Kibo laughed as the Kage were puzzled by his generosity but at the same time also understood the importance of taking back this cooking method.Kibo then spoke out, "Better get used to this, Immortals won"t hide information from each other, and people living here must contribute by recording all they know inside the training hall"s library. A tribulation for the very survival of this world will be coming after our War with the 10 tails, and hiding Jutsu"s and other techniques will be taboo in this village. Those that hold back will be guilty of treason and will have the information forcefully extracted from them, before being executed." Kibo saw the uncomfortable expressions on the Kage"s faces as leaked his killing intent making them shiver.
"This is no time for petty power struggles amongst our own kind, the world has to be united in order for us to obtain victory, the Immortals and G.o.ds are not to be thought of lightly, and Humankind will have to pull all our resources in order to fight off these foes!" Kibo then shouted, "I may be kind, but I will not be merciful!"
The Kages gulped as he withdrew his aura, Kibo then smiled as he said, "Now please enjoy your meal."
Kibo walked away to visit and mingle with the others, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin were having a tearful reunion with their sensei, Minato hugged them and said, "I"m glad you"re all okay!"
Rin and Obito were crying, they had been forgiven by their teacher for their acts of betrayal, Rin for secretly being a Kiri Spy and for Obito"s transgression against the leaf. However, Obito and Rin would probably never be allowed to return to the village, at least they could live happy lives here. Minato took solace in this and smiled as he caught up with his students, Minato introduced Umiko and Rin squealed at how cute she was. Kushina smiled as she let Rin hold her, she gave Obito a smack that echoed throughout the air, drawing the attention of the onlookers, just as Obito figured that he deserved this and probably won"t be forgiven for his actions, she hugged him and shouted, "You"re so dumb, why didn"t you come back the moment you could!" Obito sighed and accepted Kushina"s bone-cracking hug.
As he was moving on Kibo spotted Kahyo introducing herself to Minato again and when she grabbed Kakashi"s hand, Kushina"s jaw dropped as she began teasing him relentlessly.
Kibo smiled as he spotted Jiraiya and his old pupils from the rain village bowing for forgiveness. Yahiko was the only one who didn"t know what was going on when Nagato shouted, "I erred from your teachings, and sought to do unspeakable things. I used my friend"s body as a weapon of attrition, I planned to destroy the leaf as a threat to capture the Nine-Tails, I. . ." Before Nagato could continue Jiraiya place his hand on his shoulder and said, "Nagato, that"s in the past. If you couldn"t follow my teachings then, then try once more, I would only lose hope in you; if you lose hope in yourself."
Jiraiya picked up Konan, and Nagato and smiled at Yahiko, "I"m can"t tell you how happy I am to see you all grown up. It really brings a tear to my eye, to think of how strong you"ve grown."
Tsunade was staring at Jiraiya in surprise, she normally saw him as a perv but never did she see him behave like a master, or as mature as he was acting now. She didn"t even notice that she was blushing as she stared at him, making Mito giggle as she pointed it out to Tsunade, thus making Hashirama give stares of death directed at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya felt a chill up his spine as he looked back at them to see Hashirama quickly hide his animosity with a smile and laugh. He scratched his head as he went back to talking with his pupils and hearing their stories. Jiraiya was also met by the rest of the original Akatsuki members, they bowed as they had heard many stories of their leader"s honorable teacher and respected him as a legend.
Kyūsuke had long black hair and black-colored cat-like pupils, he had black markings around and below his eyes and extra distinguishing light purple markings around them. He wore a black Akatsuki forehead protector that Kibo gave out to them, it had the picture of a sun rising over a cloud. Over his body, he wore a simple sleeveless light brown kimono with light black sleeves, a light grey scarf covering his neck, and a sword on his back. He later wore the cla.s.sic Akatsuki cloak consisting of a black-colored zip up robe with the zipper part being apart.
Kyūsuke"s abilities centered around being an extremely fast-moving Shin.o.bi whose speed earned him his nickname, Swift Foot Kyūsuke. Proving his speed in battle, in the original timeline, he showed himself to be so quick that even the Raikage took notice. He was also noted to be highly skilled in intelligence gathering, his preferred tactics in battle aligned with using Ken-Jutsus as he was also extremely skilled in this as well. He was also capable of using Lava release and showed great capacity in Chakra levels by using the Quicklime Congealing Jutsu without tiring easily.
Daibutsu was a quiet type, bald man with tannish-colored eyes and large ears. He had thin eyes, wide lips, and a wart centered just above his eyes. Overall, his appearance bore a resemblance to Buddha. Like the rest of the Akatsuki, he wore their standard uniform and had the Akatsuki headband over his arm.
Daibutsu had capable skill in wielding a bō and a big club. He could also use it in conjunction with his Water Release to quickly perform techniques like the Water Prison. He was known for being a silent killer and was capable of many powerful water Jutsus.
Kie had black eyes and long brown-colored hair that he had tied in a bun in the back. He wore his forehead protector normally with which he let two strands of his hair hang over on the sides of his face. He wore a black-colored zip up robe with the zipper part being red. He also had a white sash wrapped around him from the right side of his waist up around his left shoulder.
