The Inevitable Game Of Eternity

Arrival In The Castle

In the darkness of an ancient castle, cold stone walls echoed with the faint hum of flickering torches. Izuna, Kagami, Obito, Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke Uchiha found themselves standing in the middle of a vast, shadowed room. Their surroundings were foreign and eerie, a far cry from the familiar territory of their clan's lands. The air was heavy with an otherworldly aura, and a sense of unease crept into each of their hearts.

Obito glanced around, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. "How did we get here?" he muttered, fingers twitching as he reached instinctively for a kunai. The others were equally on edge, their senses alert to any movement.

"I don't like this," Sasuke said, his voice a low whisper. "There's something off about this place."

Itachi's eyes were already darting around, trying to find a way out. "Stay together. We need to figure out what's going on."

But before they could take another step, the torches lining the walls flared up with a deep crimson light, casting eerie shadows that danced around them. The Uchiha froze, their attention drawn to a sudden presence in the room. A figure sat atop a throne made of twisted stone and adorned with ancient symbols-

Madara Uchiha.

His eyes gleamed like two burning coals, and his lips curled into a sinister smile that sent chills down their spines. "Welcome, my dear clan," Madara said, his voice smooth but laced with a dangerous undertone. "I see you're all wondering why you're here."

Izuna took a step forward, disbelief written on his face. "Big brother! What is this? How did you-"

Madara's chuckle echoed through the room, cutting off Izuna's question. "How? Oh, Izuna, the 'how' is unimportant. What matters is why you're here." His gaze swept over each of them, lingering on their confused faces. "I've brought you to this castle for a purpose-a gift I intend to bestow upon you."

Kagami's eyes narrowed. "What kind of gift?"

Madara's smile widened, revealing sharp, glinting teeth. "The gift of eternity," he said, his voice dripping with twisted delight. "You will all become like me-immortal, powerful creatures of the night.

Vampires."

The Uchihas exchanged uneasy glances, none more shocked than Obito. "Vampires? That's insane," he said, taking a half-step back. "We didn't agree to this!"

Madara leaned back on his throne, his eyes glinting with a predatory light. "Oh, but it's not up to you to agree, Obito. It's a game of survival. A test of your will to live. You see, I will turn you all, one by one, into vampires-if I catch you."

Shisui's jaw clenched. "And if we avoid you?"

Madara's grin grew even darker. "Then you remain human... for a while longer. But make no mistake-I'm very good at catching my prey." He snapped his fingers, and the room shifted around them, sealing all exits and plunging them into a twisted game they never asked to play.

"Let the hunt begin," Madara declared, his voice echoing in the vast room. His eyes locked on Obito, and in an instant, he disappeared from the throne.
