Chapter 4: Rage Revisited
There is no such thing as safe on this island!
-Dr. Alan Grant
The Root Nins…soldiers that Danzō trained especially to deal with the dark side of Shinobi life, hence the name given to his group ROOT, that which grows in shadow…never seeing the light of day and cold as the very earth it grows in.
Trained to be rid of all emotion to be the epitome of, according to Danzō, the word Shinobi completing their assignments to the letter, not fearing for their own lives, no conscience to bog them down from doing what is necessary to complete the mission, killing without remorse be they old, young or just newborn.
Yet there is one emotion no matter how much mental conditioning one goes through, even if one deadens all sense of feelings, the greatest of all emotions, the strongest, at times a saving grace and at others one's bane and that emotion is FEAR. That gripping terror one feels clawing like a beast at the back of one's mind, crushing your heart causing one to falter, choking one's breath forcing them to take a step back.
Such a feeling is now what had gripped the Root Nins surrounding Naruto, even though they are unable to understand what emotion they're feeling, cold sweat poured down their face as they froze hearing the strange growls, calls surrounding them.
"I know no such animal that makes these kinds of calls." remarked a Root Nin who specialized in tracking as a Hunter-Nin.
'Byakugan' Aoi scanned the area and saw nothing but grey figures flitting about in the darkness around them, 'This can't be right, grey indicates no chakra, but all living beings possess chakra, grey means they're dead.' "Take position around the boy! Watch each other's backs!"
"Hai, Taichō."
As the Nins took position around the boy encircling him, Ninjatō drawn, they saw a pair of glowing red eyes watching them from the windswept elephant-grass, a large being stepped out onto the blackened crater created by the surge of Yōki originating from Naruto.
Aoi watched the creature as did the rest of the Root Nin, in a flash of lightning they caught a full glimpse of the deadly creature, and they all watched it turning in Aoi's direction which turned out to a fatal mistake to the ones furthest away from the biped as they were dragged into the brush behind them.
Their screams drew the rest of the Nins attention and all they saw were two white reptilian tails ending in red tuft disappear back into the large grass, Aoi's eyes widened as he turned back towards the creature they just watched but a moment ago, had all but vanished.
Aoi wondered if Danzō-sama would like to see this creature for himself, if they could hide from their senses and pick off the teams two best sensors just like that, in a split-second at that, they might have some use "Spread out and find that creature, kill it, we will take its body with us to Danzō-sama. Kiri, Dai stay with me to guard the boy."
All he heard were screams of pain and horror mixed in with shrill screeches and roars, Aoi using his Byakugan witnessed everything, his team being picked off one at a time by these alien creatures, five Nin ran out of the brush towards them one holding a horribly mauled arm and shoulder, he began to lag behind and a grey colored biped beast jumped right in front of him and a another appeared behind, he looked towards his teammates and his captain his mask shattered showing large gashes along his face, his eyes pleading…no begging for mercy and help from them.
But all his 'Teammates' could do was watch in morbid fascination as the two beasts tore into him, blood flying everywhere, a severed arm actually hit one of the female Root Nin causing her to shake uncontrollably and fall on her haunches, but what really got to the surviving members of this retrieval team was the fact that the man, his entire lower torso lay on the ground as the beasts fed, his remaining hand reached out to his teammates and in a garbled voice as blood pooled in his mouth, he pleaded "Save me"
His arm fell, as one of the beasts used the large sickle like claw to pierce his skull and growled towards the rest of the Nins, its orange slit eyes glowing in the dark menacingly, the storm seemingly helping to heighten their fear inducing persona as many more appeared out of the bushes including the one they first saw, fluorescent green stripes on its back glowing in the dark. Two loud roars behind the group showed two quadrupeds, lizard like with white scaly skin with black stripes, the stripes surrounded by a layer of red fur, their snouts sporting 11in canines dripping in blood, two black streaks ran down on their face from the base of their eyes giving the impression of tears as they glistened in the light provided by the storm.
Thunder rolled above as if announcing the end of the line for these so called emotionless hunters, as the creatures awaited their leader to command them to end this. With a mighty roar the leader charged, his pack close behind, as they sealed the deal, so to speak, on their quarry.
Defiant to the end, even though they felt true terror filling every fiber of their being, One Root Nin rushed at one of the quadruped, thrusting his blade in an attempt to impale the creature's head. The creature much to the shock of the Nin dodged and lunged forward its maw opening wide revealing serrated fangs, raising his arm in an attempt to block the attack only to have the beast clamp down on his arm causing him to scream and the beast using its weight and strength pulled the man's arm off literally, blood spurting everywhere and the second quadruped came up behind the man, its jaws closing around his neck, slowly choking him to death as the other began tearing into his body.
A Female Root Nin, Kiri seeing an opening ran only to have one of the biped jumps from nearly 12 ft away landing directly on her back, causing both to tumble into the Long grass which shook as the creature tore into her and as her screams echoed through the area despite the howling winds.
The rest of the Root Nin fared no better as the creatures seem to show a high level of intelligence by dodging their weapons and responding by using teamwork to bring their prey down, one Nin was slammed by a tail of the creature causing him fall and giving the animal the chance to claw and tear him apart, many Nins lost their limbs before they were killed.
Till only one, Aoi remained and that was only because of "Hakkeshō Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation)" which threw back any creature that attempted to attack, the large blue scaled biped strode forward as it watched a pack member stand back after being thrown back.
Its eyes narrowing, it charged, Aoi seeing this "You're dumb beasts after all! Hakkeshō Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation)." The leader apparently slammed into the dome of chakra, Aoi smirked knowing these animals couldn't pierce the Hyūga clan's ultimate defense, only to have his eyes widen in shock as he saw the creatures forearms break through the Chakra dome as though it were water and grab him, a scream of pain and horror was all that left him as a multitude of fangs and claws ripped him to pieces. His last thoughts rerunning on what he just witnessed 'It's…its chakra level exceeded Kage!'
.
.
The Blue scaled leader was on an adrenaline high, as was his pack, feasting on the foolish humans that invaded their territory, he turned back to the body of the pale eyed one, digging into the human's flesh as he devoured large chunks, the Blue scaled leader snorted when the human's actually attempted to face them typical human arrogance, thinking anything thing beastlike is below them and therefore weaker. The humans may have gained strange abilities, well its kind have not been sitting idle either.
They were instinctive hunters and never passed up a prey. Killed even when they weren´t hungry. They were agile, tireless runners and incredible jumpers. Had lethal claws on all four limbs; one swipe of a forearm would disembowel a man, spilling his guts out. And had powerful tearing jaws that ripped flesh instead of biting it and were more intelligent than most would give them credit for.
He saw movement in the middle of the blackened crater, recalling that the humans seemed awfully determined to defend whatever lay there, with a short bark the Alpha leader and his pack surrounded the being in the middle of the crater, the leader saw a young boy, a hatchling in his opinion, covered in cuts, holding a large gash on his side panting hard, his arms and legs covered in horrible burns. He felt disgusted not only were those filthy humans ready to abandon one of their own but they hunt down a hatchling and not even have the decency to finish it quickly.
