As our story opens we see a young child running clutching a small black book in his hands. He is only eight years old and has whisker marks on his face, we can see also through his ragged clothing various cuts and bruises that have been inflicted by ignorance, hatred, prejudice, and betrayal. He runs straight through the forest ducking limbs and feeding as much chakra to his legs as he can. His brief time at the ninja academy has taught him at least the usefulness of charging a ninja's limbs with chakra can make them last longer.
However as the boy runs he makes a mistake in his mind and he turns and climbs a high barbed wire fence that guards the entrance to a training ground. Dropping to the ground ignoring his bloodied hands satisfied that no one will be able to follow him. He takes one last look at the village he loved but that could not love him back. As he turns and runs into the darkness we see the village grow dimmer and at the top of it though you can hardly see it a small crack appears in the face of the fourth. As thunder rolls overhead we see the sign on the fence of the training ground that reads Training Ground 41: Forest of Death.
Two ninjas suddenly appear out of the rain covered in white cloaks masks cover their faces and they look at one another,
"He is finished" one states. "Yes, we must return and inform Danzo-sama that we were successful" the other replies.
The two disappear having failed to detect the still form of a child in the upper branches overlooking their position. The child's sapphire eyes turn to steel as he heard there last statement. Then he turns and disappears into the forest, a few minutes later another ninja appears outside the forest. He wears a Weasel mask, we cannot see if it is the rain or if he truly is crying as he removes his mask and two Mangakeyo Sharingan eyes stare helplessly into the forest where his charge had run to his certain doom.
"Forgive me Naruto-kun, I failed," Uchia Itachi put on his mask and disappeared into the night to find the Third.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(Watching from a shadowy realm)
Two tall men shrouded in darkness watch as a small boy carries there last legacy upon earth deeper into the darkness of the forest. One wears black pants with red stitches sewn into the flesh of his legs; he also wears a matching top of leather red belts and Jounin style armor. His face is covered by a mask of black and red. The other more imposing figure is taller by a an inch and is dressed in complete black pants and matching boots except for two little figures that seem to be embroidered on the cloth but whose eyes move erratically. He is covered by a trench coat that covers most of his body and a tank top underneath, his tattoos depicting several demonic looking creatures that include snakes, jackals, wolves, rats and hobgoblins. A single name is tattooed across his throat SARAH. His hat shadows his eyes in the traditional manner of the Order of the Dead.
They are the twin Brothers of destruction awaiting the day the will be summoned forth to destroy all in their path.
Kane's mask turns to his brother and his white eyes ask the question that his mouth can never speak being as it was sewn shut. The Undertaker glances at his brother, "Yes, he is the one. He posses our book, our Order has not died but it will be resurrected anew in this child."
Kane nods in demonic satisfaction that the destruction wrought by these two in life will be remembered. FOREVER…
