A Few Hours Later-Border of Fire Country-Noon

Shinobi were people that were expected to do the job that not many others would do, they would do whatever was expected of them in order to complete their mission, even kill other people to finish it. Every ninja was expected to kill down the line, but of course, there were branches of Shinobi forces that allowed those that did not want the darker part of their job. However, there were shinobi that did not follow the same feeling as the rest, they did not care for the lives they took since in their mind it was either their opponent or themselves, quite an easy choice right? Well, at least it was to Yami. Anyways there were also shinobi that did not follow the same rules that almost all Ninja forces in the Elemental Nations live by. One of them would not want to carry out a mission that would end up in the death of his own comrades, unfortunately, he ended up being hated by the village, was treated as a traitor and ended up losing his own life to suicide. Another could not kill the innocent members of his family and had another do it, even though the man was expected to kill almost all of his clan.

These types of shinobi are people that care for their family/friends/comrades more than they care for their own village unlike those that put their village at the top of their priorities. It was those type of shinobi that Yami truly respected and emulated, Yami never cared for Konoha nor its people-baring some-everything he did was for his family, those he cared for. It was for this reason that the Uchiha was currently slicing a bandit in half before cutting off an arm belonging to the bandit attempting to pierce it through his chest and slamming Yamato right through the man's heart. That was exactly what would have been done to him if he didn't kill the man, so as he looked over the two dead members of his twelve-man patrol squad-which included Team 11-all he felt was pity, he had seen them come close to taking down their own opponents but when presented with the opportunity to kill, they froze. The katana-wielding teen shook his head, they should never have become shinobi, it's either fight or die on missions like these.

Of course, you don't have to kill EVERY shinobi in battle as evidenced by the lone survivor currently sweating, defecating and urinating himself all while having his eyes fully open although he couldn't see out of them at the moment. After the spar with Nihila, Yami was about to take her to that barbecue place heard about, unfortunately, an Anbu popped up and told him Team 11 was summoned to the Hokage's office for a border patrol mission. Apparently, the Hokage believed that Team 11 was strong enough to handle them, and he was right but having to leave when he was about to take her out annoyed him. Their B-Rank mission was simple, some bandits were attacking the border patrol from the North and they were requesting backup since there was a great amount of them, and they had former shinobi in their ranks. Needless to say, once Team 11 there the situation got contained quick but they were told to leave at least five survivors alive, so picking what seemed the conveniently five commanding officers was an easy task for the four-man squad.

He had already dealt with the last of the bandits and captured the last survivor, the man that was being mentally tortured by his Sharingan-induced genjutsu was mercifully forced into unconsciousness by Yami commanded his genjutsu to do that. He sealed the man into a scroll, he would not be touching that man's dirty clothes, but after packing the scroll Yami looked to see something very interesting. There, a yard away was Aoi Rokushō, the stealer of the Second Hokage's Raijin sword and the man had the blade on hand. Yami grinned, he had been searching for that sword, and in extension the man who held it, now he found both in the same place. Seemed like Lady Luck was finally blessing him. Thank You. And honest to Kami he heard someone say 'Your welcome!'

Yami then created a thin chakra blade from his left hand and the fingers that were extended, as Aoi activated the Raijin sword, the man smirked and though 'HA! With this Raijin sword, I will be able to beat all of these people, its a shame about my group but I'll at least be able to loot their corpses.' so as he was about to charge, his opponent disappeared and the next moment he didn't feel the sword in his hand. Actually, he couldn't even feel his hand. So he looked down and seen his hand gone, perfectly cut off his wrist, he looked up and seen cold black eyes staring right at him, then he screamed. All Yami did was take off the hand that belonged to Aoi with his unoccupied left hand and gripped the handle to get a feel for it while ignoring the screaming man in front of him.

The Uchiha then silenced the best annoying him by raising the lightning sword above him and casually swinging the sword downward while controlling the lightning to be pinpoint sharp. The result: Aoi Rokushō was cut directly in half. Yami then deactivated the sword and chakra-wrote in the air and created a seal for the Raijin blade directly on his shoulder. The form of it was a Lighting bolt but there was kanji written all over it revealing that it was a seal of custom design. Yami then grabbed a sealing scroll from his pouch and sealed Aoi's head in it after he cut it off so he could get the man's bounty it was currently 200,000 Ryo from Konoha.

The Uchiha walked to his squad members and reported to Yamato "Aoi Rokusho, it seems he was part of this bandit group."

