"A Spectator may guide the narrative but denies the deviation of script"
"What do you want!?" A thundering voice befitting the most powerful bijuu
"I want a deal" Aiko slowly said.
"A merely mortal dares to disturb me and offer a deal! Fool! Even though you have an aura that could rival mine, you have no right!" The terrifying voice of Kyuubi echoes within the cave.
"Kurama-"
A furious roar resonated once more: "How. did . you . know my name?"
"-In the near future, you and the other tailed beast will lose their rights, their freedom, a mere tool for so-called mortals that you despise the most, forever sealed." Aiko prophesized the plausible event that is to come in a mysterious voice to no one.
"How can you be sure!?"
"The time is running out; now or tomorrow, may the next day, you never know what will happen."
"Prove it!"
Aiko's pair of eyes glow in translucent color, like a mirror of unknown history: "My eyes can tell the future, the past, anywhere and anytime."
Silence.....
"Tell me the deal you're talking about," the Kyuubi grumbled.
A victorious grin appeared on Aiko's face. "As I said earlier, you and your siblings will be sealed and will be given to each village to balance the power of each of them, but humans' greed can't be pacified with simple balance, so they conflict, and conflict, war after war as no one gives in." The previous joyful grin is now gone, replaced with one full of sorrow.
The Kyubii listen and watch the face of Aiko morph into a sorrowful one.
"I'll give you and your siblings a freedom—maybe not an absolute one, but still a freedom."
"Tell me, what's the cost? Nothing is free," the Kyuubi asked with suspicion.
"You will know someday," Aiko's secretive replied.
"We have a deal, human."
"I am Aiko Tenshi; I swear with my soul, for now you will forget what happened, and until the time is right, you will remember the deal to prevent any unforseen variable, I promise." With a blinding light, he disappeared.
All that was left was the sleeping Kyuubi.
And one by one, Aiko continuously
seek the remaining Bijuu to make a deal.
"Kurama" an old voice called the sleeping Kyuubi.
"What is it, father?" Kyuubi meekly answered.
"A variable will come someday" said the old man, but he did not explain further.
The Kyuubi merely nodded, thinking it's just a passing remark of old.
"Sleep well Kurama."
*****
Izuna Uchiha watched with Itama as Aiko Tenshi disappeared into the unknown.
"Izu-nii, how's your eyes? It's my first time trying to recreate an Uchiha's pupil."
"I'm fine"
He only watched the person he considered his own younger brother disappear.
"Izu-nii, let's eat!"
"Hn, Coming"
Watched, without knowing what to do, for the second time, he felt powerless.
For the second time, his sharingan turned into a blood-red-colored Mangekyo sharingan.
"Congratulations for awakening your Mangekyo Sharingan." The previous cheerful voice of young Senju changed into a dull one.
"Hn..."
"He just disappeared for a while; he didn't die, so... so don't be sad, Izuna."
"...say it after you wipe your tears," Izuna said.
After a while, Itama Senju started to walk away.
"Where do you plan to go?" Izuna asks, while his New Mangekyo is still spinning with intensity as he gazes at barren land.
"Did you forget?" Itama asked Izuna.
"Izu-nii, Itama-nii, this land will become a safe haven for those who receive a second chance, for those who reach their end, and for those who seek peace."
"Welcome home, Izu-nii, Itama-nii."
"I'm going home; I'll prepare a place for Aiko to come back, so when he returns, I'll welcome him with open arms" Itama added. "I'll uphold his legacy 'til he comes back" and he vanished, leaving Izuna alone.
"Aiko, I'm sure you already know the love of Uchiha is twisted in many ways, so come back as you promised" Izuna whispered to no one.
"Or else I'll set this world ablaze."
Until you return, I will wait.
