Chapter-7
Sorry for delay. Was busy watching the Euro and Copa semi-finals. Man, James Rodriguez has turned back time and how is Lamine Yamal this good at 16. Who are you guys' routing for in finals. Personally, I want Spain to win the Euros, they have played the best football in a boring tournament. Copa I am neutral since I want James and Columbia dream run to have reward. But it would be great Di Maria retires with glory. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Enjoy!
Edit- Just when decided to post it fanfiction crashed. Lol! And thanks to the guy who suggested to separate the scenes with a line.
Yagura entered his council room and sat down in his Kage seat. The Jonin Commander, ANBU Chief and Head of Hunter Division surrounding the small table. With the four-swordsman standing on each side. "Yagura-sama why have we gathered here" asked the Jonin Commander Kenji Suzuki. The man was A-Rank veteran in Third Shinobi War and was key factor against Suna. "Our spies have located the rebel base" Yagura replied. "Where are they" questioned Himari Kobayashi with barely any emotion. The new Hunter Head was Yagura's personal choice after she single-handedly killed every runaway Hozuki besides Mangetsu. "They are hiding on the south-eastern island of Kazi" the answer came from the ANBU Commander. The man's identity was secret just like every Commander's. "What's the plan Yagura-sama" asked Kenji. "It's simple, we will storm the island in couple of days and eradicate them before they move" explained Yagura with cruelty.
There was sudden on the door. Juzo opened it to find a maid standing with eight glasses of water and snacks. The maid bowed and gave it to Juzo who placed it on the table.
"Who ordered this" questioned Kushimaru. "I don't know man, I thought you guys did" Juzo replied. "You fool you didn't ask" Yagura reply was cut short by water in the glasses rising and spinning before it slammed Juzo on the wall. From the water arrived Mangetsu and toad and before anyone could the toad opened his mouth releasing the group of Mei's rebellion.
"I think you are one who is stunned this time Yagura" Mangetsu taunted. "Jiraya of the Sanin, so it was Konoha. Your village will pay Sanin" Yagura replied in anger. "How did you arrive heir where are guards" scathed Kenji. "Asleep and outside" Shisui replied cheekily by turning his Sharingan on. "You never learn don't you Mei. Still came alone you think by knocking some shinobi in the tower. You can stop yourself from being surrounded," said Himari. "Yeah, about that look outside" Hatake replied with an eye-smile.
Four Flame Formation was heard large barrier of purple flames surrounded the Mizukage tower. "There is no escape now you bastard" Ryosuke Terumi said. Mangetsu didn't take much long and slammed Kisame threw the window taking outside on the ground. Ao attack Kushimaru with a front on assault the swordsman dodged and escaped outside, the small room was for his disadvantage. Ao soon followed. At the same time Shiori then exploded the gate the ground using her Explosion Release taking Juzo, Kenji with her. Umeko and Isamu followed instantly. "Looks like they are trying to separate you Yagura-sama" Himari pointed out. Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique, the Terumi cousins attacked the remaining four head on with two directions. Yagura reflected Ryosuke's with Water Mirror and the Commander dodged towards Yagura. But Mei's was stronger enough to overpower the combined Electromagnetic Murder Raiga and Himari's to melt the ground under them as they barely. In that second Hatake Kakashi jumped taking both of them to the bottom floor with Ryosuke behind him.
"Looks like there still one left" Shisui commented. "Leave him be we don't have any surprise attacks left." Mei replied and charged at Yagura who blocked her charge with his staff. Jiraya leapt at the commander with kick which the man blocked with his elbow guard, the commander then brought his sickled chain to capture the Sage only to blocked by Shisui chokuto. The Sharingan user tried to cast a genjutsu only to fail.
Commander then released a point-blank Water Style: Gunshot at the Uchiha which he dodged using his signature Shunshin. Jiraya captured the ANBU in Swamp of the Underworld and then threw fireballs from left, right and centre using Dragon Flame Release Song. Jiraya believing the man is done for was about to head out when he heard Water Severing Wave washing away the three fire dragons. "Now that was nearly fatal" The man said with a chuckle.
