Naruto x Yugito: The Great Adventure of the Jinchuriki
Part 1
The Mask of the Future
Chapter 001 – The Rebirth of a Crow
June 7, 2007 – Amegakure Village
The Land of Rain was never remarkable, it had infertile and swampy areas that made it unattractive, it also did not help that most of the year it rained over the entire country having very few forests and areas where it was possible to harvest, however this country was very characteristic for enormous steel towers and having a sewage and sanitary system better than even some of the Great Nations, as well as having striking industrial regions all instructed by its last great ruler and called by the population as "God", the mysterious Pain, a rather peculiar man who made several changes by dethroning and killing the previous leader of the Village, however what most attracts attention about Pain is that he was the public leader of the organization of mercenaries and criminals that gained the most strength in recent years, Akatsuki, its objective to catch Chakra monsters called by humans as "Biju" (Tailed Beast) locked inside humans called Jinchuriki, considered weapons by the Hidden Villages who used them as powerful weapons, there being a total of Nine Biju throughout the Ninja World.
However, Akatsuki's job was to defeat and extract the Biju from their Jinchuriki, successfully achieving this and the Biju being deposited in the huge Gedo Mazo, for his part the Jinchuriki died instantly when his Biju was lost, in total Akatsuki had gathered seven of the nine Biju, however their difficulties began when they faced the Jinchuriki of Konoha and bearer of the Nine-Tails Biju, the Kyubi, the energetic boy named Naruto Uzumaki together with his friends and teachers, who defeated the vast majority of Akatsuki, but above all defeating the public leader, Pain in a great battle, in turn that he argued with Pain's true identity, Nagato about why his actions were wrong, from there Nagato regretted what he did and resurrected all the victims he caused with his attack on Konoha, for his part this irritated the true leader of Akatsuki hidden in the shadows, the masked one Tobi who calls himself "Madara Uchiha" when he sees that his plans would be thwarted, so he would take Nagato's power for himself, the powerful ocular technique, the Rinnegan, which was guarded by Nagato's partner who deserted Akatsuki and guarded his body, and the protagonist that concerns us, a blue-haired girl with silver eyes named Konan.
Right now she was facing her former leader for control of her old friend Nagato's Rinnegan, something that Konan would not allow.
"I see that you have no intention of telling me where you hid the Rinnegan… or rather Nagato." Tobi said in a monotonous and stoic voice.
"I knew you would come for me sooner or later. I have been waiting for you… so that I can stop you once and for all!" Konan answered him in the same monotonous and cold voice, but with a determined expression on her face.
"Just because we were partners, don't expect me to be gentle with you. But first I have just one question for you. Why did loyal members like you and Nagato betray me?" The masked man said as a question, although he already knew the answer, he wanted to hear it from her.
However, Konan remained silent waiting for Tobi's words.
"Naruto Uzumaki… Do you really think that boy is special?" Tobi questioned him with a subtle tone of contempt.
"He is the light that allows us… To have the flower of hope!" Konan said with a more vivid voice beginning to turn into papers ready to fight.
"Heh, so you finally show your fangs against me, yet you dare to wear that cloak, the fact that you continue to wear it means that you still have a small affection for Akatsuki." Tobi mocked.
"Akatsuki was founded by Yahiko, the red clouds represent the blood spilled during the wars in Amegakure." Konan answered him and then continued.
"You have been mistaken in thinking that these cloaks belong to you, but it is not so, these cloaks represent our legacy of Akatsuki justice and the Rinnegan belonged to Nagato a Shinobi of Amegakure, again they do not belong to you, they are the treasure of this nation and Village!" Konan shouted attacking with paper shuriken as deadly as normal shuriken, but said attacks were easily avoided by the intangibility of the masked man.
"Heh, you are the one who is wrong on both counts. How are you going to die I will tell you everything. First, I encouraged Yahiko to form Akatsuki and Second… I was the one who gave the Rinnegan to Nagato!" Tobi declared with conviction to Konan's great surprise.
"The most correct thing to say in these terms is that I have come here to take back what is mine." Tobi said calmly before continuing.
"In my opinion, you are nothing more than a stupid brat who knows absolutely nothing, except for the location of Nagato's Rinnegan. Once I capture you, I must only get the information out of you, do not underestimate the power of the Uchiha, little girl." Tobi said confidently.
For her part Konan was not intimidated by the masked man, and in no time, she changed into her origami form in order to have a better chance of facing the man.
"Heh, you still haven't learned." Tobi muttered.
A confrontation quickly developed between the true leader of Akatsuki and the former member, with blows, explosions and lots of papers flying around the place, until at one point in the fight Tobi wanted to end the fight once and for all, but what he didn't notice was that his enemy had placed a bunch of paper bombs, ready to take him with her to the other world, causing a huge explosion and smoke that quickly dissipated.
