-ANBU Donkey-
Glaring behind his mask Donkey would ever so slowly nod. "Yes, Captain." 'Fuck! Fuck! Why do I always get assigned guard duty to her?!? I've been in ANBU for years, I'm not a rookie anymore, and she still treats me like one.' With gritted teeth, he'd step out of the briefing room and down the hall of the base towards the locker room where his teammates would be. Stepping inside, he'd nod his head towards Tiger and Elephant before beginning to change into his uniform proper. A few seconds later while he was still changing Tiger sat down on a bench near him.
Looking Donkey up and down for a moment Tiger would sigh, "Can't even enjoy the view knowing what I'll have to deal with for the next few hours."
Snorting slightly Donkey would nod. "I know. I just wish Hokage-sama would stop assigning me here, whenever I'm meant to be guarding her something insane happens, and she keeps calling me a rookie."
Tiger emphatically nodded. "I know! Ugh, she keeps degrading me, which while usually at least a little interesting, she's like 12! A kid is making fun of my abilities, I can't even say shit about it, because she herself is so strong."
A light airy chuckle filled the air as Elephant walked on over fiddling with the straps of her ANBU vest. "You two know she only acts like that with you two specifically right?" Tiger and Donkey froze, and an aborted snort escaped from Elephant. "Really? You didn't realize? Yeah, outside of whenever a traitor pops up she only treats you two like that. It's cause she thinks you're worth training idiots."
Donkey could FEEL Elephant rolling her eyes behind her mask. Turning around she'd saunter back to her locker, "Oh, and Tiger is right, that tattoo is quite lovely!"
A moment passed before a scream of rage escaped Donkey, "UZUMAKI!"
-Nagato-
Resting on top of a tree branch Nagato slowly dangled his legs off of it as he thought. 'Tobi visited Yahiko again.' Sighing slightly he'd shake his head. 'Foolish. We will be using the Jyuubi for our own purposes, not yours Tobi. We will remake this world. A world of peace. Of safety. A world where children don't have to cry from hunger, death, and poverty. A world where children don't have to huddle under boxes or cry in the streets.' A soft smile graced his lips. 'A world that you won't create. Infinite Tsukiyomi... what a joke. For a short period of time, there will be a utopia. Yes. In fact, after one hundred years the entire world would be at peace - because all would be dead. No, we need to remake the world, not destroy it for short-sighted peace.' Clenching his fist Nagto's eyes blazed with determination.
'We will remake this world Tobi - and it's because of you. But in the end, you too will die, for your goals will destroy this world - OUR world. Our world is full of suffering, death, and the cruelties of mankind. But it is still our world. But Tobi. Do you think I wouldn't realize it? That the Infinite Tsukiyomi isn't just a Genjutsu, but a way to break a seal? What seal you wish to break, I don't know. But, what I do know - is that it will never be broken. A seal cast by the Rinnegan - and you expect me to let it be broken?!?'
Chuckling to himself taking on a lighter mood Nagato would jump down from the tree branch and land on the ground, the rain beginning to splatter him once more now that the leaves didn't cover him. "Jiraiya-sensei. It's nice to see you again." His voice was smooth, but deep as his eyes bore into the white-haired Sannin that came walking out from behind a tree.
"Nagato... last time we met you instantly turned on your Rinnegan."
Nagato maintained his smile. "I don't think you'll try to fight me alone Sensei. Konan and Yahiko would like to see you again, you know? Why don't you come with me to their house and we can all talk."
Jiraiya's face tightened slightly, "I came to give you a message." Nagato raised a red eyebrow but didn't respond just staring intently at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya frowned for a moment before sighing. "Fine. You win Nagato, I'll see them before giving you my message."
-Itachi Uchiha-
Staring at the flickering gate set in the Land of Demons, Itachi would sigh. 'Into Hell, I go.' His Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan flared into existence as he stepped forward.
He was immediately assaulted by the noxious smell of gas and eggs. The next smell was that of rotting corpses. His feet sunk slightly into the thick black ash that made up the ground, and as he surveyed the area a frown quickly appeared on Itachi's face. 'The location moved again.' Sweat began to bead down his neck from the sheer heat, but eventually, he would finally spot what he was looking for. 'Hn. Danzo was correct.' Staring between the two volcanoes, he could barely spot a horde of demonic beasts camped out. 'There could have been a breakout any day now. It's a good thing I got here in time.'
Stepping forward he'd make a single sign and a Shadow Clone would appear next to him. Both Itachis slowly began to pick up speed heading towards the Demonic Beasts as a red aura began to surround them, before turning into ribcages. As they rushed forward their Susanoos began to gain arms and head, before armor slowly began to spread across them. 'A bit more. There's too many of them just for this.' Spurring his chakra forward more and more, just as he was about to reach them armor fully covered his susanoo, and a sword & shield appeared in each of their hands, and a sake gourd at each of their sides.
'Now!' With a leap both Itachi's jumped forward into the fray. The hell beasts didn't know what hit them as two Itachi's began to fight against them, and yet... 'I didn't realize that the Spirit Weapons didn't work for the clones. Then in that case. I'll just do this!'
His clone popped, and the beasts growled in victory, assuming it was something they did, but Itachi remained blank-faced inside of his Susanoo. Chakra exploded out of him as his Susanoo grew more and more. Soon, it was the size of mountains as it grew two legs and wings. The Yata Mirror and the Sake Gourd merged with the Totsuke Blade as a titanic red figure appeared, even larger than the two Volcanoes that the horde of demonic beasts was originally resting inbetween. "Perfect Susanoo." In the air Itachi's void echoed out, signaling both the creation of his Perfect Susanoo, but also his victory.
