Descendant of God
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto but I do own any oc's that I come up with.
Well not much to say here, so on with the story.
The mood around the camp was pretty gloomy. Sasori and Deidara had gotten over their initial shock over seeing what happened with Renzo's dead body and Naruto and had made a camp where all of them were currently dwelling. Naruto was in a tent along with Renzo's body while Sasori and Deidara were sitting around a campfire making dinner.
"Damn it, I just can't believe how easily we were trapped in that genjutsu, we're supposed to be S-ranked missing nin! How the hell did we get into this, yeah?" Deidara ranted. Sasori replied "it's because we aren't all that skilled when it come to genjutsu. Tell me did you practice dispelling genjutsu much when you were in Iwa still?" Deidara replied "Uhh, no, not really. I just never thought I would really need it, yeah."
"Same with me Deidara. I focused more on my puppetry and anything relating to that be it weaknesses or strengths. Genjutsu just never really fell into any category of puppetry." Sasori said. "So I guess we're both at fault, yeah." "Pretty much." "Well let's not let this take us down. If genjutsu's are our weakness, then let's work on countering them. Naruto should be fine, what with the Rinnegan and Kyuubi, yeah." Deidara spoke enthusiastically. Sasori just nodded his head in agreement.
Meanwhile with Naruto.
Naruto awoke to find himself inside his mindscape with the Kyuubi next to him. "Finally you're awake. I thought I would take you forever to get up." Naruto groaned as a he got up and asked "what happened to me Kyuu." Kyuubi raised an eyebrow at the nickname but didn't say anything about it "well kit you just unlocked a new stage of the Rinnegan." "I did?" "Yes, remember when you were trying to heal Renzo after he had already died?" Naruto scowled at this part but only nodded his head. Kyuubi continued "well you unknowingly put a part of your own soul into his dead body. This caused you to unlock the first of the Six Paths of Ninja, the very same technique that the Rikudo Sennin used." At first Naruto was ecstatic but then he started to remember that it was Renzo's body he was using. Quickly his face turned to horror and disgust. Kyuubi seeing this said "now Naruto don't go and change your mind so quickly. Trust me when I say that it isn't evil what you're doing."
"B-But, I'm using his dead bodyfor my own purposes now, isn't it evil to use the dead." "Yes it is evil to use the dead, but all your using is a body. You haven't forcibly pulled Renzo's soul from the peaceful afterlife that he deserves. His body as of now is useless, an empty shell if you will. So there isn't any harm in using it as one of your paths." This had seemingly calmed Naruto down for now.
It wasn't long before Naruto was curious about what path he had unlocked and what it could do. Kyuubi began to explain "well you've unlocked the Deva Path. This is the first path and is one of the most powerful. It has the ability to use Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in as well as other gravity style jutsu. Not only that but it has the ability to create chakra disruption blades, and it can give this ability to the other paths as well."
Naruto was now jumping with excitement after hearing all of this thinking over how cool this would be only to hear they Kyuubi's next words "however this all comes at a price." "What's the price" Naruto asked warily "You are no longer able to use gravity jutsu anymore. You still have the elemental affinity for gravity, but you can't use gravity jutsu with your body. You have to use them through Deva Path."This somewhat disappointed Naruto, but he got over it.
"So, how am I suppose to use the Deva Path?" At this Kyuubi thought for a few seconds before coming up with an idea. "Kit I think I have a way for you to train with the Path, but first do you think you could make my chain longer?" Complying Naruto made the Kyuubi's chain longer.
Turning into his human form Kyuubi said "follow me Naruto." Soon they were walking through the mindscape passing by a floating island or two. Eventually they came across a really big floating island which is where Kyuubi stopped. "Alright kit just follow me up here." With that Kyuubi jumped up all the way to the floating island. Naruto just stood there in disbelief before he remembered that it was his mind. He could do anything he wanted to in here. So following Kyuubi, when he landed on the island he was surprised to see a bunch of doors there.
"If you don't know this place is basically where you can view all of your memories, as well as the place where your paths are stored as well." "Wait, so their bodies are in my mind." "No, their actual bodies are stored in some different dimension. The bodies here are like the body you are in whenever you come to your mindscape." "Ah" Naruto said in comprehension. "Also the mind of the bodies will dwell in your mind. You can view all of their memories right up until their death."
"Cool" Naruto says. as Kyuubi leads Naruto to the right door Naruto is looking around at all the doors. Some of them are different colors, and some blend in with the tropical forest, and others have locks on them making them impossible to enter.
Kyuubi then stops in front of a purple colored door. Opening it he walks in followed by Naruto. Inside the room there is a blank tv screen and Renzo's body turned Deva path. "Now Naruto first of all we'll need you to gain control of Renzo's body. Once that's done we'll start on the next step."
'Okay, I have no idea how I'm suppose to do this, but what the hey, when in doubt, send chakra into it, that usually does something' and with that Naruto sent chakra into Deva path. The effect was instant. Naruto now felt as though he was two people at once. He was able to see out of both bodies, and whenever he tried to move a part of one body it felt as though he was moving the other body as well. Both of them were now a part of him.
As Naruto was trying to get use to controlling two bodies at once Kyuubi just stood there looking in amusement. 'Hard to believe that a true descendant of the Rikudo Sennin has actually been able to unlock the Rinnegan. I suppose that me being inside of Naruto helped. However I wonder I the Rinnegan will be enough? It's only a matter of time before Akatsuki(1) come after him. Will Naruto be strong enough to face them? Especially Madara? Madara may act like an idiot(it isn't an act), but that doesn't change the fact that he is currently the strongest person in the world.' As Kyuubi was contemplating this Naruto had finally managed to gain enough control to move both bodies efficiently enough.
