Chapter 28 The END
The next day:
The people gathered around the hokage tower quickly, they were eager and chattering up a storm. The Third had ordered an assembly of all the village's people, claiming it was a state emergency.
Everyone as here, form the civilians to the academy students to even even present ninja, on a hiatus period or on the active roster. Even the clan heads had been summoned, though they were allowed to be on the roof of the hokage tower instead of with everyone else on the ground.
"What do you think is about?" the head of the Yakama clan asked the jonin commander Shikaku Nara.
The man yawned with a shrug, "no clue, the old man was pretty tight lipped about it."
I stood off in the distance with my team by my side, each of us silent, though Anko was fidgeting in curiosity.
And then, the door to the roof opened as two figures dressed in white robes with red highlights walked through and following right behind them was Naruto and Kakashi.
People gasped at the sight of the person before them. Minato smiled, "hello, it's nice to see you all again."
"M-Minato?" Asuma asked before snapping to the Third, "father is it really-"
Hiruzen nodded, "yes Asuma, it is."
"B-but how?" the Hyuuga head, Hinata's father, asked.
"Orochimaru was planning on using the Second's impure world resurrection jutsu to bring him back," Hiruzen explained, "when I sent out Yami," he motioned to me causing everyone to pare me a glance, "he found Minato's body being ready for revival. Using an S ranked secret method Yami was able to bring Minato back. He isn't just a corpse anymore, he's alive. He's back."
The elders and clan head were in shock. Minato chuckled as he walked past them and walked to the edge of the roof. The people slowly began to notice him. And then, they lost it.
It took a whole day, but they finally began to understand what happened. That night thought, they celebrated.
And the next day, it was judgement day. I still remember it, Naruto and I were at a grocery store to buy something to eat, we had skipped breakfast that day, focusing on training, and I refused to have ramen constantly.
We brought our groceries for checking out when the manager charged us three times the asking price. And that was when Minato came in.
It was scary to say the least. The man was merciless with the shopkeeper. He had physically grabbed him and thrown him out of the shop for calling his son worthless and when people began to gather around and asked Minato why he protected the 'thing' that once killed him, well, let's just say a few pants had turned brown.
That night the village was hit with a second rumour, the one about Naruto being Minato's son. Immediately several people had come to our apartment on their knees begging for forgiveness, it had gotten so bad I used a minor fire release jutsu to light their behinds on fire, sending them running away, screaming at the top of their lungs.
Three days later:
I sighed as I stretched my arms and legs, "remind me again why I agreed to do this?"
Sasuke glared, "to show me how much stronger you've gotten."
"Right...can't we just like play rock paper scissors or something?"
"No."
"Hell no!" Naruto cried out, his smile brighter than normal, "I'm going to be the next hokage! And there's no way I can do that without defeating you first Yami! Isn't that right dad?!"
We were all standing in training field seven. I and team seven stood facing each other while Minato, Kakashi, Hiruzen, Tayuya and Karin stood off in the side lines.
Minato chuckled, "that's right."
"I still don't understand how that's possible," Sakura murmured, "isn't he dead?"
"In this world Sakura, you just kind of roll with it," I sighed, "now then, how are we going to do this? One at a time? Or all at once?"
"Don't underestimate us," Sasuke drew his blade as Sakura put on her fighting gloves and Naruto formed twenty clones.
"Well then...what are we waiting for?" I grinned as I drew a kunai, "come at me punks."
"Yosh! Take this!" Naruto charged along with his clones. They began attacking me with kunai and shuriken as they slipped into the Disturbance style, leaping all around me in quick successions, doing their best to distract me and get a hit in.
"Naruto!" Sakura called out as she charged forward.
"Right!" a few clones remained while the rest leaped away. They attacked my side, keeping me in place, defending against them while Sakura managed to get close enough to threw a fist back and launch it into the ground.
"SHANNARO!" she cried out as the entire battle field exploded, throwing huge piles of rocks into the air, with me along with them.
