Chapter 301
"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.
Chapter 302
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.
Chapter 303
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.
Chapter 304
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.
Ping!
You have unlocked the Mangekyo sharingan!
Ping!
Conditions have been met!
Unlock the Mangekyo sharingan
Posses access to senjutsu!
Ping!
You have unlocked secret dojutsu! The Rinnegan!
I was shocked, I took out a kunai and looked at my eyes. The system
was telling the truth, instead of the mangekyo I had unlocked the
rinnegan.
What the fuck was going on?! I didn't understand?! How did this
happen?! I knew the sharingan came from the rinnegan but….oh fuck.
Hagoromo, the sage of six paths….the sage of six paths! He had the
sharingan as well, but when he killed his brother, temporarily, instead of
gaining the mangekyou, he gained the Rinnegan! I remember the filler
episode about this!
That means every shargian has the option to become the rinnegan,
provided they also have mastered senjutsu! That's why he was called a
sage, he combined senjutsu and his sharingan, which unlocked his
rinnegan!
No, I can't waste any time on this, immediately I formed a wood clone
and began turning him into a living being. Even the clone looked eager
to do this. The moment I was done he moved through hand seals,
ending with the final seal I grew familiar with, "Samsara of Heavenly
Life!"
Immediately the King of Hell appeared behind the clone and released a
soul that entered Holo's body. She gasped as she immediately began
to breath, all at the cost of the clones death, though by the satisfying
grin on his face he didn't mind.
I burnt the body and immediately carried Holo in my arms. I created a
few clones to kill the pokemon in the forest, allowing us to leave the
dungeon.
I carried her home and tucked her into my bed, leaving a note
explaining how our training was so intense she knocked herself out,
planting a few fake memories in her mind and removing the ones that
happened after we entered the natural dungeon.
Chapter 305
I then locked myself in my lab and curled up, I can't believe I just did
that. Yes, there were no lasting consequences but was my value of a
human soul just that much? I vowed to never do that again, not to
anyone I cared about, never again.
And even then, the sacrifice I had made...was it even worth it? I didn't
get the mangekyou in the end, I ended up with the rinnegan, which I
already fucking hard!
I needed to see this for myself, understand what was happening to me.
So I opened my skill list, and what I saw was a shock;
Mangekyou sharingan (Rinnegan form), Lv- MAX
This is an advanced form of the Sharingan that has only been
activated by a handful of Uchiha. Only this form posses the form
of the Rinnegan, giving the users it's abilities as well.
Cost- 1,000 CP per minute
NOTE: The blindness handicap has been removed.

Left eye- Nothing

a limited area around the user's body to stop, allowing only the
sharingan user to move freely.
Note: Once range is fixed it cannot be altered
Cost- 100 CP per second
Limit- 50 feet
A skill only unique to me? Cool! And it involved time control! This would
definitely be useful! And then the customary skill available to all
mangekyou sharingan user.
Susanoo, S rank
Susanoo is a gigantic, humanoid avatar made of the user's chakra
which surrounds them and fights on their behalf. When activated,
Susanoo forms around the user and becomes an extension of
their will, acting and attacking on their behalf.
Cost- 500 CP per second
Limit- Skeletal form
Durability- 100,000
This would be kind of useful, hm. Very useful indeed.
And just below all of this was my rinnegan skill, still active, meaning the
rinnegan I have right now are the true form of the mangekyou
sharingan, everything else serving as a cheap imitation or a copy.
I was simply fascinated by this new change, but I didn't have time to
focus on it, I needed to look into something else. The reason I did all of
this in the first place was to in the end gain Kamui, and since I couldn't
gain it through Kakashi, I would have to use the perk menu.
I opened it up, and sure enough because I gained the mangekyou, I
gained a few new options.
Kamui (Kakashi style)- A space-time related dojutsu skill that
allows the transportation of objects into a pocket dimension.
(Conditions to unlock- Gain over 80 REP with Kakashi.) Cost- 20
PP
I had 27 PP to spend. I used the 20 on the perk, gaining the ability
immediately.