"How is he alive" Jiraya was not given much time to think as he felt Sanbi's chakra in the air. "Shisui help Mei" the Uchiha left immediately.
When Jiraya and Shisui was occupied with the commander. Mei was dealing with Yagura. Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique, woman muttered as she unleased hot boiling Mist on the Kage which was spilt apart by Yagura's Vacuum Wave. The Kage charged at the rebel leader with his staff which she countered with her kunai.
"So, you finally decided to face me, Mei. Pretty brave of you." Yagura taunted as he tried to slam his staff onto Mei's torso. The rebel leader caught it and tried to thrust her kunai into Yagura's eye. Yagura just like Mei grabbed her hand and tried to push back. Mei put chakra into her hands and feet and retaliated.
"I was never scared of you Yagura, it was that beast that terrified me" replied back Mei.
"Oh, and you think you have to found to stop Isobu. I will let you know the Five-Element Seal won't work now" the jinchuriki bragged.
"If you think I have just one plan then you are fool" Mei said and arched herself backwards and released the boiling mist directly on the Kage. Yagura screamed in agony. "You bitch, you will pay" and Sanbi's chakra started enveloping the Mizukage.
Not only Jiraya everyone felt Sanbi's chakra. Mangetsu and Kisame looked away from their duel. The shark-nin spoke "Well well it looks like Yagura has finally come out huh Mangetsu-kun. Shall we stop these pleasantries too" and thrusted Mangetsu back and unleashed a wave of waterusing Water Colliding Wave. The Hozuki unleashed Hiramekarei and changed into its Longsword Form, coating it in wind chakra.
The only man to master seven blades unleashed a wave of wind cutting the wave in half. Mangetsu than turned the sword to Hammer Form and jumped with head on strike the Hoshigaki blocked with his Samehada, Mangetsu than threw a point-blank finger gun at the shark-nin piercing his shoulder.
Kisame hissed and pushed the Hozuki back. Kisame used his Samehada's to heal his found. Mangetsu knew this was the reason Kisame was called the tailless tailed beast. Not only for his beyond Kage-level reserves but also due to his being able to steal his opponent's chakra and use it to heal his wounds. He had to end it soon because there is no way he can outlast Kisame.
On one side of ground Kisame and Mangetsu were fighting the other side there was a game of cat and mouse between Ao and Kushimaru. Kushimaru was the second strongest swordsman after Kisame. If Zabuza was here the ranking would be different. But Kushimaru was more dangerous than Zabuza due to Nuibari, the man would be very much trouble to deal with due to needle-sword's abilities.
It was due to his stolen Byakugan's 360 vision he was able to keep up. Hidden Mist Jutsu muttered Kushimaru as thick mist formed around the Ao. Ao activated his Byakugan and instantly dodged the long needle coming from his side. This resumed for couple of moments Kushimaru sending needles from everywhere and Ao dodging. But the man was not just dodging he was getting closer and closer to Kushimaru without the swordsman realizing that.
Once in range Ao instantly leapt at the blonde-haired man with chakra in his feet. Twisting and dodging the two needles coming from front he slammed a kunai into the swordsman only for it turn to be water. Longsword Ninja Art-Earth Spider Sewing was the words Ao heard before his left leg was pierced by multiple needles.
"That was good Ao-san to save yourdominant leg this quickly. Commendable" Kushimaru applauded.
"When did you switch" Ao asked clearly stunned.
"When you were dodging you aren't a Hyuga Ao so you only have one stolen Byakugan. When your preoccupied with dodging you have to use normal eye to track me" he explained "But let's see if you survive now" added the swordsman sadistically.
