Chapter 2

Along Came A Mad Magician!

So Much For Normal!

In an isolated meadow, under the afternoon sun, a little ways behind the estate of the head family of the Akimichi clan, an isolated and very un-Akimichi-like figure, of a slim but firmly athletic woman, with red hair and yellow eyes, spends some quality time alone with her favorite katana. With the blade and scabbard bound to her left side, in the manner of the samurai, with a white sash wrapped around a sleeveless green dress, and a pair of knee high boots on her feet, the mistress of the sword slightly dislodges it from the scabbard with her left hand for the ease of a fast draw of the sword, then takes a firm grip on her sword handle with her right hand. The sword mistress suddenly shifts her feet slightly, widening her stance as some electric purple sparks come off her feet, before she rapidly draws the sword out from it’s scabbard. As the sword begins to exit it’s scabbard and it’s blade is revealed, it clearly appears to be clad in chakra resembling a purplish static electricity, made visible by it’s intensity, covering the entire blade in a glowing electric purple aura.

As the blade picks up speed in the sword mistress’s hand, it’s aura intensifies and purple arcs begin to form between the blade and it’s surroundings. As the blade clears it’s scabbard, the arcs beneath the blade converge together, connecting the blade electrically to the ground, while the arcs above the blade stretch out and arc over, before reconnecting to the ground, and grow large, forming an electric purple plasma dome, surrounding the mistress of the sword. She raises her sword above her head, as the aura and the dome intensify, then with a swift sudden and precise downward motion, the dome is launched forward, passing over the mistress while still connected to the ground, and with arcs still connecting her sword to the dome and to the ground.

As the dome runs along the ground, it’s size shrinks, but it’s speed and intensity grows, until it becomes disconnected from the ground, forming a small purple ball of lightening, while still connected to the mistress’s sword and powered off of it. The mistress whips her sword up into the ready position again and the ball changes course, coming back towards the mistress, as if she just yanked the leash of a dog she was walking. She slashes her sword downward again, in a different direction as the ball gets nearer, redirecting the ball towards it’s intended target, into the side of a nearby cliff.

As the purple thunder ball hits the wall, the energy bound within it destabilizes and explosively discharges into the cliff and the surrounding woods at the edge of the meadow, causing the entire cliff side to explode into the very same meadow where the mistress is standing. Seeing this, she quickly discharges some of the same sort of purple lightening chakra, which was binding her feet to the ground, sending her flying high up into the air and avoiding all the debris from the cliff.

Sword Mistress:

Well… That’s a bit much more than I was expecting… I think I destroyed the gazebo!…

Before she comes anywhere near the ground, the sword mistress flashes some more of the purple lightening from the soles of her feet, before sustaining it at a lower level, freezing herself in mid air, as if having landed on some invisible platform, with the electric purple aura emanating from the soles of her feet, seemingly indicating where she stands on the platform. As she watches the dust settle from her semi-invisible platform, a familiar voice chimes in from behind her.

Familiar Voice:

I know you like to train for real sis… But don’t you think that’s just a little bit too much real?… For real?… I mean… You just destroyed a perfectly good gazebo!…

As she whips her head around startled, she sees her younger brother, the Kumo shinobi from the morning rescue of Sasuke and Sarada, with his long black vest, sword at his side, Kumo shinobi steel headband at his waste, sunglasses on his face, a white sash tied around his head, and with a similar electric purple aura about his feet, but climbing towards her as if climbing on a set of invisible stairs.

Kumo Shinobi:

Hey Karui!… What’s up big sis!… How’s it been hangin in normie town?…

Karui:

Yukai?!?… Oh great!… That’s all I need right now!… Just what are you and that crazy old man up to now?!?…

As Yukai approaches Karui’s position, Karui releases a quick flash of the electric purple aura at the bottom of her feet and launches herself in the direction of her family’s home, quickly followed by Yukai doing likewise. The two siblings land just behind her house, with another set of purple flashes cushioning their landing.

