Chapter 4: Madara Uchiha, The Omnipotent
by DeathGodSlayer
"A-Are you really getting involved in all of this… now that it's almost over?" Sasuke asked as if worriedly as he stared in wonder at his eldest brother, who stared down at the scene of the destruction of his town with almost disinterest.
"DIE!" Before Madara could even answer, a man from the Crimson Tide Pirates lunged from the top of the Uchiha's mansion, managing to sneak on top of it, a sword gripped with both of his hands he swiped down at Madara's turned back, hoping to bisect the man horizontally.
Yet Madara only shifted his body slightly, and caught the man by the through with his left hand only, his hand locking around the man's neck like a vice grip.
Naruto stared in utter shock at Madara's actions, the speed he moved and this brute strength, to stop the man's falling movements instantly and then hold him up with but a single hand, all without his body moving from the added weight. 'And all without even looking at the attacker…'
The pirate dropped his sword instantly, choking uncontrollably as he tried to free himself from the grip around his throat, he looked painfully towards his attacker, and instantly all hope faded in the man's eyes, he stopped struggling and only stared in horror at the man strangling him single-handedly. "Y-You…!" He spoke in a horrified whisper. "We, the Crimson Tide Pirates had heard that one of the Uchiha family had left their home island indefinitely and we believed it would be safe to launch an attack on this treasure filled island, where a gold mine lies within the mountain at the centre of it. We figured, that being the eldest and most powerful it would have been you, your power being suffocated by this small island… Madara Uchiha!"
Madara only stared in boredom at the man as he explained the pirates' motive for attacking his island. He remained emotionless, unlike Naruto and Sasuke, even when the man began laughing maniacally. "No matter! This was only the beginning, WE were only the beginning. The entire Crimson Tide Fleet is approaching! Twenty-five ships, each filled with Fifty pirates are coming, we will take your head, along with all the treasure and gold locked away on this island!"
On cue, ships began sailing closer and closer behind where the destroyed ship laid, coming quickly with the wind towards the land. Madara glimpsed over to the fleet, as they reached within a hundred metres away from the port. His face finally cracked out of the apathetic mask, his brow furrowing in anger towards the fleet.
Naruto, who was watching in stunned silent, only felt a dark chill run down his spine. Sweat began pouring from his body, he dropped to one knee and could not move to return to his feet. His throat dried beyond all possibility. 'What is this!' He asked himself in fear, it was something he had never felt before, was it true fear? His eyes felt heavy, like he was going to pass out. He looked over at the others nearby, Sasuke seemed in a similar position to him, even Shisui and Izuna seemed slightly affected, a bead of sweat dropping from each of their foreheads. The pirate in Madara's grasped seemed most affect; his mouth was open wide, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. Horrified whimpers came from his voice, barely able to make a small sound.
And then he heard it, quiet, and carried by the wind. But the blond heard it clearly. Hundreds of horrified, violent screams of pain coming from behind him, he slowly moved his head towards the source. The ships movements had slowed dramatically, becoming almost completely still on the open water. Naruto looked back towards Madara, who continued to stare out towards the fleet. 'Is he causing this! Even from the distance he is from the fleet!'
Madara dropped the man to the ground, and the fear seemed to fade in Naruto. "Shisui, Izuna, hold him down. Sasuke hold his head up and keep his eyes open." Madara ordered his brothers, they complied, and even Sasuke silently followed the orders. Shisui held the man's left arm, whilst Izuna held his right, keeping him on his knees. Sasuke then moved behind him, shifting his head up and held his eyelids wide with his fingers. Madara moved and stood in front of him, glaring down at the pirate. "You WILL watch this." He spoke as if another order, bluntly, and from Naruto's point of view, scarily.
Madara moved towards the top of the steps, before stopping at the edge. He took a long, deep breath before moving his arms in front of him, his right fist resting vertically in his left hand's palm. "Suisei Suisei no Kanadzuchi!"
Nothing seemed to happen at first, but then the sound of wind breaking around an object was heard, without warning for Naruto he only watched in horror as a massive piece of Earth came down from the sky, it's surface filled with craters, its size massive size covered all of the fleet easily, and in seconds crushed them all below it, driving them into the sea underneath it. The massive lump of Earth laid in the middle of the see, positioned less than a hundred metres away from reached the island. "What was that!" Naruto screamed in shock as he watched the event in shock.
Tears filled the pirate's eyes as he watched the massive clump of earth crush his Nakama. "The wrath of God…." He answered Naruto's question in a horrified whisper. "We invoked it, the wrath of a God…." Before his eyes shifted towards Madara, who looked on at the scene unfazed by the accumulation of Death he had caused. "Madara Uchiha, The Omnipotent… A true Monster…"
"Did you expect anything less from me than a monster?" Madara responded, his cool, collected visage returning.
"The Omnipotent? I don't understand…" Naruto responded once again, unsure of what happened, until he looked at the massive piece of Earth once again, before turning to Madara, "Are you saying that he caused that…?"