One of his pack members, a younger male stepped forward to end this child's suffering, but as he lowered his maw to the child's neck, the large muscular tail of its Alpha slammed into his side throwing him off his feet. The Alpha roared as he turned to the boy his eyes widening by the second, was it a trick of the light, were his senses being mulled by this storm, but as he neared his head to the boy's closing eyes and scanned his face seeing unmistakable whisker marks…whisker marks that he had seen on only one other hatchling and though the boy's scent was muddled by water and poison, he recognized the scent of the boy's blood and as the boy lost consciousness he growled something that made all the pack members chatter in surprise.
Barking for silence, he bent down and examined the boy, the more he examined the more he confirmed his dreadful conclusion, the two quadrupeds whined as one moved her snout lightly nudged the boy, she whined worryingly to her Alpha who just growled in response swinging his head indicating the boy's burns, they were healing, slowly albeit but they were healing. The Alpha his fluorescent stripes glowing in anger gently picked the boy up by the scruff of his shirt and laid him securely over the female quadrupeds back, whose red fur grew increasingly covering the boy and securing him on her back.
Now the strange but familiar wound on the dead human made sense to the Alpha who ordered a few pack members to pick up the body of the dead Root Nin captain before he sped off into the darkness along with the injured hatchling who according to the Alpha had been away from the nest for far too long. He snarled knowing that all hell was about to break loose after tonight and it seemed like such a refreshing night too.
With Naruto
Naruto could barely keep himself conscious but now he wished he weren't, he may have been a Shinobi, he may have seen death but never had he seen something as brutal and graphic as the massacre of the Root Nins that assaulted him.
He fought hard not to retch at the sight of the amount of blood, body pieces and organs as these strange beasts feasted upon his assaulters and would be captors, he nearly pissed himself as he watched in horror as the man two of the beasts cut open still lived and begged his so called comrades to save him.
The roars, the screams all mixed together along with the sounds of the storm in a cacophony of fear as Naruto found himself unable to move or utter a single word, forgetting everything for the moment even the pain of his wounds as his mind fixated him to scenes of gore before him.
But nothing shocked him more than watching the larger blue scaled creature tear through a Kaiten (Rotation), as though the chakra was nothing but water and then proceeding to rip apart the Hyūga.
The shock forced his mind to acknowledge his injuries once again, covering his mouth to muffle his pained cry, he tried to crawl away not wishing to be dessert for these frightening creatures but it was for naught as he attracted their attention towards him, his mind slowly succumbing to the pain, his senses began to blur.
Hearing nothing but roars, growls and barks and before he lost consciousness he saw the figure of the blue scaled creature stood over him and growled not menacingly though.
But what felt strange to Naruto as he lost consciousness, was that he understood what the creature growled very clearly.
"Uzumaki"
.
.
Skidding to a halt in front of the caves, the Alpha lets out a screeching, birdlike call, which echoed through the cave alerting the rest of the inhabitants of something being awfully wrong. As the clearly human Shinobi inhabitants emerged from the cave, rushing to see what caused the Alpha to be so frantic in his calls.
"What's wrong Shade; it isn't like you to lose your cool." the older Shinobi dressed in his battle garb and bottom half his face covered by a raptor-beak mask known as Makaze Mokin (Evil Wind Raptor) jested with his long time partner Shade.
Shade's feather like quills stood as he snarled at him, clearly to the humans standing before him, Shade was in a serious mood. Shade growled and barked towards the quadruped ordering her to drop her burden, and as the fur receded to reveal a badly injured boy, who the quadruped gently laid on the ground in front of them.
Mud sloshing as the rain pounded on the earth, a blue haired woman, a large light blue paper flower adorning her hair went immediately to the boy's side as did two others along with Mokin, their eyes widened as they saw the boy's face, Mokin' expression darkened.
"Konan, what's the damage to the Konoha boy." asked a fair-skinned man with chin-length red hair, his deep purple eyes scanning the boy's injuries himself noticing the Konoha headband strapped to his side.
"Nothing nice, Nagato… he's got multiple lacerations, a large gash to his side, a few broken ribs, a shattered wrist and chakra burns on his limbs and navel along with severe chakra exhaustion." Konan observed her hands glowing green over his gash as it began to close "And a very strong poison wreaking havoc with his chakra system."
"Kami, What kind of shit did this kid go through." said a short spiky orange haired and brown eyed man, a large sword strapped to his back. Touching the boy's face, specifically the whisker marks "And why does he have whisker marks."
"I don't know but I intend to find out, Yahiko." Mokin touched the boy's forehead for no more than a minute.
His eyes shot open, his breath coming in short quick gasps as his chakra level began to rise, and completely went to a whole other level as he screamed out of rage, out of pain, out of sorrow. A pulse of chakra emanated from his body and in but seconds the storm that raged seemingly dissipated due to the potent chakra breaking it down.
The many masked Nin including Konan, Nagato and Yahiko looked on in awe at the display, whatever he saw in the boy's mind it mustn't have been anything good if Mokin used Tensō Jūrin (Subjugation of the Heavens) subconsciously.
Taking deep breaths the masked Shinobi turned to Konan "Take care of the boy…he is Kushina's son." There wasn't one Shinobi, masked or not who weren't gaping at that revelation.
He turned away and began walking into the forest "I want everything to be packed by the time I return, we're pulling out."
"Hai" the various Nin bowed before leaving to execute their orders.
Konan stood as she watched Shade walk beside him "But where are you going, Ojisan."
"Going to hunt some leaves." he blurred out of their sight along with Shade, as Yahiko picked up the boy and followed his teammates to the Medic station, all the while feeling sorry for those who incurred Mokin' wrath.
3 days later in Konoha
In the village of Konoha, the skies were clear, the sun shone brightly down upon them. The streets were bustling with heavy traffic as merchants began to pour into the village, a fairly common occurrence in such a noteworthy village. Merchants came far and wide for the chance to sell their products behind the walls of Konohagakure no Sato...
But never before were they in such mass or more specifically such festivities.
Every corner of every street was lined with merchants of silk, fine metals, wine, honey, anything that could be bought or bartered lined the streets of the village, and at each stall, dozens of civilians and Shinobi alike crowded to buy their goods.
At the front gates of Konoha, two Chūnin Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane were growing increasingly annoyed with the ever growing numbers of merchants that were checking in and out of the village.
The reason for such chaos in the village was due to a festival. Just a few days ago, one Genin Sasuke Uchiha attempted to defect to Orochimaru for power but was put to a stop by a group of Genin more specifically his own Teammate, pariah of the village, Kyūbi Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki but instead of praising him for a successful mission he was exiled, it's been week since he left the village unannounced. Once news of his exile and departure had been made known…a festival was announced in the village against the wishes of the Hokage Tsunade, and every merchant from Konoha to Suna had packed up their wares and rode as fast to Konoha as they could.
The two eternal Chūnin guarding the gate finally managed to catch a breather, and sat back in their chairs, "Damn Izumo...how many does that make today?"
Izumo turned his head, "Ingoing, or outgoing?" he pointed to his right, which had two stacks of documents, easily the size of a small child in height each, "Either way, I think we just beat the record for most amount of paperwork signed by gate guards."
Kotetsu leaned back on his chair "Naruto did the right thing by leaving as quickly as possible. I would've snapped if I had to watch him get thrown out by these bastards."
"Yeah" Izumo watched a few clouds roll by. They both were interrupted by a gust of black wind blowing through the gate and a feeling of dread filling not only them but the entirety of Konoha.
