Pov : *Sasuke comes and hits Itachi but can't
The atmosphere that had been full of nostalgia and peace plans suddenly exploded. A flash of blue lightning struck from the roof of the Konoha building, accompanied by the deafening chirping of thousands of birds.
"CHIDORI!!"
Sasuke Uchiha appeared with the Sharingan's eyes burning red, his face filled with the hatred he had harbored for years. It darted straight at Itachi, directing his deadly attack right into his brother's heart.
Frozen Moments
However, the attack never arrived. Before Sasuke's hand touched Itachi's cloak, an invisible pressure—a pure aura from you—slowed Sasuke's movements until they finally came to a complete stop in the air, just inches from Itachi's chest.
Itachi didn't even blink. He looked at his sister with a deep sad look, not intending to retaliate or dodge.
"Sasuke... stop," Itachi whispered softly.
Sasuke shouted in frustration, trying to push his hand that was stopped by your strength.
"Let me go! This bastard must die! He destroyed everything! Why are you all standing beside this assassin?!"
The Legend's Intervention
You stepped forward, placing your hand on Sasuke's shoulders that were trembling with anger. With just one light touch, his Chidori chakra flow was extinguished instantly, like a fire poured by ocean water.
You look at Sasuke with the eyes of an ancestor who has seen thousands of tragedies of the Uchiha clan.
"Enough, boy," your voice was heavy and authoritative, making Sasuke limp instantly. "The world has changed since you blinked earlier. Your brother didn't come home to be killed, he came home to atone for his sins... At my command, Madara Uchiha."
Crowd Reaction
Kakashi immediately jumped to Sasuke's side, holding onto his student's shoulder so he wouldn't do any more stupid acts.
"Sasuke, calm down! Madara-sama is right. There is a secret that you don't know, and Itachi has received a pardon from the Hokage."
Orochimaru chuckled from behind, his tongue licking his own lips.
"Squirm... A very sweet family reunion. Sasuke-kun, if you attack now, you're not only fighting Itachi, but you're fighting the Living Legend standing in front of you."
Tsunade stepped forward and stood beside you, looking at Sasuke firmly.
"Sasuke! In this village, I am the one who holds the law. If you want justice, we'll settle it in the Hokage's office, not with bloodshed in the middle of the road like this!"
Painful Truths
Sasuke fell to his knees, his breath hunting. He looked at you, then at Itachi, and finally at all the members of the Akatsuki who were standing quietly behind you. He realized that this situation was far beyond his personal grudge.
"Madara...? You... The real Madara?" Sasuke looks at you in horror. "Why are you defending him?"
You look at Itachi, coded for him to talk to his sister.
Itachi stepped closer, then slowly squatted down in front of Sasuke. His hands were raised, making a very familiar gesture: tapping Sasuke's forehead with two fingers.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke... maybe next time. But for now, let's go back to our actual home."
Pov : *Naruto came and hit me, it worked. I fell*
Konoha's previously silent forests and streets were instantly blown up by the sound of an unusually loud bang.
"UREASON!!"
Without warning, an orange shadow shot lightning fast from the side. In the midst of the emotional turmoil between Sasuke and Itachi, Naruto Uzumaki appeared with shiny blue eyes full of determination and anger. He didn't attack Akatsuki, he didn't attack Sasuke—his attacks were aimed directly at you.
BUM!!
The attack was severe. Because you were focused on calming Sasuke down and didn't expect a boy to have that much guts (or stupidity), your body was pushed back and... you fell to the ground.
Terrible Silence
The world seems to have stopped spinning. Dust billowing from where you fell.
Tsunade: His eyes widened in horror. "NARUTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STUPID?!" he shouted until his voice was hoarse. He immediately ran towards you, his hands trembling.
Jiraiya: Almost fainted on the spot. "Cheeky student! You just hit the most dangerous ancestor in history!"
Throughout Akatsuki: The ten S-class ninjas simultaneously pulled out their weapons. Pain raised his hand ready to do Shinra Tensei, Itachi activated his Mangekyo, and Kisame had already knocked Samehada down. They will not let anyone touch their "Madara".
