Crossroads of Destiny

by The Vaudevillain Veteran

Shisui Uchiha gave his last remaining eye to Itachi Uchiha, and leapt off a cliff to end his life...only he instead found himself in Purgatory and informed by an Angel that the Chief God needed his skills to defeat the Demon Lord.

19. 19: The Hunting Party

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked the strange white haired man in front of him.

"I am Lord-"

"You never answered my question! How the hell are you still alive hmmm!?" Deidara barked out, interrupting Jashin.

"I'm an Uchiha elite, do you really think that pathetic explosion of yours could have killed me?" Sasuke asked Deidara with great confidence bordering on arrogance.

"Hmm. You and your brother are both one and the same, thinking you're better than everybody-"

Deidara's eyes widened in shock as he noticed Sasuke disappear out of thin air and reappear right below him. Sasuke's horrifically fast speed was not what shook Deidara most though, as he noticed that said Uchiha's sharingan looked similar but different to the one Itachi had.

"You dare talk about Itachi!" Sasuke roared out as a chidori flickered around his left hand, intent on striking Deidara in the chest.

Deidara's mind: (No way, it can't be! That can't be the Mangekyo! I've got to be hallucinating hmmmm!)

Time seemed to have slowed down between Sasuke and Deidara. The former radiated killing intent with his Chidori and activated Mangekyo while the latter was analyzing how he could dodge and counter-attack Sasuke.

Jashin though intercepted Sasuke's chidori before he could strike Deidara and for a moment both exchanged glances with one another. Jashin looked at Sasuke almost how a disappointed father would look at his son while Sasuke glared at Jashin with a hateful gaze, his eyes never blinking once for nearly 10 seconds.

"Why? Why the hell did you stop me from killing this piece of trash!?" Sasuke angrily asked Jashin.

"Because he is not your enemy right now." Jashin calmly answered Sasuke.

"Not my enemy!? The hell do you mean!?" Sasuke angrily asked Jashin again, as he attempted to free his left hand from the former Demon Lord's grasp without avail.

"What I mean is Sasuke is that I summoned you here because I need both you and Deidara's help." Jashin answered.

"And why should I help you?" Sasuke asked Jashin.

Jashin smirked, before taking out his necklace that bore his own symbol, which was an upside down triangle inside a circle. Jashin held his necklace up high enough to ensure that Deidara also could see it.

"Do you know what this symbol is?" Jashin smugly asked Sasuke, who much to his delight looked completely shocked.

N-no way! That's the same necklace that Hidan wore hmmmm!" Deidara uttered out in disbelief.

"Indeed. I am none other than Jashin, rightful ruler of the Demon Realm and soon to be conqueror of the world." Jashin introduced himself.

"So Hidan wasn't a complete lunatic then..." Sasuke muttered to himself.

"Indeed he was not, for I was very much real. Although if I am to be correct in your timeline he was such an incompetent idiot that he got bested by a member of the Nara clan yes?" Jashin asked Sasuke.

"Yeah he did hmmm." Deidara confirmed.

"I feel it is my need to inform you gentlemen that I can do more than just grant immortality to those who worship me." Jashin spoke out, attracting both Sasuke and Deidara's attention.

"Elaborate." Sasuke demanded.

"It's a long story but to cut it short I was once upon a time a Demon Lord with far greater power than I currently have. What I mean Sasuke is that if both you and Deidara help me in reclaiming my rightful throne, I can grant you anything you desire." Jashin explained.

"Ahhh but I already know your deepest desire Sasuke. You want your family and clan back. How about we strike a deal, you help me defeat Lilith and her pesky monster girls and I can fully resurrect your entire clan." Jashin proposed.

Sasuke's eyes widened in amazement.

"N-no way, you're bluffing." Sasuke retorted.

"Oh but I am not Sasuke. Here let me show you that I am indeed speaking the truth." Jashin said as he placed a hand above Sasuke's face.

Sasuke's vision became blurry for a few seconds, and all around he only saw what looked like a bluish white void where it was only him and Jashin. He then heard soft murmurs that were at first unintelligible but when he listened closely, they became more clear.

"Sasuke! It's you! It's really you!" A familiar voice called out to Sasuke.

Sasuke stared on in disbelief at seeing his mother in front him alive and well.

"M-mother...?" He croaked out.

"My little boy, you're so grown up!" Mikoto Uchiha cried out in joy as she walked towards and hugged her son.

"It's me mother...I...Itachi...he..."

Mikoto cupped her hand on her son's face, as if she understood what he was trying to say.

"I know about Itachi and why he had to do what he did." Mikoto answered softly.

"You know?" Sasuke replied.

"Yes I do. Before he killed us Itachi explained to your father and I that Lord Third and the Leaf council ordered him to wipe out the entire clan overnight." Mikoto explained in a voice filled with sorrow.

"Mother..." Sasuke muttered out as he continued to hug his mother tightly as she disappeared into particles of dust in his arms.

Opening his eyes once again Sasuke saw that he was back in the main office of the Mizukage building, with the Akatsuki members and another man with long brown hair and white robes he did not recognise.

"I promise on the graves of you, father and Itachi that I'll kill every single man woman and child of the Hidden Leaf Village." Sasuke announced in a low voice as he gazed at the ground, avoiding eye contact with everyone present.

"What you say was merely a glimpse of my power...I control the boundary between the dead and living and if you swear allegiance to me then I shall resurrect your entire clan." Jashin told Sasuke.

Sasuke thought on that offer for a moment. Jashin had shown him that he was not bluffing about his power.

Seeing no other plausible option Sasuke did what he believed was the logical decision.

"You got a deal." Sasuke muttered out, earning a smirk from Jashin who offered him a handshake. which Sasuke reluctantly accepted.

"I am very much pleasured to have you and Deidara amongst our ranks Sasuke." Jashin warmly announced to the duo.

"Now that we are past the introductions, it is time to move forward with our plans. If memory serves right both of you were members of the Akatsuki in your timeline yes?" Jashin asked Sasuke and Deidara.

"Yeah hmmmm."

"Yes."

The two rogue shinobi answered Jashin.

"Good. Now that is confirmed the both of you shall answer to Pain." Jashin announced as with the waver of a hand, made two Akatsuki cloaks appear on both Sasuke and Deidara.

"Before I depart though, there is some very vital information that I believe you should know Sasuke." Jashin spoke up once more.

"And what would that be?" Sasuke asked the former Demon Lord, never ceasing his confrontational tone.

"In the world where I originate from the Uchiha clan are still alive." Jashin revealed to Sasuke.

"What...? But how? The entire Uchiha clan was slaughtered by Itachi." Sasuke muttered out in disbelief.

"Yes he did kill them all, in your timeline." Jashin corrected Sasuke.

"For you see the Uchiha clan currently taking refuge in my world are from an alternate timeline where Shisui was saved and recruited by the Chief God to help defeat Lilith and her monster girls." Jashin calmly stated.

"Shisui's alive?" Sasuke stammered out.

"Yes he is. And he is the root cause of all of my problems ever since he joined forces with Lilith."

"Who the hell is this Lilith hmmm? And what exactly are these monster girls you speak of?" Deidara impatiently asked Jashin.

Jashin cleared his throat and snickered, before speaking once more.

"Lilith is the current Demon Lord of the world where I originate from. Before she usurped my throne all the monsters were flesh eating beasts whose only instinct was to conquer and kill. Now...ever since Lilith came into power she used her magic to change all the monsters into sappy pathetic human loving whores." Jashin explained to both Sasuke and Deidara.

"And what about Shisui? How did he survive his fall?" Sasuke quizzed Jashin for answers once more.

"This Shisui however is not from your timeline, hence why he is "alive" so to speak because he never died in the first place. Now that we are discussing the Uchiha for me to bring back "your" clan you will need to get rid of him and every Uchiha that managed to escape your world." Jashin told Sasuke.

Sasuke scoffed at the notion that Jashin wanted him to kill his own clan and especially Shisui, one of the few people he genuinely cared for and how was like an older brother to him alongside Itachi.

"You want me to kill my own clan? If that's the case then our deal is off for I will not shed the blood of another Uchiha ever again." Sasuke told Jashin, clearly outraged at the prospect of having to kill his own clan, whether they were from an alternate timeline or not.

"My boy...you will do as I say." Jashin answered in a low tone before without warning, the King of Hell reappeared from the ground behind Jashin. Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to unsheathe it when he felt a hand grasping his throat that cut the oxygen to his brain and saw a large purple hand coming out of The King of Hell's mouth to enter his own, pulling out his "tongue" that also contained his very life essence.

"Gah!"

"I already told you the powers I possess, and it would be very unwise to challenge a Demon Lord's orders because those who do never live to see another day." Jashin warned Sasuke.

"But...I still need you, and I believe that this was enough to convince you otherwise yes?" Jashin asked Sasuke, who could only gurgle out a response.

"Good." Jashin muttered out as he desummoned the King of Hell and released Sasuke from his grip.

Sasuke kneeled on the ground, grasping his throat and breathing in some much needed oxygen.

"I'll give you 30 minutes to prepare, then I will come find you to begin your mission." Jashin told Sasuke.

"And don't even think of trying to run away." He warned Sasuke before casually exiting the meeting room.

