Kurenai, Asuma, and Anko were running in the battlefield with medical kit supplies when they were attacked by a group of group of iwa shinobis
But their eyes widened when a gust of wind sliced the Iwa nin neck open
"Are you guys alright", asked Ryo concerned
"Yes, Thank you for saving us", said Asuma who was excited meeting one of the most powerful shinobi out there
"T-Thank you", said Kurenai blushing, she too was excited meeting Ryo
"GAK", suddenly a spear made of stone came out of the earth and stabbed Ryo from the back
"GAA", two more stone spears made entirely of stone came out of the earth and stab him from either side
"Hehe, look like even a legendary shinobi is nothing but a mere mortal ready to die, you kids made a good trap"
The three kids grind their teeth when they realized that they were the reason Ryo was killed
But suddenly Ryo's body dissolves into a mass of murdering crows
everyone was dumbfounded when suddenly the mass amount of hands came out from the earth itself capturing every one of them restricting their movement completely
"IT'S GENJUTSU GET OUT OF IT NOW"
"KAI", "KAI"
Everyone tried despretly hard to break through the genjutsu, but no matter what they do they can't even once break through it
"It's not Genjutsu, its fuinjtsu, it's illusion", came the voice out of nowhere
After months of hard work, he finally merges fuinjutsu into genjutsu, making it impossible to break through even Byakuya and Sharingan would be victim to it, if he ever tries to harm them
"It's time to finish this"
"Gensō no Yami: Sanda no Jutsu (Illusion of Darkness: Thunder Technique)."
Just then, the scene changed with the water molecules in the air was drying up, dissipating any lingering mist, and the clouds over the iwa shinobis who were trying desperately hard to break free of those creepy arms hugging them all over the body
A pillar of lightning fell down from the sky destroying everything near the area (It's Kirin)
"W-what happened", asked Anko bewildered, she looked here and there but there was no destruction, no change whatsoever it was just like a dream where nothing makes sense, but just the bodies of 4 iwa shinobis that prove what happened right now was not a dream
"It was genjutsu", said Ryo completely unharmed whatsoever
The kid's eyes were shining at the display of that, but there was one in particular who eyes were shining like there are stars on them
From this day onward Kurenai yuhi decided to become a genjutsu mistress herself just like the person in front of her
-------
"ROOOAAAAAARRRRR", the four tails Son-Goku shout a mighty roar as he was released on the battlefield against Konoha by killing its container, whereas Konoha does not have Kyuubi since kushina Uzumaki is future de-facto Hokage's girlfriend and so she can not die
"RETREAT EVERYONE RETREAT", shout Minato as he made sure his army retreat successfully
But suddenly moon turn red as mass number of murdering crows started howering in the sky
'caw' caw'
"Summoning of illusions: chains", came the invisible voice out of nowhere as a countless number of chains shot out of the earth itself binding the four tails making it lie down on face down
'caw' caw the crows vanished from the sky and started appearing from their stomach
"AAAAGGGHHH what's going on!! someone save me!!!"
"It's genjutsu...aaagggghhhhhh"
They tried everything but they could not get out of it, Konoha shinobis were watching this dumbfoundedly not knowing what is going on here, how can a mere genjutsu cover such a large extent not to mention it's impossible to break through it
The crows started burning, most of the shinobis who has crows inside of them burned as well
"ROOOOOAAARRR", a roar of yonbi break through the illusion
The Ravens could have taken out everyone, if not for that roar which makes everyone break free of the illusion
Everyone look here and there but nothing change they were there, there were no crows
"Look it's commander"
"ANBU GENERAL IS HERE", the crowd cheered as they watch a memorable scene which burns in their minds
A man standing underneath a large sakura tree. Around him are corpses. who looks like they are sleeping with no wounds whatsoever
No one noticed that their almighty commander is breathing hard....setting up such a large genjutsu which could cover an entire army is not a small feat
-------
"ROOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRR" Yonbi was making the hell out of Konoha shinobi's
"We need to restrain him", said Minato to Ryo who was beside him
"There are only two ways I can think of", said bloody Ryo as he looks ahead
"What is it"
"First is Kushina and Kyuubi but I guess you will not agree to it"
"What's the second option", asked Minato frowning
"Capture Yonbi and become a jinchiruki"
"Then I will do it"
"No, you are next de-facto hokage, you know how they treat a jinchiruki, you won't be the Hokage if they find you have a beast inside"
"Doesn't matter, how can I ask someone else to carry the hatred of others, if I can't do it myself"
"Minato you are not going to do it"
"Ryo i understand your concern but th-"
"This is a direct order from your superior, namikaze Minato you will not become yonbi jinchiruki"
"B-But I am next Hokage"
"Doesn't matter, until unless you become the Hokage, my clearance and authority level are far above yours"
"Then who will..."
