Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

Chapter 11: Premonition



Half-black half-white figure with aloe vera like structures appear from the ground. He faced the man wearing a spiral mask with only one eye exposed.

"Tobi, it seems the massacre won't happen as you expected".

Tobi has a calm expression when he hears the news.

'Itachi had a change of heart I see'. While he didn't expect the sudden change, he never really trusted others to do a job he intended. So it doesn't matter.

'No matter… I have my own arrangement. Tell me what you know'.

Zetsu tells him the movements of the Uchiha, how a lot of them moved to the west side of the Uchiha district. He also mentioned the number of guards and patrols around, including ANBU stationed.

Tobi nods. Space fluctuated from his left eye as he disappeared into the Kamui dimension. He reappears inside Konoha, sitting on top of a transmission pole overseeing the Uchiha district. 

He figured the location and once again disappeared and reappeared at the current secret gathering of the Uchiha hardliners.

The few elders and younger Uchiha clansmen who were listed to be sent off on a 'classified mission' sat together, discussing what they can do. They know the mission could be a cover for their apparent 'accidents'. Or it's a threat from the higher ups.

Suddenly, a fluctuation in space appears and out of nowhere, a figure with a spiral mask with a single sharingan in his left eye appears.

The Uchihas are all surprised and instantly get into a defensive position with sharingan opened. They can feel a strong chilling aura coming from the man. That he is a dangerous person and coming with bad intentions.

"Who are you!".

One of the elders steps forward, his sharingan staring right at the mysterious man's eye.

Tobi thought for a second, and he decides he will cosplay as Madara this time.

"I see the younger generations have forgotten me. And to think the Uchiha clan stoop so low to this level… I was right to leave all along. Foolish clansmen", the cold condescending voice sent chills down to everyone's spine. Madara's left eye turned into his mangekyo pattern, letting out a heavy pressure on all of them.

"M-Mangekyo!"

"Younger generations…?", the Uchihas murmurs and questions. And there's only one figure that they can think of as to who the masked man is.

"No way…".

Tobi smirked behind the mask.

"Indeed. I am, Uchiha… Madara", Tobi said in a deep voice.

Gasp!!! Everyone in the room takes a gasping breath, bewildered from the revelation.

"I am here to offer my help". Madara raises his hands, as if calling out to the clansmen.

"I had given up on my clansmen before… but seeing you all here… I see each and all of you have the courage that we, the Uchiha, are supposed to have. I had trusted Hashirama and to…", Madara yaps about history, making a sad backstory for himself and how his clansmen betrayed him.

How Konoha, the village he founded with Hashirama turned their back on the Uchiha clan simply because they feared the Uchiha's power. And he stated the obvious decline of Uchiha from the founding of the village till now.

"I will provide my help to your endeavor, for the glory of Uchiha!", Madara spoke with vigor.

The clansmen in the room are all agitated with bloodlust in their eyes from Madara's speech, their sharingan spinning rapidly from sheer excitement to fight for the glory of the Uchiha! Ready to sacrifice and be a martyr in Uchiha's name.

"For Uchiha!!!", everyone screams like they have lost their mind.

"For Uchiha!!!!!".

"AAAHHH!!!! FOR UCHIHA!!!!!".

Truly… what a fool. Too easy to be manipulated, and lose their minds from emotions. 

Tobi thought in disdain seeing the crazed expression on each of their faces. Tobi planned to help them stall Fugaku and Itachi, since the two had mangekyo and these weaklings couldn't possibly do that. He believes just the chaos ensued would push the massacre entirely.

But just then, a frail elder with bloodshot eyes spoke with vigor.

"Madara-sama! I have a suggestion!".

What suggestion can these fools give…?

"Madara-sama, I had witnessed your battle when I was a child… I still remember it like it was yesterday… Let's unleash the 9 tails!!! We will use this chance to take over Konoha, and show the power of the Uchiha!!! Cough…", the old man's cane is shaking with excitement. The old man, despite his old frail body, almost stood upright as if wanting to see the power of Madara once more.