Yukai:

Things are coming to a head now… You knew this day was gonna come… There just isn’t any more time…

Karui:

If this is about what happened at the chunin exams… That had nothing to do with us… They were just here… as an empire… just being… an empire… That’s what empires do… That’s why empires are evil… So what else is new?… They had absolutely no idea about us… That had nothing to do with us…

Yukai:

Can you really be so sure?… Even if you could be so sure… there are a lot of different things going on right now… besides what happened at the chunin exams… There’s a lot you don’t know… There’s a lot we haven’t yet told you… for your sake…

As twilight in Konoha fades into darkness, a swirling whirling snowy white funnel of a tornado strikes the center of the city square, coming seemingly out of nowhere, then disperses amid the bright lights and marquis of downtown Konoha, revealing the same hooded man in black from Sasuke’s and Sarada’s rescue earlier in the morning, still with the white rabbit on his shoulder, still crackling with purple sparks, and with purple arcs between the ears. The dark wizard begins to speak in a big booming voice that seems to come from everywhere at once, echoing throughout Konoha as he rants.

Dark Wizard:

People of Konoha!… The end of Konoha… is nigh!… The end of human freedom… is nigh!… The gods in the heavens… are false… corrupt… and hopelessly degenerate parasites!… Your lords… your masters and protectors… your baca shinobi… are all nothing… before a celestial empire… of degenerate and parasitical false gods!… They are no protection… In time…they will likely serve your real masters too!… My name… is Uzumaki Shintaro!… A name that was made to be forgotten… because it belonged to someone who exposed your precious authorities… as nothing more than the parasites that they are!… They are nearly as corrupt and degenerate… if not more so… than the false gods… of the Otsutsuki Empire!… Everything you think you know… is false!… Everything you believe… is a lie!… Authority… is a lie!… Justice… is a lie!… Any freedom that you think you have… is nothing but an illusion born of such lies!… And the truth… is just something you’re not allowed to have… And all of you baca normies don’t want to hear it anyway!… If you trust any power not in your own hands… then you are nothing but baca!… And you will get exactly what you deserve… as the worthless useless baca normies that you are!… A wise lord once said… power corrupts!… and absolute power… corrupts absolutely!… And all of your precious authorities… are absolutely no exception!… Politics… are poison!… Not a solution!… Just more of the same degenerate pathology!… The law… so called… is nothing but a fraudulent racket… providing cover… for thieves and brigands!… There is no true law… but the natural law!… It is the only law that binds us all… no exceptions… and no excuses… not even for the false gods of empire!… Your real masters are coming for you!… They are coming for your children!… They are coming for your flesh… for your blood… for your spirit… and for the very essence… of your existence… to feed upon as parasites… until there is nothing left behind… but desolation and death!… The Otsutsuki Empire of degenerate parasites… is coming for you all!…

A brown haired male shinobi, in fake fur lined coat, accompanied by a small reddish brown growling dog, approaches Shintaro.

Doggy Shinobi:

Now don’t you think… that’s a bit much?… Eh?… Stranger?…

Shintaro:

Well… who might you be?… and your little dog too?…

Doggy Shinobi:

Inuzuka Kiba… Detective Inuzuka Kiba… And this is Akemaru…

Shintaro:

Ooooh!… A detective!… Well congratulations detective!… You’ve detected me!… I’m here!… You spotted me!… here in downtown Konoha… out in the open… But well done!… Well spotted!… Now what detective?…

As Shintaro mocks, Akemaru begins to bark at him and the little rabbit.

Shintaro:

Raja!…

The rabbit on his shoulder unleashes a few sparks of purple lightening, while instantly transporting itself, from Shintaro’s shoulder to a position on the ground in front of Shintaro, between him and the Shinobi with his ninja hound, as Raja continues to emit random sparks of purple lightening.

Kiba:

Raja huh?… What’s up your friend?… Raja?…

Shintaro:

What’s up with Raja?… Your mutt is one the growling and barking!… Urusai!… Baca inu!…

Another male Shinobi arrives and stands next to Kiba, wearing a black bowl cut hairdo and a green sleeveless one piece jump suit, with a single fanny pack strapped behind him.