Noticing that Naruto was able to move them with at least a bit of control Kyuubi said "Well now that you have both of them moving well need to work on getting them to move efficiently enough to the point where it'll become second nature to you." Moving both bodies awkwardly Naruto and his Deva Path followed Kyuubi as he walked out of the room.
Jumping off the island when they reach the edge Kyuubi lands gracefully on the ground while both Naruto's crash face first onto the ground. After Naruto managed to get both of his bodies to move correctly again and get Kyuubi to stop laughing at him, Kyuubi begins training Naruto in how to move while also controlling one of his Paths.
As they're training Naruto asks "Hey Kyuu, if we're training in my mind then how does this help in the real world?" "Because, moving your Paths is a mental thing. Your mind has to get use to it. It doesn't really matter what actual body the Path is, although it helps if the body is fit. What really matter is how well your mind is, because that's what is really controlling the Path, the fact that you can also feel the body you control is just a side effect. That's why we're training in your mind, because training in here can be infinite. While you may lose any physical benefits you still retain all the mental benefits you gained."
"Oh" was all Naruto said. With that there training continued. All it really involved was Kyuubi attacking Naruto and Naruto trying to dodge. Of course the Path was attacked too so Naruto had to focus on having his body and the Path's dodge Kyuubi's attacks.
When Kyuubi decides that they've had enough training Naruto is relieved as his head is hurting from training with his Deva path. "Well guess it's about time I should go. I'm pretty sure Deidara-niisan, and Sasori-niisan are going to want to hear about all of this." "I'm sure they will."
With that Naruto left his mindscape to go and tell Sasori and Deidara about what had happened.
As Naruto woke up the first thing he felt was a big headache. As soon as that subsided he picked up his sunglasses, got out of the sleeping bag. He noticed that Deva Path was laying on the ground beside his bed. He wondered if there was a place to put Deva Path as Naruto was in no condition to be trying to control it right now. "Kit, all you have to do is seal Deva Paths body in a scroll." Naruto was ecstatic to hear this, and he felt somewhat stupid for not realizing that.
Naruto pulled out a small storage scroll from one of the pockets on his cargo pants and opened it up. Finding a suitable seal Naruto sealed up Deva Path inside and put the scroll back into the pocket.
Walking outside the tent he was met with the sound of Deidara and Sasori having another art argument. "Oh, yeah. Well at least I didn't have to replace any of my body parts in order to express my art, or get women, yeah." "Well at least I don't have a mouth on my chest, huh. How are you going t explain that to your girlfriend, oh wait I forgot you don't have a girlfriend."
Sweat dropping at their childish fight over art again Naruto tries to gain their attention "ahem." When they still keep fighting Naruto tries a bit louder "Ahem!" When they still keep fighting Naruto gets annoyed and screams out "AHEM!" Deidara and Sasori finally notice Naruto and Deidara asks "hay, Naruto you want a cough drop? Seems like a nasty cough, yeah." Naruto facefaults at this and Sasori realizes that Naruto is up and smashes Deidara over the head "idiot, can't you realize that Naruto is up" Sasori conveniently left out the part where he also didn't realize that Naruto had woken up.
Naruto gets up his eye twitching and asks "so are you guys done with your petty argument?" Deidara response scratching the back of his head nervously "sure, so is there anything you wanna talk about it, yeah?" "actually yes there is." Naruto responds. "It's about what happened to Renzo's body." Sasori and Deidara's faces turn serious at this.
Naruto then begins explaining how Renzo's body has now become one of his Six Paths of Ninja by accident. He also explains how that works and the new abilities he would get. While Deidara and Sasori were sad to hear that Renzo had truly moved on into the afterlife they were happy that Naruto had unlocked a new ability of the Rinnegan. "Man, Kyuubi can sure be helpful when he wants to, yeah." Deidara remarks. Naruto nods his head in agreement.
Sasori then says "well let's get a few days rest and then we'll help you train in using your Deva Path." Everyone agrees with his suggestion and then goes to do something stupid.
3 months have passed since Naruto gained Deva Path. During that time period grew proficient enough with it that he was now able to use Deva Path in fights with ease. Not only that, but he also gained a new Path.
Flashback
Deidara and Sasori had gone off to see if there were any ninja's still around the burning village while Naruto looked for survivors.
Naruto thought angrily to himself 'why, why would a village like this be attacked? They had no ninja, no military force of any kind, so why do this?' The gang was just traveling through the Land of Honey when they saw smoke rising. They had decide to go investigate what the smoke was all about and had been quite confused when they saw a burning village. Curious as to who did it Deidara and Sasori had gone on ahead after finding a trail to follow. They left Naruto behind to search for survivors as stated eariler.
As Naruto kept looking through rubble and what was left of buildings he heard the sound of a fuma shuriken and it sounded like it was coming right at him! Using a Kawarimi to evade the weapon Naruto reappeared behind a tree. Carefully looking around from his now hidden position Naruto sees a shinobi with green hair come out. His hair was styled so that some of it came out in front of his right eye while the rest was tied into a long ponytail. He was dressed in a dull blue jonin battle vest with shoulder guards, a dark long sleeved shirt, and forearm guards, dull blue shinobi pants and regular shinobi sandals, and he also had 2 other fuma shuriken strapped to his back.
As the shinobi starts looking around for Naruto, Naruto takes out two kunai with exploding tags, and two smoke bombs. Quickly he throws the kunai at the shinobi. Hearing the sound of kunai coming at him the shinobi dodges them only to have to jump back further when an explosion come from the two of them.
