Chapter 13: The Eternal War part 2
Somewhere in the eternal war
In the lightest part of the realm, Sasuke Uchiha lay there unconscious on the glowing floor; he was in a middle of training with his Uncle until he was teleported into this strange realm. By the style of his clothes, it was about a year ago before the ROTL was destroyed.
"*groan* Where am I?" said Sasuke as he slowly wakes up
"Oh you're awake, thank god"
Sasuke looks up to see 2 teenagers in strange clothing, one is in a white hood and armour and the other is in a red kimono.
"Who are you?" asked Sasuke
"I'm Ezio Auditore de Firenze" said the hooded figure with an Italian accent; he helped Sasuke up on his feet.
"Inuyasha" said the white haired man with wolf ears, helping Ezio.
"Sasuke Uchiha" said Sasuke "Where are we anyway?"
"You are in the legendary Eternal War…uncle"
Sasuke turns to see Muramasa appear out of nowhere. Ezio and Inuyasha draw out their swords in defence, Sasuke just stood there with a confused look on his face.
"Who are you?" demanded Sasuke
"Oh you don't know?" said Muramasa in a fake shock "Well, you didn't hear the news back then"
"What news?" said Sasuke
"In time, Uncle" said the teenager as he vanishes in the shadows "in time, you'll know. HA HA HA HA"
"You know him?" said Ezio to Sasuke
"No, but it seems he knows me" said Sasuke "He must've come from my future, I can tell the hatred of me in his eyes."
"I get that sometimes" said Inuyasha "Every time they see me, they all shun at me and call me a "Filthy Half-breed" and my mother a "Demon whore" just because she fell in love with a Demon"
"Ah, forbidden love, how romantic" said Ezio "They must've love each other very much to have you"
"They did, this robe woven by the fur of the fire rat was a gift from my father to her" said Inuyasha
"Si, I understand" said Ezio "I have this assassin's uniform when I saw my father executed for a crime he did not commit"
"It seems you 2 had a bad life" said Sasuke
"Hai/Si" said Inuyasha and Ezio "What about you?"
"Well, my clan was massacred by my sister Itomé. I was obsessed of avenging them until the destruction of my village by a great evil"
"What evil is that?" said Ezio
"An Overlord named Naruto Namikaze" said Sasuke "he was my teammate but it appears to be a rouse for destroying Konoha and made us underestimate him"
"That cunning bastard" said Inuyasha "Wait till I get my claws on his scrawny little neck"
"That has to wait, we need to know where we are first" said Ezio
"That teenager said we're in the Eternal war" said Sasuke "You ever heard of it?"
"Not really" said Inuyasha
"I heard stories, but not much" said Ezio
"Well that helped allot" said Sasuke sarcastically "It seems we have to explore this place and ask anyone about this "Eternal War".
"Good Idea" said the Assassin and Hanyou.
So the 3 teenagers leave the area and explore to find answers about the "Eternal War"
Cosmos Temple
Sasuke, Ezio and Inuyasha arrive at the spot where others were sent to this world, the place is beautiful, the ground is like it's flooded but it's not and the shrines are glowing white. 3 groups are having normal conversations while they wait; wait for what is the question in Sasuke's mind.
"Ah, it seems more recruits has arrive" said a certain masked warrior
"K-Kakashi-sensei?" said Sasuke in shook
"You know my name yet I know not yours, how is that possible?" said Kakashi
Sasuke looks at the masked Shinobi and notices that he's wearing an ANBU uniform.
Oh I see... that is when Kakashi sensei was in the ANBU, years ago. 5 years before he became my sensei. Thought Sasuke
"Oh my apologies, the reason that I know you is that you were my sensei. My name is Sasuke Uchiha"
"An Uchiha; Well this is a surprise" said Kakashi "you're the 2nd Uchiha that was summoned by Cosmos, or Kami in our religion, to fight in the Eternal war"
"Eternal war, what is it anyway?" said Sasuke
"The Eternal war is a conflict between 2 gods"
Sasuke turns to see a man in his mid 20s, flowing long black hair tied in a ponytail and a goatee that envies the devil himself. Sasuke gasps as he knows him.
"Uncle Ventus?" said Sasuke
"Uncle...Ah you must be Fugaku's son" said Ventus "it's been a long time since I left Konoha. You do truly resemble Mikoto-chan than my brother. Tell me, how is my brother and sister-in-law?"
Sasuke sighs sadly at his uncle and told him about the Uchiha massacre caused by Itomé and also the destruction of Konoha by Naruto and his Ombré army.
"I see...all but you were slaughtered" said Ventus "If I were back then I would've protected them"
"There is nothing you could do, Uncle" said Sasuke "I heard that 75% of the Clan left Konoha with you and started a new life"
"Yes that is true, the clan agreed to my wisdom of peace that they wanted me to be the leader of the clan. Konoha also loved my wisdom that they once made me an elected candidate of being Hokage. But it seems my goal to become Hokage was destroyed when I murdered my parents to end the feud of my clan."
Ventus then looks at Minato talking to his predecessors.
"But at least someone saw my wisdom became Hokage and used it to protect the village" said Ventus.
"That's true, Minato was a greatest Hokage that Konoha ever had, I would wish you would've made a great Hokage" said Sasuke
"Yeah, well I gotta go. Cosmos has sent us in a group" said Ventus "I'll see you later"
"Yeah, you too Uncle" said Sasuke as he watches his Uncle leave to his group.
Ventus' group is a Reaper named Byakuya Kuchiki and a witch named Cereza, also known as Bayonetta. Sasuke watches him talk to the reaper and witch casually while Kakashi looks at Sasuke.
"So...you're Sasuke Uchiha" said Kakashi "Now I remember you, the last of the Uchiha Clan"
"Unfortunately yes" said Sasuke
"Well at least your obsession of revenge is gone" said Kakashi "Still a surprise to see you here with us, what deeds did you do to persuade the Goddess to summon you here?"
"I...I don't know" said Sasuke
"Well don't worry about it, we'll find out once the Goddess arrives to tell us the purpose of being here" said Kakashi "Anyway, what was I like as your sensei?"
"Lazy, perverted and always reads those novels written by that perv of a Sage" said Sasuke
"*Chuckle* yep, that does sound like me" said Kakashi chuckles under his mask. "And I guess I always make lousy excuses for being late"
"Yep" said Sasuke
Sasuke and Kakashi laughs at this, Sasuke glad to see Kakashi again. After leaving the ROTL and faked his death, he does miss his friends, including his Sensei and Sakura.
Sakura thought Sasuke sadly as he misses the pink haired Kunoichi.
"Welcome, dear souls"
Sasuke, Kakashi and everyone turns to see a bright white light in the middle of everyone. The light dims to reveal a beautiful woman with golden hair and in a white toga.
"Cosmos" said Kakashi
"That's Cosmos?" said Sasuke "She's beautiful"
"Thank you, Sasuke" said Cosmos smiling at the young Uchiha "You are all wondering why I summoned you all here in this place. Then I will tell you, I am losing the war and Chaos is winning, I must not let that happen or the world will seize to exist"
"We are all the last hope of the world" said Ventus
"Precisely, you all were pure of heart and did wonderful deeds" said Cosmos
"But I did nothing" said Sasuke "Why am I here, I don't understand"
"Your concern of your friends was a noble thing, Sasuke" said Cosmos "You were worried that the cursed seal Orochimaru placed upon you would kill your comrades so you tried to take your own life to save them from yourself"
Sasuke then remembers that time, he was about to commit suicide to prevent the cursed seal from taking over.
