goba… rest in peace….." She thought to herself, the smoke eventually dying down from the now crater that was the hidden stone.
The Raikage having been unearthed by the attack motionless on the ground, another shot panned to the Hidden Cloud of which was gone also, lost in a deep chasm that Takashi had used while the others were escaping his Kamui.
"Four of the Five Great Nations are gone…" Takashi mused, watching the smouldering village from afar. "Now this only leaves one place… the true source of my vengeance… The Hidden Leaf…. I will take some time for this one… for I plan to savour it, each and every moment of it…" Takashi added, vanishing away.
