Revenge of the YellowFlash Part 2 Chapter 11

With no questions asked Naruto dashes at Sasuke with incredible speed. Sasuke pulls out his katana and Naruto grabs his kunai as their weapons connect.

Sasuke: To think I actually thought you would be happy to see me.

Naruto: You would think so huh?

Sasuke slides backwards separating himself from Naruto.

Sasuke: Don’t tell me this is a pathetic attempt to get me to come back to the village.

Naruto: Still as arrogant as ever. I would never waste my time on you, I have my own problems to worry about.

Sasuke: Like the Akatsuki?

Naruto: Among others, I’m going to be the bringer of true peace.

Sasuke: So you are out to change the world? Haha, Naruto you haven’t changed. You are still chasing after dreams.

Naruto: I will make my dreams into a reality once I bring down Akatsuki and the great nations.

Sasuke: So it’s true then, you have left the village. And seemed to have teamed up with Gaara or should I say the Kazekage. I would guess the only reason you are here is because you need Naruto’s help to conquer your village but I don’t understand why Naruto.

Gaara: You would never understand the life of a Jinchuuriki. I am no longer filled with the same hatred that drives you two but I can understand Naruto and his goals. You are the one I can’t understand.

Sasuke: I am an avenger. I will hold those accountable for the death of my clan including this entire ninja system. The only question is, who will stand at the top of the shinobi world when this is all over?

Naruto: Before, I never could understand you. I tried so hard to be like you, to be as strong as you. Now I wonder why I even bothered. What drives you is so unimportant and forgettable. I see now you will die as irrelevant as your clan is now. Known for nothing more than creating more hatred and prolonging the fight for peace.

Sasuke: …….I allowed you to live three years ago on a whim, Naruto. After only a few minutes of seeing you after all this time I want to kill you more than ever.

Naruto: That’s funny because I am itching to kill you.

As soon as Sasuke takes a step forward Itachi appears along side him.

Itachi: Stand down Sasuke.

Naruto: Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi: It’s been a long time Naruto, you’ve grown.

Naruto: So I keep hearing.

Itachi: You and Sasuke won’t be fighting today. I understand that you two have unfinished business but you are going to have to deal with them some other time.

Naruto: What are you two up to? You have three Jinchuuriki in front of you and yet you do nothing?

Itachi: Right now, you Jinchuuriki is of no concern to us. We will take care of our problems with our own power.

Sasuke: We will meet again Naruto, count on it!

Itachi and Sasuke disperse.

Ni’i: You guys are filled with drama. What’s next on our agenda?

Naruto: There was one more Jinchuuriki I managed to get intel on before I left Akatsuki.

Gaara: Where is this one?

Far away in the village of  Enka a large man with seven swords and tatoos placed on his shoulder and face stands with an old man named Sabu making music.

Sabu: You actually had it that time but it got kind of weak at the end, Bee.

KillerBee: I am working as hard as I can, do you hear what I’m sayin?

Sabu: You are the eight-tails and you can’t get this right!? How are you ever able to win a fight!?

KillerBee: I’m the best in these streets, don’t you dare call me weak! I’m the Eight-tails KillerBee!

Meanwhile, outside the Land of Iron Minato and Hidan face off.

Minato: I’ll say it again, hand over the tailed beasts.

Hidan: Lord Jashin has delivered you to me so I can finally put an end to the YellowFlash.

Minato: Then I have no choice.

Minato throws a volley of shuriken. Hidan swings his scythe in front of him deflecting the shuriken. Hidan turns around and both Samurai ninja are already knocked unconscious.

Hidan: So you are fast.

Hidan turns around and is shocked Minato is directly in his face.

Minato: You have no idea.

Minato punches him in the face sending him flying. While in the air Hidan pulls the iron wire that’s connected to his scythe, the scythe plunges directly into Minato slicing his body in half. As Hidan lands on his feet he sees a pile of wood on the ground showing that Minato used a substitution. Realizing Minato is underground, Hidan jumps into the air and smashes his scythe into the ground causing the earth floor to cave in on itself. Minato bursts from the ground forming hand signs, Fire Style: Dragon Flame bomb! The fire ball thrusts forward at Hidan but right before it hits Hidan bats it with his scythe sending it flying back towards Minato causing a large explosion.

Hidan: I GOTCHA YOU YELLOW HAIRED FREAK!!!

Minato: (Appearing behind Hidan with a full powered Rasengan) It’s over, Rasengan!

