Twisted World Chapter 2. The Kage Dreams a Dream That is Darker Than Black.

His eyes burned red with intense hatred, he hated everyone and everything, and as soon as he was done subduing the rest of the world he would "retire" his own shinobi forces, though they had no idea of his intentions they were to petrified of him to do anything about it even if they did.

Shinobi, they had been the reason for everything bad that had ever happened, and not just him to many many people, he hated the whole world, and most of all he hated Sarutobi Hiruzen for making him into one and his intention was to bring about the end of the age of Shinobi by removing them completely from the face of the planet friends and foes alike.

And speaking of foes he was currently involved in a meeting with some of his generals, around the table were some of the most powerful shinobi in the world but some seats were empty, some had even defected from their own villages when they realized that could not win, He cared not that they could be planted in order to supply the rebels with information, as far as he was concerned everyone would die eventually by his hand and he did not care if that was sooner or later his regenerative powers would guarantee that he would live a very long time, how long exactly nobody was sure, but he was sure however long it was would be more then enough, the other 4 major villages had already fallen, how hard could it be to crush the last few insects no matter how powerful their leader was rumored to be, he had more S-Class shinobi than any leader had ever commanded and in war it was always a matter of quantity over quality and a willingness to make hard sacrifices both of which he had in great abundance.

"Kage-Sama, now that our informant has relayed all the relevant details to her Hyuga contact, should we begin preparations to strike" said Hatake Kakashi

Hatake Kakashi was a world renowned shinobi, he first came to the attention of the populace when an incident occurred in which his teammate made a mistake that resulted in the loss of his right eye Kakashi was said to have brutally killed the ninja in retaliation and stole his Sharingan eye as a replacement many years later he killed his other team mate in an incident that has still not be adequately explained.

"Immediately" He said darkly.

"i wonder how many pretty girls I can capture" said Jiraiya with a perverted giggle.

Jiraiya had been the 3rds Prized student he was quick to learn the lessons of psychological terror that the traitor Orochimaru had not, nothing had made Sarutobi more happy when he had shown him his new hobby, making snuff movies, his most prized video was of the 5th Mizukage a woman named Terumi whom he killed whilst raping her. Kakashi had a signed copy and was also his prized possession.

"if your getting the muff, to get off on the snuff, u had batter save me some stuff" said Killer B

Killer B was a defector so very little was known about him, just that he was also a jinchurikki and was undoubtedly a very powerful shinobi.

"only a fool would rush headlong into battle" said the 3rd

There wasn't much about the 3rd that had not already been said, his titles were earned just as his position as the 3rd Hokage had been when the distinctions between Kages was necessary now though with the fall of the other 4 nations such distinctions were not necessary which is why the current leader was just called the Kage.

"Know your place old man" said the Kage

The old man never hesitated to voice his opinion even to him, he wanted nothing more than to make him suffer more than he had ever suffered before, though he was confident he could beat the old man, if he truly knew every jutsu in Konoha, then he would know the Shiki Fujin jutsu and that was not something he wanted to test. He could wait, there was no other person in this room that posed such a threat the 3rd was old and soon he would be dead from natural causes one of only a handful of ninja who had ever done so in the thousand years since the Sage of the 6 paths had taught jutsu to the world and then the world had proceeded to kill each other with said jutsu.

"what a fool" the Kage thought.

"whatever happens, I will ensure the flames of despair burn brightest right before I end their lives" said Gai

Gai was a man of very few words he only ever spoke when his input was valued and he often made reference to the flames of despair, it was rumored that he kept a child in his basement that he tortured every night for the last 20 or so years though nobody had ever seen this boy his screams could often be heard in the early hours.

"that will be pleasing to see, Kakashi make preparations for the attack on the ruins immediately"

"This is a mistake" said Hiruzen

The Kage turned sharply and glared at Sarutobi, if the 3rd was at all scared he didn't show it if anything he seemed amused by his attempt.

"if you question me again I will ensure the Sarutobi line ends with you"

Now Hiruzen returned the glare.

"what a fool" Hiruzen thought.

"You're all released from this meeting,only kakashi will carry out this mission, i need you others for a different matter, do not fail me Kakashi"

Nagato, stood at the entrance to the ruins ready to greet Orochimaru and his charge as they arrived, there was a very special reason that this kunoichi had been paired with one the the rebels best shinobi. It was standard procedure for any new shinobi who joined them to have their memory's scanned by him to determine just where there loyalties lay, when he had first scanned Kurenai's memory's he had almost missed it so expertly had they been manipulated any other shinobi would have missed it but due to his legendary ocular jutsu the Rinnegan he was no ordinary shinobi, he was able to determine that Kurenai was a spy and she didn't even know it.