"Damn," I gasped as I leaped from rock to rock, going with the upward force, "that's one impressive-"
"Kenjutsu: Uchiha style, searing flames," Sasuke's blade moved in a flash of silver. I had just enough time to block it with a kunai before managing to land a kick on his side and push him back, the both of us landing on opposite sides of the field.
"Damn, not bad," I replied, "if I was anyone else that sword strike would have cut off my head."
"Tsck," Sasuke hissed, "he's too fast."
"And that's him without his Swift Release," Naruto replied as he eyed me.
"Those eyes, their serious huh little brother," I grinned as I cracked my neck, "fine then. Let's begin. The first lesson of today."
I vanished from their view, Sakura grew to a panic as she looked around desperately, only Sasuke seemed to notice me as he immediately turned around and drew his blade just in time to stop Kusanagi from cutting off his head.
TING!
The Uchiha gasped as slowly my blade cut into his, slicing it off millimeter by millimeter. He tried to move away, disengaging from the fight when I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder and into a tree.
"You need to be quicker," I put away my blade and launched a kick into NAruto's gut, sending him into his clones, the force from the kick dispelling them all upon impact.
I turned to Sakura, she charged forward, fist ready. I grinned, if it was a test of strength she wanted, I would gladly give it to her.
Wonder Woman's Strength activated!
I charged up my fist and rushed forward, a fist drawn. We were about to clash when at the last moment I grabbed her right fist with my left arm and twisted, pushing her into the ground.
SNAP!
"GRAH!" Sakura cried out, her shoulder had been dislocated.
"Sakura!" NAruto cried out as he and Sasuke immediately charged at m. The Uchiha was faster as he slashed at my head with his blade. I held up a fist and caught the blade in my hand, squeezing hard enough to snap the blade in half.
"What the hell?" Sasuke asked, unbelieving at what just happened.
"Hands off!" Naruto charged in with ten clones. I immediately disengaged from Sakura and Sasuke and focused on the clones, allowing NAruto to take his team mates to safety.
It took me a minute to fight off all the clones, but by that time the three members of team 7 had vanished into the scenery, probably off planning their next step. I could easily track them with their chakra signatures, but I decided to allow the kids some breathing space, they would need it.
"He's not following them?" I heard Hiruzen ask allowed.
"He's giving them a chance to win," Kakashi observed.
"That's kind of stupid," Tayuya snorted, "isn't the point of this whole thing supposed to be who's stronger?"
"Well if that's the case I doubt those three would have lasted as long as they did," Minato noted, "no, I'm guessing Yami is more curious as to how far they have grown rather than who's stronger."
"Hm, from what you're saying you believe Yami there is stronger than Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura combined?" Hiruzen asked.
Minato nodded, "without a doubt."
"How strong?" Kakashi asked looking up from his book.
"He's the strongest ninja I have ever met," Minato declared, "definitely stronger than me."
I chuckled, "oh come on Minato, you're making me blush!"
"Doesn't mean it isn't true," Minato smiled.
Just then I felt them move. Naruto and a small clone army of his was heading towards me while Sasuke and Sakura were circling me in a pincer formation. This should be interesting enough.
Naruto exploded out of the tree lines and appeared before me. I smiled at the sight of him and his clones, "alright, did you guys form a plan yet?"
"You bet we did!" NAruto grinned as he made a hand seal, "it's time to show you the results of my hard work."
I smiled, "alright then, show me what you got!" I got ready to move in an instant, I was ready for whatever he had, whatever-
"Sexy Harem jutsu!" Naruto cried out as the entire forest was covered in a puff of smoke and standing in the army of clones was an army of large breasted blondes, smoke covering their privates and a lusty wanting look in their eyes.
"Master Yami," they moaned, "what do you think?"
I blinked, "disgusting."
"W-what?!" the real on cried out, "what do you mean?!"
"Did he actually grow up?" Sakura whispered to a surprised Sasuke.
"All this time...and you still have only learnt this much?" I snorted, "I'm disappointed in you NAruto. I thought you would have changed. Here, let me show you the true power of the sexy jutsu!" I created a hand seal, releasing a puff of smoke.