Deidara though stared at the former Demon Lord in awe. The only other person he knew who displayed such power was none other than the leader of the Akatsuki Pain.

Deidara's mind: (N-no way. How did he do that? What the hell was that thing he summoned just now. I gotta be careful around here hmmm. And this Lilith and her monster girls, who and what are they?)

Deidara's mind was running at the influx of information he had just received and many questions that he desperately wanted the answers to. He turned around and inspected the Akatsuki that still stood around the table in discussion with one another. He recognised Pain, Kisame, Kakuzu and Sasori, but did not recognise a white haired woman who chose to keep to herself and remained in the corner of the room quiet and neither did he recognise the brown haired man with the blue mascara around his eyes and white robe he wore.

Most striking to Deidara however, was seeing none other than Kabuto, Orochimaru's right hand man, in an Akatsuki robe.

Deidara's mind: (No way? Is that...Kabuto? But how? When did he join Akatsuki?)

The rouge bomber of Iwagakure was quickly snapped out of his thoughts once realising that the entire Akatsuki, including that man with the long brown hair were all shooting him death glares. Not wanting to draw any more unnecessary hostility towards himself Deidara called out to the leader of the Akatsuki.

"Lord Pain." Deidara called out the leader of the Akatsuki's name.

"Yes? What is it?" Pain asked Deidara.

"Who am I gonna be paired with? Is it gonna be Sasori hmmmm?" Deidara asked Pain in his usual snarky tone.

"No. You will be paired with Sasuke." Pain calmly answered Deidara as he pointed towards said Uchiha.

Both Sasuke and Deidara shot death glares at Pain upon announcing that they'd be in a team together. Pain on the other hand paid them no mind.

"What? You seriously can't be pairing me with him hmmm!?" Deidara strongly objected

Meanwhile in a dungeon directly underneath the Royal Makai sat a certain white haired teenage shinobi. His usually emotionless expression turned into one of a deep scowl ever since he awoke in this cell.

Kimimaro's mind: (Lord Jashin, I have failed you once again.)

Kimimaro looked up to see that same white haired woman from two days ago standing on the other side of his cell. Standing beside her though was a group of women made up of a jelly like substance all closely bound together and a woman whose entire lower body seemed to be composed of a squid.

"What do you want?" Kimimaro snarled.

"We are not here to fight, we only want to help you." Ilassa the Lilim explained to Kimimaro.

"Help me? You want to help me? I don't want your help." Kimimaro objected.

"Please Kimimaro, just accept our help, our love. I promise you won't regret it." Ilassa pleaded with Kimimaro, hoping he would listen.

"How do you know my name?" Kimimaro asked Ilassa in a low threatening tone.

"It was rather simple actually. With the help of my Mindflayer assistant Julvath she probed your mind in an attempt to better understand you and why you became the way you did." Ilassa answered Kimimaro in a warm and friendly tone.

"How? How were you able to access my mind? Only the Yamanaka clan have the ability to do such!" Kimimaro vehemently stated, reading himself in a battle stance.

"Please calm down Kimimaro. Again I assure you that we mean no harm." Ilassa assured Kimimaro.

"Then what do you plan to do to me?" Kimimaro asked the Lilim.

"We simply want you to accept our love." Ilassa answered him.

"I don't need your "love". My only loyalty is to Lord Jashin." Kimimaro sternly answered Ilassa as without warning, he attempted to strike her with a bone sword.

Ilassa merely dodged his attack. Attempting to attack again Ilassa entrapped Kimimaro within a cage made out of mana.

"What ninjutsu is this!?" Kimimaro asked Ilassa.

"Non ninjutsu, magic." Ilassa corrected him.

Kimimaro tightly gripped onto to the bars for a good ten seconds before releasing his hands from them and slumping to the ground.

"Lord Jashin...I have failed you once again. I deserve nothing less than death for my own incompetence." Kimimaro silently muttered to himself.

Ilassa, the woman named "Julvath" and the gelatin group of women looked on at Kimimaro with worried eyes, almost as if it hurt them that he thought so lowly of himself.

"Please do not say such things about yourself Kimimaro. There is more value to your life than being a servant to a being who only craves the destruction of our world." The gelatin woman spoke up in a soft and motherly voice.

"And why should I care about your world?" Kimimaro asked the Slime Queen.

"Why you ask? Because we simply want to create a world where hatred, suffering and despair will be nothing but a thing of the past." The Slime Queen told Kimimaro as she looked on at him with a caring expression.

"Your words are honeyed but false. Lord Jashin told me all about the empty promises you 'mamono' make." Kimimaro spat out.

"Lady Ilassa and Julvath, I politely request that I, my subjects and Kimimaro be given privacy please." The Slime Queen politely requested.

"Very well Ekitai. I shall comply with your request." Ilassa announced as she looked on at Kimimaro.

"Don't forget about those three humans from the forest Lady Ilassa. We still need to go inspect them and see how they are doing." Julvath stated in a sing song like voice.

"You're right Julvath, let's go." Ilassa answered as she and Julvath and turned around and made their way towards the exit.

Kimimaro on the other hand, was less than pleased at them leaving his presence. No, his knuckles turned white at the notion that these...things think they could probe his mind without his knowing and plan on interfering in Jashin's plans.

The cage that held Kimimaro disappeared as the two mamono neared the exit. Sensing his opportunity to strike the two mamono Kimimaro rushed toward them with bone sword in hand.

As he was about to reach the two a slimy substance entrapped Kimimaro. Looking at the exit he saw both the Lilim and Mindflayer seemingly teleport away.

"What is this substance? Release me at once!?" Kimimaro angrily demanded as he attempted to free himself from the slime that encased him.

"Only when you have learnt to accept the love we want to offer you my love." Ekitai the Slime Queen playfully answered Kimimaro, who was still struggling to move his body.

"Who is this "we" you speak of, and why do you call me your love?" Kimimaro asked Ekitai in a suspicious tone.

Ekitai merely giggled at Kimimaro's question as she approached him. Once she did three other slime girls, all well endowed but not as busty as the Slime Queen reappeared in front of Kimimaro.

"My my...such a handsome face.." Ekitai muttered as she caressed Kimimaro's face.

"Your majesty, he's so handsome!" One of Ekitai's servants cried out in joy as she took her turn to cup Kimimaro's face in her hands.

"Get your hands off of me." Kimimaro calmly ordered the Slime Queen and her servants to do.

"My apologies love but..." Ekitai gently caressed Kimimaro's bare chest, giggling whilst doing so.

"My slime is awfully sticky..." Ekitai lied as her lustful gaze met Kimimaro's enraged face.

"I demand you-"

Ekitai swiftly kissed Kimimaro on the lips. For a few seconds he was taken aback by this brash action and at first felt completely disgusted by this act. Kimimaro felt a weird tingly sensation in his stomach, almost like an urge the more this slime woman continued to kiss him. Was he enjoying it he asked himself.

Kimimaro's hands had seemingly developed a mind of their own as they caressed the slime Queen's voluptuous body. His hands squeezed her ass, causing her to cry out in surprise.

"You like it?" Ekitai slyly asked Kimimaro.

"N-no." Kimimaro snapped back. Gone was his cold and emotionless look on his face that he always wore, which was now one of a shy boy trying in vain to hide his arousal.

Kimimaro's mind: (What is this I;m feeling? It's a pleasurable sensation...I've never felt before in my life...)

"Awww but your face and lower head tell a different story my dear. You're blushing so much...it's so adorable..." Ekitai playfully said as the slimes around her giggled.

"Your majesty look! He's getting even more aroused!" One of the other slime servants called out as she noticed Kimimaro's erection.

"My dear have you...ever been with a woman before?" Ekitaki smugly asked Kimimaro as she began to grind herself on him.

"What!? No. What ridiculous question is-"

Ekitai's lips met with Kimimaro's once more, as she passionately kissed the white haired boy with more force this time.

"Come...let me show you what it's like to be with a woman..." Ekitai cooed as she slowly slid her vagina onto Kimimaro's penis, taking the silver haired shinobi's virginity.

"Ah!" Kimimaro moaned out in ecstasy. This new feeling was so completely overwhelming for him that he did not know how to react to it. Ekitai, smirking at having Kimimaro completely wrapped around her thumb continued to hop up and down Kimimaro's penis like a piston.

In only three minutes Kimimaro's breaths become heavy, and he had even taken charge now and began thrusting into her, a telltale sign that he was soon reaching his climax.

"Are you ready to cum dear? Let it all out, fill me with your said and make me yours." Ekitai seductively whispered into Kimimaro's ear.

"There is no point in denying your mind and body what it wants. You want me, and I want you. I and my servants can shower you with the love you so desperately need. You can become my husband, my king and rule over a beautiful slime kingdom alongside me. All of that can be yours, if you accept me into your heart and forever renounce Jashin and his wicked ways." Ekitai proposed to Kimimaro.

"Uhgh...I...I..." Kimiaro muttered out as Ekitai further increased the rate at which he rode him with.

"Hmmm? I take that as a yes? You must know, once a mamono makes a man cum she immediately becomes his wife." Ekitai informed Kimimaro.

Kimimaro seemingly ignored Ekitai's statement and continued to penetrate the Slime Queen. Her servants watch in keen interest and remained silent so as to not interrupt the Queen and her (and also soon to be their) husband.

