This chapter finishes up the Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission arc and due to how it ends, the latter half is a side story that I have been waiting to make for a few weeks now. So the main story progression is on the shorter side. I would have put the Twelve Guardian Shinobi arc (aka the Sora arc) in here but I really do not like the idea of combining arcs in one chapter.
Thank you so much for the fave, follows and reviews! It's always a blast reading what you guys have to say. Not to mention it's fun seeing how many abridge fans there are.
Ringo1327: You're welcome! Thank you so much for the idea, I'm glad that you like the adding of the Egyptian Gods.
IsraAl'Attia-Theron: I'm a huge fan of the abridged series and it just keeps getting better, cannot wait for him to do season 5 and watch everyone not take Bakura seriously even though everyone keeps dying. XD Madara will get some screen time soon… very soon actually. You'll see.
crazby: Yay! Unleash the inner Jiraiya young padawan! Glad you liked the KimiNeji scene. Thank you for pointing out that typo, I fixed it up almost as soon as I read your review!
Yurei Hanatsuki: 4kids fucked up a lot of really good shows and changed them up as well, even as a kid I knew Egypt was around 3000 years ago, not 5000. I think they changed it so Yugioh seemed more futuristic. Also that is a fine wrench you had, be a shame if it got dirty from the busted kneecaps. :P
Pr1nc3ss K3nny: Glad you liked the chapter! Yugioh is honestly better if you stick with the Japanese subtitles (which are fansubbed, no official translations sadly) or the manga which is dark as hell and I love it. Sasori as a bear would be scary, considering it had button eyes, it had no expressions besides the casual tilt of the head… reminds me of Michael Myers from the original Halloween when he was under the bed sheet.
CatchingRainbows: Glad you like the pairing hun!
wyattharto8: Considering I update every weekend it does make sense. You're mind is use to the pattern. :3
VenaHope: Teddy Sasori is nightmare fuel to me and now Deidara is stuck with a ripped up bear that he has to dispose of. You'll have to see this chapter to know what happens to them!
Guest: Continuing!
Tawnypelt37: I'm still surprised there are almost no fics that even test this ship out, I mean they were in the same arc and people have been shipped for lesser reasons.
MelonLordOfMelons:Eeeeeeeyyyyyy! Welcome back hun! Good luck reading all of your fics, I know this one that updates at least once a week but it's like 3-6 updates in one go so it's nuts. Also I was reading your last paragraph in that beat even before I realized it was using Duke's theme song. XD
Anonymo: Um… Up until the Sakura vs Ino fight she's been portrayed as a brat, and so Deidara is reflecting that distaste for her attitude by not acknowledging her. Not to mention, you do realize in this fic Sakura gave up on Sasuke long before they became genin, right? Ino is put in a better light now that she's matured, but her treatment in those chapters reflects her bratty personality and Dei's lack of patience for those kinds of kids. So I'm not really getting the whole 'no apparent reason" bit. People see characters differently, and my reasoning is that when watching Naruto for the first time I found Ino obnoxious, rude and selfish and I only liked her in the later half of the series.
Badr408: Sadly Deidara does not know about that. As I mentioned before, he knows very little about the Boruto series and I'm also not going to be writing out the Boruto series, just some epilogue chapters and that's it. So something like that would have to be up to the imagination. Guess it doesn't help that I wasn't interested in anything Boruto related during that time. ^^"
Warning: Swearing, violence, emotional moments, yaoi pairings, not as many needed warnings for this one like normal.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do own a ton of the cards! It's a nice collection of mine! :D
3rd person POV
The moment it registered in Yamato's head that Naruto was at 3 tails already, he quickly jumped to using woodstyle. Orochimaru leaped to be in the way, but he was caught off guard when Sakura appeared out of nowhere and socked him in the jaw. Her rage mixed with the time training under Tsunade combined at that exact moment to keep this snake away from her precious teammate and close friend.
'She's like Tsunade!' Orochimaru flew backwards into several rows of trees, many of them shattering on impact just from the power of the pinkette's punch. He could feel his organs rupturing within him as the girl's chakra lingered, 'To think, a clanless kunoichi with no special talent as a child could match the strength of Tsunade at such a young age!'
Sakura leaped after the sanin, fire in her eyes as she dived towards him, "Don't you DARE go near Naruto, you freak! I'll kill you myself before I let that happen! CHAAA!" Her chakra infused fist slammed into his stomach, creating a crater under them.
"Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto quickly rushed to Orochimaru's aid while Sai remained on his spot, dumbfounded as to what to do. Noticing Yamato was struggling with Naruto, he drew several ink birds to help distract the now 4 tailed blond. It worked… for a moment, but then Naruto became irritated and split open his mouth, bijuu bomb particles floated around the air. Yamato's heart nearly stopped when he realized what the Kyuubi was aiming for.
"Sai! Get Sakura! He's aiming for Orochimaru!" Yamato had wood pillars wrap around Naruto, hoping to make him miss his target. But despite the increase in mass, Naruto was like a wet sponge that refused to remain in the hands of its owner, "Damnit Naruto… I know you are in there somewhere! Don't you realize who you are going to hit if you use that attack?!"
Over to Sakura's location, Orochimaru senses the bijuu bomb being made, "Well… a complete disregard for his teammate's life. The Kyuubi really is consuming him with hatred." He chuckles as he kicked the girl away summoned his Triple Rashōmon to block the attack. Sakura was paralyzed on the spot as the Kyuubi's overwhelming chakra was slowly suffocating her even from this far of a distance. It wouldn't make that much of a difference either way, she's strong but not fast, at least not fast enough to dodge an attack from the Kyuubi.
Whatever consciousness Naruto had left sensed what he would hit, 'Stop, don't attack! Sakura-chan is there! Please… I don't want to hurt her! PLEASE STOP!' But it was too late, Sai couldn't make it time to grab Sakura out of the way. The bijuu bomb shot out in a laser like fashion.
The only thing that kept Sakura alive was a blur of black grabbing her and getting out of harm's way. The figure held her protectively as they raced up a tree as the land was completely destroyed by that single blast.
Sai stops his ink bird to stare at the figure holding Sakura on the top of a tree with a sigh of relief, "You never obey orders do you, Sasuke?"
Sakura looks up at Sasuke in shock, "Eh? Sasuke-kun? But I thought-" She was quickly cut off by her teammate's incoming scold.
"I'm going to be telling Deidara that you had put yourself in harms way to fight Orochimaru, Sakura." The Uchiha wasn't looking at her. But rather the subject of the fight, who was recovering from the bijuu bomb by slowly climbing out of his skin as his old body was beginning to reject him, "If I didn't show up when I did, you would have died." All emotions were void in those red sharingan, all except for rage.
Orochimaru was amused at the expression on Sasuke's face as he leaped off the tree and sat his comrade back on her feet, "Well, so you did show up Sasuke-kun. How marvelous."
"You are keen on making sure I join you, make myself your next vessal….did it never occured to you that ensuring my teammate's death would only make me want to kill you?" Sasuke's body was relaxed, but in his left hand was chidori, his right hand was gently moving Sakura out of his way.
Orochimaru chuckled, "It would sever your ties with Konoha faster. You should have been mine 3 years ago." The snake crossed his arms, obviously not afraid of the annoying chirps coming from Sasuke's hand, "Do you really think that a jutsu that weak will kill me? Why don't you try it out then, Sasuke-kun."
Sasuke felt his eye twitch, "I belong to no one. Especially not you." Sensing Kabuto was nearby, Sasuke slammed his hand onto the ground causing a giant cloud of dust to cover them.
Sai watched the scene with keen interest, only to jolt when two new weights land on his bird, "Sorry that I didn't make it in time Sakura-san…" He bowed his head in apology towards the duo.
Sakura smiles and sits down, Sasuke was steadying himself by using Sakura's head as a form of balance, "Sasuke-kun made it in time, so all is forgiven… but you really need to work on your speed. I've never seen someone that flies be that slow." The girl unintentionally jabs at Sai's ego.
"You're spoiled by Deidara's ability to fly and run from Kirigakure and back in a single afternoon." Sasuke notices Sai's bewildered expression, "You'll see later. Now, let's go back to Yamato and Naruto. I need to calm the Kyuubi."
After a moment's hesitation, Sai brought the two back to a struggling Yamato and a roaring Naruto. Sasuke smoothly leaped off the bird, and locked eyes with the 4 tailed Naruto, entering the seal through a genjutsu.
"You Uchiha can never learn to mind your own business…" Kurama starred in frustration as Sasuke walks around Naruto's mind. Naruto was enveloped in a bubble mass of red chakra that took the shape of the Kyuubi. Despite the deformed look due to the bubbles, all Sasuke could see was tears rolling down his friend's eyes, thinking that he had killed Sakura.