Yamato nodded to him and stated, "The prisoners will be able to tell us more when we get then to the TI division."

Yami hummed, then suddenly he felt an ache in his chest it was growing enough that groaned in discomfort and took a knee, Yamato noticed and spoke aloud "Yami! Are you ok?" The man looked at the Uchiha but took a step back when his subordinate looked up at him with their eyes focused on one another.

Yami looked confused at why Yamato would react like that to him when all he did was look at him, he soon got his answer when Kitsuke came up with Sai, he was normal until he tensed when he looked at Yami, he had even started sweating before he spoke "Yami, why are your eyes red like that?"

"Red?" Yami repeated. The teenager brought out Yamato from the strap holding it to the left side of his hip and unsheathed the blade only to bear witness his own crimson eyes but they were not the Sharingan. The only times he had ever witnessed his pure red eyes was when-

"I accessed my Negativity." he muttered. Something happened at the moment his Negativity came out and though he mastered the power it was to an extent, there was still so much he was still learning about his Negativity Manipulation. But one thing he knew about it was that whenever there was a high concentration of negativity, his eyes would always glow brightly so that meant something dark or evil was just summoned to this world. Either that or there was a very evil or dark thing going on that it had his own power reacting to it, so taking a few deep breaths Yami calmed the negative power within him. He then spoke "I don't know what happened at that moment but may tell you that secret once we get to know each other better." his team nodded and each of them got to work dealing with all of the bodies of the deceased bandit's, but Yami was doing so with a mind filled with thoughts.

A Few Seconds Ago-Unknown Location

There were five coffins set upright and lined up horizontally, the one before all of the others had the kanji for "First" the one after had he kanji for "Second" the third coffin had the kanji for "Fourth" the coffin after that possessed had a whirlpool and the final coffin had the kanji for "Ghost". There were two men in front of the coffins with the younger man holding a demonic mask in his right hand. The first man had a snake-like appearance, possessing very pale skin, golden eyes with slitted pupils, purple markings around his eyes and fang-like teeth. He also has pronounced cheekbones and straight waist-length black hair with some locks covering and framing his face or to his shoulders. His clothing consisted of plain grey garbs with a black polo and pants underneath, with a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back, blue tomoe-shaped earrings, complete with shinobi sandals with bandages around his calves. This was Orochimaru, the wielder of the snake contract and former member of the Sannin.

His companion possessed ash-grey hair, which was kept in a spiky ponytail and onyx eyes, he was currently wearing a dark purple shirt with a high collar, a white under-shirt, and dark purple pants with a white cloth waistband. This was Kabuto Yakushi, the right-hand man of the Snake Sannin.

Orochimaru spoke to Kabuto "Now that I have mastered this Jutsu it is time to bring about my perfect subordinates." they looked behind them and lo and behold there were five people bound by rope, gagged and wearing chakra sealing tags, there were, four men and one female. Their names were Jirobo, Kidomaru, Sakon, Tayuya, and finally the last of the Kaguya clan, Kimimaro. Each were the most powerful pawns that he possessed.

'Well besides Kabuto' thought the snake-like man. He then executed many handseals in just a few seconds and spoke aloud "Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!" Immediately a seal formed beneath the four of the five sacrifices leaving Kimimaro untouched and a circle formed underneath each of them. The next moment the four yelled out in excruciating pain and at the same time, dust and ash started covering their bodies, transforming them into someone else. A few moments after, the process was over and Orochimaru threw four kunai with control tags on them at the shinobi and the weapons sunk into their heads. The evil man grabbed the demonic mask from his subordinate's hand while stating "Now just one more."

He then placed the mask on his face and immediately he was shrouded with chakra and from that chakra came the Shinigami. The Death God was translucent but he was also much larger than an average human and he possessed long, shaggy, white hair, with two red horns protruding from the hair, as well as having purple-colored skin. It is draped in a large white kimono and carrying a set of prayer beads. There was also a tanto in the Shinigami's mouth, which is then used to cut open it's own stomach, a second later the same wound appeared on Orochimaru but with him, blood was gushing out and he was screaming in pain. While blood flowed from the snake's wound, a soul was brought out of the Shinigami's stomach wandered around for a bit before floating in front of the Kaguya.