.
.
Tsunade wasn't in the best of moods today, every order to call off the festivities was fought against by a majority of the civilian council, and she could do nothing to stop it without inducing a riot among the civilians, the last thing she wants is give the honorable Elders or Danzō leverage over her.
Thankfully for her she doesn't have to do anything, as apparently the Fire Daimyō heard of the festival celebrating the exile of Kyūbi Jinchūriki and came to Konoha except judging by his angry expression and a contingent of his legendary Kagutsuchi Corps Samurai led by the highly well known and skilled Samurai Takemaru Setsuna, leader of the Daimyō' Royal Guard, it was pretty clear he didn't come here for the festivities.
They now stood atop the Hokage tower, the daimyō preparing to let his displeasure known to Konoha, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi; teams Guy, Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi along with Konohamaru and a few trusted Shinobi stood beside their Hokage along with the clan heads, the Elders, Danzō and the civilian council standing directly behind them.
The Samurai dressed in their crimson armor with flame like jagged edges, carrying various Katana and wearing Oni helmets, Takemaru garbed the same with the only difference being that his armor possessed dragon shaped pauldrons, his chest plate depicting a dragon coiling around a tree, wearing a high collared black coat under his armor and white hakama pants, covered in chain mail like armor. He didn't wear an Oni helmet/mask, but only a metal headband that had a horn on the right temple. Blue stripe-like tattoos beneath the right eye going down the cheek, long black hair tied in a top knot ponytail held by a claw-like ornament and unlike his subordinates he wielded a Jian like long blade and is a master ofYōshin ryū (Willow Heart Style), a unique style that suited the blade he wielded and is mainly focused on development of internal energy and kyūsho-jutsuatemi (vital points striking), basically the style is Jujutsu (Grappling arts) for swords.
The Daimyō was dressed in long white robe with red lining and a large headdress and a fan in hand, he addressed the civilian council "I did not exile the boy out of spite or fear for what he holds, nor do I condone celebrations to be held for the exile of an innocent boy and if what Tsunade here is telling me true, the civilian council and the elders are over stepping their authority. By the end of today whatever Tsunade-dono commands will be followed to the letter and not the other way around."
As he turned to address Konoha, he froze as did everyone as a massive amount of Killer Intent fell upon their bodies, the Shinobi searching for the source found that the man garbed in black and green, a shirasaya nihonto with the name Fuyutsuki ('Winter Moon') painted on its hilt strapped to his side and a mask hid half his face from the nose down, shaped like a beak of a bird of prey, obsidian black in color.
Jiraiya and Tsunade' eyes widened as they recognized the figure, Hiruzen spoke "Makaze Mokin (Evil Wind Raptor)"
"It's been a long time Jiraiya…Tsunade…Hiruzen." his eyes scanning the rooftop audience. "Oh, that was but a greeting."
Puzzled by his words, the Shinobi turned to the old Sarutobi, but their attention was pulled away by a loud gasp from Kakashi who had revealed his Sharingan eye; his eyes wide in shock and Sasuke who activated his Sharingan when Mokin appeared let out in a strangled voice "Imp…Impossible" his Sharingan eyes spinning as he fell back on his haunches, scared of the figure before them. Kakashi was having the same expression as Sasuke.
Gai stood beside his eternal rival "What's wrong Kakashi."
Kakashi pointed his finger towards Mokin, when they looked back, surprised to see the sword strapped to Mokin' side unsheathed, he himself standing in a stance with his sword over his left shoulder and the sword pointing towards the Leaf Nins. "The Sharingan couldn't follow his movements."
What happened next, everyone understood why Kakashi stated that, every Shinobi vest had the red spirals cut out in perfect circles, the Samurai had their shoulder plates shatter, the Daimyō' headdress split symmetrically in half as did Tsunade' Hokage Hat, Jiraiya' Headband and Hiruzen' pipe.
And as these things fell and the sky suddenly become increasingly cloudy Mokin just named the technique he used on them "Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū • Yaksha Senkū [Flying Heaven Honorable Sword • Yaksha's Empty Flash]"
.
.
"Uzumaki" growled a large bipedal reptilian beast towering over an injured Naruto, it red eyes glowing as it lunged fangs and claws bared.
"AHHH…!" Naruto jerked awake sweating, his breathe fast. "Slow down Kit."
'Kyūbi…We aren't dead.'
"No, but did come pretty close though, so I would advise against what you're doing right now."
Naruto pushed away the blankets and got off the bed albeit on wobbly legs, steadying himself as he almost lost his balance, 'Calm down Kyūbi…'
Naruto stopped his thought as Kyūbi expressed its displeasure "Calm Down! Need I remind you that we nearly got killed a few hours ago and…..Is that music I hear?"
"I hear it too." Naruto heard also the telltale clangs of metal on metal, curious of their connection Naruto despite Kyūbi's threats to go back to rest, maneuvered through the tunnels to the source of the sounds. Which turned out to be a large arena much like where the preliminaries of the Chūnin exams was held and peaking over the railing Naruto witnessed two men in the arena facing each other in combat.
} Formula of Fear (Hybrid's Echoplex Mix) – Hybrid {
} 4:55 to 9:31 {
Both men had cuts in their clothing and charged each other, the orange haired man wielding a large sword and the red haired man had two black rod like blades connected with a grey chain. Their weapons clashed causing their chakra to blast of the weapons in a crackle of electricity. Naruto watched in awe as he barely kept up with their movements as they blurred across the arena, the red haired man threw a few shuriken and using hand seals, thrust out his hands, "Fūton • Reppūshō [Wind Style • Violent Wind Palm]"
The Shuriken flew even more rapidly towards their target who holding a single hand seal and drawing a large breath exhaled "Suiton • Mizurappa [Wind Style • Violent Water Wave]"
Naruto braced himself as the water technique lashed out with violence, waves slamming into where he stood like a harbor, and watched as the orange haired man's sword jutted out like a sharks fin, racing towards his opponent "Mizu-ō • Kyoshi-jō nami [Water King • Serrated Wave]"
The man jumped high above the arena as his blade began to form jutting fang-like water protrusions, his sword raised high above his head water swirling violently around it, Naruto turned just in time to see the man throw one of his black blades causing it to tie around the others blade, he pulled forward causing the orange haired man to lose focus on his attack and as he fell towards his opponent he raised his blade just as the red haired man's purple eyes glowed and he jumped forward the black rod in thrusting stance "Kokushintō • Metsusen [Black Needle Stab • Destructive Flash]"
Naruto couldn't even follow what just happened, he blinked and wham the orange haired guy was slammed into the wall bound by the chain, hanging from the two rods, "Wait till I get out of this, Nagato! I'm gonna kick your ass."
Nagato just raised his hand "Maybe some other time Yahiko, Our guest is awake and in awe at our display." Both Yahiko and Nagato looked directly at Naruto who in surprise backpedaled till he felt a hand hold his shoulder stopping him.
"Oi" the voice was feminine; he turned around to come face to face with a black figure that caused him to shriek.
.
.
.
Mokin dropped from the railing and walked calmly towards the procession atop the Hokage Tower, only for the Samurai to unsheathe their swords, charging their chakra through their blades causing them to become bigger and sharper chakra swords, Takemaru himself unsheathed his Jian blade "Halt, State your business and leave, if you proceed to approach the Daimyō we will be forced to bring you down."
