Chapter 15: Soudai Massatsushikake ( G rand O bliteration D evice )
Yahirodono, Present Time
"It's been a while Souji-kun...but I shouldn't really call you with your body's name, yes?" Orochimaru stood on top of a building with Kabuto opposite 'Souji'
"You were always the perceptive one, Orochimaru-sensei" 'Souji' smiled at Orochimaru.
"I see you are almot finished...you and your brother are quite the pair..." Orochimaru looked at the growing statue.
"What have you come here for, Orochimaru?" 'Souji' dropped the '-sensei' part.
"I believe we can come to an agreement..." Orochimaru smiled maliciously.

'What I am? Who I am?' I thought to myself as I gazed at the ground, my tears drenching the dry soil as they perpetually fall from my eyes.
'You are you' a voice spoke as I lifted my eyes to the sight of a beautiful boy with golden hair and blue eyes. He too was crying…
'Okaerinasai, Naruto-kun' he smiled at me.
'Yes…I am home...Okaachan' I answered with my thoughts blank.

The Valley of Hell's Mountains, 3000 Years Ago
An ancient civilization well beyond the borders of the gods' jurisdiction, sits at the bowels of Hell's Mountains; a group of mountain ranges that forms a circle around their city. It was a beautiful city made of steel and concrete. They named their city Yahirodono (The Room of Eight Steps), owing to natural stair-like formation of rocks along the mountains' sides. The steps were made out of organic matter, unknown to the inhabitants and each step was 50 meters high, thus it was called 'The Stairs to Heaven' because they thought that gods were the ones who use them.
They also attributed the existence of creatures called 'Angels' to these steps. The Angels' large bodies, three times that of a normal man, were wrapped with a strange fabric and had six pairs of wings sprouting from their backs, but didn't seem to use them. They had no mouth, eyes nor ears. Their arms were long, using them to climb buildings and were their main mode of transporting themselves. Their feet were like talons and never seem to use them. Angels were revered by the inhabitants. Despite their advance in technology and culture, they paid homage to these creatures as they regard them as the gods' messengers. Everything was peaceful; until an accident occurred… the Angels tasted them.
For no reason, one of the Angels hauled a man with its feet and dragged him up a building. The citizens gasped in terror as the Angel opened its concealed mouth underneath its bandages. Its mouth was like a human's but had no teeth and lips. It swallowed the man's head, but after a few seconds regurgitated it. It dropped the man's body, letting it fall dead on the ground.
The city's scientists were baffled by the strange attack and made an autopsy. The results surprised them… the man died of the fall and not because the angel put his head on its mouth. The startling thing was…his chakra were all but drained. It was all clear; the Angels had discovered the taste for human chakra. Chakra weren't all that new to them. They discovered its existence in the human body as well as its benefits long before Yahirodono is what it is today.
Month after month, the attacks started to worsen as the Angels voracious appetite for chakra started to increase. The day wouldn't go by without attacks; hundreds of victims flock the hospitals as their chakra were drained. Some even die due to the extent of the absorption and exhaustion.
The governing body of Yahirodono was at a loss. All their weapons were useless as the Angels doesn't seem to be affected at all… They knew they had to do something and fast… That is when a General Kaito suggested a solution…
"Chakra input 57 percent!" the booming voice of the military personnel echoed it the room.
The room was large and had several machines and computers lined up. It also had a gigantic screen which showed a view of the center of the city and several numbers that seemed to be important. This was the Control Station for General Kaito's 'GOD Project'. The General was supervising the whole procedure.
"Increase chakra input to 80 percent! Close the B.O.G. valves!" his voice shouting authority. If his plan works, it will destroy all the Angels living in the city.
"Sir, it's the Kaiser" one of the officers whispered to his ear.
"Put him through." The officer then gave a nodded to a military personnel which pushed some buttons on the machine in front of him.
The face of an old and rather weary looking man flashed on the screen, replacing the view of the city's center. All those in the room saluted.
