Yami: The Gamer Kage

The next day:

"I'm so fucking bored!" Tayuya cried out.

Puma grumbled, "then do something about it instead of fucking complaining all the time!"

"You want a piece of me you bitch?!" Tayuya growled.

"Sigh, kids," Anko rolled her eyes.

"What did you say you purple headed bitch?! You want a piece of me?!" Tayuya growled.

Anko's eyebrow twitched, "what was that you brat? Did you say something?" a wave of deadly killing intent flew off off Anko as several snakes came out of her sleeves and wrapped around her body flicking her tongue dangerously.

"N-nothing," Tayuya gulped before whispering, "crazy bitch is scary."

"And you damn well remember that!"Anko grumbled before turning to me, "how much longer? As much as I hate to agree with the flat chested midget," que a loud protest from Tayuya that prompted another row with Puma, "we are burning daylight here."

I sat in an open tent with Yagura by the entrance standing gaurd while Kimimaro laid ont he ground, his eyes resting as five of my wood clones surrounded him, using the Mystical Health palm jutsu to slowly manipulate the cells I had injected into him to heal his body on a cellular level.

"I'm almost done here," I replied as I finished healing the rest of Kimimaro's body, "how are you feeling Kimimaro?"

The green eyed man blinked, "I….I'm feeling much better. How is that possible?"

"My method of healing is much more...thorough," I smiled as I canceled the jutsus and dismissed the clowns, "there we go, stand up."

Kimimaro nodded as he did so. He stretched his hands, blinking in surprise, "I feel...perfect."

"Good," I nodded as I got up and patted him on the back, "there we go, good as new." just then the clones I had scouring Orochimaru's library and base started to dispel. I stopped and began assimilating the knowledge they gathered.

"You okay there Light?" Anko asked using my code name instead of my real one, as we were still in the company of people we couldn't really trust.

"I'm good," I sighed as the rest of the information poured into my head. He had very detailed notes, they were...very graphic. But useful, maybe later I could apply a few of them. "Right, anyway, Tayuya, come over, it's your turn."

"What the fuck are you on about?" the red head snorted, "I ain't fucking sick."

"The curse mark," I motioned over, "I need to remove it."

"What?!" Tayuya cried out, "why the fuck do you need to do that?!"

"I told you didn't I?" Anko snorted, "our goal is to remove every single trace of that snake bastard from this planet. That mark is one of them."

"B-but why didn't you remove the mark on the bone bitch?!" Tayuya pointed at the mark under Kimimaro's neck.

I shrugged, "that's the seal of Heaven, which much more powerful than your seal of Earth, it does have it's limitations. It seems it was the first version of the curse mark Orochimaru made before he used it on everyone else….plus it doesn't have a piece of Orochimaru's soul inside of it eating away at his body. Yours does."

"What the fuck?!"

I sighed, "that's right, he didn't tell you did he? Didn't you wonder why the curse mark made you act so differently?"

"I-I...fuck! His soul is inside of me?!"

I nodded, "yes, I believe that's how Orochimaru controlled people, making sure they were 'loyal' to him. Sick bastard."

"What the fuck are you waiting for you shit fucker! Get it off off me!" Tayuya screamed pulling down her collar, revealing the curse mark.

I sighed, in the beginning she was scared of me, making her more respectful, but now...sheesh, I think I prefered her afraid and scared.

I sat her down and began to experiment on the seal, getting ready to remove it. But as I was halfway down trying to pry it's personal chakra #network form Tayuya's, I realised something vital.

"Fuck!" I spat.

"What happened?" Kimimaro asked.

"The second stage," I spat as I pushed Tayuya's collar up, "I never saw a seal with the second stage active."

"What the fuck are you on about?" Tayuya asked, "can you get this fucking thing off of me or not?!"

"I...I don't think I can," I hummed, "the only experience with this curse seal I've had is with...a certain person who was the earliest victims of Orochimaru's. Since then his seal work has only gotten better, and since you have access to the second stage of the curse mark...it's like the chakra network the seal posses and yours has become one. I can't remove it without killing you as well."

"Then what are we going to do?!" Tayuya screamed, "I don't want to become like the snake bastard!"

I sighed, "I need more of Orochimaru's notes...hm, Kimimaro, that friend of yours, one of my clones found a document inside the base that related Orochimaru's work on the curse seal with Jugo's own DNA. Where exactly is he?"

"He's in the Northern base," the green eyed man replied, "it's prison filled with Orochimaru's experiments and ruthless bandits. It's a dangerous place."

"Fuck that!" Tayuya cried out as she jumped to her feet, "if it means turning into the snake face then I'll kill them all myself!"

Kimimaro narrowed his eyes, "you should feel honoured to be able to become like lord Orochimaru."

"You might be his little cock sleeve bone boy, but not me! I'm too fucking sexy to become that pale skinned bitch!"

"Why you healthiness who-"

"-Enough," Yagura poke, silencing them both with a bit of concentrated killing intent that stunned everyone around them. The killing intent of a jinchuriki was something else….especially one that could use his biju effectively. The only reason I wasn't effected was thanks to Gamer's mind, and the fact that I took on a lot more the last time Yagura and I fought.

"Thank you Turtle," I nodded, "he's right. Fighting will get us nowhere. Tayuya, I promise you I'll do everything I can to stop Orochimaru's mark from taking over. Kimimaro, Orochimaru is dead, he has right over the living, robbing someone of their life is the worst crime anyone can do, it's like clipping the wings of a butterfly. Do you understand."

He closed his eyes and slowly nodded, "yes...I understand. I am sorry Tayuya...I did not realise how my words were being implied."

Tayuya snorted, "whatever."

I grinned "good, now that we're all friends let's," a clone popped, this one had stayed behind had gone deeper into the files and scrolls Orochimaru left behind.

Ping!

You have learnt a new jutsu!

Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation jutsu (Imperfected), S rank

This jutsu binds the soul of a deceased person to a living vessel, restoring them as they were when they were alive in order to do their summoner's bidding.

Cost- a live human body as sacrifice

CP cost- 0

Limit- 5

Holy shit. Hidden behind a wall in Orochimaru's chamber was the scroll listing out this jutsu. It required no chakra to use, only a human body to be prepared as sacrifice. This was perhaps the sickest, but the most amazing power I have ever learnt.

And that's not all, after my clone learnt this jutsu, he kept searching and found three coffins, 'One', 'Two' and 'Four'. The bodies of the previous Hokages, that's right Orochimaru wanted to use them to kill Sarutobi, but I killed him before he could. And right now, all three coffins were in my inventory.

If I could somehow find a human sacrifice, a scumbag so fucking shitty that they deserve a fate worse than death, then….then I could learn wood release from the man who first controlled, from the man who could bring down the nine tails by himself.

Ping!

Y/N?

Of course I damn well accept! But not right now...no, for now, I'll keep these two coffins a secert. I'll wait for sometime until-

"-Oye! Light boy!" Tayuya's yells pierced my thoughts, "you in there?"

I blinked, "what? Oh, right, yeah, I'm here. Sorry about that, a group of clones just popped out, took me a moment to gather and arrange the info then gave me."

"Right...are you okay now?" Puma asked worried.

I nodded, "peachy. Now then," I grinned, "let's crack on! From what we know the Norther base is about a day's run away. Let's move on!"