"Huff… Huff… Huff… Huff… I didn't think she would try to grab me so quickly, b-but that still allowed me to put my strategy into practice… Huff… Huff… that strange technique of space and time, as unbeatable as it may seem… Huff… has the defect that to send people or objects to another space it is necessary for its user to have physical contact… And there I took advantage to place paper bombs… Huff… even so I am surprised that out of fatigue Madara is fine in the end…" but Konan could not finish when she was interrupted.
"…he's dead, that's what you were going to say, right?" Tobi finished the blue haired girl's sentence, who now had a face of panic.
And the next thing Konan knew was that she was impaled by a tube, with her blood dripping.
"How… how is this possible?! You should have died from the explosions."
"The truth is I was surprised that you discovered that weak point, hmph, but that doesn't matter. Even if you had known, it wouldn't have worked since I could perfectly teleport to my space, although it took a little longer than normal, hence why I have wounds." Tobi answered calmly while he pressed harder on the steel tube he had, making Konan spit out more blood.
"Cough… Cough… That… that can't be… e-no matter how powerful your Space-Time Technique is, you… you must have a limit." Konan said incredulously at Tobi's feat.
"Since you are going to die, I suppose it won't hurt to tell you. I do have a limit. I can only maintain my Intangibility for only five consecutive minutes. However, everything you did didn't force me to reach that limit, which is why I avoided all your attacks. If perhaps you had told me where Nagato is with the Rinnegan, I would have let you live, but that is no longer possible." Tobi said calmly, taking out the metal tube and then pushing Konan into the water, which no longer had any strength.
"I feel sorry for you Konan. You thought that with just a month and knowing that small defect in my Technique you would already beat me, but you have made a big mistake. In the end, Time was your worst enemy." Tobi mocked as he approached the battered woman.
"However, don't worry. Right now, I will free you forever from all your suffering. You will also see Nagato again in the afterlife, where you will be able to regret having believed in Naruto's pathetic beliefs. This world has no salvation. Hope does not exist." Tobi declared and right there he lifted Konan by the neck.
"Now before you do all that, you will first tell me where the Rinnegan is and once the Genjutsu is over, you will have my permission to die." Tobi finished focusing his Sharingan on Konan who uselessly resisted while Tobi suffocated her until her vision clouded and everything was absolute black.
"That was what I felt, Konan, despair, uncertainty and above all fear… fear of dying, that was surely what it was, after all I didn't feel like I had done everything I had to do, finish off the masked man, protect Nagato's Rinnegan, fulfill my own dream… my own dream… my own dream. Wait, I hadn't even had a dream of my own, I followed Yahiko and Nagato's ideals of wanting a world without conflicts, but after all, they were Yahiko and Nagato's dreams, but what were mine, too much time had passed to the point that she didn't remember them, although that doesn't matter anymore because she was nothing more than another victim of the bunch of the Masked Man that she had generated over time either directly or indirectly, she felt sadness but above all anger for not having been able to do anything, if only she had known about the five minutes if only she had had more time…"
"Ouch!" Konan complained, instinctively bringing her hands to her head.
Wait, she had just had a pain reaction. That was more questions Konan was asking herself, then her attention went to her other wound, caused by Tobi when he pierced her back, it didn't seem to be big, but she had to treat it quickly to avoid bleeding, soon Konan was inspecting the place, it looked like a strange underwater cave, in fact, she was floating in the water part.
She quickly left the water and climbed onto the rocky surface of the cave, at first glance it had nothing special, it looked like a typical underwater cave with humidity, some of those aquatic plants or crustaceans, the truth is that Konan was not sure about that, along with the typical splash of stalactites every now and then, in the end Konan did not give the place much thought and decided to hurry up in treating her wounds, starting with the most obvious, the wound that runs through her from the abdomen to her back and other minor cuts, together with the recent blow to her head, she had sealed in a scroll with first aid that luckily she had not thrown away in one of her pockets, after taking out the contents of said scroll Konan quickly treated her wounds, it would not be the best healing but at least this way she would no longer be in mortal danger quickly. After several minutes of treating her wounds and covering her with gauze and bandages, including one that stuck out above her head, Konan quickly left the place and decided to go into the cave, and with one of the few papers she had she improvised a bonfire to keep her company and light her way through the cave, it seemed like a somewhat steep descent in her opinion, the truth is she didn't know where she was, the last thing she remembered was being unconscious and it seemed like the water submerged her, something that was very convenient since knowing Tobi he would have surely killed her, she didn't know if this was part of his Genjutsu or maybe.
"I-Is this place... Purgatory?!" Konan said to herself in a scared tone.