"What the fuck?!" Minato cried out.
"Oh my," Kakashi blinked.
Hiruzen said nothing as a single stream of blood flew down his nose. "T-that bastard!" Tayuya cried out.
Standing in my place was a woman with the combined forms of Sakura, Tayuya, Karin and Kushina. She had Kushina's face, Karin's eyes, Tayuya's hair and Sakura's body and wore nothing but a bikini.
"Woah," Naruto said as hearts grew on his eyes, "that's awesome!"
"You see big boy, being sexy just isn't enough," I pulled the string around my neck, teasing the pair of firm breasts underneath, "you need to make sure the form you pick is perfect for your victim. I made this one with the combined features of your mother, Karin, Tayuya and Sakura. So? What do you think?" I threw the top off making NAruto turn red.
"I-It's perfect!" Naruto cried out as his clone popped from shock, the henge dropping immediately, revealing the real Naruto with swirls in his eyes, "so sexy..."
"That boy has issues," Minato grumbled.
"Shannaro!" Sakura cried out as she leaped right at me, a fist colliding with the ground to destroy the landscape yet again.
"I haven't forgotten about you Sakura," I smiled as I jumped and landed away, quickly forming ten shadow clones before smoking, "in fact, I've been making this jutsu just for you! Reverse harem jutsu!"
There was a large puff of smoke as suddenly Sakura found herself surrounded by naked men, each comprised to look like versions of Sasuke or Naruto, and with a few of my features mixed in as well.
"Wha…." Sakura's eyes glossed over for a second, a single stream of blood dripping from her nose. And that moment was all I needed.
"Got you!" I hit her behind the neck knocking her out. I picked her up and tossed her over to NAruto who was still unconscious at this point.
"Now then," I turned to see Sasuke, "shall we dispel the stupid shadow clone act?"
Sasuke smirked, "I told him you wouldn't fall for it," Sakura and Naruto exploded into smoke as the real pair appeared next to Sasuke, both blushing red, but not worse for ware. "That's the problem when fighting a sensor," Sasuke explained as they got ready for the real fight, "you never can trick them."
"I have to admit big bro, you've taken the sexy jutsu to new heights!" Naruto grinned giving me a thumbs up.
"Stop complimenting him on that perverted jutsu idiot!" Sakura cried out.
"It was effective," Sasuke snicckered.
"See! Even Sasuke liked it!" Naruto smiled.
"Whatever," Sakura looked away, blushing up a storm.
"Right then," I drew my blade, "shall we fight for real now? Or are we just going to sit around and chat?"
"Right!" Naruto cried out as he moved through hand seals, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
I leaped up and allowed the wind to push me back, riding the wind as I was pushed further and further back.
"Fire Release: Great Annihilation."
"Fuck," I grumbled as Sasuke's own attack came forward, mixing with NAruto's, causing a wave of fire to come rushing right at me.
"Scorch Release: Helix dome!" I spat out a glob of fire which immediately spread around me like a ball of flames. Immediately the attacking flames were absorbed by my protective dome of fire, strengthening it it greater levels.
"You can't hide from me! Earth Release: Earth armour!" Sakura encapsed her fists with rocks and brought her fist down on top of the helix dome.
-1,500!
Helix Dome: 300/ 1,800
"Shannaro!" she punched the dome once more, this time shattering it, revealing a shadow clone I had left inside. The clone held Kusanagi up, Sakura's eyes widened as it instantly grow it stab her in the heart, only for NAruto to come in at the last moment in a flash of yellow light, gra her, and vanish, all in the time it took for one to clap their hands.
Naruto and Sakura appeared next to Sakura. I whistled, clapping my hands slowly, dismissing the clone that tried to kill Sakura, "I didn't realise you figured out that jutsu already Naruto."
"Grandma Misu helped," Naruto grinned as he healed up a tri pronged kunai.
Minato blinked, "h-he mastered the Flying Lighting God?"