My team nodded as we set off, Puma, being the slowest, set the pace. I didn't want to use my summons, not just yet, and judging from the fact none of my allies asked for them, they understood why. Tayuya and Kimimaro might be temporary allies now, but that could change fast.

The next day:

"Please don't-"

"I'll kill you!"

I sighed as I leaped away from Jugo's weaponised axe arm, "I just want to talk!"

"I'll ripe you limb from limb!"

I grabbed his arm and activated my increased strength, holding him in place, "that's enough Jugo, I'm not here to fight, just to talk. A friend of yours wants to talk to you."

"I have no friends!" Jugo cried out.

"Yes Jugo, you do," the orange haired young man with greying skin turned around and gasped as Kimimaro walked up to him.

"K-Kimimaro?"

"Finally!" I threw Jugo's arm aside, cracking my wrist, "what took you so damn long?!"

"We were controlling the situation downstairs," Puma informed me, "Sexy had gone ahead and released everyone inside thinking they were all...victims."

"Hey! They were!" Anko cried out.

"They were also ruthless killers," Turtle corrected.

Anko puffed, "I know that now..."

I sighed, "whatever," I formed a hundred clones and sent them off to control the riot in the prison/secret base, "they'll handle the...cleaning up."

"Are you just going to kill them all?" Tayuya asked.

"No," I shook my head, "they'll be given a choice, surrender and live peacefully, or die."

"And suppose a serial killer chooses to come peacefully?" Puma asked.

"I'm having several clones access the hideout records, if there is someone out of the people who I spared who is a monster like Orochimaru, then he won't be spared."

"Alright then! Now that that's settled and these two gaylords are back together," Tayuya pointed at a happily chatting Kimimaro and Jugo, "can we please fucking get this damn curse seal off of me now?!"

I smiled, "alright, just let me get settled in."

Three days later:

"All the prisoners and experiments who remain have been set free," Turtle reported in as we gather in the main lab which I now called as my own. The floor was littered with scrolls upon scrolls, I had gone through all the research Orochimaru had kept on site, all of which was related to Jugo in some way.

"That's perfect Turtle, thanks," I nodded as I put down a book filled with my personal notes and observations and looked down at a strapped down Tayuya, "are you sure you want to do this Red?"

"Fuck yeah," she growled, "I am not becoming like him. Never like him."

I nodded, "right...from what I can tell Orochimaru used a piece of Jugo's DNA to create your seal, but infused it with his own chakra. Now, what I'm going to do is...odd. Since your chakra network is fused with the cure seal, I can't just cut it out, so instead, I'm going to have to use a jutsu I've been practising. You ready?"

Tayuya nodded, "do it Light."

I smirked, she didn't even know my true name or real face, but she still trusts me. Either she really hates Orochimaru...or maybe she might realise I'm a halfway decent guy.

"Are you just going to keep staring at me or what shit head?! Come on! Let's go!" I sighed, definitely the former.

"Right," I turned round and nodded. Turtle vanished from the room, I put Tayuya under an artificial coma and channeled chakra into my Rinnegan, "Human path!" I felt the powers kick into overdrive as I reached out and grabbed Tayuya's shoulder.

I felt two souls inside of her, two powerful souls. One was smaller than the other, but it made up for size with raw energy. I knew this was the one I wanted, so I pulled on the spiritual chain around it and I found a purple hued vapour come pouring out of Tayuya's sweating body.

-1,000 CP!

I saw the King of Hell summon appear automatically behind me. It's zipped opened up as the soul flew into his mouth.

Ping!

You have absorbed a soul! Please select one piece of information you wish to learn from it!

You can learn:

Binding Snake Glare Spell

Casualty Puppet

Chakra Scalpel

Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release

….

And the list went on and on. I honestly was amazed at the list of jutsus Orochimaru could perform, but then again what could one expect from the man who set out to learn every jutsu in creation?

I had every single piece of information Orochimaru knew, but I could only pick one. It was sad, but true.

And right now, I only had one goal, knowledge on how he grafted various kekkai genkai DNA into his own body. So I looked for it:

Body modification techniques

I selected it as suddenly a rush of information came into my head from the soul absorbed into the King of Hell figure. I saw Orochimaru's soul being consumed, hm, so it worked like Skyrim's Dragon souls, only this time I learnt one thing what the soul knew.

I filled all the knowledge Orochimaru had on body modification and put it away for latter. I turned to Tayuya and woke her up using a medical jutsu.

She blinked, "is it over?" she asked, worry in her voice.

I nodded, "it's over."

"Hell yeah," she sighed, laying down, "damn...it feels like I got his by a bus! What the hell fuck head?!" I chuckled, at least she didn't call me a shit fucker.

A week Later:

"Keep your gaurd up Monster," Sexy instructed as she managed to kick Jugo across the face, "and if you don't, I'll slice your dick off!"

"And the call me a cursor!" Tayuya laughed as she and Anko double teamed Jugo, the orange haired man doing his best to keep up. Understandably, Anko and Tayuya, who now went by Flute, got along great.

"Are you sure you do not wish to join in?" Kimimaro asked me, turning around. I sat on a tree with Turtle by my side. I was currently reading through a few files I had found in Orochimaru's base, the man was a genius, but also fuckign crazy.

"No," I shook my head, "I'm fine. Why don't you go though? I'm sure your skills could use a refresher."

Kimimaro smiled, "is that a challenge?"

I chuckled, "baiting me won't help Bones."

"Whatever you say...Light," the man shrugged, turning back to see Tayuya activate her curse seal, allowing her to transform into her sage form, which was exactly like her demon form, only now she wasn't at the risk of eventually turning into Orochimaru.

One day later:

"But what are we supposed to do?!" the leader of the band of Oto ninja that attacked us asked. He was bound and kneeling before us, he and the rest of his men, "we don't have a village! We don't have a Kage! We are alone!"

I turned to Kimimaro, "well?"

The man raised an eyebrow, "why ask me?"

"Because out of all of us here, you and Tayuya are the closest thing to being a person in charge. And well Tayuya..."

"-Hey! Did you fuckers call me?!"

I sighed, "so obviously, you're their only hope."

The man looked at the bound ninja, his brain slowly processing several ideas at once before he sighed, "get up," the leader did so, "I am the equivalent of a jonin commander, seeing as lord Orochimaru placed me as the leader of the Sound Five, the greatest attack force of Oto. As such, I'm issuing you an order, take all your men and return to the main base. Perform missions to gain revenue...I'll tell you what to do then."

"H-hai!" the man nodded, his eyes sparkling, he once again had purpose in his life. It took us three days to arrange all that Kimimaro asked for, but in the end it was worth it.

"You really did a fine job leading these men," I told the white haired man as we looked down at the mass exodus of people returning to the main base temporarily.

"I did what was logical," he simply replied.

"No Kimimaro, you did what was right," I patted him on the shoulder, "maybe this is your purpose huh? Who knows, you do look good in purple," from the look on his face, I'm guessing that idea terrified him.

A month later:

We attacked the Eastern hideout and destroyed it, burning it to the ground. But, before that happened, I happened upon a secret lab where a scroll was being stored away in secret. A secret which I can't believe I was stupid enough to forget.

The Fourth Hokage's body was ready for the impure resurrection jutsu, but that didn't mean his soul was.