Just as Hidan turns around Minato buries his Rasengan into his stomach as he screams in pain. While Minato successfully completes his attack Hidan takes advantage of the close contact and cuts Minato in the face with a kunai. The Rasengan explodes sending Hidan flying into a few trees. Moments later Hidan walks out of the debris laughing hysterically.

Hidan: HAHAHAHA, I GOT YOU NOW YOU BASTARD!

Hidan takes out a long spear and stabs himself in the hand while a large amount of blood falls to the ground in a puddle. Hidan uses his foot to draw a large symbol into the ground. He then takes the kunai in which he cut Minato with and licks the blood off of it. Suddenly his body transforms as he stands in the center of the blood red symbol.

Minato: What is he up too!?

Hidan continues on his hysterical laughing as he stabbed himself in the shoulder with is spear. Suddenly, Minato feels a sharp pain to his shoulder as blood spews from his body and he falls to his knees.

Minato: What happened!? How am I damaged? He didn’t even touch me!

Hidan: That felt good. Let’s try it again!

Hidan takes his spear and stabs himself in the same shoulder pushing the spear all the way through as Minato screams in agony and falls on one knee.

Hidan: You get it now! You are going to die!

Minato: The exact same injuries that are inflicted on his body are also inflicted on mine!

Hidan rips out the spear and aims at his heart. As he tries to stab himself Minato body flickers right in front of him catching him by the hand.

Hidan: You can’t beat me now, you are not strong enough!

Minato: You are completely nuts! If you stab yourself in the heart you’ll die too!

Hidan: I’m immortal, I’ll never die! You are the one who’s going to die!

Minato: I won’t let you!

Hidan: It’s too late! As long as I’ve completed my ritual there’s nothing you can do!

Minato: That’s it!

Minato pushes the spear into the air and spins around quickly and kicks him in the chest sending him flying out of the symbol.

Minato: (Grabbing his chest) I guess the pain was worth it sense I finally understand your technique.

Hidan: WHAT!?

Minato: Yeah, thanks to your big mouth, I understand what I have to do.

Hidan: Lord Jashin is going to make you pay!

Hidan dashes forward slashes at Minato with his scythe. Minato ducks and kicks him into the air. After following him into the air, Minato starts to hit him with strong blows to his body and spins around and kicks him into the ground.

Hidan: (Desperately standing up) I’m going to crush you!

Minato: Give up! I won’t let you complete your ritual ever again.

Hidan: That!? You think I need that!?

Hidan forms hand signs, Secret Sealing Art: Jashin Seal!

Hidan’s Akatsuki robe bursts open and the Jashin symbol forms on his chest.

Hidan: Now it’s truly over.

Minato: I have to stop him quickly!

Minato teleports to Hidan but he has already stabbed himself in the stomach with his spear. Minato falls to his knees clinching his wound as blood falls through his fingers.

Minato: Secret Ninja Art: Demon Shadow Hand!

Minato’s right hand turns pail white and black sealing marks form all over it as his finger nails turn long and sharp and chakra covers his entire hand.

Hidan: What are you doing!?

Minato forces his hand into Hidans body as he screams in agony and surprisingly starts to rip out Hidans soul.

Hidan: NOOOO!

Hidan starts to push the spear in his stomach furthering the pain and injuring that he’s inflicting on Minato. Minato falls to his knees as blood falls from his mouth.

Minato: I don’t have time, I have to hurry!

Minato pulls out Hidans entire soul. Hidan falls down face first into the ground. While holding his soul in his hand, Hidan soul starts to burn in flames and the soul disappears into the smoke and Minato’s hand goes back to normal.

Minato: You were a formidable opponent but your soul belongs to the death reaper now.

Minato falls on the ground unconscious.

Back in the Enka village inside a dark, dank cave, Killerbee wraps up his training and walk out of the cave and is greeted by Sabu.

Sabu: Alright, you’ve completed your training. Now you should be in the right state of mind to improve your rapping skills.

Killerbee: I was hoping for a little rest so I can be back at my best.

Naruto: (Appearing in front of them along with Gaara and Ni’i) You can rest later! Right now you’re coming with me!

Killerbee: Who is this mothafucka!?

The two Anbu ninja arrive to Minato’s aid healing him with medical ninjutsu. Moments later Minato is on his feet again.

Minato: It looks like this was a decoy. The tailed beasts were never in these sealing pots. He must have already given them to Madara and used these pots as a decoy just in case someone was following him and I fell for it.

Anbu1 : That means Akatauki has gotten two more of our bijuu and have become even more dangerous.