"And he did it without realising it was his birthright," Kakashi added in, "he said since it was something Yami figured out, he should be able to do it too. Kid got through with pure determination."
"Chidori," Sasuke called out, sending out a blast of lightning through his blade right at me. It came like a blade of lighting, and if I had been just a moment slower he would have blow a hole through my head.
"Oh, so now it's time for ninjutsu huh?" I smirked forming five clones, one out of Earth, Water, Wood, Shadow and Ice, "let them have it boys!"
"Right!" the clones called out as they launched themselves at team seven, each going through hand seals.
"Look out!" Sasuke called out, but already each clone was in position around the three of them.
"Earth Release: Four Wall Prison!"the Earth clone cried out, summoning forth four hundred feet slabs of rock around team seven which then began moving closer to block them in.
"Shit!" Naruto cried out as he threw a kunai between the slabs, the kunai just managed to pass through the gaps between the closing walls when Naruto vanished in a flash of yellow with Sakura and Sasuke by his side.
"Water Release: Water Dragon jutsu!" the water clone sent a blast of water at the team seven in the form of a dragon.
"Fire Release: Great Annihilation!" Sasuke breathed out a large tsunami of flames, boiling away my water as it came towards them. In the end, he managed to burn away my dragon, though the action left him exhausted.
"Lighting Release: Thunder Strike!" the wood clone cried sending a blast of lightning form it's finger tips at the downed Sasuke.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Naruto jumped forward, blasting the lighting away with his wind.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" the ice clone cried out, sending blast of vacuum at the three, forcing them to doge, only for the shadow clone to come in their way.
"Fire Release: Great Annihilation!" he cried out, blasting them with the full force of the attack, forcing them to separate, which was when I made my move. I had another reason to use my clones besides showing off, and that was in order to gather enough senjutsu.
Ping!
Sage mode activated!
Time limit- 1 hour if senjutsu chakra isn't active
I snuck up behind Sakura, she turned to launch I punch at me, but I easily caught it with my hand, her arms shaking in surprise. She gasped, "Y-Yami, your eyes."
I smiled, "yeah, it's another trick I managed to pick up along the way, now," a clone appeared behind her, knocking Sakura out. I left her body to the clone and took off, finding NAruto easily as he layed down a field of his special tri pronged kunai.
"Woah! What happened to your eyes big bro?" NAruto asked as he summoned several clones, each ready with a very sharp looking kunai.
"It's a special mode I discovered," my golden hued eyes looked around the battlefield, "so then, we going to do this or what?"
Naruto grinned as suddenly all his clone vanished. Thanks to sage mode and my own sensory abilities I could tell where he was going to show up, it was easy. The clones appeared all around me in a flash, but I was already moving far before that.
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
The clones kept coming, I kept blowing them away with my bare fists. My taijutsu style was made for multiple combat and while NAruto was trained in it as well, I did 'invent' the style first. His moves were choreographed, I could easily see through them.
I had to admit though, it was a perfect idea. A field of Flying Thunder God kunais and Naruto's shadow clones were the perfect combination. But he wasn't just against anyone, I was a sage. Against anyone else, it just might have worked.
"Those markings around his eyes," Hiruzen said in the distant as our watched continued observing the match "they are just like...but that's impossible."
"What is that?" Kakashi asked.
"Sage mode," Minato informed him.
The copy nin's visible eye widened, "w-what? Sage mode? H-he's gone that far?"
"What's the big deal?" Tayuya asked, "so his eyes got a little golden and he has those weird red markings."
"It's not just that," Karin adjusted her specs, "it's...it's like he's one with the world around him, it's like he's a beacon of power."
"Alright! Back off!" the real Naruto cried out, the clones moving away. There was a flash of yellow behind me, I smiled, I guessed Jiraiya did finally teach him that jutsu.
He moved, a spiralling blue ball of energy in his hand as he moved to slam it into my back. It's too bad he was just so slow.