By using Death itself to seal away part of the nine tails chakra Minato condemned himself to a life of misery and pain in the bowels of the Shinigami. So even if Orochimaru had summoned him, he wouldn't have appeared.

But according to this scroll, there was a way to bring him back, meaning my month long quest could finally end.

We decided to take a break from hunting down evil shit heads all month and spend a few days relaxing. We were now spending a few days at an abandoned castle, each person gaining more than wing to themselves.

And I needed that privacy.

I had set everything up. I had the human sacrifices needed for the Resurrection jutsu, three rapists who would never be missed. All over the age of 50, so they didn't have anything to live for anyway.

I had them stored away inside my inventory, I had sent a wood clone away a few days ago to infiltrate Konoha and bring back the last thing I would require to free from Fourth Hokage from his prison inside the Shinigami's belly, the Shinigami mask.

I was just waiting for the clone to send it over via our shared inventory system when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in," I replied as I placed my oni mask back in place. I turned to see Tayuya enter, her face split wide in a shit eating grin.

I blinked "hey Red, what's up?"

"Did you know this place has a cellar?!" she grinned wider as she held up a large bottle of sake, "we hit the jackpot with this place!"

I chuckled, "nice. Did you share?"

"Sexy and Puma already got shit faced and are asleep," Tayuya hiccupped as she walked inside, her movements wobbly, her speed patterns slurred, she was drunk, I could smell it from here, "Turtle, the Bone bitch and that Orange shit are too pruney to get wasted. So, that just leaves you! So what do you say shit fucker?! You in for a drink?!"

I chuckled, "sorry Tayuya, but last time I got drunk with a pretty woman we ended up having sex."

"What?! No way!" Tayuya popped on my bed and poured two cups pushing one into my hands, "come on! Tell me all about it!"

I sighed, "alright," I sat down next to her, Tayuya grinned as she snuggled closer, our feet touching. I raised my mask slightly to the left and sipped the drink, "woah, this isn't half bad."

"Damn straight it is!" Tayuya laughed, "now tell me about this chick you banged!"

"Well, she was older than me, by a lot. But I think she was too happy that day to care, she kind of put her gaurd down. She was fucking amazing to look at, huge tits and a spanking nice ass," I chuckled, "damn, I just realised that I'm starting to pick up on your language."

Tayuya snorted, "is that a bad thing?"

"No, I guess-MPHF!" my eyes widened as Tayuya jumped on me, throwing her cup away and grabbing my face, kissing my lips, attacking it with her tongue. I felt her pushing up against me, pushing me onto the bed, lying down on top of me.

I pushed her back gently, she looked down at me with wondering eyes, "what's wrong shit head? Ain't I good enough for you?"

I smiled, "no, it's not that. It's just I would rather not do this when you're drunk. I would prefer if you actually remembered what happened tomorrow morning."

"Oh believe me fucker, you'll remember for the both of-ACK!" I hit a nerve in the back of her neck that sent her unconscious. I sighed and pulled her into bed, I really didn't want to have sex with another drunk woman, I'm starting to think that being drunk is the only way women would ever sleep with me!

Also...I don't do anything less than a C-cup. Was that shallow? Yes. Did I care? No.

Just then my clone dispelled, I looked into my inventory and there it was, the mask of the shinigami.

I tucked Tayuya in, the girl was already drooling onto my sheets. I then left, heading downstairs into the cellar. I locked the cellar and had seals put up all over the place preventing anyone from entering.

I opened my inventory and took out the three coffins Orochimaru had prepared. I opened them up and then took out the three rapists that I had kidnapped, they were unconscious, hopefully they wouldn't wake up mid way, from what I heard about this process it will be very painful for the sacrifice.

And now, it was time to prepare. I took out the shinigami mask and created a wood clone. I then activated my mystical palm healing jutsu and started manipulating the cells inside the clones body.

Wood clones were special. They are perhaps the best type of clone in the world of ninjutsu. This was because they were basically human, not only did they have a physical body that wouldn't dispel if you hit them hard, they were made up of cells that I could manipulate.

An hour later and the wood clone now stood no longer made of wood, but rather flesh and blood. I manipulated the wood cells in his body, turning them real making him real.

"Well? How do you feel Pinocchio?" I asked as I stepped back with a grin.

"Really? Pinocchio?" the clone snorted.

"Hey, it fits!"

He took out a kunai and pricked his finger, blood slowly coming out, "yeah I guess it does...in way."

"Are you going to be okay with this?" I asked.

The clone nodded, "yeah...I know you would do the same for me," he took the Shinigami mask, "you remember the plan right?"

I nodded, "You release Minato's soul and I'll anchor it into the body, summoning all three hokages."

"Do you need help controlling them?" the clone as as he removed the oni mask and placed the shinigami one.

"No...Minato and Hashirama will be fine with it. Tobirama might be a problem though," I sighed.

"You should use the control talismen, just in case."

"Maybe….alright," I began the hand seals, "let's begin!"

"Right, dead demon consuming seal: Release!" the clone stiffened as suddenly the shadow of the shinigami appeared behind him.

I gasped, it was horrifying to look at. It had long, shaggy, white hair, from which two red horns protrude, as well as purple-coloured skin. It was draped in a large white kimono and carries a set of prayer beads. In it's mouth was a tantō, it's very princess scaring the shit out of me.

Shinigami (Specter)

Lv- Incalculable

REP- X

The clone however didn't stop, he moved, the shinigami mimicking his movements. He took out the tanto from his mouth and then sliced it's stomach, causing a single soul to come out.

"Summoning jutsu: Impure World Ressurection!" I drew the soul into the coffin of the Fourth, as slowly the three corps were covered with ash that slowly changed their physical form into something else entirely.

I watched as my clone bleeded out, dying within seconds as the mask fell off, the shinigami vanishing. The clones body didn't vanish though, since it was now real...it had no place to go.

I quickly put the clone's body in my inventory, a proper burial will have to wait. Because right now, right in front of me, the body of three rapists was being converted into three legendary heroes.

They stepped out of their corpse as the last of the ash fell off. They looked up, the hite of their eyes now black. They looked up at me, Minato was the first to speak with narrowed eyes, "are the same one who threatened my son?"

I blinked, "why would you think that?"

"The mask," he pointed.

I chuckled, "no lord Hokage, I'm not," I threw back my hood and removed my mask, pulling down my face mask, "though I understand why you would think that."

"M-Madara?!" Hashirama gasped in shock.

"You're still alive?" Tobirama drew a kunai, ready to attack.

"Woah there!" I held up my hands, "I'm not Madara! Please don't kill me!"

The second's eyes widened, "who are you?"

"I'm a leaf shinobi," I tapped my headband, "my name is Yami."

"No last name?" Hashirama blinked.

"I...no, I chose not to have one," I shrugged, "I was born an orphan, so I never had one."

"You look awfully lot Uchiha Madara," Hashirama noted, "but younger...much younger. How old are you?"

"I...I don't remember," I blinked, "what day is it today?"

"Are you seriously asking us?" Minato raised an eyebrow, "we have been dead all this time!"

I blinked, "oh...right. Well then I think I'm fourteen, though I'm not really sure. Usually Naruto and I just shared a birthday, but being an orphan and all I don't know my real birthday."

"N-Naruto?" Minato's eyes widened.