Ping!
You have obtained a new dojutsu!
Kamui, S rank
A dōjutsu that creates a unique and specialised form of space–
time ninjutsu. It allows the user to teleport an object by
surrounding it with a barrier space and draws everything within
into another dimension.
Cost- 10,000 CP per use
Limit- 10 square feet of barrier space
Mangekyou sharingan:
Left eye- Kamui
Right eye- Jikanteido
Both eyes- Susanoo
I grinned. I looked at perk list, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi were both
available to me thanks to my +60 REP with Sasuke and Itachi. They
both costed 20 PP each. But since I as currently fresh out of PP it was
pointless.
I closed the menu and sighed. Now that both my real eyes were
rinnegan, real ones that I unlocked, meaning they were wholly mine,
did I really need a third eye?
To be honest with myself I was kind of used to seeing with three eyes,
though I had to admit, the chakra cost of 10 CP per second, per eye
was a bit steep, even for me. So I might as well get rid of it.
Although...that did leave me with a third eye socket just waiting to be
filled...and I did have a very valuable sharingan that once belonge to
Shisui….
I stood up and formed five wood clones. Immediately we began the
operation, putting me under and taking out the red rinnegan I had
implanted into my forehead. When I woke up I found that the now
familiar third all seeing viewpoint I once had was replaced with a more
limited view, though I knew this one had it's own advantages.
Ping!
You have gained a third mangekyou eye!
Ping!
You have gained a new dojutsu!
Kotoamatsukami, SS rank
The technique allows the user to enter the mind of any individual
within their field of view, and manipulate them by giving them
false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of
their own free will.
Cost- 10,000 CP per use
Limit- 1 time per day
This time, even my Mangekyou eyes were updated;
Mangekyou sharingan:
Left eye- Kamui
Right eye- Jikanteido
Third eye- Koto Amatsukami
Both eyes- Susanoo
I looked at a mirror and found my appearance a little odd now to say
the least. I had two purple hued rinnegan in my right and left eye and a
red four star shuriken like red eye in the center. It was...odd, but
needed to say the least.
Chapter 306
I took a few genetic samples from Shisui's eye, just in case it ever gets
damaged I would need to form a spare. Hopefully by that time I will be
decent enough at the process to form a spare, unlike my failure with
Kakashi's eye.
And right now, I needed to get used to using these new eyes of mine.
Even if that meant training like never before.
The day of the attack:
It was four in the morning when I snuck out of my home dressed in the
same armour I wore during my two year mission, minus the Oni mask.
I had almost succeeded in sneaking out through the main gates when I
felt several chakra signatures approach me. They cut me off just as I
exited the village, standing before me, refusing to let me pass.
I landed before them and smirked, "I thought I was being sneaky."
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Karin, Tayuya, Holo, Yagura and
Anko stood before me blocking my path.
"Not sneaky enough," Naruto stepped forward, "dad told us what you
were planning on doing bro...it's suicide."
I chuckled, "believe me Naruto, I'll be fine."
"You may be strong, but you can't fight six S class ninjas on your own!"
Sakura cried out as Kakashi and Karin nodded from behind her.
I sighed, "Sakura, trust me, I'll be fine," I flashed her a smile, "I'm the
shadow of the future Hokage aren't I?" I said winking at Naruto, "It's my
job to make sure the village is safe. Which is exactly what I'm going to
do."
"Then let us help you," Kakashi stepped forward, "you don't have to do
this alone."
"Itachi is coming after you," Sasuke readied his blade, "I won't let him
take the only family I have left."
"You're our friend," Holo spoke with a fierce determination, "we won't
let you die like a dog."
I flinched at the sound of her voice, but I slowly let it go. I sighed.
"Fine," I smiled, "you all can come," the smiled, Naruto grinning
excitedly. Immediately my eyes morphed into the purple hued rippled
pattern of the Rinnegan shocking them all, "just as soon as you wake
up. Jikanteido!"
-100 CP!
There was a pulse of purple chakra that flashed out from my body that
covered the surrounding area, catching them all inside the field.
