ALL NOVEL Ch218- What Gave You the Assumption That You Can Order Me?
Join my Discord!
Hello you all,
My Naruto fic is about to end, and I am happily announcing that my next fanfiction will be set in the Marvel universe. I had already published the pilot chapter before in previous fic Creati Hero: All-Father, if you can't find it, let me know.
Now that I announce this happy occasion, it is time for a question. At the moment, Marvel chapters are longer than my regular chapters, ranging from around 2.5k words to more than 4k words. I plan to publish 3 to 4 chapters a week, or would you prefer daily chapters with 1.3k to 1.5k words?
Please let me know.
Summary;
--
The group moved into a large hall within the Uzumaki village, where a detailed map of the shinobi world lay spread out on a massive table. Tobirama immediately started analyzing it, his mind working quickly to assess the current situation.
Hashirama, observing his brother, turned to the gathered shinobi. "We need to unite. The forces at play are beyond any single village's capabilities. We have to work together to uncover the true enemy behind these manipulations."
After Hashirama and Tobirama explained Black and White Zetsu to the others, Naruto and the group felt the weight of the enemy's threat. "The enemy used Amaterasu. I only know Uchiha Izuna who used it, but it can't be him," Tobirama said, tapping his arm. "Could it be some other means?"
Kakashi, ever observant, added, "Can it be another Mangekyo Sharingan? This technique isn't something just anyone can wield."
Obito, feeling the tension in the air, interjected, "The Sharingan has been manipulated before. If someone found a way to implant it, they could use its abilities without being an Uchiha."
Naruto clenched his fists, his mind racing. "Then we need to figure out who's behind this and stop them before more damage is done."
The room fell into a contemplative silence, each shinobi pondering the implications. Suddenly, a swirl of energy disrupted their thoughts, and Horyu appeared in the hall, his entrance seamless and almost undetectable.
Mito, recognizing him instantly, smiled. Tobirama's eyes narrowed, feeling the familiar energy of the jutsu. "Flying Thunder God Jutsu!"
Kakashi, Naruto, Himawari, Obito, and Rin were equally shocked. This was the Fourth Hokage's technique. Tobirama, intrigued and somewhat impressed, asked, "How can you enter here directly? Even I couldn't."
Horyu, scanning the room with a calm, assessing gaze, met Tobirama's eyes. "Easy. I upgraded your Jutsu."
The surprise in the room was palpable. Tobirama's frown deepened, but there was a glint of curiosity in his eyes. "Upgraded? Explain."
"What gave you the idea that you can order me?" Horyu said calmly, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. He stood before Mito, his presence commanding. "Mito-sama," he greeted her respectfully.
Mito nodded with a smile. "Just in time, Horyu."
Tobirama's eyes narrowed, scrutinizing Horyu. "You have a lot of nerve," he muttered. His distrust was palpable, but he held back from pressing further, sensing the urgency of the situation.
Hashirama, sensing the rising tension, intervened. "Now is not the time for infighting. We have more pressing matters to address," he said firmly. He turned to Horyu, "What news do you bring?"
Horyu looked at Hashirama and smiled. "Of course, the identity of the true enemy." Everyone was taken aback by hearing this. At that moment, they all wanted to learn the name of the true enemy to plan how to proceed.
"Who cast those black flames?" Tobirama demanded, his voice cutting through the tension.
Horyu turned to Mito. "Mito-sama, take a seat, please." He led her to her seat and then waited for others to sit down as well. When Naruto and Himawari were looking at him with curiosity and concern, he sighed and said, "The name of the enemy is Namikaze Hirato."
The name caused a ripple in the room. Naruto got up abruptly. "Impossible!" he exclaimed, while Himawari's hand went to her mouth. "Brother," she gasped. Mito and Tsunade squinted, realizing the implications. Hirato, as Kushina's son, like Naruto and Himawari, was half Uzumaki.
Hashirama frowned. "A Namikaze and half Uzumaki using Sharingan and Amaterasu? How is that possible?"
Horyu shook his head and explained, "Hirato Namikaze, son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, was kidnapped when he was nine years old during the battle between Minato and Uchiha Fugaku. That battle was instigated by none other than Shisui Uchiha. Hirato was taken by Black Zetsu and then delivered to Madara Uchiha."
