The Calm Before The Storm

Blood. Everywhere. That's all I see is blood, and bodies. My vision is blue, I can see chakra from a man standing in front of me.

He slowly claps his hands as he steps on the bodies under his feet as he apporached me.

"Killing all of your comrades without hesitation."

I looked down at my hands, but I see no blood on them, they are perfectly clean, I hear what sounds like a growl behind me. I turn around and there standing behind me, is...me.

The Ice Warrior standing proud, covered in blood. Her eyes glowing blue from under her helmet, the man gets closer and I can see his black and white swirled mask.

Madara Uchiha.

"You did all this just for me. I'm quiet proud of you Y/N."

The Ice Warrior kneeled before him, her fist flat on the ground.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled anger swelling inside of me. "You don't kneel for anybody!!"

They both looked at me, Madara laughed, the Ice Warrior stood to her full height and slowly took steps towards me.

"Remember who you are! You are Y/N Yakani! You protect those you love! You don't slaughter comrades!"

In an instant she was in front of me, her helmet vanished and her snowflakes eyes were black and white instead of blue and white. She laughed evilly and smirked,

"We killed our son. And we loved him. What makes any of these comrade's any different?" Her voice echoed in my ears, it was slow, and deep for a woman.

"We had no choice! It was kill or be killed! He almost killed Gunta, I had to protect him!"

"So you valued one son over the other?"

"What? No! I-"

A sharp pain hit me in my heart, I opened my mouth to speak but blood poured out..."I'll be seeing you again."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That pulsating pain hitting me in the heart woke me up with a gasp. I clenched my chest as I panted hard, a cold sweat covered my body. I looked around, it's daylight now, I slept all night. I stood up and walked a few steps. I didn't see anyone close by, I cupped my hands over my mouth

"Kakashi?!"

"The enemy's attacking!" A voice yelled out before a loud explosion rang out. Panic set in, i ran up a tree and stood on a branch trying to to get a layout of where people were. I could hear fighting in the distance, but it seems I'm farther away then I remember when I fell asleep. Kakashi wouldn't have let them go so far without waking me up. I looked at the spot where I woke up, didn't look like the spot I fell asleep at.

"Kakashi! Guy! ANYBODY?!" I screamed out. But heard nothing back.

I growled in frustration and jumped down from the branch I was on and ran at full speed to the nearest battle I could hear. Still calling out for anybody to answer me.

I jumped through a clearing and saw a company of Shinobi and one of the Seven Swordsman Of The Mist.

Out of nowhere Zabuza's huge sword came flying out and stabbed into the ground, Kakashi crouching on it.

"It's Captain Kakashi!" A voice called out.

"I hope you don't think that this will be over so soon." Kakashi said moving to stand on the swords handle.

Sai and Lee jumped down and landed behind him, Sai carrying a large scroll on his back and Lee held some sort of ink and brush holder.

"Alright! You should began Sai." Lee said taking off the brush holder.

I ran to Kakashi's side, Ice Sword at the ready.

"There you are! Where did you go?" He asked looking down at me.

"Oh you know, a sake break." I grumbled back.

"Listen we have Sai preparing a sealing Jutsu, I have Lee guarding him, but he might need your help. So just keep an eye for them. Lee will let you know if he needs you."

"Got it. Will do."

"RRRAAAHHH!" The swordsman ran to at me and Kakashi, sword and hammer held high to strike, I jumped back to avoid his hammer, Kakashi jumped grabbing the handle of Zabuza's sword and swung it clashing with the other sword, they soon were locked in a sword fight with no way for me to jump in and help.

The swordsman jumped up and smirked at Kakashi, "So there's still someone in this world whose at least a little bit of a challenge."

"Even if you are one of the Seven Ninja Swordsman Of The Mist, we won't let you win this fight so easily."

He chuckled darkly at Kakashi, charging at him, "ILL SILENCE YOU!"

As he swung his sword Kakashi dodged every attack with ease.

"If I can simply thrust my sword towards you, then there's no end!" He brought his hammer up bringing it down to hit Kakashi, "There is no way to block the Helmet Splitter!"

"Who said anything about blocking?" Kakashi dropped his sword ,"Your defense is weak!" Kakashi cut him in half, sending the Swordsman sword and hammer flying into the air and landing behind us.

"That's one down."

Everyone behind us cheered for Kakashi as I stood there dumbfounded, my swords tip touching the ground.

"How the hell...?" I whispered more to myself in my astonishment that Kakashi was able to cut him down so easily.

I ran up to him as he stood up, "How-what-when?" I couldn't even form a damn sentence, he didn't even acknowledge my presence beside him as he watched the man slowly reconnect his body.