"Come Kimimaro...let it all out! Fill me with your seed!" Ekitai cried out in pleasure as each thrust from Kimimaro made her mind go even more blank.

Kimimaro grunted and with one final thrust, poured all of his semen into Ekitai's slime body. For a good ten seconds they both squealed in ecstasy from their climax. Kimimaro breathed heavily once more before closing his eyes to rest and recover all the energy he had just spent.

"Sleep my love...for when you awake...you will be within a grand palace and the ruler of a new nation..." Ekitai cooed into Kimimaro's ear as she rested his head against her bosom.

(With Obito.)

Obito leaned against the balcony that overlooked the Hidden Mist village. It was deathly quiet mainly because most of the Kaguya Clan were slaughtered during the invasion of Heaven. The cool breeze allowed his long hair to blow through the wind, making him look vaguely similar to the man whose identity he had assumed for the last decade.

Obito heard footsteps echo behind him. Turning around he saw it was none other than Sasori.

The two men said nothing to each other as they both looked down on the Mist village bellow.

"I want to ask you a question, Obito." Sasori asked Obito, saying his name as if it were that of a foreign language.

"Go ahead." Obito said.

"Why did you call yourself Madara for all these years?" Sasori asked him.

"Why you ask? It was because I wanted to shed my old name and my old self who died in that cave years ago. And also because I needed a way to convice Pain to join the Eye of the Moon plan." Obito explained.

"Eye of the moon plan?" Sasori said curiously.

"It's nothing to me now. Just another empty dream put in my head by an empty wannabe god." Obito commented.

"Is it not funny?" Obito vaguely asked Sasori..

"Hmmm? What do you mean?" Sasori asked Obito.

"All of us...we were all nothing but pawns in a God's game." Obito stated with silent anger in his voice.

In the corner of his eye though, Sasori noticed a single tear flow down Obito's streak.

"The Chief God...she took everything from us and made us only empty shells of ourselves. What is this world to us? Nothing but a lie that's what. " Obito added.

"What purpose do we have in the world Sasori?" Obito asked the red haired ninja.

"There is no purpose in life, for we make our own." Sasori answered Obito.

"Purpose..." Obito muttered out as he stared at the sky. For a moment his mind was blank until his mind drifted to memories of Team 7 and then to the Chief God and Liltih.

"Lilith, her monsters and humanity...I'll kill them all and make them suffer like how I've suffered." Obito muttered under his breath as he grasped the railings tight.

"The truth as painful as it is will set you free. In time you will come to make peace with the truth as I have." Sasori said to Obito, as he continued to look down on the village.

"You there, I wanna ask you some questions." A new voice spoke up. Turning around both Obito and Sasori saw that said voice belonged to none other than Sasuke Uchiha.

"What do you want brat?" Sasori spat out, causing Sasuke's eyes to twitch.

"You there, with the black hair. I can tell from a mile away you're an Uchiha. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Sasuke accusingly asked Obito as he pointed a finger at him.

Obito chuckled.

"You want my name huh? Obito's my name, not that it means anything to me." Obito almost spat out at Sasuke.

"Obito?" Sasuke muttered out, trying to remember why that name sounded so familiar to him. After a few moments it finally clicked in his head, this was his former sensei's dead teammate.

But yet here he was, standing in front of him alive and mostly well. It did not make sense, did Obito fake his death? Was he miraculously rescued? Nothing added up and Sasuke demanded answers.

"Were you Kakashi Hatake's former teammate?" Sasuke asked Obito.

Obito scoffed before speaking up.

"Yes I was, but he and the entire leaf are all dead to me." Obito calmly answered Sasuke.

"How did you survive getting crushed by the rock? Kakashi told me that you died that day." Sasuke asked Obito, pressing him for answers.

Obito chuckled, before speaking once more.

"Oh I did die, on the inside that is. My old foolish naïve self did die that day. Madara saved me from certain doom, only to instead indoctrinate me in his own foolish beliefs. Madara and the Leaf, they're just two sides of the same coin." Obito answered Sasuke with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

"Madara Uchiha saved you? But how? I heard he perished in his fight against the first Hokage." Sasuke asked Obito once again, in clear disbelief that it was none other than the ghost of the Uchiha who had rescued Obito.

"Madara used Izanagi to reverse the fatal blow that the first Hokage was to deliver to him, and used the Gedo statue to keep himself alive until he found me. Once he did find me he trained me for a few months and once he saw I was ready he disconnected himself from the tree which ended his life." Obito explained.

Sasuke listened closely to Obito explain his brush with death and how he was effectively reborn. The pieces all slowly came together for it did help explain how the nine tails was controlled during the attack, but something still seemed off about this Obito, as if he were still hiding information from him.

"Now, I want to ask you a question Sasuke." Obito spoke up, snapping Sasuke out of deep thought.

"And what would that be?" Sasuke replied.

"You're not the same Sasuke from my timeline since he still a child. Tell me, what happened to you in your timeline that made you...like this?" Obito asked Sasuke.

"What happened you ask?" Sasuke muttered out as he activated his Sharingan whilst the wind blew.

"The Uchiha clan were massacred by my older brother Itachi under the orders of the Third Hokage. Itachi...he was forced to become a criminal and join the Akatsuki all for an ungrateful village that didn't even honour his sacrifices for them." Sasuke explained in a shaky voice.

For a moment Sasuke stopped to recollect his composure, before continuing.

"I'LL KILL THEM ALL FOR TAKING MY FAMILY FROM ME!" Sasuke roared out in anger, as even the birds resting atop the Mizukage building were startled by his sudden screaming.

A soft chuckling and clapping was heard coming from the entrance of the balcony.

"Did I come at a bad time?" Jashin asked in an innocent tone, accompanied by Indra and Deidara as he slowly walked towards Sasuke and the others.

"No you didn't. If anything you came at the perfect time." Sasori answered sarcastically.

"Good. Because I came here to announce how we will move forward from here." Jashin explained.

"You came all the way here just to tell us that? Why didn't you just send a messenger instead?" Sasori asked the former Demon Lord.

"Because only a fifth of the Kaguya clan are still alive and I need them to patrol the Mist." Jashin answered Sasori.

"Now Sasuke, are you ready to begin your mission?" Jashin asked Sasuke with a smirk.

"I'm as ready as I can be." Sasuke answered Jashin.

"Excellent. Indra will accompany and lead you and Deidara as not only does he have more experience and knowledge about my world, he claims that there is an ally there that he wants to make a formal alliance with." Jashin announced to Sasuke.

"An ally you say? And who is this guy hmmmm?" Deidara asked Jashin.

"His name is Tahir. He is a sultan of a city state named Shaharraq." Indra answered Deidara.

"Sultan? What's that hmmm?" Deidara asked Indra once more.

"To my knowledge a Sultan is Jashin's world's equivalent of a Daimyo." Indra stated.

"And how exactly will he be of use to us? How will a sultan help us against the likes of Shisui?" Sasuke asked Indra in an annoyed tone.

"You'll see soon enough, boy." Indra spat out towards Sasuke in a condescending tone.

The younger Uchiha though took note of the tone Indra spoke to him with, and had it not been for Jashin stepping between the two the situation could have quickly escalated into a fight.

Jashin needn't have said anything to the teenage Uchiha, as a simple glare was all it took for Sasuke to calm down and reconsider attacking Indra.

"You three shall be departing now. I wish you all the best of luck." Jashin announced to the trio of Sasuke, Indra and Deidara, completely brushing off the earlier incident as if it never happened.

Indra remained emotionless as ever as he was the first to leave the balcony. Following suit was Deidara who was smirking mischievous and lastly was Sasuke who wore his usual scowl.

Deidara and Sasuke were not too far behind Indra as the walked through the eerily quiet corridors of the Mizukage building. For a while there was only completely silence until Deidara spoke up.

"Hey. Indra was it hmmm?" Deidara nonchalantly asked Indra.

"Yes that is my name. What do you want?" Indra snapped back at Deidara.

"That Jashin guy mentioned something about monster girls and this person called Lilith. What are they hmmm?" Deidara inquired from Indra.

"To my understanding these so called "monster girls" a.k.a "mamono" are an all female species that evolved along with humans in Jashin's world. Supposedly they have a keen interest in humans, especially human men. " Indra summed up the mamono as simply as he could to Deidara.

"Why exactly do they even want men so much hmm?" Deidara nonchalantly commented.

"You'll understand soon enough once we head to Jashin's world." Indra firmly stated.

Whilst the trio were on their way to begin their mission, Jashin was currently in the Mizukage's office with the fifth "Mizukage" and Kaguya Clan leader Yoshanai Kaguya standing beside Obito Uchiha.

"Gentlemen as we all know...Kimimaro failed miserably at his task." Jashin stated in a calm tone that secretly seethed with anger as he paced up and down.

"My lord I...it's my fault...I never trained him properly enough. I promise I'll make sure that Kimimaro shall be killed for his incompetence." Yoshanai hastily answered the Former Demon Lord whilst kneeling down on one knee.

"Hmmm yes...that would be an appropriate punishment for that miserable waste of life.." Jashin agreed with Yoshanai as he continued to pace up and down the room.

