45 Chapter 44: 10 years later! (1/2)

10 years have passed since the nine-tails attack. Nothing major happened and the world was still at overall peace even though it was just temporary. Danzo hadn't tried anything with the Uchiha Clan, yet which was odd but Madara didn't hate it! Danzo's stalling just gave himself more time to improve himself.

Speaking of Madara, his progress was astounding! His team-team 9-never found a substitute for Kushina, so they ended up doing missions without a jonin. Normally, this wasn't a problem but at the time only Madara was a chunin! Now, 10 years later, they were all Jonin and they each had their own nickname with a bounty in the bingo book.

Shiori's bounty was 100 million ryo and her nickname 'Silver Seraph'. She got this monicker because she adorned mostly silver items as she like pairing it up with her earring that her Madara gave her!

Haruto's bounty was 300 million ryo and he had two monickers but the one most commonly used was 'Aurelian Hunter'. He got this nickname because of his keen perception and intelligence! Also, his golden eyes also played a part in this nickname as well. His other nickname was when he was paired with Madara! The monicker was 'Solar Sentinel' and he got this because he would always be Madara's support on the direct battlefield. 'Solar' came from his eyes and sentinel came from like already said when he supported Madara.

Shiori was upset when she learned of Haruto's second name, and they even ended having a childish bet with each other. The result in which Shiori ended up losing and she looked so sad at that moment that Madara had to comfort her! After, a little consoling she didn't care anymore. Though, she was a little tilted that she had lost the bet.

Madara's bounty was 900 million ryo and his monicker was 'Temporal Paragon' or 'Time Paragon'. He really wanted to hide his Mangekyo abilities but his eyes gave off such an obvious hint to his abilities that Madara couldn't do nothing about it! He killed all of his enemies who witnessed his abilities but at some point, there was a hidden spy during one of his solo missions that was extremely good at stealth.

This spy didn't know all of his abilities, but he only knew of one which was his ability to take time from other people! Even, that one ability alone granted him much emphamy but what really granted him the 'paragon' title was when Madara had to face against 200 shinobi which was a combined force of a few minor villages.

He was 12 at that time and had saved a lot of 'time' from his enemies, criminals, and secretly some of Danzo's subordinates. Danzo most likely lost around 20% of his forces because of Madara's targeting, however no one knew that!

The 200 shinobi whenever Madara apperaed by himself felt insulted by the leaf and promised him a painful death. Madara could understand their feelings but he really didn't give a shit and simply told them...

"I alone am enough for you weaklings." His voice was cold. The gaze of his eyes sent shivers down the spines of every shinobi present but one shinobi that was brave enough screamed to break his fear. Then, he charged at Madara and he even got close enough for his kunai to touch Madara's body!

However.

All that shinobi saw and what every other shinobi witnessed was that attacking shinobi returning back to his original position! At first, they thought that they were in a genjutsu and all of the shinobi tried to break it. But, that didn't work because it wasn't a genjutsu!

Realizing this the combined forces came to a consensus and rushed towards Madara together. 200 of them rushed his position but right when they were about to succeed in their attack they returned to their orginial positions! The fear which was subtle before now sprung forth and became the fear of being controlled.

These shinobi's feeble attempts persisted for 4 hours but because of his Madara's jutsu no time at all truly passed. Madara lost 4000 units of time energy with the repetitive use of his technique, but he quickly regained the energy and more! By the end of the whole fiasco, Madara gained 12,000 units of time energy and his bounty also skyrocketed!

Over the last ten years, the team 9 that was under Kushina became imphamis to the world and no one didn't know their name!

'Whistle~ I didn't realize I did so much. Oh! My Mangekyo Sharingan did reach sage level. Maybe my theory from 10 years ago actually worked! I haven't gone blind yet and if anything, I feel like my eyes are clearer than ever!'

[It's because your eyes have been linked to your soul. It happens to rinnegan users as well from I can assume.]

'Really? Actually, that would make sense. Those were the eyes of the 'sage' of six paths so maybe whenever someone achieves the rinnegan they will level up their ocular abilities to the sage level!'

[Most likely the case. I've also concluded that while having the Indra and Asura chakra might help it isn't necessarily needed for one to achieve the rinnegan! Those two combinations though do make it a whole lot easier though.]

'I see. Anything else you want to share?'

[Sure...I want to let you know that it might be in your interest to finally use those two-skill pill that you have. I'm sure it would be great combination for one of your mangekyo abilities.]

'I'll do that later. You know I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't intentionally learn anything new until I reached mastered on all of the basic 5 chakra natures!'

[Sigh~ Why the hell did you do that?]

'To master the basics obviously.'

[Fair enough.]