"Greetings, General. I presume everything is going as you had planned" his voice though soft but had an air of extreme authority.
"Yes sir. Everything is as I expected. GOD is almost ready" dropping his saluting hand.
"Good. I'd expect no less of you" his face disappeared from the screen.
"Chakra input has reached 100 percent sir! Izanagi now showing signs of life!" the officer's voice bellowed. As soon as he said this everyone quickly began tapping their machines like crazy.
"Heart Rate: 24 BPS! Brain Activity: 13 percent!"
"Sir, there are signs of movement!"
"Movement? At 13 percent Brain Activity?" he whispered to himself. "Continue observation! Do not open Kokonotsu Amatsuseki until Brain Activity is 30 percent!"
"Si-sir! There's s-so-some weird activity above us!" an officer's shocked face appeared on the screen. It appears he was dispatched in the central area of the city.
"What is it soldier?" he asked a bit apprehensively. The screen changed to a view of the sky. What they saw stunned them.
A gigantic rock was slowly falling from the sky. It looked to be as large as the city itself and appears to have a flat surface.
"Sir! Izanagi is moving!" an officer's voice broke through their stunned minds.
"What!?" He looked back at the screen to see that the visual had changed.
They saw Izanagi's hands forcing the gigantic gate on the ground in the center of the city to open from the inside.
"Sir! Kokonotsu Amatsuseki are open!" a startled personnel yelled. But they were too stunned to hear him as the gate was now open. Izanagi was now out.
'G.O.D. ARMED' flashed on their screens.
Izanagi was a gigantic human being. Though only half of his naked body was out of the gate he was taller than all the buildings. He had a masculine body and pale skin. He had black hair and eyes. He was the most beautiful man they had ever seen.
Izanagi screamed a scream of pure agony.
The Angels who heard his scream started to tremble insanely, as their wings fluttered like a bee's. After a few seconds their heads exploded raining acidic red blood all over the city.
Then they noticed that the sun was now blocked by the gigantic spherical flat-surfaced rock that was as large as the whole valley itself. It had three strange rings in the center and seems to be directly above Izanagi. Then they watched in amazement as a gate much like where they stored Izanagi opened and revealed a gigantic naked woman. The woman also had pale skin, large breasts, black hair and eyes. She was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.
Izanagi seems to be reaching out to her and as does the woman; both their hands struggling to reach the other.
"What have I done?" the general whispered to himself as Izanagi and the woman's hands meet sending a strange white light that seems to be enveloping the city. The light started turning everything made out of flesh and blood to dust. "God forgive me…" he whispered just before the light engulfed him turning him into nothing.
Afar, it seems as if a gigantic pilar of rock descended from the sky and covered the entire valley. The pillar seemed to be endless as it came from the sky.
Then the pillar started to tremble as 9 gigantic beast slowly broke through the confines of its wall. Each beast radiated different powerful auras as they emerged and flew in different directions around the world.
Uchiha Compound, 2982 Years Later; 18 Years Before the Present.
Just what the hell do you mean she's dead!?" a voice rang out amidst the sound of heavy rain.
Arashi, known for his good relations with the Uchiha head, was tasked to report the incident to the family's clan head and elders. It was bad enough knowing they were Konoha Keimu Butai (The Konoha Military Police), now it seems they also are on the verge of usurping the ANBU's interrogation force.
"That's right," he gave them a scroll, "as you can see, her body is still being examined by the ANBU Investigation Force"
"Uchiha Madara? It can't be..." the head folded the scroll, "Are you saying he killed his own sister?"
"Yes," he said flatly, "And it seems...in the process he has attained the Mangekyou Sharingan"
A small thud was heard behind one of the doors of the room, by which one of the Uchiha guard went to see. As the guard opened the sliding door, a young boy was there.
"Itachi, didn't I tell you not to come here?" the elder said to the boy, who made it clear to Arashi that that was probably the head's son.