"That was the noblest thing you have ever done" said Kakashi "it's like want my late teammate told me...
"A ninja who disobey the rules are scum, but those who abandon his comrades are worse than scum" said Sasuke
"Exactly, self-sacrifice is what makes you a hero, Sasuke" said Kakashi "And as your soon-to-be sensei, I'm proud of you"
"Indeed, but how are you alive?" said Ventus
"You stopped me" said Sasuke
(Flashback: year ago)
Sasuke took out a kunai and aims it at his heart, he is about to commit suicide to prevent the cursed seal taking over.
Goodbye, my friends thought Sasuke as he starts to plunge the kunai at his heart.
CLANG
The kunai didn't made contact to his heart as a floating sword stops the kunai.
"Honestly, I understand the situation but killing yourself over a petty thing like nightmares?" said a voice
"Who are you?"
The voice belongs to a cloaked figure; the figure removes his hood to reveal a man in his late 30s with long flowing black hair, onyx eyes and a goatee that resembles the devils.
"Relax, I'm here to help you remove the cursed seal and train you to defeat the Overlord...Nipote (Nephew)" said the man as his eyes turn red with black patterns that resembles a 6 bladed shuriken. "Rest now"
Sasuke collapses on the ground; the man catches him and carries him on his soldier.
"Blood Clone Jutsu"
Poof, goes a replica of Sasuke, the man places the kunai in the clone's hand and stabs the clone in the heart, without it dispelling. Making it like it's a suicide attempt.
Sasuke, forgive me for doing this but you are the one that can end this thought the man as he leaves soon you'll will be reunited with your friends and you special someone.
(Flashback ends)
"...you sealed away the cursed seal on my neck and trained me Kenjutsu and unlocked the Mongeykyo Sharingan without the tragic price of killing my friends or parents"
"Is that possible?" said Kakashi in shock
"It is" said Ventus "Killing your friend is just a short cut of gaining a corrupted Mongeykyo that eats your eyes away, honesty and heroism gains you the Pure Mongeykyo Sharingan that is stronger and doesn't have the side effects. I was the first of gaining it"
"But I thought you gained the corrupted version of the Mongeykyo Sharingan for killing you parents" said Kakashi
"They were sacrifices to end the feud in my clan; many lives were lost in that battle" said Ventus sadly
"But you did what is right" said Cosmos "That is why you are all summoned here to stop this conflict. And to do this, you all each must gather crystals to make this possible. I have put you all in groups:
Sasuke, you will team up with Ezio and Inuyasha; Ventus will team up with Byakuya and Bayonetta. Minato will team up with Sarutobi and the Senju brothers. And Kakashi will team up with Firion, Cecil and Ichigo Kurosaki. Be careful, warriors for this is a dangerous path you take, Chaos has also summoned warriors to kill you without hesitation. Here are images of the foes you'll face"
Cosmos creates images of the warriors of Chaos, everyone were shocked, scared and furious at the images. Kakashi trembles in fear at who's his opponent.
No; not him. Thought Kakashi in fear Anyone but him
He's alive? Thought Ichigo in shock as he saw the image of Aizen
He must be the son of Damonhart thought Ventus observing the image of Naruto I better not underestimate him just because he's a child.
Rodrigo Borgia thought Ezio angrily
Danzo, of all the enemies I've made, I didn't expect you to be one thought Sarutobi
Brother thought Cecil sadly
"Cosmos, we all understand the quest you have given us, but fighting these foes that the Dark God has given us will make thing complicated to focus" said Ventus to the Goddess "I can tell that Ezio has a grudge on his foe"
"Si, he murdered my father and brothers" said Ezio
"We understand this, Ezio but don't forget that revenge is a poison" said Ventus putting his hand on the assassin's shoulder.
Grazie for your wisdom, Ventus" said Ezio "But I have to do this, for my family's honour"
"Capisco (I understand) but at least think about it" said Ventus
"Grazie" said Ezio
"Yes, I'm aware of this, that is why I have chosen you all" said Cosmos "Some might have a grudge against them, but so do they. Think of it as a test, once you past it, you'll find your crystal.
Good luck, warriors of Cosmos...find the crystals and bring peace to the world"
After that, the Goddess Cosmos vanishes in a flash of light. The 4 groups also vanish in a flash of light and appear in random areas of the realm, the Eternal war has begun.
Moon realm
Kakashi's team were teleported in the realm that resembles the moon, they can see the world in starry sky.
"Okay, you know what to do" said Kakashi as he took out a Kunai and threw it on the moon surface "This is our gathering spot, once we found our crystals we'll meet back here"
"Understood" said Ichigo "If anyone wants to hang around with we while I find mine, I won't mind"
"I will, it'll give me time to think" said Kakashi "What about you 2?"
"We'll go on our separate ways" said Cecil "I think mine is near as I know this place"
"Good luck" said Firion as he starts to leave the area "See ya"
Cecil stays behind and watches Kakashi, Ichigo and Firion leave to search for their crystals. Cecil starts searching for his as he climbs up the high platforms and craters.
What is the purpose of these crystals; I hardly got any information about our quest thought Cecil as he is in his dark knight armour.
"Hello, Cecil"
Cecil turns to see Golbez; the paladin took out his sword until the dark knight raise his hand in surrender.
"Wait, brother I only want to talk" said Golbez
""How do I know this is not a trick?" said Cecil, being cautious
"I understand that you are defending yourself from me as I am your enemy, but I'm not here to fight you yet" said Golbez
"Then what's your purpose of being here?" said Cecil
"Just to give you some brotherly advice: doubt yourself and rely on others, and you'll never find the crystal" said Golbez as he starts to leave the area.
"Wait, why are you helping me?" said Cecil confused
"I'm your big brother, it's my duty is it not?" said Golbez before he leaves into the shadows.
Brother thought Cecil
Konoha realm
Minato's team were teleported in the area that resembles Konoha. The 4 Hokage were amazed to see that the area was a perfect copy of the original village.
"Amazing, the gods were amazing beings" said Minato in awe
"Indeed, but we aren't here to sightsee" said Sarutobi
"He's right" said Hashirama "The crystals must be here, we'll split up to make the search quicker"
"Alright, we'll meet at the Hokage Tower" said Minato as he threw his marked kunai at the Tower and gave each his teammates the same kunai "This will teleport you to the tower once you found your crystal. Good luck"
After that, Minato vanishes in a flash of yellow.
"I'll stay here in this part" said Sarutobi
"Understood, good luck Sarutobi" said Hashirama as he vanishes in a swirl of leaves
"I'm pleased that you made Hokage" said Tobirama
"Thank you, Tobirama-sensei" said Sarutobi bowing to his mentor.
Tobirama also leaves to search for his crystal.
"Right, now to search around" said Sarutobi
"And where do you think you're going?"
Sarutobi turns to see Danzo Shimura, his old rival.
"Danzo, so you're my enemy" said Sarutobi
"It appears so" said Danzo "I've dreamt for this moment the day you were made Hokage"
"So this is all about jealousy" said Sarutobi "Danzo, you were always a teme"
"SHUT UP! That title was meant to be mine and you STOLE IT!" shouts Danzo as he pulled out a kunai and charges at Sarutobi.
