UCHIHA (1)!!!

In a dimly lit room in a certain underground facility, multiple seals where decorated around the four corners of the facility. Only the occasional creaking sound of broken and rusted metal could be heard. It would already be confirmed that this facility has been 'abandoned'. However this was not the case at all!

Tap….Tap….Tap….

With a crisp sound of something hitting the ground, and light footsteps, a man with half his body wrapped in bandages walked calmly towards the exit. However before he could reach the exit, a shocking distortion appeared three metres away from him. He abrupbtly stopped moving and scanned the spacial distortion with caution.

Three seconds later, a man wearing an orange whirlpool mask, with a space for only one eye,doning a unique black cloak designed with red clouds was seemingly 'extracted' from the distortion in space.

"Danzo-dono!! Long time no see! I missed you very much!!" The masked individual was clearly very enthusiastic in meeting an old 'friend'. He was visibly excited, if only there was no mask then he's facial expression would be solid proof. The masked man was so excited that he ran towards the bandaged man; who is known as Danzo of the Root, with outstretched hands ready for a warm hug!

Danzo's lips twitched violently a few times before he quickly formed hand seals with his one hand.

"Great Fireball Jutsu!" A violent flame was exhaled from Danzo's mouth, rushing towards the 'hug' from the Masked man.

However, a bizarre event transpired, as the Masked man confidently continued on his way. As if fully embracing the 'fire'.

Strangely, as the fireball and the masked man approached 'themselves', the Fireball Jutsu just passed through the masked man as if he was just an illusion.

The Masked man didn't stop, as if hell bent on hugging his friend that is running away from him. Danzo who saw this, quickly jumped away from the Masked Man.

"Madara! If you dare continue your theatrics I'll just leave right now!" Danzo bellowed angrily.

"Mooahh!! Your not the fun at all! You obviously want a hug from me. Wait could it be…" Madara closed his mouth that was already covered by his masks, as if he had discovered a monumental secret. Danzo's expression couldn't help but darken as he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Madara didn't waste much time before… "Could it be….that you are afraid that you wont be able to hug me because of your…." Madara abruptly stopped what he was saying after looking at Danzo who had turned red.

'Sure enough! Nothing good happens with the Uchiha!! Evil Uchiha!!' Clearly he was referring to his bandaged arm. Suddenly, Danzo had the urge to punch something...no someone!! Danzo's intense anger solidified his resolution to utterly destroy this evil clan.

As for the self proclaimed 'Madara' in his front, Danzo viewed him in disdain. With Uchiha Madara's immense pride and undeniable strength, he'll never resort to shameless methods as this guy did. What 'Ive been weakened by Hashirama?' The real Madara's already happy in the pure land!

If it were really Uchiha Madara then he'll just annihilate whatever was in his way! Therefore Danzo never believed this mysterious Uchiha to be Madara! He was no fool!

'I'll let you parade around for now! Once Im done with the Uchiha Clan, your next!' Silently declaring in his heart, Danzo clentched his only fist silently.

"Haaa…Who knew that you were a Tsundere!! You know…." Taking a pause, Madara seemed to be in deep thought before he continued. "Its rare to see a Ninja who's Tsundere! As expected of the legendary Danzo-dono!"

"Hooohhh!!" Taking a deep breath, Danzo looked at Uchiha Madara deeply before walking away. He didn't have the heart and patience to deal with this peson. How he wished he could grap this bastards head and shove it to the ground! Sadly it wont be possible for now.

"Are you ready?" Suddenly a voice devoid of emotion resounded in the dimly lit underground basement. It was suprising that this Uchiha Madara could transition from playfulness to seriousness is a heartbeat. Hearing this voice, Danzo paused…

"We will be taking down Shishui for our plan to succeed. Come in 2 days!" Danzo spoke in a hoarse tone. There was a subsequent silence that ensued between them.

"Bwahaha!!!" There was an abrupt laughter that echoed from Uchiha Madara. "Danzo-dono, you don't expect me to fight Shishui with you do you?" Uchiha Madara's voice was laced with disdain and ridicule. Did Danzo think he could pull him into this dark quagmire? Impossible, with how cautious he is, its not possible for him to fight Shisui. Even if he could really could ignore all attacks and could roam uncontested in the Shinobi world, he dared not face the Kotoatmatsukami!

This could not be avoided even with his Mangyekou Technique, Danzo, lets see your performance, I'm really looking forward to it!! Uchiha Madara slowly calculated.

