-----NO ONE'S POV-----
The sky suddenly turned black causing everyone to stop and look up.
"Its night again?"
"Eclipse?"
They all had their guesses but the only thing that was present in the sky was half of the moon.
"Somethings not right.." (y/n) trailed off
"What's going on? Its supposed to be morning isn't it?" Melissa held on to her father.
"Its supposed to be." Jiro said looking through her phone.
"Hand her over quickly and quietly." A voice demanded.
They all turned and saw, up on one of the giant debris was a familiar raven haired male.
"You.." Bakugou growled.
Behind him were three other people, two males and a red haired female.
"Sasuke.."
"There's no fucking way were handing anyone over!" Bakugou glared. Everyone else stood their ground staring back at the Uchiha.
A silver haired male scratched his head and sighed in annoyance. "C'mon dude. Just give us what we want and we'll be gone in no time flat." He gave them a toothy grin showing off his sharp teeth. "What do you say?"
(Y/n) shot Sasuke and his friends a look.
"I say no damn way."
"Kacchan's right. If you want (y/n) you'll have to go through us."
"Yeah bring it!" Kirishima hardened his arms.
"Why must they protect her?" The big one with orange hair at the back asked.
"Something gotta do with relations.." the one with silver hair said.
"Stop!" (Y/n) stood in between them the looked up at Sasuke. "What are you doing here? Did you plan all this?" She called out to him after a few seconds of silence.
"Itachi..." He started successfully catching her attention.
She tightened her jaw, tense knowing fully well that he killed Itachi. "What about Itachi? You killed him didn't you?"
"That was before-"
"Before what?" She raised her voice.
"Before i learned the truth." (Y/n) scanned his eyes for any hint of truth or lies. "Ill tell you the truth about everything. About Itachi."
(Im sorry of this isnt accurate like the series but im just copy and pasting lines and stories in the show)
"Itachi grew up during war, and when the we were moved to the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village, the clan was planning a coup d'état, in order to regain their once had power by using you."
(Y/n)'s eyebrows furrowed and she shook her head in disbelief.
"He rose through the ranks and became a spy for the leaf. Since Itachi was a double agent for the clan and the Leaf, our elders and The third Hokage asked Itachi to slaughter the entire clan."
"All.. except you... He loved the village but loved you more than anything..." She trailed off then a look of confusion washed over her face when she she heard Lord Sarutobi had a hand to play.
"Since Itachi didn’t want a war, he carried out the mission, became a rogue ninja, and took all of the hatred placed on him. He joined the Akatsuki to keep them at bay, even after he was branded a rogue ninja." He paused. "When he and i fought, Itachi made it seem that he really wanted to kill me and take my eyes for the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan." His eyes changed in to the familiar red but it wasn't like she remembered it. This one was new on Sasuke. It belonged to Itachi.
"Don't look at his eyes!" She warned her friends. Immediately they turned away looking elsewhere, anywhere but his eyes. "Its how they'll get you in an illusion."
"But in all reality he wanted me to win..."
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Her fists clenched keeping her head down shaking after what she had just heard.
"Because we are the only ones who were close to Itachi and you... You never turned your back on him."
"What do you want?!" She held her head as it throbbed and groaned in pain.
"Join me."
"What?" She looked up at him taking a step closer.
"We'll straighten the Leaf and avenge Itachi of their wrong doing. All these years they they threw all their problems and expect him to fix it."
"So what? You'll destroy the hidden leaf?!" She demanded waiting for his answer. He only stared back but even just by his look, she knew what he had planned. She shook her head and looked back glaring at Sasuke.
"And what if i refuse?"
None of them spoke but the three at the back furrowed their eyebrows. One reached for the sword strapped to his back. The other reached into her pocket and lastly he gripped on to his cloak.
To be attacked right after the fight. They couldn't do anything else but huddle and protect eachother for a fight that they anticipated would come.
(Y/n) chuckled finally understanding her situation. "So send in the other guy to wear me out then come in." She shook her head. "Revenge wont do you anything good. That life is dark and lonely and you will never get off it... And that pit in your stomach?... It will never be filled."
"So you expect me to live blindly and carry on after what happened?"
"No! You probably want to tear and destroy the village apart and then burn it to the ground and honestly? I don't blame you... What im saying is theres a better way to solve this!"
"Itachi deserves to be avenged after what the leaf did!"
"Itachi deserves peace! Don't you think after what he's been through he deserves to be put at peace? And it's not just that. There are children being born in that village everyday! Innocent children who know nothing about what foundation and about what happened."
The two argued on and on. Who's right, who's wrong, shoulds and shouldn'ts. Just by listening they could tell this was something personal to both of them.
"They all deserved to be punished." Sasuke's grip on his sword tightened.
"Itachi risked his life to save the village he loved!" She continued to reason.
"The very same village that threw away his sacrifice and branded him as a rogue ninja."
"He knew what he was getting into! It was a risk he was willing to take!... You wouldn't know... You haven't loved something so much that you'll throw your life on the line to protect it."