CLASH
Uchiha Clan District Realm
Ventus's team were teleported in an area that resembles the Uchiha Clan district in Konoha.
"So the Gods have made this as my battlefield" said Ventus, he turns to speak to Byakuya and Bayonetta "I'll stay here and find the crystal, you can go to find yours if you wish"
"Okay" said Bayonetta "Be careful, sweetie"
Bayonetta winks at Ventus before she leaves the area; Ventus tries not to blush as he sees the witch sexily walks away. Byakuya made a little chuckle before he leaves.
"We'll meet here when we finish" said Byakuya as he vanishes instantly.
"Alright, let my quest begin" said Ventus as he starts his search, after 5 minutes of searching he stops and looks at the blank space for the Uchiha district realm "Come out from the shadows, Namikaze I know you're here"
"Well, well aren't you a clever one" said Naruto as he leaves the shadows "How did you know I was here when I left no trace of my charka"
"It's your evil aura I sensed, not your chakra" said Ventus "You reek of it. So, you're my enemy in this war"
"Yes, I am" said Naruto "I never expected to face the infamous Ventus of the Peaceful winds, leader of the rouge Uchiha Clan that fled from Konoha 20 years ago"
"In your timeline, that maybe but I expected that you're also fighting against my future Nipote (nephew)" said Ventus "Tell me; what's your connection with him?"
"He and I were old rivals back in the academy" said Naruto "But I never accepted him as my equal; speaking of Sasuke, where is he?"
"I'm here"
Naruto turns to see the young Uchiha, his eyes blazing with the Sharingan. Naruto sneers angrily at the cursed eyes of the Uchiha as he makes his stomach turn.
"You do know that I HATE that dojutsu" said Naruto
"Oh yeah, what about Itomé?" said Sasuke
"She's an exception; she only shows it to my enemies, like you" said Naruto as he draws out his sword.
Then suddenly Damonhart and Muramasa appear between the Uchihas and the Maelstrom Overlord.
"Lord Naruto, allow me to fight these Uchiha" said Muramasa "I believe you and Lord Damonhart has some important business to do"
"That's right, we need to stop Danzo from killing Oji-san and your plans to bear fruit" said Damonhart
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that" said Naruto as he sheathes his sword and looks at Sasuke "You're lucky that I have some business to do, Sasuke"
Naruto then slowly diminishes into the shadows.
"Farewell, Sasuke. The next time we meet, will be your death" said Naruto as he and Damonhart vanishes.
Muramasa smirks evilly at Sasuke Uchiha as he slowly draws out his sword.
"I've been waiting 10 years for this" said Muramasa
"I don't understand, I didn't do anything to you" said Sasuke, trying to convince the mysterious teenager
"Yet" said Muramasa "But I rather not let you know and do it"
Muramasa vanishes within a blink of an eye, Sasuke gasps at the disappearance until
CLANG
Thanks to his Sharingan, he detected Muramasa behind him and blocked his fatal move, Muramasa's eyes changed as well; they are now dark blue with the black patterns that resembles 3 kunai.
"A blue Sharingan" said Sasuke and Ventus in shock
"Correct, I'm the wielder of the Sharingan but my Sharingan is a bit different than yours" said Muramasa as disappears again.
CLANG
Sasuke blocks another attack from Muramasa who appeared in front of him, and then Muramasa disappears again and again and again
CLANG
CLANG
CLANG
Sasuke keeps blocking Muramasa's fast attacks with his sword. Muramasa chuckle like a maniac as he slams his sword at his enemy like a berserker, Sasuke starts to struggle to deflect the strange teenager's wild strikes.
Then suddenly Muramasa jumps away as 9 Katanas fly towards him, the katanas are floating around, Muramasa smirks as he knows why the swords are flying.
"It seems that you are finally using it, Great-Uncle Ventus" said Muramasa as he stares at Ventus with 9 floating swords "the Kyuu Jiki Kenjutsu, it's a favourite jutsu of yours"
"How did you know of it?" said Ventus
"I have my ways of knowing my enemies" said Muramasa as he reaches out for his hidden kunai pouch and throws a barrage of kunai at the Uchiha. "And how to use it for my advantage"
CLANG CLANG CLANG
CLANG CLANG CLANG
CLANG
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
CLANG!
The 9 floating swords deflected all of the Kunai, not missing one.
"Foolish" said Ventus "You're just wasting resources"
"I'm just beginning" said Muramasa as he performs multiple hand signs "Ninja art: Jiki Kunai Jutsu"
"Oh no" said Ventus as he jumps away as the kunai that were deflected raised up and flies back to Muramasa. "You know magnetic manipulation too"
"True, I learned it when you deflected the Kunai" said Muramasa as the kunai are orbiting around him "It's amazing you can learn from the Sharingan"
This is bad, we are dealing with an unknown enemy here thought Ventus If I'm correcting this, he must be an Uchiha like me and Sasuke. But his Sharingan is different, it's blue and the patterns are different, even for a Mongeykyo Sharingan. If we aren't careful, he might use those jutsus against us.
"Huh, I think I'll just end this" said Muramasa as he slowly closes his eyes "Mogeykyo Sharingan: Tsukiyomi"
No mentally screams Ventus and Sasuke before they were caught in Muramasa's Tsukiyomi
Kakashi and Ichigo
Kakashi and the reaper Ichigo left the paladin and the weapons master to search for their crystals. Ichigo notices the terror in Kakashi's eyes and the shivering in his arms.
"You knew him, didn't you" said Ichigo "This Damonhart; is he that terrifying?"
"You have no idea" said Kakashi "Damonhart Namikaze, AKA the Shadow demon of the bloody leaf is...or was a living nightmare of the shinobi nations. Many Konoha ninja were killed by him and he captured many settlements that were under Konoha's protection. About a quarter of the Land of fire was distinguished by that darkness"
"You said that he "Was" the living nightmare of the Shinobi Nations, what do you mean by that?" said Ichigo
"Because our leader, Minato Namikaze the Yondaime Hokage killed him" said Kakashi as a tear seeps out from his lone eye. "With the cost of his life"
Konoha realm: Hokage tower roof
CLASH
Sarutobi and Danzo clashes weapons against each other, Sarutobi wields his staff and Danzo wields his sword. Danzo glares at the Hokage with his lone eye in anger, Sarutobi "stole" him the moment of being Hokage. He jumps back as he performs hand signs while Sarutobi does the same.
"Fire Style: Great fire jutsu" said Danzo as he inhales and shoots out large flames from his mouth.
However, Sarutobi finished his hand signs and slams his palms on the floor.
"Earth style: Mud wall Jutsu" said Sarutobi as a 50ft wall rises from the floor, shielding him from the flames.
Sarutobi jumps on the mud wall and runs up to the top, as he reached the top he sees Danzo running up with his sword unsheathed, ready to kill him. Sarutobi slams his staff onto the wall to create cracks. The mud wall slowly creates deeper cracks until it shatters into large pieces falling to the ground.
Danzo dodges the falling debris and slices through them with his sword as he continues running towards the Hokage, he jumps on the falling debris as the path became unreachable. Sarutobi performs Fireball Jutsus at the traitorous Ninja but he unfortunately missed as Danzo was incredibly fast, he performed the jutsu again and again but no hit. Danzo dashes for the kill, Sarutobi panicked as Danzo is getting faster.
