12 CHAPTER 12 :AFTERMATH OF THE BATTLE AND THE FIVE KAGES REACTION.

IN KONOHA :COUNCIL CHAMBERS

The heads of all the major clans of Konoha were gathered in the council chambers at this time. It has been few minutes when an emergency was announced throughout the village and and the village was put into lockdown. The civilians were being evacuated into the shelters. After completing the evacuation, the heads of the Major clans like Uchiha, Hyuga, Nara ,Akimichi,Aburame,Yamanaka, Saritobi, Shimura, Kurama Clans were present. From the Senju clan Mito and Tobirama were present.

"Can you explain why the Hokage decided to call an emergency in the middle of the night and is now nowhere to be seen?" The Uchiha patriarch said irritably.

Tobirama ,ever the Uchiha hating bastard snarled back,"He is not here because he is protecting the safety of the village ,not like you Uchiha who do nothing."

Before the situation could escalate the Nara clan head decides to intervene in the matter,"What do you mean protecting the village Lord Tobirama. How is the village in danger?"

Mito decided to speak up." A few minutes ago, the sensory divison felt two massive chakras coming towards Konoha. They were able to identify one as Madara. The other one was not only massive but was filled with malice. So much so that it nearly corroded the minds of our sensory nin. It was large enough to dwarf Hashirama by a bit.Care to take a guess?"

"Is it the Kyuubi?" Nara clan head.

"Yes." Mito.

"Can't the Hokage control the tailed beasts with his wood style?" Hyuga clan head.

"He can. But the kyubi is not so simple. Although if it was alone it would not have been a problem but the addition of Madara makes the job a whole lot difficult."Mito.

"Can't we go there to help him?" Hyuga.

" Although i would like to do that. Intervening in that level of a battle will only be a hindrance to big brother. As of this moment all we can do is to rely on big brother." Tobirama.

"That's not exactly true. The members of the uzumaki clan are very well versed in seals. Mito sama can you create a seal that can take the kyubi out of the equation?" Yamanaka head asked.

" My shadow clones are currently working on the seal. Once it is finished I will proceed to the battlefield to supress the kyubi and help Hashirama." Mito replied.

" That would not be necessary." An unknown voice sounded throughout the room.

"Intruder" Tobirama shouted as he and the rest of the people went on guard.

The Hyuga clan head turned on his byakugan to spot the intruder. "There " he shouted pointing towards the man.

All the Shinobi inside the chambers turned to where the Hyuga head pointed.

The intruder raised his hands and said aloud," I am not here to fight you guys,I just came to talk to you about the current affairs going on."

All of them were flaring their chakra and trying to figure out wether I was athreat or not. Finally Tobirama came forward and said

" Explain yourself. How did you come in here without anybody noticing?"

The intruder smiled,"Vey well. My name is Lucifer D. Morningstar. I simply walked in these chambers when you were busy talking."

Tobirama narrowed his eyes. The name Lucifer sounded familiar to him although he could not place his finger upon it.

Beside him Mito also narrowed her eyes. She had heard of the cult of Lucifer. Although she was not a believer of some random god, the elders of her clan once told her of a story which was passed down in the clan. It is said that once during a great crisis in Uzushio the Uzumaki were dying left and right due to some kind of chakra based disease. It was said that a person called Lucifer came from the heavens and saved their clan using some ray of light. Although she was sceptical of this story ,the older uzumakis held the name Lucifer in very high regards. Looking towards the man ,he was nether appearing holy nor was he ammiting any kind of chakra. She said" What is your connection with the cult of Lucifer? Are you one of their members ?"

Tobirama's eyes widened. Yes now he remembered. Some guys came to their clan a few years age to preach about the cult of Lucifer. Looking at the man he waited for his reply.

The man's face changed to a face of disgust. Opening his mouth he spoke with a lot of disdain," No I am not related to those physcos. They are just pathetic. My purpose of comming here is simple. It is to show you the battle between the so called strongest of the era."

