Hey everybody this is my first ever fanfic so I would appreciate it if you tell what you think about it.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Naruto and all rights are reserved to Masashi kishimoto.
Warning this is a Naruto x mei x hinata fic, not sure if i should make it a harem fanfic tho but if i feel i can smoothly add other girls i might give it a try. Several changes to canon throughout.
Unknown location
"Thank you for coming" a man standing beside a shadowy figure said looking at the new guests present. He looked pretty plain with blond long hair which had black highlights that he held in a pony tail style, he wore regular civilian clothes which consisted of a grey long sleeve top and dark brown trouser . He had a scar running from the left side of his forehead to the right of his cheek close to his lips
"Like I had any other choice" another man said. He strangely looked like a copy of the man with a scar except instead of black highlights he's were red ,he looked a bit more feral than the other ,kinda like a mix between human and animal. but wore the exact similar clothing
"Well then..."
"Mmm...Over the past few days these newly acquired memories of ours has been becoming more consistent" the only person sitting down whose features were well hidden by the shadows said.
"Pfff more like annoying " the feral man replied.
"I agree it's been a lot disturbing " agreed the man with the scar
Pausing as he watched the others nod their head in understanding
"Yes...I fear that if this is not taken care of, continuing with our plan would be more difficult" the leader said seriously
"So what's your plan exactly ??" the feral looking man said folder his hands.
"Simple, we go to where everything started " the man who appeared to be the leader said
"That would be..." the feral man asked
"Konoha " the leader responded in a plane tone while looking at the elderly bald man dressed in brown shabby looking civilian clothing.
The cave became uncomfortably silent allowing the sounds of the water dripping nearby to become more pronounce. The man in the shadow expected such a response as he shared the same view as the others about the village.
"When do you wish we move" the man with the scar said seriously
"That would be unnecessary...you see yesterday Someone was sent to gather the necessary information " the leader said earning a nod from the others
"And here I thought you were already going to destroy them" the feral man said shaking his head
"Hahah no ...not yet" the leader said getting up from the shadow allowing the light to bath his form.
'What his results are will determine what happens next' the man with the scar thought as he followed him out the cave
"You two are to make sure that the training is completed as soon as possible...am I clear" the leader said giving them a very serious look
"Hai"
Back at the kage submit
"Where is she?" Sasuke asked not wasting any time to look at Karin as they sprinted
"She's a few rooms above us, but it looks like she's moving, most likely to help the other kages" Karin said loudly.
'Good' sasuke thought as they searched from door to door looking for the stairs up
"Shi-" was all sasuke could say as he was punched hard by a rock golem which came out of no where pushing him into Karin as both of them destroyed the wall behind them ,falling down into the previous floor level they just evacuated.
"Aww What the hell" Karin grunted
'I didn't sense anyone nearby ' Karin thought as she stood up searching for sasuke.
"Ugh" sasuke grunted getting up slowly. He had taken most of the damage from their fall.
"Dust Release :Particle Style" A voice said as a bright white transparent cube consumed the staggering form of sasuke who had no time to react and almost immediately the cube flashed white and immediately sasuke was gone.
"Sasuke, No!!!" Karin shouted getting a brief look at her team leader before he she was immediately surrounded by samurai's
Wasting no time the samurais subdued her in chakra cuffs ensuring that she wasn't going to be a bigger threat.
" Onoki What was that about...I had everything under control " Ay raged walking towards his fellow kages location angrily
"It was obvious you were having a hard time dealing with the kid, you should appreciate my help" Onoki said waving off Ay's anger knowing fully well it was going to piss him off the more.
About to retort Ay paused when a new unknown voice said "Well well Well" coming from no where and startling everyone making the guards to form a protective circle around their prisoners
"Who are you...show yourself coward" Ay said loudly looking around to find this new person.
"Look at that" The same voice said loudly as a vortex materialized from thin air distorting reality as a figure came out of it
Everyone immediately got tense at the unexpected arrival of two new enemies with Zetsu sprouting from the floor next to tobi
"Sasuke always eager to battle, look where that temper of your got you" black Zetsu said
"So, your the one they call Tobi or is it Madara Uchiha?" Tsunade who had just arrived said looking sternly at the masked man.