On one of the floors Kakashi was fighting the hunter-nin and let's just say the woman was vicious and did he tell you that Raiga was insane rambling about funerals. He really wished Ryosuke melts his mouth. Himari shunshined behind the Hatake with kunai to cut his jugular vein Kakashi blocked it with his own and cast a minor genjutsu of False Surroundings on her he sidestepped and went to finish the job but she has already broken parried Hatake's kunai stepping back and created Water Chains to bind his wrists and ankles and threw a lightning kunai at him electrocuting him only for the body to turn into smoke. "Kushina's chains were far faster and stronger" Hatake muttered as he unleashed a Giant Fireball at woman who blocked it with a Mud Wall. Kakashi and the others felt Sanbi's chakra. "It looks we have to end this soon" Hatake said.
On the bottom most floor the three clan heads were facing Kenji and Juzo. Isamu used Electromagnetic Murder to defuse Juzo's explosions but due to this Shiori's explosion attacks also don't work. It's good thing they have numbers advantage as on side Umeko fists covered in Iron was duelling with Kenji.
The Jonin Commander was using his nodachi, it's great reach was the only reason he was not pummelled to death. Vacuum Blade the commander unleashed a thin blade of wind from his sword Umeko brought her elbows to block, her Iron Release being the only reason for her arms being enact.
Shiori sent lightning kunais on Kenji who again threw them away with his nodachi. Assassin's Rush said Kenji as he used wind chakra to rush towards Umeko with greater speed than of Shunshin. Shiori eyes widened as Kenji was upon her in sudden and pierced her Iron coated stomach. Blood dropped from her mouth. Shiori screamed in rage.
Kenji about to retract his blade was surprised when Umeko grabbed his blade and muttered "To hell with you bastard" and held him there. Shiori arrived right there with unparalleled rage Explosion Release: Landmine Fist the woman screamed as she slammed her fist from right of Kenji at the exact moment with her remaining strength Umeko broke his nodachi in half. Kenji's whole upper body exploded with such force its shockwave sent both women flying.
"You always have to overdo it" Umeko laughed mirthlessly as she groaned in pain. "Stop talking you would be dead if not for your bloodline limit"
Shiori said as she removed the broken blade from Umeko and lifted on her back. "What are you doing. Go help Isamu" groaned Umeko.
"I am taking to medical ward in Mizukage tower. There are enough supplies to heal you" Shiori replied "And as for Isamu, he can take care of himself. Don't forget he is the most talented user of his bloodline in ages" she added with confidence and moved towards medic supply.
Seeing the explosion Isamu chuckled "Looks like someone made Shiori angry" Juzo replied "She will be angry after seeing your dead body brat" Before he could attack again, he like others felt the oppressive chakra.
Mei cursed as she tried to get away from Yagura. The tides of the battle have completely changed in his base she was stronger than him. But with Sanbi he completely outclasses her by a mile. And that wasn't even the beats full power. Before she could Yagura was on her again, she barely dodged his charge on four paws but she didn't have time for any breath as his tail extended in hope of piercing her. She dodged again but not completely as the bijuu's vile chakra grazed her. Mei hissed as Yagura was on her without any break. This time the woman unleashed a molten ball of Lava at his face. The beast screamed given her chance to breathe.
That was scene on which Shisui Uchiha arrived. Mei has bruises all over her, and most of were chakra burns in front of her was he assumed was Yagura. The man looked more demonic than human. His skin completely blood red with a turtle skeleton on him as his three tails waved around madly. The two completely white eyes and mouth were also not helping. "You alright" he asked. "I have seen better days. Now put him out" Mei ordered. Shisui nodded and pushed chakra into his eyes as his Sharingan evolved into Mangekyo. Instead of three tomoe there was a four-way shuriken in his eyes.
But before he could do anything Yagura has recovered and slammed his tails underground, Shisui and Mei has barely any time to anything other than dodge as the three tails started attacking them from underground. Yagura than ran towards, Shisui seeing him with Mangekyo flickered out. Mei wasn't so lucky as with those tails she wasn't fast enough and Yagura was able to touch her elbow.