"You should learn to not mess with my best friend." Gripping the bubbled nose, Sasuke mercilessly rips the chakra off the blond, catching him before he could face plant into the dimly lit water, "Just sleep Naruto… You didn't hit Sakura." Naruto at an instant relaxed and allowed darkness to consume his consciousness.
"Heh… Just like Madara, always taking control… I cannot wait to rip you to shred, mortal."
Sasuke didn't even flinch, instead he dared to stare at Kurama down through the cage, "Do not compare me to the relics of the past. I will surpass Madara and bring in a new generation stronger than the last. There will be no need for the bijuu by the time I am finished leaving my mark on the world." Sasuke looks down at his unconscious friend, a faint smile tracing his face, "And this dobe will help me in that goal."
Sasuke broke the connection with Naruto to watch Sakura heal his burnt skin. The fox's chakra tore at his skin like savage piranhas, but there was no blood. His pigment returned to normal after some time, but he remained unconscious.
"Sasuke-kun… Orochimaru… he said something that set Naruto off…" Sasuke looked at Sakura in interest, "He said that in another time… Deidara-sensei was our enemy… but he also died."
Deidara's POV
I was expecting to be the one to yell at Sasuke for going into danger, but instead I was the one being yelled at. Sakura and Sai had went to go home once the team returned, Yamato went to report to Tsunade. The boys… well...
"What did Orochimaru meant by you being our enemy, dattebayo?! And you dying?! Please tell us what's going on, I don't want you to die, dattebayo!" Naruto's eyes were wide and full of pleas as he was yelling in my face.
My brain was momentarily working at only half speed, 'How did he know? Orochimaru wasn't someone from my world, I know that for a fact… the only way he could know is if he remembered the original timeli- The summoning sages…' I knew the toad sage most likely knows about me, Jiraiya mentioned it during Hiruzen's funeral. It completely slipped my mind that the snakes would know about it too.
"Of course I'm not going to die, I use my head to make sure that doesn't happen. You have to trust me on this Naruto, it's best you don't know what I do, un."
"Then how do you know so much?" Sasuke crosses his arms, despite Itachi giving him a warning glance, "You know things others shouldn't, like keeping me away from Orochimaru. How is that?"
"Like I said, it's best neither of you know right now. You just have to trust me on this, un." I slowly began to fidget, I understand the two were just concerned for my well-being, but I really hope they drop the subject soon.
Apparently that did the opposite as Sasuke got directly into my face, "You're the one telling us we need to get stronger, but you are not telling us for what! I'm not going to stand on the sidelines and have my ignorance lead to you winding up dead somewhere!"
Naruto decided to join in once he remembered something, "Also, who did you kill? Sai was saying you killed someone. Why did you kill them, dattebayo?"
I bite my lower lip as pressure began to fill in my head, I haven't had this feeling in a long time. The feeling of stress and emotional strain as those that I care about interrogate me. Without much thought I spring from my seat, bolt to mine and Itachi's room and slammed the door shut. Naruto tried opening the door but I block it with my body as my head felt as though something was slowly constricting it.
'I can't tell them... I just can't…' It's one thing to tell Itachi, or Tsunade, or even Kakashi… but the boys… They would rely on my knowledge for everything. Not to mention, how would Sasuke react knowing that in another timeline, this body blows itself up to try and kill him? I don't know what would anger him more, me dying, or the fact that the original Deidara tried to kill him. It would get worse once they learn that I know them through a manga.
I could only allow a single thought to pass through me as I bury my face into my knees, 'I want them to know the truth… but not yet…'
Back in the living room with everyone else
3rd person POV
"Deidara has a special ability that gives him knowledge beyond our comprehension. That is all you two need to know." Itachi rubs his forehead as he explained/scold the situation to the boys, "He is under constant pressure to use what he knows to make things better, you two interrogating him is making it worse."
"Then why doesn't he just tell us what he knows so we can help?" Sasuke crosses his arms defensively as his brother defended Deidara, "You obviously know."
"I do Sasuke, but understand that… when someone has knowledge, people abuse it… Deidara is burdened with enough to make him a target to both friends and foes for information. He wants to influence others without outright saying what will happen. He doesn't want to play God with others."
Naruto eyes the closed door in thought, "He's… been doing that since we were kids… always looking out for us. While he has been forced to live with all that… what he may have done to keep us safe..." He inhales heavily, head bowed low, "We'll drop the subject until he is ready to tell us the whole truth, dattebayo."