Time came to a stop inside this field, Sasuke had tried to jump away,
he almost made it, but I was just faster. I moved quickly, the jutsu
taking a lot out of me. I quickly knocked them all out, a quick strike to
the neck helped with that.
I looked at Naruto and Sasuke, these two...I was robbing them of their
destiny, but if it meant they would be safe I...I didn't care. But...they
would need the power to take care of themselves, just in case
somthing worse than Kaguya ever reared it's ugly head.
So I enacted the last gifts I would ever give these two boys. I lowered
myself down and plucked out Sasuke's left eye, sealing it in a jar. I then
took out the red rinnegan I had made for myself and transplanted it
inside him.
And for Naruto, I took out a book, detailing how to master senjutsu and
fighting Kurama and stored it on his person. No one other than him
would ever be able to use it...hopefully, this would be enough.
After I was done I cancelled the dojutsu and formed ten shadow clones
with 20 CP each and had them gathered my unconscious friends and
take them back to Konoha.
I was about to take off again when I felt two more chakra signatures
reveal themselves. I sighed, "are the two of you also going to try and
stop me?"
Hiruzen smirked, "I doubt I could Yami."
Minato sighed, "I doubt either of us could."
I smiled, "finally, someone sees reason."
"Do you think you can win?" Minato asked.
I nodded, "yes, I can."
Hiruzen looked up, blinking in surprise, "those eyes...how?"
I grinned, "the combination of sage chakra allowed me to evolve my
sharingan to their proper form. The Rinnegan is the true next stage of
evolution for the sharingan, not the mangekyou, at least not in it's
present state."
Minato frowned, "I see...well...if you're ready then...here," he tossed a
scroll at me. I opened it up, my eyes pausing at the very first words, "I
heard from Naruto about your dream. And...since you might most
certainly die from this...I wanted to do what I could to fulfill it."
This document hereby grants Yami of Konoha the title of ;Shadow of

I looked up at Minato, "this….this is amazing...thank you." Minato and
Hiruzen smiled. I put the scroll away and began to walk, "tell Naruto
and Sasuke I'm sorry, but I have to do this...it's time to end this."
They didn't say a thing, they understood. I took off, rushing towards the
Valley of the End. The best place to finish this where it was supposed
to have began. Sasuke never left, Naruto didn't almost died, but this
would be the best place to end this war before it began.
Chapter 307
As I left I opened my menu and looked at the REP scrolls inside, I
needed to use it but...if Kurama found out, it would ruin what little trust
he had in me. I will just have to do this without him.
An hour later:
I waited, standing in the middle of the lake before the waterfall, Madar
to my left Hashirama to my right. I felt a chakra signature suddenly
appear behind me. I turned and there he was, hiding behind that
organe mask of his, a single red eye shining behind it.
Obito Uchiha, The inheritor of Madara's will
Lv- 104
REP- 100
"Hello...Obito," I nodded.
"Yami Uchiha," the man replied simply.
"I'm not an Uchiha," I told him, "my name, is Yami Kage."
He snorted, "a dark shadow? How...quaint….how did you know?"
"I'm a sensor," I shrugged, "you have the exact signature as Kakashi's
left eye. It wasn't too hard a guess."
"I see...once again Kakashi goes and ruins everything without even
trying," Obito snorted as he removed his mask, revealing his
asymmetrical face, his right looking crushed while his left looked whole.
"So then….what's the plan?" I asked, looking at the corner of the
valley, feeling four chakra signatures coming closer to me, "Sasori,
Deidara, Kakuzu and Hidan coming to kill me while you watch?"
"Yes, something like that," Obito smiled, "you won't be leaving this
valley alive."
"No Obito, I think I will," my eyes turned into the Rinnegan, startling the
man.
"Shit!" he warped, vanishing into himself, disappearing from reality. I
smiled, just as I planned.
In the Kamui world:
Obito appeared in a whirl, landing on his feet and panting, "damn! How
did he get those eyes?! Only Nagato should have access to them! Did
he steal them?!"