Shit, I can't evade him at this distance panicked Sarutobi as Danzo prepares for the kill.
SLASH
Blood flies in the air, including an arm holding a sword.
"GAAH!"
A scream of pain echoes in the air, that scream belongs to Danzo; his arm was sliced off by Damonhart and his left eye pierced by a Kunai thrown by Naruto. Sarutobi widened his eyes in shook to see 2 figures in front of him.
"What's this?" said Sarutobi in surprise to see Naruto and Damonhart, the 2 infamous Overlords save his life. In Naruto's hand is his sword De la Zorro stained in blood, he was the one that decapitated Danzo.
"You...YOU traitorous DOGS!" shouts Danzo in pain and anger as he clutches his wound "Why did you do this?"
"It's personal" said Naruto and Damonhart coldly at Danzo before Damonhart punches Danzo in the face, causing him to fly to the ground and create a large crater.
"GRR, you'll pay for this" said Danzo as he vanishes in the shadows; his battle with Sarutobi was over.
"Good riddance" said Naruto as he sheathes De la Zorro and turns to the Sandaime Hokage with a smile on his face "Are you alright?"
"W-why, why did you save me and attack Danzo" said Sarutobi "Aren't I your enemy?"
"Oji-san, the reason I saved you is that I respected you the most" said Naruto "In my timeline, you were the few that cared about me and never judged me"
"That goes the same to me" said Damonhart "It will break our hearts to see you hurt or even dreaming of attacking you"
"I see" said Sarutobi as he smiles at the Overlords, despite their dark reputation and barbarism, he was glad that he had them as his friends...or soon to be in his future "I appreciate the rescue from Danzo, and from the looks on your faces that you have a grudge against him"
"We do" said both Naruto and Damonhart
"I see now, well I hope he learned his lesson of trying to attack me again" said Sarutobi "enemy or not, he is still a Konoha ninja and that will act as a punishment for assaulting a Hokage"
Sarutobi reaches out his hand, Naruto and Damonhart smiles at the Hokage and shook his hand, even though they are on opposite sides on the Eternal war, they are still good friends no matter what. Then suddenly the crystal that Sarutobi was searching for appeared in his hand, Naruto and Damonhart smiles at this and begins to leave.
"Well done, Oji-san you found your crystal" said Naruto as he and Damonhart leaves in the shadows "Your duty of this war is drawing near, I advise that you wait for the others to succeed, I'm sure the Goddess will tell you the true purpose of the Crystal"
"You know what it is?" said Sarutobi in surprise
"Maybe?" said Naruto's voice "But that will be telling, sayonara Oji-san and thank you for the wonderful times we had in Konoha. I'll cherish it forever"
I'll be seeing you in the future, lad thought Sarutobi I never got their names, oh well I'll know eventually once I see them again...and I'm not that old.
And so Sarutobi founded his crystal and leaves to the meeting place where the other Hokage discussed. His quest ends, thanks with the help from the 2 Overlord who respected him mostly.
Shinobi Battlefield Realm
Kakashi is now alone, the reaper Ichigo has left his side to search for his crystal. Kakashi stares at the realm he is now in.
"I know this place" said Kakashi to himself
The realm is the replica of the battlefield where the 3rd Shinobi war was held. 1000s died in that war, the conflict between Konoha and Iwa. However there was another enemy fighting in that war, that enemy was none other than the "Shadow Demon of the Bloody Leaf" Damonhart Namikaze. This brought nightmarish memories to the silver haired ANBU.
(Flashback: 3rd Shinobi war)
10 year old Kakashi stood there in fear as the thick black haze appeared out of nowhere and hears the screams of Konoha and Iwa ninja being slaughtered...no, massacred by Damonhart. He saw nothing but glowing red eyes in the shadows of the haze. The haze fades away, leaving Kakashi alone with what's left of the unfortunate ninjas that were killed by Damonhart. Then suddenly a Kunai flew towards Kakashi and hit him in his left eye, Kakashi screams as he fell onto the blood stained ground. All went black and the last thing he heard was sadistic laughter from the "Shadow Demon of the Bloody Leaf".
(Flashback ends)
"Ah, it does bring back memories"
Kakashi turns to see what gave him nightmares of that terrible war, the 5th Overlord Damonhart Namikaze.
"Y-You" said Kakashi in fear, he feared Damonhart for the carnage he caused in the Shinobi war. The Konoha and Iwa ninjas nicknamed him the "Shadow Demon of the Bloody Leaf" because of his killing skills, both Konoha and Iwa ninja from Genin to Jonin never stood a chance against him. Kakashi was one of the victims that survived the carnage but it cost him his eye and the loss of his good friends Obito and Rin, he was left alive alone, traumatized and scared.
Damonhart smirks evilly at the young ANBU as he can sense his fear of him.
"Oh my Kakashi, you've grown" said Damonhart "It's been a while since we fought in that war"
"You were the reason the war ended" said Kakashi "But I don't understand; why get involved at our quarrel between Iwa?"
"I was bored; besides I can't let you and those blockhead Iwa ninjas have all the fun" said Damonhart "Being in my tower, resting my ass on my cosy throne is so boring for me, so I decided to take a little walk and kill some Konoha and Iwa ninjas"
"Some...SOME; you slaughtered THOUSANDS" shouts Kakashi angrily "including Obito and Rin"
"Yeah, I do tend to remember those I killed" said Damonhart "And you know what I am like with Uchihas. It's the eyes you see; they abused and rely on those eyes so much that it sickens me. But that Uchiha was different. He only used it to defend you while that Inuzuka girl tried to remove the kunai I embedded on your left eye.
Now that's what I call teamwork; I remembered his final words before he removed his left eye to replace yours and charges at me with the intent to kill "Those who obey the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are lower than scum" I gave him a noble death of slitting his throat and piercing his heart. As for that Inuzuka girl, Rin was it? Anyway I gave her the death that symbolizes her clan, that right I summoned the wolves after her, I can still hear her screaming your name while she was being torn to shreds by the beast she loves "Kakashi, help me-AGGHHHH!" HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
"SHUT UP!" shouts Kakashi in anger as he sheathes his tanto and attempts to slash Damonhart on the chest but only scratched the flak jacket.
"Oh, I see you gained some courage, well done" said Damonhart as he did a little applause to the ANBU "Could it be the mentioning of your friend's suffering...
Damonhart reaches out and pulls off Kakashi's Hitai-ate covering his left eye.
"...or the accursed Sharingan implanted in your left eye?"
Kakashi angrily snatches his Hitai-ate from Damonhart's hand
"Stay out of it, it was you that got me this and Obito died giving it to me" said Kakashi as he points at his Sharingan before he ties his Hitai-ate back on his forehead but leaving the Sharingan exposed.
"That's right, accuse and blame me" said Just like Father did, glad I killed the bastard"
Damonhart spat at the word "Father" in his sentence as he hated him for the terrible life he had before he became the Overlord.
"But no matter, the past his the past" said Damonhart as he unsheathes his sword and points it at Kakashi "You should be worrying about your future, Kakashi...because you will die here along with your dear comrades"
"That's not gonna happen" said Kakashi clutching his tanto in his hand "I'll face my fears and defeat you"
"Oh really, let's see if you can; Kakashi Hatake" said Damonhart as he presents a glowing object in his hand.