Both Uchihas were shocked. Normally, Naruto would be up in arms with questions, instead they are staring at a boy that was more somber. Guilt seemed to eat into those blue eyes of his.
In turn, Sasuke huffed in defeat, "Naruto is right. I didn't expect Deidara to run away from the situation like that. Who else knows?"
Itachi shakes his head, "Even I'm unsure of that. I know he is open with his knowledge to those he trust will not force him to give up the information." He knows that his husband refuses to tell anyone that falls under his "chibi" category, because he sees them as someone to protect.
"I'm going to paint. Dobe, I'll meet you for ramen tonight." Sasuke slips on his shoes and heads off to his art house.
Naruto scratches his cheek in thought, "Give Deidara-nii a hug from me please." He mimics Sasuke's actions and heads out to ponder in his own thoughts.
After a few moments, Itachi relaxes his shoulders and heads to the kitchen. Within minutes he had two steaming cups of hot cocoa prepared and resting on the coffee table in the living room and a warm fluffy blanket waiting for its soon-to-be occupants. Despite summer being just around the corner, the Land of Fire was having a rare chilly day. Chilly enough to justify Itachi to wear a long sleeve shirt for once.
Padding across the wooden floor, Itachi knocks on his bedroom door, "Dei… the boys are gone. I have hot chocolate and a blanket prepared… please come out."
There was the sound of clothes shuffling and a small grunt, the same kind Deidara always makes when he gets up. One blink later and there is a mess of blond hair obscuring his vision and a face pressed into his shoulder.
"I couldn't tell them… I'm a coward… I couldn't tell my brothers the truth..."
Itachi could only smile at the blond's self-implemented guilt. Wrapping an arm around the young man's shoulder, he guides Deidara to the couch, wraps the blanket around them both, and hands him the hot chocolate.
"No… No you're not. You're protecting them from a burden you do not want on their shoulder… I know how it feels." Finishing his sentence with a sip of his drink and adjusting his arm for optimum snuggle position, "Give it time Deidara."
"Orochimaru knows that the timeline has reset... I just know he does…" Deidara takes a large gulp of his drink… he can never just sit and enjoy liquids, always has to guzzle it down right away.
"What was he like again afterwards? You watched at least those scenes right?" Itachi undoes Deidara's ponytail to help relieve tension to the blond's head.
"He becomes one of the most hilarious comical reliefs to ever exist in a canon storyline, un." Well then… Itachi was failing to picture Orochimaru being anything but serious and an overall creep, "But now he's going to be hellbent on either killing me, or finding out what I know."
Itachi arches his neck at an awkward angle, "Would you cooperate with him?"
Deidara shrugs, "If he tries to not kill me and stops being a stalkerish, yandere-schoolgirl with a senpai fetish… and also create Mizuki."
Something is telling Itachi that this might not happen for a long time.
Side story # 11 ? ? ? (Yeah no, I ain't even gonna hint what is about to happen here. Takes place while Team 7 are heading to the Tenchi bridge)
Deidara's POV
I calmly sip my tea on the porch admiring my handywork. I had gotten bored at some point and decides to fix the backyard of the house. It reminds me a lot of when Sasuke and Itachi were growing up, but I added my own little touches, like flowers. The sound of something shooting from the ground caught my attention.
To my left, Madara's coffin appeared and the Uchiha calmly strood out and sat next to me. He stared at me with a contemplative gaze, "What have I missed due to you not summoning me for a few weeks?" This is going to be good.
I let out an awkward laugh, "Oh, the usual. The boys are back in Konoha, we saved another nation's Kage, Itachi and I are expecting children, un." I had to smirk when Madara proceed to choke on air for a moment. Catching the supposed strongest shinobi in history off-guard was rather satisfying.
Instantly, the Uchiha was staring intently on my stomach and other physical features, here we go again, "Not me Madara-sama! My friend Anko is surrogating!" Jesus, everytime I tell someone Itachi and I are expecting kids their eyes instantly lock onto my stomach! Do I look like I have a watermelon under my shirt?! I have fucking abs for crying out loud!
"Children… you two are rebuilding the clan at such a young age…" Madara rests his face in his hand, suddenly seeming older, "I have so much I regret, allowing the clan to produce hatred for the village is one of them."
I pat his back in sympathy, "It's because of Zetsu's influence… and Danzo as well, had the Uchiha been given a chance to grow as a part of the village, things would have been different." I chose to exclude other factors like Tobirama to keep things smooth, Madara still doesn't know I have those two under my edo tensei.