"Why don't you just ask me?" a wood clone brought down the power
release great blade Okina onto Obito's body. A blast of power release
chakra came exploding outwards to cover Obito's entire body.
Acting on instinct Obito's powers activated, phasing him out of this
world and into the real one. Where the original was waiting.
In the real world:
Obito appeared suddenly, but I was ready. I felt around for Minato's
seal, the one he placed on Obito so many years ago during the day the
Kyuubi attack. I found it immediately, and my clone flashed over with a
Rasen Nova Blast in hand.
"Die," the shadow clone hissed, Obito's eyes widening in shock.
BOOM!
Ping!
Critical hit!
-400,000 HP!
Obito Uchiha: 1,100,000/ 1,500,000
A darkened figure launched himself out of the dust and landed on the
water, his hands already moving through seals, "Fire Release: Great
An-"
"Water Release: Water Mirror jutsu!" I called out, summoning a mirror
of water, reflecting the fire tsunami Obito sent my way, canceling out
the attack.
"Damn it!" Obito cried out as once again he vanished. I formed ten
clones and waited. It took a few seconds, but then I saw it, Obito's left
arm clearly visible, it had phased back into our world.
"Go!" I cried out, ordering the clones to move, each possessing a
rasengan in their hand. They hit the arm several times over, destroying
the artificial body part into spatters of white goo.
Obito reappeared before me, now missing an arm, panting. "How did
you get a clone into my Kamui space?"
"Did you honestly think you were the only one who could use space
time ninjutsu Obito?" my Rinnegan flashing alive as my clones began
to form the Rasen Nova Blast in their hands, drawing Obito's attention.
He began swirling away, but on the other side, my clone in the Kamui
world also had a Rasen Nova Blast heading for him. He was stuck, and
he knew it.
BOOM!
Ping!
Ping!
Double impact!
-800,000 HP!
Obito Uchiha: 300,000/ 1,500,000
He flew away, and I didn't want to let him get away that easily. I quickly
formed twenty shadow clones and sent half of them away with kamui;
-100,000 CP!
It was time to end this.
"You know what to do," I replied. The clones nodded and moved. Obito
was struggling to get on his feet, he kept looking around for backup as
my clones surrounded him.
"If you're waiting for your allies, I wouldn't hold your breath," I told him.
With Sasori and Deidara:
"Damn it!" Deidara cried out as a glaze of ice hit his exploding clay,
freezing it whole, "Sasori! Do something!"
"A little busy right now!" the puppet master cried out as he maneuvered
his hundred clones before another wood clone of Yami, who was
currently using sage mode to ripe through the puppets one per second.
He was done to 54 puppets. It was getting so bad he was entertaining
the idea of using the Third Kazekage puppet.
"Ice Release: Fang of the White Dragon!" the clone fighting Deidra
called out, appearing behind the blonde by using the marker he had
placed on him during the beginning of the fight.
The clone thrusted his hand forward like a spear, coating it with Ice
chakra, piercing Deirdre's heart before he could even react. Slowly ice
began to spread throughout the explosion experts body, freezing him
on a cellular level.
Chapter 308
"H-how many damn release do you know?" Deidara asked as his body
began to freeze.
"All of them," the clone replied forming the ram seal and a tiger seal in
quick succession, causing Deidara to explode into a shower of frozen
flesh.
Ping!
You have gained 150,000 EXP! (Half of total due to clone usage)
Sasori knew he had to escape, he couldn't fight this thing, he was
much too strong! And if that meant sacrificing his puppets, then so be
it!
"Puppet master art: Thread jungle!" Sasori called out pulling his
puppets together to trap the wood clone, before exploding into a whirl
of threads that bound him together.
Immediately Sasori turned and ran, fully focused on running away for
his dear life. But then the clone that defeated Deidara appeared behind
him, swiping down at him with a katana that swept out blue flames.
"Summoning jutsu!" Sasori called out, bringing forth his Third
Kazekage puppet and manipulating it to create a sea of iron sand
before him to block the flames.
BOOM!