Anbu 2: I seen you use the Dead Demon Sealing technique.  Shouldn’t you be dead right now?

Minato: Yeah, the user of the Dead Demon Seal dies after using the jutsu but that was then. Over the years I’ve found ways of using the technique without putting my life in danger.

Itachi and Sasuke appear in a large cloud of smoke.

Anbu 2: Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi: You must feel foolish, Minato, to be tricked by Akatsuki.

Minato: I wondered why I felt a sudden urge of nostalgia. I guess something in me knew you were coming.

Anbu 1: We’ll take it from here, Yondaime.

Itachi: I’m not here to fight, just wanna talk.

Anbu 2: Then talk!

Itachi: I’ve only come to warn you.

Minato: About?

Itachi: The upcoming storm. The truth is we are going after Akatsuki and the bijuu.

Minato: What do you mean the bijuu?

Itachi: I mean we are going to destroy all of the tailed beasts and end this once and for all, fixing the mess the Rikudo Sage left us all those years ago. This really has nothing to do with you. We are the true heirs to this world and it’s up to us to bring peace.

Minato: My son is also a descendant of the Rikudo Sage and a Jinchuuriki and I will do any to protect him.

Itachi: I would love to give Naruto a pass but my brother isn’t so forgiving. He even plans on taking me down when this is all over.

Minato: (Staring at Sasuke) What the hell, there are so many different shinobi with different agendas in this war I’ve lost count. It doesn’t even matter what you say because I’ll make sure the end will rule in the favor of the shinobi world.

Sasuke: You talk tough. Maybe I should just get rid of you now.

Minato: Kid, you have a long way before you can do that.

Out of nowhere Anbu ninja 1 appears behind Sasuke.

Anbu 1: It’s been a long time, Sasuke.

Sasuke quickly activates his Sharingan as the Anbu ninja throws a punch at the back of his head. Sasuke moves to the side right before the punch connects and grabs the hilt of his sword and quickly spins around slicing at the Anbu ninja.

Minato: What the hell are you doing?

Anbu: If you won’t stop them right here and now I will, Minato-sensei.

Minato: Minato-sensei?…. Kakashi!

The Anbu ninja activates a Raikiri with one hand and pulls off his mask with the other revealing himself to be Kakashi.

Kakashi: Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha, I think it’s time I show you why I earned my nick name, the Copy Ninja.

The Black Flames 13 – Expansion

“Ahhh I see” Fugaku admired as he walked from the throne of the Uchiha fortress to look closer at the summons presented before him, “I remember during the 2nd Shinobi War, he used this technique.” Fugaku walked to the one named Tobirama, the man’s eyes were closed his hair like snow above them. “But his ability was limited, he felt it too harsh to bring back the dead by killing enemy soldiers, it was my father that pushed for the use of the ability.” Fugaku finally stopped near Hashirama, his dark hair covering most of his eyes, “To think they would become the puppets of their own creation!” Orochimaru began making hand signs as the earth began to tremble, the ground opened and the three summons where placed back into the coffins. “This is not all the fighters I have, I have… collected a few others in my life.” Orochimaru finally walked back to the door. “I know I can never return to Konoha, but this fortress will serve me well, give me what I want and I will be an unstoppable force in the expansion of your Village.” Fugaku watched as Orochimaru smiled, “Fine you may have this base but you will be limited in your test subject to most prisoners captured by our forces.” Fugaku smiled, his sharingan activated.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The Rain Village

Itachi watched the rain from inside the tower, the wind whipped it into the glass window before him like daggers they seemed to attack him one after the other relentlessly. “So you have put away his body?” Itachi asked, not turning from the window seeing Pain’s body appear behind him. “I have made use of the body but I have stored it in a special location for now.” Pain walked to the nearby seat, the table of stone laying before him. “You have learnt a lot in the short time you have been in Akatsuki, Itachi, but you must know that you can never reveal this as our location, Kisame is under the impression he is meeting you near our borders and will be returning to normal missions from that point forward.” Itachi watched Pain’s reflection as he spoke. “I understand, Pain, but what of the boy” “He will remain here under my protection, I will be able to defend him and know of any intruder as it happens.” Pain took a map out of his pocket, lying it on the table. “I want you to see something” Pain pointed to the map, Itachi slowly turned to face the man looking to the map in front of him. “We have this area now, the Fire and Wind country seem to be reaching an economic and military agreement as we speak, as now neither have a Tailed Beast they feel they are under threat by the Lightning and Rock Nations respectively.” Pain moved his finger over the map as he spoke.