But instead of burn her elbow was getting covered in coral making her immobile. Yagura tried to advantage of this but was met by Shisui flickering in front of him with his body on fire which he launched from his hands on Yagura sending him spiralling back while burning.
"Flame Whirlwind one of Uchiha clan's special" Shisui replied. "That looks annoying, could you do something" he added. Mei nodded as she put lava in her hand and melted the coral. "Yeah, it one of his signature moves. I always had something for this" Mei told the Uchiha.
Yagura has healed from the jutsu and unleashed large wave of water using Exploding Water Colliding Wave, Shisui and Mei together unleashed a Mud Wall blocking the wave, Yagura than jumped on the wave using it a trampoline jumped over the wall and sent water bullets towards them. Shisui retaliated with Pheonix Flower Jutsu and jumped in-front of Uchiha unleashing a boiling mist on airborne Kage.
Yagura stopped his water assault and unleashed Great Breakthrough with enough strength to blow them away. Before they could recover, he was on them with chakra tails trying to kill them. Shisui tried to flicker away but was Yagura touched him coral spread on the Uchiha's shoulder. Mei used Lava Style: Lava Beam and unleashed a beam of lava on the Kage, Yagura was thrown away but extended his arm putting Coral on Mei's mouth. With both of them immobile. The Kage didn't care about the melted flesh on his torso and unleashed a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Jiraya has to say the commander was sure a monster. Not only he survived a Dragon Flame Release Song but was also keeping up with him in taijutsu. But it was surprising he hadn't the heard about a man of this calibre before. "You are no ordinary shinobi. But it is surprising you have remained hidden for this long" the sage said
"Isn't the shinobi way is to remain in the shadows" the man replied.
The man put fire chakra into his hands and put it upwards which led to multiple firewalls raining on Jiraya. The toad summersault, jumped side by side dodging the fireball only for the Commander to shunshin beside him and put his sickle through the sage's torso which turned out to be log.
Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind the ANBU Commander was stunned as a sticky surface summoned around him making him unable to move. "There is no use, you are in the oesophagus of the great toad of Mount Myoboku" The Sanin boasted. "Well, it was good fight"
Jiraya said as created Rasengan to end the man only for it phase through him. Jiraya's eyes widened and as the man chuckled. "No escape you say. We will see that" The man said as he passed through the surface. Jiraya instantly cancelled the jutsu, his eyes hardened now.
"You, you are the masked attacker" Jiraya stated. The man chuckled and teleported behind Jiraya with his sickle ready to pierce the sage. Jiraya blocked with his sickle with his elbow guard. "Minato was faster" Jiraya responded as he leapt away. "Well Minato is dead" the man responded.
Jiraya unleashed a large Fireball which again just passed through. The sage then formed a couple of shadow clones and a toad name Gamaseko to help them to waste time. While Jiraya stood still "Damn, I should really have mastered sage mode. Due to the congested space and allies I can't summon large toads and others to give me enough time to summon ma and pa."
The masked man dodged the fire bullet and let the toad's tanto pass through. Gamaseko was stunned as the human sized toad tried to attack on for his opponent to allow him phase through again before he unleashed a fireball at his face burning the toad forcing him to reverse summon.
The masked man than teleported behind Jiraya where he allowed the clone to again phase through but this time covered his body with wind and extending it from it back at the moment the clone phased killing it. Jiraya's last clone wasn't much help either as the fake Commander allowed the mud shot to pass through again. He went to kill Jiraya only for the Sage to catch his sickle and break it. The sage replied "It isn't enough to be complete but then again I never mastered it"
Madara looked as there were strange markings on Sanin's face and his appearance was that like of a toad. "Oh, another Sage like Hashirama. Even though not complete but I must say I am impressed" he applauded.
"Can you stop pretending to be Madara." The Sage said as went for punch but it was just side of his face. Madara surprised by the didn't even use his ability but soon regretted as he was sent flying. "What" "Now that was as surprising as it was impressive. You missed but you didn't" the fake Commander stayed back as he threw a large sphere of wind at the sage using Vacuum Great Sphere which the sage reverted back on him using a nature enhanced Fireball which again passed through.
