Kinda long time I know but here is the new chapter (read and review)
Down a dusty road a lone visage walked. His body appeared worn out.
Ever since he left Konoha Naruto could not recall havening a decent meal, and his pace was constant, mild but firm.
That alone could normally have made a full fledged elite jounin fall on his deathbed. But he was anything but ordinary.
He used his sage chakra every time he started to get tattered.
He recalled hearing that a perfect sage could live solely on the sage chakra, making his normal chakra uses virtually nonexistent.
But he was not a perfect sage, and the circumstances around him made the chakra usage reduction not possible. He had a ridiculous amount of it but it wasn't unxependable.
Chakra is produced in the body but energy was needed to produce it, the sage portion helps the process and reduces the amount needed, but the fact remained reducing does not mean replacing. He needed to eat.
With the break of dawn he arrived at the borderline to some minor village.
"I'm in luck, this may do". He could go on for a week and so before chakra depletion, but he didn't want to take a chance. Better safe then sorry.
The gate post was empty.
"Some village, they don even guard the door, guess that would mean less explaining for me to do". He considered while entering.
The place looked deserted. More like destroyed if he had to assume. The stench of decay fell upon his nostrils. After a close inspection the cause was apparent. A pile of courses was in the district side of the village. The sun and the scavengers did their job at making the faces unrecognizable.
"This happened two or three days ago". The reasons unknown to him but it didn't matter anyway. What mattered was that the apparently deserted village was not so lifeless afterall.
A distinctive yet familiar chakra source had barely concealed itself behind the school rooftop. One clearly massive…
But no he was not alone Naruto found himself in a bit of a predicament.
Ninja rule number 4: Never under any circumstances get cornered or surrounded.
He was. Three enemies had equally triangulated him keeping his position centered.
He could swear those two weren't behind him a second ago.
Any hope of escaping (if he wanted to that is) was nonexistent.
He tried to appear casual, as if unaware and then he raised his voice:
"Was this a part of your plan too, to wait for me to die of old age?
A plan not to my liking, nor efficient in any way.
Show yourselves or I'll make you".
With expert precision he hurled tree kunai at the respective positions awaiting the result.
That is how ninjas greet themselves. The smirk on his face was eminent.
Sounds of metal meeting metal broke the game of cat and mouse.
And then they came.
Dark cloaks with red clouds, a red interior, and a chin-high collar all too familiar to him. The simple thought of dealing with them gave him nausea. But the treat Akacuki represented was neutralized the day of their leaders defeat, by his hands alone.
He gave them a questioning glance.
"What the hell, weren't you supposed too be running for your lives now?
Or as the trash left being you have hopes to achieve something.
Let me think for a sec, your leader is dead and so are the rest of your organization.
That leaves you three: a bandaged sword wilding blockhead, an overgrown retro plant and the I'm so ugly I have to wear a mask, by the way that is so late model, there was an amassing breakthrough they made one with 2 holes.
You know for two eyes and stuff."
"Did I get all the details?"
The masked one appeared amused.
"Funny thing to being called trash, by Konohas dead last. It is well known that the foot soldiers go in the first battle lines. And make no mistake though Pein used bodies as puppets he alone was not the puppeteer, but a puppet as well.
His voice grew murderous and omnipotent.
The one in control was always me.
I was the one that defeated Hanzo and taken over Amegakure despite what you might think. Pein was just a face. I had given him purpose and he obeyed like a dog that he was.
Blindly and without questions."
"Who might you be" Naruto asked.
"I am known by many names, and been closer then you might realize.
He reached to the side of his face locating the edges of his mask and with a loud snap the belt that fastened it was released, but his hand was keeping the mask on and his visage hidden.
"Let me introduce myself properly."
Naruto was on the "edge of his chair" as the mask gave way revealing the left side of the mans face. Closed socket opened and the last thing he noticed before the ground gave way was the "Red eye with a black wheel like pattern in it.
Naruto stood in a place well-known to him. Although not real it felt like it. He was on the outer walls of some ruins the place he left behind 2 weeks ago.
"What happened here?" Naruto asked in apparent disdain.
"I believe the right question is what will happen."
You see the seeds of destruction were planted before I left Konoha. It will destroy itself from the inside. The only thing left for me is to is watch as it crumbles.
I have no more use of it, and I have every reason to destroy it.
But let me finish my introduction". The man removed the mask completely.
Before Naruto stood a man with highly mature visage one that faced many wars and came triumphant. He knew who he was, but this surely had to me an effect of the Tsukuyomi.
"Danzo?! You are the leader of the Akatsuki?!"
"That was never my name; it was as fake as my concern for the village.