I grabbed his arm stopping him half way before kicking him in the gut so hard he was sent flying away into a tree, knocked out from the impact. I used a clone to retrieve his unconscious form before turning around to face the last member of team seven.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, the sharingan blazing brightly, "you've gotten even stronger Yami."
"That I have little cousin," I smiled as I activated the sharingan, the three tomoes spiralling alive in my golden red iris, "and so have you and your team mates. Naruto especially, I didn't think he was capable of learning the Flying Thunder god jutsu."
"Neither did I," Sasuke snorted, "but that just goes to show you he's called the unpredictable ninja for a reason."
"Yeah, I guess so," I nodded, we waited for a second before we both vanished. We clashed blades in the middle of the field, Sasuke had replaced his broken one for an newer model, guess that's why he couldn't help Naruto.
Click!
Sparks flew as we began exchanging hits, his sword wavering from the strength behind my strikes. And then suddenly, I felt a flash of chakra enter my system.
I grinned, "sorry Sasuke, but genjutsu doesn't work on me."
The Uchiha's eyes went wide, "what?!"
"Yeah, sorry about that!" I pushed him away before kicking his gut, sending him flying back into a tree.
"Damn it!" Sasuke spun in mid air, I could see the pain was there, but he was ignoring it as he moved through single hand seals, landing in a squat before exhaling a stream of lighting, "Lighting Release: Quick Breath!"
Ping!
You have copied a new jutsu!
Lighting Release: Quick-
I dismissed the notification and jumped away just in time to avoid the single piercing stream of lighting coming at me. I pointed Kusanagi at Sasuke and channeled chakra into it, expanding the blade to strike his shoulder.
The Uchiha managed to dodge it before he created a single hand seal channeling a stream of lighting along his blade, pointing it at me and shooting several blasts of lighting out from the tip.
It was almost child's play to dodge each blast. I moved closer and closer, Sasuke growing more desperate by the second before finally I decided to end this.
"Sage art: Swift Release: Speed up times 10,000!" and I vanished in a blur, appearing behind Sasuke with Kusanagi pressed against his neck, drawing a single line of blood.
He paused, slowly looking behind me with narrowed eyes, "we never stood a chance did we?"
I sighed, "sorry little cousin, but you didn't. But, you nearly got me, so-"
-Don't patronize me," Sasuke snapped, "all this time, all this time while we fought...you smiled," I didn't realise I was doing it, but yes, he was right, I was just having too much fun.
"This wasn't even a serious fight for you was it?" Sasuke asked.
I sighed, "no...sorry, but it wasn't," I removed the blade and put it away, "but I didn't lie, for your age Sasuke, you're probably stronger than anyone else in this village barring a few jounin."
"Would I...would I be strong enough to face him?" he asked, I didn't need to know who he was.
"No….not yet," I patted his head ruffling his hair, "but you will be, one day. Don't worry, Itachi isn't going anywhere, in fact, he's just as eager to fight you."
"I see..."Sasuke looked away.
"Well, that was something else," Minato said as he, Hiruzen and Kakashi appeared before us in a blur.
"So I'm guessing I lost my title as Konoha's strongest then?" Kakashi joked.
Hiruzen snorted, "you lost that the moment this boy decided to become his generation's greatest ninja."
Tayuya, Karin and my clone carrying the unconscious members of team seven on their back appeared next.
"Don't make us wait next time!" Tayuya grumbled, "I'm hungry as hell Yami!"
I chuckled, "alright then, let's eat shall we? Oh, and wake those two up," I pointed at Naruto and Sakura, "after all it's their treat!"
One hour later:
"It's not fair!" Naruto pouted, "I worked so hard, but you didn't even break a sweat!"
I chuckled as I eat from my pile of pork kebabs, "to be fair, you all did amazing as a team, so much so I had to forcefully separate you three. If you had stuck together, I might have been in trouble!"
"How serious were you?" Sasuke asked as he sipped his drink.
"Hm, around 40% I think?" I shrugged, "you guys did force me to use sage mode."
"Hey Yami, what's sage mode?" NAruto asked curiously.