"I'm…sorry..." the boy Itachi bowed and was escorted away by the guard.
"Where is he now?" the head changed the topic.
"He's currently being held by ANBU Torture and Interrogation Force" Arashi answered.
"Torture? Does the ANBU think they have the power to do such a thing to one of ours?" an old Uchiha to the head's left spoke.
"I agree, Uchiha Madara is a member of this clan, as such he is our responsibility." another elder said.
"With all due respect, Fugaku-sama, I think this is not just a matter of the Uchiha clan, this involves the whole of Konoha itself." Arashi cut in.
"It does not matter what an orphan like you think! You were just found by the Hokage! Who do you think you are to tell us what is best for our village!" one of the elders spoke; the others nodded in agreement except for Fugaku.
"..." Arashi didn't speak and stared at the ground.
"You're just lucky the Hokage thinks highly of you! And to top it off, sucking up to the sannin, just to get trained by one of them, bah! Do you think the Uchiha will do the same!?" the elder spoke.
"..."still Arashi didn't speak.
"That's enough!" Fugaku ordered.
Fugaku got up and started walking "This meeting is over...Arashi, come with me" he motioned for Arashi to join him for a walk.
Arashi joined Fugaku as they walked around the Uchiha compound with umbrellas.
"Don't mind what they say" Fugaku finally breaking the silence that had graced them since they started walking.
"...they were right...I don't belong here..."
"You shouldn't dwell on such mindless babbles." Fugaku started folding his umbrella as the sun started to shine; Arashi started doing so too.
They were now standing on a small bridge over a pond with many fishes.
"How is you brother?" he asked as he took a small bag from his sleeves and started to spray food to the fishes.
"Keiji? He's fine...but I don't think he sees me as a brother yet" Arashi watched as Fugaku sprayed more food for the fish.
"It's only natural, he was told you're not his real brother, it would take time to get used to" Fugaku sprayed more fish food.
"He's the first son of the Kazama's, yes?" Arashi nodded, "Then they must have been happy" the Uchiha placed the bag of feeds back in his sleeves.
"Yes..." Arashi answered.
"I hear Jiraiya-sama and Sarutobi-sama have recommended you to be the Fourth" he smiled at Arashi.
"Uh...Ye-yeah...I still don't know if I will become a Hokage...besides Orochimaru-sama seems to be interested too..." scratching his head.
"You have my support" Fugaku assured him.
"Really? Thank you, Fugaku-sama" he bowed.
"You don't have to bow to me, you'll be Hokage soon" he put a hand on Arashi's shoulder.
"Thank you" he bowed again.
Arashi smiled; he would be the youngest Hokage ever, well if he will be the Hokage.
"You have three years to show the other members of Konoha's council what you can do, don't waste it" Fugaku advised him.
"Yes" Arashi smiled.
Hokage's Office
"What!? What do you mean let him go!?" the ANBU Interrogation head outraged in the sudden intrusion of the Military Police.
The Hokage has just called in the two leaders of the parties, Fugaku of the Military Police and Senkaku of the ANBU Interrogation Force, after heard that the Uchiha wants Madara to be in their custody.
"Uchiha Madara might have committed a crime, but it was against a fellow Uchiha, his sister. Hokage-sama I ask that let this be a matter of the Uchiha clan alone" Fugaku pleaded his case.
"Even if it was another Uchiha, it was in the village, it was-" he was cut-off as the Hokage raised his hand.
"Let them have the boy." the Hokage decided as he puffed smoke.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama" Fugaku bowed and without another word left the room.
At the same time; Just outside the Hokage's Office
Arashi was leaning his back just to the left of the door awaiting the outcome. To his right and just in front of the door was Uchiha Madara, escorted by two ANBU to his sides. His hands were shackled.
Arashi noticed that Madara's Mangekyou was still activated.
"Aren't you tired maintaining that?" Arashi broke the silence.