Out of the smoke created from the explosion Naruto came out sword drawn and speeding towards the shinobi. When he reaches him Naruto begins hacking and slashing trying to dice the enemy. He thrusts to the left and he dodges then Naruto makes a slash to the right but the shinobi blocks with a kunai. However Naruto's sword which is made from Miracle Steel is far stronger than a measly kunai, as proven when said kunai has a huge crack going right through it. As they pull away the top half of the kunai falls of and the shinobi just tsks and pulls out a new one. As they both charge each other again Naruto asks "why, why did you attack this village? They had no military whatsoever, how could they have been a threat?"
The shinobi merely says "we heard rumors that there were ninja here, ninja that could have been a threat, so we removed them." Naruto grows angry at this "so you only attacked them based on rumors, how can you possibly do something so dumb! Rumors are just that rumors, you had no solid evidence to back up you claim to attack. Lots of innocent people just died for nothing you bastard." The shinobi only scoffed and retorted "in the shinobi world rumors can be all the fact you need. Most of the time you won't have the time to try and find facts, because by the time you can get solid evidence you may already be dead. It's a tough thing to do, but sometimes you have to do it. I look at it this way, if the rumors were false then no real harm was done in the grand scale of things, and if the rumor were true the we just eliminated a big threat."
Naruto only grows angrier at hearing this and shouts "but you still had no right. Mothers, fathers, sons, sisters, cousins, how many have you killed huh, and only on rumors!" The shinobi exclaimed back "it was either theirs or mine, and I know which one to pick, do you?" and with that he pulls a fuma shuriken from his back, twirls it around and throws it at Naruto along with a compliment of regular shuriken. Naruto who is shocked momentarily by the question notices too late that the shuriken are coming at him. Without any time to perform the handseals for Kawarimi Naruto simply whispers "Shinra Tensei", but he only puts in enough power to block the shuriken not wanting to alert the enemy too much.
Surprise went across the shinobi's face as he saw all of his weapons fall to the ground useless. Naruto then threw the smoke bombs onto the ground, disappearing into the smoke. As the shinobi jumps away from the smoke Naruto comes out at a completely different angle thus remaining hidden from the shinobi. As he looks around for Naruto, Naruto comes barreling out of the trees , sword pointed forward. Unable to dodged the shinobi takes out his last fuma shuriken to block Naruto. However at the last moment 'Naruto' puffs away reveling that it was only a Kage Bunshin. The real Naruto come from behind and cuts the shinobis unprotected back open spraying himself with his blood.
As the shinobi lay there dying he coughed out "It doesn't matter if you kill me. More will still come and attack. It just simply never changes no matter what happens." He then reveals some interesting information. "I am from the remains of the Fuma Clan(unrelated to the Fuma Clan in the filler). Back before the Second Great Shinobi World War my clan was glorious. Our ninja were something to be feared. However the Second Great Shinobi World War devastated us. It left my clan in ruins. Since then the remaining members of our clan have tried to settle down in many different lands, many different times. However every time we tried to settle in we were attacked. Ninja always attacked my people, and so we eventually had no other choice than to resort to measures like this to survive." He then points to the burning village as he says this.
Naruto tilts his sunglasses and asks "so am I suppose to feel sorry for you now?" The dying shinobi chuckles and says "no, but I'm trying to make you understand that we didn't do this out of evil or greed, but rather for our own survival. There is usually two sides to every story, and sometimes it pays to listen to both side, after all the world isn't black and white." Naruto starts to contemplate 'if he did it to protect his own family is he really that bad, but still, all those people died, urgh, I don't know what to think anymore!'
As Naruto starts to get even more confused about the situation the Fuma shinobi says "as long as we lived in this cursed world of ninja's, stories like mine will only continue to repeat. There will never be peace, because ninja can't thrive on it, and ninja are what rule this world." after saying this the Fuma shinobi's vision begins to go fuzzy but he continues "ninja are only ever taught to hate, they're never taught how to forgive. As long as that continues old hate will never die, grudges will never be broken, and war will always be a constant. This endless cycle of hate will continue until humanity wipes itself out."
Hearing this Naruto is now truly lost on what to do. As the Fuma shinobi takes his final breaths the says "I don't think there will ever be a way to break this endless cycle, but if I had to give a guess as to who could do it, it'd be you, I could tell as we fought. You have this feeling around you, something that makes me feel that you could be the one." and with that he dies.
Confused Naruto prepares to burn the body with a Katon jutsu when Kyuubi speaks up "wait kit, don't burn the body." 'Why?' Naruto asks. "Because, this is your chance to gain a new path." 'Really?' Naruto asks sounding slightly hesitant. "Yes, this guy is perfect for one of your paths." 'But how, I don't even know how I did it last time?' "Alright, all you have to do is pour your chakra into his body." 'Really, that's all there is to it?' "Yep." 'Well then why the hell didn't I just pour chakra into 5 other random dead people. I'd have all of the Paths by now if I just did that.' "Yes, but the quality of the body matters as well." 'It does?' "Yes, tell me which would you rather have as one of your paths. Some random fat slob or a powerful shinobi" It was obvious which one Naruto would pick. "The quality of the body directly affects how your Path will perform in anything. When I say quality, I don't mean how badly damaged the body is upon dead as that all gets healed as soon as it becomes one of your Paths. What I'm talking about is how fit the body is. If it is a ninja then generally it will be fit. This improves the abilities of the Path as a whole and give you a larger chakra capacity." 'Oh' was all Naruto said.