Yet the words seemed to unaffect him as he kept walking towards them, his sword gleamed in the now cloudy sunlight. Takemaru sweated a little at the man's seemingly unafraid nature, but he was not here to see this he was here to protect his charge and that is what he will do, "The Time for warnings has passed, Stop Him!"
The Samurai charged forward in a close knit formation hoping to encircle him, only for him to disappear from their vision and appear crouched low, sword sheathed right in their midst. Unsheathing his sword in an upward arc and spun around his back facing Takemaru and the people atop the Tower. He turned around and continued to walk till he stood feet from Takemaru and all the while he did this the Samurai remained frozen in their places as if they were made of stone not flesh.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū • Ō no kōgeki [Flying Heaven Honorable Sword • Assault of the King]" No sooner had those words left Mokin' mouth the samurai who stood frozen fell, their armor and swords shattered. Takemaru inclined his head towards Mokin, "Never in a million years would I have imagined my sword would cross against a wielder of the fabled Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, you must be a descendant ofKenshin Himura, the pioneer of sword styles."
"Himura was but his alias, but yes I'm related to him." Mokin replied to which Takemaru raised an eyebrow, and swung his sword in a swift movement hoping to catch his opponent unawares only for the blade to be blocked, Mokin looked at Setsuna' stance "Yōshin-ryū (Willow Heart Style), a difficult style to master but impressive for your age, though I'm surprised you tried to catch me unawares."
Takemaru pushed his chakra into the blade attempting to force Mokin back "If the stories about Kenshin's style is true, then I'm afraid I'm going to need every chance I can get…!"
Both pulled back to strike their blades again only for Mokin to slip past "Your blade is still not trained enough boy."
Takemaru fell to his knees, multiple cuts appearing on his body, though some how his armor seemed intact and as he fell forward he spoke the philosophy of his Yōshin-ryū (Willow Heart Style) "jaku niku kyō shoku."
The weak are meat; the strong eat. Those aren't really reassuring words for the rest of the Shinobi who now faced Mokin who just raised his sword to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi's transformed summon, the ground creating a small crater around Mokin' feet, "It's been quite some time hasn't it, Monkey King Enma…Hiruzen since we crossed weapons, though I do remember last time you used Enma as Kongōnyoi (Adamantine Staff) being much heavier!" he pushed the old Sarutobi back only to face Hiashi Hyūga' Byakugan, his hands cupped Hiashi' chakra swirling around a single point between his palms.
Closing the gap he thrust his arms out as a double palm strike to Mokin' chest only the chakra around his hands formed the head of draconic creature "Jūho • Ryūguchi [Gentle Step • Dragon's maw]"
Now everyone gaped as they witnessed an A-rank technique get caught by a bare hand, Mokin had dropped his blade to catch Hiashi' strike and grip his palms, who could only watch in shock as Mokin' right hand glowed, as he thrust his palm forward "Hokuto Shinken • Gōshō Ha [North Star Divine Fist • Iron Palm Wave]"
A palm shaped blast of chakra slammed into Hiashi' gut throwing him quite a distance before he stopped only to find that his chakra control was shot and as Hinata and Neji helped him up found that his wound was not lethal but debilitating enough for him to not join the battle again. But he watched as the rest of the Clan heads charged forward namely Tsume Inuzuka and her companion Ninken Kuromaru, "Gatsūga [Fang over Fang]"
Mokin quickly held his sword once again and swinging it in a wide arc, caused large horizontal tornadoes of black wind to engulf both of them "Ryūja no Mai [Dance of the Dragon Serpent]"
Both Kuromaru and Tsume emerged from the tornado covered in cuts, as they fell in heaps flying past Mokin, "Very impressive, you used their attacks as decoys and their very shadows as anchors to capture me. A bit cruel to use them like that, don't you think, Shikaku Nara."
"Hi jutsu • Kagemane [Hidden Jutsu • Shadow Possession], Success; No, knew from the get-go you weren't killing anyone so no one was at risk." The Nara clan head and Jōnin Commander stated from his crouched position, holding the rat Hand seal.
Mokin raised an eyebrow "And what makes you so sure that I wouldn't kill everyone here right now."
"The fact that you're fast enough to circumvent the Sharingan and the state of our vests proves your immense skill, if you had an interest in having us dead you would've aimed for our heads instead of our clothing."
"That is some risky reasoning." Mokin stated but Shikaku shrugged and continued "Like I said you could've killed us but it felt like you wanted to make a statement."
"Very astute Nara-san." He raised his sword shocking everyone present and even Shikaku that his technique was overpowered and being used against him, "Let me give you some advice Nara-san, never use Shadow techniques against me." Mokin stabbed his sword on the shadow "Meiton • Kageoni [Dark Style • Shadow Demon]"
A sword made of shadow emerged from the floor and pierced through Shikaku' shoulder, Inoichi and Chōza, Shikaku' teammates charged at Mokin in a two pronged attack, Inoichi used a box like Hand seal, "Hi jutsu • Shinranshin [Hidden Jutsu • Mind Destruction]" but stopped as Mokin grabbed Chōza, punching him in the gut and threw Chōza towards him causing both to crash against the railing. Shikamaru, Ino and Chōji shouting out to their now downed dads.
"Hi jutsu • Bōsui-tai keisei [Hidden Jutsu • Spindle Formation]" Shibi Aburame's Kikaichū beetles attacked Mokin in a spiraling motion in order to stop him from retaliating. It seemed as though the insects did indeed engulf Mokin, but a sharp pain erupting from Shibi' gut and him doubling over proved them wrong as Mokin stood in front of Shibi his fist placed in Shibi' gut.
"H-How…" Shibi heaved as he fell to his knees Mokin replied "Does it really matter, though you can forget about contacting your hive, the seal I placed on you disrupts any signal you can send to your bugs."
'Maybe it's time I really mix it up and maybe show Konoha a taste of how an Uzu Nin battles.' Mokin tapped a silver disk that hung by his belt and as it glowed music filled the area, the disc specialized to create a Genjutsu on its wielder to increase intimidation and also record everything that occurs around the wielder, 'Not to mention a certain researcher thought it would be badass, seeing the reaction of the younger generation back on Uzu made me agree with him too.'
} The Tempest – Pendulum {
Mokin jumped back avoiding the Kongōnyoi, Sarutobi growled "What is the meaning of this Mokin I thought we were allies."
Before he could answer he blocked a Ninjatō from a blank masked ANBU and ducked under the swipe of another, both jumped back creating more space as they charged forward again intent on cutting the man's head off.
Mokin didn't even move, his sword held at his side and as the Root ANBU's Ninjatō neared his throat, Mokin just exclaimed "Tsuranaru Hebi [Icicle-Formed Snake]"
Black Ice exploded around Mokin and everyone watched in awe as a serpent larger and wider than two full grown men made entirely out of ice and its scales made of spear-head shaped Icicles surrounded Mokin and on which the two Nins had unfortunately impaled themselves, the icicle formed serpent spun its coils rapidly shredding the two Nins to frozen pieces, the serpent hissed threateningly baring its crooked icicle shaped fangs, its hood flared out, standing above Mokin, "Allies? At one point perhaps but after what I witnessed and what you've done, sending you to the Shinigami's stomach would be a kindness."