"The crystal" said Kakashi in surprise
"Correct, this is the Crystal you were looking for" said Damonhart "If you want it, then take from me...if you can"
Kakashi then charges at the 5th Overlord to claim the crystal, his Sharingan flares, fuelled with anger. Damonhart smirks at his opponent and prepares for battle.
"Have at thee" said Damonhart
CLANG
Ezio and Inuyasha
The Assassin and the Inu Hanyo are continuing with their quest of finding their crystals. Inuyasha was curious about the young assassin and decides to start the conversation.
"So...what's your story" said Inuyasha "I never heard of you before"
"That is because were from different nations and timelines" said Ezio "I was born in Firenze at the year 1459. My father was the most respectful man, a banker and assassin in secret; I just discovered the truth when I and my mother and sister left Firenze and stayed at Monteriggoni. My Uncle Mario taught me the ways of the Assassin. I travelled nearly all of Italy to assassinate the Templers that were responsible of my father and brothers' deaths.
I was nearly close of assassinating that bastard Borgia until he vanishes from me, it took me 10 years of tracking down the Templers and I'm close to killing the Spaniard. But enough about me, what's your story?"
"Nothing much to say; I never knew my father but my mother said that he was a good man, despite of him being a demon. I fell in love once with a priestess named Kikyo until we were deceived by an Evil Hanyo named Naraku. Naraku planned of stealing an ancient artefact called the Shikon Jewel, rumoured to contain the souls of 3 hell kings and a priestess that fought them, hence the name Shikon, meaning "4 souls".
I once tried to steal it so I could be a full-fledged demon until I was "killed" by the woman I loved and put to a sleep for 50 years until I was awoken by a human at first I thought was Kikyo but it was not her, her name was Kagome Higarashi. Believed to be from 500 year in the future that she entered in a well called the "Bone-eaters well". We got along at first until we started to fall in love; we got married and moved into the Shinobi nations, in the Land of Demons. It was called that because it's a holy place where the priests and priestesses imprison demons there."
"And what happened to her?" said Ezio
"My brother Sesshomaru murdered her; she refused to reveal my whereabouts" said Inuyasha "He still wanted to kill me and claim the Tetsusaiga, a sword forged from the fang of my fathers, the Tetsusaiga was a great weapon and savoir. Without it, I would've be nothing but a bloodthirsty monster with no guilty conscience"
"Then keep by your side" said Ezio as he placed his hand on the Hanyo's shoulder "You and I are alike, we too lost our precious ones by our enemy. Let's continues with our quest and find these crystals that the goddess Cosmos asked for"
"Alright" as Inuyasha smiling at the assassin
And so the Inu Hanyo and the Assassin continues their adventure to search for their crystals to end the Eternal war for good.
Kakashi vs Damonhart
CLANG
Damonhart and Kakashi clashes blades against each other, Kakashi abandoned his fear of the Overlord and glares at him. Damonhart smirks evilly at Kakashi as he uses all his strength against him.
"Heh, how did you get to be an ANBU with weak attack like that" taunt Damonhart
"I'm not falling for your deception" said Kakashi as he vanishes to strike from behind but.
CLANG
"Neither shall I" said Damonhart as he blocked Kakashi's sneak attack. He jumps back while he performs hand signs "Dark Haze Jutsu"
No thought Kakashi as the black Haze appears, déjà vu struck the ANBU as he remembers that Jutsu in the shinobi war, the same one that caused thousand lives to die by the infamous Shadow Demon of the Blood Leaf.
"I hope you remember this jutsu, Kakashi" said Damonhart's voice in the haze "It's the same Jutsu that made me infamous and plus my personal favourite"
Kakashi poses in a defensive stance, looking around to see where wills his opponent will strike. Dark Haze Jutsu is like Hidden Mist Jutsu, it affects the visual senses and Dojutsus like the Sharingan. Damonhart use it to his advantage, Kakashi is in serious trouble.
"Ha ha ha, terrifying, isn't it?" said Damonhart "Unaware where I strike first, shall I attack from behind..."
This caused Kakashi to swiftly turn, again and again to defend his back.
"...The sides..."
Kakashi looks left and right, the darkness of the haze is making it difficult to see.
"...above..."
Kakashi looks up.
"...or..."
Then suddenly the ground rumbles and brown minions shots out to strike at Kakashi.
SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH
Kakashi slices them into little pieces, good thing his other senses are good in a dangerous situation.
"Impressive, Kakashi you survived that those didn't" said Damonhart
"So you use these...whatever they are to kill for you, sounds cowardly to me" said Kakashi
"Watch where you preach boy, it'll get you in trouble" said Damonhart
"Yeah, and you're in it" said Kakashi as he performs hand signs "Wind style: Great devastation"
A violent gust of wind blows in a perfect 360 degrees, the force of the wind was so great that it blew away the haze.
"Impossible, how did you learn that Jutsu?" said Damonhart
"Perhaps you didn't know what my enemies call me in battle" said Kakashi as he now can see Damonhart "They call me "Kakashi the copy-nin" thanks to the Sharingan, I now have the knowledge of 1000s of jutsus; but let me show you a few I have originally learned. Summoning Jutsu"
As Kakashi slams his palm on the ground, a pack of dogs jump out from the ground and restrains Damonhart. Damonhart tries to free himself but it remains futile.
"It's hopeless, Damonhart" said Kakashi as he performs more hand signs, his hand is now surrounded by blue lightning "This took me months to master, and in my timeline I wanted you to be the first to die in it, now I got that chance."
Kakashi charges at the now trapped Damonhart, as the copynin got close to him; he plunges his hand into his heart and yelled out.
"Raikiri!"
BUZZZT
Kakashi made impact to the target, as he looked up he saw that it was not Damonhart but a group of minions badly imposing as Damonhart.
"*whistle* that was a close one, it I didn't used substitution and my Secret Genjutsu, you would've made serious damage on me" said Damonhart has his hands are full of bite marks from the dog summons. He dropped on one knee and clutches his side. He evaded a fatal blow but got hit by the Raikiri during his Substitution and Secret Genjutsu "Heh, you bested me kid. Here take the crystal, you earned it"
Damonhart throws the crystal to Kakashi, he caught successfully.
"Of all this fighting over something small" said Kakashi as he looks at the crystal until he sees Damonhart leave "Hey, where are you going?"
"What do you think? You wounded me so I'm going to heal up" said Damonhart
"Our battle is not over" said Kakashi as he runs towards the wounded Overlord
"Stop and think about it, kid" said Damonhart halting Kakashi "You are here to gather the crystal, you did that. Continuing this fight is meaningless now; and I know that you don't need a reason to fight but it'll be boring if we fight in our weakened condition. You haven't mastered that jutsu yet and since you're not of Uchiha blood, that blasted Sharingan is draining your energy"
Damonhart then slowly vanishes in the shadows; his evil smirk appears on his face causes the victor to shiver in fear.
"You did well, what I expect from a student of my brother" said Damonhart before he completely vanishes.
Kakashi sighs at this and leaves the realm, he feels uncomfortable in it and his quest is over.
Ventus and Sasuke vs Muramasa
Tsukiyomi
The 2 Uchihas are now in the gaze of Muramasa's Tsukiyomi, the infamous genjutsu that the Uchihas use with their Mongeykyo Sharingan. But this Tsukiyomi is different from the others, instead of the red and black texture, its dark blue and more terrifying. Sasuke tries to move but found out he can't, he is bound in chains and so is his Uncle.