"But...as much as I would desire to kill him now, we cannot, at least not yet. For I last sensed his chakra signature mingling with that of Lilith's whores and it is very likely he was captured by them."

For a few moments there was only silence until Jashin muttered out a "yes"

"There is a way...we can kill two, no three birds with one stone." Jashin said as he chuckled to himself.

"And that will involve you Obito..."

(?)

Shisui writhed around in pain as he tried his best to sleep. For the last few hours his right eye had been in such agonising pain that his head felt as it were going to split open at any moment.

"Ah!"

Shisui cried out as he shot up from the ground. Slowly adjusting his eyes, or rather his left eye since his right eye ached with pain whenever he tried to open it. For the time being he would remain blind in his right eye.

With his left eye though he could see the vague figures of three women sitting around a campfire. One of the three women, a pink haired werewolf rushed towards Shisui when she saw him sitting up from the futon he laid on.

"Human! Are you alright?" The werewolf asked Shisui in a warm and soothing tone as she placed her hand beneath his head.

"I-I'm fine. It's just-ah!" Shisui cried out in pain as he placed his hand over his right eye once more.

"Your eye? Why is it hurting you?" The werewolf asked Shisui as she took note of him clutching his eye.

"I used up too much chakra during a fight... the last I remember was fighting Damian in some kind of underwater base...I had just used Kotoamatsukami on him and everything went black..." Shisui muttered out.

Shisui's eyes widened in shock without warning, as he hastily got up from his futon.

"Where's Damian?" Shisui frantically asked aloud, as he looked for the double agent.

"Damian? Who is that?" The diminutive woman whom Shisui recognised as a member of the Gremlin race asked him.

"Damian is..." Shisui muttered out before going quiet. Still unconscious next to the Banshee that sat beside the Gremlin was indeed Damian.

"That's him." Shisui confirmed as he pointed towards Damian's unconscious form.

"When we found you and Damian we noticed that he had severe burns all over his body. Why was that? Were the both of you engaged in combat before our arrival?" The pink haired werewolf asked Shisui as she cautiously stroked his cheek.

"That man he...he was the masked killer who was murdering all of those innocents. So I had to stop him." Shisui explained himself as he looked on at Damian.

"He was the masked killer who killed those humans in our name?" The Gremlin asked Shisui.

"Yes he was. Unfortunately I failed to stop him from also murdering most of the Royal Family..." Shisui muttered out as he looked at the ground, regretting how he was unable to save the King, Queen and three of the princess from Damian's wrath.

"That's horrible." The Gremlin commented as she looked at the fire intently.

"Why? Why did he do that to his own kind? Does he not know that us mamono despise murder?" The Banshee muttered out as she now stroked Damian's hair while he slept.

"He told me...that he saw the cruelty of humans first hand with how they slaughtered any mamono they came across and views all humans as irredeemable." Shisui answered the Banshee as he sat down near the fire.

Both the Werewolf and Banshee gasped in horror at Shisui's revelation, whilst the Gremlin looked at him with a saddened expression but chose not to say anything.

Shisui's eyes widened in shock, as if he had just remembered a very important detail that he had forgotten.

"Lescatie! Is it alright!? Did Druella succ-" Shisui asked frantically, before the searing pain in his right eye flared once again, causing him to fall onto one knee and hold his right eye in agony.

"Shisui! You shouldn't exert yourself!" The pink haired werewolf said in a worried tone as she held Shisui in her arms.

"You are not fully recovered yet and you still need plenty of rest." She advised him as she picked up Shisui and placed him back onto the futon.

"H-how do you know my name?" Shisui asked the pink werewolf as he laid on the futon.

"You're famous all over the Demon Realm for your heroic actions Shisui." The pink haired werewolf answered Shisui as she began to stroke his hair.

"Where are my manners? I am Mavi and that is Martha and Juliet." Mavi introduced herself as she gestered towards Martha.

"Mavi...a pleasure to meet you." Shisui said as he smiled at Mavi.

"Likewise. Now to answer your question-"

"Druella was successful in liberating Lescatie." Martha interrupted Mavi.

"T-that's good to hear. H-how long ago was t-that?" Shisui asked in an exasperated voice.

"It only happened last night child. Why. Were you worried that were unconscious for days?" Mavi affectionately asked Shisui.

"T-that's good to know..." Shisui croaked out.

"I must say you recover exceptionally quick. Much much faster than any normal human." Mavi commented.

"Heh, you can thank my Uchiha blood for that." Shisui joked as he flashed a grin.

Shisui's joy was short lived however as his facial expression quickly change to a somber one. Shisui's mind filled with thoughts about a certain turquoise haired priest. Mavi noticed this sudden shift in mood, and asked the young Uchiha what was bothering him.

"It's...nothing." Shisui lied as he looked up at the roof of the abandoned building where he, Damian and the three other mamono set up camp.

"Are you sure? You can talk to me if anything is bothering you, I will not judge." Mavi assured Shisui.

"Thank you Mavi. But right now...this is something I have to face alone." Shisui offered a vague answer to Mavi.

A low groan was heard coming from Damian, as he slowly rose up from the futon where he lay.

Damian looked around in confusion before his vision became good enough to properly identify that he, three mamono and Shisui were all inside the ruins of an abandoned building.

"Where am I...?" Damian asked in a gravelly voice.

"The ruins of the once great Elven city of Asfaleia." Martha answered Damian.

"We rescued you after finding you and Shisui unconscious in a highly advanced laboratory underneath the water. I could immediately sense you...you were dying and had third degree burns all over your body. So I used my magic to heal you." Juliet further explained as she affectionally placed a hand on Damian's shoulder.

"You shouldn't have saved me, you should have left me to die." Damian muttered out.

All three mamono looked on at Damian in shock at his words.

"W-why?" Juliet asked in disbelief.

"Because I don't deserve to live after killing so many mamono when I was a part of the Order." Damian answered Juliet.

Juliet looked on at Damian sadly as she gently caressed his cheek. Damian tried his best to rebuff her affection which in turn caused Juliet to double down on.

"Please, would you give us a moment of privacy?" Juliet asked Martha, Mavi and Shisui.

"Absolutely. Come, let us head head usptairs to the roof, I think fresh air is just what you will need." Mavi answered as she exited the room with Shisui.

"You said you were a part of the Order yes? Tell me, do you still desire to kill mamono now that you know the truth about us?" Juliet asked Damian.

"What? No I-"

Juliet interrupted Damian with a soft and tender kiss on the lips.

"I forgive you." Juliet muttered softly.

"Why? Why do you forgive me?" Damian asked in disbelief.

"Because I know that humans can always change. Just look at yourself for example, you were once a monster hating member of the Order who upon learning the true nature of us strived to protect no matter what." Juliet explained to Damian.

"But murdering innocent humans was never the way. By allowing hatred of your own species to dictate your actions you had allowed yourself to become the very monsters you accused them of being." Juliet wisely told Damian, as she pulled him into a gentle embrace.

Whilst Damian and Juliet shared a bonding moment, Shisui stood on the rooftop of the decrepit building where he awoke only a few minutes ago.

Shisui's mind: (This city looked completely ruined. Who or what caused this? From the looks of the building It's as if it was invaded and the population abandoned the city and left it to rot...)

Shisui recalled the conversation he had with Maylin over a month ago, when she had shown him a vision of this exact city. It all finally clicked, this was Asfaleia, the highly advanced city states of the Elves before it was completely destroyed during the failed Elven rebellion against the Original Chief God.

"Mind if I join?" Mavi's voice spoke up behind Shisui.

"Sure. I could use the company." Shisui answered Mavi.

"I wonder how this city looked like during it's heyday, before all the destruction and overgrown weeds took over these marvelous structures." Mavi stated upon joining Shisui and looking down at the ruined city with him.

"I'm guessing that this city was once highly advanced, even more so than my own world." Shisui truthfully responded.

"Is that so? Was your own world lacking in technological advancement?" Mavi asked Shisui.

"It's hard to say really. While in my world we did have inventions such as electricity it was nowhere near as advanced as this city. The towers here soar high into the sky while back home a building rarely ever reached five floors tall." Shisui answered.

"I see. If I am not mistaken your world also had magic to compensate for the lack of technological advancement yes?" Mavi further enquired, eager to learn more about Shisui's world.

"You could say so yeah. Although our "magic" is called Ninjutsu which depending on the user can either be used to accomplish great things or committ the most heinous acts you could possibly think of." Shisui stated.

Mavi hummed and nodded in agreement. She delved back into her thoughts and soaked in Shisui's words like a sponge.

"I do find it admirable that you never chose to go down the path of evil no matter what. It's such a shame that more humans aren't like you." Mavi complemented the young Uchiha.

"I always strive to be the best person I can be and help everyone I can reach out to. That is my nindo, my ninja way." Shisui proudly exclaimed.

Mavi tried her best to hide a deep blush that had formed on her face. Shisui's pure hearted dedication to upholding and protecting what was good about the world left a deep impression on her. She had only known him for approximately 12 hours and yet in their first proper conversation he spoke to her as if she were an old friend. She had heard how many in the Demon Realms held Shisui in very high regard, with some even naming him "Shisui the protector". Mavi had even heard rumours about how one of the Demon Lord's daughters had fallen for Shisui and requested his hand in marriage. Whether or not he accepted her proposal though, remained a mystery to her.

