The Tale Of Saratobo Uramaka.

Prologue

The sound of explosions filled the air, as the people of the Senju village continued to fight.

"Quick, Sensei, what's the status? How are we looking in the front line?"

"Well Ashura, our soldiers are fighting bravely, but our people can only hold off so much. The warriors from the east and south villages are pushing hard. I don't know why Lord Hiruzen would tick them off this much." sensei Seto replied calmly.

"Damnit Seto, I don't get it, this isn't even our battle, where the hell is he?!"

"Well, if you have forgotten, his child is being born today, I'm sure he's just a few minutes late."

"It's been 12 hours. You're telling me our leader can't miss his son's birth over our village's safety?!"

"No need to get desperate. Have you forgotten, I am trying to recover to continue using Ying Yang energy. After all Ashura, you forget that I can sense Hiruzen's energy, and I can guarantee you he's on his way."

Meanwhile, inside the Senju village, a more peaceful environment. People are walking around calmly, having their regular day. Nobody is aware of what's going on, miles away from their village, except for one man...

"He's, beautiful, just like you." Hiruzen said quietly while holding his newborn child.

"Yes, he's quite the big baby," replied his wife, "and I wonder if he'll grow up to be bigger than you!"

"Hey, Sakura, calm down, you just gave birth. I need you to conserve your energy," Hiruzen replied with worry, "after all, we don't know how much of a toll this baby took on you."

"Oh relax, just because you come from blessed blood does not mean I can't take a punch, see? I can still walk-"

"Sakura sit down!" quickly Hiruzen caught his wife before she stumbled over.

"Okay, maybe I do need a day or two to rest, speaking of rest, aren't you-"

Suddenly, a soldier barges in rapidly and exclaims, "LORD HIRUZEN-"

"I TOLD THE GUARD OUTSIDE TO NOT LET ANYBODY IN, CAN'T YOU SEE MY WIFE-"

Just as Hiruzen replies in frustration, his baby begins to cry. Annoyed, Hiruzen hands his newborn child over to Sakura, "what is it? What's going on?"

"I apologize my lord, it's just that, our forces are being pushed back. The people from Karakoro and Shibuya are pushing hard. We're using semi-trained warriors at this point. We don't know how much longer we can hold them off!" replied the soldier.

"I see, what about the warriors from Agarath, Kiso, and Windu?" replied Hiruzen hastily.

"Well, they've been pushing against our forces too, but they haven't done much. It's almost like they're waiting. I'm not sure why, but they're just waiting. As far as we know they're right outside the battlefield. I can't guarantee."

Hiruzen releases a deep sigh, "Very well then, I guess it's time for me to go-"

"It's okay honey, I'll name the kid, and handle the rest. I'll be fine."

"Are you sure? Remember, I want to name him after my great grandfather. Saratobo, perfect for the future of the Uramaka clan!"

"Don't worry, I'll name him that, and we will be all be okay! Just be safe, don't die now!" Sakura replied with lots of empathy

"Okay sir, now if you just follow me..." said the solider as he turned around, but by the time he turned around again, Hiruzen was gone.

Hiruzen quickly dispatched to the battlefield, using an ability he copied from the Kiso village, flash step. Hiruzen lives in the 1 of the 6 great villages. Karakoro, Shibuya, Agarath, Windu, Kiso, and Senju are all the great villages, each gifted a special technique to a specific clan. The Hitsuya clan in Karakoro village were gifted the ability of water energy. Shibuya has the gift of fire energy with the Wamai clan holding that title. Agarath has the Ikamaku clan with stone energy. Windu holds wind energy with the Kenpachi clan possessing it. And lastly, the Kiso village has the Lunai clan, with lightning energy. Each village received their gift a long time ago, each battling to determine who's the strongest. There was no balance, until one day, a man was born. He possessed half deity energy. That means he possessed a little of everything. Under the right training, and control, that person could master all the energies and even control their deity technique. The Uramaka clan was blessed with that gift. Through each generation of the Uramaka clan, each offspring receives a new ability that's passed on to the next generation whilst getting a new one. Hiruzen, for example, retained the last 7 generation's powers, plus his own unique. His unique was named, "Copy", as his ability granted him to quickly learn any ability or technique with just a quick view. That explains how he managed to learn the Flash Step from Lunai clan so quickly, one of their most difficult techniques to master. It also helped that Hiruzen was a prodigy. At such a young age, Hiruzen had mastered all 5 energies, and had even discovered a new technique that nobody in his ancestry had unlocked: 5 Paths Of Nature. Hiruzen was approaching the battlefield...