Konoha's methods knew no limit, on the inside Nagato seethed with rage he didn't know what life she had lived before the false memories but he could only imagine that nobody would willingly give up their memory's, nobody in Konoha who was that fanatical was expendable enough to waste like this, he could only imagine that this had been forced upon her by the Kage. Mind raped and sent into enemy hands with commands implanted into her, to dispense information on demand.

"sick bastards" Nagato thought

Nagato knew that eventually they would have to kill her, either that or Konoha would discover that she had been feeding back false intel and they would kill her for her failure, killed for failing a mission that you never wanted, and had no memory of.

As he saw Orochimaru and Kurenai approach, Orochimaru gave him a coded signal that meant he thought she may have finally passed off the information they had been feeding her, they knew they would have to give up their base of operations for this trap to work but it was a chance to deal a crippling blow to their enemy and they had to take it.

After receiving the signal he sighed though nobody saw

"looks like she will be dying sooner rather than later" he thought sadly.

"its good to see you return safely, was your mission a success"

"yes, though the Konoha base was alerted to our presence we were able to evade them." said Orochimaru

"ok, your dismissed Kurenai" commanded Nagato

"Thank you sir, and once again I am sorry Orochimaru-Kun"

"don't worry about it Kure-Chan" he said as she blushed

"if you're free for dinner later Orochimaru-kun would u like to come to my quarters?" she said blushing furiously now.

"id love to Kure-chan"

"remember to stop by the briefing room later Kurenai, its standard procedure to scan the memories of anyone who comes into contact with the enemy" Nagato said.

as Kurenai departed Orochimaru lost his cheerful expression and was replaced with a look of pain. He had spent the last 3 years with Kurenai keeping an eye on her knowing full well that she was a plant. He had never intended to get close to her but he could never bring himself to be as cold and unfeeling as those in Konoha and slowly but surely against his better judgment he befriended her , and as the years passed they got closer and closer, they had even had sex on 2 occasions. He had never once regretted it... until today, he had hoped this day would never come but now that it had he knew 3 things would happen in short order. The Kage's forces would attack, they would initiate their trap and Kurenai would be left to answer for her failure, and worst of all she would not understand why.

Orochimaru started to cry, he didnt care that Nagato was right there he knew that he would understand.

Nagato did understand, he had tasked Orochimaru with this mission years ago and he always knew that it would be hard for him to stay detached, in the end he had failed to keep her at arms length and they got close, perhaps to close but Nagato could say nothing in these dark times people accepted comfort wherever they could find it.

"Surely there must be a way?" Said Orochimaru

"No, there is not Oro-kun we have both searched for a way to remove this conditioning without damaging her memories, but the fact is with her memories already being tampered with there is just no way of doing it without destroying her brain, I will scan her memories and find out what she has revealed"

Nagato walked away the sounds of his footsteps echoed just as much in his head as they did off the walls, it would be a memory that would forever be ingrained into his mind.

When they knowingly admitted Kurenai into their ranks they knew they would have to make arrangements elsewhere, over the course of the last 3 years new bases has been built in every country designed to split up their forces into autonomous cells each with no knowledge of the others composition, purpose, its tactical alignment or the members it was made up of, they had very slowly shifted people out of the ruins over the course of the 3 years they had done so deliberately so that Kurenai would never notice a sudden drop activity that could be reported, they wanted the Kage to commit completely to taking them out so when they sprung the trap the damage done would be maximum, in the end Kurenai had been a sacrificial pawn used by both sides, the difference being that 1 side actually felt guilty about that they were doing. But it had to be done, the rebellion would become a resistance fighting with guerrilla tactics, it would be impossible for the Kage to completely dispose of them after this. The base was nothing but a skeleton crew now most of its inhabitants where simple shadow clones performing the basic functions of the base.

Nagato regretted that he would not have more time to try and activate the gateway deep within the ruins, he would have to be content with the messages that were sent. If they would ever even be read, the whole thing was a one in a billion long shot to begin with so he didn't feel too disappointed.

Kurenai entered the briefing room expecting to see Nagato, instead all she saw was the stupid gateway at the back of the huge room.

"its not like him to be late" she thought.

No sooner had the thought crossed her inner monologue that explosions rocked across the ruins, the blasts had knocked her off her feet and hitting the ground hard she fell unconscious.

Literally thousands of Konoha shinobi entered the ruins through the holes now present Nagato was grinning they had fell for it hook, line and sinker they had become complacent and conceited they believed that because they had conquered the other 4 nations that they were invincible, not today, today was when he would show Konoha just how foolish they have been.

A Konoha shinobi had spotted him in the corridors, they were not ideal for shinobi combat, but it didint matter whoever this was had come across the wrong kage-level ninja.

Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique) the chunin shouted a mad grin on his face he was looking forward to killing as many people as he could starting with this old man.