Saw you the other day
Looking so undermined
"Look at you, once you were a strong Shinobi feared by all, what turned you into a spineless cur bending over for the whims of cowards, when did you lose grip of your own forces, that you couldn't even control one idiot's foolish ambitions." Mokin continued talking to Hiruzen gesturing Danzō in the end.
Before Hiruzen could even open his mouth, Mokin cut him off "Did you think your mistakes wouldn't be found out, that your own foolishness would come back to bite you in the ass."
Acting like it wouldn't happen
Making sense of anything that you could find
"For Kami' sake, tell me what you're talking about!" the old Sandaime exclaimed, Mokin laughed a cold laugh "Oh let's just say that I was having a little stroll around the ruins of Uzushiogakure, guess who I met a young, blonde, blue eyed, whiskered boy…explain to me Sarutobi why did I find Kushina's son way out there especially after hearing from her that he died."
Hearing that comment from him surprised everyone, Hiruzen spoke hastily "Leave the boy alone Mokin, he's not your concern nor is the matter regarding Kushina."
They felt Mokin' Killer Intent shoot up, causing the Jōnin to tense, ready to fight tooth and nail against this Nin, Mokin continued in a cold tone "Didn't you find it weird…weird that Uzushiogakure fell so easily against the onslaught of both Iwa and Kumo, both nations having no idea of Uzu military strength and skill, literally coming to fight us blindly. Are you really that arrogant to believe that Uzu was weak…?" Seeing their puzzled looks he elaborated, "We willingly lost, knowing that we could aid you from the shadows more efficiently and to stop you from separating your own forces in an attempt to protect Uzu and in the process lose the war."
Because it's just about to happen
And you'll be there
"So tell me Hiruzen did you really not find it weird to find a single girl survived and arrived at your gates claiming that she was to be the next vessel, which was the duty Mito requested her. For all intents and purposes I should never have let Kushina come here, to this rotting cesspool!" Mokin shouted enraged, and began undoing his mask "So tell me Hiruzen didn't you find it weird that a Shinobi mercenary such as I fought and defeated your precious Yondaime, held him at sword point yet did not take his life as I had promised, even more so that I wished for that battle to remain secret."
He unclipped his mask, a seal glowed on his arm bracer and it vanished into it, for the first time in years even with their alliance, Hiruzen was going to see Mokin's face, the face of the frightening Makaze the one who fought through the end phase of the Second Shinobi war and the entirety of the Third war, the one who caused Hanzō to retreat where the Sannin failed, his identity a long sought secret for the leaders who wanted to contract him for missions and others for the simple reason of eliminating him for grief caused.
You must have known the storm was coming
When the clouds appeared
His eyes turned violet color and his facial features showed him to be at least 50 years old, a well trimmed beard the red slowly graying in it; the icicle snake hissed violently its head leveling with Mokin's as he placed a placating hand on it, it's glowing black eyes flickering blue, Mokin saw their expressions shock, disbelief, even rage from Danzō that their Yondaime lost that they faced someone who defeated the Kiiroi Senkō in single combat something many thought impossible, but regardless it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's expressions that interested him it looked like he was trying to put together a puzzle and get over some shock probably from his appearance "Hiruzen tell me why in heaven's name would I kill my own daughter's fiancé."
Gasps all around especially from the now pale faced Hiruzen and two Sannin, Jiraiya spoke in shock "Then that would mean…"
"That Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze…! Is my grandson and you Hiruzen took him away from his family." As he stressed the Namikaze in Naruto's name, these events were actually being projected and recorded across the village, calls of shock, outrage rang out across the Leaf villagers, "Yes Namikaze you brainless pieces of shit! You do not deserve Minato's sacrifice, can't you see that the boy's almost a miniature Yondaime."
May as well let the rain come down
He continued, his chakra and Killer Intent growing in his rage all directed at Hiruzen Sarutobi "Do you know what it's like to watch your child wither away…Kushina never healed from the loss…a gaping hole in her chest, blaming herself for losing strength…for not protecting him…I watched her day and night as she drowned herself in sorrow…as she killed herself from the inside…the fake smiles…the tears…the anguish. ALL BECAUSE OF YOU…ALL BECAUSE YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM HER…FROM HIS FAMILY…!"
And join the circus of people
While you're there
His serpentine technique flailed about as it was overloaded with pure chakra its maw shooting a beam of pure chakra into the sky causing it to rain as it shattered like glass, as his technique fell around him he stood breathing heavily from multitude of emotions he tried to control, Sasuke and the Genin still wide eyed shocked not only at the revelation that Naruto is the son of Konoha's greatest Hero and they banished him and the fact that this powerful Nin before them was Naruto's grandfather, Sasuke knew instantly from the beginning of this man's arrival that his brother couldn't hold a candle to him, Naruto's grandfather's speed and power were a step above Itachi's and he doubted if Itachi could defeat a seasoned Samurai group and take on the Clan heads without a scratch, Sasuke noticed a shadow move behind the man weapon raised, "Look out!"
The sound of blade piercing flesh resounded across the village, a Root Nin who avoided the serpentine technique held his sword poised to strike through Mokin's skull but couldn't the reason for this…Fuyutsuki ('Winter Moon') Mokin's own blade held in a reverse grip pierced through the Root Shinobi's skull, Mokin twisted the sword and pulled causing the Nin's head to rip off in a sickening pop, he swung his blade causing the still impaled head to be thrown forward speeding past Danzō's own head only get a screeching black skull speed past him colliding with the Nin's head causing it implode in a poison green explosion Danzō now sweating turned back to Mokin, whose eyes changed back to their forest green, Slit pupils as he glared at him arm stretched outwards, "Meiton • Shi Koiru [Dark Style • Death Coil], I'm sure you remember that technique don't you Danzō, keep your little dolls in line or watch me break them starting with you." He sneered at the bandaged man, "And don't think your precious arm will have any effect on me!" 'Nor will your bastard eye!'
Mokin began walking towards the old Sandaime, blood dripping from his blade as he neared, Tsunade and Jiraiya stood before their sensei, "I cannot allow you to harm him Mokin however justified you may be. Stop or I'll be forced to hold you in contempt…"
"Contempt…? I hold myself in contempt why should you be any different. As far as I know you two are as guilty as him, I'll attend to you after I had a word with Sarutobi here." Mokin undeterred by her warning kept walking, Tsunade having no option nodded her head and her Jōnin sprung into action albeit with a heavy heart.
} 1:45 {
The high pitched sound of chirping birds filled the air, the crackling of electricity telltale sign of Kakashi Hatake's original jutsu, "Raikiri [Lightning Blade]" Or it's more powerful successor, Kakashi charged forward, he doesn't want to fight but Mokin had to be stopped before he did something he might regret, "I'm sorry."
Was all Kakashi spoke when he neared a foot's distance from Mokin's left side but Mokin pointed a finger and retorted "I'm not! Meiton • Shō [Dark Style • Thrust]."
} 1:50 {
Kakashi froze, his hand still encased in lightning frozen an inches from Mokin, the leaf Shinobi wondered as to why or what stopped Kakashi…then they felt it… a wave of dark colored chakra surrounded Kakashi's frame pushing him away as he tried to move forward, they could see that Kakashi's Raikiri was being pushed back by the dark chakra, soon Kakashi was thrown back violently, crashing against the railings.