As Naruto was about to turn the body into a Path Kyuubi noticed he still seemed a little hesitant "hey kit, why are you hesitating?" 'It's just that everything he said to me is still bugging me.' "Listen kit, don't bother with what he said for now. Wait until you're in someplace quiet to think about all he that he said, but for now just turn him into one of your Paths, trust me when I say it'll be worth it." "Alright then Kyuubi." Naruto then began pouring his chakra into the Fuma shinobi's body. The change was instant. The shinobi's hair turned into the same color as Naruto'sand his eyes turned into the Rinnegan. Naruto also began to feel the same way he felt when controlling Deva Path except this time there was no mess ups.
As Naruto had the new Path get up, its back wound nonexistent Kyuubi exclaimed with glee "oh kit this Path is going to rock." 'Why's that Kyuu?' "Because this just so happens to be your brand new Animal Path!This is one of your best Paths as its ability lay in summoning." Naruto raised an eyebrow and asked 'don't I need a summoning contract?' "NO, that's the best part, you can summon anything and you don't even need a summoning contract, all you have to do is think of the animal you want and do the summoning jutsu and presto. You've got yourself a summon. Not only can it summon animals but it can also summon your other Paths. Just use the summoning jutsu and think of the Path you want and boom you've got your path."
Naruto thought of all the things he'd be able to do. 'Wow, I love this Path!' With that out of the way Naruto and his new Animal Path left and went back to the village where he saw Sasori and Deidara surrounded with dead ninja. Naruto ran up to them with Animal Path and began to explain everything to them.
End Flashback
Ever since he now trained with both Paths. Currently he was very proficient with Deva Path. Animal Path however he was having trouble with. He tried the Kuchiyose no Jutsu which was the jutsu used to summon, but every time he tried the animals that came out were pretty small. Only recently had he gotten any better as the animals he could now summon were bigger than a medium sized chair. He was going to have to really train hard with Animal Path.
5 months had passed since Naruto had gained Animal Path. He was now pretty skilled with using both of his Paths and was now able to use both in battle at the same time.
Currently Naruto, Deidara, and Sasori were sitting around a campfire roasting the warthog they had caught. The mood this time was quite happy with Deidara talking about how once he had stolen all of the kunoichi's panties back in Iwa and put them inside the Tsuchikae's office. Needless to say the kunoichi were extremely pissed off, and had pounded the Tsuchikage into next year.
Naruto and Sasori were laughing so hard that they nearly had their stomachs burst open.
Suddenly they heard rustling coming from the bushes. All of them went on alert, Naruto drawing his sword, Deidara taking out bombs, and Sasori prepping his flamethrowers. Sasori spoke "alright whoever you are come on out. We know your there." A figure then walked out of the bushes shocking all of them. This figure had blood all over him and was dressed in an Anbu uniform. He had long raven colored hair which was tied into a pony-tail and had long pronounced tear troughs under his eyes. The figure kept walking as though in a daze before stumbling and falling into unconsciousness.
Deidara warily put his bombs back and walked towards the Anbu. He picked him up and turned him over. "HOLY FUCK, YEAH!" Deidara exclaimed with shock. "What is it Deidara?" Sasori asked worried. Naruto was also about to ask when Deidara told them "it's Itachi Uchiha, he's gone missing nin, yeah." "What, that can't be true, can it?" Naruto asked. "See for yourself, yeah" Naruto walked up to the now identified Itachi and looked at his Konoha headband. There was a scratch going straight through it.
"Woah, it's true, he really is a missing nin." Naruto said with shock. Itachi Uchiha was known throughout the ninja world as one of the most dangerous ninja out there. Not only that but he was the pride and joy of the Uchiha Clan and one of its greatest prodigies. So why the hell would he go missing nin? He had so much back in Konoha going for him.
Sasori then said "well for now let's put him in a tent. When he wakes up we can interrogate him as to why he turned traitor." Deidara and Naruto nodded their heads in agreement. Naruto had two Kage Bunshins drag Itachi into a tent. Suddenly Deidara said "hey you guys the warthog is done, let's eat, yeah." Both Naruto and Sasori gave cries of joy as everyone began to dig into the roasted warthog.
Slowly he opened his eyes as he tried to get his bearings. The last thing he remembered was walking through the forest before he lost consciousness. As he tried to get up he for that it took a lot of effort to do so. He then started to smell food and hear the sound of people talking. He also began to realize that he was in a tent. Now getting slightly scared but still remaining calm as always he began to look around and see if there was anything useful for him. He then laid his eyes on his nodachi and the rest of his weapons. Slowly he reached for them. He then got up put all of the weapons on his back and began walking out of the tent.
He was greeted to the sight of three people staring at him while eating dinner. Two of them had blonde hair while on had red. The shorter blonde one then asked him "so Uchiha Itachi, mind telling us why the hell you decide to go missing nin on Konoha." Itachi was visibly shocked as to how they knew so quickly before remembering that his headband had been scratched by Sasuke. As he tried to escape the red haired one suddenly appeared next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder "there's no point in trying to escape. Your far too weak at the moment to get very far, so why don't you just gram some warthog, sit down and tell us your story." Itachi was then offered some roasted warthog on a plate. Seeing no other choice Itachi took the plate and sat down. "Fine, but get comfortable, this might take a while."
Then he recounts his tale of how the Uchiha were planning a coup against the Hokage and of how he acted as a double agent working for Konoha. Soon enough he got to the details of the solution to the coup. As he told them his voice started to get shaky. "The solution to the coup was the massacre of my clan." Naruto, Sasori, and Deidara are quite horrified to hear this. What Itachi says next hits all of them hard "I was the one who carried out the massacre. I didn't leave anyone alive except for my little brother Sasuke." He then goes on to explain exactly how the massacre went.