"Like you said how can I ask someone else to carry the hatred when I myself cannot do it"
"Ryo you can't"
"Minato... listen, I am darkness, I live in front of a stone always thinking of people who are already dead, I can carry the pain because I know the pain, you are the light that will brighten entire Konoha, you are the light who will bring peace to the elemental nations, you can not get tainted by the darkness like I am"
Minato grind his teeth and clenched his fist, "I promise, I will not let any other war happen, you can believe in me"
"I know you will", said Ryo as he started running towards the main battlefield
-------
The fact that ANBU General Ryo become the Yonbi jinchiruki, spread entire battlefield, they say that he stole the bijju to become more powerful
Some look at him with awe, some look at him with fear, some look at him pity, some look at him with disgust but they all look at him
Ryo stopped resting in Konoha campus to stop nervous them and hitting their morale
"This is not an ideal place to rest you know, especially to someone who is our strongest", said Minato as he sits on the ground beside Ryo
"if I start resting in Konoha campus, they start gossiping, even if I ignore them, they kept staring at me, I am making them nervous, sooner or later they will start to hit their morale, it's not good for me to be there"
"You knew this is going to happen when you become a jinchiruki, even if you did it to save them... didn't you"
"Yes, minato.....don't let anyone figure out kushina identity of being a jinchiruki, she won't be able to take it"
"How did you"
"Idiot, my clearance level is second only to hokage, no it's near the same level as that of Hokage, do you seriously believe I wouldn't be able to figure it out?"
"Someday they all will accept a jinchiruki as one of their own, I am sure of it"
"As if I care", as he lied down on rock hard surface, for a much need rest
-------
For 3 months they fought, they fought with everything they got, after becoming a jinchiruki, Ryo's chakra and stamina shot up to an incredible extent to the point where he can waste chakra without a care in the world
After aligning with yonbi he got Lava release along with earth and fire release as well
His abilities that already surpass anyone on the field becomes something, that transcends their mind
-------
"What are you doing here my jailor", asked Son-Goku as he was bound in chains inside a cage
"I don't have anyone to talk to, said Ryo as he walked inside the cage and lied down with his head on his furs
"you are tired"
"yes, you should rest as well", as soon as he said that the cage and the chains were gone
"You aren't afraid I will kill you?"
"You can't, I am strong enough to destroy kyuubi, let alone you
"Then why did you become my jinchiruki"
"There was not much of a choice
"Why do you care so much, they treated you like this yet..."
"There was a girl she was a Hyuuga, her name was hotari, she....loved this village, how can I destroy her legacy just like that"
"Then why don't you leave...."
"Konoha is my home, it's her home", said Ryo as he remembers a cold black hair beauty
"Now Sleep"
"I can't sleep in this kind of environment", as soon four tail said that the environment changes into something that resembles a dense forest with sunlight coming inside
The four tail stare at the forest for quite a while before finally decided to ask the human name
"What's your name"
"Ryo, what's yours"
"Son Gokū, King of the Sage Monkeys, Great Sage Equalling Heaven"
"That's too long, I will call you Goku from now on"
"You dare"
"God you are loud, sleep, we need to fight at any given notice"
"For someone as strong as you, you sure carry great love and burden on yourself, just like Hagoromo"
"Who is that?"