The Genin listened to the music pick up and as it did, Mokin seemed to as well as he stabbed his sword into the ground and dodged a strike from Anko Mitarashi, 'Anko Mitarashi, Orochimaru's former apprentice and first experiment with the curse seal, let's see if I can't do something about that.'
She swung a kunai only for Mokin to step inside her stance and knee her in the gut, his left hand moving under her arm and pushing her neck to reveal the curse mark, Mokin's right hand covered in chakra began forming the shape of a scorpion tail, 'Hokuto Shinken • Zan'ei Katsu Ken [North Star Divine Fist • Remnant Scorpion Fist]', he slammedthe stinger into the curse mark causing her to open her mouth in a silent scream of pure agony…she went limp as he extricated the stinger, though he quickly spun around her his left hand holding her by her trench coat he threw her across the roof directly at Kurenai Yūhi who was about unleash her most powerful Genjutsu on him only to have Anko crash into her causing the air to be pushed out of her lungs as she collapsed a few feet away from them.
Something is changing
Bruising and aching
Asuma charged fully intent of stopping Mokin from hurting his father and payback for hurting his friends, quickly swinging his trench knives which Mokin dodged by grabbing Asuma's left hand twisting it and pulling him, causing him to lose balance and allowing Mokin to place a foot on Asuma's chest and stomp him, literally, into the ground with enough force to overturn the ground and cause Asuma to cough up blood as he felt a few ribs crack. He raised his foot again as if to finish the job only for Mokin to dodge an incoming kick from Gai Maito, Taijutsu expert of the leaf, he now faced Mokin with his arms crossed over his chest "Seimon! Kai! [Gate of Life! Open!]"
And I'm trying to find out what it is…
As the chakra released from the gate flared around Gai and skin turn red with the increase in blood flow, they witnessed something they have never seen before, Mokin held on to the still crossed arms of Gai something Kakashi thought would be foolhardy for the increased flow of chakra from the third gate release, the chakra itself acts as a shield causing immense pain for any who tries to close the gap at that point but Mokin here held on unscathed…Gai was hunched over with a knee in his gut causing him to release his technique, Gai looked at Mokin's expression as he held his palm parallel to Gai' face a ball of blue chakra forming in the centre, "Don't worry Gai Maito, I won't kill you…just hurt you Hokuto Shinken • Tenshō Honretsu [North Star Divine Fist • Heaven's Command Charge]."
When I fix her, she's breaking
Reason keeps escaping me
A blast of blue chakra engulfed Gai' head, as it reduced the Jōnin let out a breath of relief as Gai fell forward that he still had a head on his shoulders, Lee and his teammates were being restrained by their friends. Hayate Gekkō, Genma Shiranui, Yūgao Uzuki and Yamato charged him weapons raised only for Mokin to block their strikes and knock them out using only his sword's scabbard, Mokin's eyes widened a fraction when he recognized the telltale whirling sound of a certain jutsu, fist cocked back he turned around his fist connecting with Jiraiya's Rasengan,
"Rasengan…! (Spiraling Ball…!)"
"Manju Maon Ken! (10,000 Hand Evil Sound Fist!)"
Protecting and burning like a cyst…
A high pitched whistle connected with the whirling causing both Nins to kick up dust due to the connecting jutsu, Jiraiya held his hand trying to put pressure on Mokin's own technique causing the chakra from the Rasengan highlight Mokin's own technique showing a transparent shell of chakra surrounding his fist, Mokin began to push his fist forward causing the whistling to overtake the Rasengan, the resulting backfire of the Rasengan causing Jiraiya to hold his scorched hand and the dust to enshroud them and as it began to clear everyone heard the whirl of Rasengan but they could see it wasn't Jiraiya who had one at hand, Mokin charged and slammed the blue ball of swirling chakra into Jiraiya's chest, who just as shocked as the rest present couldn't even move a muscle in retaliation, Jiraiya was thrown back with enough force to slam him into the Hokage monument if it weren't for Tsunade catching him, he coughed up blood his body wracked with pain.
Mokin sneered "Even weakened your Rasengan is a poor imitation to Minato's, he was able to hold me into a standstill even when I used my Manju Maon Ken against him, he's truly a worthy opponent and a veritable genius." He stepped towards them only for…
"Ninpo • Shuriken Kage Bunshin [Ninja art • Shuriken Shadow Clone]" The old Sarutobi used this jutsu attempting to slow Mokin down, but Mokin had finally had enough and decided it's time to finish up his business here, he held up his palm "Hakkei no Hō [Internal Energy Release]"
I know that I can help you
I just don't fucking want to
And the feeling gets stronger by the day
As if the shuriken moved through water instead of air, they slowed down to a stop inches from Mokin still suspended in mid air as if hanging there by threads, Mokin walked through them pushing them aside like wind chimes, they clattered to the floor after he passed "I would really love to hear your excuses for abandoning him, especially yours Sarutobi."
But before he could answer a green lizard the size of a small cat with wing-like structures over its back, flew onto Mokin's arm, "Ah, I trust that the task is done."
In response the lizard opened its mouth wider than it should releasing a few documents and a large scroll…The Forbidden Scroll…which Mokin immediately sealed away, seeing their looks "What? I think it's fitting that I take the forbidden scroll as part of the payment for what this village has done, this is but a copy."
Danzō looked enraged at Mokin's audacity, "My agents will take that scroll by dusk, and I assure you they will take it along with your head!"
GRRRR-AHHHHRRRRR! The loud roar echoed through the village, to the inhabitants of the village including the Shinobi it was a terrifying sound, at the same time a large explosion occurred in the forest outside of Konoha's walls, Mokin smirked at Danzō, "You mean those agents…" Another roar sounded through the forest, "Unfortunately for you and your agents Danzō, they can never hope to match my summons, I would've thought you'd have learned that from our last encounter years ago."
Say that I'm selfish
But I don't really need this
And I'm just so sick of the chase
"Well answer me Hiruzen!" Mokin asked relishing the looks of fear he got from them, Hiruzen hung his head in shame his hair casting a shadow over his eyes, "You know why."
"Because he's a Jinchūriki…! I thought you were a man who would look above something like that." Mokin sneered at Hiruzen who looked up with pain filled eyes, "That and I wished for him to fulfill his father's dying wish and revive the Namikaze line."
"How dare you…you claim to justify your actions through Minato when this is not what he would've wished for to even suggest the opposite is proof that you don't know anything about the man." Mokin in a swift movement appeared before Hiruzen and struck him across the face and as he looked down on the downed form of the so-called Kami no Shinobi (God of Shinobi) he continued "Were you thinking about your own wishes when your sons were born, the first thing a father wishes for above all else is his child's happiness!"
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
He stomped his foot on Hiruzen's chest causing the man to cough and wheeze, "Say it now! Say now that Minato Namikaze would wish this for his son! That he would want a cesspool of a village to abuse his son and attempt to lynch his son in honor of his memory when they defiled whatever honor or memory of Minato Namikaze when they ignored his wish. That the village he had sacrificed his very family for would drop its so-called values of Camaraderie…" He kicked Hiruzen again, "of Kindness…" He stomped on Hiruzen's hand, "of Family!" He picked up the old Sandaime who had stopped putting up a fight, knowing full well that this was karma catching up to them; Mokin punched the man in the gut, "All to celebrate the banishment of his son…Minato will destroy this village with the very jutsu that won it the war and he'd do it a thousand times over!"