"Shisui...I know we just met but...can promise me something?" Mavi anxiously asked Shisui.

"Sure. What is it?" The young Uchiha enquired.

"Can you promise me that no matter what you'll never lose your good heart?" Mavi requested of Shisui.

Flashing her a smile and thumbs up, Shisui assured Mavi that he would never change no matter what.

(?: Let me out...)

Shisui felt a shiver go down his spine. He could have sworn for a split second he heard a voice in his head that eerily sounded like his, only more menacing speak to him telepathically.

(?: Don't deny me...you know who I am...I am the you that you've tried to suppress for all these years...I am the real you. You can't pretend after what Sasha told us that we'd simply be able to move on as if nothing had ever happened...I know you hate him with every fibre of our body for taking Sasha away from us...)

Gasping in shock at what this voice told him, Shisui tried his best to ignore the voice in his head.

"You're wrong! It's not like that!" Shisui angrily exclaimed as Mavi looked on at him with a deeply worried expression.

"Shisui...what's wrong? Who are you talking to?" She asked him as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I don't-" Shisui tried to answer Mavi as without warning, he ran away from her and headed back downstairs. The way his body moved felt unnatural, almost as if someone where controlling him like a puppet. His body continued to seemingly move on it's own until arrived face to face in front of a partially broken mirror.

However in the reflection Shisui noticed that his own reflection had black sclera and slightly more ruffled hair than his own. The doppelganger in the mirror acted on his own and immediately began to smirk before speaking once more

(?: You know who I'm talking about...that bastard Elt...you and I...both hate him, we both want to see his head crushed in with a brick.)

"W-who the hell are you!?" Shisui interrogated his doppelganger.

The doppelganger chuckled at Shisui's question.

"Me? Why I'm you of course. But if you want a "name" to call me by you can call me "Dark" Shisui as I am your inner negative thoughts." Dark Shisui answered Shisui.

"My inner negative thoughts? But that's not possible I-"

"Thought you got rid of me when Sariel attempted to convert us to her cult? You couldn't be more wrong...have you already forgotten the sight of Alameria with metal hooks on her back, as she lay beaten to a bloodied pulp on the cold hard floor? Or Danzo and the Leaf double-crossing us and trying to stop up from saving our clan?" Dark Shisui asked Shisui.

Shisui's eyes widened in shock as he recalled the memory of when he saved Alameria from certain death. Her back was filled with metal hooks that pierced into her skin. Shisui held his fists in anger as he remembered learning that it was the Order who had sadistically tortured her throughout the night she was imprisoned. Danzo's sneering face flashed through his head as well. Upon seeing his facial expression of barely contained rage Dark Shisui chuckled once more.

"So you do remember then. Perhaps you are brighter than I thought. I know you better than you know yourself, you loathe the Order...hence why you beat those guards to near death when they first discovered us in the dungeons beneath Lescatie am I right?" Dark Shisui asked his counterpart once more.

Shisui continued to say nothing, as the more he recalled these memories the more angrier it made him. Dark Shisui saw this as a sign that his words were getting through to his counterpart, and continued to speak once more.

"Deep down you and I both know that aside from Sasha and our clan the rest of humanity deserves to suffer for it's sins. You and I both want to see them brought to their knees and be killed like the dogs they are as payback for all the mamono they killed...an eye for an eye...a fair punishment wouldn't you agree?"

Shsui's fist connected with the mirror from where Dark Shisui was, completely shattering it into dozens of pieces.

Mavi had finally located Shisui after frantically searching for him throughout the building. She looked on in confusion at seeing Shisui standing in front of a broken mirror with a bloodied right hand and panting heavily.

"Shisui? What happened? Are you ok?" Mavi worryingly asked Shisui as she immediately attended to his bloodied hand.

"I...am..." Shisui muttered out uncertainly.

"Are you sure? You don't sound alright." Mavi replied as she caressed Shisui's face.

"I'm fine Mavi. I just...remembered that there was a friend of mine from Lescatie who went missing a few days ago." Shisui said in a hushed tone as Mavi began healing his hand using her magic.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Who is this friend you are looking for Shisui?" Mavi asked him.

"Her name is Primera. She's a half elf. I made a promise to myself that I would find her." Shisui stated.

"Primera...Primera." Mavi muttered out, repeating her name as if she had distinctly heard it from somewhere.

"I know that name! She had long green hair in two ponytails correct?" Mavi asked Shisui.

"Yes that's her! When did you see her!" Shisui excitedly asked Mavi.

"Yesterday evening. While I was with Martha as she tinkered with one of her inventions we hid behind some pillars. I saw Primera with a garrison of Order soldiers and they mentioned that they'd be heading to Akreo." Mavi replied.

"Akreo? Hmmm I've never heard of such a city before." Shisui honestly admitted.

"It is my home, well my former home before I was exiled from there." Mavi revealed to Shisui.

"You used to live in Akreo?" Shisui curiously asked Mavi.

"Yes I did my child. A long time ago...when I was still a human priest of the Order." Mavi answered is a wistful tone.

"So you were a former human who became a mamono?" Shisui said in awe.

"Yes I was...but that is a story...for another time." Mavi said to Shisui.

"If it is a sensitive topic I understand, I won't ask you any further questions if you're not comfortable with them." Shisui assured Mavi.

"Thank you Shisui. Now then, let us help find your friend now shall we?"

Elsewhere at Maylin's palace in Monaxia, the newly arrived Uchiha and the mamono residents were deeply worried about not hearing from Shisui in over 12 hours.

In the palace gardens that held a splendid view of Monaxia down below sat on one of it's many benches a certain purple eyed Elf with greenish blonde hair sat in deep thought.

"Oh Shisui...where are you?" Ghilanna muttered to herself as rocked herself back and forth on the bench.

"Ugghh! I can't take it anymore! I need to go discuss this matter with Lady Maylin at once!" Ghilanna passionately declared. Wasting no time she practically ran inside the palace and navigated it's many corridors to eventually find Queen Maylin's personal chamber.

So eager was she to reach Maylin's chamber, that she did not see the Kikimora walking down the corridor and accidentally bumped into her.

"My sincere apologies, are you alright?" Ghilanna asked the Kikimora, who rubbed her head in confusion.

"I am fine Lady Ghilanna. Just a little perplexed at why you are in such a hurry." The Kikimora politely asked Ghilanna as she picked up her broom and mop that had fallen.

"I desire to discuss to Lady Maylin about organizing a search party to find Shisui. He hasn't been heard or seen from since the liberation of Lescatie last night." Ghilanna frantically answered the Kikimora as once she had risen to her feat again immediately darted towards Maylin's bedroom.

Finally arriving at the entrance to Maylin's bedroom Ghilanna frantically knocked on it. After a few seconds and with no answer she knocked once more, this time with more urgency. After knocking the second time Ghilanna concluded that if no one was answering it meant that Maylin was likely in her dining room receiving guests.

Rushing towards the dining room of the palace Ghilanna made it there in no less than three minutes. When arriving there she noticed that to her relief Maylin was there, and was currently engaged in conversation with none other than Druella, the fourth daughter of the Demon Lord and de facto Queen of Lescatie.

"Ghilanna. What brings you here?" Maylin asked Ghilanna in a warm manner.

"I-it's about Shisui your majesty! No one has heard from him in over 12 hours! Please we must organise a search party to find him as soon as possible!" Ghilanna stammered out.

"Ah we were just discussing that matter shortly before you entered young elf." Druella answered Ghilanna.

"You...already organised a search party for Shisui Lady Druella?" Ghilanna asked Druella, as she took in deep breaths.

"Yes we are...Lady Maylin and I were just discussing who were going to add to the search par-"

"Please may I join the search party!" Ghilanna interrupted Druella.

"(Chuckle) Absolutely dear, Lady Maylin and I already suggested adding you as a member of the search party." Druella informed Ghilanna as she rubbed her head.

"I must say, the way you get so excited is akin to that of the human children when I would gift them sweets." Druella playfully told Ghilanna as she flashed a wide grin.

"Lady Druella I'm not that young! I'm 38 years old, a grown woman!" Ghilanna pouted whilst crossing her arms.

"Ahhh but I'm already in my early 900s dear, so to me you are still a child." Druella smugly reminded Ghilanna.

"Ahem" Maylin coughed to gain Druella and Ghilanna's attention.

"Ghilanna. Since you are already here I hereby task you with gathering members for Shisui's search party." Maylin announced.

"Thank you, Lady Maylin." Ghilanna said in a formal manner as she kneeled in front of Maylin.

"It is my pleasure. I have faith in you that you will find Shisui and bring him back to safety. You are now dismissed" Maylin told Ghilanna. The younger Elf, beaming with hope, said her goodbyes as she immediately bolted out of the palace throne room and towards the main town of Monaxia.

A few minutes later and Ghilanna finally arrived outside of a large building where the Uchiha clan crest was proudly on display at the entrance. Knocking on the door, albeit not as frantically from when she was searching for Queen Maylin the door opened a few seconds later to reveal none other than Mikoto Uchiha who had opened the door.

"Good day. How may I help you?" Mikoto politely asked Ghilanna.