Madara than rushed forward with a chain passing through Jiraya and trying to cut him in half with the chain which the sage caught and ripped in half with his enhanced strength. Jiraya than turned around and tried to slam a Rasengan through back of his head but again passed through.
Jiraya was fed up with this everything passes through the bastard and he wasn't fast like Minato to connect at the exact time. He was only hanging on due to the sage mode which was on verge of running out. The sage groaned as he tried for last desperate attempt as charged for a direct exchange.
Going a right hook which Madara allowed to pass through and retaliated with a palm thrust on the Sanin's chest. Jiraya let it connect as he drove a knee at that exact time. Jiraya like Minato wasn't fast enough but with sage he was fast to get in the reach where Frog Kumite can take on effect. The senjutsu enhanced was hit. Anybody can see the exchange wasn't equal as Madra's ribs were fractured while Jiraya only had superficial wounds due to senjutsu enhanced body. Jiraya charged again, Madara knowing the outcome decided to dodge using his ability and speed, the game of cat and mouse was on. But it didn't last long as the sage cursed as his markings faded. Madara gave a cruel chuckle.
Isamu ran towards Ao as his and Juzo's battle didn't last long once Umeko and Shiori were out he was free to use his bloodline limit all the way. With Juzo explosion out of the game. He was just a jonin swords master. Which wasn't hard to deal with, just be careful with Silent Killing Technique and it's sorted.
Ismau released a large no of beams on Juzo using his Storm Release: Laser Circus, the man was forced to play on defensive as Isamu could control his beams with his bloodline limit. Juzo's water style was out leaving him with only Earth.
The swordsman replied with rain of his own using Earth Plate Barrage lifted pieces of the ground and rained on him. Isamu was forced to direct his beams on the rocks. Juzo took advantage and charged ready to slash the clan head in half. Isamu sent a beam after him which Juzo dodged but it allowed Isamu to retreat enough for Juzo's sword to only slash his skin not any deeper.
Isamu than created thick black thunderclouds using Storm Release: Thunder Cloud Inner Wave, these clouds were both an offensive by firing bolts of electricity and defensive by generating an electrifying perimeter around him. Juzo cursed "The fucking rebels did their job. Without explosion this sword is nothing but giant slab. And my affinities of water and earth doesn't help too" as he tried to find a way to win but he was late behind the cloud Isamu has created a water clone which flickered away in the electric chaos as Isamu When driven into the corner formed due to abris of fallen rocks.
The real Isamu than cancelled the jutsu the moment the clone caught Juzo using Water Chains, the real Isamu without wasting a second send a sharp electric spear piercing Juzo while also electrocuting him. The swordsman died right there. "That was for Shizune you bastard" he said as he took Shibuki and ran to find Ao after patching his chest.
When Isamu found Ao, the man was in critical condition multiple needles piercing towards fighting for his life. The only reason he was alive was due to Kushimaru's sadism, the swordsman love to hear his opponents beg for death. Even Ao's stolen Byakugan wasn't much help after his leg was pierced.
"Ao-san revert back" Ao on hearing Ismau's voice instantly jumped back and Isamu jumped released Shibuki, the explosions destroyed the needles underground. "So, that moron is dead. Then I say I have made a mistake of not ending you Ao" admitted Kushimaru.
"But don't worry there would be no more games" added the nin as he muttered Longsword Ninja Art: Massacre Method Formation, Nuibari's wires circled around them and started piercing them in way of a crucifix. Isamu was barely able to protect Ao and himself with Shibuki's explosions but it wasn't enough. As some needles pierced through them. Ao once was wished he knew Gentle Fist but since he didn't, he was a sitting duck.
"Ao-san take it. You were once a swordsman candidate weren't you. I will give you one chance."