"It's kind of hard to explain," I chuckled, "but you know, if you want you could ask Jiraiya and your dad, they both know it."
"What? So cool!" Naruto had sparkles in his eyes, "hey, do you think I can learn it?! You got really strong when you used it."
I smiled, "you could learn it, but it'll be hard. You won't be able to learn it the same way I did though."
"Why not?" NAruto asked.
"It requires you to be able to use wood release," I shrugged, "but, you can learn it from the toads, I'm assuming Jiraiya allowed you to use the toad summoning contract right?"
"Oh? Really? I can? That's so cool!" Naruto's eyes shimmered.
"Could we learn it as well?" Sakura asked as she finished her meal quickly, she was eating a lot more now, which was good.
"You? No chance," I shrugged, "it requires the user to have insane amounts of chakra. If you can't even use a shadow clone, you can forget about using sage mode. And that goes double for you Tayuya, so don't even think it."
The redhead snorted, "whatever," though I could sense her disappointment. Karin laughed besides here while Anko just smirked.
After another hour of eating and answering random questions team seven had, like what we did and how many new jutsus I could use. I got them to turn their attention to my companions as well, Karin and Sakura got along great as both had an interest in medicine while Tayuya and Naruto got into a screaming match pretty quickly.
Anko and Sasuke didn't really have much to say to each other, though the Uchiha did ask her a lot about the different ways to interrogate someone….it got graphic fast.
After the meal we all went our separate ways, I headed off to the library intent on meeting Misa again, I hadn't gotten a chance to say more than a few words to her when I first came back. But then I felt a chakra signature approach me from above.
I looked up to see an ANBU member looking down at me. I sighed, "Minato?" he nodded, "I'll be there," and then I took off, vanishing before the ANBU's eyes.
I appeared in the hokage's office in a gust of wind, startling Minato and pushing down a stack of paperwork to the ground.
"Watch it!" Minato cried out as he immediately began picking it up, "do you know how long it took me to finish that?!"
I chuckled, "a long time I'm guessing."
"Damn straight! And I don't need you messing it up! Coming back to life is such a pain in the ass! Argh!" he cried out, flopping onto his desk. He took a deep breath before letting it out. "Sorry," he mumbled as he sat up straight, "it's just been so much work. I shouldn't have yelled."
"It's fine," I shrugged, "I'm guessing you have a lot on your mind. The paperwork is one of the reasons I refused the damn hat."
Minato snorted, "I don't' think Hiruzen was serious when he offered i to you."
"Oh I beg to differ," I smiled, "anyway, what's up?"
"We've just gotten a report," he threw a scroll at me, "the Akatsuki have made their move. And...it's worse than I thought."
"What happened?" I asked, opening up the scroll to read the contents, my eyes widening as I did.
"Jiraiya sensei's spies say they were last seen heading for Konoha," Minato replied, "more specifically, you."
Sasori and Deidara were seen crossing the land of Rivers, heading into Konoha from the West. Hidan and Kakuzu were coming in from the south and there were rumors of Itachi moving in from the East. All of this...and I can only assume it's because Obito heard the message I had asked Nagato to deliver.
"How long?" I asked.
"A week before they arrive at our door steps," Minato replied with a sigh, "all the paperwork is for a pseudo-war army I'm asking the council to form. You're a member of this village, we aren't-"
"-No," I shot back, "no one interferes."
"There are five, possibly six S rank ninjas coming after you Yami, I can't just-"
"-I'm prepared to face them," I replied, "that's what these two years of training with you and the First and Second have been about. I'm ready Minato, trust me. It's time….it's time to end this."
Two days before Akatsuki attacks Konoha:
Kakashi walked into his apartment placing his bag of groceries on the counter before picking up two glasses out of his cabinet, "what something to drink?"
"Nah, I'm good," I replied as I leaned back on his couch.
"So...why exactly are you here?" Kakashi asked.
"Can't I just meet a respected colleague?"
"Not if you come without warning and I come to find you sitting on my couch without a care in the world," Kakashi said as he sat down besides me.