Flashback
Itachi walked silently through the roads of the Uchiha District. Finding a good place to start Itachi pulled out a giant axe and smashed through the wall of one families house. As the surprised family looks at him, he starts to slaughter them, as he is doing this he starts crying.
"WHHHAAAAA AHHHHH AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH", pretty soon Itachi is running through the streets crying as he killed Uchiha Clan members by cutting them with his giant axe. "I love you" "I'm sorry" "This hurts me, more than hurts you" were just some of the many random things he said as he killed off the Clan.
Finally he came to Flappy Uchiha, an Uchiha that was so hated by everyone else in Konoha he made Naruto look well liked in comparison. No one knew why they hated Flappy, they just did. As Itachi came up to him he said "yeeaahh, never really liked you all that much." He then brings out a hammer from god knows where and began beating the crap out of Flappy until he was dead. "Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, dieeeeeeee" Itachi repeats gaining a crazed look on his face as he continually pounds Flappy to dead, his blood spraying all over Itachi. Laughing maniacally Itachi says "yes, I've finally done it, I've killed that worthless son of a bitch Flappy."
Pretty soon however he goes right back to crying hysterically as he kills off the rest of his clan with his giant axe.
When it is over Itachi is left alone in the middle of the district crying his eyes out. "Uhuhuhuhuhuh whaaaaaaa ahah aha ahhhhhhhhhh ha, why, why did it have to come to this, WHY!"
Suddenly Itachi senses that someone it coming his way. He recognizes the person as Sasuke. "Oh god, oh god, oh, my god, what the hell am I gonna do. I-I can't let him see me." He then gained a bright idea. He shunshined to the top of a telephone pole just as Sasuke came around. Thinking he was safe he almost didn't realize that Sasuke had spotted him. However he was Itachi Uchiha and as such did recognize in time and managed to avoid Sasuke spotting him.
He reappeared in his house right into the room where he killed Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha. In retrospect going into the room that was in the house where he and Sasuke lived in order to avoid Sasuke hadn't been the best of ideas. As Itachi began contemplating what he was going to do next Sasuke walked into the room. Sasuke startled Itachi from his contemplation and caused Itachi to throw a shuriken out of fright. It scratched Sasuke in the shoulder and as Sasuke finally realized who had killed his parents Itachi went back into thinking as to how he was going to explain it all to Sasuke. Sasuke however had different ideas, which were clearly stated when he ran up to Itachi trying to punch him. Sadly Itachi was an Anbu Captain for a reason as his amazingly good reflexes showed to Sasuke. As he ran out of the room screaming "don't kill me" Itachi cursed himself 'Damn my amazingly good reflexes.'
As Itachi caught up to Sasuke outside Sasuke threw a kunai at Itachi managing to get in a lucky strike and scratch his headband. As Itachi caught up to him, Sasuke asked Itachi why he killed off the entire clan. Itachi had told him it was just to test his capacity, but that was only in case someone else was listening. Itachi was going to use his new Tsukuyomi genjutsu that he got with his Mangekyo Sharringan. However when he used it on Sasuke instead of being able to explain everything to him he messed up and ended up showing Sasuke him massacring the clan over and over again.
As Sasuke lay there twitching on the ground, drool coming out of his mouth Itachi said "40% of me believes he'll be fine, the other 60% is deeply worried but doesn't want to say anything. Ah, I'm sure he'll be fine. Oh crud the Anbu are almost here. Better get out." With that he was now running for his life as Konoha's newest missing nin.
Flashback end
Sniff, sniff "a-and that's how I b-be-c-came Konoha's newest missing nin" Itachi said before bursting into tears again. While Sasori was left to awkwardly comfort a crying Itachi, Deidara and Naruto were talking to each other "something doesn't add up, like how the hell was he strong enough to kill the entire clan. He should have gotten tired at some point, yeah." "You're right Deidara-niisan, but I guess the only way to find out is to ask him." As Deidara tried to stop Naruto thinking that it was suicide for him, Naruto spoke up "hey, Itachi, how the fuck were strong enough to kill everyone in your clan?"
At this Itachi stopped crying and said bewilderedly "I never said I did it alone." Hearing this everyone asks Itachi "who the fucking hell helped you!" Itachi says "the person who helped me was a man so powerful he could make all 5 Kages look like genin in comparison. His name was …Madara Uchiha(2)" Dun-dun-duuuunnnn, weird dramatic music plays out of nowhere as Itachi says his name.
All three of them gasp at the name. Naruto says "oh my god its-its... wait a minute, who the fuck is Madara Uchiha?" Dun-dun-duuuunnnn. At this Deidara and Sasori also remember that they don't know who he is either. Itachi just stares at him and asks "how can you not know of Madara Uchiha. (Dun-dun-duuunnn.) He's the founder of Konoha along with Harashima Senju." "Ohhh, that Madara" Naruto says. "Yes that Madara, who else could I have been talking about?" "I dunno" Naruto responds.
Deidara then speaks up "wait, wait, wait, so this Madara Uchiha-dun, dun, duuuunnnnn- (Deidara yells annoyed "would you stop that, yeah!") guy is the one who helped you slaughter your clan, yeah?" Itachi nods his head. Deidara continues "and this guy is also suppose to be related to you if the name is anything to go by, yeah?" Itachi continues to nod his head. "Then why the hell did this guy help you kill off your entire clan, yeah?" Itachi says "that is because he wanted revenge on them. You see Madara was angry when he wasn't chosen to be the Shodaime Hokage and as such he left the village and he swore revenge on his clan when they abandoned him after he keep trying to convince them that the Senju were going to use trees to take over the world."