I nodded, "yeah, your son. Nice meeting you by the way."

"How do you know my son?" Minato asked eagerly.

"We grew up together," I smiled, "I consider him a brother in all but blood."

"A brother?" Minato blinked, "h-how is he? Where are we? How did you even bring me here? I'm assuming you used the Second's Impure World Resurrection jutsu but how did you summon me?"

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Hashirama asked.

"Yes, I would very much like to know the same thing," Tobirama narrowed his eyes at Minato, and then me.

"Oh, I'm the Fourth," Minato turned around and showed his cloak.

"Woah! A Fourth! That's so amazing!" the First cheered, "how has the village been doing since we died! Wait, since you're dead does that mean there's a Fifth now?"

"Not really," I pulled out four chairs and spread them out, "please sit, this will take some time."

"Did you really summon us here to have a conversation?" Tobirama snorted as Hashirama and Minato sat down without issue.

"Yes," I nodded, "there is no Fifth, at least not yet. Hiruzen took up the hat once more after Minato died," I pointed at the Fourth, "the old man has been wearing it till this date."

"Impressive," Hashirama whistled, "I'm amazed the old monkey lasted as long as he did."

"He was our chosen successor," Tobirama shrugged, choosing to remain standing instead of sitting down.

I nodded, "exactly. Now, the reason I summoned you three is simple," I took out a seed and tossed it down. I then made the snake seal out of the seed grew a shrub as big as my face.

"Amazing!" Hashirama smiled, "so you're my descended are you?!"

I shrugged, "I honestly don't know. I told you, I'm an orphan," I sighed.

"Oh...I'm sorry," Hashirama hanged his head as he began to leak depression, "I'm such a horrible person. Please forgive me."

Tobirama snorted, "please brother, show some spine."

Fourth gave a nervous chuckle, "what a unique guy."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm sure," I patted his shoulder, "it's fine, please don't be so depressed lord First, it's sad to see one of my heroes looking so defeated."

"Oh? I'm your hero am I?" he chuckled throwing his head back and laughing.

I shrugged, "one of them. My favorite however is the fourth," I nodded at Minato, "but then again I'm best friends with his son, so that opinion is kind of jaded."

"D-does Naruto know-"

"-No, he doesn't," I shook my head, "he's too young...and too weak. He's barely learnt how to control the nine tails. Though we did find out about Kushina, so he knows about her at least."

"I-I see...thank you," the man smiled.

"So you brought me back to teach you the wood release yes?" Hashirama asked.

I nodded, "yes."

"Hm, I see. But then why did you bring back the Second and the Fourth?"

I shrugged, "why not? I might as well learn something from them. Orochimaru had already prepared your bodies, I figured since he's dead I might as well use them."

"Orochimaru is dead?!" Minato's eyes widened.

I nodded, "yup, I killed him."

"Why did you do that?!"

"Who is Orochimaru?" Tobirama asked.

"A leaf ninja, the Third's favorite disciple," Fourth informed him, causing Tobirama to glare, he charged up his chakra. I saw him getting ready to attack when a look from the First shut him down.

The first turned to me and smiled, "Yami, why did you kill this Orochimaru fellow?"

"Because he was a traitor and planned to kill Hiruzen and destroy the leaf by starting a war between us and Suna," I turned to Tobirama and glared, "and if you even think about flaring that pathetic amount of Killing Intent again at me, you better be damn sure to finish the job."

Tobirama snorted, "you think too much of yourself boy."

"Hm, I think I can take you," I smirked as I vanished in a puff of smoke and another form reappeared right behind Tobirama so quickly, the second fastest man in Konoha history couldn't even react in time before a kunai was placed on his neck, "and I'm much faster than you will ever be."

"Fast," Minato gasped.

Tobirama grunted, "you made your point...boy."

Hashirama laughed, "looks like you found your match brother!" For which Tobirama just snorted as I removed the kunai and stepped away from him, "I see...very well, I see no reason to deny you this. If you went through such lengths to protect Konoha, it will be foolish not to teach you how to control your power. Is there anything specific you wish to learn?"

I nodded, "well...could you teach me how to defeat Madara?"

Hashirama blinked, "why is that?"

"Because while I am not Madara, he is still alive and kicking," I turned to Minato, "that's the masked man who attacked you and Kushina, forcing you to seal the Kyuubi away inside Naruto."

"What do you mean?" Tobirama asked his interest peaked due to the mere mention of Madara.

"It's a long story," Minato explained, "it involves my death. On the day I died...there was a masked man that attacked my birthing wife, who was the jinchuriki for the nine tails."

"It was during childbirth?" Tobirama asked, "the seal would have been weak then."

Minato nodded, "exactly. And that was why he attacked. He knew...everything, where it was happening, what was happening...Kushina and I kept everything a secret, the fact that we were even married was a secret. But he knew..and he threatened my son. I fought him and barely managed to win, but by then he managed to release the Kyuubi onto the village. I sacrificed myself to seal him away, putting half of him inside me and the other half inside my son. And the man who attacked me, was an Uchiha."

I nodded, "and this happened again. The Fourth Mizukage was the jinchuriki of the three tails. He was attacked and put under the control of a masked Uchiha, this man claimed to be Madara Uchiha."

"So he's still alive even after all so long," Hashirama hummned.

"We don't know that for sure," I replied.

"Why is that?" Minato asked.

"It's simple, why the mask? If he was Madara, as he claimed, his face would scare people away. Maybe he's trying to keep a low profile but the only time anyone ever heard of him, was when he was planning something big. He didn't plan on me freeing the Mizukage or you living. So his secret would have been kept. So why the mask?"

"So you don't believe this masked Uchiha is indeed Madara?" Tobirama asked.

I shook my head, "no, I don't. But he does claim to be Madara and he's powerfull.., powerfull enough to control the Kyuubi. So while he may not necessarily be Madara, he should be treated as him."

"So you wish to learn from me to defeat this pretender?" Hashirama asked.

I nodded, "yes. This masked man...from what I can gather his plan is...well, kind of fucked up. I can't let it pass, I need to stop him."

"You know what he's planning?" Minato asked surprised.

I sighed, here I was at an impasse. What to do? Should I lie? No...that would be pointless. Might as well tell them.

I nodded, "yes. From what I gathered 'Madara' has gathered a group of S rank ninjas to gather all the biju. I don't know why, but I can't let that happen. My best friend is a jinchuriki, so I have to stop them, no matter what."

Hashirama smiled, "you have a amazing conviction Yami of Konoha. I am produ a ninja like you came from my village."

"Yes...but you aren't telling us the whole truth are you?" Tobirama stated, narrowing his eyes at my forehead.

"What do you mean?" Minato asked.

"You noticed it too didn't you brother?"

Hashirama sighed, "honestly Tobi, you need to learn how to respect people's privacy."

"Don't call me that," the Second snorted.

"What are you both talking about?" Minato asked.

I sighed "they mean this," I removed my headband, closing my two normal eyes and opening my third red Rinnegan.

Minato gasped, "a-a third eye?"

"And judging from the ripple patterns, it's the legendary dojutsu of the Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan," Tobirama said in a smug voice.

"Wow Tobi, that's amazing, I didn't know you like reading history books, that's so impressive," I said rolling all three eyes.

Hashirama giggled, but a single glare from Tobirama shut him up. The Second sighed and turned to me, "how do you possess that eye?"