Bowl Cut:

Kibasan… is there a problem here?… Is this person the source… of that loud voice just now?…

Kiba:

Ai… Leesan… This guy is definitely the loud mouth in question… He’s the one calling himself Uzumaki Shintaro… And he’s got bit of an attitude problem too…

Shintaro:

Hah!… The baca shinobi… thinks I… have an attitude problem!… You have no idea how hysterical that is to me right now… coming from baca shinobi of all people…

Lee:

Uzumaki desuka?… Sodesuka?… Are you related… to Uzumaki Naruto?…

Shintaro:

Hai… Naruto is my nephew…

Kiba:

I don’t believe you!…

Shintaro:

I don’t care what you believe!… Baca shinobi!… You will believe whatever you want… Everyone always does… no exceptions… and no excuses… I couldn’t care less what baca shinobi… or anyone else for that matter… chooses to believe… Don’t waste time and breath expecting me to care… I don’t need your permission or approval for anything!… Baca shinobi!…

Kiba:

Your going to need my permission to breath… if you keep talking like that…

Lee:

Now now… Kibasan… I think my friend Kibasan… would be less antagonistic… if you would refrain from referring to us… as baca shinobi…

Shintaro:

Wakata!… Baca!… If I were a shinobi… I would want to live it down too!…

Kiba:

That’s it!…

Kiba and Akemaru take a step forward, then Raja ramps up his purple sparks, as a warning, stopping them in their tracks.

Shintaro:

Now now… baca!… You wouldn’t want to provoke Raja… unnecessarily… He can be very… volatile…

Lee:

You talk big… for someone hiding behind a small white rabbit…

Shintaro:

Oh… I’m not hiding behind Raja… If anything… I’m holding him back!… Raja doesn’t like baca shinobi… A prejudice that he admittedly gets at least partially from me… Raja!…

Shintaro claps his hands twice, before Raja, converts himself entirely into purple lightening, then shoots himself right at the demon bio-hazard gourd, strapped to Shintaro’s side, being completely and harmlessly absorbed by the gourd.

Shintaro:

I don’t need Raja… to deal with baca shinobi… You two couldn’t handle Raja anyway… And I didn’t come here to kill shinobi… not even baca shinobi!…

Kiba:

If you keep taking us so lightly… your going to wish you hadn’t done that…

Shintaro:

Ready when you are!… Baca Inu!…

Kiba and Akemaru take another step towards Shintaro, before Shintaro quickly reaches over to his left with his right hand, and whips out something from between his gourd and his left side, then brandishes it in Kiba’s face.

Kiba:

A brush?!?…

Shintaro:

Don’t scoff!… This thing is fully loaded!… And it has a bit of a hair trigger too… being a hair brush an all… It could just go off… at any moment…

Shintaro wiggles the brush with red bristles and a white cardboard handle in Kiba’s face.

Kiba:

Urusai!… Baca!… That’s enough out of you!…

Shintaro:

You were warned… baca shinobi… Demon Ink… Shadow Kraken!…

Shintaro pulls the brush towards himself and the gourd at his side, then lifts up the brush towards the sky as black ink spills forth upwards from out of the gourd, before he rapidly lowers his brush down to touch the ground, leading the ink to follow suit, spilling down onto the ground. The ink being lead about with his brush, as if his brush were a magic wand, spreads out underneath the feet of the shinobi and begins to take shape. Forming the shape of some legendary sea monster, the ink monster lifts itself off of the ground, becoming solid, and seizes hold of the two shinobi, and the little dog too, with numerous twisting and writhing ink tentacles, of an ink made creature from the darkest abyss of human imagination and ancient legends.

Shintaro:

Sayonara!… Baca shinobis!… Ha! Ha! Ha!…

Then the wind suddenly picks up, and swirls about Shintaro’s feet, lifting him off the ground by about a half a foot, suspending him on a cushion of air, courtesy of Shintaro’s wind style jutsu, as Shintaro’s laughter echoes and propagates unnaturally throughout Konoha. With a sudden gust of wind, Shintaro is propelled away a high speed, gliding upon a cushion of air and propelled by the wind itself. As Shintaro disappears down an avenue, still laughing as he goes, Lee starts emitting a pale blue aura, as certain naturally protective chakra limiters are released within his body, opening the gates.

Lee:

Gate of Pain… Open!…

Then he busts out of the ink tentacles binding him, courtesy of Lee’s mastery of the Eight Gates. Then busting through several more, before making his way to Kiba and Akemaru, to bust them out as well.