"Trees?" Sasori and Naruto ask. Itachi answers "yes trees, Madara was scared that since Harashima was able to use the Mokuton, he would use trees to take over the world. I don't know where he got this idea so don't ask. All I do know is that he is insane.
Flashback
As Itachi was training under Madara's orders, Madara himself was observing Itachi train. He was standing next to a tree, and when he noticed he spoke "oh, so the little tree decides to grace me with its presence." He then speaks accusingly "don't think I don't know what you're up to. I know what you're planning. You think you can just waltz right on in here and do whatever you want don't you. WELL YOU ARE WORNG! I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD! ME! ME, I TELL YOU ME! YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU WON AT VALLEY OF THE END THAT MAKES YOU THE WINNER. WELL YOUR WRONG HARASHIMA DEAD WRONG. I'M THE ONE WHO'S STILL ALIVE SO WHO'S THE WINNER NOW, HUH!" He then starts laughing like the crazed maniac he is. After that he finally noticed that Itachi was standing there looking at him. Madara scratched the back of his head nervously and said "soo, you saw all of that, didn't you?" Itachi just nods his head. Madara then asks "please don't judge me." Itachi responds "too late." "Damn it!"
Flashback end
"Wow, now that is insane, yeah" Deidara commented. Itachi just nodded his head in agreement. Naruto then speaks "so this crazy guy who more than likely belongs in an asylum is the one who helped you kill your clan without any strings attached?" Itachi thought for a moment and then replied "actually he wanted me to join an organization of his, but I turned him down." "Really, and how did you turn down someone as powerful as Madara down if the rumors of his power were anything to go by?" Naruto asked. "Simple, with ice cream, the man just loves the stuff." answered Itachi. Naruto just hmed in thought.
Sasori then spoke up "well if you guys are done I'd just like to announce that tomorrow we will be going to an informant of mine for a supposedly S-Classed mission, Itachi you're more than welcome to join us." Everyone looked at Itachi expectantly. Normally stoic, Itachi was somewhat unnerved by their gazing and decide to join them just to get them to stop. Cheering happily about the new addition to the group Deidara, Sasori and Naruto all went off to their own tents to sleep leaving Itachi wondering about his future.
The next day started with everyone being treated to another one of Deidara and Sasori's art arguments. As they rolled off insults at each other Itachi and Naruto were standing off to the sides, Itachi asked "do they argue like this all the time?" "Yeah, but you get use to it." "I'd better, otherwise they'll drive me insane at this rate." Naruto sighed and took a large intake of air. Before doing this however he advised Itachi to cover his ears which he did. Naruto then let out all of the air in a loud shout "HEY, YOU IDIOTS, QUIT WHINING ABOUT YOUR ART, YOU LOOK LIKE QEERS, NOW LETS STOP ARGUING AND GET A MOVING, OR INCASE YOU FORGOT WE HAVE TO MEET SASORI'S INFORMANT."
This quieted any further arguments that they may have had as both of them quietly grumbled to themselves and walked away to get ready to meet the informant. Itachi who was lucky enough to have been spared from Naruto's loud shouting said "well, I'm' glad I didn't have to hear your shouting. Man you can be really loud when you want." Naruto nodded his head in agreement before saying "yeah, but I can't be too loud often. I always hurts my ears when I get that loud." "Your ears, what about mine." Kyuubi complained. Naruto chose to ignore him.
All four of them were currently in some random town in The Land of Silk(made up land). The people in this particular town were having a festival for one reason or another.
As the four of them were walking Sasori spoke "well you guys, I won't need you for when I meet up with my informant, so just go off and enjoy the festival, but be sure to meet up at that bar over there" he then pointed at a bar called The Dancing Turtle. "We'll meet up there in 5 hours, so until then enjoy yourselves." With that Sasori disappeared.
Deidara said "well, you heard the man, now let's go have some fun, yeah" and with that Deidara was off. Itachi and Naruto were left standing together it seemed like. As people milled about around them, enjoying the festival Itachi said "we should probably find something to do, otherwise were going to be bored for quite some time." So Itachi and Naruto went off together to find something to do. They rode rollercoasters, bumper cars, played carnival games, etc.
Eventually they stumbled upon a paintball court. Deciding that it couldn't hurt to play, both of them went in. After they got suited up in paintball armor an were given paintball guns they were put onto teams. They both were lucky enough to end up on the same teams. They were on Red Team while their opponents were on blue. As the doors to the room they were in open up the reds charge outside and into the paintball court which was styled to look like a forest. Naruto and Itachi stuck together as both of them had never played paintball before. "So, you think we should just stay here and wait until everyone else gets rid of each other?" "Sound like a good plan to me", and so they waited, and waited, and waited, and … guess what, they waited some more, and kept waiting. Nothing seemed to be happening and Naruto who got tired of waiting said "alright, this is boring, I'm going out there." "Be my guest, just don't blame me when you lose." Itachi said.
As Naruto went out, he kept close to the best coverage he could find, often hiding behind trees or bushes. As he kept moving he spotted another red team player who was getting attacked by two blue teams. The red guy was cowering behind some rocks while the two blue guys fired at him. Naruto noticed that the red had on an orange mask that had a swirl pattern focusing on the right eye hole which was the only eye hole on the mask. He had long raven colored hair that was tied up in a pony tail like Itachi, but his hair had occasional spikes in it. His clothing was hidden by the paintball armor.
