Hello and welcome back to the fourteenth episode of The Moonlit Third Eye. I recently watched the episode where Pain destroyed Konoha and it has inspired me to make my enemy powerful, so get ready my readers, its going to get hot in here. And finally the correct answer for the quote has come in. The answer is 'Itachi Uchiha'. The winner is:
Deidarakiller.
Congratulations to you. This chapter's quote is pretty easy:
"Love breeds sacrifice…which in turn breeds hatred".
BOLD means Ophania is speaking.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS, I ONLY OWN MY OCs.
Sasuke glanced at the room in front of him. This was where Orochimaru kept his tests. On the sides were many glass tubes filled with some liquid. Inside each was a body, preserved due to the liquid.
Sasuke walked down to the last one and looked at it.
Inside lay the body of Madara Uchiha.
"I took his sharingan; still I don't seem to pose as much of threat to Tsukiga as he did, why? Why can't I beat her? She keeps interfering with my plans, so there's only one thing left for me to do, I must revive Madara, but when he learns I have stolen his eyes what will he do?' hesitated Sasuke.
"He can't do anything," thought Sasuke when suddenly he remembered what Madara had once told him.
FLASHBACK
"Should I ever be defeated, you can gain unimaginable power by merging with me, that is because behind your body and chakra it will be my experience and tactics, it will be like us combined together, we will become unstoppable" said Madara as Sasuke looked on uninterested.
END FLASHBACK
He called loudly for a servant and when one came in trembling he told her to summon Karin and Suigetsu.
"I shall have Karin do the necessary for combing with Madara, and then with his and my power combined I will defeat Tsukiga" thought Sasuke running his hands over the glass tube.
He thought about what Kimiko had said, "I love being demonic to others and angelic to myself"
"There's something about her that's not quite right, why is she so powerful in the first place, is it because of her Tsukigan? Or is because she's got someone manipulating her?" thought Sasuke.
" It could be, yes, when she destroyed Kirin I saw someone behind her, someone who's chakra gave of such a menacing aura, which was horrible yet soothing, it must be someone sealed inside her" said Sasuke thinking aloud.
Just then the servant returned.
She was shaking badly now.
"Well? Did you call them?" asked Sasuke.
"N-no Uchiha-Sama, they're not in the medical room, not even in their own rooms" said the maid.
"Did you check the battle grounds?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes, they're not there" said the maid.
Sasuke frowned and dismissed the maid who rushed out thankfully.
He walked up to his room. Upon entering he saw a white paper on his side table. It was a letter to him. It read:
Sasuke, we're sick of your tyrannical manner. We don't know what's happened to make you like this but we do not like it. You have lost control of yourself and we don't think we want to endanger ourselves concerning you any more. That is why we're leaving Sasuke; we're leaving to obtain our freedom. We just don't want to do it anymore. We're very sorry Sasuke, but this is the corner you forced us into, you have only yourself to blame for this.
Lots of goodbyes and best wishes
Karin and Suigetsu.
Sasuke read the note in silence. Rage welled up inside him but then he thought, "Was I really being so tyrannical?"
"Of course I was, no wonder they wanted to leave, no wonder they always seemed to be opposing me, I've been awful to my closest allies, well, as an apology I will not chase after them or have them killed" thought Sasuke.
"It's time to make a new start, I have to kill Kimiko Tsukiga, and I shall start from scrap, first up will be merging with Madara" said Sasuke walking back to the testing room.
He went back to the room and used the release switch to drain all the water out of the tube.
Then he opened the tube and the body was pushed forwards.
He took it out of the holder and placed it on the table.
"Listen up, I want all the best medics you can find right here, right now" ordered Sasuke.
Immediately in ten minutes three young men were standing next to Sasuke.
"I take it you three are extremely experienced in the field of medical ninjutsu?"Asked Sasuke.
The three of them nodded.
"Very well, then have you heard of the technique known as 'Merging of the Ying and Yang'? Asked Sasuke.
"Yes, I have heard of it, and I do know how to perform it, it is used to seal an entity into another person, at least one of the two people required has to be alive" said the second medic.
"I heard that this technique was also used to seal Tailed Beasts inside their respective hosts at one point of time" said the third medic.
"Would you like us to operate on you Sasuke-Sama?'Asked the first one.
"Yes, I want you to seal Madara inside me in such a way that he is able to communicate with me and vice versa, he must also share my sight and thinking way" said Sasuke.