"And how are you going to do that?" The inuzuka patriarch asked.

"Like this" he said and waved his hands. A screen like object materialised in the front of the room and a video began to play in it. All the people could clearly see Hashirama and Madara fighting each other .

"Truly their power is on a different level" someone said out aloud.

MC POV.

'Hmm. The main battle is about to begin. It's time for me to intervene in the battle.'

Looking at Madara covering the nine tails in his Susano the people gasped in horror.

"How will Lord Hokage counter this??" The Akimichi head said.

"Lord Hokage would have to use his strongest jutsu to counter situation. Why, because if he doesn't then Madara might just win this battle." The Aburame head said in an emotionless voice.

Just as Hashirama was about to cast a jutsu, someone interrupted their battle. Looking at the man on the screen and looking at the man sitting among them they were confused.

"Shadow clones" I said out loud.

Soon they questioned their understanding of reality when they saw Madara and Hashirama being manhandled by the man in front of them. They watched in disbelief as the man tore down Madara's Susano like glass and shot him out like a ball.

The most uncomfortable was the Uchiha clan Patriarch.As an Uchiha he knew what power the Susano held and the power Madara possessed personally. He was quiet sure that nothing in the world could break through the defences of a Susano let alone mere physical power. Looking at the man sitting with them in horror he made a vow not to make the man angry with him. To hell with his Uchiha pride, life is more important.

This was not only the thought of The Uchiha Patriarch but also the rest of them. They were seeing with their own eyes that this man in front of them was toying with the god of shinobi and the ninja Shura throughout the battle. Tobirama and Mito were shocked when they saw the man use Ice and wood release simultaneously. Looking at the man at shock they they were terrified by the strength that this man possessed.

The fight was going on in full swing. Madara and Hashirama were pushed back again after a few rounds of hand to hand combat. Then came the big surprise. The people saw something that made their scalp go numb. Their expression was of pure disbelief when they saw a meteorite being summoned by this man and thrown towards Madara and Hashirama. They were more surprises when Madara and Hashirama has to use their strongest jutsus to defend themselves. The battle went on for quite sometime before both Madara and Hashirama were on the defensive again. Finally the man declared that in this battle he is going to kill one of them and he proved himself correct when after a few moments he successfully killed Madara.

The battle ended with the man running off and the feed being cut off.

Silence 🤐🤐 no one dared to speak out. Even the proud and arrogant Tobirama was silent. Mito was now indecisive on if she should be happy that Hashirama is alive and safe or worried that the person who toyed with her husband, the strongest shinobi to ever live from the sage of the six paths was sitting with them looking at the cealing.

" Now that my shadow clones has finished it's battle, I have a few things that I would like to discuss with you. But we will wait for Hashirama to arrive at Konoha with the kyubi. Nara, go and bring Hashirama here when he arrives. Rest of you stay put."

The Nara patriarch looked at Mito and seeing her nod he stood up and exited the room.

I closed my eyes and felt through my observation Haki that Hashirama was near the village and it would take him a few minutes to reach Konoha.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER.

It has been 10 minutes when Hashirama entered the room where everyone was present. Looking around his eyes widened when he spotted me sitting in one of the chairs.

Opening my eyes I looked at Hashirama and said,"My shadow clone seems to have given you more trouble than expected. Sit down we have matters to discuss."

" I thought your test of me and Madara is over. Then why have you kept the clan heads as hostage?" Hashirama.

Looking at him with irritation in my eyes I said," Nobody here is a hostage. They can leave whenever they want. I simply have matters to discuss with you. These matters concerns the clans of Konoha.That is the simple reason I want them to be here. But if they want to leave they are free to do so." I said looking around. No one stood up from their seats. Seeing that everything is set I started ,"Hashirama. How old do you think I am?"

Hashirama looked confused at this question. Mito however was quick to grab the implications and said," If what I think is true then you are atleast 300 years old."