Lee:

Kibasan!… Akemaru!…

Kiba and Akemaru are freed, and retreat slightly with Lee.

Lee:

Kibasan!… Daijoubu desuka?…

Kiba:

Ai… Akemaru?…

Akemaru barks in the affirmative.

Kiba:

Leesan… You’re faster… You go after him… I’ll deal with this thing here… I’ve got that baca’s scent… So I’ll catch up… Go!… Imada!…

Lee heads off at best speed, leaving Kiba and Akemaru to deal with the Shadow Ink Kraken. As Shintaro speeds his way along a seemingly random path through Konoha, he puts his brush away and performs a quick sequence of hand seals, before uttering something to himself.

Shintaro:

Uzumaki Snow Globe…

A dome barrier descends over Konoha and the surrounding nearby mountains, then fills the air above Konoha with a swirling snow storm, blanketing summertime Konoha in snow, driving most people in doors. As the snow falls, Shintaro continues to glide a half a foot above the snow, blowing it up into the air as he passes. As the snowfall begins to lighten slightly, Lee rapidly catches up with Shintaro, as he plows his own path through the snow, before launching himself forward with a burst of speed, readying his fist to deliver a decisive blow. Shintaro rapidly spins around to glide backwards, catching Lee’s fist in the palm of his right hand, startling Lee.

Shintaro:

If you wanted to go for a ride baca shinobi… all you had to do… was ask…

Shintaro points his open left handed palm downward towards the ground in between the two of them, conjuring up a whirling wind from his palm and all over the surface of his body, surrounding the two of them and directed downward towards the ground, rapidly hoisting them high up into the air. Shintaro releases Lee, tossing him higher up into the air, before suspending himself in mid air, as if standing on an invisible platform of pure wind. As Lee starts to fall, he calls out high up in the snowy air.

Lee:

Gate of View… Open!!!…

Lee begins rapidly punching and kicking the air, so rapidly that the friction created ignites even the snow filled air high above Konoha, as shock wave after shock wave comes from Lee, thrusting and maneuvering himself in the air, heading towards Shintaro, where he is still standing and waiting in mid air slightly beneath Lee.

Shintaro:

View eh?… Interesting!… Just what is it you hope to view with it?…

Lee reaches into the fanny back behind him and whips out a long chain with a small steel ball on one end.

Lee:

Chain of Damacles… Super Lotus!…

Lee whips his chain around Shintaro, wrapping it around him, binding his arms to his side as Lee continues to thrust and maneuver, spinning Shintaro around and around, faster and faster, until crashing down into the newly snow covered Senju Park beneath them. Lee makes a couple of quick cushioning thrusts, before landing with his feet on a snow bank, while Shintaro crashes head first into the snow covered ground.

Lee:

I will view your end… bacasan… apparently… who ever you were supposed to be…

Kiba and Akemaru, arrive shortly after, and join Lee on the snow bank.

Lee:

Sumimasen… Kibasan… But I think I may have just killed… Naruto’s uncle!…

A whirl wind blizzard erupts out of the ground where Shintaro crashed, as Shintaro flies up and hovers several meters above the crater, now empty except for a light dusting of snow falling back down into it, as the blizzard spreads out from it’s center like a snowy shock wave, covering the surrounding area in another fresh dusting of snow, including the observing shinobi on the snow bank.

Shintaro:

Ha! Ha! Ha!… That was spectacular!… A masterpiece of jutsu!… Such exquisite technique!… I’ll even give top marks… for the dismount!… My complements to your master!… But you will need more than that… to deal with me!…

Shintaro lowers himself, fan still in hand, to just half a foot above the snow covered edge of the cater, then glides over to the snow bank where Lee, Kiba, and Akemaru stand stunned, with Lee blushing slightly.

Shintaro:

It’s nice to know… that the legacy of my hapless apprentice Might Daisan… is alive and well in Konoha!… What other sorts of tricks do you have in your arsenal?…

Just then, a blonde shinobi with blue eyes in an orange jacket, shoulders covered a short white cape with the symbols for ‘Seventh Hokage’ written down the back, bursts onto the scene with a dense whirling ball of pure chakra in his palm.