"That is possible but very difficult to perform" said the third medic.
"And you might find it very uncomfortable sharing your thoughts and eyes with someone dead" said the second medic.
"Nevertheless, I want to know whether you three can perform the operation with me and Madara."Asked Sasuke.
The medics looked at each other and then nodded.
"Very well, we'll begin as soon as you're ready" said Sasuke.
As they went out Sasuke thought, "With this not only will I be able to defeat Kimiko but also delve into her secrets" thought Sasuke.
(Tsukigakure, Private Battle Grounds)
"Shinsei no Tsukigan"
"No, no, focus on the target alone, then you will be more intimidating to them"
"I doubt that intimidation would help when dealing with Sasuke Uchiha" said Kimiko.
"Don't answer back, do as I say, I want you to send out a wave of sharp chakra as soon as you open the Tsukigan"
"All right, here I go again, Shinsei no Tsukigan" said Kimiko as a large invisible wave of sharp chakra spread before her and managed to slice three straw dummies into pieces.
"Awesome" said Kimiko.
"Don't rejoice too soon, straw isn't even the quarter of the resistance offered with true human flesh, you have not been practicing very much lately, why are you shirking your training?"
" Its just that i don't get the time, I've been absent so long that there s lot of work left to do" said Kimiko.
" No excuses, you have to balance between work and training"
"Tell me something Ophania, how is it that you knew the first and second Hokages?"Asked Kimiko.
"Why this sudden change of topic?"
"I was just curious" replied Kimiko.
"The second Hokage was at one short point of time, my lover, but then his love passed and he dropped he like a hot metal pot"
"Aww that's too bad" said Kimiko.
"Tobirama was a bit of a playboy, but Hashirama was a perfectly loyal and kind person, he comforted me when I was dumped and also helped me out a lot"
"Don't mind me asking but who were you when you were alive?' asked Kimiko.
"I was Ophania, a priestess with an extremely unique ability, I could absorb the chakra of my victim leaving them useless like a zombie, and then I could use that chakra I gathered for healing purposes, because of this kill-heal thing people called me Priestess of Heaven and Hell"
"So those two staffs were yours?" asked Kimiko.
"Correct, they were forged by my father for me, after I was sealed father had them stored away safely"
"Why were you sealed away?" asked Kimiko.
" I had been betrayed, I was the high Priestess of the Land of Temples, one day my Prime Minister betrayed me and tried to have me killed, I escaped but my title was taken away, meanwhile my fellow priests did their best to support me but failed, the Prime Minister gained the favor of the Daimyos and tried to have me killed, but before they could do that Hashirama appeared and sealed me inside a girl of age ten"
"Was that my mother?" asked Kimiko sitting up.
"Yes, she was a very gifted kunoichi, but not as powerful as you, when you were born your father, who was an expert on seals had me shifted inside you so that it would aid you in your life. I didn't mind, Hashirama sealed me away in hope that some day he would be able to unseal me and we could live happily but that day has yet to come"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know" said Kimiko soberly.
"No matter, it's all in the past, but because of my ability you have such a demonic yet angelic side to you, because of me you are able to communicate with low down creatures like demons and with proud and powerful creatures like dragons"
"I see, so that's why I have such a direct connection to the mystical realm right?" asked Kimiko.
"That's right, and what's more, The Seven De- ahhhhhh"
"What's wrong?" asked Kimiko.
"I can feel a foul chakra somewhere, it's absolutely vile and what's more, it's getting stronger"
"Can you say whose this chakra is?" asked Kimiko.
"It has the scent of the Sharingan in it, so I guess it's him"
"But Sasuke's chakra has been normal so far, you don't suppose?"
"No doubt about it, he's merged with Madara Uchiha"
"Shit this wasn't in the plans, I've got to inform the other kages immediately" said Kimiko rushing up to the headquarters.
"What's wrong?" asked Yuji as she rushed passed him.
"Get all the Tsukigakure Squad Captains, and get Deidara and Jyou-san" said Kimiko rushing into her office.
As soon as she got into her office she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote:
"Urgent situation has arisen, I have just received notice that Sasuke has merged with Madara Uchiha! The situation could become ugly if he decided to attack us right now, I doubt all of us combined could suppress him, we have to act quickly, is it possible for the meeting to be held earlier, it's extremely urgent"
As she finished copying the letter into five, Deidara, Yuji, Jyou, Ichijo and five other ninja's came in.