Storm Release: Thunder Cloud Inner Wave yelled Isamu, his trump card was back again. He was running out of chakra and he can't do this again. Ao really had only one chance. Isamu jutsu was enough to stop the needles but the thunderbolts were also big trouble for Kushimaru who saw Ao leaving and retracted his needles, he tried to get closer to the injured man but Isamu's jutsu was sure trouble.
Ao didn't have to worry about them as jumped ready to strike Kushimaru, "Seriously a frontal assault. No wonder you weren't selected" the blonde haired replied.
Mei's right hand didn't respond and continued his assault slash thrust from every direction. Kushimaru even with Isamu's bolts was still easily able to parry it. "Ah so that the game plan pushing me towards the Kiba so he can finish the job. So predictable" he chuckled as released Nuibari again multiple needles piercing Ao who than grabbed them making Kushimaru stand still allowing Isamu's thunderbolts to connect.
Kushimaru instantly brought the needles back as he screamed. Ao didn't waste any time and unleashed Shibuki's most destructive attack. Blastsword Technique: Blasting Bridle Repeating Death.
Kushimaru instantly recognized it and released Nuibari completely using its needles to form a layer of protection around him. The explosions that encircled Kushimaru went off, the wide explosion destroyed the whole side of the ground they were fighting in.
Ao's gulped blood as a severely damaged but still alive Kushimaru pierced his heart. "It's over" Kushimaru darkly chucked. Most of his skin was blown off but was pretty sure he couldn't stand but with Ao's death and Isamu being without any chakra he can finish that brat of with Nuibari.
"Yeah, it is" Kushimaru eyes widened as Ao transformed into Isamu. Before he could even get over the shock Ao pierced him from behind with a Vacuum Blade. "How" was the only thing the sadist could ask. "My Byakugan saw you still breathing. Knowing you go for the kill we switched" Ao explained.
"But how isn't he dead" Kushimaru asked. "Oh why, well because my heart in right. Pretty neat" was the last words Kushimaru heard. Ismau fell on his ass as Ao went and sat with him. "I thought you will run towards Mei-sama" asked the Shiba. "In my condition I am nothing but a burden. Besides back in my day soldiers trusted their leader" Ao replied cheekily as both chuckled.
The roof of Mizukage tower exploded as the tailed beast bomb was released but it didn't disintegrate every thing in its path. Fortunately, it was stopped by the structure with destroyed the roof. Around Shisui Uchiha stood an ethereal construct of green colour with skeleton-like structure its ribs surrounded the Uchiha and Terumi as its skull was barely visible from outside.
"This is Susano, the greatest jutsu of Sharingan" the Uchiha explained to the stunned audience as he put more chakra into the construct. The skeleton now was surrounded by an armour around with its skull covered by a demonic face. The Susano's arms were now also dawned elbow and shoulder guards. And its right hand having a large ethereal drill.
This was the form he used to block tailed beast bomb. He just hoped Yagura can't rapidly fire them. Susano consumed too much chakra.
Yagura sent his tails again to attack them, but this time they were no effect on Susano, Shisui attacked with his spinning drill. Yagura dodged, the game of prey and predator was now reversed.
"Mei, try to bind him a still. I can't maintain this was for too long. It consumes too much chakra." Mei nodded as she has already melted the coral from both her and Shisui. Yagura was in trouble his tails were ineffective. So, most of his jutsu were out too. He knew Tailed Beast Bomb would still work as he the Susano was reduced to just a skeleton with it. But Shisui wasn't giving him any room.
Yagura's situation worsened when Mei jumped over the drill and release a Lava Style: Quicksand to bind him. The Uchiha slammed the drill into the beast piercing him. Mei was stunned when Shisui construct disappeared. Yagura's torso was on the process of being healed. The Uchiha than looked the beast dead in the eye.
