Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Author's note: I listened to 'Gravity' by Sakamoto Maaya for inspiration in writing this fic...
Sanosa-san, are you sure that Naruto killed those innocents? Are you sure he ran away? Are you sure he works for the Akatsuki? I haven't really wrote those things yet you know, the truth still remains shrouded, ne:D Read the last part of the previous chapter, his 'uncle' is not the Akatsuki leader...Souji is...
Well, in this chapter, there will be alot of answers...if not a lack of them...O.O...This will all end in Chapter 18...i think...
The story is meant to be kinda confusing, it is from my head you know...;-) I'm gonna introduce my version of the last Akatsuki member in this chapter
Please, please, please, please, please R-E-V-I-E-W...T.T
Chapter 14: Left in the Dark
Problem after problem seems to be piling up in front of her, the Akatsuki, Orochimaru, and now this...but she knows she has to stay strong for the village... Tons of paper were piling up in front of her and she knows that Shizune will probably go through those doors anytime now and dump another load of them for her... '...this job sure sucks...' Konohagakure's Hokage thought to herself...
"Tsunade-sama" Shizune had just walked in... 'I knew it...where the hell does she get all these papers anyways...'
"You knew he's here, right?" Tsunade asked her apprentice who was now stacking a new set of documents...a three-foot thick workload.
"Who?" still stacking the papers as neatly as possible.
"Don't play dumb with me...you know who..." Tsunade looked at Shizune dead straight in the eyes making her flinch.
"Oh...I thought you knew that already..." Shizune lied
"What do you think I should do with the brat?" Tsunade sighed.
Mini Flashback-
A chibi Tsunade with a handkerchief tied around her head was running away from someone while dragging a chibi Shizune and a bag load of cash...
A crying voice shouted in the background "OKAASAN, TSUNADE-BASAMA STOLE MY MONEY!!!"
End Mini Flashback...
'..those were the good times...' Tsunade thought, grinning.
"Well, you could pay him back..." Shizune cut her out of her thoughts...
"I thought Konoha already payed for that" Tsunade said in surprise.
"Tsunade-sama, I don't think personal debts with relatives were included..." Shizune explained.
"What!? He's my cousin's other cousin's son, he's far from being a 'relative'." Tsunade was outraged.
"Well, since we're in Konoha, why don't you pay him with all those money you made as a ninja." Shizune suggested.
"Ah...about that..."
Mini Flashback-
A chibi Tsunade was playing cards with a chibi Sarutobi.
Chibi Sarutobi won and began to dance with cards falling out from his sleeves.
The scene ends with chibi Tsunade punching chibi Sarutobi through the wall...
End Mini Flashback-
'...damn that old man...'
"What? You lost all your money?" Shizune was dumbstruck.
"What do you expect from Tsunade?" a voice to Tsunade's back spoke.
"Jiraiya, aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Tsunade asked.
"Well..."
Scene Break
He was looking at the setting sun...it was beautiful. 'Where am I? Is this another dream?'
He turned his head to his left, beside him was a beautiful girl about the same age as Sakura. She had dark long hair and deep dark eyes. The setting sun reflecting on her eyes...it was beautiful... The wind was blowing her hair into the air. 'Who is she?'
"It's so beautiful, ne Mada-niichan?" she said as she pushed away her hair away from her face...her voice was beautiful, like music. 'Nii-chan? This guy's sister?'
"Hai...very beautiful" he said in reply while staring at her. 'He's not even looking at the sun...'
He turned his head at front but the sun was no longer there and he was now staring at the pavement. It was not empty. There was the girl's body laying in a pool of her own blood. 'Did he kill her?'
It was raining hard...he was drenched but did not hide his flowing tears. He was staring at her body...Shakingly he raised up his hands and looked at his open palms. They were red...her blood on his hands. 'So he did...'
"What do you feel, Madara-kun?" an ethereal voice spoke.
"I feel...sad and lonely...but beautiful and powerful at the same time..." he said as he raised his head to see a beautiful blonde haired girl a few meters in front of him.
She had radiant blue eyes and pale white skin that seems to be radiating ethereal light. Her long hair was flowing like there was no gravity. She was wearing a white night gown that reached to just below her knees, she had a flat chest; she was walking barefoot. She was like a goddess. 'Odd...she's not getting wet... as if the rain avoids dropping any water on her...'