"Summoning Jutsu: Wind Speed Dragon" she cried as five small dragons appeared.
She gave one slip of paper to each and whispered in their ears.
In a moment all five of them were gone with the wind.
"I have received warning from Ophania that Sasuke has merged with the corpse of Madara" said Kimiko as Jyou and Yuji gasped.
"But isn't Madara dead? How will that help him, hm? "Asked Deidara.
"If the Ying and Yang technique is involved then it will be possible to resurrect him, but there is one thing, the one being resurrected will not have his body, instead he will be sealed inside the body of the host, kind of like a tailed beast inside a jinchuriki, but in this case it works to Sasuke's advantage, because now he has Madara to guide him and unlock the full potential of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan" said Kimiko.
"Wow that's one persistent dude" said Ichijo.
"And now that Sasuke saw Ophania's shadow behind Kimiko he may relay that to Madara who might recognize her "said Jyou.
" But rest assured that will not deter me, Ichijo, see to it that all of the Squad are informed of this, and I have new declaration to make, there shall be different departments to the Squad Association, one will be the Iyasu Squad, another will be the Shirazu Squad and the third will be the Suturesu Squad, let this decision be known to every unit, I hope you Captains will be able to classify them according to their affinity, anyone not fitting any of these affinities are to be put into defense Squad" ordered Kimiko.
Ichijo and the other captains nodded and went out of the room.
" Deidara, I want you to oversee this and make sure it turns out ok, also before you do that please send a warning out to the villagers and raise defense around the village" said Kimiko.
"Right, hm" said Deidara also going out.
" Jyou-San, I want you to search the archives for some powerful sealing jutsu's anything A-rank or above, you may enlist the aid of anyone from the village, please try your best" said Kimiko as Jyou bowed low and left.
"Kimiko, you must start training, Sasuke's power is rising as we speak, if we don't get stronger he's going to destroy us"
"Right, we'll begin in an hour, I just need to wrap some things up" said Kimiko.
Tsunade stood in her office with a sheet of paper before her.
A small white dragon rested on the window sill behind her. Shizune, Sakura and Kakashi stood in the room.
"So Sasuke has merged with Madara, this is disturbing indeed, we have to do something about it, at this rate he'll surpass us beyond our imagination" said Tsunade.
"Shizune, summon all the Anbu and Root leaders, Kakshi call all the jounins, Sakura send of a message about this to the Daimyo's palace, it turns out he was returned safely after the invasion failed" said Tsunade as the three behind her bowed and nodded.
Tsunade turned around and saw Naruto come rushing in as Sakura ran out
"Goodness now he'll plague me with questions" thought Tsunade sighing.
As expected Naruto burst into Tsunade's room and started yelling "Hey what's this about Sasuke joining up with Madara Uchiha, isn't Madara dead?'
"Yes Naruto but there exists a medical technique which can be used to seal merely the mind of the dead within the living so that it's Madara's brains and tactics with Sasuke power and chakra, a very dangerous combination" said Tsunade.
Naruto looked silent for some time and then he said, "What are the Kages going to do now?"
"I don't know, the Tsukikage has requested the meeting to be pre-paned, it all depends on the Raikage's decision seeing that he is the head of the Shinobi Alliance" said Tsunade.
"Grandma Tsunade, I want to return to Mybokuzan" stated Naruto.
Tsunade looked at him in surprise, "But I thought Fukasaku-Sama said the you've learnt all you can from them"
"Maybe but I still want to ask them if there's some other technique, something powerful that they're not telling me, just once, please?" asked Naruto.
"Very well, come to me tomorrow at this time and I shall have Shima-Sama summon you, now go back and make preparations" said Tsunade as Naruto whooped and ran out of the office.
"That boy, I wonder if he's already surpassed Jiraiya, maybe he has, I have to keep faith in him, after all, with his determination and the village's admiration for him, the day he wields the title of Hokage isn't far off" thought Tsunade beginning to write a long draft for the villagers.
Mei Terumi sat reading the paper set before her by her ex-pupil.
"This is a catastrophe, I mean that boy has gone much too far, we have to act immediately" said Mei as her assistant came in.
" Listen, summon every hunter ninja in the village, tell the jounins to man the borders for any prowlers, also notify to priests to increase the fog defense around the village also to set whatever traps they can find, the village must be completely secured by midnight am I clear?" asked Mei as her assistant bowed and went out.
When the hunter ninja's appeared Mei spoke to them.