I am the one and true immortal the last of my clan and the most powerful person that ever walked the earth, one that possesses the most revered bloodline ever and mastered it to a form of perfection, and now that my family name is untainted and my plan is near its end, you may hear it as the source of your demise.
Know it, fear it, and kneel before its power I am Madara, Uchiha Madara.
Naruto was looking the other way, and apparently bemused.
"Ye, ye. Keep up the good work it will do wonders for your confidence.
But before you decide to crucify me, of make me watch unsettling scenes, to make use of us being here let me show you a little something that you might like to see".
And then looked directly at him, his eyes radiating power:
"Or more likely not!"
The view of Konoha was replaced with another similar but different.
Madara couldn't believe what he just sow.
"How… How did you do this?!"
"Shut up and look at this it's highly educational".
In the clearing that was opening in front of them two people stood.
"Sasuke you came back". One spoke.
"Baka! I am here for my revenge."
"Revenge on whom? You already killed Itachi what more do you want?"
"Don't you speak his name ever again!
Everyone will suffer like I did. Everyone will feel my pain, and his.
This village will suffer for what they did.
I will crush the leaf and kill every man, women and children, burn them in the fires of hell. My family is dead because of them. Killed so they would be safe.
They were the ones that killed my family and they will pay".
"What are you saying? Itachi was the one..."
"I told you not to say his name". He attacked with his sword, aiming to hack him in half.
Naruto parried the attack and flipped backwards as Chidori ripped the air leaving a sent of ozone in its wake.
"Sasuke stop, this isn't you. You don't know what you are doing".
But I do. I am going to kill you for standing in my way. And kill all that you hold dear. You were never my equal and I am going to prove it". Sasuke reveals his Mangekyou Sharingan and eyed Naruto.
They stood there unmoving as sweat dripped from their faces. The accursed bloodlimit eyes gazed upon the young mans blue ones.
Moments later the Uchiha dropped screaming in pain.
"I don't need to know how or what you did but now I'll incinerate you!"
Amaterasu, the powerful fire jutsu of unquenchable black flames burned everything in its path as it left his left eye and hurled itself towards Naruto.
They licked the form of his body. But no change in him could me noticed.
"If that is what you wish end my life but leave the village and my friends aside".
His demeanor calm as the flames died leaving not a single mark.
Sasuke dashed at him throwing punch after pinch, and kicks all over the unprotected figure of the Leaf ninja.
"I won't be pitied by wimps. Defend yourself. And as for your friends I promise…
I will kill them all, one by one and wipe this village from the face of this world after I end your pitiful existence.
Naruto slowly stood up all battered up but remained silent.
"So be it, this is the end! Chidori!" Sounds of birds perceiving as he dashed towards him.
Chunks of earth dissipated into nothingness as the electric energy aided with the kinetic trust passed. The target was so near and so far in his own way. It made him even more furious. "I'll kill you all!"
Narutos hand moved on its own seizing the Uchihas wrist and twisting it in the far right as he leaned over and whispered "I am afraid I can't let you do that brother".
Blood came out of Sasukes mouth as he stepped back. The white cloth now had a crimson stream coming from a gash on his left side.
Black eyes now looked upon the kunai that was in Narutos hand. His hands bloody.
The blood his. This must be some mistake was the ting of his mind.
He started laughing maniacally as his eyes started to lose focus and finally fell on the ground.
The scenery shimmered once again together with the two characters. One of witch was in front of him. The real one. Madaras eyes were wide in disbelieve. He couldn't care less about the death of Sasuke; he would killed himself if not for the fact that he was dead.
But the thing he sow was the Mangekyou Sharingan utterly defeated.
"Did he just passed trough Amaterasu unharmed, not blinking once, and deflecting Tsukuyomi? Maybe he was inventing that. Perhaps that never happened?
But what was happening now. He was in his own Tsukuyomi without any sign of control, he was trapped. And nit in one way eh was in a huge cage of metal bars reaching the ceiling located several hundred meters high the back end was not visible the only thing he spotted was darkness. He was trapped in his own Tsukuyomi.
"That is impossible! How did you do that? How can you do this? No one can. No one is supposed…"
Sorry to burst your bubble. But I can. Call it a parting gift from a commune friend of ours. Don't rely know what it is. For now it proved more then usefull.
"It seams this is your stop. This is where your personal nightmare begins. Feel free to scream if you like"
Large glowing orbs flashed disturbing the pitch black space that was the far end of the cage.
"You know what they say three is a crowd.
I will go see our friends so they don't feel neglected.
I'll leave the two of you alone. I am sure you were dieing to see each other.
Or at least one is.
He smirked as he dispersed into a flock of crows.
Naruto: Don't do it !
You and I both know I will.