Something told her that she should rather go back to where she woke up and that it was better to swim towards the surface of the great lake of Amegakure, but another part of her told her that the other way was not a good idea either, in turn something in this cave seemed to be calling her, it would be instinct... or maybe a higher force. In any case after a good while of descending in this underwater cave, maybe about 20 minutes or more, Konan soon came across the first curious thing a well carved stone floor which led to a staircase, then Konan saw strange figures and paintings that represented something, but she could not identify them as something she knew, after walking for about two minutes she came across a light that led to a door, Konan found that door very strange and even more so in what seemed to be the depths of the sea, or really her thought that she was dead and this place was limbo with each passing second seemed more a logical reason for her of why all this was happening. Fear invaded her, but again that force told her to continue, was she afraid that Enma and Yama, the Kings of Hell, would find her as an evil soul? No, she applied all her efforts to build peace, even if they were not the fairest means, but in a World so rotten to the core it was the only thing she and Nagato could do, even if that meant killing people, in the end the Jinchuriki were only raised as weapons of mass destruction for wars, in short people who do not care about their feelings or dreams or personality, they are just tools without thought or future, just mere tools to do evil, and they the Akatsuki did a good thing to the world by eliminating the Jinchuriki from the face of the Earth, only Naruto Uzumaki was an exception, but the rest were a bunch of inferior beings according to her.
"What am I thinking? Is this a test from the Beyond? Or is it...?" Konan said to herself because of those instant thoughts.
In any case, in the end she decided to cross that door that led to the light and when she did the sight surprised her, instead of seeing something like a place on fire or a huge demon, what she saw was an enormous road that led to a gigantic city of very old appearance and in the distance she saw enormous mountains, but not as big at the distance that she thought she was and below she saw something that she never expected.
"That place down there is…! It's Amegakure! But how? How did I get up here? So that wasn't an underwater cave, but then my battle against Tobi… this doesn't make sense." Konan questioned herself.
"Huh? Now that she looked at this place it looks very old, I still wonder how it was hidden from the world all this time. It will be better if there is an exit." Konan said to herself.
After advancing a little, she came across the remains of what seemed to be a prosperous city, covered in goods and treasures, however, there was something that caught Konan's attention, an equilateral triangle in a perfect circle on top of a wall of an important construction, that same symbol was the same one that one of her former fallen companions had on a medallion.
"That symbol… What is it doing here?! Tsk, every second I spend here I only have more questions!" Konan mortified herself.
After walking for a while towards the building where the symbol was and crossing some stairs upwards, she came to an altar, quite dirty and neglected, there was nothing interesting, there seemed to be remains of knives, liquids and other things.
However, before leaving there, Konan saw something that she didn't pay attention to the first time, a chest next to what seemed to be a fairly large altar.
"… I don't know what I'm doing… maybe it's curiosity… but I feel like it's something else that calls me." Konan said to herself while sighing.
And after a few minutes of thinking about it, her curiosity finally got the better of her and she decided to open the chest, coming across a mask, its shape is similar to the beaks of birds, mostly black with some white edges and in the eye area, there are green lenses with bronze outlines, it seemed to be made of metal, a very light one when Konan inspected it but she couldn't recognize it, there was also a black top hat and on the string are some glasses with the same lenses as the mask, both very well preserved despite the fact that this place looked very old, too old according to Konan's perception.
She wasn't one for masks, she only used a few in her life, so it didn't seem good or bad to her, the only thing she found was strange but strangely attractive, maybe try it for a little moment... No, she had to hurry up to find the way out of this place... although another part told her that she wasn't in such a hurry either... besides trying it wouldn't hurt, right?
"Uhm… I'm just fooling around, because of what happened, total despair and hopelessness… Now I just want to relax and maybe think of something different so I can have inner peace and… Have enough strength and mentality to face Tobi again later!" Konan said to herself.
"I deserve a rest after a difficult task! In any case, I already came up with a new idea to face Tobi… If I use a Million Paper Bombs… No, wait, if I use an enormous amount even greater than a Million and detonate it for more than Ten Minutes this time, I will kill him for good! Yes, I will use that! But first… I will rest and soothe my wounds, and then I will move heaven and earth to find and kill Tobi!" Konan said to herself with a satisfied smile as she lay down for a moment and then partially stood up.
"Well, I'll just fool around for a bit." Konan said with a smile, putting on the bird-shaped mask, probably a crow.
"Wow, despite having to be a huge amount of time, this mask fits me perfectly, maybe I'll keep it on when I get stressed and…" However, Konan couldn't finish her sentence.
Suddenly it began to glow and protuberances appeared that pierced her face causing the blue-haired girl enormous pain, she desperately tried to take off the strange mask that caused her so much pain, but it was impossible, the mask clung to her as if it were another part of her and soon it would be, the protuberances spread throughout her body covering her body with a bright green aura.