"Good day to you as well ma'am. There is an urgent matter I need to discuss with the members of your clan. It is concerning Shisui, he has not been heard from for approximately 12 hours now and I have been instructed by Queen Maylin to organise a search party to find him." Ghilanna informed Maylin.

Mikoto's eyes widened in shock for a brief moment.

"Follow me." She instructed Ghilanna, who did as instructed. Arriving at the living room Ghilanna noticed the leader of the Uchiha clan Fugaku reading a book.

"Fugaku dear...Shisui's friend is here and she has something important to discuss with you." Mikoto informed Fugaku.

Looking up at Mikoto and Ghilanna, Fugaku placed down his book.

"What is the matter?" Fugaku asked Ghilanna in his usual stiff tone as he took another puff from his cigar.

"Shisui is missing Lord Fugaku. He has not been heard from in over 12 hours," Ghilanna informed Fugaku.

"That is rather concerning. When was he last seen?" Fugaku asked Ghilanna.

"Just outside the city walls of Lescatie yesterday evening Lord Fugaku. He was last seen engaged in combat with a man who had long blonde hair and when Lady Druella and her allies where about to intervene in their fight he grabbed and teleported Shisui and himself away." Ghilanna answered Fugaku.

"Hmmmm...alright. I will gather some clan members to organise a search party to find Shisui. Meet me in the clan assembly hall in 15 minutes." Fugaku instructed Ghilanna.

"I shall do that Lord Fugaku, I am ever grateful for your assistance." Ghilanna thanked Fugaku as she bowed respectfully in front the Uchiha clan leader.

15 minutes later and Ghilanna eager waited for Fugaku to arrive. Pacing up and down her mind wandered where in the world Shisui could be.

The wooden doors opened, with Fugaku, Itachi and and a man and woman she presumed were likely members of the Uchiha clan.

"Ghilanna, you will be accompanied by Itachi, Naori and Inabi to find Shisui." Fugku announced to Ghilanna.

Ghilanna gave Fugaku a nod of approval as she approached the three Uchiha who would be helping her find Shisui.

"A pleasure to see you again Itachi." Ghilanna greeted Itachi as she offered him a handshake.

"Likewise." Was all Itachi said.

"I'm Ghilanna Qinmaer, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ghilanna introduced herself to Naori.

"Naori Uchiha, a delight to meet you." Naori answered Ghilanna.

"My name is-"

"We know who you are." Inabi snapped back, scowling at Ghilanna with his arms crossed.

Ghilanna was taken back by Inabi's unexpected hostility, but chose to ignore it for the sake of the mission.

"Inabi, don't be rude." Naori reprimanded Inabi.

"Tchh whatever Naori. I didn't come here for a meet and greet, I came here because one of my fellow clansmen is missing and possibly in danger." Inabi snapped back at Naori.

"Inabi!" Fugaku barked out, getting Inabi's attention.

"You will not show such impoliteness to our hosts. Had you so quickly forgotten where it not for them that we'd all be dead right now?" Fugaku angrily reminded Inabi.

"But Lord Fugaku, when have anyone else ever shown us such kindness without having any ulterior motives?" Inabi asked Fugaku.

"Hashirama Senju." Was all Fugaku said as he crossed his arms.

"He only wanted a truce with us so he could create a village where the Senju and their allies would oppress us. Then after he died his racist brother effectively barred us from all higher up positions in the Leaf and only gave us the police force to manage." Inabi passionately exclaimed.

Fugaku closed his eyes. He could feel his irritation from Inabi's distrustful nature building up.

"Inabi. While I will do agree that our clan had been unjustly ostracized ever since the Leaf's founding I believe we cannot allow the past to dictate our future. It is undeniable that Tobirama did hold prejudice against the Uchiha but you forget one thing. These people who offered us a new home are not Tobirama, Danzo or any of the Leaf village elders that discriminated against us. Ever since our arrival here they have given us no reason to distrust them and have instead treated us with nothing but kindness. We owe them our eternal gratitude for saving us from almost certain doom." Fugaku said in a calm voice, leaving Itachi, Naori and even Ghilanna in awe at his words.

Ghilanna smiled at Fugaku coming to the defense of her kind. His speech touched her heart and reminded her of how noble humans could be.

"I will no longer continue this unnecessary quarrel with you. It is up to you to listen to my words or not Inabi." Fugaku further added, making the now quiet Inabi grunt.

"Father, before we begin our mission I would like to add two more people to our search party." Itachi spoke up.

"Hmm? Who are these two people you have in mind Itachi?" Fugaku asked his eldest son.

"Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy." Itachi answered.

"Might Guy? Why would you want that clown to join us?" Inabi asked Itachi.

"Don't underestimate Guy. While on the outside he may come across as a buffoon on the battlefield is a very powerful adversary." Itachi said to Inabi.

"I'll trust your word Itachi. But if he screws up on the mission you will hold full accountability for it." Inabi told Itachi.

"Understood." Itachi simply answered Inabi as he glared at him. Without another word the group immediately left the building to find Kakashi and Guy, wherever they were.

"Naori, can you sense Kakashi's chakra signature?" Itachi asked Naori as they continued to jump from rooftop to rooftop.

"No not yet.." Naori replied as she continued to keep her eyes peeled for Kakashi.

"We must keep looking, We'll find him-"

"Itachi! I've picked up Kakashi's chakra signature somewhere from the park northeast of here!" Naori informed Itachi,

"Good work Naori." Itachi congratulated Naori as he and the group jumped from the rooftops to the trees of the park.

To Itachi's relief he and the group eventually found Kakashi, leaning against a bridge where a small river flowed below.

"Kakashi." Itachi simply said, gaining the copycat ninja's attention.

"Itachi? What brings you here?" Kakashi muttered out nonchalantly as he continued to look up at the trees.

"Sorry for bothering you Kakashi. I, no we need you help." Itachi answered Kakashi.

"My help? For a mission I presume?" Kakashi said as he now turned his attention to Itachi.

"Yes. On behalf of the Uchiha clan we request your assistance to join our search party to find Shisui." Naori now spoke up.

"Shisui's missing? Isn't he dead? You said you saw him take his own life." Kakashi asked Itachi.

"I did but...things changed. I learnt from him that a higher power gave him a second chance at life to rewrite his own destiny." Itachi answered Kakashi. Kakashi looked on at Itachi with a confused expression, having no clue what Itachi meant.

"I'll explain on the way Kakashi, but if you do not feel like joining our search party to find Shisui I will not hold it against you, for we did bring you here against your will." Itachi further added.

"I'll...join you." Kakashi confirmed his answer.

"Thank you Kakashi, your help is truly appreciated." Itachi thanked the elder jonin as he bowed respectfully.

"It's the least I can do. I already lost a friend of mine...and I won't let you experience the same loss I have." Kakashi declared with renewed determination.

"Now that only leaves Guy to find. Ghilanna, do you know where Guy was last seen?"

"Hmmm...I recall he was last at Monaxia's Himezumi dojo to practice his fighting skills, perhaps we could check there?" Ghilanna suggested.

"We have no further leads and knowing Guy, he's likely there." Naori commented as the group darted up the trees to find Might Guy.

The group, now including Kakashi, made their way towards where Might Guy was reportedly last seen, the local Himezumi dojo.

"The power of youth prevails once again!" Guy's loud and boisterous voice boomed in the distance.

"Yep that's Guy all right." Naori chuckled, as she and the others followed Guy's voice.

Finally arriving at the entrance of the dojo Itachi was the first to knock on the dojo's doors.

The diminutive Himezumi opened the doors. She looked at Itachi with a slightly unamused expression, before literally turning their frowns upside-down.

"Welcome! Are you here to embrace the fire of youth!?" The Himezumi said joivally.

"No, but we do desire to see your "sensei". We're old friends of his." Itachi answered the Himezumi.

"Oh really? Prove it then. If you can I'll take you to Guy sensei." The Himezumi smugly demanded of the group.

Kakashi stepped forward, the group was supripsed but allowed him to do so, believing he had a way to convince the Himezumi to let him in.

"Ask Guy if he remembers Kakashi. And if he says yes tell him to come outside." Kakashi asked the Himezumi.

"And why should I listen to you cyclops?" The Himezumi snapped back at Kakashi.

"Alright. I didn't wanna do this but..."

Kakashi pulled out his copy of Icha-Icha paradise. The Himezumi looked on at the book in a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

A soft chuckled came from Kakashi as his body disappeared in a poof of smoke.

The real Kakashi was already next to Guy, who was so focused with his current Taijutsu lesson of Himezumi students that he had failed to notice Kakashi right next to him.

"Hey Guy." Kakashi said nonchalantly as he took out his copy of icha Icha Paradise to read, causing Guy to jump from surprise.

"K-Kakashi? How did you get in!? How did you sneak up on me!?" Guy asked Kakashi in his usual loud voice.

"Substitution justu, the oldest trick in the book. You really should train your students better Guy." Kakashi told Guy.

"Kakashi, my eternal rival always finding a way to outsmart me." Guy stated as Kakashi barely paid him any mind.

"So Kakashi...what brings you here?" Guy asked the copycat shinobi, now in a serious tone.

"Itachi told me that Shisui went missing a few hours ago, so he's gathering a search party to find him." Kakashi explained to Guy.

"Shisui's missing?" Guy muttered out in disbelief, as even the class he taught was dead quiet with all of his students listening to their conversation with keen interest.