The man nodded feebly in return. "'The Omnipotent'… The epithet that Madara Uchiha gained when he left the island previously in his younger years, something we hoped he repeated. The monster with the power of a God… Madara Uchiha, wielder of the Suisei Suisei no Mi…. The Comet Comet Fruit, giving him the power to bring Asteroids and Satellites down to rain upon the Earth. Because of this power, and the destruction he caused with it, a bounty was placed on his head… set at 560'000'000 Beli…"
"And despite that knowledge, you still deemed it a good idea to attack my home island." Madara turned to the man, staring down impassively at him, before looking towards Izuna and Shisui. "Deal with him." Izuna and Shisui both nodded affirmatively at Madara as he walked away, back into the mansion.
"Why did you get involved? I was handling it fine by myself." Sasuke spoke irritated at his older brothers, they had all returned to the Main hall of the Uchiha mansion, Madara sitting back on his cushion with Izuna and Shisui at either side of him, Sasuke stood in front of him, standing next to Naruto, who had been summoned by Madara.
Madara sighed deeply in response to Sasuke's question. "Why must you always be like this, Sasuke? Refusing our help in in the most difficult of situations." Madara seemed to ask himself rather than Sasuke. "My foolish little brother, you-"
"Stop calling me that!" Sasuke shouted bluntly, interrupting Madara's words by snapping at the man. "Stop speaking to me like I'm weak and helpless, unable to support myself!"
Madara's eyes went slightly wide at Sasuke's words, before a cool smirk appeared on his face. "I have never seen you like that…" He responded, from either side of him Izuna and Shisui smiled proudly down at their younger brother. "None of us have."
Sasuke only stared in surprise at his older brothers, before he looked down towards the floor. "All I ever wanted, was to prove that I was your equal, in strength and reliability, to prove that I am just as worthy a leader as you are."
"You are strong Sasuke, you are an Uchiha after all." Madara responded coolly. "But strength and reliability alone are not all that define a leader. To be a leader one needs wisdom and experience. To assess a situation carefully and properly instead of just charging in headfirst." A small smirk grew on the man's face when a faint tint of red appeared on Sasuke's cheeks, understanding that the last part was based on his previous actions.
Madara then turned to Naruto, who snapped to attention. "It appears I now owe you a great debt, you helped in defending my island home, and you also saved my brother. This cannot go unanswered, name your price and see it done."
'He didn't use 'little'…' Sasuke noted when Madara spoke of him as his brother.
Instantly Naruto grinned widely, placing his hands behind his head as he shifted to a more comfortable stance. "I'd really like to not go back to prison. God I can't tell you how much I don't want to go back to prison." He chuckled jokingly. "It was so boring being stuck in that tiny room. I'll leave your island right away if you like, I wanna continue with my adventures."
Madara offered a small smile to the blond. "Very well, you are free to go."
Naruto fist pumped the air at the raven haired man's response, before he turned to Sasuke. "So what will you do now? Join me on my adventures; after all Madara didn't kill me."
Sasuke smirked, remembering his conversation with the blond when he was guarding his cell. "A splendid idea." Madara answered for him, before he even had a chance, standing up from his cushion. "Sasuke, travel with Naruto. Gain knowledge and experience, become even stronger. And when you deem yourself ready, come back and fight me for the title of leader of the Island."
Sasuke looked up in surprise at his eldest brother, before realising the meaning behind Madara's words. Each of his brother's had left the island at some point to travel, Itachi was the only one to leave twice, finally it was now his turn. "You best be prepared for that day, Madara." Sasuke smirked, nodding towards his eldest brother.
Madara performed the exact same smirk, filled with confidence and power. "I will wait with anticipation."
Naruto and Sasuke rode out on the open sea aboard the Kage Bunshin, leaving behind the Uchiha Island a few days ago, Sasuke controlling the ship by the helm whilst Naruto lounged lazily on the bow, laying on his back staring up at the sky. "So where are we going?" Sasuke asked the blond as they sailed to apparently nowhere.
Naruto's upper body sprung up, spinning on the bow to sit cross-legged facing Sasuke. "I'm in need of training and fighting experience. So we need to find somewhere that can offer those to us."
Sasuke seemed to muse on the words before speaking. "I would suggest Karate Island, not too far from here actually. It is said to host something known as the 'Green Beast of Battle', it may provide some use for us."
Naruto beamed, nodding affirmatively. "Very well, set a course for Karate Island!" He cheered happily.
A pelican suddenly flew overhead, dropping something onto their ship. It was a stack of paper, bundled and bound together by thick string. "What's this?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"A list of bounties." Sasuke responded, allowing the helm loose to move towards the stack of paper, picking it up carefully. "I've seen them before; Madara would send Shisui, Izuna, or Itachi after a wanted pirate and claim their bounty if a quick boost to my Island's economy was needed. I'm guessing because we have not been established as pirates yet we have been given the list as well."