The sage clone from before exploded out of the thread jungle and
leaped behind Sasori, blocking his path of escape, trapping him
between two clones.
The puppet master gulped, his mind going through ways to live, when
suddenly the two clones began to use a jutsu he had no idea they
could.
"Magnet Release: Demagnetisation!" they cried out, thrusting open
palms outwards, sending a blast of chakra that immediately
demagnetized all the iron in the surrounding area, making Sasori's
puppet useless.
"I see," the missing nin sighed, "it would seem….this is the end for
me…."
The clones didn't say a thing. The one with the flaming katana came
forward and punctured his body, skewering his heart with the flaming
blade, burning the last part of him that was still truly alive.
Ping!
You have gained 175,000 EXP! (Half of total due to clone usage)
With Kakuzu and Hidan:
The two clones of Yami looked at Hidan and Kakuzu, the members of
Akatsuki looking intrigued.
"Yami of Konoha, bounty, 20 million from Iwa, 5 million alive from
Kumo. He's the one who managed to kill Orochimaru and Kisame,"
Kakuzu noted.
"Eh? So he's pretty strong eh?" Hidan grinned, "then it's going to be a
pleasure killing him!"
"Kakuzu," a clone called out, "why do you fight for the Akatsuki?"
Kakuzu raised an eyebrow, "why? Because I get to fight and kill
powerful people and gain money from their bounties."
"Couldn't you do that without them?" the other one asked.
Kakuzu shrugged, "I can take down tougher opponents with their help."
"I see... we'll pay you 10 million ryou to leave this battle and never step
foot in Konoha ever again," the clone called out.
Hidan blinked, "are you seriously trying to bribe him?"
"Fifty million," Kakuzu battered.
"Twenty."
"Fourty."
"Twenty five, and we'll even kill Hidan for you."
Kakuzu looked at his partner in hate, "deal."
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Hidan cried out.
One clone opened their shared inventory and took out twenty five
million ryou in cash, constant grinding and killing tends to have it's
upsides. He sealed it inside a scroll and tossed it to Kakuzu who turned
around and walked away, "he's all yours."
"You bastard! You can't just fucking leave! We have to fucking-"
"-Human path," the second clone snuck up behind Hidan and placed a
hand on his shoulder, ripping the soul out of his body.
Ping!
You have gained +100,000 EXP! (Half of total due to clone useage)
Ping!
Please select information to learn!
There was a list, the clone dismissed it, there wasn't a thing anyone
needed to know about this guy.
With the original:
Ping!
You have made progress in your quest!
Defeat the Akatsuki! (8/9)
I raised an eyebrow, it seems Nagato and Konan decided to stop
fighting as members of Akatsuki, meaning they were 'defeated'.
Meaning there was just one member left.
I dismissed the box and nodded to my clones, "do it."
Obito's eyes widened he tried to teleport away, only to find my clone on
the other side moving to attack him as well.
I used the shared sight that the Rinnegan granted us to observe what
was happening. The clones moved to attack him at once, using the
strongest elemental jutsu they knew.
"Water Release: Water dragon bullet!" a clone blasted him with several
water bullet. The moment Obito's body phased into our world, the
clones here moved.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" the fire burnt him, sending him
back into the Kamui world.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" the blobs of wind punctured his
body, and the parts that were phased out, the clone here attacked.
"Earth Release: Gae's gift!" a giant boulder came flying up into the air
and came down onto of Obito's body like a hammer, smashing him into
the ground.
"Lighting Release: Thunder strike!"
"Scorch Release: Dragon's Breath!"
"Lave Release: Erupting Volcano!"
"Boil Release: Acidic Rain!"
"Magnet Release: Iron Death!"
"Ice Release: Avalanche!"
"Storm Release: Giga hit!"
"Plasma Release: Beast Fang!"
"Explosion Release: One hundred TNT!"
Obito's body vanished into the Kamui realm. I used the dojutsu to
transport myself into the world, finding his body beaten and broken,
laying down in his own blood. I walked over to him, and I saw him
closing his left eye.