"I don't know how he went missing Guy. But from what Itachi and his friend told me the way he did was very...off." Kakashi stated.

"Off? You suspect that foul play was involved?" Guy asked Kakashi in a concerned tone.

"I suspect so. Shisui was one of Konoha's most skilled jonin guy and it's not like him to just "disappear"." Kakashi said.

"Well then in that case...it is our responsibility to find our missing comrade!" Guy declared loudly as everyone else covered their ears.

"Why I oughta..." Inabi irritably muttered out as he rubbed his ears.

Guy comically ran out the dojo, with the entire search party not far behind him.

(Several hours later...Location: Unknown)

Two men stood on a hilltop overlooking the vast forest. The two men in question were Yoshanai Kaguya, 5th Mizukage of the Village Hidden in the Mist and leader of the Kaguya Clan and the other was Obito Uchiha.

"So many potential sacrifices for Lord Jashin...hehe I can almost feel my skin crawling with excitement!" Yoshanai cackled as he unsheathed his bone scythe.

"We will have time for that later. Now however we still need to catch them first and finish what Kimimaro couldn't." Obito muttered out as he continued to look at the forest below.

"Absolutely. You Uchihas are experts at Genjutu and I doubt that those pesky Cloud ninja or Mangetsu will be able to dispell it before it's too late for them." Yoshanai stated.

"But if in the event they do... I'll just take of them." Yoshanai laughed like a madman as he swiped his scythe in the air once again.

Shruging indifferently at Yoshanai's comments Obito continued to keep his senses sharpened for whenever both the Cloud ninja and Mangetsu got close to his and Yoshanai's location.

"I've found them." Obito muttered out as he used his Kamui to teleport himself and the Kaguya clan leader towards the location to where the Cloud ninja and Mangetsu had supposedly been spotted.

Elsewhere the Cloud chunin were currently jumping from treetop to treetop, having sensed once of those "monster girls" trying to capture them.

"I gotta say, that trick of yours was pretty neat Samui. Using that jutsu of yours to create fake clones to act as decoys was really useful. Man how I wish I could the see the looks on their faces when they realised we gave them the good ol' slip." C smugly stated.

"Don't get too cocky C. We still have to keep a look out for them." Samui warned C.

"Relax Samui, what's the worst that could-"

Samui had barely dodged another on comer from colliding into her by quickly moving to the left. When she looked back she noticed that the indiviual she had almost literally butted heads with was none other than Mangetsu Hozuki, the last living member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist who hadn't gone rouge and next to him a young boy of 9 or 10 years of age who was almost a spitting image of Mangetsu.

"Mangetsu Hozuki? What the hell are you doing here?" Samui asked the silver haired shinobi.

"I should be asking you the same question. What are Cloud shinobi doing here?" Mangestu asked Samui as he held the hilt of his blade in the event the Cloud Chunin turned hostile.

"We were getting as far away as possible from those so called "monsters" then we sensed-"

C barely dodged a scythe that was aimed for his head, with a part of it even almost slicing his cheek.

"What the hell?" C cried out.

The man who almost decapitated him however merely stared at C with a psychotic look and began laughing manically.

"What's your problem asshole? Didn't your mother teach you not to interrupt when others are speaking?" C sarcastically asked the bone scythe wielding Kaguya clan leader.

"Hey C, something looks off about this guy." Darui commented as he unsheathed his sword.

"Yeah, he looks almost exactly like those..." C's eyes widened as he quickly realised who his new foe was.

"Those bone psychos who took over the Hidden Mist village..." He muttered in a low breath.

"Very clever C. You truly are an observant shinobi." A new voice applauded C.

The Cloud Chunin and Mangetsu all look up at the trees where the voice came from and spotted another individual. one who wore a grey kimono had a white gunbai strapped to his back and most notably wore a white mask that had a spiral pattern on it.

"Oh great, a new guy, and who do you happen to be?" Darui asked the white masked individual.

"Me? I used to go by many names in the past. My original name...Madara Uchiha...Tobi...but you may call me...The Fallen." The Fallen introduced himself.

"The Fallen? And what exactly is your goal?" Mangetsu asked The Fallen.

"Simple really. I want to see this world burn." The Fallen revealed his intentions.

"You just want to see the world burn? And you think we're just gonna step aside and watch you destroy everything in your path?" C angrily asked The Fallen.

"No. I know that you and your friends would attempt a feeble resistance hence why I am here to cut off any loose ends which in simpler terms, means I'm here to kill you." The Fallen calmly stated.

"Like hell I'm ever gonna let that happen! Samui! Darui! Let's dust this fucker!"

"Gale Style: Laser Circus!" Darui cried out as various beams of blue light shot out of his hands and beelined towards The Fallen.

"Suigetsu! Get behind me!" Mangetsu advised his younger brother as he unsheathed Hiramekarei.

Mangetsu was quick to counter the bone scythe of Yoshanai. The two shinobi's blades locked with one another. Mangetsu broke the deadlock with a swift backflip before doing various hand seals.

"Steaming Danger Tyranny Boy!" Mangetsu yelled as a miniature clone of himself dashed towards the Kaguya clan leader.

Yoshanai, smirking, merely jumped up in the air and fired several bone projectiles at Mangetsu, who promptly dodged them by liquefying his body.

Once reforming himself shortly after Yoshanai's bone barrage had ended Mangetsu gestured his hands to mimic a pistol and responded with his own water bullet assault.

The Kaguya clan leader dodged Mangetsu's water bullets and attempted a close range strike with his bone scythe, which Mangetsu blocked with his own Hiramekarei.

Mangetsu's mind: (I'm not gonna win at this rate. The more I fight the more I put Suigetsu at risk. I need to find a way to escape)

Mangetsu quickly realised a way out of this situation; utilising the signature jutsu of his village.

"Hidden Mist jutsu!" Mangetsu cried out after doing various hand signs. The entire area was filled with a thick mist, giving him the necessary window to escape with his brother.

"Ahhhhhh! Damn you you slippery snake! You can't run away forever!" Yoshanai cried out as he tried to find Mangetsu's chakra signature to no avail, as the former swordsmen had escaped his and Jashin's grasp once again.

Meanwhile Samui, Darui and C were currently engaged in combat with Obito. The Cloud chunin were all gasping in exhaustion as no matter how many jutsu they used, it just phased through the man as if he were a ghost.

"I've never (pant) faced anyone like this guy (pant) we need a new (pant) strategy to beat him." Darui was the first to suggest as he knelt on one knee.

"Indeed. We (pant) cannot fight him at (pant) long range. We (pant) need to use Taijutsu." Samui answered Darui.

"I must say I am most disappointed. I expected much more from the students of the late Killer Bee." Obito said to the Cloud Chunin.

"Bastard! Who the hell do you think you are mentioning Bee-sensei's name?" C angrily asked as he lunged at Obito and to his team-mates surprise, landed a clean punch on his face.

For a few seconds Obito's head was turned sideways from the punch before turning it to face C.

"Who am I you say?" Obtio asked C in a tone that seethed with anger as he caught his fist the second time, twisting his arm in the process.

"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

With a sickening crunch Obito broke C's arm, causing the cloud ninja to scream loudly in pain. Obito then followed up by punching C through the chest.

C coughed up blood as he looked up at Obito with a hate filled glare, Obito's clothes were almost completely dyed red from C's blood but the Fallen Uchiha paid little mind to that fact and tossed C's corpse at his teammates as if he were a piece of paper.

Samui and Darui stared that their comrade's corpse in disbelief for a few seconds that felt like hours. Their brains still processing losing yet another team-mate in the span of only a few hours.

"You...you're dead!" Darui exclaimed as he generated a black lightning around his body.

"Gale style: Black Hunting!" He angrily said as a lightning panther formed out of the black lightning and charged at Obito.

Obito looked on at the black panther with indifference as he swiftly dodged the attack.

Seeing his attack being dodged with little effort Darui dashed towards the masked Obito to attack him with his sword, with Samui doing so likewise

Catching Darui's sword with his hands, Obito kicked the dark skinned Chunin into a nearby tree, leaving him to deal solely with blonde kunoichi.

After getting kicked into the tree Darui quickly recovered as his eyes widened once again when he saw the masked man about to stab Samui with the weapon on his back. Time had seemed to slow down for Darui as he ran as quick as he could to save Samui. He was to his dismay too late as in only a split second Obito had decapitated Samui with his gunbai.

"All that nonsense about self sacrifice our villages taught us are nothing but lies. It only takes one bad day for a person's world to shatter and fall beyond the point of no return. Everybody has their breaking point where we become shells of our former selves. I learnt that the hard way, and you will too." Obito told Darui.

"Like hell I'd ever become like you!" Darui snapped back as he channeled lightning in his blade to strike it with Obito once more.

Obito dodged his various strikes once again with relative ease, enraging Darui further.

"Come out and face me you coward! I'll send you to the deepest pits of hell!" Darui angrily called out for Obito.

Obito used his Kamui ability to teleport behind Darui, using the element of surprise to best the Cloud ninja.

Darui swiftly turned around and spotted the masked Uchiha, landing a swift roundhouse kick on him to send him flying a good 5 metres ahead.