"Feeble things like names hold little importance to me, what matters is ones purpose and mine strictly revolves around peace" Tobi said
"You're a delusional madman," Gaara spoke up still a bit scared of meetings he akatsuki leader for the first time.
"You really believe that you could bring order when you and the Akatsuki have caused nothing but death and destruction?"
"So simple-minded you are kazakage San, it seems the suna heat has affected your thinking. Everything I've done, no...everything I do, has all been for the sake of bringing peace to this wretched world" the masked man said with his tone becoming bitter
"People like you are the ones that make this world a bad place. You claim that your goal is to seek peace but your actions say the opposite" Darui stated
"Sometimes, in order to do good, bad things need to be done. The various countries, the Hidden Villages, the shinobi themselves… All of it is a sickness in this world, one that needs to be cured but this can be done with only one jutsu"
Ōnoki frowned at Tobi. "You think you could call yourself Madara Uchiha? I've seen the man before, and believe me…Compared to him your just a child"
Chuckling, Tobi replied, "is that right ?" He ignored the glare from the shortest of the Kage, looking to the group as a whole. "Now, as I was saying, our plan is to use a jutsu that will be the ensnare the whole shinobi system, ridding it of its corrupt ways"
He paused for a moment, his masked visage looking down as if in thought.
"No… Why stop with only shinobi's when I could save the whole of humanity itself." The masked man said spreading his arms as if preaching the gospel. He wanted them to get a glimpse of how big of a scale the plan was
"The Moon's Eye Plan… That is my initiative, and it's rather simple. Using the Bijuu, I will use their power to give me the strength to have my Tsukuyomi reflect off of the moon itself, trapping everyone in an illusion that will drown them in such glorious fantasy that they won't have the will to break free."
He let it sink in for a moment.
"You're insane," Tsunade softly muttered.
"Every. Single. Person. Whether they're man, woman, child, or elder. Whatever they believe to be their paradise, they will be brought to and live out the rest of their days." Tobi said smiling behind his mask
"You really think we'll just sit around and let you do as you please?" Ay questioned with a growl. "What's to stop us from attacking you now?"
Meanwhile in konoha
'It's surprisingly easy to sneak into the strongest ninja village ' an elderly bald man dressed in brown shabby looking civilian clothing, holding a dirty brown bag which he held tightly his shoulder thought while greeting people as he aimlessly walked round the village.
'I bet if the boss saw this he would have been really disappointed...but then again this still makes my plan a lot more easy' the elderly man though smiling lightly as he caught a glimpse of an Anbu dashing quickly towards a training ground.
Discreetly checking if he was being watched, seeing no one, he decided to act casual as he followed the anbu into the training ground doing his best not to draw any attention while following the anbu ops chakra as he kept his distance.
Going deep into the training field he ceated four clones given them their orders "take a cross position around this location and stay hidden, once anyone of you senses that man inside begin the barrier Justu, remember do not get caught or the mission is over, got it !"
"Yes sir " they said lowly already understanding the seriousness of the mission
"Good now spread out" the old man said making the clones leave to their location as he followed the route the anbu man entered
Back at the kage submit
"Well perhaps me declaring war on you all may stall you just long enough. Yes, I think that will do nicely…"Tobi said
"War?" Gai repeated in shock.
"Upon all the Hidden Villages?" Ao repeated stunned.
"Yes. War; the Fourth Great Ninja War!" Tobi exclaimed. "Gather your forces, shinobi! For mine shall meet you on the battlefield, and every death on your end will only bring me one step closer to the completion of my Moon's Eye Plan!"
He chuckled at the tense, angry looks aimed at him.
Quickly activating his Kamui, he began to fade into a space-time swirl centered around his eye. Before he fully vanished, he called out, "Consider this the start of the war, The Fourth Great Ninja War begins!"
And with that, he was gone.
"This is bad," Tsunade spoke up, being the first to do so since Tobi's departure. "Are we even prepared to go to war? We don't even know what the hell Tobi's army will even consist of."
"It's definitely a cause for concern," Gaara agreed. "I believe Lord Mifune's proposal for an alliance between us is a wise choice . This isn't about the Jinchūriki and Bijuu's anymore; he's after everyone."
"Ye," the samurai leader replied . "As it stands, we know nothing about the forces of Tobi and his group. We must band together; shinobi and samurai."