“We are placed in the middle, if these two forces join it will create tension with the 4 of the 5 Nations planning war. With Tobi keeping the Mist weakened under his rule. We will face a force never seen before, and like the previous war the Rain Village and the Villages near us will be used as the battle ground.” Pain pointed out a line of villages on the map, Grass, Waterfall and Hot Spring Villages as he made a line between the 4 Great Nation’s, “This will be the new buffer, by uniting these Villages under the control and protection of the Akatsuki we will be able to prevent war.” Pain looked up at Itachi again. “You will head to the Grass Village and Waterfall. Their Villages have the most powerful Ninja forces.” “Nut that would mean your borders expand, wouldn’t that be a bad thing?” Itachi watched the line grow to meet at the sea again. “It is a risk but we have some of the most powerful shinobi in the world here, we will begin this expansion through military strength, we will also be able to strike any of these nations at any time. This will create unease and pressure will begin to rise, each Village will keep its name and its pride for now but the Military will covert to an Organized military the size of any of the great nations. We will continue to charge low rates for High level missions this will suffocate the bigger nations economy.” Itachi could see the wide spread starvation this could cause, the pain, the suffering of the other Villages. “Also seperating them will mean Ttade will be impossible between them, and alliances will be difficult to keep under these tensions, with no mediators or meetings unless we allow them through out land.” Pain paused a moment to stand, leaving the map to roll up again. He walked past Itachi walking to the window where he had been standing.

“Do you know how these small villages truly began?” Pain began almost sensing Itachi’s resistance to the plan, “The Greater Nations granted independence to these nations the borders where made and they used them ever since as buffers for war…” Pain paused as he remembered his friends the original Akatsuki, “They knew creating these villages would protect them, I am just wanting to show them that it is not right to use someone smaller than you.” “Is that why you won’t train Naruto?” Itachi asked, remembering the discussion he heard earlier between the two. “That and he is not in line with the goal.”

“You will head East to meet Kisame, I will begin preparations to the North, West and South.” Pain then turned walking out the door again. Stopping a moment in its threshhold, “You will need to watch out for Orochimaru too, he seems to have moved away from Konoha. How did you defeat Jiraiya’s technique?” Pain asked not looking back. “I removed the toads on his shoulders by striking the summons they disappeared quickly.” Itachi replied picking up his straw hat that concealed most of his face.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Naruto was so unsure of what he had seen today, the old book now lying at the bottom of his bed began to dry slightly, the moisture of the room made it take long but Naruto just waited, wondering why he was given this book by a complete stranger was dying, ‘He knew my name’ Naruto thought, ‘but his forehead protector didn’t look like Konoha’s. “Naruto.” Came a soft voice from the door, as Naruto looked up he saw Konan standing waiting to come in. “Hey Konan” Naruto’s voice less enthusiastic. “What’s wrong?” she asked moving closer to the bed, grabbing the nearby metal chair, scrapping it on the hard stone floor. “Its this book, I am not sure if it will ever dry, and I wanna read it.” Naruto pointed to the book trying to make it open but many of the pages stuck together. “Let me help” Konan reached towards the paper pages and began to push her chakra into it. Naruto watched amazed as the book’s pages began to heal but the coloring stayed at parts red from the blood spilled on it. “That is the best I can do, Naruto.” Handing the book back to the young boy. “The color won’t go back, like the blood spilt in the fight today, but there are things that can heal, with enough strength you can fix a lot.” With that Konan stood up, leaving the young boy to read.

The Black Flames 12 – Realization of Pain

“Sage Art.” Jiraiya moved to the light, his face larger and full of warts. “Though it is imperfect, I need to use this now.” Jiraiya said to himself, before dodging another Fireball, “So you found me?” he scoffed, “Sage Art: Hair Needle Barrage!” the long white hair began to fly towards Itachi, standing still for a moment he quickly threw shuriken to deflect each hair pin flying towards him. “Just as I would expect from a Sannin” Itachi’s voice was respectful but dull.

Itachi ran to Jiraiya dodging the incoming attacks, “That is just what I wanted!” Jiraiya scoffed, creating a ball of spinning chakra in his hand, “Rasengan!” he pushed towards Itachi’s chest landing straight in the middle, though Itachi disappeared in a cloud of crows. “Your genjutsu won’t work on me this time! Sage Art: Goemon!” Jiraiya turned to face Itachi, the flames reaching him within seconds. “Amaterasu!” Itachi’s flames reached the the wave of Fire and Oil but it could not burn it fast enough, Itachi jumped onto a nearby building retreating from the battle with Jiraiya. “You seem to have a lot more energy now, Jiraiya.” Itachi began as he landed on the nearby building, “But I must finish this. Here, and now.”

