I don't own Naruto or any other anime

"Time to die"

The skeleton warriors rushed at the group. As soon as they reached the group, Ryska pulled her staff.

"Return to the dust which you came." Ryska said. The skeletons turned into dust instantly. This is too easy. Ryska thought.

"Why not overrrun us?" Kakashi said. Ryska's eyes widened.

"Because they are after the children." Ryska said as she took off running. The skeletons were knocked away as she swung her staff. She made to the area wherenthe young nins were training. Hundreds of skeleton bones were all about. The few remaining skeletons were shaking with fear as their sightless eyes watched as a demi demon fell dead, blue black roses blooming from his eyes. Hinata stood in the center, her face cold. Hinata was clad in a long midnight blue black dress with a high split on either side. The dress billowed around her showing the silver underside. She had a black spiky oynx crown with silver and dark blue roses on her head. Her dark hair was now streaked with blue and silver. Her pale eyes had a rim of red light around them. Ryska smiled a bit.

"So, Hinata has summoned her imperial spirit." Ryska said

"Who is her spirit?" Kakashi asked as he had joined Ryska.

"Tanshei, the spirit of the colors of life."

Konoha

"Danzo, you once again took it upon yourself to undermine my authority. I have been lenient with you but I see now that I will have to make an example of you." Setsui said. Danzo spoke.

"I only act in defense of Konoha. I am a proud shinobi citizen of Konoha and my fire burns." Danzo said.

"Yes, I see your fire burns like a raging inferno. Such fire must be tamed or else it will destroy the innocent. The Damiyo has ordered that you receive 50 lashes in punishment as you caused more trouble for him. I will see it done." Setsui said, watching Danzo's face.

"The Damiyo must know that I am loyal..." Danzo said.

"Loyal? YOU SENT NINS TO ATTACK ANOTHER VILLAGE! YOU ARE UNDERMINING MY AUTHORITY AT EVERY TURN! IT ENDS TODAY!" Setsui said anger in his face.

"Lets go to the town square. Everyone is waiting." Setsui said. Danzo felt the hands grab him. He fought back but couldn't use his eyes. Ever since that stay in the ward, they had gone silent. He had tattooed symbols over them in case anyone saw them. Danzo was drugged to the town square where all the villagers were gathered. Setsui stood on a platform with a post.

"People of Konoha, This is the punishment for all who goes against the rules of the Damiyo and Hokage. Danzo Shimura disobeyed orders by both. As punishment, he will receive 50 lashes. By order of the Damiyo." Setusi said. Danzo was tied by his hands to the post, his back to the crowd. Danzo gritted his teeth in frustration.

"The Damiyo has sent a specialist to see it done." Setsui said. A nin spoke up.

"Hokage, what did he do if we may ask?" He said.

"He sent a nin outside of the village without my or the Damiyo's approval and almost caused a war. The Damiyo is already punishing Konoha." Setsui said.

"So we will be punished again?" One said.

"No. Danzo will bear this punishment on his own." Setsui said as a man with black and white hair stepped up.

"You are the torture specialist?" One asked. The man unrolled a long whip and cracked it. The men shuddered at the crack and walked away. The man struck Danzo's back hard. The first lash burned like fire. Danzo hissed. The man kept up with the lashes not stopping. Danzo was grunting with each burning lash. His back looked like ground meat. He was covered in sweat, blood, and spit when they cut him down. They will pay for this soon. Danzo thought.

"Heal him so he doesn't die and have him in the stocks as soon as you're done. Leave him there for three days with just bread and water. This us the penalty for going against the Damiyo." Setsui said. Karbe walked up.

"Hokage, please ask the Damiyo for mercy. The lashes should be enough." Karbe said.

"I will ask for mercy. Danzo is lucky to have a worker such as.you." Setsui said as Danzo was led to the hospital. Setsui left the square, the citizens quietly talking, and headed to Homage tower. The office was quiet as he entered.

"Neko, did the Damiyo send word?" Setsui asked.

"Yes, Hokage. He approved of the mercy." Neko said.

"Good. Perhaps the people will under just what Danzo did." Setsui said. He looked out over the village from his office. The talk would certain kept them preoccupied and the display today would have them think twice about helping Danzo. He had stomped Danzo's hopes for rebellion right now. You took away the only thing I truly cared for. You ruined so many lives. I will see you suffer more. Setsui thought. He looked at the paper in his hands.