Somehow, everyone missed the part where, if the Madara in front of them can unleash 9 tails, it means the night of Kyuubi attack might as well be his own doing. But their crazy bloodlust clouded their brain.

Tobi is taken aback, but then he realises that's not a bad idea at all. He hasn't thought about it. But over these 7 years, since he planned to capture the Bijuus he had learned various sealing methods trying to find good unsealing jutsu.

And while he hasn't find something that can just unseal a bijuu easily and directly on his own, he did have something to temporarily weaken the seal; couple with his mangekyo genjutsu it should work to cause 9 tails to rampage for a while and cause chaos.

"Hm!! It is already in my plan!", Tobi said with a proud voice.

"Sasuga Madara-sama!", the elder said with fanaticism.

"I will go get the 9 tails jinchuriki. Prepare for battle! My clansmen!", with that, Tobi disappears and reappears right inside Naruto's room. The full moon is bright tonight.

Naruto is sleeping soundly, sprawled on bed with no care in the world. 

Tobi walk step by step towards Naruto, observing the 7 to 8 years old boy. 

It seems your son has grown up well, Minato… But your mistake is trusting Kyuubi into such a boy, consumed by loneliness and hated by everyone… you made it easier for me.

Tobi's hand reached out to him, as space fluctuation pulled Naruto into the Kamui space without anyone noticing…

***

Kyuubi felt the presence of the damn bastard that had controlled him 7 years ago.

THAT UCHIHA BASTARD!!! MY OTHER HALF!

Kyuubi clawed at his cage with uncontrolled rage. His anger cause evil chakra to leaks - waking Tanya up.

Gasp! 

Tanya woke with cold sweat. She's drenched all over, and she felt extremely bad, extremely, extremely bad. His abdomen felt heavy especially.

What's… going on? Why does it feel… so heavy… 

Naruto…

Tanya went out of her bed quickly and rushed out of the door and into Naruto's room.

Naruto is missing. Tanya quickly looked outside, then at the clock.

It's 3.14 am. Where did he go!

Tanya quickly rushed out of their home, calling out for Naruto.

"Naruto!! Where are you!!". She felt as if something bad is going to happen. Naruto is not just anyone, but it's someone who she had raised and seen growing since his infancy for 7 whole years.

The ANBU who's keeping watch on both Tanya and Naruto finally gets on alert. He's not that focused since Naruto and Tanya is sleeping and it's in the middle of the night but when he finally realised Naruto disappeared without him realising at all, he felt panic as well.

Oh no!!!

Hokage Office

Hiruzen had just received a report from the ANBU that there's an alarming movement among the Uchiha's that's listed as rebels, that this time it's not just gathering, but there's screams among them and they had taken up arms. 

Hiruzen stood from his bed and took on his Hokage attire, ready to stop them and call the ANBU teams. He's afraid Danzo too is already onto it. He's afraid the massacre will still happen if they let the rebels do something to harm the village, even if the damage is insignificant due to their smaller forces. And if Danzo decides to take his own initiative to kill the clan, he cannot answer to Fugaku and Itachi.

But just then, another ANBU came in with a report. He is gasping for air as if he's rushed as fast as possible to him.

"Sandaime-sama! It's urgent! The… The jinchuriki is missing!".

"Jinchuriki!? Tsuyu?! Naruto?!", Hiruzen almost have a heart attack hearing that, breaking out a cold sweat.

"Only Naruto, sandaime-sama! Tsuyu is currently looking for him around the village".

Hiruzen clenched his fist. He felt a bad premonition…

"You, take care of Tsuyu. I am afraid something will happen tonight. Alert all the forces. Ready to sound the alarm and prepare for the worst".

"Yes, Sandaime-sama".

"Kakashi, lead your team to find Naruto. Possibly… at the Uchiha…". Hiruzen gritted his teeth as he said that. As much as he wants to believe in peace with the Uchiha, perhaps, Danzo is right about them. That the 9 tails attack back then is caused by them...

Kakashi, who's a shadow guard and had been listening from earlier appears. He nods and immediately disappears to find Naruto.

Minato-sensei… I will protect your son.

Kakashi clenched his fist. He hopes it's not too late...