Itachi’s body began to emit a red glow, Jiraiya look to see a ribcage forming around him. “This is my ultimate jutsu, Susanoo.” with that Itachi’s body was surrounded by red chakra, Jiraiya watched as the muscle grew around the newly formed bones. “What dark chakra!” Jiraiya was shocked. “This is no time to be sitting around Jiraiya!” Fukasaku shouted quickly, “Right!” Jiraiya put his hand to the side, building up a giant Rasengan. “I will finish you with this!” Jiraiya leaped in the air towards Itachi the ball of Chakra in his hand growing larger as he got closer.

The Rasengan impacted just before Itachi, the armor seemed to split slightly as he pushed towards the young man from Konoha. “What!” Jiraiya shocked as Susanoo grew stronger beneath his ultimate technique, “I am sorry Jiraiya, this is where it must end.” Itachi’s eyes looked deep into Jiraiya’s.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Front Gates of Konoha,

“You failed?” Fugaku shouted at Ratio in disbelief, “you had him trapped yet he was able to escape. You weakling!” with that Fugaku left Ratio walking back to the village center. “Kukukuku” came a laugh from just behind them. “My my, what a temper Lord Hokage.” the slivering voice of Orochimaru rang out. “Orochimaru? You dare enter this land?!” Fugaku began turning to face the Sannin, his eyes filled with killing intent. “Please, I know what you want and now that Konoha is under new management… I thought you could make good use of my services again.” Orochimaru stood firm looking at Fugaku.

“How could you help me?” Fugaku asked, making sure to keep Orochimaru in his sight at all times, “I have abandoned that organization Akatsuki to join forces with Konoha again. All I ask for is a Sharingan!” Orochimaru’s snake eyes staring hungrily at Fugaku’s. “Lets discuss this in a more private setting.” Fugaku raised his eyebrow to Ratio as to say, ‘Keep quiet or you die!’ Ratio watched shocked as the Leader of Konoha walked away with one of its worst enemies.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Naruto finally arrived at the scene of the fire, looking around as the black flames engulfed everything they touched, “I wonder what happened here!?” Naruto shouted as Gaara arrived right after him, “I hate this rain, I can’t use my sand here!” Gaara complained as he arrived next to Naruto, “Over there!” Naruto ran through the small corridor between the buildings, the smell of blood growing stronger as he made his way to the exit.

When he came out, he saw a man with white hair lying in a pool of blood and rain. “Naruto? What are you doing here!?” Naruto heard Itachi scream from the side of the building, “Wha… What happened here!?” the man before Naruto began to move again, he looked towards Naruto, his eyes almost devoid of life now but still a glimmer remaining as he saw the boy.

Jiraiya could see Naruto, his vision was blurred and he could feel his lung had collapsed, “Na…ru…to,” he forced the words out, Itachi soon landed at the edge of the building making his way to Jiraiya. The man with white hair continued to rummage through his backpack trying his hardest to lift his head above the pool he was lying in. ”
“This is for you.” with that the man brought out a book, small and torn, the water soaking some of the pages giving them a red tint as it was absorbed. Naruto quickly ran to pick up the book before it was completely destroyed by the water. “Who are you?” Naruto asked but was too late, he saw the old man lying there in his own blood, dead.

“That is what it means to be a ninja,” Naruto heard the voice of Pain coming. “You still wish for this power.” he continued walking past the young boy, not turning to face him Naruto simply looked at the title of the book, unsure of his answer. Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi he read, watching the rain fall down the leather cover like tear drops, “I… I…” Naruto spoke so soft he could barely hear it himself as the storm grew stronger, “Go back both of you!” Itachi finally shouted, “We don’t have time for this now!” Pain stopped before the man known as Jiraiya, “This was my Sensei at one point” his words where empty, as he looked at the blood flow into the earth. “This is not the first blood that has been spilt into this land and it will not be the last!”

Naruto turned away, crying for the man he had never met, for the dream that man could never achieve. Though the Rain hid his tears, the sorrow could be seen on his face.