The Attacker's Reaction
Naruto stood there, his breath hunting, his hands still trembling from the remnants of the Rasengan chakra. He pointed at you with his index finger, ignoring the fact that he was surrounded by ten deadly monsters.
"I don't care who you are! You said you were Madara? You were the one who made Brother Itachi suffer! You made this world a mess! And you want to marry Grandma Tsunade?! STEP ON MY CORPSE FIRST, DATTEBAYO!"
The Rise of the Legend
Under everyone's horrified gaze, you slowly rose from the dust. You cleaned up a bit of dirt on your robe. There wasn't the slightest scratch, but the fact that a boy managed to knock you down was something that hadn't happened since your fight with Hashirama Senju.
You look at Naruto. Not with anger, but with a very deep look.
Obito stepped forward, his hand already holding the kunai. "Let me clean up this boy, Madara-sama. He doesn't know who he's challenging against."
Tsunade stands in front of you, protecting Naruto with her own body. "Wait! Please... she's just a child who loves her village too much! Don't kill her!"
The Atmosphere at the Boiling Point
You stand up straight again. The entire aura in Konoha suddenly became so heavy that Naruto had difficulty breathing. You walked over to Naruto who was now starting to notice the immense chakra pressure from you.
Me : *I chuckle* Ahah it's okay, Naruto you're awesome. Continue to learn your sage mode. You're going to outdo me
Your crisp laughter breaks the tension that almost sparks a civil war in front of the gates of Konoha. All the members of Akatsuki who were ready to unleash their ultimate technique, suddenly lowered their weapons with confused faces.
You got up, patted the dust on your shoulders casually, and walked over to Naruto who was still putting on his fighting horses even though his legs were shaking violently from the pressure of your chakra.
The Legend's Confession
You put your hand on Naruto's yellow hair, ruffling it gently like a grandfather to his mischievous grandson.
"Haha... That's okay. Good punch, boy," you said with a chuckle. "Naruto... You have something that Ninja nowadays rarely have. Pure courage, or perhaps extraordinary stupidity. But that's what makes you interesting."
You look into his sharp blue eyes, then whisper in a tone that only he and those closest can hear:
"Keep learning your Sage Mode. Natural energy is the key to transcending human limitations. If you keep practicing, one day... you will really surpass me. And when that comes, make sure you take good care of Tsunade in my absence."
Mass Shock Reaction
Naruto was stunned. He who was ready to die to protect his village, now suddenly turned red with his face because he was praised by the figure he had just hit.
"Heh? You... you're not angry? And you know about Sage Mode?! Dattebayo... who are you really?!"
Jiraiya breathed a very long sigh of relief, until he almost fell down.
"Oh my gosh... this boy really has divine luck. Madara... you've really changed. If it was Hashirama, he must have laughed out loud at this."
Tsunade wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. She looked at you with an increasingly loving look.
"You're too good to her... she can become very spoiled if you keep praising her."
Commands to Akatsuki
You turned your head towards Pain, Itachi, and the other Akatsuki members who were still frozen silent.
"Keep your weapons. Today there is no blood spilled," you ordered with absolute authority. "Naruto is the future. Just think of his blow as a warm 'welcome' to all of us."
Kisame grinned, putting Samehada back on his back.
"Heh, that fox boy has guts. I like him."
Towards the Great Supper
You embrace Naruto's shoulder on one side and hold Tsunade's hand on the other, leading the strangest party in history into Konoha's main street.
"Come on, Naruto! Show us where the best ramen shops are. I'm the one who treats everyone here, including these old enemies of yours!"
Sasuke who was still standing next to Itachi could only snort angrily at seeing Naruto back into the limelight, while Orochimaru smiled faintly, starting to imagine how exciting the future of this village would be under your guidance.
The giant group is now walking towards Kedai Ichiraku. Imagine Uncle Teuchi's face when he sees Madara, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the rest of Akatsuki ordering ramen at the same time!