"Welcome to the Tsukiyomi, I trust that you both experienced it?" said Muramasa "Huh, ask a stupid question, of course you experienced this before, but this Tsukiyomi as a class on its own"
After the mysterious teenager finishes, the Tsukiyomi realm changes into a replica of the Uchiha Compound but this time it reviews the Uchiha feud, families fighting each other over who will be the patriarch of the clan: Fugaku or Ventus. Ventus widened his eyes at this as he remembers that memory; he prevented this by killing his parents and was exiled for it, along with 75% of the Uchihas that believed in his wisdom.
"No, stop this" said Ventus as he tries to prevent it but can't as he is bound in chains from his wrists to his ankles. The Chains then lifts up, hanging Ventus like a marionette, Muramasa appears in front of Ventus with a smirk as he draws his sword and plunges it in his side. Ventus screams in pain, despite his experiences of pain, he hold this even worse, like the blade is scorching hot and freezing at the same time. "What is this?"
"This is my version of the Tsukiyomi" said Muramasa as he plunges more swords "It's 10 times worst than the one you Uchihas have"
"But this makes you an Uchiha as the Tsukiyomi is from the Sharingan" said Ventus
Muramasa punches Ventus in the jaw; he glares in anger at his opponent.
"Don't compare me to THAT clan ever again" said Muramasa as he leaves but creates clones to torture Ventus. Muramasa snaps his fingers and the chains that bound Sasuke rises up, leaving Sasuke dangling like a marionette "Now, since the Tsukiyomi has a time limit of 72 hours, my one has 7200 hour or 30 days. It'll make a man go completely insane; trust me, I know"
"What do you...AGHHH...what do you mean?" said Ventus wincing at the pain by Muramasa's Tsukiyomi
"Think about it" said Muramasa
Sasuke then understands and gasped in shock
"You used it onto yourself" said Sasuke
"Ooh, give a man a prize" said Muramasa smirking at Sasuke "I did it to surpass the Tsukiyomi and gain resistance to it if I ever encounter one of my so-called kin, 5 years of training there is worth it"
"5 years using the Tsukiyomi?" said Sasuke in shock "But that'll cause blindness"
"To an Uchiha, but you all forget" said Muramasa as he plunges his blade into Sasuke arm, causing him to scream "Don't compare me to that Clan; I am NOT an Uchiha, no matter what if I have the Sharingan"
Muramasa continues to plunge more blades into Sasuke and Ventus, since Muramasa's version of the Tsukiyomi is like the Uchiha's Tsukiyomi, it can govern time but even longer, Muramasa could make it like it's been over 100 years of torture to his enemies, it's quite enough to break or kill by brain death when the mind couldn't stand the huge amount of pain. Ventus tries to resist the pain but it's futile since it's like he's been thrown in the core of the earth, burning and screaming for eternity. It's not the Tsukiyomi the Uchiha are think that they are in...It's hell and Muramasa is the Devil.
I...have to...END THIS! Thought Ventus as his eyes changed to red with a pattern of a 6 pointed shuriken MONGEYKO SHARINGAN!
The Tsukiyomi realm shatters, freeing Sasuke and Ventus from Muramasa's gaze.
"Impossible" said Muramasa in shock as his Jutsu was shattered. He then looks at the Activated Mongeykyo Sharingan in Ventus's eyes. "So your Sharingan dispelled my Tsukiyomi but yours can't affect me"
"I know that" said Ventus "Sasuke, do you know Blind Taijutsu?"
"A little, you trained me it" said Sasuke
"Cover your eyes and uses your other senses" said Ventus as he rips off his sleeve and presents it to Sasuke. "This will be a tough battle, I never saw someone use the Tsukiyomi at a young age. Even though you deny your blood heritage but your mother or father is an Uchiha"
"True, my mother is an Uchiha" said Muramasa "But I go by my father's side than my mother's"
"You despised her, didn't you?" said Sasuke covering his eyes so he couldn't get caught in Muramasa's gaze.
"Wrong; I loved my mother, she despised her clan that she eliminated them" said Muramasa
"Wait, you wouldn't be..."
"You just have to find out for yourself...Uncle" said Muramasa as he spat at the word "Uncle" and charges at the 2 Uchihas "Water Style: Great Tsunami Jutsu"
A huge tidal wave rise up from the ground, the 2 Uchihas dodges the devastation of the wave as it washed away the compound replica.
He used a Jutsu without performing hand signs thought Ventus as he landed on the surface of the water that flooded the compound replica. We need to watch out
"Summoning Jutsu!" said Muramasa as he slams his palm on the surface and a huge splash erupts from the water. The splash finishes and reveals a school of Sharks swimming in the water, some swims up to strike at the Uchihas. Sasuke and Ventus dodge the sharks and dispel them by slicing them. "It'll take more than that, SUMMONING JUTSU!"
Muramasa summons more sharks and summoned a giant crow to ride on; Ventus and Sasuke rushes towards the Giant crow while dodging and killing the shark summons. Sasuke channels his chakra to perform Chidori while Ventus performs Kyuu Jiki Kenjutsu to defend Sasuke from the sharks.
"Okay Sasuke, now's your chance" said Ventus as he controls his swords to form a stairway for the young Uchiha.
Sasuke climbs up the stairway of swords, going towards Muramasa.
"CHIDORI!"
Sasuke plunged the Chidori into Muramasa's chest; causing him to fall off his Crow summons and splashes into the water. The blood seeping out from Muramasa's wound has caught the sharks attention and quickly swan towards him. The 2 Uchihas watched in disgust to see the Sharks devour the body and suck in the blood. The Shark summons leaves to their realm once their Summoner is gone.
"We did it, we defeated him" said Sasuke
Then suddenly laughter echoes the realm as the water rises up to form a human shape, then the water turns into what shocked the 2 Uchihas. Muramasa is still alive; his shirt is torn and has a shallow but bleeding scar on his chest.
"Damn" said Muramasa chuckling "I failed, but no matter. You'll died by my father since I failed to avenge him"
"Your father, who is he?" said Sasuke
"Spoilers" said Muramasa "That would be telling, but you'll know soon enough."
Muramasa then starts to slowly diminish into darkness.
"Wait, I still need to know" said Sasuke
"Oh you will, in about 19 years" said Muramasa "I'll be waiting"
After that, Muramasa the mysterious teenager with the mysterious connection to Sasuke Uchiha has vanished. Sasuke sighs at this as he was curious about his future, he wanted to know that if he defeated Naruto or not. But it's like Muramasa said, he'll know soon. Then suddenly in Sasuke's hand is the crystal he was looking for.
"Well done, Sasuke" said Ventus "You have found your crystal"
"But what about you?" said Sasuke
"Muramasa was never my opponent to start with, it was Naruto's" said Ventus "I'll wait here when he arrives, and I think that if I need to get my crystal, I need to defeat my opponent first to claim it"
"I'll help you" said Sasuke
"No, he'll kill you without hesitation" said Ventus "Muramasa would expect that, don't give him and Naruto that satisfaction. You are still a Genin and Naruto is an Overlord, you are both unequal strengths."