"Enshui." Kakashi called, a man ran up to him, "Yes Sir?"

"Hold him with Shadow paralysis until the sealing Jutsu is ready to go."

"Right understand."

Kakashi turned to the Shinobi behind us, "The rest of you will meet up with the squad in front. You'll all follow me."

He looked at Lee and Sai having a silent conversation with Lee with his eyes. Him and Lee nodded to each other in understanding.

"Now let's go!" Kakashi yelled , us all following close behind him. I ran close to his side, "So you got any explanation for how the hell you managed to cut him down?" I asked looking at him.

"I guess I'm just that good." He joked giving me a closed eye smile.

"Don't feed your already too big for you ego." I teased smacking him on his chest, he grabbed it and gave my hand a tight squeeze.

"So where did you go? I went to wake you up and you were gone."

"I was going to ask you that. I woke up some where different than when I went to sleep. Everyone was gone and no one answered me when I called."

We ran for hours, stopping every now and again for a break.

Thick fog rolled in obstructing our vision, Kakashi called for all of to jumped in the trees and continue traveling that way, but even up here in the trees the fog seemed thicker.

"Did you hear?! The guy of the Hidden Leaf sealed away one of the Seven Ninja Swordsman!"

Kakashi jolted in surprise in surprise stopping on a branch, as to where I stopped at one ahead of him, turning to look at him.

"What's up?" I asked, he went to answer me but a loud explosion sounded through the air, he quickly whipped around in the direction of the sound, "What the?" He asked as birds flew out of the tree in a panic.

He started to jump from branch to branch headed towards it, me close in tow behind him, "Help! Help me!" A scares voice called out.

Due to this fog and Kakashi being faster than me, he disappeared into the fog alone.

"Wait! Slow down Kakashi!" I yelled trying to make sure I didn't fall from missing a branch. But he didn't listen to me, he was gone completely.

I dropped from the branches and ran along with ground, "Kakashi?!"

My fitting caught something and I fell to the ground hard on my side. I groaned as I sat up, dusting off my arm and leg as I looked around for what could tripped me. Something big was laying in the ground in front me, I crawled over to it, gasping as tears whelped up in my eyes, it was a body, torn in half, it was a Leaf Shinobi.

"What the hell is going on?" I stood up backing away from him when my back hit something, I turned and before me were three more Shinobi swinging from a tree branch, all dead and had a wire through them.

I screamed out backing away from them slowly.

"Who could have done this?"

I needed to find Kakashi, we we're safe in these woods. But first, I cut the men down and laid them flat on the ground side by side and ran off to find Kakashi, praying to whatever is up in the heavens that he was okay.

Running I saw a figure standing there, I squinted my eyes and saw that it was Kakashi. I ran up to touching his shoulder, he was tensed as hell, I followed his line of sight. Then swordsman with the Needle Sword stood before us, many Shinobi wrapped with wore around the tree, some were groaning in pain, while others were dead silent.

Kakashi growled in anger which only humored the swordsman as he laughed, "He's trapping them, hanging them from the trees, and worst of all he's enjoying it. Sick bastard." I snarled rasing my sword.

Someone started causing all the trees to break sending bodies flying all around, the force pushed me back into Kakashi's chest, he wrapped an arm around me to steady me to him as we shielded our faces. The fog disappeared as the bodies fell to the ground, some grunting in pain as they did.

Another Swordsman came flying in swinging his swords at the trees. Kakashi moved me away from him and ran at him, sword ready, "Stop!" Kakashi yelled at him.

"Wait Kakashi!" I ran after him ignoring the pain in my chest as I did, whatever dis happening to me is causing me to be weak, it's slowing me down. I dropped to my knees panting hard, my sword clattering to the ground in front of me.

"Damn it!" I yelled holding onto my chest. Is the Ice Warrior chakra is too strong for me to control?

I slowly stood up, grabbing my sword I stumbled in my footing but caught myself and began to run again.

Catching up to Kakashi, there were two Ninja Swordsman one threw it's needle swords through the other, causing Kakashi to jump back, "You with the executioner's blade? I don't like it one bit" He tugged his sword back ripping the other in half.

He jumped up going to swing at Kakashi but I jumped in the way cutting his sword away causing him to stumble back. He dashed off towards Kakashi leaving me with the Swordsman who can use his sword like a bomb. But he too ran last me, "Back off he's mine!" He yelled, but I threw a kunai at his leg causing him to stop running and look back at me, "You're fighting me!" I yelled and charged at him, dashing to cut his torso but also trying to avoid being touched by his sword of paper bombs.