“Itachi, I know that was difficult for you,” Pain spoke to Itachi, his voice filled with respect towards his comrade, “I will deal with the body, make sure your flames do not engulf more of the Village.” with that Pain grabbed the body and jumped towards the nearby building and out of Itachi’s line of sight. Itachi began taking the flames out, saving the buildings. Luckily this side of the Village had been evacuated long before the battle began by Konan’s signal.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Far outside Konoha,

“Ah so this is the Uchiha old fortress?” Orochimaru began looking to the walls, the hall was dark and round. “Yes it is, we once owned all this land before a small faction took control.” Fugaku watched Orochimaru carefully. “Don’t worry Fugaku.” Orochimaru began looking away and around at the room. “I know your eyes are something special, I wouldn’t go against it.” Orochimaru laughed as he said the last words. “It would seem my fellow sannin is dead, Jiraiya.”

“What?! That cannot be! We have tracers on him, he is currently moving to the Mist Village!” Fugaku shouted, “kukuku, that is a toad you are following, brilliant ability he has but, he is definitely dead, I left one of my snakes with a member of Akatsuki, he recorded the entire battle and got me some of my old friend’s DNA.” Orochimaru’s voice was smug as he began drawing a circle in the ground around him in Blood. “Summoning Jutsu” with that a small snake appeared holding a glass of blood. “You see I have mastered the 2nd’s jutsu” he started, summoning 3 shinobi wearing the Cloud Village headbands, “Edo Tensei!” with that their bodies began to crumble and a strange mist began to engulf them, Three Boxes came out the ground where they had been kneeling. “Let me introduce you to my power, Hashirama, Tobirama and Jiraiya!” as Orochimaru spoke the doors to the coffins fell revealing the two Hokage and the dead Sannin.

 

The Black Flames 11 – Peace

You are my only friend’ came a voice from inside Itachi’s head, he looked into Ratio’s Sharingan perplexed by its color. “Ratio, what is that?” Itachi began, trying to use his strength to dispel this genjutsu, “This…” Ratio moved his finger over his left eye, almost completely covering his blue eyes, “This is my burden, of being an Uchiha but constantly mocked as an outsider.” Ratio’s words were heavy with emotion, Itachi could literally feel his agony but this was not a genjutsu Itachi had ever experienced.”I see you are trying to dispel this jutsu, but I can tell you now this is not genjutsu, it is the curse of this eye, while most Sharingan are known for the power of perception, my eyes pushes out all information within me.” Ratio stopped watching Itachi sinking slowly into the mud beneath him. “I remember the day my Sharingan activated. It was the best and worst day of my life!”

Without making a move, Ratio’s memory of that day entered Itachi’s mind, he could feel the pain Ratio felt watching his comrades being killed, and the guilt he felt knowing it was all his fault. “You see,” Ratio lifted the patch back on his eye, “my sharingan pushes out my internal thoughts, and I have no control of it. This was the curse I was given.” Ratio looked away for a moment, his heart felt heavy in what he needed to do now. “I must kill you Itachi, to make things right for me.” with that Ratio reached for his Shuriken bag, pulling one out in one quick swoop.

The air around Itachi began to quiver, as a man in a orange mask just appeared. “Sorry, I still have need for Itachi.” the man said in a calm manner, Ratio stood stunned he had never seen a jutsu like this before, and in one fell swoop the man in the mask disappeared with Itachi. Nothing was left but the hole in the ground where he was trapped.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The edge of the Rain Village.

“All my data on Akatsuki led me here.” Jiraiya began, seemingly talking to himself more than the toad standing beside him, “Yeah yeah! Why did you summon me, Jiraiya?! I got shit to do!” the Toad croaked to Jiraiya. “Haha, I need you to do something for me, you see this vial of liquid?” Jiraiya took a small vial from around his neck and gave it to the Toad, “I need you to head towards the Mist village almost in a completely opposite direction, I cannot allow Konoha to get their hands on the Nine Tailed Fox.” Jiraiya seemed serious now, “Sure thing but you know this is gonna weaken you to enemies right?” the toad complained as he hopped away in the opposite direction. ‘I wonder if they’re still alive.’ Jiraiya thought as he moved into the rain.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

“Konan!” came a voice from the main room. “Wait here Naruto. I need to go to Lord Pain.” Konan was worried, Pain had never raised his voice like this before, She walked down towards the meeting room where she could hear the voices of men arguing. As she turned the corner, she saw Itachi, Tobi and Pain all standing near the center of the room. “Ah please come in, beautiful Konan.” Tobi said his voice light but with a sinister ring. “I have brought Itachi back from Konoha, Kisame is also on his way here.” “What are you doing, bringing them here!” Konan gasped, “we don’t want to draw attention to ourselves, why do you think we meet outside in different nations…” Tobi simply lifted his hand to silence Konan which annoyed her to no end. Luckily it was Pain who spoke next. “I have already felt that someone has entered the billage Konan, I believe it’s Master Jiraiya. We need to dispose of him soon.” Pain’s sad voice barely reaching Konan through the sound of the heavy rain.