It was time to lie. I activated my sharingan, "because I don't just have the Wood Release. It would seem I'm not just a descendant of the Senju line, but also the Uchiha."

"The Sharingan?" Minato gasped, "you just keep getting more and more confusing."

"The chakra of the Senju with the eyes of an Uchiha...that could unlock the Rinnegan," Tobirama speculated.

"Amazing!" Hashirama laughed, "a descendant of mine and Madara! My boy you are proof that one day we can all truly live together in harmony! It is almost as if destiny itself wanted this to happen. To think the two clans who once hated each other so much would have an heir that was blessed with the eye of the one who united the world!"

I shrugged, "you're honestly making a much bigger deal than it is. My mother was a whore and my father was some dead bastard. It's not destiny Lord First, I'm just...well, me."

"If you don't mind me asking Yami, why didn't you take one of the clan names?" Minato asked, "those eyes and the wood release would put you in a good standing to be a part of the clans."

I knew this was a test, an orphan would love to have a last name, the lure of power and respect would be too much. They wanted to know how I would react. I already have an answer for them.

"I was raised an orphan, I didn't discover I was an Uchiha until I was already a tokubetsu jonin. I didn't discover wood release until a few months ago. I became strong on my own, but the moment I make a claim to any clan they would simply say, 'oh, that makes sense, that's why he's so powerful'. All my hard work will be overshadowed by a clan who never cared for me. Why the fuck should I do that? I am Yami, not an Uchiha or Senju, just Yami. As far as I'm concerned, the family of friends I have right now is more than enough."

Hashirama smiled, "well...it would seem you inherited more than just my jutsu and Madara's eyes. You have our convictions as well."

"Tell me Yami, what would you do to protect Konoha?" Tobirama asked.

"Anything," I replied, he nodded, but then I continued, "and I would do the same for everyone else." This drew his attention, "peace for one village can be gained by punishing the other village. That's how the cycle of hate works. But I'm not interested in protecting one village at the expense of the others. No, I refuse to do that. If I can, I'll protect everyone."

"You're an idealist, just like my brother," Tobirama snorted to which Hashirama smiled, "but you can't really believe that."

"I'm currently in the Land of Rice, now called the Land of Sound. Orochimaru had made a ninja village of monsters that subjugate the people with violence and threats," I took out the mission scroll and tossed it to Tobirama, "my mission is to destroy the various bases of Orochimaru and reform a better village."

Tobirama opened the scroll, Hashirama and Minato looking over his shoulder to read the mission listed.

"That's the Third's handwriting...and his seal," Minato confirmed.

"The scroll is authentic," Tobirama stated simply, which was his way of saying he believed me.

"And just when I thought you couldn't get more like me," Hashirama chuckled, "are you sure we aren't directly related?"

I shrugged, "who knows."

"Well this convinced me," Minato smiled, "if there's anything I can help with, just ask."

"It would seem helping you would be the best course of action for us," Tobirama huffed.

"What he means is, we'll be proud to help you," Hashirama nodded, "now, what would you like to learn first?"

"Senjutsu, how do I use it?" I asked.

Two years later:

The capital of Oto was called Ta, it was much smaller than Hono, but far more populated as most of the civilians lived here, the rest of the land occupied by warring ninja clans that were now all under Orochimaru, put up inside his hidden bases.

My team and I sat on the top most room of the daimyo's castle, looking out at the small encampment of ninjas outside Ta's walls. They were the combined ninja forces of the twelve ninja bases that I raided that were filled with Oto ninjas and various labs Orochimaru had.

I gathered around 65% of all the ninjas Orochimaru had, the other 35% were killed because they refused to betray Orochimaru's ideals. Officially all the bases of Otogakure were destroyed along with most of the labs and experiment halls. But I'm sure more are around, somewhere.

"And why must I accept all these ninjas that are at my door?" the daimyo of the land asked me. He was fat and bald, with a thin pencil mush and thick ugly eyebrows. At his side were his personal bodyguards, each chunin level, which was all that a land like this could produce.

I looked at him, my oni mask in place, causing his men, who made eye contact with me, to freeze in place thanks to my mask's ability. I had grown since I began this mission, now standing at six feet five inches, I was possibly the tallest ninja out of Konoha to date. My body grew more muscles, though they didn't bulge like a body builder's but rather was more streamlines like a runners.

I spoke, "it's simple. It's because they are your men, your people. You betrayed them when you allowed Orochimaru to gain access to their lives, you tossed them aside like used paper, and now, you must take responsibility."

"I heard of you demons," the man snarled, I have to admit, he was brave for doing so, if I was him I would be pissing my pants, "I heard how you eight go across the country destroying Oto bases, why should I listen to you?"

"Cause we'll kill you all if you don't," Jugo replied coldly.

"W-what?!" the daimyo cried out as his ninja bodyguards grew alert.

"Oh put your toys down," Suigetsu snorted, he wore the same black cloak but this time had a bright blue mask. He patted Jugo's back, "if he wanted you dead, you'll all be dead." We found him another one of Orochimaru's bases, honestly, I was halfway expecting Karin to show up soon, but it seemed Orochimaru didn't get his fangs into her before I killed him.

After freeing Suigetsu from his prisoner we gave the white haired boy a choice, stay with us or go to Kiri. He choses to stay with us, his goal was to gather all seven legendary swords of the Mist, he knew he wasn't good enough to do that as he was right now.

"Indeed," Kimimaro nodded, he was the only one without a mask. His face was now fuller and his skin tanner, he had my complexion, the sun did him good..

"It's simple," I shrugged, "if you don't, the war that raged on in the lands before will continue. Orochimaru did you a favour when he gathered them all together. And while he was a...less that ideal match, the village he created was good. So, if you don't take responsibility...they will become violent, and they are currently less than a stone's throw away."

"W-what do you expect me to do then?!" the man cried out, "I can't control ninjas! That's a Kage's job!"

I shrugged, "then get them a kage, allow them to vote for who they wish for, it's none of-"

Ping!

Your Eternal Rival perk has activated!

Kisame Hoshigaki is 2,000 feet away from your current position!

My eyes widened, "damn, that is surprising. I thought we kept a low enough profile."

"What's happening?" the daimyo asked.

"We're being tracked by a monster," I replied as I got up, "Kisame Hoshigaki is coming, and I'm guessing Itachi Uchiha will be coming with him."

"Kisame?!" Suigetsu grinned, "then I'm coming too! It's been a long time since I saw Kisame sensei!"

"I'll come as well," Turtle replied.

"That should be enough," I nodded, "Sexy, Puma, Flute, Bones and Monster, stay here, keep them safe. We'll head them off."

"But I can help," Jugo spoke.

"Later," Kimimaro held down his friend, "I believe this one is a personal battle."

Damn that white haired bastard, he could always see right through me. I snorted, "whatever. Come on, try to keep up Suigetsu."

"Bite me," he growled as we took off, leaping through buildings before landing outside the village walls. The gathered Oto ninjas looked worried, but we blew right past them, heading to a large flat lands with a gently sloping hill. And on the other side were two figures, both wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them.

I stopped fifty feet away, I could see Kisame's body tense, he was on edge. It wasn't surprising to see Itachi next to him, but it was surprising to see Samehada back in his possession.