In a split second, she was in front of him. Their faces were only an inch apart so that their eyes reflected each other. 'His eyes...the Mangekyou Sharingan!?'
She raised her hands to cup his face and wipe away his tears. The water seems to disappear with her touch.
"Stop it!" a voice spoke.
The girl named then started to dance, twirling, using every limb of her body to move, graceful and horrifying at the same time. She stopped when she reached the owner of the voice. 'That's the Yondaime! but...he's a bit young...'
She stopped a few inches away from his face; he was using an umbrella to shield from the rain. A kid could be seen a ways behind the Yondaime, he too was using an umbrella. She turned her attention to him. 'He must've made him wait...'
"Who is he, Arashi-kun?" she aked the Yondaime.
He did not answer and moved his way towards the boy Mada past the girl. He looked at the girl on the ground.
"Uchiha, what did you do!?" he asked sternly as he grabbed his collar dropping the umbrella in the process.
"She...betrayed me..." he said, but he was looking at the girl behind the Yondaime who has begun to dance again. 'Betrayed?'
The Yondaime let go of his collar as a team of ANBU arrived.
"Escort Uchiha Madara for questioning and take Uchiha Kei's body..." he commanded them.
"Yes sir. What about him sir?" they said turning their attention to the dancing 'girl'.
"Leave him be" he spoke with authority. 'Him!?'
While Mada was being escorted, he stopped and looked at the dancing boy, "What are you doing? Move!"
"Wait!" He ran towards the boy, the ANBU was about to restrain him when the Yondaime raised his hand to stop them.
"What's your name?" he asked the boy who looked like a girl.
The boy them stopped dancing and looked at him "My name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto, nice to meet you...Madara-kun" he said with a smile.
At the mention of the name, Naruto bolted upright into sitting position on the hospital bed sweating and panting... 'These dreams, what the hell are they!?'
"Are you alright?" a voice to his right spoke.
"Uh...yeah" he responded once he saw Kakashi standing just to the left of the door to his hospital room.
"What happened...? 'Kujo' asked, his head still throbbing with pain.
"You passed out..." Kakashi smiled.
Flashback-
Sasuke was about to go to him when his head began to hurt...he clutched his head and shouted "OKAACHAN!!!" before passing out.
End Flashback-
"Ah...now I remember..." 'Good thing my genjutsu doesn't slip...but...the attacks..they're becoming more frequent...is it because there is only one biju left?'
"Your genjutsu didn't slip, did it?" Kakashi suddenly said out of the blue.
"Wha-what?" he was stunned by the sudden question.
"I said, the doctor says you're fine, just needs some rest..." Kakashi grinned.
'Is he playing with me?'
"Sasuke and Sakura are really angry with you now, you know...now they think that you're... Naruto ..." he said.
"Futari ga kawatta ...dakara, yamete kudasai...ontou wa nai kara...(We're both different people, so please stop it, because it's not right)" his voice was pretty serious.
Kakashi was kinda taken aback but said "I'll tell them that" he smiled.
Just Kakashi was about to leave, "Wait, Kakashi-san..."
Kakashi turned "Hn?"
"Do you know anyone by the name, Uchiha Madara? I can't to find any information about him in Konoha..." he asked.
"Uchiha Madara? Well let's see...ah yes, Sensei once said him being the most selfish, arrogant, vain, power-hungry Uchiha he ever had the chance of meeting" he answered with a smile.
"I thought they all were or 'are' rather..." Kujo grinned.
"You speak as if you know them both..."Kakashi turned to the door.
"Maybe...Kakashi-san..." he said.
"By the way, we have a diplomatic mission to Iwagakure the day after tomorrow...will you be able to come with us?"
"Of course..." he replied looking out the hospital window.
Just Otside the Ancient City of Yahirodono
"Orochimaru-sama, do you think it's wise to come here?" Kabuto asked his somewhat anxious master.
They were standing in front of a huge circular door.
"The jutsu I used on Naruto-kun is making GOD unstable...and besides it's about time I pay a little visit to Souji-kun..." he said licking his lips.
"Orochimaru-sama, how is Souji-san going to open the door to heaven?" Kabuto asked Orochimaru, intrigued.
"By following what I have taught him"Orochimaru boasted.
"If you knew all along, why didn't you acquire GOD?"Kabuto asked rather skeptically.