Soon the screams of pain and fear ceased, and the light disappeared, soon the raven-shaped mask fell from her face to the side of what seemed to be Konan's lifeless body... only for the mask to be stopped at the last second by a hand, that hand being Konan's, who in less than a blink and only using her heels stood up at once with a very different air than she had a moment ago, her hair on the tips was slightly raised and her eyes changed color from a deep silver color to a deep emerald green and with it came a stoic look, calm but at the same time as if it were that of a beast.
"How strange... now I don't feel pain, on the contrary, I feel better, better than I've ever been." Konan said still with her stoic look looking around the paintings and writings of the ancient city.
"Huh, I didn't understand before, but now this writing seems clearer than water and this place feels more like returning home." Konan smiled maliciously.
"I don't know why I feel this way, but deep inside I feel like I've come home and that I have a much more important task than following Tobi… No, it's something bigger, a purpose, a dream of my own and an ideal of my own that comes from me and only me." Konan said, returning to her stoic face.
And after a last look at the city and the mask she was holding, she soon smiled again with malice, it was as if she had found her true purpose, maybe it was destiny that wanted her to survive, it was as if a force similar to gravity had drawn her here, and given her something very valuable to her and it was precious, having time… All the Time in the World just for her! Which made her laugh out loud.
15 years later…
October 22, 2022 – Crane Edge Mountain, Rain Country
"It's been too long since I discovered this place, 15 years, 4 months and 15 days to be exact. Since then, I have dedicated myself completely to the study and analysis of this place, and after much effort, I finally discovered one of the greatest mysteries that humanity has made since its origins, time and knowing it. I still have a long way to go, but I achieved something that is worthy of a great science fiction and fantasy book. I achieved it 10 years, 7 months and 14 days ago when I finished my studies and increased my knowledge. I, Necro Karasu, achieved the feat of time travel!" A voice came from the distance in the mountains of the Land of Rain as if it were a recorder. It was not possible to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman. "Everything I say may seem crazy and stupid to be obsessed with the remains of a people that have been extinct for more than ten thousand years before even the concept of Ninja or Chakra existed, but if I told you that by a mere common act of laziness I suddenly had an illumination in my mind that gave me everything to understand it, you would undoubtedly tell me that I have fallen into madness, but it is the truth, the absolute truth that contains this mask called by the ancient locals of this enormous city as "The Mask of the Future" a strange mask that has supernatural powers capable of mutating and giving unlimited potential to a human and more those people related to the mask." Said the voice that seemed recorded. "15 years, 4 months and 15 days ago, when the first test subject appeared, after almost drowning and appearing on the watery edge of the mountain peak that was used for rituals, that person, out of mere instinct and fear, went down to the ruins of the city, and just out of curiosity about the mask that still contains the vital essence, acted on it. Then more came, either through failed drowning or as mere explorers, all of them experienced the power of the mask firsthand; if they did not resist, they would die from being weak. This mask was used in the rituals of a horrible religion called Jashinism, with an evil named god known as Jashin, a rather crude and insulting name, its members used the mask to obtain the power of the Mask, Immortality, however only very few succeeded, but they only reached the first state, a Voodoo Human, I for my part entered the second state, a Vampire, but there is still a long way to go to obtain the maximum power that I will only get if I master time, traveling in time is only the first step to achieve it ... Master Time and Be the Ultimate Life Form to create the Perfect Timeline. "Said the indistinguishable voice that seemed recorded in the distance.
" Right now, I have finished my last job that will allow me to achieve a more complex time travel, the creation of parallel Universes through the deformation of timelines. My experiments are over, I no longer need the test subjects I have had, right now in 2 days around 10:26 p.m. a change would occur that would alter the memory of the entire world, a product of what seems to be the alteration of an Erementiajin or rather by having the power of that Erementiajin, it only caused a change in this timeline, you will not know which one it is because it is a moment that I did to know an answer which I confirmed positive but it changes badly in my opinion for not considering other factors but I no longer care about losing there because, I won more by losing than you by winning Obito Uchiha alias Tobi the Masked! Thanks to you I have managed to surpass all of Humanity! After obtaining this power and studying the ruins, I discovered the freak Shin that I used as bait, he sent a signal that caught the attention of the Erementiajin Momoshiki and Kinshiki, now that I have obtained everything I need, this Timeline is no longer useful to me, you are all free to do what you want! Konan's Log 253… No, Necro Karasu the Next Life in a Definitive Form." The voice recording in the mountains ended.
And yet it was not heard by anyone, in fact, the ancient city was lonely and a sepulchral void invaded it along with a cylindrical object with a wheel on the ground made of metal and a strange plastic… Right now, I can't say what will happen, but I know that the power of the Mask is unleashed and will invade the Past Time to create something New.