Danzo didn't reply before resuming his walk. He already knew that this Uchiha was afraid of Shishui's Koto-Amatsukami and didn't dare face Uchiha Shisui head on, he just said that to fulfil all righteousness. The real Uchiha Madara won't fear anyone in the Ninja World!!

As for him? He was indeed scared of the Koto-Amatsukami, however with his trump card he didn't fear it anymore!!

As Danzo's silhouette gradually disappeared from the basement, Uchiha Madara's eye shone red before gradually disappearing into the spacial distortion,leaving the basement in eerie silence.

Rematerializing on top of a branch of tree, Uchiha Madara looked at the clear sky in deep thought. Unknowingly, a strange creature had already appeared beside him waering the classic Akatsuki outfit. With a Venus Fly Trap covering on its head,half white and half black face, the unique Black Zetsu made his presence known.

"Do you really want to destroy the Uchiha clan?" Black Zetsu asked softly.

"Mmhm…They have to die, there will be too many variables if left alive! I don't want any disruption to the plan!" Madara explained with chilling killing intent and resolve. He knew better than anyone else the abnormality of the Uchiha clan.

Just look at the terrifying techniques that he and Shisui awakened. Who knows whether another Uchiha will appear with the power to threaten him? He cannot take such a gamble!

Black Zetsu who knew this couldn't help but feel a pang of pain that came and went quickly. In fact, Black Zetsu had already developed a some what love-hate relationship with the Uchiha's as he has been with them for almost a thousand years so its normal that he'll feel reluctant.

However, he couldn't bend because of some superficial bond. His mother was waiting for him so he won't hesitate to sacrifice the entire world inorder to see her return!

"I see! Do you plan to take their eyes with you, or would you leave it to Danzo?"

"I don't know….I'll follow the status quo…"

With that, Madara went silent. He meant that, if the situation was right, then he'll take them if not…..

With a spinning whirlpool, Madara once again disappeared, followed by Black Zetsu who seamlessly fazed through the tree and disappeared. This is the May-Fly Technique unique only to the White Zetsu. It could allow them to pass through both earth, wood and water to achieve movement. It could be used for Reconnaissance, Assassination, Running Away and Spying. Apart from Madara's Mangyekou technique this was the most versatile technique any ninja would die for.

...…..

Danzo who had returned to the Shimuru Clan, slowly sat down at the Patriarch seat and gazed upwards.

'Its almost time…. Should he come?' Danzo abruptly thought about his current greatest asset, Hyuga Akihiko, on one hand he wanted him to experience the horror of the Mangyekou so that he could overcome any fear, however, on the other hand he didn't want to lose such a vital seed to Shisui's hand. He could lose all his Root Members but he absolutely could not lose Akihiko. New Root Members could be gained after all, but Geniuses like him with Kage level potential are too rare.

'Its possible that, if Akihiko grows well, then reaching Hatake Sakumo's level of strength is not impossible!' This was not a joke because, the amount of Chakra that that boy has, has already surpassed the Elite Jonin level and is still growing! With his terrifying combat awareness and the harnessing of Nature transformation, he could fight head on with 3 elite Jonins and 2 Jonins.

This is not accounting the fact that, he never utilized the Byakugan and their Techniques during the battle. This proves that he could hold his own even against Kage Level Powerhouses. Danzo, classified this level of strength under the likes of the Seven Sword Ninja Of The Mist! However this was when he was not using the Byakugan and it's techniques. This means that once Akihiko actually goes all out, he will have Kage level strength!!

Opening a sealed scroll in his hands, Danzo looked at the markings intently. He sighed before putting it away.

Flying Thunder-God Jutsu!! Forbidden S-rank Ninjutsu!

This were the descriptions of the scroll. Danzo was uncertain to give Akihiko this Ninjutsu since it was called forbidden for a reason. If someone who's body and concentration is not strong enough uses this ninjutsu, a part of their bodies could be left in a space node, some leading to a swift death. Even if one has the sufficient concentration, if the body is not sturdy enough, the burden of spacial travel could potentially destroy one's body.

He didn't want this to happen to his prized jewel so he decided to wait till, Akihiko grew stronger before giving it to him! In the mean time he'll gather the other S-rank ninjutsu and give him.

It's seems that I, Shimura Danzo would cultivate a God of Shinobi or a Professor...

Hiruzen you are old!!

Letting out a chuckle of anticipation, Danzo smiled at the prospect.

The servants and ninjas lurking in the Hall were perplexed and shocked when they saw the normally joyless Patriarch suddenly smile. It was the first in a very long time!!
