Konoha's New Prodigy: A New Path

27

Well, who would've thought that I'll back to the place that once I called "home"?

Amazing, isn't it? The only difference we have is that now the village is something else, something I thought I'll never see. It's not like when I went to the war and Toneri took over the city with his army. This is different.

The whole city is on fire. Everything has been turned to ashes and the craziest part of it is that they managed to capture the Nine Tails.

"How the hell did you managed to do it?" I said out loud as the guards urged me to keep walking while I was in chains.

"The ANBU once recollected essential information about the Uzumaki clan. They were the only ones who had strong sealing techniques, capable to capture all the monsters they wanted without losing their lives." The elder man said with a huge smirk as he saw how the Nine Tails was tied up with chains made of chakra where once stood the Hokage monuments.

'Kurama...what have they done to you?'

"What are you gonna do to him?" I asked.

"Nothing much, just use him to create the world we agreed to deserve. A world without beings like you..." he said as I realized that my public killing was just the beginning of something bigger. They were going to kill every human that has special abilities that belonged to the shinobi world.

Shinki....

Konan....

Shion....

And all the rest that disagreed with the executive order 666.

They placed me inside the remains of Konoha's prison. Away from every clarity and sight of the city. I knew I had to do something, but first things first. I had to get out of here.

"But how?" I sighed as I saw how my hands were still chained.

'Hey, little one'

'Huh? Are you-'

'That's right. I'm glad to see you're doing fine despise all this mess. That brat surely made sure you were alright.'

'Kurama...' I said as I felt how my eyes got teary. 'I'm so sorry for everything.'

'You mean this? Pfft! This is nothing compared to other times. Although I'll prefer to not have all this extracting my chakra right now...'

'They're about to kill me. I just know it. I gave in to save Shinki and Konan, but now they're going to kill everyone else once they kill me....' I sighed. 'All this training, all this hiding for nothing...'

'Well if you call yourself like that then go ahead. Surely I have to tell the brat here that all this was for nothing once I die.'

'What?'

'All I'm saying is that you have been hiding too much. And the only way to solve this is by doing exactly what they want to do to all of us.'

'But that's wrong! Is massive genocide! And they're from Konoha.  The place where I come from!'

'Konoha doesn't exist anymore. The Five Nations already perished. What's left is something not even I can recognize.... Look, I know this is hard for you, your parents did knew about this.... Even the whiny brother you have knew it too. But no matter what you do, it's your choice. After all this I promised the brat that I was going to join your power, just keep you safe and make you feel that you're not alone... but of course, that's if you want.'

Then I heard the guard coming in. "Your time has come..."