"No one, just go and sleep brat"
-------
The war ends in another five months, all of them fought with everything they got they are covered in blood but they were happy for the war finally ended
Ryo was in the middle of everything as he too was thankful for the war to end
A lone tear mixed with blood on his face fell from his eyes, the bloody war that took everything from him, finally ended
-------
The entire village celebrates they celebrate by drinking, eating dancing
Ryo celebrates by drinking in front of the memorial stone
-------
"Last time the war ended it was so much fun, I wonder why it's so lonely this time", muttered Ryo as he kept drinking in front of the memorial stone till he becomes unconscious
Unbeknown to him, there was a black hair cold beauty watching him from afar with tears in her eyes
-------
Minato was made Hokage, as soon as the war ended
He alongside Ryo was hailed as a hero, a true shinobi who will protect the village
Konoha becomes bright, warm and full of hope.
Minato is the bright, brilliant genius who brings hope to the village and will continue to do so.
-------
Ryo found Tsunade as they quickly become drinking partners and soon good friends
Tsunade laughs and helps herself to the sake bottles and lets her tears fall.
Ryo feels a close sense of kinship with this woman who is drunk and blabbering about her lost brother and lover.
This woman who has lost just as he has.
-------
"I have no idea why you didn't join the medic department, your chakra control is perfect," Tsunade mutters as she signed work reports and drank sake.
"Departement Heads sure carry a buttload of work"
"You have absolutely no idea"
-------
3 days later Orochimaru defects, That night Tsunade finds him and weeps into his arms like a child.
He didn't know, someone as strong as she could cry so much
-------
Tsunade packs up a week later and sneaks away in the night with her apprentice Shizune, her dead lover's niece.
Tsunade runs from Konoha, from the memories that haunt her.
"R-Ryo", asked Tsunade as she watches Ryo standing in front of the gate
A lone tear fell from his eye, "Good-bye friend", and he disappears in a lightning break
"Goodbye", muttered Tsunade as she left the village
"Goodbye," Ryo whispered as he stared at Tsunade's fading form in the distance as the fierce winds blew and the sun began to rise
-------
4 Hokage gave Ryo the Hokage decree, other than Hokage himself, no one can decline his orders, his orders will carry the same weight as that of Hokage himself
-------
To ensure peace, he was sent on a mission, in the land of stone, he watched Lord Tsukikage weeping in front of the grave of his grandson
For the first time ever he realized that it's not just him who is weeping, others are doing it one way or another
-------
He still returns too early and sent as backup for Kakashi in order to find the kidnapped Rin
The Sandaimei looks at him with such trust that he found it uncomfortable
"For god sake!! you are Hokage, please show some distrust, what are you going to do if I ever defect"
"Hahaha, you are not going to defect Ryo, for someone who goes through so much you are not going to defect"
"Tch, one day I will defect that day I will come and ask you the very same thing", as Ryo
Hokage just chuckled at it, signed paperwork for inviting its alliances for Minato official ascension to Hokage
-------
he arrives to see the birth of a monster.
The Chidori crackles and sings and lights bursts from Kakashi's hand and he charges. Blood spurts forth and Rin, sweet, precious, always beloved Rin, stands tall with a smile. Kakashi with his arm pinned in Rin's chest screams and.....
The light in Rin's eyes fade and her chakra grows smaller and smaller like a precious light so fragile and beautiful snuffed out by the darkness. Kakashi screams he was shaking terribly as he fell unconscious
A bijju appeared from Rin's body, seeing no other choice he sealed the 3 tails inside him making himself the jinchiruki or 3 and 4 tails
His stamina strength and chakra shot another level yet again
He gained ice release (He already has the wind before), water release and yin release talent
-------
He picked Kakashi and ran back to the village
Unknown to him a lone figure with an orange mask was watching him
"Nii-san, I love you..... goodbye"
-------
Kakashi is an emotional wreck as he weeps and cries and blames himself.
Ryo saw himself on Kakashi
Kakashi is going to break, just like he did and worst he can't do a thing about it
Kakashi holds onto him with a desperation
Ryo never had anyone to hug and hold him, he fulfills that role for Kakashi