"How did you get that blade back?" I asked as I took off the mask and put it into my inventory, it's useless against someone like Kisame, and it would only reduce my field of vision.

"I stole it the first time around, why did you think they could keep it from me again?" Kisame smirked, though I could see an eagerness behind his eyes, a tension. I noticed his right wrist was white now, a different shade. And his eyes, they were yellow now, they were probably made from a white zetsu.

"I see...whoever fixed your hand and eyes must have been quite a genius...though white really isn't your colour shark boy," I smirked.

"Why you little brat!" Kisame growled.

"We aren't here to fight you Yami Uchiha," Itachi replied as he calmed Kisame down, "we are here for your companion," he turned to Turtle, "the Fourth Mizukage."

I raised an eyebrow, "ah, are you high? Yagura's dead, I killed him myself."

"Kiri certainly believes so," Kisame snorted, "but then again they always were a gullible lot."

"We know you have been traveling with the three tails, our spies have confirmed it. He uses the same taijutsu style and the same jutsus as Yagura," Itachi stated calmly.

I whistled, "I see, damn Itachi, you really are something," I noticed Yagura halter for a second, freezing in place. I sighed and tapped his shoulder, sending a burst of chakra out of his system.

"Gah!" he gasped, panting, "w-what happened?"

"Genjutsu," I replied, just then Suigetsu arrived on the scene, "Suigetsu, protect Turtle from Itachi Uchiha. Kisame and I have some business to deal with."

The shark man grinned, "damn right we do!" he swung his mighty weapon and removed it's bandages, revealing the scaly monstrosity that was hidden underneath.

Suigetsu groaned, "but I wanted to-" he gulped as I looked back and sent him a sharp glare strong enough to make him sweat instantly.

Blood lust, Lv- 19 (50%)

The ability to scare others with your blood lust.

Chance of success- 95%

-10% for every level the opponent has over you

I turned back around and pushed open my dragon skin cloak, "you sure you want to do this?" I asked him.

Kisame growled, "I've trained everyday since you stole Samehada from me," I felt his enormous chakra levels flare up as they all went pouring into the blade, "I've gotten a lot stronger since last you saw me brat! I've gotten faster too!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, Tailless tailed beast

Lv- 102

REP- -100

I smiled as I made a single hand seal, using my middle finger to cross my index finger horizontally, summoning three shadow clones, "so have I Kisame."

Yami, Vanquisher of Orochimaru

Lv- 98

ZOOM!

Kisame was much faster, Sameda nearly cleaved off my head. But I managed to draw Kusanagi up and block the legendary blade with a single hand. My left moved through hand seals as a layer of chakra exploded outwards in the form of blue chakra.

"Power Release: Shock wave!" I thrusted the hand out, a burst of potential force came flying out. Kisame was pushed back a few feet, but managed to remain standing, which was quite an achievement on it's own.

-100 HP

Kisame Hoshigaki: 1, 699,900/1,700,000

A clone charged him. Kisame instantly moved and blocked the attack, catching the clone's blade with his own. The strength of the blow was so strong Kisame's feet sank into the ground.

"Damn," he groaned as his hands shook from holding the clone's blade back, "what kind of monstrosity is that?"

"Okina Tsuyo," my clone replied as he pushed back, forcing Kisame to disengage and jump back. The clone placed the blade on his shoulders, showing it off. It was a great sword in the form of a butcher's knife. I had designed it to look similar to Ichigo Kurosaki's zanpakuto.

Okina Tsuyo, A rank

A great blade that harness Power Release chakra through it. It was created by Yami.

Durability- 10,000

DMG- 2,000 (+100 per 10 CP that is channeled through)

CP- X

"Where did you get a blade like that?" Kisame asked as he eyed it over, "it's quite something," he looked over, "and it would seem it wasn't alone."

The other clones I made surrounded Kisame, each holding another blade. The other two blades I had created used the elements of Wind and Scorch.

The Scorch release blade was a normal katana with air vents present along its flat edge. The blade was a dull blue with a sharp edge, it's gaurd was in the form of a phoenix with it's wings spread out in flight and hanging from it's handle was a blue string with a bell on it.

Asa no Hono, A rank

A katana that harness Scorch Release chakra through it. It was created by Yami.

Durability- 2,000

DMG- 500 (+500 per 10 CP that is channeled through)

CP- X

And the final one was a blade for wind release. And unlike the rest, it wasn't even a blade. It was a battle fan. One that, when folded, looked like a guardless doubled edged blade. Right now it was unfurled, opened up in the form of several blades that created a fan like figure. It was a light sea green, with the handle being a dark red.

Kaze no Naki, A rank

A great blade that harness Wind Release chakra through it. It was created by Yami.

Durability- 2,000

DMG- 600 (+100 per 10 CP that is channeled through)

CP- X

"Well...this is interesting," Kisame smirked, "tell me kid, do you even know how to use those things?"

"Suigetsu gave me a few pointers," I replied as we readied ourselves to attack.

"That brat? Ha! He can't even defeat the weakest of the seven swordsmen!" Kisame laughed.

"True, but I can," I channeled chakra into my eyes activating the sharingan. And with that, we began our attack.

"Water Release: Thundering waves!" Kisame spat out a stream of high pressure water at my clone with the Power sword.

Ping!

You have acquired a new jutsu!

Water Release: Thundering Waves, B rank

The user-

Not now! I dismissed the message.

"Getsuga Tensho!" my clone called out as a burst of blue power chakra came rushing out as he swung Okina. It was similar to Ichigo's power, meaning it was just as destructive.

Kisame's eyes widened as the blowing fang of power stripped apart the water justs and cme right for him.

"FUCK!" he stood his ground and brought he sword forward, absorbing the full brunt force of the attack, managing to deflect it skywards.

"Sakura sweet winds!" the clone wielding Naki, the wind sword, slashed forward, sending a thousand tiny blades of wind at Kisame, each strong enough to destroy him.

"Where the fuck do you get this shit?!" Kisame asked in a roar as he leaped away.

"From your mother!" I held out Kusanagi and flared chakra through it, causing the blade to expand in a second to an outrageous length of fifty feet that Kisame had to bend over backwards to dodge.

"Fanged dagger Shadow clone jutsu!" the clone with the scorch blde threw a fanged dagger than immediately formed over a hundred copies of itself.

"Oh fuck!" Kisame cried out as he swung his blade, deflecting a majority of them, while a few still flew close to him. And one particular dagger flew over his shoulder, there was a flash of blue lightning as the one wielding the Power blade appeared right over Kisame.

"Getsuga-"

Kisame's his hands already moving through a jutsu, landing on the dog seal as my clone swung Okina towards.

"Water Release: Super Exploding Water shock wave!" the resulting blast of water pushed everyone behind, cutting off Okinawa's attack halfway.

Ping!

You have-

FUCK OFF!

Kisame sent out an explosion of water so huge it formed a dome of around 80 feet of height that was over two hundred feet long.

"I didn't think I would have to use this so quickly," Kisame growled as slowly his sword's handle came alive and began sneaking into his robes, "I have to admit, you are one amazing ninja Yami Uchiha."

I saw his blade slowly merge into his body, forming the shark like man into a literal demi shake, with a fin on his back and a shark like face. He was in his shark mode, I think I remember seeing him do this when fighting with Killer Bee.