"He's here..."said Seto in a very calm voice, "no need to worry now Ashura."

"About time. EVERYONE, HOLD YOUR POSITION, LORD HIRUZEN HAS ARRIVED!"

Hiruzen with no hesitation suddenly appeared in front of Seto and general Ashura, "What's the situation? Sensei Seto, it's very nice to see you again, I feel you've regained some of your energy back."

Sensei Seto was special. He comes from a special clan known as the Urahara clan. They are well known as respected across all the villages due to their incredible intelligence as well as their use of a unique type of energy, the Ying Yang energy. It's said that the Urahara clan successfully balanced inner peace and hatred within themselves, causing them to discover a new type of energy, and has been passed through generations, "its good to see you as well my lord."

"L-Lord Hiruzen, it's an honor to have-"

"Save it commander," Hiruzen replied while chuckling, "what's the situation?"

"Well my lord, at the moment only the people of Karakoro and Shibuya are pushing hard. Based of the information some of the scouts on the outskirts, we believe the other villages are planning some kind of surprise attack when things settle down. Our forces at the moment are most vulnerable. You did keep most of our best samurai and ninja back the village." replied Ashura with worry. Ashura was no regular samurai. He was a bit taller than the usual person with a more muscular build. However, despite his size, what made him very formidable was his incredible speed.

"I see, well then, it looks like we're going to have to strike first. Sato, Ashura, take a small group each, make sure the perimeter is safe. Have everyone else follow behind your groups in order to support. That way, whatever is hiding in the trees can be taken down slowly. If the enemy is waiting for things to calm down here, why should we wait? Let's take the fight to them."

"But-but my lord, wouldn't we be out numbered? And what about the people already here? Who'll take care of them?!"

With a small laugh and grin, Hiruzen replied, "leave them for me. As for you two, I have confidence in both of you. I'll be helping you both before you know it."

After a quick exchange of glances, both leaders left the scene swiftly. Hiruzen took a quick look around to analyze the field. From what he sees, it looked like the people of Shibuya burnt down all the surrounding trees to create a clean flat area. Anyone who runs through would be attacked nearly immediately, rendering a sneak attack near pointless. Meanwhile, the people of Karakoro created small trenches using water. They might be hiding just about anywhere. Despite being polar opposites, oddly enough the people of Shibuya and Karakoro got along nicely. Hiruzen took his time making a plan. He didn't want to kill anyone, just leave them unconscious enough to where they won't be a problem. His goal is to restore peace, and not worsen the condition. This whole war would've been avoided if Hiruzen would've met the request of the other villages not receiving enough water after Hiruzen had ordered everyone else to supply Karakoro town more in exchange for water. As great of a leader he is, he also was never the brightest when it came to political decisions.

After a lot of careful thinking and analyzing, Hiruzen decided it'll be best if he makes the first move. Just as quick as when he left his wife, before anyone realized he was on the battlefield. He was moving too fast for anyone to see. All he would leave behind is a small cloud of dust and dirt upon entering and exiting. What made this more impressive is that flash step only functions upon sight. This simply means he had to look where he's going before he activates the ability, so the lord was forced to react quicker than his own movement. It also helped that he is a bit bulkier than most warriors thanks to his intense training in his early years. He continued taking down one soldier at a time until finally the Karakoro town soldiers used a special technique where they covered their bodies in water and Shibuya soldiers used a ring of fire to surround themselves to stop Hiruzen. He paused for a moment to take a deep breath, and whilst the soldiers were charging him at full strength, Hiruzen too decided to use his full potential. He finally chose to show the true extent of his power. As a soldier approached him to land a sword swing at him, he also became the first person ever to witness greatness: 5 paths of nature, true sage...