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
"K-Kill me…Kill me and spare the village!" Hiruzen pleaded, Mokin's eye's glowed and raised his left hand causing a seal to glow and his sword detached itself from the ground and sped to his hand. Mokin held the blade ready to pierce through the old man's skull.
Hiruzen closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable but found himself sailing through the air and crash into the railing, Mokin sneered "You won't escape that easily Sarutobi neither will I let this village go unpunished."
Konohamaru ran to his grandfather's side ignoring the Genin and adults warning him, "Jiji! Sarutobi-jiji are you alright."
Too late, you dropped the drawbridge
You let the vampires in
Mokin stared at Konohamaru with a glint in his eyes something Hiruzen noticed, "Konohamaru get away from here! Mokin…Mokin please don't hurt him he's just a boy, I was wrong damn it…I was wrong to not care for Naruto enough…he was like a grandson to me and I failed him…I chose the village over him…so please punish the one responsible…l-let the b-boy go."
"Hiruzen…! I'm willing to spare the village, you and everyone responsible on one condition." Mokin spoke in a low tone; Hiruzen looked at Mokin's cold expression in surprise "Since you spoke that Naruto was like a grandson to you yet you treated him like a leper, I want you to feel the same…I want you to take the life of your grandson!"
Hiruzen looked shocked and horrified at the idea; Mokin spoke in a cold amused voice "What's the matter Hiruzen? It's a simple enough choice…you've done it with Naruto for 13 years of his life someone you claimed to see as a grandson, I'm sure it'll be easier with your actual grandson. So go on Hiruzen one life for the village's safety."
You caused this shit to happen,
And now you want out?
Hiruzen began to hyperventilate, clutching his chest unable to bear the thought of being asked to kill his own grandson, almost slipping unconscious if not for Mokin stabbing his sword through Hiruzen's shoulder and twisting the blade slowly causing Hiruzen to bite his lips to hold back his scream, Mokin chuckled hollowly "Now, Now Hiruzen stay with us! It's not as easy to do with your own flesh and blood is it! This pain you're feeling right now is nothing compared to the torment Naruto endured and don't worry about your grandson's life I'm not going to dishonor my grandson by killing a boy he sees as a little brother…"
Mokin stopped and turned around to see Sasuke Uchiha kneeling, "Please take my life, none of this would've happened if I wasn't so centered on my revenge that I was prepared to throw away everything I had."
"True." Mokin stepped forward his fist clenched his chakra forming around it, he struck Sasuke atop his curse mark "Hokuto Shinken • Zan'ei Katsu Ken [North Star Divine Fist • Remnant Scorpion Fist]"
Too late, you dropped the drawbridge
You let the vampires in
As Sasuke held his shoulder gritting his teeth in an attempt to not scream in agony, Mokin spoke but his tone kind "But if you had not done it then perhaps I wouldn't have been able to meet my grandson in his last moments, I'm not this village who would rather persecute an innocent child than follow their leaders wish and I refuse to dishonor my grandson's memory by killing the few ones he deemed precious."
"The true measure of a Shinobi is not how he lives, but how he dies. Isn't that what you always say Jiraiya, well then tell me what is Naruto's measure." Mokin sneered, gaining looks of shock and disbelief over his proclamation, Naruto's dead.
Hinata fell to her knees sobbing into Neji's arms who was just as shocked as her, Naruto dead it…it seemed inconceivable…the Genin, Shikamaru and the Jōnin who were conscious were speechless. Sasuke blacked out hearing this. Kakashi just stared into the sky from where he laid as he felt himself fall into a bottomless pit.
Jiraiya was just too stunned to speak, "I…He…"
I hope you know now that
It's nobody's fault but yours!
Mokin snarled "The only reason this village is not a smoking crater is because I want my family, my granddaughter to take their pound of flesh from it." Mokin laughed darkly "I do wonder what explanation you'll give to Kari, Kushina and Minato before they annihilate you."
"Minato is dead!" Tsunade spoke sorrowfully, Mokin just continued "According to whom exactly…if Sarutobi recalls the night of the Kyūbi's attack, Minato's body disappeared after sealing the Bijū. Because me and my Nin took it for we knew if we left the body you would destroy it and unknowingly kill him."
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
"Come now, don't look so surprised Sarutobi after all you should have expected this after you yourself survived the Seal. You should have realized the possibility of Minato surviving, I suggest you all pray because he has gotten stronger and he won't be as merciful as I am." Mokin spoke looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's downed form.
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
} 5:00 - Song End {
Kakashi held a dumbstruck gaze as he heard his sensei lived…he lived! But soon whatever joy he felt disappeared as he knew that Minato Namikaze will destroy the very village he was prepared to sacrifice himself and his family for…maybe starting with himself for his incompetence as Naruto's sensei. 'Why did I cow to the Elders threats? I should have trained all three of them equally; this is all…my fault."
He didn't even want to think how he'd face Kushina and began to wonder what kind of answer he could give to Naruto's twin sister Kari, Kakashi knew that this was probably Karma catching up for the shit the village put Naruto through.
Right now he wasn't the only one having these thoughts, all the adults of the village were thinking along the same lines as they paled in horror that their greatest hero would kill them, scorn them because they were short sighted enough to blame a child…his child for the deaths caused by a demon.
} The Warning – Nine Inch Nails {
Music flowed from Mokin again, one song he nearly killed them all Tsunade didn't want to think what he was going to do next, the Fire Daimyō who had issued the banishment on Naruto though not out of fear or even for his own personal profit, his spies and his wife had told him enough of the boy to know that he was not the monster the majority of the village claimed him to be…he was just a lonely boy with a cruel fate, he said it was to train but in reality it was just to get Naruto away from the villagers before they did something they would truly regret, he had actually feared that they might sell him to this Akatsuki group. A fear well founded as his spies actually intercepted a few messages.
Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
"What do you want Mokin? Ask anything, demand anything I will not dissuade you nor will I stand in your way…I want to make up for the mistake I did." The Fire Daimyō spoke with fierce determination in an attempt to right the mistake he had a hand in.
"You will not punish the village in any way, Daimyō-dono." Mokin said to the surprise of everyone, the Daimyō nodded.
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
"I will give this village the same amount of time given to Naruto, 4 years. Then we will decide its fate."
"Will you destroy the village, Mokin-dono?" the Daimyō questioned, Mokin held a thoughtful expression.
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
"No, at least I won't be deciding this place's fate. I leave that decision to my Granddaughter Kari, fitting seeing as she's Naruto's twin and would've been the closest to him had he lived with his family!" Mokin sneered at the Hiruzen and his two students.
"And how do you propose she makes the decision."
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
"Quite easily Daimyō-dono, before my grandson left he promised his friends a spar when he returned. In 4 years time my best Shinobi teams will arrive to challenge your own Konoha 11, it is then that Kari will decide."
"Agreed, Mokin-san…I will also be imposing my own punishme…"
You've become a virus
The keeper of this host
"No…! Forgive me but you will not do anything till after my granddaughter's decision, I will not have my Shinobi fight some impoverished and beaten down group of Shinobi to prove my Grandson's worth and to show you, that I have no fear of the Leaf or your pathetic soldiers, Daimyō-dono." Mokin looked at the as he spoke, his tone sharp.