"We're not Pirates though, we're Adventurers." Naruto responded, looking through the sheets of paper with Sasuke. "No way, Madara's bounty increased!" He almost shouted, looking at the picture of Madara, it retained the same cool, emotionless expression as what he saw in person. The bounty on Madara had also been pushed up another 15'000'000 Beli, resting now at 575'000'000 Beli, for the Annihilation of the Crimson Tide Pirates. They even found Shisui's and Izuna's wanted posters. Shisui sat with a bounty on his head resting at 305'000'000 Beli, whilst Izuna's stood at even more at 455'000'000 Beli.
They continued looking through, reaching the final two, Naruto snatched the last one, whilst Sasuke dropped the ret two fixate on the other.
It was them, "How do they know the nickname I gave myself?" Naruto asked in confusion. 'Yellow Flash Naruto' was printed on the page. His face drenched in blood, more blood splattered through his hair, lighting from the fire had caused his eyes to hide in shadows, allowing his iris and sclera to glow ominously and demonically, his teeth clenched and his mouth open, giving the impression of a beastly snarl. A bounty had been placed on his own head, set at 35'000'000 Beli.
Sasuke looked at his own, similar to Naruto's Sasuke appeared with Black Fire in the background, smirking sinisterly, and he had been given the epithet 'Dark Pyre Sasuke'. 'It must have been taken after I used the En En no Bakugeki…' His bounty was resting at 36'000'000 Beli. Both had the same reason for being wanted, 'for Aiding in the Annihilation of the Crimson Tide Pirates.'
"Why have we been given bounties? And how did they even know what happened at your Island?" Naruto asked with serious wonder and confusion.
"The world government's eyes are everywhere." Sasuke answered cryptically. "They place bounties on anyone who they deem as a threat to their power. Eating a Devil Fruit automatically gains you a bounty if you haven't aligned yourself with the World Government or the Marines." He further explained, before scrupling his wanted poster up and lazily tossing it overboard. "It shouldn't concern us for the time being, we should only focus on getting to Karate Island."
"Hmm…" A man, battered by heavy rains and violent winds stood on a piece of flat ground on a massive mountain, lighting struck dangerously close behind him, yet he didn't seem to mind. His entire body was shrouded in a tan clock, a hood covering all of his face, save from his mouth from view. Thunder bellowed behind him again, deafening even the sound of the rain crashing into the ground. Yet these horrific weather conditions didn't seem to concern him at all. He remained completely motionless, his head tilted down to his hand, where a piece of now soaking paper rested.
"35'000'000 Beli… Impressive for your first bounty…" He looked down at the paper reading, seeing the second most crucial piece of information on it. "Although the picture isn't very flattering, eh…?"
The man stared at the picture, a blond, spiky hair boy, caught by the camera at perhaps the worst possible point; he appeared as a demon on the photograph, his face drenched in blood, more blood splattered through his hair, lighting from the fire had caused his eyes to hide in shadows, allowing his iris and sclera to glow ominously and demonically, his teeth clenched and his mouth open, giving the impression of a beastly snarl. "Naruto…"
A/N: Hey there, DGS here! Chapter 4 was released double time, for no other reason than I had nothing better to do, I hope this chapter was an improvement from the last chapter, wasn't as much fighting this time.
Madara's Devil Fruit - I based it on the Asteroid Technique he used in Naruto Canon, that thing was pretty goddamn bad ass. So I hope it helps live up to Madara's Epithet
Madara's insanely high bounty: What could have Madara have done to gain such a high bounty? Who knows. His bounty stands at 575'000'000 Beli, higher than any One Piece Canon bounty known so far. I believe it gives justice to Madara to hgave such a high bounty, similar to Shisui and Izuna. The highest known bounty in One Piece canon is 550'000'000 Beli and belongs to Portgas D. Ace, I think it's fair that Madara has this bounty, because I don't believe that Ace has the highest bounty in the world, Shanks' is gonna be higher, Big Mam's is gonna be higher. Whitebeard's was definately higher (and maybe Marco's aswell), and Blackbeards will definately be massive now.
Naruto's bounty: Yeah, he got his first bounty early on, Luffy gained his after defeating Don krieg, Buggy and Arlong I think it was maybe Kuro, so I played a similar route, Naruto deafeats a large fnumber of pirates and gains a bounty, now I need to think of other reasons for his bounty to increase.
The Mystery Man: I know who it is. You can take a guess at who it is, but he will appear every now and again and he will eventually meet Naruto.
Other than that, I am stumped for the next chapter. should their be a side adventure, or should I get Naruto straight to Karate Island. Either way, at least three new Naruto characters will be introduced, one was mentioned in the chapter, just look closely for it.
FINALLY, I seriously suck at making OCs, something that would have made the Crimson Tide Pirates if I didn't. So I am calling out to those who have OCs pirates, I need Villains, Marines anything really. Please PM me if you have a useable OC, credit will be given!