Not much of Kie"s abilities were known about, but even with losing an arm, Madara considered him enough of a threat to kill himself, as it turns out Kie used to be the strongest Ken-Jutsu user in the squad and even could use a triple Kekkei Genkai; a Kekkei Tōta that was a fusion of Lightning, Water, and Wind called Heavens Mirror. It had the ability to reflect and rebound any Jutsu; Madara was unsure if this technique could affect his Eternal Tsukiyomi Technique so he had chosen to act in person. Once he had heard Kie had injured himself and was unable to use two hands to perform the technique, he killed Kie before he could recover.
What Madara didn"t know was that it only worked on those who had weaker Chakra levels than his own. However Kie"s Chakra levels were nothing to scoff at; if Kisame was considered a no tailed beast, then Kibo would consider Kie to be similar in that manner. No wonder Madara saw him as a threat.
Jiraiya had taken to them all quite nicely and even thought about teaching them as well, he was still really surprised at their being such a thing as the Immortal realm but was convinced that he could achieve it, and staying here to do so while teaching his students again seemed very enticing to him.
Kibo also saw Deidara and Sasori fighting about what true art was while enjoying their meal, Kibo nodded his head glad to see they understood his no causing trouble while they were employed by him. Kibo also decided to give their rings an upgrade, like what he had given to the Jinchuriki squad the rings could summon a body of Chakra armor that would protect them from Gen-Jutsu"s and could absorb a decent amount of Chakra. It also had a physical boosting effect that increased their physiques capabilities by 3 times their original parameters.
The Hyuga clan seemed to be getting along nicely as they mingled with the other clans, Negi, Neji"s little brother seemed to have a crush on Akari of the Ryu clan, he acted a bit like Hinata as he hid behind Neji"s sleaves.
Hinata and Naruto were together as always, he hung out with the rest of the Jinchuriki showing off his girlfriend, which seemed to spark something in Yagura as he took a swig of Sake and marched over to Mei who was almost a foot taller than himself and leaned her down to kiss her.
Mei froze as she clammed up, after hearing Yagura was being controlled all her past animosities towards him vanished, and now that he did this it took her by surprise. She always had a crush on him but was never able to tell what he was thinking, as Yagura always kept his thoughts to himself. The crowd in that area cheered and whistled on in support making Kibo laugh.
Kibo saw Kisame and Zabuza catching up with Yagura after the whole ordeal, and even bowed and apologized for not being strong enough to defend their Kage from Madara"s Genjutsu.
Kibo looked over the rest of his guest and saw that they were getting along, he took a deep breath and looked to the horizon before smiling and saying, "I think Madara"s in trouble."
************************************
Far away Madara was holding his hand over a giant tree stump, the entire tree was being pulled into his hand that was being transported to the Jubi"s Husk. As the Husk absorbed the energy, the eyes began opening up, on through nine had all opened when he frowned. The tenth eye was almost open but the stump had completely been uprooted, as this happened the world"s energy started to slowly rise. Madara had unknowingly done a great dead for the world by killing off the G.o.d Tree"s roots, as it still maintained its hold over the world and was suppressing its recovery.
Madara grunted and said, "It"s not enough, we would still need to absorb at least one Jinchuriki to awaken the Jubi."
Black Zetsu grimaced as he stared into the distance and said "Not a Jinchuriki because that "Singularity" is guarding them, but I recently discovered a place that can temporally recreate the Jinchuriki and their Biju"s powers. If one uses half of their life force they can take on the Jinchuriki"s abilities and even access a watered down version of their Tailed Beast forms. If they use all their life force they can become full-on Bijus and will only have a limited time to use its full power."
Black Zetsu then summoned a white Zetsu that was possing an elderly man with very long white hair some of which is pointed up, and the rest is straight and tied into two loose thick ponytails that behind his back and has two strands framing his face with and a small goatee on his jaw. He wore a pointed hat that resembles a Kazaori Eboshi and on his wrinkled face are three red triangle markings two on the sides of his cheeks and jawline, and one in the center of his forehead that has a small diagonally scar running through it.
"One of that brat"s clones outed this old man Gensui as a traitor who planned to incite a war against the leaf to get his revenge against the Tenrō clan for their persecution and banishment of the Amagiri clan years earlier. This ruthlessness was taken to extremes when after that boy revealed his plan and his son begged him to right his ways, he had no qualms about using even his own son, as he tried to force a transformation seal talisman on him to escape. But this Kibo managed to destroy his Chakra center somehow, and then he was banished from the village. Luckily I managed to capture him and posses him."
Madara smiled before saying, "So why don"t we begin now!"
Black Zetsu shook his head and said "We still need to go wake up some suitable warriors I want you to revive using the Edo Tensei and then the Rinnegan to completely revive them as your servants, know this Madara these beings your about to bring back are corpses from an age long past, so don"t slip up or you end up losing your life."
Madara looked interested as he asked, "Oh, and who are these Shin.o.bi?"
Black Zetsu shook his head, "Not Shin.o.bi! Immortals!"