The Shinigami oddly enough had wide eyes for merely a moment before disappearing, doing whatever it did. Orochimaru, on the other hand, took off the mask and yelled out again "Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!" The soul that was in front Kimimaro, absorbed itself into the man causing him to roar out in pain and then dust and ash started forming on him just like the others. After it was done, Orochimaru smirked with blood dripping down his mouth. He then opened his mouth a large white snake, his true form now, and he dashed across the area before entering the mouth of his new vessel. He has timed this right so he could move to a new body on the same day of forming his new elite guard. Orochimaru now had a gleeful look on his face, Konoha would be facing some pressing times in the near future he mused while looking at the people he resurrected.

The Land Of Waves-Present Time-Naruko's Mindscape

Kurami had her eyes wide open, she had felt the Death God enter this plane of existence as well as the other half of her chakra!

"Naruko!" Kurami roared out.

Naruko appeared in their shared space and she replied "What is it Kurami!"

"The Shinigami has been summoned to this world, I know this since my other half was sealed within the death god. But not only that, my Yin chakra has been summoned as well, your father has been reanimated by that snake." Kurami revealed.

Naruko's eyes went wide, then fury took over, that bastard snake had defiled her father's body and used in such an evil manner, she would make sure to teach him Uzumaki justice and shove Rasengan through his ass!

Naruko spoke with an agitated tone "He must be using his body to attack Konoha like Yami's spy-clones said." Yami had made hundreds of clones and sent them with enough chakra to spy on potential problems, once some squads of clones learned that Orochimaru was the Kage of the Sound Village, they had immediately dashed to the village and integrated themselves enough to get information about an invasion on Konoha during the Chunin exams. Yami learned that Orochimaru was planning on using the Hokage and her mother's body, she had gotten so angry over it and hearing that it actually happened brought that anger back, but she'll be patient for her opportunity.

She then left the mindscape planning for the day she'll kill Orochimaru.

Border Of Fire Country

Yami was out on the lookout for any possible enemies coming to this base, the team would only be on the watch for a couple of more hours but until then he was just looking at nothi-.

Yami quickly took Yamato out of its sheath and turned behind him, because there was the Shinigami with his tanto poised for combat, he then heard it roar at him with its gravely voice "Ultimate Renegade why are you here!"

Yami felt pain, pain unlike any roaring at him in his head and it made him drop Yamato and grab his head in pain as he was experiencing painful memories of a life not his own and yet it was at the same time, unfortunately, he was in the perfect state for the Shinigami to kill him.

The Shinigami raised his tanto to him to end the Uchiha's life, fortunately, he was blocked by the most unexpected person, S.

S punched the Death God away from him, and he roared out in anger while having glowing orange slitted eyes at the Death God "Shinigami! Begone From Here Before I Destroy You!" Power was flowing off of him and the Shinigami was feeling the devastating effect of the man's power and he was feeling something new, Fear. He quickly vanished preparing to speak to his sister about this predicament of the long fallen Agent of Darkness returning.

S's angry visage calmed itself and he looked to the screaming teen and waited several minutes when Yami was able to get up and looked at him out of breath from the flashes of memories, they were broken and not that many but he saw S in those flashes of memories.

Yami spoke a bit out of breath "W-What-t was that, who are you really?"

S sighed and spoke quick "Look, please I'll tell you another time or learn on your own, the Shinigami opened the crack in the seal I placed on you and now you explore the contents it contains. Once you figure it out, you'll come to me." S then smirked.

Yami felt he could give him a break, after all, he helped him out many times so Yami put out his fist and S fist-bumped it and in a flash S disappeared.

Yami then grabbed Yamato, and looked at the blade and spoke "If I am gonna get even more powerful then I have got to unlock the true power of this sword." Yami then channeled his chakra into the sword and tried to feel out for a connection and a moment past he then found one.

"Yami Uchiha, my wielder. At last you have decided to speak to me, what do you wish to know?" Yamato said.

"From what I know your power was never used to its greatest potential, you have the ability to slice into dimensions and right through blades of steel. Your power depends greatly upon your user but together we become something greater SO LETS COME UP WITH SOME COMBOS!"

Yami couldn't see Yamato's face but he knew that the sword was deadpanning at him.

A Few Hours Later-Konoha Senju Park- Dusk-

Yami was walking with Nihila just enjoy the sweet sounds of the leaves rustling, after all, it was Fall. When he got back to the compound, Nihila demanded that they go out on a date but one of her own choosing, not one to argue, Yami just went with it. He followed the female dragon around the park and it seemed that they were going nowhere but he knew better, his black and white-haired dragon familiar was searching for a secluded spot where they wouldn't be interrupted. They had finally reached an area that had flowers around and he knew where they were, this part of the park was called Sun's Inferno, named for the flowers that are created there. The flowers were orange with bits of yellow on them like a regular flame, their name was simply Sun's Flame, they were rare and only grew in the early fall oddly enough, and after a few weeks, all of the Dragon Flame flowers would shrivel up and die at the exact same time, which would be around the time that it would start to get chilly.