Chapter 309
My eyes widened in shock, "shit!" I ducked just in time to avoid a
chakra covered fist from cleaving my head off.
Obito Uchiha: 1,500,000/1,500,000
"So you used Izanagi," I grumbled, "fuckign hacks," and then, I
exploded, forcing Obito to disengage and vanish back into the real
world where once again he was surrounded by my clones.
I then appeared, using Kamui to return myself to the proper world.
Obito panted, "exploding shadow clone?"
I nodded, "indeed. This is the end Obito...I suggest you give up and
come quietly...I'm sure Kakashi will have plenty to say to you."
Obito snorted, "I have nothing to say to him."
"I know...I just thought I should offer," I flashed my rinnegan, activating
it's Deva path, I held my hand out and called out, "Chibaku Tensei."
-100,000 CP!
The black sphere formed in my hand and came flying upwards, slowly
suckign everythign insde, water, rocks, and even the very air around it.
Obito moved, trying his best to get away, teleporting into his Kamui
world. But the moment he arrived there the clones I had stashed away
came after him, move towards his right eye, forcing Obito to teleport
away again.
Only this time, when he came to the real world, I had my fingers
reached for his right eye. Before he even realised what was happening
I severed his optical nerve with wind chakra applied to my fingertips,
ripping it out of his face.
"ARGH!" Obito cried out, stumbling back, now completely blind. My
clones then grabbed him in this dazed state and threw him upwards
into the Chibaku Tensei.
He hit the core and immediately piles upon piles of rocks covered his
body, sealing him away inside a slowly bigger and bigger satellite that
grew to the side of a small village before I banished it skywards,
moving into the heavens to act as a smaller satellite for the day time.
Obito Uchiha- 0/1,500,000
Ping!
You have gained 500,000 EXP!
I'm sure the entire world will be shitting their pants right about now. An
extra moon just doesn't pop up out of nowhere like that. And I'm sure
people will be curious how that happened, guess they're just going to
have to live with that suspense.
Ping!
Quest completed!
Defeat the Akatsuki! (9/9)
Rewards:
Itachi returns to Konoha!
Game Over option
Meet Hagoromo
I blinked, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And then, before I could
even comprehend the words before me, I felt an incredibly powerful
chakra signature behind me. I turned around, and there, floating on ten
black orbs was a man with eyes like mine dressed in white robes.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, The Sage of Six Paths
Lv- Incalculable
REP- 100
I blinked, "so...you finally show yourself. I'll admit though, this is kind of
surprising..."
"I suppose it is Yami Kage," he nodded, "it is sudden, I'll admit. But
when the course of destiny itself alters itself and the cause is one
person with the same eyes as mine, I knew this situation demanded all
my focus."
"I see...so...are you here to tell me what the fuck is going on?" I asked,
"what is this world? Why am I here? Who...who am I?"
The Sage raised an eyebrow, "do you wish to know?"
I nodded, "yes."
He waved his hand as suddenly the world around my shifted. The
nature around my was replaced with darkness, the same darkness I
named myself after.

I looked at Hagoromo, "what is going on?"
He smiled, "you didn't think this was all real...did you?" his form
flickered and in the place of the mystical sage was a man wearing
jeans, a black t shirt under a red overcoat with the leaf symbol on his
breath, "come now Jackson, you're not that stupid."
My eyes went wide, "J-Jackson? That's my...that's my name?"
The figure nodded, "indeed. And this is how you really look," he pointed
at his form, "come, it's time to leave."
Ping!
Goodbye!
I opened my eyes for the first time in fifteen years and I find myself
lying down, the door to the capsule opening up above me as the
helmet on my head was slowly removed.
Immediately, I was flooded with memories, my name, my phone
number, my life. And standing before me was a girl with red hair and
blue eyes smiling as she held a stick of cotton candy in one hand and a
box of popcorn in another.
Chapter 310
There was no name over her head, but I knew it anyway. Her name
was Joanne Sears, she was my girlfriend.
"There we go," the man working the attraction came up to me, smiling,
"did you have fun?"
I blinked, "w-what?"