He tried to break it using his Mangekyo but it was no avail. "Madara's genjutsu is stronger than what my Mangekyo can normally cast. Is it because his Mangekyo is stronger than mine" muttered the Uchiha. "Don't tell me you can't break it" Mei groaned ready to melt Yagura's face if it isn't possible. "Not normally, but don't I have something"
Shisui entered Yagura's mindscape with his Sharingan. Inside the Sanbi was healing Yagura on sensing Shisui arrival the large turtle attacked him. Shisui dodged "Geez what a bad welcome" said the Uchiha. "Well, I guess you have the right to be angry. But your anger is on the wrong person" The Uchiha this flickered in-front of Sanbi and muttered Koto Amatsukami.
The Sanbi instantly came to a haul, Madara genjutsu this time was over written by possibly the strongest genjutsu in history. Shisui's genjutsu allowed him to overwrite a person's thoughts and intentions creating a phantom life of Shisui's choice. And the best part of the person never realizes anything is wrong. There is no seal, genjutsu that can overwrite this.
Shisui didn't expected to use Koto Amatsukami especially on a tailed beast so he didn't what to do with it. Should he make Sanbi loyal to Konoha, nah that was Danzo's thing. Yeah, got he would just tell the Sanbi about Madara casting it in a genjutsu. Making the beast fight against him. And since sharingan is useless now, Madara is done for. With those though Shisui just rewrote the part where Madara casted a genjutsu on Sanbi making sure the beast remembers it.
"That Damn Uchiha" yelled the turtle. "Sorry, you are also an Uchiha and you freed me" it added. "Oh, no problem. I would probably curse the person's bloodline too if someone controlled me" Shisui replied. "So, you wanna take revenge" he added. "Although I don't believe in revenge that's Kyuubi thing. But this time I really wanna rip him apart. First, I have to heal Yagura and snap him out of genjutsu. He is such a good soul, he would be devastated when he finds out what he has caused" Sanbi explained. Shisui grimaced now he feels bad. "Yagura was turned into a monster by Madara, he was good Kage but Madara turned him into a monster. He didn't think people weren't gonna forgive him despite how good he was before or even he was manipulated. That's why he didn't agree with Jiraya's ideals they were literally ideals. Not for their world"
"I will explain the situation outside" Shisui told the turtle a s he left. When he returned, he was surprised to see Mei fighting Madara. "What happened to Jiraya-sama" asked Shisui.
"Oh, the sage is still alive unfortunately. He just like his student is a trouble. But he out of the count for now. I wasn't able to get past his toads to finish him due to you Shisui. To think another Uchiha will awaken Mangekyo. Truly splendid" Madara praised, seeing Mei's confused look. "She doesn't know and here I thought Konoha was open with its allies. But then again you all shinobi after all" he chuckled.
Mei joined Shisui and asked, "What's this Mangekyo". It was Madara who answered, "It's the evolution of the Sharingan only a handful of Uchiha has awakened it through history." Madara explained as his own Mangekyo shone from hi lone eye. A pinwheel pattern contrast to Shisui's four bladed shuriken.
Madara released multiple fire balls using the Fire Dragon Flame Song, Mei replied with Water Dragons of her own as Shisui flickered in front of the Uchiha his fist phased through the elder Uchiha. Madara than grabbed Shisui and kicked him in the gut forcing him on his knees. Mei's Lava Jet passed through again. Madara in response teleported behind the woman and thrusted his kunai, the woman's sharp reflex was enough to save her heart but her shoulder was still pierced.
Shisui flickered again this time again but instead of going for straight assault he casted a genjutsu which Madara released only for Shisui kunai to phase through Uchiha's neck. Shisui was stunned, "To cast a genjutsu in genjutsu very good. Even someone with a normal Sharingan or Byakugan would be fooled. What was it" The legend questioned. Shisui in fear or respect replied. "Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings" "Oh, that's a new one did you create it" On Shisui's nod he continued "A genjutsu prodigy with speed greater than any jonin or even most S-Ranks and a Mangekyo. You truly are a gem Shisui Uchiha. Join me" Madara proposed.