The special thing about these flowers was that it was actually experimented that these flowers could be used to being stronger bonds between couples, marriages that were close to divorce were saved by channeling chakra into a field of these flowers. No one in Konoha had a good explanation for it but the flowers just brought two people in love with each other even closer to one another than they were before. So he knew why she was bringing him here but he did not know what exactly she brought him here for, and he was about to get that answer.

Nihila placed her hand behind her back and intertwined her fingers, looked at the flowers in front of her and started speaking "You know, my clan studies the soul more than most people actually do." She paused looking even more intently at the flowers, Yami only raised his right eyebrow wondering where she was going with this.

"It is how we know that two souls can be bonded to one another, like how you and I first bonded our own souls together, but there is a better and more understanding way." the emerald-eyed female dragon continued.

Yami stayed silent for a moment before speaking up "And what does it entail?"

Nihila smiled softly and replied "It connects two creatures souls together, forever. The process would have both of them relive the memories and feelings of their mate in those moments, you could do this with whoever you wanted but it would have to be consensual. This is one of the reasons I value this more than sex any day, well that and the amount of pleasure it gives is even better than having sex."

Yami knew where this was going now "So you want to connect our souls, you do know that you and I have only met not even a full week ago right? What would happen if you decided that you are not happy with being with me?"

Nihila's smile grew even bigger not that Yami could see it and she answered with confidence "I could never decide such a thing since you are truly the perfect one for me, you have the power to dominate me, the heart to love all the women in your family, you would protect those that are close to you, found anything to make sure they are happy, and you yourself have already decided that you believe this relationship can work."

Her beloved's confused scrunched up face made her giggle and so she clarified it for him "Before, you spoke of only if I would be unhappy with our relationship, you never said anything about yourself." she spoke with mirth evident in her tone.

After hearing that Yami pouted a bit, usually, he would not miss details like that so it was a bit of a blow to him but this meant that he would have to watch what he would way around his mate or else it Nihila could turn it around on him, just like now. With his little slip-up, the female dragon already knew that he had cared for her and that he wouldn't rethink anything concerning his part of their relationship, but he wanted to make sure that she didn't either. He didn't want to initiate something that would be regretted sometime later and possibly go through a severe problem. But it seemed that his fears were unfounded and the scythe-wielding dragon loved him as much as he loved her, they had spent time together after their first battle and she had shown him around their home before they had to be teleported back to the Elemental Nations. Add in the time they spent here and you get a relatively short relationship that had many meaningful moments together, it would not have gotten to this point if they made the time they spent together meaningful.

Yami reciprocated her smile and spoke again "Well, I guess I care greatly for you then." He received a nod from her and her detached her fingers from one another and made her way to her beloved Uchiha.

Before she was right in front of him Yami curiously stated "So how do we, connect our souls as you said."

Nihila stipped right in front of him and began explaining "It's relatively simple really, you must have a physical connection to each other, and a mental one. We already have the last one since we bonded we could feel each other's emotions in-depth, right?" she asked for to be sure.

Thankfully, he nodded to her, he was able to feel whenever she was enjoying a food battle against him, or the food he had cooked for her, or whenever she had lusted for him when she would intentionally try to rip off his shirt. He was thinking about placing some reinforcement and repair seals on all of his clothes so they do not get destroyed that easily after their training.

Yami then felt a bit confused, again "Wait, what do you mean a physical connection between us?"

The answer he was given was Nihila kissing him passionately while having her hands on his sculpted chest, while he was not muscle-bound like certain people, he had a well defined six-pack.

Sneeze* came from one man in an office knocking over all of his paperwork thus angering him and causing him to 'spar' against his brother again with 'spar' meaning to use his Iron Claw on the Jinchuuriki multiples times until he loses all of his hatred of paperwork. Then from there, he will have to go back signing paperwork.

Back to our lovebirds, if one were to look at it from a normal view, all they would see is to hormonal teenagers simply making out with one another, but that was not what was going on. As Nihila said, they both were experiencing the memories of each other, Yami was seeing Nihila's childhood, he saw how she loved to keep things of value close to her and that she would be quite possessive of them. That path had led to him finding out that was how Nihila viewed him except that she loved him but she would allow no one to take her place from her. Seems she would get along with the rest of the girls since they wouldn't allow that either and they made it VERY clear to each other. But back to the memory-viewing, he felt her rage whenever some arrogant member of her clan decided to mess with her and take a treasure of hers, he had also seen what had happened to them and all he has to say was that she was simply amazing.