"Did you have fun sir?" the man asked as he pushed a button, the
entire capsule I was in raised up to stand vertically, I stepped out, my
legs shaking.
"Tony? You okay?" Jo-jo asked, rushing to my side, she turned to the
man, "what's wrong with him?"
"Oh don't worry, it's just a temporary effect of the virtual reality
immersion game," the man patted the pod. I looked at it, displayed on
it's side were the words, 'Have the full Naruto experience' with the
picture of Naruto and Sasuke on the sides.
The sounds of a carnival rang in my ears, we were inside a giant tent,
outside I could see people going about on rides and eating exotic
looking food.
"That was all a game?" I asked, slowly realising the truth of the matter.
"Yes," the man smiled, "it's the retro virtual simulation game from the
2020's."
"B-but I was gone for so long..."
"Time works differently in the mind. For you it was years, when in
reality it was just a few seconds," he smiled.
"I...I was in there for only a few seconds?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yeah...you okay babe? Should be go to the doctor?" Jo-jo asked
worried, shooting a glare at the equipment handler.
"No….no, I'm fine," I turned around and touched the pod, those
memories...now of the them were real. None of it...none of it was real.
"Come on, let's go," Jo-jo muttered taking my hand, "I knew using the
old junk ride was a stupid idea," she dragged me out into the carnival.
I looked around the rest of his tent, there was a game pod for other
worlds, Bleach, Marvel, DC comics, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson,
Highschool DXD, Dragon Ball and even Game of Thrones just to name
a few.
Slowly my memories came back, virtual reality games were all the rage
twenty years ago, but people slowly began to get bored of them, now
they were reduced to the status of the arcade games of old, cheap
novelty items you see in pawn shops or in carnivals.
We left the camp, Jo-jo going on and on about the next ride she
wanted to try. But my attention was elsewhere. I looked back at the
light blue tent we exited, the man inside waved at me, smiling. Then
the tent flap closed, and I felt the hair on my arms stick up.
Bring!
My pocket vibrated, I looked down and blinked. What was that?
Oh...my phone….phones are real...damn.
I reached in and took it out, the phone displayed my mother's picture
on the screen.
"Who's that babe?" Jo-jo asked.
"My mom," I told her.
"Oh, you better pick it up," Jo-jo shrugged, munching on her popcorn.
I did and placed the phone to my ear,the action feeling foreign to me,
"hello?"
"Tony! I'm just calling to ask what you want for dinner honey!" I heard
my mother's voice on the other end, she sound happy, cheerful even.
"Ah, anyting is fine," I replied.
"Great! Are you having fun with Jo-jo at the carnival?"
I looked over, the girl smiling at me, "yeah, we're great."
"That's nice dear! Alright then, make sure you're home by night! Have a
great time!" she cut the call.
"Your mom's so cool," Jo-jo smiled, "I wish mine was like that. She's
such a control queen," the girl grumbled, walking ahead.
I looked at the phone screen, the time was 5 in the evening, the date
made this the middle of July, 2039. I sighed as I locked my phone
screen and moved to put it away when I caught my reflection on the
screen.
My face was thinner than the one I saw every day for nearly half a
decade. But...it felt familiar. And as I was about to put my phone away, I
saw my brown eyes ripple, changing as suddenly, they morphed.
Purple ripples with black comma marks appeared for a moment before
vanishing. I was shocked still. I looked up, Jo-jo was talking to a street
food vendor, the people were all happy and cheerful, but something
was off.
I turned around, the blue tent from before was gone, it had vanished,
whole, I gasped in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Jo-jo asked, appearing at my side.
"T-the virtual reality tent, it's gone," I pointed, "where did he go?"
She looked confused, "tent? What tent? Babe, what are you talking
about?"
"The tent Jo-jo! The tent where that man put me into that Naruto virtual
reality game! We were literally just there!" I cried out, panic slowly
setting in.
"Babe...what are you talking about? The last thing we did was go on
the rollercoaster," she raised an eyebrow, now worried that I was going
insane. And to be honest, I wasn't quite sure she was wrong.