Hokage:

Rasengan!…

As the orange hokage moves to strike Shintaro with his Rasengan, Shintaro raises his right palm up with a small whirlwind within it, and catches the hokage’s Rasengan in his wind style glove, before thrusting the Rasengan and the hokage with it, downward into the ground, burrowing their way into the ground, making another snow dusted crater. As Shintaro glides away, a sage mode hokage bursts out of the crater, before the dust and snow completely settle, and launches himself at Shintaro, as Shintaro stops and plants his feet firmly in the snow. As the hokage strikes at Shintaro, his right hand catches the hokage’s fist with an impact so powerful that it creates a shock wave, blowing a wave of dirt and snow out from the center of the impact, creating another small crater beneath their feet from the shock wave alone.

Shintaro:

Nice to see you too nephew… Your looking well… Naruto… in a manner of speaking…

While gripping Naruto’s fist tightly in his hand, Shintaro pulls his hood back to reveal a head of long vivid red hair, wearing a pair of black shades covering his eyes, with red senjutsu markings around his eyes, that extend out slightly from under the coverage of his shades. The markings start at a point near near the tip of the nose on either side, with the lines following the ridge of the nose upward on both sides until they meet the inside corner of the eyes, then splitting in two as they work their way around the top and bottom of each eye, until they recombine at the outside corner of the eyes, continuing on until they come to a sharp point, just short of the hair lines along the sides of Shintaro’s face. Shintaro’s red hair begins to move and animate on it’s own, growing and writhing around and extending as it whips around Naruto, binding him with his arms tied to his sides, then lifting him up and whirling him about, before throwing him into the snow bank of the observing shinobi, forcing them to reposition themselves elsewhere on the bank.

Just then, a portal opens up a few feet above the snowy ground near Shintaro and the others, and out of the portal lands Sasuke with pair of glaring red Rinne Sharingan glaring at Shintaro, his sword already drawn in his new right hand with three shuriken in the fingers of his new left hand, ready to be thrown. Sasuke hurls the shuriken at Shintaro’s head, only for them to be instantly blown away by the gusts of a strong whirlwind defense, whirling around Shintaro.

Sasuke:

Where’s Naruto?…

Then, as if to answer, Naruto bursts out of the snow bank.

Naruto:

Sasuke!… You’re here!… This one’s tricky… And he’s mastered senjutsu…

Shintaro:

How kind of you to notice nephew… A sage can always recognize another sage… I guess it takes one to know one… in a manner of speaking…

With a quick series of hand seals, Sasuke unleashes a massive fire ball in Shintaro’s direction, calling it out.

Sasuke:

Fire Ball jutsu!…

Shintaro:

So you want to play with fire eh?… Do ya boyo?… Fine!… Lets dance in the flames together!…

As the fireball hits, the fire is sucked up into the whirlwind about Shintaro, blowing hotter, higher, and growing bigger all around, then spreading out from the center over the snow covered park, melting and steaming as it goes, creating a shock wave of steam behind the progressing wall of flame, but diminishing in intensity as it progresses out from the center. The steam engulfs the combatants, as they disappear into the artificial fog of war, and all that can be seen or heard are the occasional glow of burning flames, flashes of lightening, and the sounds of clashing steel and shattering ice.

As the two combatants clash within the artificial fog, four more shinobi arrive and join Naruto at his position, as Kiba, Lee, and Akemaru do the same. Sarada is among the four new shinobi, lead by their jonin team leader, with brown hair and a light blue scarf around his neck. Two more male shinobi fill out the team, one in black and red jacket with blonde hair and blue eyes, somewhat resembling the orange hokage, and another possessing blueish white hair, with yellow eyes, wearing a half white and half grayish light blue kimono, with border line between the two color schemes split down the middle, wearing overly long sleeves, and tied with a leather belt about the waste.

Sasuke:

Chidori Stream!…

Shintaro launches his whirlwind defense again, to ward off the streaming Chidori, clearing out all the steam, revealing Sasuke and Shintaro in the middle of a clash of elements, chakra, as well as ice and steel. Shintaro stands before Sasuke holding a sword made entirely of ice with a straight double edged blade, as Shintaro’s wind easily fends off Sasuke’s lightening, causing the stream to arc and flow elsewhere into the surroundings, even threatening those observing the fight from nearby. Sasuke cuts off his own lightening stream and shifts his attack, as he closes in on Shintaro with his sword at the ready. Shintaro cuts off his whirlwind defense before shifting his ice blade sowrd to his left hand, and pulling out his brush again with his right. Shintaro swishes and flicks with his brush in the air.