“I have reason to believe that Itachi will be useful in eliminating the threat so we do not need to give away our secrets.” Pain looked at Itachi who was silently thinking, his blood eed eyes surveying the room. “No!” Konan demanded, “He was our sensei so we need to fight him ourselves, Nagato!” Pain simply looked at Itachi ignoring Konan’s plea, “Fine I will find him and defeat him first.” with that Konan left the room. “Jiraiya is a powerful enemy” Pain began again ignoring Konan’s rebellious tone, “I shall fight him if Itachi fails, I will convert to Animal Path” with that Itachi stood walking towards the rain.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Edge of Amegakure.

“It’s been a while” Jiraiya thought to himself looking at the city around him, the smell of steel and rust filled the air. It almost smelled like blood. “You are trespassing here.” Jiraiya heard the voice of a female just above him, her wings spread out and the rain falling down all around. “Konan?” Jiraiya asked as he saw her face more clearly. “I am sorry Master Jiraiya, but we cannot let you leave here alive, you have seen and know too much.” with that Konan shot thousands of paper shuriken at Jiraiya, leaving him barely enough time to dodge, landing in a puddle not much further than his previous location. “We? Did the others survive too!?” Jiraiya demanded making hand signs as he did, “Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.” the flames didn’t even reach Konan’s wings. “By we she means me, Master Jiraiya.” Came a voice from behind Jiraiya. ‘It can’t be’ he thought to himself slowly turning to see the eyes of a sharingan staring at him. “Itachi!?”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Naruto was watching the rain falling outside his window when he saw a huge flame emerge from the western corner of the Village. ‘What was that?’ he thought to himself watching intently. He decided he would need to take a closer look, ‘but how to escape…” he knew the door was open and he had learnt a jutsu, if someone was fighting he would need to help. With that he grabbed a few utensils he was trying to create weapons with and ran as fast as he could through the hall, hearing the voices of the 2 men arguing on the other side, Naruto stopped just outside Gaara’s room, “Hey Gaara?” he whispered, “wanna see a ninja battle?” Naruto didn’t wait for his answer he simple opened the latch that kept Gaara in.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

“What are you doing here Itachi!?” Jiraiya shouted, Itachi simply brought his hands out of his Akatsuki jacket, bringing attention to it. Jiraiya quickly jumped, as another group of Paper Shuriken hit the ground just behind him. “Toad Oil!” Jiraiya turned covering Konan in the oily liquid. “Leave now Konan, I will finish this quickly so he does not suffer!” Itachi spoke softly, his voice filled with remorse. “Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.” Itachi shot a ball of fire towards Jiraiya, “Do not underestimate one of the Sannin!” Jiraiya quickly moved his hands and fired a fireball directly onto Itachi’s, moving quickly to get around Jiraiya finally got to Itachi but his body disappeared into crows. “Genjutsu!” Jiraiya thought to himself, trying to dispell the illusion. Focusing again to see Itachi unmoved standing before him. “You dispelled my regular Genjutsu. I am impressed usually only people who have my eyes can change so quickly… but I see you have used up most of your chakra.” Itachi again opened his eye, “Amaterasu!” Black Flames shot to Jiraiya. Itachi watched as he slowly melted. ‘A clone’ Itachi thought, looking around to see if Jiraiya was near.

Somewhere in the Rain Village.

‘I should never have put myself in this position’ Jiraiya was sweating as he struggled to catch his breath, ‘I have to use that jutsu.’ Jiraiya quickly bit his finger, “Summoning Jutsu” with that two small old frogs appeared before him. “Ah Jiraiya” the one began. “Are you inviting us to dinner, Jiraiya?” the old woman interrupted. “Fukasaku, Shima, I need your help. I need you to join with me to use Sage Mode.” the two old frogs looked at each other before hopping onto Jiraiya’s shoulders. “But after this we will all have dinner together,” the lady named Shima said as she placed herself on Jiraiya.

Forgotten Powers 0 – Prologue

This chapter is just here for a bit of explaining about the storyline. this chapter is a bit messy but i promise the others won’t be

*1635 BC*

During this time ninja ruled the world.