"I'm not an Uchiha!" I cried out as he moved, faster than before, and thanks to this water, I was much slower.

"I have you now!" Kisame growled.

I smirked, "not quite," I sent chakra into the rinnegan activating a jutsu, 'Amenotejikara!'

-4,800! CP

Immediately my body was substituted for one of my clones as Kisame's fangs reached inches before me.

"Burn and die," the clone with the Scorch blade Asa raised the blade.

"SHIT!" Kisame came to a grinding halt as he tried to move out of the way. But it was too late. The air vent along the side of the blade began to heat up as the very water around us began to steam up.

"Burn it all to the ground!" the clone swung the blade as suddenly scorch chakra came pouring out of the blade, exploding outwards, flash boiling the water around us.

"Show off!" I cried out as we leaped out of the water construct and landed on the solid ground once more. I looked over my shoulder and noticed Itachi using genjutsu to stiffen Suigetsu while dodging Yagura's metal bo staff. That man is planning something, he always is.

"You bastard!" I turned, the steam cleared off as Kisame appeared before me, now back to his human form, except now his blue skin was tinted with red. His cloak was destroyed, he now stood before me shirtless and looking annoyed.

Kisame Hoshigaki: 1, 687,900/1,700,000

I quickly formed twenty wood clones and sent them away. Kisame noticed, "wood? You can fucking use wood now? Fuck you brat! What else can you do?!"

"Hm, I personally prefer my shark meat well done, but for you I'll make an exception," I chuckled at Kisame's form.

"I'm going to make you pay for what you did to my hand," Kisame growled as he readied his blade and charged forward, immediately my clone with Okina came in, blocking the sword with his own.

"1,000 sakura petals!" the clone with the wind sword slashed forward, creating a thousand tiny flashing blades of wind that came at Kisame's back. They hit dead on, only to have Kisame collapse into water.

"I have you!" Kisame smashed his sword on top of my head, only for me to vanish into a poof of smoke, and the real me to appear before Kisame.

"Moron," I snorted as Kusanagi extended forward like a snake striking at an enemy at blinding speeds. Kisame had his arm pierced, blood came freely as the missing nin quickly used a body flicker to escape a good fifty feet away from us.

"Fuck, I didn't think I would have to use this," Kisame growled as he placed his blade into the ground, freeing up his hands. He immediately flew through jutsus, I didn't recognize what they were, but I knew it was going to be a nasty one.

"Stop him," I ordered as my clones moved to obey.

"Ten thousand sakura petals!" Naki expanded into a full fledged fan as it came down hard, the wind it pushed forward focusing into a stream of pink petals that flew at Kisame. The chakra cost was so high the clone popped out of existence upon performing it with the blade returning to my inventory.

"Heavenly flames!" Asa cried out as the blue flames from my scorch release came rushing out of the katana's air vents, mixing with the sakura petals to make them twice as deadly.

"Water Release: Trench's gasp!"

Ping!

You have learnt a new jutsu!

Water Release: Trench's gasp, S rank

User draws water from all around them, reforming the landscape into a giant lake or something bigger.

CP cost- 10,000

The resulting explosion of water that came out didn't just come from Kisame, but from the air itself. Suddenly the plain we were fighting exploded, water from deep underground was drawn out as chunks of earth was raised up, the entire landscape was changed in an instant.

People claimed the second was the greatest water user of all time. But he wasn't, in that moment I knew Kisame Hoshigaki was greater than Tobirama, and I would know, I did learn from the man.

And because I learnt from the man, I knew one thing. Every jutsu has one weakness, maybe several. And I studied water jutsus long enough to know what every water jutsu had in common. Their conductivity and movement.

Water had to flow, they had to come from somewhere, and I can target that. I leaped out of the water, landing on the giant man made lake that was now the palins we used to stand on. My clones are one, all of them didn't survive the blast, using their bodies to protect me.

"Looks like I'll have to get serious," I sighed as I put Kusanagi away, looking around with eyes, sensing the man's chakra right below me, he had returned to his shark form. Currently he was moving near the bottom of the lake, waiting for a chance to strike. I reached out with my senses, I could feel my wood clones, out of the twenty I made only five survived.

But that would be more than enough for the coming fight.

"I know you can here me Kisame," I spoke as I unfurled my cloak reliving my armour underneath. I activated my 8.0 enhanced vision and searched the depths for him, using my hidden rinnegan to detect his chakra, "I'll give you one last chance. Stop this fight and leave, and I won't kill you."

He didn't move, he was waiting for his chance to strike.

I sighed, "fine then, don't blame me for what's about to happen," I focused my eyes at the point where I felt him swinging. I then activated the perk I gained at level 80 via the hero maker perk;

Heat vision- Sent a focused beam of laser out of your eyes. Cost- 50 SP Max- 5,000 DMG

My eyes heated up similar to the sun as twin beams of red energy blasted out of my eyes and into the lake below. They pierced the waterbody like a blade of fire that flew straight down into the water bed below.

There was a sudden explosion as Kisame came out of the water, still in his shark form. He landed on the lake surface and growled holding a scorched shoulder.

I grinned as I cut off the laser, "I'll be honest, that was a total shot in the dark," I blinked away the itching sensation I gained in my eyes for using the skill, I was still new to it.

"You bastard," Kisame growled, "just what kind of ninja are you?"

"The kind who's kill list is filled with the names of S rank monsters like you," I replied as I charged forward.

Kisame plunged into the water, but I managed to grab him by the fin and throw him up into the air. He tried to dive in, but I made contact in mid air, attacked him with a fanged dagger that swiped at his eye, cutting it once more.

We landed and immediately engaged in a taijutsu spar that slowly grew more and more fast paced. He was using his claws and arm fins to attack, but I managed to clock them using a simple kunai. However he kept trying to sneak back into the water, forcing me to spend most of my time keeping him above ground.

I grabbed his arm and threw him over my shoulder, as he came down I thrusted the kunai in my hand, striking his heart. The force from the hit sent him flying backwards, breaking the kunai in half.

He landed on the water and jumped up, his hands moving through several hand seals, I recognized them, I countered with my own.

"Water Release: Water Bullet-"

"Scorch Release: Dragon Breath!" the blue flames burnt away the water bullets as Kisame finally managed to seap into the waters below. But if he think he managed to outskill me, he's stupider than I thought.

I looked at my right hand, my palm had been cut, I did it in order to slip a few drops of my blood into Kisame's body when my kunai stabbed him. I had learnt a lot since using my blood for manipulating the cells in a body. And one of them, was to use my own blood as a marker.

There was a flash of lighting as five clones appeared before me, the clones I had made before. And in each of their hands was a ball of amazing destructive abilities.

"Scorch goes first, then...it's anyone's game," I explained as I took off, leaping away from the water, reaching the lake's shore, turning around to watch the show.

The clone with the Scorch release vanished first, And then.

BOOM!

The lake bulged up in an explosion as the water exploded upwards. It began to steam up as Kisame's body came flying out.

-400,000 HP!

Kisame Hoshigaki: 1,030,000/1,700,000

"Lava Release: Rasen Lava Ball!" a second clone vanished in a blu roof lighting and hit Kisame in the gut.

-400,000 HP!

