Days passed
The hut had barely settled into silence when the door opened again.
2 people dressed in the same gear as his father entered the house.
As usual, it was time for her mother to go to work again.
His mother didn't say anything else.
She already knew why they were here.
Today, she was looking very weak already...
She first went to check on Erza and then approached Yoriichi.
"Yoriichi, promise me you will protect your sister," Mother said.
"yes mother," Yoriichi replied instantly.
she smiled gently and kissed Yoriichi on forehead and said, "I'm truly sorry Yoriichi."
A tear slid down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away and left the house.
Yoriichi quietly decided to follow them.
No one paid attention to him.
They moved away from the hut to a small camp.
One of the shinobi grabbed the woman's arm and pulled away the bandage wrapped around it. Old marks covered her skin.
The shinobi leaned down and bit into her arm.
Her body jerked.
But she kept quiet...
The others followed.
One after another.
The room filled with the uncomfortable sound of movement and muffled breaths. The men straightened little by little as their wounds healed and their strength returned.
The woman stayed on her knees the entire time.
Her fingers pressed against the wooden floor to steady herself.
When they finally stepped back, one of them rolled his shoulder with relief.
"That's better."
Another wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
The man glanced down at her briefly.
"Get some rest," he said, almost lazily. "You'll be needed again."
Just like that, they left.
For a moment, she remained where she was, catching her breath. Then she slowly wrapped the cloth back around her arm.
From far away, Yoriichi watched it all
He had watched the entire thing without speaking.
Then silently, he returned to his home.
After a while, he walked over to the bedding where the baby lay. She had started crying again.
He gently rocked the cloth beside her until she quieted down.
...
Since that day, he has never seen his mother again.
Days passed, slowly weeks, but his mother's arrival never came.
Yoriichi pov
Erza would cry day and night, I could only hold her in my arms and give false hope that one day she will come back..
This entire time, his father hasn't visited them either.
They only got enough food by the shinobi who would drop by here every once in a while.
The food could only fill my sister's stomach .... So that's what i did. At least my sister was sleeping every day with full stomach. This alone was enough to subside all my hunger.
(He was only seven when the house went quiet.
Not the kind of quiet that comes at night…
but the kind that stays even in daylight.
His baby sister cried in the corner, her tiny hands reaching for someone who wasn't there anymore.
"Mama will come…" he whispered, though his voice trembled.
He didn't know if he was lying to her… or begging it to be true.
He picked her up awkwardly, like a child trying to carry a world too heavy for his arms.
She clung to him, still crying.
That night, he didn't sleep)
Yoriichi stepped out of the house, then he looked at the bright night sky.
Holding his sister in his arms, he muttered, "If these are the challenges I have to face, these are nothing."
The moon was reflected in his eyes, I'll devour you ....
He extended his one hand towards the moon
............................
A different story, completely unrelated to this one.....
you can skip this.....
The sea around Marineford was restless that day.
Waves rolled against the massive walls of the fortress, crashing in steady rhythms that echoed across the harbour. The enormous stronghold stood like an unshakable giant in the middle of the ocean, its towering structures carved from pale stone and reinforced with iron.
Rows of cannons lined the outer defences.
Tall watchtowers overlooked the sea in every direction.
Even the wind that passed through the harbor carried the heavy scent of salt and steel.
Above the fortress, the sky was clear.
Calm.
Endless blue stretched over the ocean.
For a long time, nothing unusual happened.
Then the air changed.
A faint disturbance rippled through the sky above the fortress. The sea below began to stir strangely, the surface trembling.
Then suddenly
High above Marineford, the sky suddenly twisted.
The blue surface of the heavens bent inward as if invisible hands were pulling it apart. The air cracked with a violent ripple, and a jagged line of darkness split across the sky.
A rift.
The blue sky fractured around it.
Thin veins of black energy crawled outward as the tear widened, swallowing the sunlight around it. The ocean beneath reacted immediately—waves rising and crashing violently against the fortress walls.
The wind roared through the harbour.
Loose debris is scattered across the stone platforms.
The rift pulsed once.
The sky groaned as the rift widened further.
Then something moved inside the darkness.
Slowly, a figure appeared, but soon it turned into an army

Now all the jinchuriki arrived, followed by...
shisui Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha,
behind him,
A tall figure stood calmly, his long white hair flowing down his back like pale silk. His skin was unnaturally pale, marked with dark patterns that spread across his body. Behind him floated several black orbs of condensed chakra, moving silently in the air. In his hand rested a dark staff. His ripple-patterned eyes glowed with overwhelming power.
He was none other then 10 tail Madara Uchiha....
All finished? NO
Then following him Two people appeared walking calmly
One person had the same appearance as Uchiha Madara, but his face was wrinkled and two horns were coming out of his head.... It was none other then Sage Of Six Paths Hagoromo Otsutsuki....
Beside him is his brother Hamura Otsusuki.....
Now the last person to exit the crack...
A Woman with extremely pale skin and long, flowing white hair that reached far down her back. Two small horn-like protrusions rose from her head. She wore a long white robe decorated with dark magatama patterns. Her eyes were cold and emotionless—most notably the Byakugan and the powerful Rinne Sharingan on her forehead. Her presence divine....
On the OTHER SIDE WE HAVE .......