It wasn't only the good things that he saw about her since he also bore witness to Nihila actually being afraid of her powers since they could erase someone just by touching unless the person was powerful enough to repel it. Not only that but she actually felt as if she was inferior to her mother and brother, aforementioned people hadn't even known about this fact this she never told anyone but with this connection now happening between them, there would literally be no secrets between them. And she knew it, this type of ability would allow for the trust between the two of them to blossom greatly, there could be no doubts about the other and they would be able to understand each other in a greater length than any other person. But the memory viewing was hardly finished, Nihila was protective not just of her treasures but of those that were close to her heart, and what did not surprise him in the least was that his mate was a tomboy. It fit how she acted, not caring for how others would view her, and definitely not afraid to get dirty in a fight. He would keep going through her memories until the moment she kissed him and it stopped after that.

But just as he was watching her memories, Nihila was watching his own, she felt the euphoria when he awakened his chakra and then his fatigue when he passed out. When his parents died Yami had lost a part of himself, a big one, and Nihila felt that pain, the pain he suffered was unlike any she ever felt before. This didn't even happen to her and yet this pain felt so real, she then felt the rage take over when he faced the man in the mask. Then there was a blur she didn't even get to see what happened but the next moment she saw was Yami holding the Blades Of Chaos that he wielded in a charge against the masked man.

While they were going through each other's memories, as they were passionately kissing each other, Nihila had tears coming out of her eyes and Yami held her a bit harder, a bit protective.

Nihila witnessed Yami get comforted by Naruko and Satsuki and watched all of the years that the trio had together and watched as he fought against her but after he beat her she saw no more.

The separate memory viewing was done, but the soul connecting wasn't over, now that they both have viewed each other's lives, their souls can now potentially connect. In the soul version of their world, there was was a black sphere where his heart would be, and there was a violet sphere in Nihila's place. Black tentacle-like constructs flew from Yami's soul and towards Nihila's while the female dragons had the same happen to her but with her own color. The soul connectors grab one another, this was the ultimate test to see if seeing everything that they have done in their lives would possibly change how they feel one another. But it took only a moment and they accepted each other, now a majority of each of their souls started traveling down their own connector while leaving just enough soul energy for the body to live off.

Each of their souls got closer and closer and once they were in distance of one another, the souls spread off a bunch of other connectors connecting themselves further. What was happening at the moment was both Yami and Nihila's souls were grabbing each other in their own intimate way. However, it didn't bring creation but it was a more intimate way to show your love by truly give them your body and your soul. But regarding children, by creating a child, the new soul of the child would siphon a part of the parent's power to their own and the child would be born even more powerful and have a greater power range.

It may have felt like forever but the process took merely thirty minutes and when they awoke, they saw the each had bruised lips and hickeys around each other's necks, as well as scratch marks on Yami's back all the way through his clothing. They looked into each other's eyes all that broke the silence was Yami.

"That...was..." he started.

"Amazing?" Nihila finished.

Yami nodded, that was honestly one of the best experiences he actually felt, connecting their souls together like that felt great. But their day wasn't done just yet, so he swept his woman from under her legs and started carrying her to the Uchiha Compound, and she seemed to get the idea. While they weren't going to have sex, this connection had increased the love they had for each other and they just couldn't get enough of each other and so the rest of their day was just making out and eventually Yami making their dinner. But that was when their dinner had gotten interrupted, by welcome company."

Naruko was chatting with Satsuki about the upcoming Chunin exams when both powerful kunoichis had caught the scent of strong pheromones as well as a female and so the both of them burst into their home and bore witness to Yami serving Nihila some of his greatly cooked food.

Yami and Nihila looked at the pair and all that was said was.

"Welcome back, you want some?" which had come from the Uchiha patriarch.

I know I know, everyone hates Cliffhangers but it was just too tempting, now the next chapter will be the final filler chapter until the Chunin exams arrive. I'm not gonna be saying much but that it will include more screen time for Naruko and Satsuki. I know many of you are confused about the Shinigami appearing and S dealing with him, it will not be explained, anytime soon so you'll have to wait for that. Anyways it's time for me to go and for you to wait for the next chapter,

Now As Always Review And...

Have A Blessed Day.