Madara goes quiet, staring me down as his brain worked on overdrive. Suddenly, he stands up and holds out his hand to me, "I have a request. It involves using those sharingan that I know you still have hidden in your closet."
"Eh?"
A few hours later
"For the 15th time, are you sure you want me to do this, Madara-sama? This goes against our deal three years ago, un." I cautiously prepare the upcoming jutsu as Madara placed strands of hair on a scroll.
"I do not want that snake to discover his corpse and defile his grave…I also wish to speak with him personally… there is a lot I need to get off my chest." Madara crosses his arms as he looked at the unconscious man surrounded by symbols. I don't know who he is, Madara brought him.
I sigh, "Alright… but you're putting the eyes in his sockets. Edo Tensei!" I clap my hands together and slam them down onto the scroll, dust and other particles surround the man and take form of the someone long dead, "Welcome to the land of the living… Izuna-san."
Izuna gracefully pushed himself to his feet… well, as graceful as a man with no eyes could, "Where am I?" He tried sounding threatening, but considering Madara is like a father to me, ponytail Duckie here doesn't spook me. He really just looks like a mature Sasuke.
"I brought you back using a forbidden reanimation technique invented by the Nidaime Hokage of Konohagakure, Senju Tobirama, un." Izuna's shoulders hunch up like a cat about to strike, "Relax, the idiot is dead. Konoha is currently under the control of Hashirama's granddaughter, Tsunade."
"So… the Senju clan is still alive… Nii-san didn't make peace with them, did he?"
"I did. It was the only way to ensure the clan's survival at the time." Madara takes two sharingan from the jar and approaches his brother, "Hold still. I need to put these sharingan in your sockets."
I had to look away to make sure I didn't vomit. This world trades eyes like grade schoolers trade pokemon cards. Ugh… there's a squish noise too. How can people do this and not feel sick?
"You can look Deidara." I take a peek to see Izuna gaping at his older brother in shock, "You'll catch flies with your mouth hanging open, Izuna."
Izuna gives me an accusing glare, honey, you still look like an angry Sasuke… albeit more attractive, "You used that Senju's jutsu on Nii-san you bastard?!"
I hold my hands up in surrender, "In my defence, I was trying to reanimate you but Madara-sama appeared instead because his hair was in your grave. Nice to meet you Izuna-san. My name is Uchiha Deidara, un."
"Uchiha?" This doesn't stop the angry adult from storming over towards me and lifting me in the air by my throat. GREAT! More Uchiha throat grabbing! "You dare give yourself the clan's name?" I forgot this guy was both loyal to the clan, but was also caught in the cycle of hatred. Whoops.
Madara quickly comes to my rescue, removing me from his brother's grip, "He married into the clan, which is almost extinct save for three men. Yes Izuna, one of them is married to Deidara, please calm down." Izuna was fuming at this point. I think he was more mad at the fact that the clan was nearly gone than me having the name, "Let's discuss this like old times. Deidara, if you would make us a bird."
Something tells me this will not be pretty.
Ten minutes later
"You stupid Nii-san!"
I was right.
After taking the brothers outside of Konoha, things escalated quickly. First they just used taijutsu… then sharingan… then there was yelling… and shouting… and now the two of them are hitting each other with everything they have and the edo tensei brings them back to normal- wait, when did Izuna get his mangekyou?
"You're the one consumed by hatred!"
"And you're the one that agreed to the Senju's plans! The Uchiha clan is nearly dead, and you left the village and them in the hands of Tobirama! The man who killed me!"
"You think I wanted this?! I wanted peace so no child had to die on the battlefield like our deceased brothers! But instead I was being used as a tool for some alien's son…"
Izuna snorts, activated his own susano-o. Oh, it's dark blue*, "Right, peace. There can never be peace as long as the Senju still breath!" I felt bad for Izuna, the poor guy is so devoted to his clan, his brother, that he cannot see past his own hatred.
They'll start to sound like an old married couple if the bickering continues. I wanted to interfere… but this is something Madara needs to handle. His brother needs to see things without the influence of the curse. Though, it is taking a while, and these two cannot run out of chakra or die for that matter… great… maybe this was a bad idea.
"Dei… why is Sasuke fighting Madara?" I jump a foot in the air when Itachi appeared out of nowhere on my bird, "And when did he get blue chakra?"