Madara looked at him "You're going to die..." he said coldly which surprised Arashi.
Arashi looked straight at Madara's eyes saw fire burning and suddenly his heart felt heavy. He clutched his chest and staggered but balanced himself by putting his hand on the wall.
"Arashi-sama, are you alright?" an ANBU tried to help him up.
In the instance Fugaku walked through the door.
"Madara is coming with me" he told the two ANBU.
A room in Fugaku's House; Thirty minutes after the meeting with the Hokage
"Why did you kill her?" Fugaku finally asked him as they were sipping tea.
"My angel told me." Madara answered rather coldly with his Mangekyou Sharingan still activated.
"Doesn't it use too much chakra?" he asked.
"You're son...his name is Itachi, right Fugaku?" Madara changed the subject.
"Yes..." Fugaku was alarmed at the sudden mention of his sons name and Madara's lack of respect for his name 'He's changed...but how?' Fugaku remembered the respectful and kind boy he once knew. '...it can't be!?'
Present Time, Somewhere near Iwagakure
"This is all a lie! You are not my father!" a voice rang out of his head as he stared at the afternoon sky; the sun's rays hurting his eyes.
"Kujo?" Kakashi's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. After five days of travel, they've finally arrived.
They were greeted by four Iwa-nin, three were watching them from atop the trees and one was talking to Kakashi; probably their leader.
"Humph. Your subordinate doesn't seem to take this seriously" he gave a glare at Kujo. True he was tired, but…
"Sumimasen…I'm not his subordinate" Kujo gave a wry smile. Kakashi saw this and grinned secretly.
"Well anyway, so you're the Konoha-nin that the Tsuchikage was talking about" he said while carefully inspecting their identifications given to them by Kakashi. "You're quite slow…the Kumo-nin arrived five days ago. I guess it can be expected from Konoha" his voice filled with scorn as he threw the identifications back to Kakashi.
"Well nice of you to greet us" Jiraiya smiled sarcastically. Kujo knew that having Jiraiya accompany them was something he did not expect.
Flashback—
"What?" he interrupted Kakashi who has been explaining their purpose for going to Iwagakure.
"Our mission is to—"Kakashi started again.
"I meant who is going with us?" he interrupted again.
"Jiraiya-sama" Kakashi smiled.
"Why?" he asked rather dryly.
"He knows the Tsuchikage personally; it might help us with diplomacy" Kakashi explained.
End Flashback—
"Well, it was probably because of these four that you also came late, Jiraiya-sama" respect was apparent in his tone. He seems to know the sannin, Kujo thought.
"Nani!? It was because of that old pervert that it took us longer to arrive in first place!" the pink-haired kunoichi's voice bellowed in the serene forest.
"Sakura, calm down" Sasuke tried to cool her head.
"Calm down!? It was his idea to stop at every town's onsen!" Sakura continued.
"Sakura" Kakashi's voice was serious which made Sakura stop her ranting. 'About time Kakashi-sensei…'
"Are you all finished yet? Then follow us" the Iwa-nin's leader motioned for them to follow. It took thirty minutes before they arrived at the village's gate.
The gate was a bit larger than Konoha and was made of beautiful jade crystals. It had the word 'Iwa' written on its surface with blue ink. But what surprised them was that it had no walls on the sides.
"What?" Sakura took a glance in its corner and saw nothing but a vast forest past the gate.
"Our village is protected by a powerful genjutsu" the Iwa-nin boasted. The four Iwa-nin then took places around the gate; one each on the sides, back and front. They then performed complex hand seals, ending with the boar. The jade door then flashed and slowly opened.
As they moved inside they were stunned. Beyond the gate was a bridge that connected to a piece land that seems to be floating in mid air. Then they noticed that the entire village was mainly composed of floating piece of lands that were connected by bridges. Below them were clouds and it seems that the gate was floating too.
"What? Are we in heaven?" Sakura asked the Iwa-nin.