Hearing the name, Hashirama took a step forward, his voice filled with disbelief. "Madara? That's not possible. Madara died."
Horyu looked at Hashirama and nodded, "He did." Hashirama sighed in relief, assuming someone was using Madara's name, but Horyu's next words shocked him once again, "But not in Valley of the End where you two fought. In that battle, Madara's goal was to steal your genes, which he achieved. Then adding it to his own body, he awakened the Legendary Rinnegan. He lived many years after that, long enough to find Hirato and pass down his will, goals, hopes, and eyes five years ago."
The room fell silent, the weight of Horyu's revelation hanging heavy in the air. Hashirama's expression turned from relief to a mix of anger and determination. "Madara lived? And he... passed on his powers?"
"Yes," Horyu confirmed. "Madara manipulated Hirato, giving him the Rinnegan and instilling his own ambitions. Hirato now possesses Madara's eyes and his twisted vision for the future."
Tsunade's fists clenched, her anger palpable. "So Hirato is the one behind the recent chaos. He's the one who kidnapped the Jinchuriki and attacked the villages."
Horyu nodded. "Not really. Black Zetsu is the one who is manipulating everyone, including Madara. He's been orchestrating everything from the shadows, using the power Madara gave Hirato to sow discord and manipulate events to his advantage."
Naruto, still processing the shock, looked at Horyu with a mix of disbelief and anger. "But why is Hirato following them? What does he hope to gain from all this?"
Horyu sighed, his gaze somber as he began to explain. "Hirato lost everything. His family, brother, sister, mother, father, village, friends—everything. You two had each other, Naruto. Although you lost your parents and your village, you still had each other. He was all alone. In that loneliness, it was Madara and Zetsu who were there for him. They kept him company, made him stronger, but they also filled his head with distorted ideals and thoughts of revenge against Konoha and, by extension, the whole world."
The room was silent, the weight of Horyu's words sinking in. Tobirama's eyes narrowed as he considered the implications. "You said Zetsu is even manipulating Madara? What does that mean?"
Horyu nodded, taking a deep breath. "Zetsu isn't just a servant of Madara. He has his own agenda. Madara, in his later years, was influenced heavily by Zetsu. This being isn't just a person; he's a manifestation of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's will. His goal is to resurrect Kaguya and plunge the world into chaos. Madara was just a pawn, and now Hirato has become another."
Hashirama clenched his fists, the revelation unsettling him deeply. "Madara... he was always driven, but I never thought he would be manipulated so thoroughly."
Naruto's face was a mix of anger and sorrow. "So, he's being used just like Madara was?"
Horyu shook his head, addressing the gathered shinobi. "Madara was not a weak-willed shinobi. He had his own plans and ambitions. Hirato is different. He is driven by revenge and hatred, which makes him more dangerous than Madara. He also seems to be able to use Madara's eyes as if they were his own. Normally, that should be impossible with implanted eyes."
Tobirama nodded thoughtfully. "That explains Amaterasu. After Madara took Izuna's eyes, his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan had the abilities of both his and his brother's eyes. Now Hirato has inherited that power. But the Rinnegan? Are those eyes real?"
Horyu's expression was grave. "Yes, the Rinnegan he wields is genuine. Madara managed to awaken the Rinnegan in his final years by combining his own cells with those of the First Hokage. He passed them on to Hirato, along with his twisted ambitions. Hirato now uses both the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and the Rinnegan, making him a formidable adversary."
Naruto's fists clenched, his eyes filled with determination and sorrow. "So my brother has become the very thing we were fighting against. We need to stop him, but... he's family."
Mito placed a reassuring hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Family is important, Naruto, but we cannot let one person's anger destroy everything we've worked for. We need to save him from his own darkness."
Tobirama looked at Horyu with suspicion. "How do you know all this? I also remember you had the ability to use Black Flames as well."
Horyu smirked, his demeanor calm and unflinching. "Comparing my Black Flames to Amaterasu, which even the First Hokage can't extinguish, flatters me." His tone was almost mocking, yet matter-of-fact.
Tobirama squinted but felt it made sense. When they were summoned by Orochimaru, he and Hashirama had seen Horyu's black flames in Demon of Flames mode. Those flames, although powerful, were not even close to Amaterasu. He nodded slightly, accepting the explanation.