He kicked me in the stomach sending me to the ground in a rolling mess of limbs and rocks. He laughed and ran towards Kakashi again, swinging his sword down and letting go a massive earthquake sending rocks and dirt towards Kakashi who blocked it with the executioner's blade.

I stood up running back to Kakashi's side, he was panting as I stepped in front of him, hand signs ready.

"I'm gonna kill you., And take back the executioner's blade. "

"No! I will!"

"Stay back! I'll kill you if you get in my way!"

They were fighting like children over who gets to kill us.

"I'm already dead! "

They took steps towards us, I sucked in a large gulp of air ready to release a tidal wave of water, but Guy's voice made me swallow it down.

"It looks like you're back up against the all buddy!" Guy came flying down from the heavens like the majestic man he is Landing in front of us, "severe leaf hurricane!" He kicked the swordsman away, stirring up dust making me cough.

"I'm Might Guy, the Hidden Leaf's Noble Blue Beast. So sorry I'm late Kakashi and Y/N."

"Id say your just on time Guy?" I joked, even though this isn't the time to make jokes, I couldn't resist when it comes to Guy.

"Guy, thanks."

"Huh? You're the one who wanted us all to regroup because it was too dangerous to work separately and small platoons. So why are you two doing this by yourselves? And once more your up against to ninja swordsman of the mist."

"I wanted to protect everyone but I got in over my head."

"I figured as much, anyways we should get that woman away from here and fast."

"I'll do it." I said finally noticing a woman face down in the dirt, I walked up to her sitting her up in my arm and lightly smacked her face until she woke up.

She shook her head and gasped I surprise at me, "Huh? Where am I?" She asked looking around.

"Huh?! That man! He killed all my comrades!" She exclaimed looking at the men behind me.

"Yeah, it seems like it. But look, no time to worry about it now. I need you to go and regroup with the main regiment.

"But- the three of you-"

"We'll be fine. While we're fighting them you're only gonna get in the way." Guy said annoyed.

She went to say something else but I quickly pulled her to her feet, "No time. Go!"

I watched as she ran off, I turned to Kakashi and Guy but stopped, my body wasn't moving. It wasn't listening to me to move. Both sets of comrades starting fighting. I yelled in frustration at my body. An explosion knocked me back, sending me hurtling into the forest slamming my back against a tree.

"K-Kakashi! Guy!" I screamed out.

"Y/N! Are you okay?" Guy yelled back, as the smoke cleared I saw Kakashi had put up a multi mud wall, great thinking

"I'm good! Just...can't move!"

"What?! What's wrong?!" Kakashi asked full of worry.

"I'm not sure! Don't worry about me! I'll get to moving soon!"

Little did they know I was fighting the hatred that threatened to take over my body. It all made sense now, the reason my chest kept hitting, my chakra being all wonky. I'm getting weak because the Ice Warrior chakra is fed from hatred, that's why Pein wanted me to give into it.

I can't let it take over! I have to fight it!

Forcing the hatred down, down to the bottom of my soul. I stood up, using the tree to help balance.

I took a step and fell down, face in the dirt.

"Y/N." Madara's voice called in my head.

"Don't fight it. Feed into it. Remember what Kakashi did? Remember what he did to Rin, how he let Obito get crushed."

"N-No. You're wrong...those were accidents. He didn't do it on purpose!"

"What about the Leaf? They casted you aside after you left. They didn't even try to look for you, even with orders to protect you. Tossed aside like a piece of trash."

"Stop it!" I held onto my head tightly, "Get out of my head!"

"I'll always be in your head, as long as I live, I'll be tucked away in here."

"How? How are you in my head?"

"That poisoned kunai wasn't poison. It was a Jutsu, one that can't be undone until I take my last breath."

He laughed in my head, images from the day Obito died flashing my head.
I could smell the dirt, his blood. The sounds of mine and Rin's crying.

"O-Obito..." I cried quietly. I gritted my teeth and threw my head in the air facing the sky, "OBITO!!" I screamed crying my eyes out.

I cried for the friends I'll see again, for the way they died. I cried from the pain I still felt to this day, the emptiness of losing two close friends is a lot to bare for a child back then during time of war. I was already outcasted people blamed me for theirs deaths, they'd say I was cursed by my dead clan, and soon I'd turn my Cruse on them.

But that was far from the truth, Id never hurt anybody in the village, no matter what I felt on the inside, I'd could never hurt my comrade's, or the people I loved unless there was no other choice.

My vision turned blue as I stood up, "No! You will not take over and hurt them!" Taking my kunai I stabbed my hand, bringing my senses back and taking control, my vision cleared up and my body was no longer weak.

I was at full power, and I was ready to kill Madara Uchiha...