"Humph. I suppose Konoha is not as beautiful as Iwa huh?" he boasted "Those are called ishitei (Stony Air), floating stones each carrying a portion of the village. The one this gate connects to is the 'dohyou (arena) no ishitei' and from there, there are other bridges that connect to other sections."
"Welcome" someone standing in the middle of the bridge they were currently on greeted them. It was a man, probably in his early 40's and was wearing a white robe like the Sandaime with a hat with the kanji for 'Tsuchi' on it. He was accompanied by about 10 other shinobi.
The four Iwa-nin bowed "Tsuchikage-sama" Kakashi bowed too, followed by Sakura and Sasuke.
"Hisashiburi, chikan (It's been a long time, molester/pervert)" he greeted the perverted hermit with a glare.
"Naruhodo, hisashiburi sohai (Indeed, it's been a while, small fry)" Jiraiya answered back with a glare of his own.
'Is this what you meant Tsunade-sama?' Kakashi sweatdropped. Their musings were cut short when an explosion was heard from the section of land in front of them.
"The kumo-nin seems to be enjoying themselves at the arena" the Tsuchikage cupped his chin. "Want to see them?" he asked the Konoha-nin.
The kumo-nin arrived earlier than us, I hear" Kakashi asked the Tsuchikage as they made their way towards the arena.
"Yes, they arrived five days ago" the Tsuchikage answered glancing at Kakashi.
There wasn't much to their walk, though Jiraiya and the Tsuchikage exchanged glares once in a while. Sakura was as always, loud; practically commenting on anything. Sasuke on the other hand was quiet…'what is this I'm feeling?' Kujo noticed this 'Itachi really has an effect on his brother…'
"Ah! We're here" the Tsuchikage smiled though there was a hint of boastfulness to his voice, practically targeted toward Jiraiya.
The arena was large; two times the size used in the final stage of the chuunin exams. The walls were only 25 feet from the ground, unlike that of Konoha's…probably so as to be closer to the action. The bleachers were lined up top the sides.
"Huh? That's Chou!" the Tsuchikage exclaimed seeing the Iwa-nin fighting in the arena; he seemed to be losing. He was panting and relied on his hand on the ground for support, and there were large gashes on his body. He was fighting a green haired teenager that has not even one scratch on him.
"Those are the representatives of the Kumo?" Jiraiya pointed out three teenagers on the opposite side of the arena.
"Yes, along with the one fighting Chou" the Tsuchikage was still a little stunned "The Kumo has made such powerful shinobi…Chou is one of our best jounin"
At the other side of the arena…
"Zetsu-san is sure good at acting, yeah…" a blonde haired boy remarked upon his comrade's performance "But this is getting boring…"
"They're here…" a black haired boy who was a bit taller than the blonde turned his attention opposite them.
"Took them long enough yeah…"
"Oooohhhh! Your otouto is really cute like you Itachi-kun" the blue haired girl giggled as she eyed Uchiha Sasuke.
On the arena…
"Nani…? Is this the strength of Iwa's ninjas?" the green haired boy teased the injured jounin.
"Shut up! The fight's not over yet!" the jounin named Chou roared…'Damn! Who is this kid!? He's far too strong!'
Chou grinned "Doton: Omoikousoku!(Heavy Restraints)" the land started to change at an alarming rate around the boy before he could even react. In a split second the jounin had already pushed his kunai through the boy's abdomen.
"Heh, that jutsu is an S-rank, you can't move since chakra from the ground blocked the flow of blood through your blood vessels and constricted your nerves…it gives complete paralysis" he smiled triumphantly.
"Really?" the boy faced him with a sadistic face. 'What? He can still move!?'
"This scratch…it's nothing" the boy gripped the hand he used to stab him with and forcefully took the kunai. In a swift motion he stabbed Chou's other hand through the palm, and, stunning everyone that was there, bit off a large chunk of flesh of Chou's shoulder along with the shoulder blades.