Kisame Hoshigaki: 630,000/1,700,000

"Lighting Release: Destruction!" the third one with a spinning orb of lightning hit Kisame in the face. But in the very last moment Kisame managed to leap away, getting only a small fraction of the blast.

-3,000 HP!

Kisame Hoshigaki: 420,000/1,700,000

"Power Release: Exploding sun!" the fourth hit Kisame's gut, and in doing so created an explosion so powerful it resembled the sun. The explosion sent Kisame crashing back into the lake, which was now bone dry. His right arm was a stump, he sacrificed it in order to escape the blast.

-200,000 HP!

Kisame Hoshigaki: 210,000/1,700,000

"Storm Release: Thunder's theme!" the fifth came landing into Kisame's prone form, hitting his stomach with such force the ground below Kisame exploded into cracks.

-200,000 HP!

Kisame Hoshigaki: 10,000/1,700,000

I dispelled the clones and reappeared in the middle of the crater looking down at Kisame's beaten and bleeding form.

His right arm was a stump, his body was burnt in several spots form the lighting and scorching flames. The lava had destroyed his back and the storm release plunged a hole into his gut. He was broken and lying, the bleeding effect would kill him...if I didn't do it first.

"Tell me kid," he coughed, his eyes looking up at the sky, "why do you fight?"

"I...I fight in order to protect the world and it's people."

"Stupid dream," Kisame replied with a snort.

"No...I don't think so," I looked over, I could feel Itachi's chakra waning, guess even he couldn't last against a jinchuriki for so long, he was going to win, I know that, but his chakra levels were flattering. He was sick right? Some kind of disease that was killing him, hm, maybe that's why Yagura hasn't lost yet.

"Do you know why I joined the Akatsuki?" Kisame asked.

"No...why?"

"Because I didn't want this world of lies to exist any longer," Kisame spat, "this world..where children kill, where those you are expected to trut turn their backs on you? I...I can't live in such a world."

I smiled, "neither can I...but...the reason people lie, they reason they try to kill each other...it's always because of the same reason. They don't trust one another. They don't...they don't realise there is nothing else in this world but us, there is nothing more, I could be wrong, sure, but for now...we are all we have. And if people realise that...the world can be a better place Kisame. We don't have to hurt it to make them realise that."

"Do you have a plan to do something like that kid?" Kisame asked with a snort, I saw his HP reduce to 4 thousand.

I nodded, "something like that yes," I remembered the images of Naruto and Sasuke fighting and defeating Kaguya, "don't worry...this will all work out in the end."

"Right..." Kisame looked up at the sky. Slowly his body returned to normal. Samehada separated from him, but remained at his side, curling up besides him like a puppy seeking comfort from it's dying master. It's scales were broken apart, I had shattered it in several places, but it still cared so much for Kisame, I was honestly amazed a sword could be so sentient.

"Kisame...if you want...I can save you," I spoke, "you don't have to die-"

"-No kid," he cut in, "it's my time...at least give me the death of a shinobi. Let me have my pride."

I nodded, "right."

"But...do me a favour will you?"

"Sure."

"Bring Samehada back to Kiri, I'm sure they'll find a new user for him there...there's a kid, Kiragu, he's from my clan, but nothing like me," he chuckled causing blood to spill out of his gut, "he'll be perfect. He's an idealist, like you. If you're serious about saving the world...let him help."

Ping!

I nodded, accepting the mission, "if he's ready, I would gladly take him."

"Good luck," he looked off into the distance, "a world without killing huh? What a nice dream..." and with that, Kisame's HP hit 0, he died. Samhsa began to cry, it shrank down into the size of a normal four foot long blade and became very still. I'm guessing it was in mourning.

I sighed, "damn, such needless death...whatever," I sealed Samehada away and used scorch release to burn Kisame's body into nothing more than ashes which I then buried underground. I so didn't want someone bringing him back to life.

I then took off, I could feel Yagura getting hurt, he was in trouble. I leaped into the air and charged, I located them quickly, Suigetsu was knocked out, his injuries didn't look so bad though. Yagura however...he was currently covered in black fire screaming.

"ARGH!" he screamed so loudly I could hear it from afar.

"There is nothing you can do Yami," Itachi said as I arrived on the scene and ran to Yagura, "you can't touch him without burning yourself, the flames of amaterasu are absolute. You aren't powerful enough-"

"-Oh shut up," I snorted as I reached out and grabbed Yagura's head, immediately activating my rinnegan to activate the Preta path and absorbed chakra. Immediately the black flames vanished into my body as Yagura was left suffering from massive burns, though the sanbi did it's best to heal him.

I quickly summoned two clones that each grabbed an ally of mine before taking off. I then turned to Itachi whose eyes had widened slightly from shock.

"How...that power...is it from your eyes?" Itachi asked.

I deactivated my third eye, I couldn't risk him seeing it with his sharingan. I then activated my normal eyes displaying the sharingan in them, "they are quite something aren't they?"

"...I see Kisame is dead," a hint of regret was present in Itachi's voice.

"I...I tried not to kill him. I offered to spare his life several times...I'm sorry."

"Don't be...that's just the sort of man he was...now then, what to do with you?" he sent out a stream of chakra, trying to trap me in a genjutsu, but it didn't take as I merely shrugged it off.

"That's never going to work on me Itachi," I snorted going through the hand seals for a summoning jutsu.

"You ability to resist a genjutsu is simple outstanding. I have to say, I'm surprised such talent was born to our clan in two generations."

"I'm not an Uchiha," I growled as I slammed my hand to the ground, "summoning jutsu!"

There was a poff of smoke as suddenly three coffins appeared before me. Itachi's eyes widened in shock as out of those three coffins the previous hokages stepped out.

"This jutsu...it's Orochimaru's...I didn't think you would ever fall this low and perverse Yami," Itachi said in disappointment.

"I don't need to be lectured from the man who killed his own clan under the orders of Danzo," I shot back, shocking Itchy so much he actually gasped.

"H-how did you know?" Itachi asked.

"Danzo himself told me...before I killed him for being a traitor," I replied before slowly the hokage's began to move.

"Argh! This is nice!" Hashirama said as he stretched his arms, "it's been awhile since you summoned us Yami! What's wrong? Do you not like us anymore?"

I smiled, "I know how hard it is for you all to return to this plane of existence from living in heaven. I decided to try and avoid it if I can't help it."

"Then why did you summon us right now?" Tobirama asked.

"Because I need your help deciding on what to do about this man," I motioned to Itachi who tried to run using a crow clone in his place. Only to have all four of us arrive before the real him, surrounding him and blocking his escape.

"My my, he is good," Hashirama smiled, "I'm amazed we managed to produce such a caliber of ninjas!"

"You're Itachi aren't you? Mikoto's son," Minato speculated.

Itachi sighed, "yes...lord Fourth."

"And he's in dire need for a talking too," I sat down on a rock, sighing as I did, "he's under orders to infiltrate and learn more about Akatsuki, but in order to do that he branded himself a traitor, a killer. So...I want you all to tell me what we should do with him."

"This is the same boy who you believe had Madara's help in killing off the Uchiha?" Tobirama asked.

I nodded, "the very same."

"It seems you are very well informed Yami," Itachi spoke as he deactivated his sharingan, "it seems useless at this point to fight."

"Smart move," Hashirama smiled, "now tell me Itachi Uchiha, do you wish to return to Konoha?"