"Join you, I am not insane. You attacked Konoha, drove Kiri to self-destruction. You expect me to join you" yelled the Uchiha. "All that was for peace. Ok, I admit driving Kiri to civil war was just my personal vendetta. But rest of everything I do is for peace" Madara admitted.
"Personal Vendetta what did Kiri do to you." Mei questioned with fury. "Nothing for you to know" he said while releasing a Gale Palm, Mei unable to cast hand signs was forced to dodge but she wasn't faster than wind her body was filled with multiple cuts.
"See you admit you are nothing but a farse. You just delude yourself" Shisui replied as he tried to attack again but again failed. Madara just stood there unphased and continued "Oh, it's true I am no priest. But I am honest with you Shisui, true peace is my end goal. A true and ever lasting peace"
"You expect me to believe that, better men than you have tried and failed. What are you gonna do. Kill everyone in the world" Shisui screamed back with frustration. Madara was toying with him ninjutsu and taijutsu don't work on the bastard. And its not like he has enough chakra for a ninjutsu battle after forming Susano twice. His only option was genjutsu and Madara can break anything he uses double layered, single layered it didn't matter.
"That is good idea. But no, I am human too Shisui and I love humans, so I want all of them to enjoy peace. As for how I will show you. Sharingan: Hallucination" as Madara and Shisui were transported into a white space
"You can break when you want Shisui, but first hear me out." Madara asked. Shisui understands he should just break the genjutsu and retreat. But a part of him want to listen to Madara what if people are wrong and he isn't a crazy man. After all there is no guarantee the opinion of majority is always right. Naruto is the prime example, so he stayed.
"Good. What do you know about the sage of six paths" "That he was the God of Shinobi but isn't he just a legend" "The sage existed and do you how he became the God of Shinobi."
Shisui was surprised when the white space changed into a battle field and as man battled a large beast that looked even scarier than Kyuubi.
"That's juubi it was a monster who attacked the world before the age of chakra. The Sage defeated it and sealed it inside him making him the first jinchuriki. It was due to this beast power that the Sage was able to spread chakra and even created the tailed beasts" Madara explained. "Wait wait wait, tailed beasts were created by the Sage" Shisui was stunned. "Yes, the sage divided the juubi into nine tailed beasts. And these beasts can again be reformed into juubi" Madara was interrupted, "So, that's your plan unleash a world ending monster. Sorry pal you are not convincing me now" the younger Uchiha told the elder one.
"Such impatience. No that's not the plan. You see the beast originally was the tree on which the fruit of chakra existed. The sage ate that fruit and became the first person to use chakra. Long story short, with the juubi's revival the chakra tree can also be revived. After eating its fruit which will allow me to cast Mugen Tsukuyomi"
Madara told as the scenery changed this time a man stood flying above a giant tree long enough to touch clouds looking at a red moon. "By casting Mugen Tsukuyomi I will put the world into an eternal genjutsu. A dream world of their choice, a world where there no losers. A world where there are no wars, no hate just dreams" Madara finished. "So, tell me your answer Shisui Uchiha"
"So that's your great plan. Take free will. Put people into an eternal genjutsu." Shisui voice didn't have the same resolve. In this last year he has thought a lot about the shinobi world, its curse and way to end it all. Jiraya's ways were never gonna work. It was a fool's dream. Madara's idea could solve the problem but it was morally wrong. Taking everyone's free will wasn't right. But then again when has shinobi been morally right or when have they haven't taken anything they wanted.
"Just a little more push" "Do you have any better idea. What have people achieved from their free wills other than wars. Humans has always fought even before chakra and after it too. Nothing has changed. Free will you say, humans love, hate have greed all these reasons lead to war. Some fight to protect their loved ones, some fight to gain something and some just want hate and kill anyone who is different. This way there will be no more wars, deaths. Everyone from the greatest saint to the worst criminal would have their perfect worlds. And they won't have to harm a single fly for it. Join me Shisui Uchiha, let us be the last victims of this accursed shinobi creed" Madara said as he extended his hand towards Shisui.