"I agree," Mei stated. "Whoever joins this alliance will have the support of the Hidden Mist. We cannot let them succeed ."
"You know where I stand," Tsunade said frowning at the thought of another ninja war
"The Hidden Sand stands with the alliance," Gaara declared. "I won't stand by and do nothing."
Ōnoki grumbled irritably. "To think that upstart has the audacity to target so many people. I agree, this world ain't perfect .The Hidden Stone will join the alliance."
"The Hidden Cloud will support this alliance," Ay said a bit unhappy
"That's a relief to hear" Mifune spoke up, catching the larger man by surprise.
"I stand by my earlier reasons for the others not being accepted as the leader and I'm sure others may not agree with me but I would prefer the hokage takes leadership role "
"As much as I hate to say it i support that choice" Onoki said a bit unhappy
"I have no problem as long as you keep the casualties as low as possible. We're fighting for something much more than just our villages" gaara said seriously.
"Well said" replied Onoki agreeing with gaara
"If you're willing to listen to our opinions we should have no problem" mei said
"Don't expect me to do any heavy-lifting" Ōnoki taunted with no malice.
"I think the name Shinobi and Samurai Alliance is a bit too long" Ay said jokingly
Tsunade noted. "Why not the Allied Forces, or something "
"That's perfect" gaara said in approval with Onoki and Mei agreeing
"Then, I call this meeting of the Allied Forces to a close. I suggest we all begin preparations for the war immediately " Mifune said.
Mifune nodded in agreement.
"We'll all meet at the eastern border of the land of fire in two weeks " Tsunade said sternly . "That should be enough time for everyone to gather their forces and necessities ."
The others nodded in agreement as they began leaving the room.
"I am worried. Tobi is an Uchiha too, Who knows what he could teach Sasuke while he recovers?" Gai said after a long time of silence
"Regardless our major concern right now is coming out victorious " Tsunade said leaving the room
Meanwhile in konoha
Root underground hideout
'We did not anticipate an early joint attack by the other villages which ended with the complete destruction of whi-' the elderly man managed to read from the scroll before it suddenly caught on fire in his hands.
"Who are you and how did you get in here!!" an unfamiliar voice said in a threatening tone snapping the old mans attention off the burning scroll.
...
"Shimura Danzo. You have information that is of serious importance to me, and im in need of it now " the elderly man said turning around to look at the newcomers.
"Too bad... not only would you not be getting any information you won't be leaving here" a bandaged elderly man said in a stoic voice as he hardened his gaze at the man before him
Discretely signaling his men to advance towards the unknown man. Three of the anbu ran towards the man from both his left and right side while the third went direct head on, the remaining two stayed with the leader
Widening his eyes in surprise at the speed of the two anbu men the old man had little time to react as he was stabbed quickly with both blades going through the sides of his rib cage.
"Ugh" the old man choked out as the anbu twisted their blades doing their best to put him in a lot more pain.
...
Watching as blood seeped out of his sides the anbu men stared blankly through the eyes of their masks as the man slowly reached to touch their protected faces.
"Tsk" the old man grunted as he strengthened his grip tightly squeezing the face of both anbu men harder making them lean into him more.
The third anbu man had stopped advancing stared in confusion at what was going on. Then it happened the masks of both of the anbu men the old man held broke into pieces letting his fingers dig freely into the sides of their skulls.
"Aaaaaahhh"
Hearing the sounds of bones and mask crushing the other anbu man performed a shunshin to the back of the old man going for a downward slash.
The old man feeling the chakra build pushed both anbu men away then he quickly leaned to his right dodging the slash before it struck. Moving his right hand he pulled out the sword stabbed into his left side blocking the attack the anbu used as a follow up attack.
"Shadowsupia (Shadow spear)" the old man said as a black spear quickly rose out of his shadow stabbing the anbu through his chest killing him immediately. Wasting no time the old man disappeared and immediately all hell broke loose.
'What' Danzo thought confused noticing that the old man didn't bother making any hand sign ,he watched the man disappear then his remaining men got ripped apart by some unseen force leaving bloody trails.
"I'm going to say this once...tell me all about the contents of that scroll" the man said appearing in front of danzo as he gripping him from his neck tightly making it nearly impossible to breath nor speak.
"Uuughhh...Fool this is where you die!" Danzo said choked loudly as he shifted his bandaged arm throwing a hard punch towards his opponent.