" Sasuke Uchiha is on the move again, we believe he has fused with the corpse of Madara Uchiha, I may need to leave the village to accommodate a meeting in Kumogakure, however in my absence I want each and everyone of you to take on the responsibility that I take, if we come under attack your first job will be to protect the villager, evacuate them to the underwater cavern, after that your only job will be to finish the enemy, simple and clear all right?" asked Mei.
"Do not worry Mizukage-Dono, we will not fail you, we will make protecting the village our topmost priority" said the Hunter Ninjas bowing and disappearing like shadows.
"Sasuke Uchiha, you are going down" thought Mei clenching her fist.
"Oh noooo, disaster has struck yet again" cried Onoki holding a paper in one hand and clutching his heart with the other.
"Jeez you old man, can't you keep it down? What happened this time? You're favorite flavor of soup didn't come in the shop?" asked Kurotsuchi.
"Shut up you disrespectful girl, I have received notice from the Tsukikage that Uchiha Sasuke has merged with the dead body of Madara Uchiha. What on earth are we going to do now?' cried Onoki.
Akatsuchi seeing that the old man was working himself into a tantrum said, "Please Onoki-Sama, calm down, at least finish reading the letter before you throw a fit"
"Hmm, she's asked whether the meeting can be held before time, but as to that I can't do anything, it all depends on the Raikage's decision" said Onoki.
"Shall we enhance protection around the village?" asked Kurotsuchi.
" Yes, create a great wall around the village, it should impenetrable, leave some spaces for supplies to enter and exit and keep heavy guard on that place, I will wait till any notice from the Raikage arrives" said Onoki as Kurotsuchi bowed and went out to issue these orders.
"The underground mines would make a good place to evacuate if need be" said Akatsuchi.
" No they wouldn't, for one thing the mines don't have lot of air circulation, space is less, there aren't any supplies, the best place for evacuation would be the mountains" said Onoki.
"But sir, the mountains are an extremely dangerous location, robbers, thugs and wild animals roam those places like home" said Akatsuchi.
"If need be all the jounin in the village shall accompany them, I'd like to see any thugs, robber or wild animal stop them" said Onoki.
"Very well sir, we will work out on this immediately" said Akatsuchi.
After he left Onoki mumbled, "You had better work it out"
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?' asked Temari as she and Kankurou stood facing Gaara who's face was buried in a sheet of paper.
"Everything's wrong," said Gaara holding out the paper to them.
When they read it Temari gasped and Kankurou drew his breath in sharply.
"W-what are we going to now?" asked Temari.
" Tell Baki sensei to make sure the defense is up-to-date, also make sure all the villagers are given medical kits, and defense should be raised all around the village, if there are any traitors root them out and kill them" said Gaara as Kankurou left to accomplish this task.
"Gaara do you think he'll invade the village?" asked Temari.
"The possibility of that happening is slim, but it never hurts to be prepared" said Gaara.
He got up from his chair and turned around to look at the village bustling with activity and people.
"I will protect Sunagakure, as Kazekage with my life" he declared.
CRASH!
C and Darui rushed into the Raikage's office to see him behind a now destroyed table holding a crumpled up sheet of paper in his hand.
"A-Sama, what happened?" cried C looking with shock at the destruction in front of her.
"Damn that brat Uchiha, he's merged with Madara and become one, now we've got twice as much to deal with" cried A.
Anger seemed to radiate off him at a huge scale.
"Please calm down Raikage-Sama" said Darui ever the peacemaker.
" Tsukikage has requested the pre-praning of the meeting, C get Team Samui here, tell them to find means of delivering the following message to the five kages: Meeting pre-paned to four days later, will be held in the shrine in the Land of Swamp" ordered A as C bowed and went to find Team Samui.
" Darui, tell C to inform Mifune-San as well, he is also a part of the Shinobi Alliance, also inform the Daimyo of the Land of Swamps of the meeting, get his permission and inform me as soon as possible" said A.
"Right away Raikage-Sama" said Darui.
"And call all the jounins for an emergency meeting today evening all right?" asked A as Darui stepped out.
"Damn that brat Sasuke Uchiha, if only I could get my hands on him I would break his neck like a twig, I would gauge his eyes out, I would chop of his legs" thought A murderously.
"I'm not going to let a mere child of 17 ruin the nations my ancestors have worked so hard to set up" said A punching the wall as hard as he could.
That's it folks, enough for this chapter. Best of luck with the new quote and see you next time. Bye~nee.