I sweat drop, "Itachi, that's Uchiha Izuna… Madara-sama's little brother. He's older than both of us, un." Itachi squints slightly until he notices Izuna having a ponytail. My heart clenched at that squint, his eyesight is getting worse.
"You reanimated Izuna?" Itachi gives me a questioning look before sighing, "Promise me you will not touch Shisui or my parents graves."
I give my husband a loving smile, "I never had the intent in reanimated them… it would be a disrespect to both them and you, un." Itachi kisses the top of my head while the brothers down below were still going at each other, "I really should stop them, un."
"Allow me." Itachi activated his mangekyou then notices my panicked expression, "I haven't used my eyes in a few weeks, I'll be okay." That doesn't help my worries, your eyes just SQUINT!
Itachi jumps off the bird, as the two dark blue susano-o ready their strike, Itachi's bright orange armored susano-o grabbed both their arms like an angry father does his rowdy sons.
"Sorry, but you two were acting childish long enough." Itachi stared the brothers down, Madara calmly turned off his susano-o while Izuna glared at him, "My name is Uchiha Itachi, I am the one that killed the entire clan… to ensure the safety of Konoha. If your hatred should be channeled towards anyone, it should be me."
Oh hell no. I am not going to let Itachi deal with a pissy Izuna. I jump off the bird and approached the two flaming tengu giants with a sickly sweet tone that had an underline warning to it, "Itachi, sweetheart~ I would greatly appreciate it if you did not fight someone that has unlimited chakra, un."
Itachi nods in understanding and deactivates his sharingan and susano-o so I could hug his arm.
Izuna stood there, a loss for words on the situation at hand, "Nii-san…" He looks over at Madara, pleading for an explanation, something he could grasp onto in this era past his own.
"Izuna, things have changed. Deidara is married to Itachi, they are expecting their first child as well. Itachi's younger brother is training to become a powerful Uchiha, and the lands are more united than before. The cycle of hatred consumed the Uchiha clan, and that lead to its downfall, as it brought my own. Things are changing little brother." Madara patiently waited for Izuna to process his talk-no-jutsu.
Eventually, Izuna deactivated his own susano-o and relaxed his shoulders, "I will follow what you believe in Nii-san… even if it means helping someone not truly a part of this clan…" Yikes, it is gonna take awhile to win this guy's heart. Good thing I'm charismatic.
"You'll warm up to me eventually! I'm going to unsummon you two now, so rest up, un." Summoning their coffins, I deactivate the edo tensei so the brothers could think to themselves, "I like him."
Itachi eyes me with interest, "Oh?"
"Not once did he make fun of my speech impediment, un." This earned an eye roll from my husband.
Woohoo! Izuna is in this story now! I've always had the intention of adding him into the story, but was never sure when. If he seems a little pissy in this bit… well… You would too if you suddenly woke up after dying to your mortal enemy, and learning not only were you reanimated using that same guy's jutsu, but that your clan is almost dead and your precious sibling was also under the jutsu too. Oh, and the curse cycle of hatred, can't forget that tiny detail. I love Izuna and wanted to take a logical approach to his appearance.
We also have Deidara's internal turmoils of keeping secrets from loved ones, there is no way he wants either boy to know about the truth simply because of how they would handle it. Sasuke would be enraged and Naruto would just break, there is no other way around it. Deidara does not see them as being ready to handle the truth so they will not learn it. Also, like me, Deidara does not handle pressure from questionings well if yelling is involved, I would suck keeping my mouth shut under interrogations, I have vomited before from the shear stress and the fact it's his precious little brothers adds to it.
*I looked up what chakras mean depending on the color and decided to give Izuna dark blue like Madara. Not only is it because they are related, but from what I read, imbalance of that color is due to confusion and indecisiveness, which definitely reflects Izuna. Madara from what I can tell has balance of chakra due to being calm and being able to solve problems. I am in no way an expert on chakra, I am simply using a random ass chart I found on google that seemed to make the most sense to me. So please go easy on me if my facts are wrong. Also it is confirmed that Itachi's susano-o is indeed orange.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be posting another chapter alongside this one. The reason for why will be explained in that chapter's AN. Fair warning, if you like Sora from the Twelve Guardian Ninja arc for some strange reason, it contains Sora bashing because I hate this arc with a passion and it reflects in my writing. If you hate the arc as much as I do/just don't care, then you're in for a fun ride.
As always reviews are loved and I will see you in the next chapter!
Bye!