Caught by surprise when he noticed the supposedly paralyzed hand, the old man had no time to react as he took the punch head on.
A bit happy he caught the man, Danzo frowned as he did not expect his fist to go straight through the mans head like it was some kind of liquid and also he didn't feel the mans grip loosen,not even a bit.
" Fushoku-Sei gasu (Corrosive fume) " the man muttered as his skin seeped dark purple smoke which crawled into Danzo's skin quickly enveloping his hand
"Nani"
Danzo panicked feeling whatever the man injected into him render his arm useless as it quickly consumed half of his hand making it drop still as if it was paralyzed .
Jumping back to keep a safe distance from the man the goo wrapped around his hand stretched before finally giving up. Glancing at his arm which was quickly crumbling into dust particles danzo tried to understand what sort of move that was.
"As you see there is no way you can win" the man said slowly advancing towards danzo as the goo retracted back into his face on its own, before slowly reforming back to his normal look.
"Pff overconfidence isn't getting you anywhere...Now!!!" Danzo shouted and immediately the room was enveloped by a loud explosion.
BANG
"Izanagi..."
Eyes widening in surprise the man watched as danzo slowly faded before the explosion consumed his view.
Meanwhile outside the root mission record room
...
...
Everything went silent
...
Haggard breathes echoed in the silent room as danzo slowly faded into existence outside the destroyed room. Dropping on his knee he gripped his chest trying his best to stabilize his breathing.
"Took longer than expected" danzo whispered in a low tone noticing the extended delay in his re materialization.
'Good thing I cast the izanagi before going in or I would have been dead... i'm sure people heard the explosion' Danzo thought while frowning knowing that anbu would probably be on their way to investigate.
...
"That was a nice trick there, but sadly it served no purpose " a serious voice said from within the smoke clouded room.
"Impossible !" danzo said with a mixture of both shock and doubt.
"Oh it's very much possible danzo san"
...
...
"I don't know who you are or how you survived, but it's already over, the hokage has probably heard the explosion and sent a team of well trained soldiers here to investigate " Danzo said hoping the man would panic an do something stupid.
"Hahahahah not gonna happen...you see this whole bunker was sealed shut the moment you entered, nothing comes in or goes out" the man said ignoring the crowd of anbu which immediately took defensive positions as he revealed himself from the smoke, showing that he was completely unharmed.
'Seals of such level are only known advance seal masters, could he be... he is a bigger threat than I anticipated' Danzo thought discretely glancing at his exposed pale arm which surprisingly had five eyes closed while the other five lazily rolled taking in everything in the room.
Slowly spreading his stance the man slowly opened his eyes as he watched Danzo's army running towards him.
"Now watch as your empire falls before your very eyes" he said planting his feet firmly in the floor causing it to crack.
Extending his left palm a dark rod emerged which he quickly gripped while rotating to deflect the approaching kunais thrown by some anbu members. Halting his twisting once he felt no kunai near him the old man threw the rod like a javelin.
Seeing the approaching rod one anbu man tilted his body backwards, power sliding below it, but others anbu behind him were not quick as the attack tore through large numbers of them crashing into the wall creating a huge crater.
Fazing out of existence danzo turned seeing his men drop dead without putting much of a fight . Luckily an anbu man was able to keep the man stationary as he was trying desperately to dodge attacks as others rushed to support him.
Dodging swift sword attacks the old man engaged the anbu men in quick fist fights which either ended with him brutally killing them or using them as human shields to stop their teammates weapons.
Tilting different directions the old man skillfully evaded the sword slashes as he rotated, punching one anbu man clean with an uppercut as the man levitated off the floor with his head flying off his shoulders, pulling on the mans feet the old man used the dead body to absorb numery sword attack's.
Caught by surprise the anbu's stared confused as their swords got stuck in their comrade. Quickly straightening his hand the old man stabbed it through the punctured anbu's chest as he grabbed some random anbu mans hand pulling him closer through his teammates chest while his other hand took the sword blocking a backwards slash.
Pulling the anbu man, the old man threw him through a crowd of quickly approaching men forcing them to separate, which was good since the mans body exploded hurting and killing a few other men. Wasting no time he gifted out quick slashes cutting down numerous more soldiers making his way to their leader.
