The True Master Mind

Chaos, it was absolute chaos. shinobi were fighting and I simply looked at things before turning around and walking home. I had no interest in any of this, so I simply went home, where later that day Naruto came home and told me everything. which I pretty much guessed, so I wasn't shocked. the 3rd hokage died, and many other people died. Orochimaru ran away but his hands were sealed, so he couldn't use jutsu which needed hand seals,

Naruto was injured, after all, he had to fight Gaara. To break through Gaara's shield, he broke his hands, and the injuries only added on as he ran after Gaara to stop him. he would have lost, if not for Sasuke helping him out, allowing them to take down Gaara.

the funeral was held 2 days later, but a hokage was needed so Jiraiya set off to go see if Tsunade wanted to become the hokage. Naruto on the other hand was quiet for some time, he was lost in his world, so I decided to teach him a jutsu called the Rasengan. it was created by Minato, after seeing the Tail Beast bomb.

So, a few days passed. it took a few months, but Jiraiya returned and was forced to sit as the hokage. Tsunade turned it down, and in the end, Jiraiya even clashed with Orochimaru, after all, Orochimaru needed Tsunade to heal his hands. even without his hands, Orochimaru was powerful, lucklyy Tsunade got over her trauma of blood when she saw the causion of her lover about to die. forcing her to jump to protect her.

Although she had regained her strength, she agreed to return to the village but refused to be Hokage. but Orochimaru continued to make moves, just a few days later a few sound shinobi came to get Sasuke and Naruto,

Sasuke refused, but Naruto on the other hand left with them shocking everyone in the village. I could have stopped him, but I didn't. Jiraiyal formed a team to go capture Naruto, but since all of the elite shinobi were away, Sasuke and a few other genin were set to go get their former allie... but unlike the anime, only 3 people had a connection to Naruto. Sasuke, Shikamaru, and a fat kid named Choji.

In the end, Sasuke and Naruto fought. Sasuke awakened the full powers of the sharingan during the battle and even used the power of the curse mark. Naruto drew on my power, 1 tail worth, and even the curse mark and he defeated Sasuke. after which, he left...

"Understand, just wait. Great changes are to come in this world, but once we are free I want to know what would you do with that freedom?" I asked with a smile while looking at all of the tail beasts,

"The last time I checked, you failed with Mito. Why should we believe you now?" Shukaku asked with an annoyed look.

"Because this time I'm free... and I even guess who the masked man is. Minato had 3 students, Kakashi was one of them. the other was someone called Obito. it took time to connect the dots, I was truly caught off guard. I never expected anything like it." I said surprising all of them

"Madara is a schemer... well, I should explain. How does a Uchiha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?" I asked with a smirk,

"Through great loss... after feeling great pain, that pain leads to them awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan." Matatabi a beautiful blue-haired woman said softly, she was the two tails.

"indeed... Obito was a bright kid, a kid as bright as the stars." I said with a smile while remembering Naruto in the anime. Obito and Naruto from the anime were like perfect copies,

"Once someone so bright feels unmatched pain, what do we have? Isobu you told me how Kakashi killed the 3rd teammate before Kakashi awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, but only a Uchiha can do something like that. That means Obito should have been somewhere, near Kakashi for him to see her death. while he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito should have been around at the times... Madara saved Obito, he planned for his so-called defeat, and planned for their 3rd teammate to die, all while Obito watched. Since Obito was in love with him, this should have crushed them, and with a few words from Madara he would have become an easy puppet." I said with a smile,

"As for Madara rinnegan, there is someone in the Akatsuki called Pain, he is the so-called leader. Obito should be controlling things from the shadow, the mastermind behind everything. The fact he has a mask only makes me sure that it's Obito, the guy had his world rocked." I said while covering my face, it took me too long to realize this. Obito died as a rock crushed half of his face, at his dying birth he gave Kakashi his eye. I knew this as I was there when Minato told Kushina, we all thought Obito had died.

"So... how do they know of our location at all times?" Choumei a green-haired girl with bug wings asked while looking at me with a deep frown. she was the 7 tails

"thats the tricky part, and this is where I had to say... My favorite human is Itachi Uchiha. It's funny right, The clan I hate so much turned out to be the clan that helped me understand this troublesome matter... Black Zetsu is the person who has been locating me. he is the guy who has been spying on us, keeping tabs on our locations. Since it could come off as a tree, I never noticed it, it bland in so well with my surroundings and kept far away from me, just enough so I never sensed it. My weakness? it's it that told Madara and Obito, during war or when I was training, it saw it all... since I knew who my target was, I'm able to sense him now. the bastard is spying on me as we speak. but a is a few km away. to sense me, and spy on me from so far away." I said with narrowed eyes

"This goes to my next topic, Black Zetsu isn't normal. what do I mean you ask? it's the main reason I called you all here. Well, it's faint, but he reminds me of the 10 tails." I said stunning everyone who looked at me.

"I have reason to believe, that Black Zetsu has been locating the reincarnation of the sage of six paths children. what do I mean you ask? Madara's knowledge of awakening the rinnegan, Madara's knowledge of my locations, and how the past reincarnations of those two seemed to fight. Someone has to be pushing it, who knows, he might have been the one to start it." I said through gritted teeth, the rage clear to the others

"Wait, why would Itachi help up?" Gyuuki asked with a frown, to which a shrugged slightly,

"He was pushed into a corner. in simple terms, he had to choose his clan or the village. In the end, to avoid starting another war, he chooses to slaughter his clan and take the role of a villain." I said calmly, stunning them slightly

"Now, any guess as to what Black Zetsu's goal could be?" I asked calmly, to which everyone looked at each other. none of them were bombs, while Son Goku stood out, but they all had the same thought at that moment

"Restore the 10 tails?" Gyuuki asked softly, this which I nodded slightly. stunning all of them,

"In other words, I believe he wants to bring back the sage of six paths Mother, I don't know why, or do I care. but we now know our enemy and understand their goals. to think I was so unease over a puppet... Black Zetsu... if I don't make it pay." I said as hints of my true form appeared, revealing just how enraged I was,

"I will have my son aim to control the Akatsuki. I will have Naruto be the one to bring forth this new world, so have your host move to support him. I will deal with Pain, and make sure the rinnegan is gone. Without it, the shell of the 10 tails would be left nothing more than a weapon without an owner." I said to which all of them nodded, they all knew of my son. how could I not show off before all of them? I wasn't a bad guy, I just hated humans.

"Get ready to enjoy true freedom after.... 56 years... damn does it feel like a thousand years," I said with a sigh, everyone had excitement in their eyes. they of course couldn't wait for freedom... all but one of them whose eyes flashed with a different light.