"I understand" said Sasuke as he is about to leave "Thank you for helping me"
"You are family, such as me duty and my desire" said Ventus "Now go, help our friends"
"What about you?" said Sasuke
"I'll stay here, in the language of the lands I now live in: Arrivederci e buona fortuna, Nipoté (Goodbye and good luck, Nephew)" said Ventus
"Yeah, you too" said Sasuke as he vanishes in a flash of light.
I'll meet you soon, Nipote thought Ventus Grow strong, physically and spiritually
Sokyoku Hill Realm
Ichigo arrives at the realm that resembles the Sokyoku hill, the execution grounds where Rukia Kuchiki was about to be executed but stopped by him.
"Hello, Kurosaki"
Ichigo turns to see Byakuya Kuchiki, brother of Rukia Kuchiki and famous Reaper of the Soul Society.
"Oh, hi Captain Kuchiki" said Ichigo
Byakuya raised his brow in curiosity; Ichigo is being formal to the Kuchiki noble?
"Very unusual" said Byakuya "you never address me like that before"
"War changes a man" said Ichigo "Especially when I lost many I swore to protect"
The tragic memories are flooding into the reaper's mind, the mass deaths and destruction of Karakura by the 4th Overlord, just to forge the Royal Key. Byakuya sighs at this as he placed his hand on Ichigo's shoulder.
"You did what you could" said Byakuya "I'm sure your friends will understand"
"Yeah, you're right" said Ichigo
"So, the Ryoka boy and the Aristo are here"
Ichigo and Byakuya turns to see the traitor of the Soul Society, Sosuke Aizen. The 2 reapers glare at the traitor and remembers the appearance he is in; wearing his Hueco Mundo robes when he was Lord of Los Noches, before the 4th Overlord "killed" him and took the fortress in his domain.
"Aizen" growls Ichigo at the traitor of the soul society "You should've stayed dead"
"Yes, you were presumed dead 20 years ago" said Byakuya "How are you still alive?"
"Alliance is a good thing" said Aizen as he paces around the realm, he looks around and smiles at the realm he is now in "It sure does bring back memories, where my plan began...and where you 2 fought against each other"
"We were unaware of your schemes, Captain Kuchiki was just obeying the law and I was saving Rukia"
"My, aren't you noble" said Aizen "Calling Byakuya Kuchiki by his title, why the change of heart since you 2 were like opposite side of a coin?"
"I have nothing to discuss to a traitor like you" said Ichigo
"Heh, HA HA HA HA, It sounds like you are from the Soul Society" laughs Aizen "You are just a human, a human with Reaper powers, a substitute...unless there's something I missed during those 20 years"
"You're right" said Ichigo I'm your successor"
"My what?" said Aizen until Ichigo vanished in a blink of an eye.
CLANG
Aizen's reflexes reacted when Ichigo appeared close to him with Zangetsu drawn out. Aizen widened his eyes in shock as he felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure stronger than ever.
What the...his spiritual pressure is now stronger than before thought Aizen in shock 20 years of my absence must've been good to the Ryoka boy.
Then suddenly Ichigo now dons a white Captain's Haori coat with the Kanji of "5" on the back.
Impossible thought Aizen
"Surprised Aizen?" asked Ichigo "20 years after your "Death", Head Captain Yamamoto personally gave me the duty as Captain of Squad 5, there was a vacancy and they gave me it as a token of my heroism for saving both the soul society and the world of the living from you"
"Well I would say "I'm impressed" but that would be a lie" said Aizen "You didn't prevent the destruction of Karakura, you home."
Ichigo widened his eyes at what Aizen said.
"How did you..."
"How did I know? Like I said before, Alliance is a good thing" said Aizen "But that would wait for another time, we have unfinished business"
"And what business would you have with us, Aizen" asked Byakuya
"Oh, just these" said Aizen as he prevents 2 crystals in each his hand "I know you 2 were searching for these, rather unusual to fight over these tiny shards, but it's not our place to question the gods"
"Cosmos never told us the purpose of gathering the crystals" said Ichigo "But we know that gathering them will end this war"
"Is that what you truly believe?" said Aizen
"It is" said Ichigo
"Then come at me, let me test your faith and rightful place of ending this Eternal War" said Aizen as he pockets the Crystals and draws out Kyoka Suigetsu
"Pierce through the Heavens, ZANGETSU!" said Ichigo
Scatter, Senbonzakura" said Byakuya as his blade scatters into thousand shards that resembles petals from a Sakura tree.
"We will succeed, Aizen" said Ichigo "Because we have faith on our side, Getsuga Tensho!"
A flow of spirit energy shoots out from Zangetsu and flies toward Aizen. However, the reaper traitor swats the attack away only using his bare hand and charges at the 2 Reaper Captains.
"Don't get to confident, Kurosaki because you are 2000 years too to surpass me" said Aizen
Ombré throne room realm
Minato has split up from the other Hokages to search for his crystal; his trail leads him to a realm unknown to him. The air reeks of evil and the environment pollutes in pure darkness. That's right; Minato is in the replica of the throne room of the dark tower.
"Amazing, isn't it?" said an Evil voice that would make any hero shiver in fear "It could be yours if you join us"
I will never join evil" said Minato
"A pity, this would make you the most powerful Hokage of Konoha" said the voice, located at the throne. The 4th Overlord sits on the throne, his glowing eyes glare at the young Hokage.
He looks like my bastard Son, Arashi thought the 4th Overlord with hatred fuelled in his eyes. It sickens me
"Who are you?" said Minato
"I am known by many names, I am the Witch-boy of Nordberg, Demon Lord of Nordberg, Conqueror of the Glorious Empire and Hueco Mundo" said the 4th Overlord "But I am mostly known as the 4th Overlord of Ombré. And I know about you, Minato Namikaze.
"But I never heard of you" said Minato
The 4th Overlord laughs loudly, echoing the room.
"Just what I expected, Arashi did keep it a secret" said the 4th Overlord
"What secret?" said Minato
"The secret of your clan, Minato" said the 4th Overlord as he stood up from his throne "Centuries ago, the Namikaze clan are the most feared clan in the Shino...no, the entire world. That is because they were all powerful Overlords."
"No" gasped Minato
"Yes, your father was supposed to be my heir, but he betrayed me" said the 4th Overlord
"So...am I"
"No, your brother, Damonhart is" said the 4th Overlord "Glad that some of my clan were loyal"
"How long?"
"Pardon" said the 4th Overlord
"How long did he know about the secret?" said Minato
"Well I'm not sure, but during our last conversation...right before he murdered my bastard son and his whore wife"
CLANG!
"ENOUGH" shouts Minato in anger as he clashes blades against the Overlord. He throw his marked Kunai and disappeared and reappeared where the Kunai landed "Whatever reason my father made to keep this foul, dark secret hidden, I'm glad he made it hidden"
Minato took out one of marked Kunai again and throws it towards the 4th Overlord and disappears in a flash of yellow.
CLANG
Minato reappears and clash blades again; he jumps back and poses an offensive stance.
"I'll defeat you and then I'm coming for my brother" said Minato
The 4th Overlord smirks under his helmet at the young Hokage as he raises his gauntlet in the air. A horn-like sound echoes the rooms and a dozen of brown minions rose from the ground.