Halting his sprinting the old man deflected the multiple kunais thrown at him, catching a glimpse of something the man quickly rotated as he caught the exploading tag in his palm as the string cut letting the kunai sail pass him.
"Katsu" an anbu man said seeing as the man was stupid enough to hold the tag, imagine his surprise when he saw the tag go off in the old mans closed fist destroying the hand which quickly regenerated.
"Earth style : Rock prison " some anbu men said creating four layers of rocks that rose of covering all the corners of the old man.
"Chakra absorbers now" an anbu man who seemed to be the leader said making a group of 12 men rush placing their hands on the earth prison as they immediately began absorbing the old mans essence.
Chakura Kyūin Jutsu ( Chakra Absorption Jutsu)
Watching in silence danzo couldn't help but feel relieved that they had finally contained the man. but he couldn't help but listen to the nagging feeling telling him that it wasn't over.
...
It had been a few minutes and yet there had been no sign of retaliation from the old man, but that quickly changed.
"What are you doing?...don't stop" danzo heard the anbu man say to one of the men absorbing the old mans chakra who was coughing loudly.
"Something's...not ri-" the man said as he started making handseals really quickly "Katon: fireball Justus" the man said firing a huge fireball at the remaining anbu and danzo.
'What' Danzo thought backing off slowly
"Water style: water wall" some anbu men said as they rushed to the front creating a wall of water to protect themselves
...
Ugh
"Did you think it was going to be easy to capture me" the voice of the old man said as the smoke cleared to reveal that the earth prison crumbling and all the chakra absorbing shinobi now stood beside the man and had black goo covering parts of their body which were mostly their limbs and head.
"Don't just stand there...do something" the anbu leader said to the now scared troop which were slowly backing away
"Piercing darkness" the old man said placing his hands together as his shadow grew with spikes extending from it shooting all around them impaling the remaining anbu men and even passing through those who managed to set up some kinda defensive wall.
'S-such power, it's...it's inhuman ' Danzo thought watching the earth wall crumble slowly
"Now then danzo San ,why don't we settle this already" the old man said walking towards danzo as the anbu under his control dealt with the remaining of danzo anbu
Two days later
somewhere in Kusagakure
A figure sat calmly on a cliff which stood above a little lake, basking in the warmth of nature. His eyelids closed ,the figure hummed to a non existing rhythm calmly as thick locks of his hair danced with the wind.
Feeling a disturbance in the wind he broke his concentration as he stared calmly at nothing in particular "Report" he said
"Everything's going a lot better than expected, the problem with our new chakra density level has been taken care of and as we speak the others are currently trying to recreate most of our previous techniques" the messenger said calmly after a brief moment of silence
"That's good, what about the new ideas on Justus, how's that going?" The man on the cliff inquired watching as trees below him flew off the ground by some unseen force
"Were making good progress, who knows in less time w-" the messenger said pausing slightly as he heard a nearby bush rustle.
"Seems like there's going to be a war" a new voice said from within the bushes.
Slightly moving his gaze towards the location the man on the cliff looked at the new visitor who appeared to be an elderly bald man dressed in brown shabby looking civilian clothing, holding a dirty brown bag which he held tightly his shoulder.
"That's an unexpected thing to hear" the messenger said looking a bit stunned at the bald man.
"After absorbing his memories I impersonated him so as to not draw attention of his death ,honestly I wasn't expecting the hokage to return and set an immediate meeting. Apparently the war is between the ninja villages and the Akatsuki meaning it has something to do with the bijuus...everyone's calling it the third ninja war" the bald man said smiling lightly.
"Anything else " the man on the cliff asked
"Vital information regarding our memory has been obtained. It is as the older generation thought leader sama , they had a hand in the attack, with danzo and the others playing a major role" the bald man said frowning as he threw the sack bag on the floor in front of him making the content inside visible.
"I took care of him, along with all his followers that were present "the bald man said as black thread like tendons erupted from within him wrapping round his form.
"Good, good one less problem to think about" the man on the cliff said looking at the silent messenger who was glaring at the bloody decaying head on the floor.
"Now all that remains are the others " the man on the cliff said looking a bit unhappy as he turned from the messenger to the bald man whose form now appeared to be similar to his.
...
...
'The end...it's near' the man thought watching as large portions of land below him crumbled as it got pulled into a black vortex like thing.