Looking at her I smiled,"Indeed I once did visit Uzushio to save its people from dying from a rare chakra disease. But I am quiet older than that. My true age is somewhere beyond thousands".

There was a collective gasp of air around the room. Raising my hand to stop the incoming questions I said," I will answer your questions after my talk is finished."

Looking back at them I continued," I have lived from before the era of the sage of six paths. I have seen him grow and become strong. I have seen him battle the gods and gain his strength. I hold knowledge about this world that you will die to know. I know things that will change and shape the destiny of this world. Let me tell you the truth of the world." I sounded a little mysterious at the end and was pleased to see everybody's attention on me.

" It all started when an otherworldly being came on earth.....

( I am not writing everything. Here everything will be said as it is except for the part of zetsu and Kaguya who is with mc,also not about the transmigration of Indra and Ashura thing.)

After the story was finished, it took a few minutes for the people to accumulate everything that they have heard. Finally Tobirama spoke up, " Do you have any proof to support what you said. Although you are powerful you connot expect us to believe everything that you say".

"Fair enough." I said. Closing my eyes I opened my eyes to show them a three tomoe Sharingan. I pushed more chakra into it and it shifted to an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and after that a Rinnegan.

The responses I got were satisfactory. The Uchiha clan leader nearly had a heart attack seeing my eyes and Hashiram's eyes widened. The rest of the people were also shocked.

Closing my eyes I opened them again to show a pure white eye with no pupils in it. This time the Hyuga clan head nearly fell off his seat. I poured more chakra into the eyes and it transformed into the Tenseigan.

"This is the next form of the Byakugan. Although the Hyuga clan here doesn't have the purity of blood required to awaken it." The Hyuga clan head looked crestfallen and sadness bagan pouring out of his cells.

" Apart from this I can take you to the moon and show you the Otsutsukis that live there. The descendents of Hamura are currently residing there."

"Hashirama do you know why you are so strong??." I asked him. He looked clueless to this and I continued," As I have told you the sons of the sage of the six paths had a fued on the succession of the sages legacy. When they died their chakra kept on reincarnating again and again. In this era you are the host of Ashura's chakra while Madara is the host of Indra's chakra. In a sense you both are brothers. And this is also the reason for you unnatural strength. Do not doubt you strength though. You are strong ,it's just you had a better kunai than everyone else.."

Hashirama nodded his head and kept silent. He was still going through all this information. Tobirama asked me directly," Why are you disclosing these information now. What is it you want from us?"

I mailed inwardly." There will be a huge war in the future. I need soldiers who can fight for me. I am strong and I will grow stronger but I cannot be everywhere everytime.i need people I can trust and can rely on. My purpose of showing myself to the world and to come here today is to invite you to join the ranks of my army and fight for the future of this world. To fight for the future of humanity. To fight for the future of your existence."

By the end of my speech, many had their eyes widened. They did not expect that the threat was so great that even I would need their help. Hashirama stood up," if it is as you say then this is a fight that we have to take part in. We will help you with our full support.But I hope you will not harm this village or its people."

" I have no intention of doing so. My battle with you was simply to make sure you take me seriously. Continue to grow stronger. Don't worry about your village . I promise you on my name that I will protect this village from all exterior threats. I will form a platoon of 10 commanders where my strongest forces will be. I hope to see some of you there. " Saying this I opened a portal behind me and walked through it. " Goodbye. Until we meet again".

Sometimes later

" Big brother ,can we really trust that guy."

"You saw his strength didn't you. He crushed me and Madara without even using his full strength. If such a character is asking for help them the situation is worse than we could imagine. Leaders of the different clans ,please go to your respective clans and tell them about the situation. We must grow in strength to fight this war. As of this moment, the very survival of our world is at stake." The clan leaders nodded their head and took their leave.

The rest of the elemental world although not knowing what happened, the KAGES of the respective villages felt a shift. As if a great change has taken place. Although will it be for better or worse they could not tell.