Deciding to help out the guy Naruto found a good place to hide and aimed his gun at one of the blue team guys. He fired and ended up hitting both blues repeatedly. As the two blues now walked away in defeat covered with orange paint(hey, can't having it look like blood) the guy they were firing on came out of hiding and walked up to Naruto "thanks stranger-san. My name is Tobi, and he is a good boy." the weird masked person said.
"Uh, thanks, I guess." Naruto replied. With that done Naruto started walking back to where Itachi was. However he began to notice that he was being followed. As he turned around to face his pursuer he saw it was Tobi again. "Is there something I can help you with?" Naruto asked. Tobi fidgeted nervously and asked "c-could Tobi come with you. PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE, oh please, please, please, please? Tobi promises he will be a good boy."
As Naruto was about to say no he looked into Tobi's right eye and saw it was bulged up in the puppy dog look. Hell it even had the classic single tear coming out. Sighing in defeat Naruto said "come along." "Yay!" Tobi cheered with excitement.
As they got back to Itachi they saw he was surrounded with blue team guys laying all around him covered with orange paint. Naruto's eye twitches and he asks "do it want to know?" Itachi answers "probably not. Who's the new guy?" he asks while pointing to Tobi. Tobi takes upon himself to introduce himself "my name is Tobi, and I'm a good boy." Itachi just stands there with a WTF look on his face. Naruto just facepalms and shakes his head.
Itachi looks at Naruto and asks "so, why the hell did you bring him with you?" "He gave me the puppy dog look, what the hell was I suppose to do!" "Say no." "You can't say no to the puppy dog look" "Yes I can." "Alright then, prove it, Tobi give him your puppy dog look." "Hai." Tobi says before looking at Itachi and then giving him the most powerful puppy dog look he could muster. Itachi just stared blankly at Tobi before saying right to his face "No." This sends Tobi spiraling into depression.
As Naruto looks at Itachi in amazement Itachi looks at his watch and says "well I think we should get going, it's almost time for us to meet up at The Dancing Turtle." A this Naruto checks his own watch to see if Itachi is right, which he is. As Itachi and Naruto leave Tobi shouts "hey, wait up, I also have to go to The Dancing Turtle", he then races to catch up with them.
Once they were walking towards the bar Naruto was able to see what Tobi was wearing now that the paintball armor was off. He had on a black long sleeved shirt with open finger gloves which had a metal plate on each them. The sleeves of his shirt also had metal armor plating like the kind Harashima Senju use to wear just without the collars at the neck, these were black colored as well. Also there was a green colored scarf around his neck. He had a belt on that carried a lot of small scrolls. His pants were a blue color that was really hard to see and he wore blue shinobi sandals.
As they were all going to go inside The Dancing Turtle they met up with Deidara who was wearing something weird on his left eye. "Deidara-niisan what are you wearing on your left eye?" Naruto asked. "Oh, it's a scope. This ting will allow me to zoom in on targets when I'm up flying in the air. Not only that but this thing can help train me to counter genjutsu, yeah." Naruto raised his eyebrow at this and said "really, and just where did you buy it." "At a ninja tools shop that I found, yeah." Itachi speaks up at this "why the hell would there be a ninja shop in a place like this?" "Hell if I know, yeah." After that discussion all of them went inside.
They spotted Sasori sitting at a booth with a man who had a Venus Flytrap on the upper half of his body, his face was half black and half white and he had gold colored eyes and greenish hair. He was also dressed up in a black cloak with green Venus Flytrap images all over it, his pants were black, and he had on blue shinobi sandals. Naruto also noticed that a lot of people were giving the man strange glances although he couldn't blame them. It seemed like the plant guy just ignored them all though.
They all went over to them as sat down with Tobi sitting next to the plant guy and Itachi sitting next to Tobi while Deidara sat next to Sasori with Naruto following. Sasori spoke up "well now that the gangs all here we can finally get down to business. For starters the new guy you see with me is called Zetsu, he is one of my contacts in my spy network and he'll explain what the mission is." The now named Zetsu now spoke or rather only half of him spoke, the white side of him to be more precise.
"Before we get started I'd like to say thanks for finding Tobi for me as this makes things a whole lot easier." The black half of Zetsu decided to speak "yeah, that little runt gives me a whole fucking lot of trouble, he always runs off to god knows where." Tobi speaks up at this "but Zetsu-san, Tobi is a good boy." Zetsu laughs at this, while the black side speaks "the only thing good about you is your ability to hide." The white half says "aw, come on, he isn't that bad." "Oh really, remember the time we were at Sea Country and how we ended up having to look all over the islands there just to find the orange nuisance." Oh yes, Zetsu did remember, both halves shuddered as they went over memories that were best left forgotten. "Fine, you win" the white half said. As everyone else had their eye twitching at the argument (everyone except for Tobi, he just stared blankly into space) Sasori ahemed bringing Zetsu's attention back to him. "Right sorry about that, any who, on to the mission."
Zetsu then pulls out a scroll which he unravels revealing a complete map of a large village. The village is built in a complete circle with 2 walls. One surrounding the outside the outskirts of the village and another surrounding the inner part of it. The inner part had very tall and big builds suggesting that this was how they divided the richer half of the village from the poorer half. The so called poorer half wasn't poor at all though, just middle class. Also at the very center of the village there was an extremely large tower that was the largest building there. It easily trumped the Hokage Tower in height. The black side of Zetsu spoke "well I'm assuming you are all interested in why I have pulled out a map of an extremely large village. The reason for this is because this village is the target of the mission, or rather what is inside the village is the target of the mission." The white side took over at this point "Before I go any farther, can any of you tell me if you have heard of the Hyubasa Clan?" At this everyone started searching their brains trying to find out if they had. It was Itachi who came up with something "yes, I have, they're suppose to be a really powerful clan that rules over a village with enough military strength to equal a hidden village." That got surprised looks from everyone except Zetsu and strangely enough Tobi. Itachi then continued "one of the reasons they are so powerful is because of their bloodline, the Hayasagan(speed eye)."