'Funny isn't it how a song can easily put across my feelings in mere sentences, how accurately it speaks of Konoha's current situation.' Mokin thought with a chuckle.
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
"Clearly Konoha values only hate over it's so called 'Will of Fire' if the life of an innocent child was clearly insignificant in comparison to the entire village. Oh how has Hashirama's vision for his village been destroyed?"
"So much potential" or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
"Oh and in these 4 years I hope that you'll keep a tight leash on your rabid Advisors and Civilian Council, and it's you in charge and not the other way around." Mokin said to Tsunade and then turned to said people "And you fools don't think for a second that you can manipulate or buyoff my granddaughter or my Nin, though you are welcome to try any method against them." Mokin sneered at the Advisors, Civilian Council and Danzō, "I mean any method at your disposal…"
We heard a cry
We've come to intervene
Mokin pointed to the side where a black haired woman laid unconscious, "Tell the young Uchiha that his debt to my grandson has been paid."
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean
"Kari will be neutral in her decision making, if she finds this village is redeemable then I will support her decision. So let's see if this village truly can change in 4 years if it couldn't for 13 years." Mokin turned around walking away, "Note this day for in 4 years time this is when we shall arrive, this is the promise of me Ryōshi Uzumaki, Clan Head of the Uzumaki Clan and Kage of Uzushiogakure."
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away (x6)
"Be prepared." Mokin now Ryōshi spoke looking back, "For we will be."
As he said that a crack began to form over his face, extending over his body soon covering his whole body which shattered into black crystals as Ryōshi left Konoha, silent contemplation for the Leaf Shinobi who knew they had to prepare for a possible war in the future, against the one village whose symbols they wear so proudly.
} 3:37 - Song End {
.
.
Some distance away from Konoha, specifically The Valley of the End black crystalline particles coalesced together into a humanoid form, the figure walked its body made of flesh instead of some crystal. Ryōshi Uzumaki strode angrily to the edge just above Hashirama Senju's giant statue, he snarled, "I'm this close to destroy what you worked so hard to build Hashirama! Right now I wonder if your hard work and ideals were worth anything." He paused, catching his breath "You can thank the oath you made with my father, years of friendship between our clans and my grandson Naruto's own albeit small affection for the village for it not being a ghost town riddled with the torn carcasses of its citizens! Even now I doubt my Summons would be pleased with my choice or even sparing the village…for now."
Ryōshi spoke again but this time addressing not the inanimate statue of Hashirama Senju but seemingly thin air to his left, "Something wrong? You seem a bit troubled… Kyoji Kagami."
"More Intrigued than troubled." Spoke a smooth voice, the owner of the voice stepped out of a distortion of light, decked in a white suit with a leopard print, purple inner shirt. A handsome and charming man at first glance, aqua-blue eyes, blonde hair. A circular earring hung from his right ear was the only ornament on him, he continued "Intrigued to see how far Konoha had fallen and this Akatsuki group whose agenda for the Jinchūriki have been most disconcerting. They plan to rip the Bijū from their hosts and then use them as a weapon…a weapon to end wars."
"Ha! That is the single most childish and idiotic notion I've ever heard! You cannot have peace born from fear, it breeds anger, hate and most of all greed against the ones who would wield such a weapon…such power and those with power are almost always drawn into confrontations. It is the inevitability of our world…" Ryōshi ended in a solemn tone, he looked back for a moment, "Remind me Kyoji, to thank Danzō for proving my point."
"You noticed…But When?" Kyoji asked genuinely surprised, Ryōshi didn't have his summons beside him; even Shade his familiar was absent and Kyoji knew he'd have seen Ryōshi summon or do something on the way here, Ryōshi smirked and raised a piece of paper which glowed blue as a seal appeared engraving a number on the paper.
Kyoji nodded smiling "Of course, the 'Proximity Seal'…though I think I would've noticed you place it. I know all your tricks, sensei."
Ryōshi laughed "Not all my tricks, Rookie!" he walked over to a nearby boulder and seated himself, "I can't be bothered right now. Kyoji you can take them."
"Sensei" Kyoji spoke acknowledging his Sensei's command and no sooner had he said that he sensed movement all around them, a solid group of 26 Shinobi all in the similar attire consistent with ANBU only their masks were blank, 'Signifying that they were nothing more than blanks slates meant to be whoever or whatever Danzō wants them to be. Pitiable that these men and women are now nothing more than puppets on their master's string…'
Kyoji was brought out of his thoughts by a Ninjatō swinging close to his face, he placed a hand on the man's shoulder as he dodged but was stabbed through the back. The ROOT ANBU who did so twisted the blade but instead of a bloodcurdling cry of pain, the sound of shattering glass was heard. The ANBU watched as mirror fragments fell, surprised that this man had the speed to replace himself with a clone at the last second.
"Forgive me; it was rude of me to ignore you like that. If had known that you'd be so eager I'd have been more focused." Kyoji spoke appearing before Ryōshi between him and the Root Nins.
"Give us the Scroll; it is the property of Konoha. Cooperate and we shall be sure to make your deaths painless." Spoke the Root Nin leading this group.
Kyoji smiled "Well isn't that reassuring." His gaze suddenly colder "Painless…you say…"
Then suddenly the Root Nin who swung his Ninjatō at Kyoji' face was slashed in half diagonally from his shoulder where he was touched to his hip and the Root Nin who stabbed the Mirror Clone collapsed dead as large deep gashes covered his body. Both their masks broke revealing their agonizing expressions on their still forms.
"You will soon learn that 'painless' is something that doesn't apply to my methods." Glinting particles appeared around him as he bore down on the Root Nin's, who soon felt fear…
Review please; shout out to Namikaze09 for inspiring this fic (Did you see the reference I used from your fic)
Naruto's nightmare is a small reference to Jurassic park 3 the airplane scene where Alan has a dream of Raptors.
What do you guys think of my Jutsu.
The songs in the fic was actually part of the inspiration for the scenes
Oh and yes to those who know, it is Kyoji Kagami of Get Backers, will there be more characters appearing from it, yes!
What's up with the recent Manga, first the Madara behind the mask is not Madara, plus the real Madara has Sharingan, Mangekyō, Eternal Mangekyō and now Rinnegan! Plus now we know that the Susanoo can actually make seals for jutsu and he can activate it with the Rinnegan active…fucked up if you ask me. But I guess that's the idea make the villain super powerful and have the slightly weaker hero defeat him against impossible odds.
My guess is that Tobi might actually be a detachment or clone of Madara sort of like Naraku in Inuyasha (or he might be Izuna Uchiha) (I'm leaning more on clone; I mean we do know that Zetsu is meant to be a clone of Hashirama Senju). I mean did you notice how he checked under his collar when he spoke to Kabuto. Now this begs to question if the Sharingan which is the descendant of the older brother's eyes then what powers does the Chakra the younger inherited truly hold.
What a Cliffhanger now its Madara Uchiha, Nidaime Tsuchikage vs. the 5 Kage's.
Ok, tell me who didn't see that coming, Naruto befriending the Kyūbi after all he does have a way with words doesn't he. And the words the Bijū spoke, I'm guessing that the Jūbi will be formed but will be sealed within Naruto.