Nagato did not even bother to move, just put his hand out and absorbed the jutsu, the look of surprise on his face was food for Nagato's soul he hated killing but today he has going to send a message and it had to be clear and in writing that Konoha would understand it had to be bloody, brutal, swift, decisive and absolute.

Banshō Ten'in (Gods Pull) Nagato whispered.

The look of shock was still present of the ninjas face as he was pulled toward the unknown man before he knew it the unknown shinobies hand was around his neck. Squirming for his life the man chocked out

"please dont ki..."

Snap, with a sickening sound the chunin was dead.

Now that the attack had begun the few remaining rebels knew exactly what they had to do they had 10 mins to reach the rally point in the forest before the trap was sprung.

Orochimaru had heard the explosions go off, he knew it was too late to help Kurenai now. He wanted to stay to die with her, but that would render the sacrifice she had been made to make for nothing. He headed for the rally point and god forbid any Konoha ninja cross his path he hated killing but he wasn't in the mood for his usual temperament today.

As fate would have it as he rounded a corner and come across a female Jounin with pink hair he recognized her she was his former teammate "stupid slug whore" Tsunade's apprentice Haruno Sakura.

As soon as she saw him she dashed at him with speeds he had not expected but was still well within his ability to evade, still though as her fist now connected with the wall instead half of the corridor collapsed around her. "thats still as worrying as ever though" a few minutes passed as the continued to play this game he had analyzed that though her taijutsu was as good as his old teammate she was lacking in other areas.

"my teacher will be pleased when I bring back your head, we will drink your blood together" she said

"you know your teacher is a filthy whore right? I fucked her many times she loved it" he said trying to play psychological games right back at her.

"fuck you, you traitorous snake, they said u were experimenting on children"

"did they now..." he said unimpressed

Seemingly out of nowhere he pulled out a sword and took the offensive weaving in and out of her attack patterns and managed to strike her leg with his sword. To her credit though it did not slow her down if anything it gave her a renewed vigor. She jumped across the room and smasher her fist into the floor causing the footing underneath Orochimaru to become unstable and for a split second he lost his balance Sakura capitalized on this she covered the distance more quickly than she had been capable of before and struck Orochimaru with enough force to cause him to explode in a shower of …... mud!

Before she knew it Orochimaru had appeared out of the ground with a doton technique and struck her twice more with his sword.

She was now bleeding badly she was no doctor but she knew that if she did not get help soon she would be dead from blood loss, this was no different to fighting her mentor now matter how hard she tried it was always way short, this man was a kage level ninja for good reason his ability to misdirect your attention was incredible.

Another mud clone appeared and disappeared, she was starting to feel the effects of the blood loss, time started to distort, before she knew it she was face first on the ground and she had no idea how she got there.

Orochimaru just watched, the woman was hallucinating now the poison on his blade wasnt deadly but it did make you see things coupled with the blood loss she was definitely hallucinating she reacher out to someone that wasnt there

"Sasuke-kun..." she said as a sword slammed down through the back of her head. Her muscles started to spasm it was an interesting sight to see with her head pinned to the ground by a sword. He was pretty sure she broke her own neck, but she was already dead by that point

"a sword through the brain will do that to you" he thought.

Hatake Kakashi was a patient man, he had to be his mentor Jiraiya liked to tease in his videos making Kakashi think he was going to kill the woman and then not doing it. But this was starting to unnerve him now thousands of shinobi were now in the ruins, but the reports he was receiving were that the ruins were empty but for shadow clones and a few confirmed kills.

He suddenly realized the possiblity of a trap.

"but the plant was perfect, its intel had always been accurate" he thought

"pull out now" he ordered panic creeping into his voice

he noticed something strange happening but of the earth were moving upwards before long it wasnt just bit whole chunks of land, earth, trees even the ruins themselves everything including thousands of konoha ninja gravitated upwards.

Kakashi could only stare with a look of horror on his face as his men were crushed like sardines into a tin cup.

"what an incredible technique"

His Lieutenant though had other thoughts.

"The Kage isnt going to like this..."

suddenly the Lieutenant found himself looking up at his own headless body, the sound of a thousand birds ringing in his ears, then everything went dark.

"you think I didnt know that Haku..."

Nagato was bleeding out of his mouth, nose, eyes and ears.

"are you okay Nagato-kun?"

"that technique takes a lot out of me, your going to have to carry me to the new base"

"so you destroyed the whole ruins?"

"all of it except the gateway and briefing room, there is still hope that someone will come through"

"ever the optimist, eh Nagato-kun"

"we need to be if we are to ever win this fight, regardless today was a magnificent victory, im sorry though Oro-kun in your eyes the cost may have been to great and for that im truly sorry."

And so concludes Chapter 2.