"The Hayasagan, yeah?" Deidara questioned. "Yes, the Hayasagan is a dojutsu like my Sharringan. It is green in color and the pupil turns into a small pentagon that is curved at the sides. Its ability is to be able to slow down or speed up something to the users eye." "Wait, isn't that what the Sharringan does?" Naruto questioned. "Yes, but the difference is that the Sharringan can't control how slow we see something, and it doesn't speed anything up. The Hayasagan can. In fact it can make you see something so slow it might as well not be moving. Of course, none of this matters if your body isn't able to keep up with the speeds you can use with the Hayasagan."
"Well it seems like this eye of theirs could prove to be more trouble than it's worth. Zetsu, exactly how much does this job pay?" Sasori asked. "Well, it pays a total of about 20 million ryo." At this Sasori and Deidara's eyes turned into money symbols and the chi-ching sound was heard. "T-Twenty m-million ryo, yeah?" Deidara asked, stuttering a little. "Yes, I believe I just said that." "Awesome" Sasori said with enthusiasm. Naruto was shocked by the amount while Itachi just stayed indifferent (damn his completely uncaring attitude), and Tobi…well, no one cares.
Itachi then asked "so, what's the target of the mission? It's obviously very important if this I the amount of money we're being paid." "Ah, correct you are Itachi, you see according to my info the target of our mission is a scroll. The contents of the scroll contain plans to attack all of the Hidden Villages. The Hyubasa Clan doesn't have the strength to carry out those plans, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future." This caused everyone's eyes to widen as they thought of what could happen if they didn't get the scroll.
"Well then, I guess we'll be taking this mission then, after all we can't let all that money they're willing to pay us go to waste, now can we?" Sasori said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
5 weeks had now passed since they decided to take the mission. During those 5 weeks, everyone had been preparing for the assault on the Hyubasa Clan village. Deidara had been making a large clay sculpture that was made to look like a Komodo Dragon with a snake tail. He was able to mix a lot of Miracle Steel into the bomb thanks to Sasori and his Sandaime Kazekage puppet. This gave it s slight metallic sheen to it and made everything look sharper. Without Miracle the bomb was C-3 level but with it the explosion it could make would be much more powerful. The sculpture was currently the size of a coffee table, but once the jutsu activated it would easily be much larger. Also, Deidara had made a lot of other bombs that would be useful in the coming battle.
Sasori had been gathering more info on the city. He found out what times there would be patrols, what areas each patrol covered, and he also began disabling the protective seals that were on the outer wall. He only disabled a few of them so as not to attract any sort of attention. Sasori basically spent the rest of his time sabotaging and spying on the city, he had help from Zetsu though.
Naruto spent this time training, perfecting the summoning jutsu, and going over his part in the plan that Itachi made for the assault.
Finally when the 5 weeks were over they were ready. Zetsu and Tobi wouldn't be participating in the assault, but they would be watching.
It was currently night time and Deidara, Sasori, and Itachi were standing near the wall segment where Sasori had disabled the protective seals. All three of them plus Naruto were wearing radio communicator headsets. Deidara radioed in Naruto "Naruto can you hear me from where you're at, yeah?" "I can hear ya loud and clear Deidara-niisan." "Good yeah, alright everybody let's just go over the plan one more time, so first I'll crash in, bombs a blazing causing mass mayhem and death, yeah" Sasori then speaks up "and while you distract them all with your bombs, I'll sneak in and head for the tower to get the scroll" Itachi then says "and I'll also sneak in and start taking out anyone that survived Deidara's bombs" Naruto speaks through the radio headsets "and I'll sneak in from an opposite direction and summon something once Deidara-niisan's main bomb gets defeated." "Right, now we're good to go."
With that Deidara activated the Komodo Dragon causing it to be enveloped in a large cloud of smoke. When it cleared the bomb had grown into a large and terrifying creature. With a roar (don't know if it can roar, but don't care) it crashed down the wall and entered the village. Deidara threw up into the air one of his C-2 Dragons and activated it. This was also made with infused Miracle Steel thus causing it to have its spikes sharpened an give it a metallic look. Jumping on to is Deidara flew into the village thus beginning the assault.
"Well folks, looks like things are kicking up. Can't wait to see what happens next chapter, because now you all get to see how awesome I really am." "Tobi you aren't even in the next chapter, so get out, yeah." I'm not Deidara-senpai.":( "No, and since when the hell did I become your senpai?" "Just now.":) Sigh "Well folks hope ya tune in next time for our battle inside the Hyubasa Clan village. Well Ja ne, yeah"
Well hoped you liked that chapter, and sorry for not updating in so long. Sadly I fell victim to something that everyone falls victim to, laziness. Again, I apologize for not updating in so long, but as said before I got lazy, that and life come first.
Also I am going to Chicago tomorrow for one week so I won't be able to work on anything for that time period, you'll all just have to wait longer for my next update, sorry.
(1)Kyuubi knows about Akatsuki, don't want to explain how, just come up with your own reason.
(2)By the way just because Naruto knows about Madara he isn't really going to care about him as he doesn't know about his plans.