Shintaro:

Oi!… Baca Inu!… I haven’t forgotten about you and the other baca shinobi…

Ink spills out of shintaro’s gourd and onto the newly bare wet ground, where it takes the form of a black ink cat’s shadowy silhouette, being cast upon the ground. 

Shintaro:

Demon Ink… Herd of Feral Shadow Cats!…

A copy of the ink shadow cat on the ground, pops up into solid form in the air above the ink form on the ground. The ink shadow cat starts chasing after the observing shinobi as another pops up into the air behind it, and then another, and another, and so on, until there are a large herd of small feral black ink shadow cats chasing after the nearby shinobi, hissing, howling, and growling, as the ink shadow cats attack.

Kiba:

Neko?!?…

Kiba , Akemaru, and the other shinobi, are covered and practically buried in a mass of frenzied feral shadow cats. Naruto performs some quick hand seals, and a massive number clones of Naruto materialize, then start to come to the assistance of the other shinobi, while the original Naruto continues to keep an eye on the fight between Shintaro and Sasuke, waiting to take advantage of an opportunity. Sasuke launches himself at Shintaro and strikes with his sword, only to be blocked by Shintaro’s ice blade sword, chipping only slightly on impact.

Shintaro:

You understand now… Your lightening will do you no good… not against me… nor your fire… Don’t you have any other tricks?… I have more tricks…

Shintaro swishes and flicks again, but this time a lot more ink comes out of his gourd, growing and forming into a giant black ink water dragon.

Shintaro:

Demon Ink… Shadow Mist Dragon!…

The ink water dragon then attacks Naruto’s main body, chasing him around Senju Park. As Naruto flees the ink dragon, Sasuke unleashes his Ameterasu against Shintaro, engulfing him with black flames.

Sasuke:

Ameterasu!…

Naruto:

Sasuke!…

As Shintaro is completely covered in black flames, the flames begin to inexplicably die down slightly, as he begins to emit a dark shadowy steam.

Shintaro:

The unquenchable black flames of the Ameterasu… Perhaps not so unquenchable… against my shadow mist style…

The black flames give way entirely to the emitting of black steam, from a now blackened figure of Shintaro. The blackened figure gradually regains his full vivid color as the steaming dies down to nothing. Shintaro swishes and flicks with his brush again.

Shintaro:

Demon Ink… Shadow Scorpions!…

Another mass of ink forms three giant black scorpions surrounding Sasuke, as Shintaro steps away.

Shintaro:

My Demon Ink creations are also immune… to both fire and lightening… So I hope for your sake… that you have a least a few more tricks up your sleeves… besides the shadow flame technique of the Ameterasu… and your new arms… Your welcome by the way…

Shintaro steps back as his scorpions engage Sasuke and puts his brush away, then pulls out a red heart-shaped triple chamber clay flute, known as an ocarina, from his messenger bag.

Shintaro:

How about a lovely little winter’s serenade… on this fine summer’s day?…

Shintaro raises his ocarina up to his lips and begins to play. As Shintaro plays, the snowfall picks up and a blizzard begins to blow again within Senju Park. The notes from Shintaro’s ocarina begin to blend with the sounds of the howling blizzard, now raging again within the park. The sounds all blend together, resonating with each other, amplifying each other, and the raging blizzard along with it, causing white out conditions throughout Senju Park. Sasuke continues to battle three ink scorpions, as an ink dragon continues to chase around Naruto, and swarms of ink cats continue to harass the nearby shinobi, and the numerous Naruto clones, causing many of the clones to be overwhelmed and go poof out of existence as a result. Shintaro manipulates the wind nature chakra within his ocarina, to artificially add his voice to the sounds of his ocarina, as more of his laughter echoes through the park and carries on throughout Konoha.