Chou screamed in pain and kicked the boy off him. The boy stood there. He spew out the bones and licked his lips. "Hey…You don't taste bad after all…"
"What are you!?" Chou yelled but a little short because of the blood loss.
"That's enough!" the voice of the Tsuchikage rang through the arena.
"I believe you are here on diplomacy…killing one of ours is clearly not a diplomatic act…" landing his eyes on all the 'kumo-nin'.
Meanwhile...At Konohagakure
'…patrolling Konoha is really a pain…' an ANBU captain sighed as he led his group through a forested area just at the outskirts of Konoha. '…I wonder what we'll find this time…' he remembered the time their squad came upon what was called the Massacre in Konoha and the apparent mutilated torso…
"You should have asked her for your money, Koji. I mean she did borrow it" an owl-masked ANBU with a large dog by her side conversed with a fox-masked ANBU.
"Yeah…but I mean, it's been a long since I saw Hakubo (Aunt)…and she didn't even remember me…" the fox-masked ABU looked down.
"Well…she's the Hokage now, she must be busy" the boar-masked ANBU joined in.
"Yeah…you're probably right…"
"Taichou!" the bird-masked ANBU who was at front gained their attention.
"What is it, Hagane?" their captain faced the byakugan user as he motioned them to stop.
"There's someone 500 meters ahead of us…he seems to be alone" he pointed due north…
500 meters away…
"You know what to do…" a dark voice spoke to the man lying on the grassy part of the forest.
"Hai…Madara-sama" the man opened his crimson eyes with three tomoe spinning in each of them…
"Do not disappoint me...Shisui"
The Forest Outside Iwagakure
"Rin, it's time for you to move" the same dark voice spoke to a woman standing at the very top of a tree.
"I see…then it's time for me to have a talk with Kakashi-kun" she grinned.
Forbidden Love
'I hope she'll like this…'
Flashback—
"Onii-chan can you buy this for me?" my sister pointed out a rather expensive dress.
"Ano…can you pick something else, Kei-chan?" I reasoned with her.
"No! You said you'd buy anything for me remember?" she smiled at me; damn…I couldn't do anything…she's too beautiful…
"Well...How about I buy it for you tomorrow?" I tried to convince her…I didn't have much money…
"Promise?" she smiled.
"Yeah…" now…where to find some money…
End Flashback—
'I'm sure she will…huh?' I stared at the sky as rain started to fall on my face…
"Rain…? Is the sky…crying?" I ran…I wouldn't want the dress to be ruined…
I reached the Uchiha compound and raced to our house on the opposite end of Fugaku-sama's house.
I heard a scream…
"Kei-chan!" I rushed through the door to see my sister on the floor with blood on her nose and mouth…It was father...he was drunk again…
"You bastards! You are part of the Uchiha clan and yet you flaunt your incestuous behavior in public!" he roared…someone must have told him.
He motioned to kick her again…but I rushed to shield her with my body letting go of the dress bought her… I didn't care about that now…She was crying…I wiped her tears away with my hands as father continued to kick my back and sides…I didn't falter. I will not let him hurt her…even if I die…
"You! You! Why?" he shouted in frustration.
"Because I love her!" I shouted back without looking at him. It was as I feared…he took one of the swords in display…I held her closer to me as she cried on my chest…I closed my eyes waiting for the inevitable…but it never came…
I opened my eyes…somehow she was asleep…I rested her on the ground and turned to see our father on the ground drowning in his own blood…I was shocked at first…but in my heart I knew he deserved it…he was going to hurt her!
"I'm quite impressed by your love for your sister, Madara-kun. I just couldn't stand by and watch" Orochimaru-sama emerged from the shadows…the kusanagi drenched with blood.
He extended his hand to me…"I'll give you power…I will make you strong enough to protect her…come with me" he gave me an offer… I had to be strong...to protect her… I reached to his hand…the hand of the devil...I vowed as the gods cried...I will become powerful!
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked that...hehe...