A girl around the age of 16 is tied to a pole. The girls long black hair covers her face but it’s obvious that she’s crying. A boy around the same age enters the room.

Boy: It’s weird, you are hated by both of our ruling clans but you still stay in the village.

Girl: I can’t help it that you guys don’t want your blood to merge.

Boy: Don’t insult my family!

The boy puts a kunai on the girls throat. And whispers in her ear.

Boy: I know what you have inside of you.

Girl: It won’t be here long! I’ll kill myself!

The boy makes a small cut with the kunai to shut her up, looking at the scars that wasn’t the first time.

Boy: I will make sure that you will give birth to my child!

The boy puts his kunai away and walks outside leaving the girl alone in the tent.

Girl: I hate all of you!

*8 months later*

The girl is pregnant and is fleeing from the village, she’s at the port.

Girl: If I flee I might be able to give this child a good future.

As she is about to enter a ship a huge wave sinks it, the girl looks behind her and sees the boy.

Boy: I won’t let you go that easily.

Girl: Then come and get me!

The boy slowly walks towards her and falls into a pitfall, the iron spears on the bottom instantly kill him.

Behind her a man appears and throws her to the ground, she recognizes him as the current leader of the village and the boy’s father, Tobirama Senju.

Girl: Damn, I should’ve known, that guy wouldn’t be able to sink a ship like that!

Tobirama: For killing my son I will not kill you, I will do something much worse!

Girl: Then, fulfill me a last wish.

Tobirama: What is it?

Girl: Don’t hate this child like you all hated me, give her a fair chance in this world!

Tobirama: Fine, I will raise it like my own.

Tobirama takes out a kunai and preforms a caesarean. The girl roars in pain as Tobirama didn’t give her any sedation. It takes all her willpower to not pass out as she wants to see her baby, it’s a girl! Tobirama stands up emotionless.

Tobirama: Now I will curse you!

Tobirama cuts his hand and draws symbols on the girls head, the chakra infused blood burns into her skin.

Tobirama: When you die you will be reborn inside another person, if your host dies you will die too and it starts all over again, you will never find peace!

Girl: There isn’t a curse that can’t be broken!

Tobirama: Because you are half Senju I will tell you, first layer can be unlocked if you by any chance happen to be born in a human from the Senju clan. The second will be unlocked if you and your host love each other. The third one…

The girl looks at his mouth but can’t figure out what he’s saying. slowly her vision also disspears.

Tobirama crushes the girls skull and walks away with the baby.

*30 years later*

The baby has grown up to be a beautiful woman, Tobirama named her Shizuka Senju. She lived a happy life and is pregnant. Her man is the successor of the Namikaze clan, Tsukune.

Shizuka: How shall we name him?

Tsukune: Him? how do you know it’s a boy?

Shizuka: Trust me I just know.

Tsukune: To be honest, I suck at this.

Shizuka: How about we name him Minato?

Tsukune: Where did you get that from?

Shizuka: Both my parents died at a port and I was born there so to honor that day.

Tsukune nods in agreement.

Tsukune: Minato Namikaze.

*627 BC*

The girl still hasn’t broken the curse and has seen a lot of things already. The ninjutsu they used in her age has been replaced by magic. It basically the same thing but due to all the bloodlines crossing each other the bloodline techniques are gone. Everyone can learn the magic that they want, they only need to find a teacher to practice it. The teacher doesn’t even have to be human since people have claimed to be trained by dragons and demons as well.

*963 AD*

The mages don’t rule the worlds anymore, people with no magic power have developed armor and weapons that can withstand the magic power. Eventually the mages were forced to surrender due to the overwhelming amount of enemies.

*1532 AD*

During the witch hunts most magic users have disappeared, those that survived practice it in secret or don’t practice it at all. The knights now rule the world.

*2000 AD*

The knights have fallen against modern technology long ago, now the only ones that fight close range are martial artists. However the martial arts won’t survive long since the government has declared a ban on it, everyone who practices martial arts will be executed.

*2100 AD*

The ban on martial arts has been lifted since there are only few left, Europe, Africa and the USA have been in a 3 way war. Both sides have nuked each other nonstop and completely turned the continents into a barren wasteland. Most other countries got involved or were nuked by accident, eventually they turned into a wasteland also. However only one country has suffered few losses, it’s called Japan. As soon as the war started they have managed to defend themselves against all kinds of nuclear attacks, it’s the only country that still runs like it’s supposed to.

Next chapter will take place in Japan 2128 AD