"I'm gonna tear you apart limb from limb..." Darui walked slowly towards Obito and declared in a dangerous tone as black lightning flicked across his body.

Yoshanai attempted to land a sucker punch on Darui, who swiftly countered it by twisting his arm and landing a flurry of hate filled punches directed at the Kaguya clan leader's abdomen. Despite his immortality granted to him by Jashin he still felt every single punch delivered to him by the enraged Cloud Chunin. Yoshanai thought to himself that had he not been immortal, he surely would have died.

Yoshanai felt as though several holes were punched in his chest and the pain was nigh unberabale. Collapsing onto the ground he could only whimper as the pain prevented him from even moving a finger.

"Lord Jashin...I will not let you down...I will not let...your gift go to waste..." Yoshanai muttered out as he got up back on his feet with sheer willpower. Despite his kimono being almost completely tattered and stained with blood. He gave a cocky smirk towards Darui, singalling that he was still ready to fight and nowehere near ready to give up.

"Oh no! T-they're gonna kill each other!" A new feminine voice squealed out.

Darui and Yoshanai turned his head to where the voice came from. A group of five pig women with pinkish skin all wearing revealing "armour" if you could call it that all look at the scene before them with absolute terror.

"You there...you wanna die?" Darui asked the Orcs in a threatening tone.

"N-no human." One of them muttered out.

"Then scram, before I change my mind." Darui warned the Orcs, who eagerly complied and swiftly retreated.

Whilst Darui and Yoshanai resumed their match, Obito looked on at the both of them deep in thought.

Obito's mind: (Dammit. Lilith's whores have finally noticed us. We will have to make our leave now to avoid attracting the more powerful ones.)

Meanwhile Darui and Yoshanai were currently engaged in their battle with their second round being heavily in Darui's favour.

Darui, still utilizing his black lighting cloak dodged several kicks and punches from Yoshanai. Irritated the Kaguya clan leader then took out his signature bone scythe to aid him in combat.

With an attempted slash he stuck Darui's lighting cloak.

Yoshanai's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw his bone scythe get snapped in half.

"Impossible...that's never happened before." Yoshanai stated as he took a few steps back.

"Impressed? This is black lightning, the secret technique used by the Third Raikage to kill Mist scum such as yourself." Darui chucked as he continued to walk towards Yoshanai.

Without further due Darui charged towards Yoshanai, who did so likewise and both men began sprinting towards one another, keen on landing a critical hit on the other.

A brief flicker, one that almost looked like a human attempted to grab Yoshanai. Said figure was almost about to teleport away when a large sword struck him in the abdomen, sending him crashing into one of the nearby trees. Standing beside Darui was none other than Mangetsu Hozuki, who had returned.

"So you finally return coward? Have you finally made peace that today is your last day on earth?" Yoshanai asked Mangetsu.

"I've come back because I've realised that...this is all my fault. That you're after me and not him." Mangestu calmly answered.

"Isn't that sweet? A member of the seven swordsmen actually wants to help someone else? No matter, I'll send you to a watery grave like how the 2nd Tsuchikage sent Gengetsu to his." Yoshanai boldy declared as he drew forth another bone scythe.

"Bring it on, bonehead." Darui taunted the Kaguya clan leader.

"Don't be so eager to charge at him yet." Mangetsu advised Darui.

"Huh? Why not?" Darui asked back.

"Because in case you haven't noticed. these guys aren't like any foes either of us have ever faced before. One of them can make himself intangible and the other one is immortal." Mangestu informed Darui of their foe's abilities.

"And what do you propose we do?" Darui enquiried.

"I have a new jutsu I've been practicing for months now...only problem is it takes me a while to use it...about two minutes to do all one hundred hand seals." Mangestu informed Darui.

"A one hundred hand seal jutsu? How the hell did you get that right?" Darui said in a surprised tone.

"Like I said a lotta practice and learning water, lightning and wind style. We don't have any more time to spare! You keep the immortal bone psycho distracted while I begin the hand seals for my jutsu, got it?"

"Got it" Darui replied as he charged at Yoshanai, their blades meeting in a furious dance of blades.

"Bird, snake, boar, bird, dragon..." Mangestu muttered out as he did the necessary hand signs for his jutsu.

"Water Style: Raiu!" Mangetsu cried out as he held his arms up in the air. In almost an instant the cloudless blue sky began an ugly grey with various flashes of thunder and lightning.

"You Cloud shinobi specialise in lightning style jutsu am I correct?" Mangestsu asked Darui.

"Yes we can, why?" Darui replied back whilst still engaged in his duel with Yoshanai and his masked accomplice.

"This new jutsu of mine creates a thunderstorm at the cost of a lot of chakra. It should make your lightning jutsu more powerful. My plan is that we combine both of our jutsu into one extremely powerful attack." Mangetsu told Darui as he and Obito locked horns with one another.

"That's ingenious. I'll give that to you." Darui complemented Mangetsu.

Both shinobi did a few back flips to get away from Yoshanai and Obito and quickly began doing various hand seals simultaneously.

"Water Style: Ultimate Water Dragon jutsu!"

"Gale Style: Black Hunting!"

Both Mangetsu and Darui cried out as their aforementioned jutsu came into existence. Various a titanic three headed water dragon descended from the clouds accompanied by a black lightning panther, several times larger than Darui's normal black lightning panther.

"Now! Let's combine our attacks!" Mangestu suggested, as the rain continued to soak him to the skin.

"Gotcha." Darui agreed without hesitation.

Both shinobi carefully merged their jutsu into one monstrous beast; a three headed dragon that while made out of water was black and had lightning flickering all around it.

"Gale Style: Ultimate Black Water Dragon jutsu!" Both Mangetsu and Darui cried out, as the beast emitted a ear deafening growl that shook the earth to it's very core.

Yoshanai and Obito stared at this being in complete awe. It was both a frightening and magnificent jutsu. A jutsu of extreme skill and power that rightfully earned one half of it's creators membership in the seven swordsmen of the mist.

The creature snaked it's way towards both men. The way it descended towards their location horrifingly fast and even Obito could not fully escape the jutsu without taking some damage.

Yoshanai in the last minute attempted to create a skeletal shield to protect himself from the jutsu. When the jutsu hit him he quickly realised that while his shield protected him from the full brunt of the attack, he still took in major damage from the parts of the shield that were completely destroyed.

Obito used his Kamui ability to teleport away. Although he did a fraction of a second too late as he still felt the shockwave of the blast hit him, completely destroying the right side of his body that was closest to the Black Water Dragon.

Both Mangetsu and Darui took in their victory with smiles on their faces. Their combined jutsu used up almost all of their chakra reserves and both barely had any energy to move.

"We...did..." Darui collapsed onto the ground from chakra exhaustion. Mangestu, despite also being extremely exhausted himself used what little chakra he had to pick up Darui and carry him by placing his arm around his shoulder and took of for the treetops to find the rendezvous point where he told Suigetsu to stay safe.

Obito came back to the real world to see Mangetsu and Darui gone and Yoshanai completely unconscious. Grunting he carried Yoshanai over his shoulder and also took of for the tree tops to find the portal back to his world.

Obito's mind: (That battle surely drew a lot of unwanted attention. We have to head back to the Mist village immediately. Dammit...that attack injured me far more than I anticipated. I don't have enough chakra to use Kamui and I'm in no state to fight any of Lilith's whores, so I'll have to take myself and Yoshanai as our work here is done for now.)

While talking some time to rest and catch his breath on a large tree branch Obito noticed a figure in the corner of his eye . Said figure looked vaguely familiar, almost like a certain brunette. Obito continued to look at the figure he saw earlier. Getting a good look he saw who it was.

He refused to believe it, he shook his head frantically, hoping that it was just a sick trick of the mind but it was not. It was none other than Rin. She looked almost exactly the same as she did on the day she died except her skin...it looked deathly pale, and her eyes were glossed over.

"Why Obito...? Why did you listen to him...? Why didn't you come back to us...?" The Rin doppelganger asked Obito in a tired and gravelly voice.

"No...no...you're not real..." Obito frantically muttered out as he jumped down from the tress to get a better look at this "Rin".

"I cared about you Obito...I still care about you...We could have been together...we can still be together if you leave him...please..." "Rin" pleaded with Obito.

"I love you."

"You're not real!" Obito cried out as he attempted to punch "Rin", only to see her disappeared into thin air, as if she were never there.

Crumpling onto the ground Obito continued to look at the spot where "Rin" was just a few moments ago. He was questioning his sanity of whether what he saw was real or just a figment of his imagination. Brushing those thoughts aside to not allow them to distract him from his mission, he jumped back up the tree branch where he left Yoshanai's unconscious body Obito placed it over his shoulder once more and resumed his journeyed back to the rendezvous point.

A/N: Hey guys, yours truly here. My sincere apologies for taking nearly 4 months to publish another chapter. I know usually it only takes me half the time to publish another chapter and I orignally wanted to publish this chapter on my 23rd birthday (31st of October) but unfortunately writer's block and procrastination got me. This was my first time ever writing a sex scene and I gotta admit, it was pretty awkward to write but nonetheless it was needed since this is a Monster Girl Encyclopedia crossover after all, and what's MGE without good ol' sex? Please leave a review and tell me if there's anything more you'd like to see in the story. Thanks and peace out