Shintaro:

How do you like my performance so far… Not bad for an impromptu gathering… Eh?… Grandson?…

Sasuke:

Performance?!?… You call this a performance?!?… And who the hell are you calling grandson?!?… Don’t spread lies about the Uchiha!!!… Any Uchiha!!!…

Shintaro:

Wow!… You sound cranky… But I must say… your are still doing quite well for yourself… considering this morning… My treatment seems to agree with you… or most of you at least… But you really should be resting… Eh?… One-Armed Bandit?… Or… perhaps now it should be just… Banditsan!… Banditkun?… Banditchan!…

Sasuke:

What do you know about what happened this morning?…

Shintaro:

I don’t know everything… But one thing I know for certain… is that what happened this morning… is nothing… It is trivial… compared to what is coming to Konoha… and to this planet!… The Otsutsuki Empire is not done with this planet… Not by a long shot… For now… they have only just taken notice of you trouble makers… This will only escalate from here… You have seen nothing yet!… And you have no idea what is coming for you!…

Sasuke:

They already came!… And they’re all dead now!… I helped see to it!…

Shintaro:

And that is why they took notice… If you think that… what happened at the chunin exams… is an example of the empire taking you seriously… then you are in for a radically rude awakening…

Sasuke:

If your so concerned about Konoha… then why attack?…

Shintaro:

I didn’t attack!… Those baca shinobi attacked me!… admittedly I was… shall we say… provocative… But I didn’t like their attitude… They seemed to believe… erroneously… that they had any kind of authority… that I should have any rational reason to give a crap about in the first place… So of course… I had to educate them… And apparently you and my nephew Naruto… are also in dire need of the same lesson… Baca shinobi will be baca shinobi after all I guess… always having to learn the hard way…

Naruto:

Then call them off!… If you want to talk… then call them off!… If you stop this now… before anyone gets seriously hurt… you have my word as the hokage… we will listen!…

Shintaro:

The promise of a hokage… any hokage… or any kage for that matter… means absolutely nothing to me!… Give me your word as my nephew… in the name of the Uzumaki Clan!… or don’t bother… If you do that… then I’ll know… that you understand that much at least!…

Naruto:

Hai!… I promise!… In the name of the Uzumaki Clan!… And in the name of my mother… Uzumaki Kushina!… I promise!…

The maw of the ink dragon closes in for a bite of the Hokage, as Sasuke is cornered by ink scorpions, and the nearby shinobi are buried in ink cats, with no more Naruto clones remaining, as Shintaro stops playing his ocarina and he holds his up his right hand in front of him.

Shintaro:

Very well then…

Shintaro snaps his fingers and a minor shock wave spreads out from his fingers, simultaneously undoing all of his various jutsu. So all at once, all the various ink cats, all the ink scorpions, as well as the ink dragon, and what’s left of the ink kraken already defeated by Kiba elsewhere, all disappear, ink and all. The Snow Globe Barrier seal over Konoha disappears as well, and the early evening moon shines down upon the former combatants.

Shintaro:

Well then… What now?… Eh?… Nephew?…

Naruto, Sasuke and the others begin to gather around the mad magician.

Naruto:

Look what you did… to Senju Park!…

Shintaro:

I can fix that… well mostly… in a manner of speaking…

Shintaro raises his ocarina to his lips again and begins to play. As Shintaro plays and the various shinobi gather closer around, random cherry blossom trees begin to spring up through, and displacing, the accumulated snow on the ground, and rapidly grow to maturity and bloom. As blooming Cherry Blossom trees begin to populate the park, as well as almost any available space within the park, water begins filling the various craters, and a large traditional wooden temple pagoda, with the crest of the Senju Clan carved in various places on it’s outer surface, springs up next to a small pond in the center of the park, where there was a large existing tree on a small island within the pond. Shintaro stops playing, leaving Senju Park permanently altered, arguably for the better.

Shintaro:

There you have it!… That’s better right?… A Senju Temple… in a Senju Woods… for a Senju Park…

Shintaro’s words trail off as he collapses unconscious from all of his various efforts, in the middle of the gathered, formerly combatant shinobi. Then bits of the surface of Shintaro’s body begin to rapidly peal away as bits and pieces of paper until there is nothing left of the mad magician.

Naruto:

Nani?!?… A paper clone?!?…

There Is No Alone!

Forever Never Ending!

There Is No Escape!

There Is No Point In Pretending!