"Really, well you must prepare yourself for a shock, Minato because..." said the 4th Overlord as he sends his minions to attack Minato "...Evil always finds a way"
Sokyoku Hill Realm
BOOM
The huge flow of spiritual pressure is crushing the rocks into dust as the 2 Reaper captains are crossing swords against the former Reaper in a battle to the death. Byakuya controls his blade shards to cut Aizen to ribbons while Ichigo charges at the traitor.
Aizen smirks at the Orange haired reaper as he also charges to strike.
CLANG
CLANG
CLANG
Ichigo slashes through Aizen but he shatters like glass, then he realises.
Shit thought Ichigo as he reacted and blocked Aizen's sneak attack.
"Nice try, but I fought against many enemies that used Illusions to disorient me" said Ichigo as he begins to strike at the traitor but missed as Aizen Shunpo'ed away.
"I see" said Aizen until he notices a bunch of shards flying towards him; he shunpo'ed away from them while he sees Byakuya just standing there while his blade shards going after Aizen. Senbonzakura, a thousand blades scattered into the wind, cutting everything in its path, I'm surprised that Byakuya now mastered it and controls it by will
BOOM
The shards missed Aizen and crashed into the ground, Aizen charges to strike at Byakuya until he noticed Ichigo charging after him.
"You forgot about me, Aizen" said Ichigo as he placed his hand him his face to summon his hollow mask.
"Oh I haven't" said Aizen as he placed his hand on his face.
Then suddenly his face is covered in a black substance, his chest grows 3 vertical holes and 6 wings that has hollow mask at the end. The black substance hardens to form a black demonic mask similar to Ichigo's. Ichigo and Byakuya widened their eyes to see Aizen transformed into a Visored.
Impossible thought Ichigo
"Ha ha ha ha ha, Hollowfication is truly amazing" said Aizen in his Hollow voice while he flapped his wings "The Hogyoku has given me the power of the hollow, I'm now more powerful than ever"
"Don't get too confident" said Ichigo in his Visored form as he appeared behind Aizen
"Oh I'm not" said Aizen as he draws out his Zanpakuto and shouts "BANKAI!"
The area is flooded in Aizen's increasing spiritual pressure, his Zanpakuto has vanished and an eerie mist appeared around him.
"Saimin mirāju suigetsu (hypnotic mirage water moon)" said Aizen as he named his Bankai "I better you haven't seen my Bankai yet, it creates a mist that surrounds the area, creating mirages of your worst nightmares"
Then suddenly the Sokuyoku Hill changes into the small district of Karakura, Ichigo widened his eyes at this, he sees his sisters Yuzu and Karin, his father Isshin and his school mates being intimidated by a dark figure.
No, it's not possible thought Ichigo as this is the memory of the destruction "How is this possible?"
"ha ha ha ha, Saimin mirāju suigetsu has the ability to read your psyche" said Aizen smirking under his mask "And..."
SLASH
"GAH!" screams Ichigo as he was attacked by Isshin in his reaper form.
"...mirages are real, HA HA HA HA HA HA!" laughs Aizen as he disappears in the mist.
Damn it thought Ichigo as he fends off the images of his family and friends, even though he knows it's just an illusion created by Aizen, he couldn't hurt them as it's too real in his mind. "Father"
"Why didn't you save us, Ichigo?" said Isshin "Thanks to you, all of Karakura were destroyed"
"No, I tried to but our opponent was too strong" said Ichigo
"You have fought many strong foes to save your friends" said Isshin "But you couldn't save us, now you'll pay for your failure"
After that, all of Karakura is armed to the teeth are slowly getting closer to Ichigo.
Come on, Ichigo get a hold of yourself thought Ichigo this is what Aizen wanted, he is toying with you, come on be strong, BE STRONG!
Then suddenly Ichigo's spirit energy bursts out and forms the image of Ichigo's mother, Masaki Kurosaki.
"Mother, is this one of Aizen's illusion's?" said Ichigo
"No, Ichigo I am here by the Goddess" said Masaki as she radiates a bright light that destroys the illusion of Karakura "Ichigo, don't blame yourself for not saving Karakura. You did what you could, no one can save everyone, you need to believe and have faith. Your father, sisters and friends forgave you."
Masaki then hugs her son as her time is at an end.
"Goodbye, my son" said Masaki "we'll meet again"
After that, Masaki and the mirage of Karakura has vanished. Ichigo is free from Aizen's illusions.
You'll pay for that, Aizen thought Ichigo
But Byakuya is having trouble as well, the images of his late grandfather Ginrei Kuchiki appears before him.
Oji-san thought Byakuya in shock
"You disappoint me, Mago" said Ginrei as he charges at Byakuya and plunges his Zanpakuto in his chest "You call yourself a Kuchiki, you are a disgrace to us"
"If it's about marrying Hisana, I'm sorry..." said Byakuya as he clutches on the blade of his late grandfather's zanpakuto and removes it. "But I love her and I won't let the Kuchiki clan laws imprison me ever again"
"You no good brat, what would your parents think?" said Ginrei as he tries to strike until
"Bakudo 61: Rikujōkōrō"
6 bars of light binds Ginrei, leaving Byakuya shocked to see who casted the Kido. It was a woman with long raven hair, a beautiful face and purple eyes with a hint of blue in them.
"H-Hisana-chan" said Byakuya
Hisana Kuchiki, the late wife of Byakuya Kuchiki smiles gently at her husband as she walked past the now restrained Ginrei and kneeled down to place her hand on Byakuya's cheek.
"My love, thank you for taking care of my sister" said Hisana "I knew you would do it, I always did"
"But during the execution, I don't wha..."
"Shh, I understand" said Hisana "It was her choice to make, but I'm glad that she met him. If she didn't then she'll wouldn't be there and become a captain of squad 13. Don't let your family control you, you are the Kuchiki patriarch now, you have full control"
She then gave Byakuya one and to be the last kiss she will give to him before she vanishes in a flash of light.
"Goodye, my love" said Hisana "I'll meet you again"
After that, Hisana is gone, a tear seeps out of Byakuya's eyes as he saw his true love leave her once again. 70 years he mourned of her death but at least he gets to see her again one last time. He sttod up, ignoring the wound his Grandfather gave him, he glares at the imitation of Ginrei Kuchiki, the former Kuchiki Patriarch that trained Byakuya and was the cause of Byakuya's darkness.
"So, what will you do, kill me?" said Ginrei
"No...Because you are already dead" said Byakuya "Ginrei Kuchiki died 100 years ago, you are nothing but a shadow of his image. I will break this shadow, Bankai"
Byakuya dropped his blade and it sank into the ground, like it's made of water. Then suddenly a dozen large blades appear behind him.
"Scatter, Senbozakura Kageyoshi" said Byakuya "This illusion must come to an end...Sosuke Aizen"
Byakuya uses his Bankai to disrupt Aizen's. The imitation of Genrei Kuchiki fades away as the mist fades as well. The area returns to normal, Byakuya now can see Ichigo and then sees Aizen, shocked under his hollow mask.
"How is this possible, My bankai is flawless" said Aizen
"You got too confident, Aizen" said Ichigo as he channels his spiritual energy into his zanpakuto
"We have faith by our side" said Byakuya as he too channels his spiritual energy into his zanpaukto.
"Faith, utter nonsense" said Aizen "What faith can give you"
The 2 reaper captains only said this
"To defeat you"
"GETSUGA TENSHO!"
"Shūkei: Hakuteiken"
BOOM!
To be continued
End of The Eternal War part 2