"It proved to be difficult when you are alone, the process requires one to accomplish three steps, the first step would be kaisen (Revolution) to acquire the unchained biju, second is rosen (Alignment) to align the biju with GOD to form the third step innen (Origin) the unity of GOD and man"
"Kaisen, rosen, innen..."
"Well then" Orochimaru made the hand seal for snake, with a surge of chakra, the circular door crumbled to dust.
Somewhere in Another Plane of Reality
It was a dark place. There was no light of any kind except a small place in the middle of the small world. The area known as 'heaven'. In the middle of 'heaven' stood a boy who looks to be in his teens, he has spiky feiry red hair , red blazing eyes and canines. He was wearing a blue flowing long sleeved shirt, that was open in the upper area revealing his shoulders. The sleeves were only connected to the shirt just below the armpits. He also wears dark blue cargo pants with lots of pockets and wears slippers. He was wearing a black choker with spikes and the number nine on it.
"GOD is almost activated..." a voice spoke from the shadows surrounding the small area of 'heaven'
"Does the human intend to use us?" another voice spoke, it was female.
"How can that be? Has Mother Amaterasu abandoned us?" another voice spoke.
"No, she hasn't" the boy spoke.
"Kyuubi, you are free aren't you? Why don't you try to stop this?" another voice spoke.
"Idiot, the Kokonotsu Amatsuseki (Nine Celestial Gates) are broken remember? I have no power in Yahirodono" the boy answered.
"What about that boy? He has taken half your powers has he not?" the same voice asked.
"That brat is a jinchuuriki, once he enters Yahirodono, his soul will be taken to So (Altar of Sacrifice)" he answered yet again and growing quite annoyed.
"Then what about the 'sannin', I've heard much about them" still the same voice.
"Ha! They're worthless old farts!" the boy exclaimed.
"Kyuubi-sama, it seems that your host has influenced you too much" an older feminine voice said.
"In any case, there is not much we can do...once the Hachibi no Hachimata is taken, GOD will be activated" the boy said.
"Such a horrible weapon indeed..." the old female voice said.
"Uchiha Madara will be unstoppable once he acquires GOD...is there really no other way?" the first voice spoke again.
"Actually there are two things that can stop him, one is to stop him from taking the Hachibi and another is to kill Madara himself" the boy Kyuubi said.
"But that's impossible, you know that Uchiha Madara is not in anyway tangible right now, we don't even know who he is now!" the second voice spoke again.
A burst of murmuring erupted.
"All you of shut up!" Kyuubi shouted, "Arguing amongst ourselves won't solve this!"
"Then what do you propose?" the old feminine voice spoke.
"I'll go back to their reality...I'll make contact with Hachimata, then I'll figure something out..." Kyuubi said as he was engulfed in blue flames and disappeared.
Inside Yahirodono
The gigantic statue in the middle of the city is continously growing in size. Inch by inch as the final biju is about to be captured the statue now stood a kilometer high and growing... On the ground a ring was formed. Seventy-two old men, with eyes stitched closed and hands nailed together formed a circle around the statue, chanting (You don't have to read this...just skip... just wanted to make a prayer...)
Subete no maggoto tumikegarewo harainozomuto amatunorito no futonoritogoto noru
全ての悪事罪穢を祓い除かむと 天津祝詞の大祝詞ごと 宣る。

After they were finished, they kneeled down, their chakra flowing on the ground to the statue infusing it with their lives as they slowly withered in death.
"It is almost finish..I just need one more key..." Souji admiring his work from atop of one of the buildings.
Amenoukihashi (The Floating Bridge of Heaven)
A bright blue flame was traversing the light of the moon also known as Amenoukihashi (The Floating Bridge of Heaven)towards the world of man. Bearing with it all the answers to questions unanswered.
"Damnit...guess I have to see that brat again..." Kyuubi no Kitsune mused as he flew with great speed while being engulfed in blue flames.
"Just wait for me, kit..." he said one last time as the blue flames erupted and turned feiry red.
Konogakure no Sato
Hospital Room.
"I heard what happened...are you alright?" Keiji asked his 'nephew'.
"Yeah, I'm fine...we will be going to Iwagakure..." Naruto said as he lifted himself up from lying down.
"So I've heard..." he cast him a worried look.
"Who am I really, Otooji?" his asked with a sad face...
"..." he didn't know what to say...