"Tru," I shrugged, "I'll get right down to business then Kakashi. Obito is alive."
The man was in shock, "w-what?"
"When I fought with the Akatsuki there was a masked ninja with a sharingan. His chakra signature is the exact same one as the left eye you now posses," I sighed, "so, unless someone found Obito's body and ripped his right eye off his body, which is possible, then that means this masked man is Obito Uchiha."
Kakashi looked like he was about to have a heart attack, "w-what?! Are you sure Yami?!"
I nodded, "as sure as I can ever be."
"We have to talk to him! I have to talk to him!" Kakashi got up, already ready to move.
"We will," I nodded, "or rather I will. He and the other members of the Akatsuki are coming to Konoha for me. It's an unofficial mission...are you in?"
"Yes."
"Good, then that means I don't have to feel guilty about doing this," he clone vanished in a poff of smoke. Kakashi immediately turned around but wasn't fast enough as I managed to hit him in the back of the neck, knocking him out.
He dropped like a bag of bones, I sighed, "I'm sorry about this Kakashi," I replied as I grabbed him and vanished in a blur of lighting reappearing inside my lab.
I propped Kakashi onto the table and took out a syringe. I used clamps to keep his left eye open as I took a syringe and extracted the optical fluid from inside his sharingan eye. I then took another syringe with my blood and began to replace the removed fluid with my own cells, using cellular manipulation to make it as if nothing had even been taken in the first place.
I then had a clone take Kakashi back to his apartment and erase his memory, replacing it with one of a long nap. The moment the clone left, I got to work. Using one of the spare sharingan eyes I stole of Danzo as a base, I began to experiment with it.
I worked all day, but in the end, nothing. I couldn't manipulate the eye like I wanted, I couldn't' clone an eye with Obito's DNA and more specifically, I couldn't activate the mangekyou sharingan. It just didn't work.
I thought I could fake it, I thought I could just gain the Kumai and then have an advantage over Obito without killing but...it would seem that isn't the case.
I had one more way to gain access to the Kamui but...I didn't like it.
The one day before the Akatsuki arrive:
I sat on a rooftop overlooking the village as the sun slowly raised off in the horizon. It was a beautiful day, and the fact that I could just sit here and notice this was a gift of itself.
I felt Holo's chakra approach me, I turned just as she landed behind me, "what are you doing out here Yami?" she asked sitting next to me, "it's late you know..."
I smiled, "it's too nice a day to spend it asleep Holo," I sighed rolling my shoulders, "what's up with you? What are you up so early?"
"You mean late," she snorted, "I had a mission, the ANBU seem to be on edge lately, with what you bringing a Hokage back from the dead and all."
"I see..." I mumbled looking off in the distance.
"What's on your mind?" she asked.
"I'm just wondering how I'm going to kill six S rank ninjas. No, scratch that, five," I grumbled.
"Five?!" she gasped, "b-but why?! What's going on?"
"The remaining members of the Akatsuki are coming for me," I told her, "and this time I don't think it's going to be a hit and run tactic. This time, they mean business."
"When?" she asked, sounding ready for a fight.
"You're not coming," I told her.
"What?! Why?!"
"Because you're not strong enough," I shrugged.
"But I can still-"
"-No Holo," I glared, "and that's final." She looked down, disappointment radiating off of her. I sighed, now was my chance, I had to do this, "but," she looked up, "you can help me with something."
"Anything," she replied.
I nodded as I stood up, "follow me," we took off, I lead her to the park, before the entrance to the natural dungeons. I asked her hand, she gave it freely. I activated the first dungeon and we were drawn inside immediately.
"Woah, what is this place?" she asked in wonder looking around surprised, "where are we? This doesn't feel like-"
"-Human path," I whispered placing my hand on her head, ripping her soul from her body. She dropped down like a sack of potatoes. My heart reached, I told myself I would never do this, but desperate times, desperate situations. I needed the mangekyo sharingan, I needed them to make sure no one else died.