"Enough!" He yelled drawing out his sword. "I wont let you get into my head."
Everyone drew out their weapons and used their quirks but a voice stopped them.
"Fighting so early?" From behind Sasuke a man walked to the side seemingly appearing from thin air and stood beside him. He wore the familiar black cloak with red clouds and a noticeably bright orange mask with one hole for the eye. "Come now.. I thought you said-"
"I know what i said." He cut him off.
"You're with them? Them of all people?!"
"(Y/n) Uzumaki." The Masked man greeted.
"(Y/n) that the guy in camino ward i told you about." Midoriya warned. She looked back up at the unknown man.
"I know you want whatever it is inside me and im not going to let you take it." She glared at the masked man holding her abdomen where the seal should be.
"Maybe... But you're much too important to be sealed away along with the rest of the tailed beasts."
"So what? You're planning to recruit me?" She scoffed.
"More or less..."
"Just who do you think you are?!"
The man reached up to his mask and pulled it down slightly, just enough to see what was behind that eerie hole on his mask.
"No way... It cant be... Your eyes... You're from the Uchiha clan too?" He placed his mask back and stared down at her. "Just who are you?!"
"I am a ghost of an Uchiha... Madara Uchiha."
(Y/n)'s strength left her leaving her shaking. "But Madara died! A-ages ago!" She took a few steps back. Hearing that he was still alive was one thing but believing his words was an entirely different case.
"I suppose i am a relic of the past."
"(Y/n) just who is that guy?" Kaminari whispered finally out of his 'yay' state.
"If he is who he says he is then it's nothing good. Madara and The first Hokage created the village. Two of the strongest shinobi ever known. Everyone knows who they are." She turned back.
"What do you want from me?"
"We are going to break the cycle of cause and effect. Create a world with only victors... with only peace... With only love. A perfect world where you can do whatever you want and live with the ones you've lost... Isnt that what your dear Master Jiraiya wanted?"
They stayed there in thought. His words were tempting. They stayed quiet waiting for (y/n) to talk, ready to back her up if it ever comes to it. All might could have escorted Dave and Melissa back but leaving the kids were out of the question. Especially when they were faced with an unknown foe. If (y/n) was shaking then shouldn't they too?
But then again it could have been because of her weakened state.
"That is nothing but an illusion of lies! There are other ways to deal with that sort of stuff!" His stare. His red eyed seemingly glowed in the dark made her stop.
(✌️)
"Wake up to reality. Nothing goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live the more you will realize that the only things that truly exists in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Listen... Wherever you look in this world, wherever there is light there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates wars and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses casual realtionships that cannot be separated but in the perfect world i will create will have nothing but people's dreams come true."
She lowered her head in thought before looking back up to the older Uchiha.
"The 'perfect world' you said?... I have to tell you the honest truth, as i see it. In this world nothing perfect exists. It may be a cliche after all... But it's the way things are. That's exactly why people persue the concept of perfection... It's infatuation. Ive asked myself 'what is the true meaning of being perfect?' and the answer i came up with was: Nothing. Not. One. Thing. Having thought about it over and over now, i realized, i despise perfection. If something is truly perfect, that's it! The bottom line becomes. There is no room for imagination! Or ability! Or improvement!.. Do you understand? To people like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hoplessness! Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect.... Its the kind of creatures we are. We take joy in trying to exceed our grasps and trying to reach for something that, we have to admit, may in fact be unreachable! It is why a 'Perfect Utopia' would be an absolute nightmare to live in... As for Master Jiraiya's wishes... I cannot deny that what he wanted was peace... But your version of peace ends all creation."
Madara hummed creating tension in the air.
"I respect that. I truly do.... But my cause is far to great to be stopped by the likes of you." He glanced at Sasuke. "One out of two will have to do it..."
"Oh yeah now were talking." Suigetsu pulled out his sword and rested it on his shoulder. Jugo on the other hand too off his cloak and cracked his knuckles.
"I don't care what happens. (Y/n) is mine. Dont get in my way." He warned them.
"Im sorry i got you guys into this." She crouched and revealed a paper stuck on the skin on thigh hidden by her skirt. He hand levitated on the paper and a sword popped out of nowhere.
She noticed her hand was slowly healing itself, the burns that she once had was now gone. Even her strength was replenished with out her having to do anything about it. She furrowed her brows for a few seconds trying to think where the heeling and strength boost came from.
"They planned an attack here. This is our fight too." Todoroki answered back pulling her out of her thoughts.
"Right!" The others nodded along with a shaking terrified Mineta.
"(Y/n)..." Gray approached her and motioned at her sword.
"I might have to do it... We know what his plan is... And i cant have him do that." She gripped on the sword and let out a shaky breath.
"Do what?" All Might asked. She stared back at him. He knew fully well what she meant but there was no way she was going to say it out loud otherwise she would back out from doing so. "Are you prepared?" He asked again.
"No... But someone's gonna have to."