"All this time...I haven't asked about my past...my parents...my family...if I have one that is..." he lifted his right palm and stared at it.
"..." he motioned to leave, "I'll...tell you soon enough...Naruto..."
Naruto looked at him, "I am not who I am, right...Keiji?" he didn't say uncle.
"Kono akumu ga...kuretai dattebayo...(This bad dream...I want it to end...)" a tear traced his right cheek.
"Gomenasai...Naruto" Keiji left.
Just Outside Iwagakure
"At last we've finally arrived..." Hidan stretched his muscles.
"The leader said to infiltrate Stone without causing any commotion" Kakuzu looked at his partner.
It was a very long way from Tea Country indeed. They had to pass the borders of the Fire Country and Waterfall just to reach this place. They were a little exhausted, but the idea opf the last biju made them a little anxious.
"So you're here too, yeah" a voice to their left spoke.
On top of a tree were Deidara and Tobi.
Deidara and Tobi were the first to arrive in Iwagakure and were the ones who gave information on it's location.
"Hidan-senpai, Kakuzu-senpai" Tobi acknowledged their presence.
"You're directions were a little off Deidara" Kakuzu gruffly said.
"Oh, I didn't think it would be too much for that thick head of yours, Kakuzu" Deidara teased.
"Why you!" Kakuzu was getting angry...
"Why don't you stop that you morons, someone's coming" Hidan was preparing his weapon.
"It's just Itachi-san and Kisame-san" Tobi assured them which also surprised them.
After a while, the silhuettes of two cloaked figures started to arrive amidst the "Mist?"
"Where the hell did this come from, yeah?" Deidara analyzing the thickening mist.
Itachi and Kisame emerged from the mist and was now in front of them.
"How do you like that?" Kisame grinned.
"Do you really have to make an entrance?" Kakuzu said.
"It was Itachi's idea" Kisame pointed at Itachi.
"Itachi-san, I didn't know you were into these kinda things..." Hidan stared at Itachi with a mixture disbelief and...hate?
"It was necessary...or were you all planning to talk to each other in broad daylight?" Itachi wasn't even looking at them.
"Stop that Hidan; Itachi-san is never going to convert into your religion, yeah" Deidara commented noticing Hidan's glare on Itachi.
"Are we late?" a voice was heard from the background.
Zetsu and another member emerged from the mists.
The last member was a woman, long dark blue hair, enchanting emerald colored eyes.She was not wearing make-up but her face was the epitome of innocence. She had a very very attractive face. She was a bit shorter than Itachi and wore the same Akatsuki cloak. She placed a flower on the right side of her head, clipped to her hair.
"Ah, Masami-san, Zetsu-san, we were just talking about you, yeah" Deidara lied.
"Oh really? Did you talk about me, Itachi-kun" Masami edged her way to Itachi.
"In any case, let's just get started shall we?" Zetsu, Itachi, Masami and Deidara started making seals.
There was a poof and standing there were teenage kids. Itachi almost looked like Sasuke but had shorter hair and wore a blue tee and white pants like Sasuke wore before but a bit lighter in color and no symbol of the Uchiha. Masami turned into a younger version of herself and wore kunoichi clothes that was a little bit revealing. Zetsu looked a bit older that Itachi, pale skin, spiky and longer green hair and only the pupil of the eyes were yellow. He wore loose black long sleeved tee shirt and white pants that reached just below the knees. Deidara had short spiky blonde hair...he retained his face, but a younger version. He wore a regular black tee with the word BANG printed in the front; he also wore dark orange shorts that was cut just above the knee. They were all wearing shinobi sandals and Hidden Cloud hitai-ate.
"Hidan, Kakuzu, Tobi, Kisame, the four of you will await further orders here while we will locate the Hachibi," Zetsu assumed leadership.
"Gotcha, we're supposed to kill the Cloud-nins right?" Hidan becoming the second group's leader.
"Yes, but don't engage the Konoha-nin" Zetsu tossed something at Kakuzu.
"Hey, this is!" Kakuzu read the piece of parchment.
"Something to keep you busy... Let's go" at this Itachi, Zetsu, Masami and Deidara disappeared into the mists.
"What's that?" Hidan asked his partner.
"A bounty list, they're all in a village near here, this will be sweet. Most of them are a couple of million ryo" Kakuzu chuckled.
"Well, we better getting started then" Kisame suggested as they too disappeared into the mists.