Setsui,

Punish Danzo how you see fit BUT do not kill him. He must pay for the disobedience that he has displayed.

Damiyo

Setsui smiled as he saw the doctors leading Danzo to the stocks. He waited until they had him in them to announce the decree

"Citizens of Konoha, The Damiyo has seen fit to bestow mercy upon Danzo Shimura. He is to be removed from the stocks and allowed to reciver at home." Setsui said. The citizens began chanting praises to the Damiyo as Danzo was led home. Time heals all but I will never forget.

West

Hinata looked at the skeletons with calm eyes. Hanabi was with her as they were practicing.

You're pretty. We'll make good use of you."

"Sister?" Hanabi said. The skeletons attacked then. Hanabi was overrun immediately as they sensed she was the bigger threat to them-or so they thought. Seeing her sister in danger, Hinata felt despair. I have to save her. Hinata thought.

"Call me, my child. Call the name upon your heart." A voice said.

"I call you Tanshei." Hinata said. A beautiful woman appeared in her mind dressed in flowing robes of every color. She had colorful green eyes, her skin was pearl white and her long hair was evwry color imaginable. She smiled.

"Hello, Mistress. It is good to meet you after long last." Tanshei said smiling. Hinata was stunned.

"You are.." Hinata asked.

"Your Imperial spirit." Tanshei said

"How do i summon the power to stop this?" Hinata asked.

"You already know."

"I...Yes!!!!! Blooming embrace: Blooms of Everlasting light." Hinata said. As the flowers grew, the skeletons were covered in the flowers. Hinata opened her hand ans closed it into a fist.

"Shatter." She said. The skeletons broke apart, the souls trapped within freed. The leader rushed her and she spoke again.

"Inhale the sweet smell of defeat." Hinata said as the leader neared her. The skeleton was covered in blue and black roses. Ryska watched as the last skeletons fell. Hinata smiled at Hanabi and then lost consciousness.

"Sister!" Hanabi said as she caught Hinata.

"She will be fine after she rests." Ryska said. The others had caught up and Hinata was put in her tent. Ryska then asked all the older ones to join her in her tent

"I think its time we moved locations. I've had Erik and Kahani rebuilding an old fort not to far from here. It's finally ready and will accommodate everyone plus some more. Its also easier to defend." Ryska said.

"Not to mention, winter is nearing and the snows are coming." Demi said.

"Why did you wait, Ryska?" Shikaku asked.

"There was one more thing I was waoting to happen and now it has. We can safely move into the fort now." Ryska said. Shikaku spoke again

"And that was?" Shikaku asked. Ryska smiled and opened the back of her tent to reveal two people standing there. Itachi's eyes widened.

"It... can't... how." Came from Hiashi's lips.

"I traded some wanted souls for theirs. And returned the righteous to life." Ryska said.

"Mother, Father, I failed..." Itachi began

"No, Itachi. Konoha failed us and Naruto. We wanted to adopt Naruto after what happened but the damn civilians refused citing conflict. I believe they wanted to weaponize him. And then the other wanted to throw a coup against the hokage and we were betrayed by one of our own." Fugaku said. Itachi looked them, eyes wide.

"You know?" Itachi asked.

"No. We only know what has happened to this point. I will have a talk with Sasuke as soon as possible. We are joining you here and rebuilding the Uchiha Clan as a loyal clan." Mikoto said. The elder nins were quiet.

"Hiashi, you were supposed to look after both our boys. Did the civilian council interfere?" Fugaku asked.

"They did. They branded Itachi a traitor and brainwashed Sasuke." Hiashi said softly. Fugaku nodded.

"Destroy the strong and brainwash the young, how horrible. I'm glad we are no longer there." Fugaku said. Itachi spoke.

"Father, Sasuke's eyes..they evolved." Itachi said.

"Explain." Fugaku said. Itachi told them everything.

"I see. So the legend is true."

"Legend?" Demi asked.

"The Uchiha clan has had a legend about this. An Uchiha gifted beyond the red eyes will turn the fate of if the Uchiha around and true peace will come to this land." Fugaku said.

"So Sasuke's eyes are a variant?"

"No, they are known as the Aura seeing eyes."

"Never heard of those."

"Yes you have."

"What?"

"Remember the old story of the man with the eyes watching him?" Mikoto said.

"Yes. The man went insane because he thought the eyes of the dead were watching him." Shikaku said.

"Those eyes are real now. They are called the Ravens Eyes of Revenge."
