I do not own Naruto

Moiya Hatake... Sasuke is one of the heroes...

Fatal Wolf 117... Maybe he will, remember he and Naruto have issues to settle between them anyhow...

Rasengan 86... Who knows? Maybe...it depends on the Kyuubi'd mood.

Chapter 51

“What do you mean breaking free?” Sasuke asked. The woman known as Amaretsu simply smiles and beckons him to come back. In doing so, the little girl immediately latches on to him. If the Angel lady was scared, Sasuke-sama would protect them after all...

It is because of the Biju, the Biju were made by the gods from the leakage of life energy by D'Eskel. It was hoped that with theirpresence on this world, that they would be able to infuse and strengthen the seals upon him. The ones thatwe shrine maidensmaintained through our songs...but then my sister...she was betrayed, by her lover as Fate had foretold.

Listening intently, the woman stops for a moment and begins to sing. Her voice clear and sweet, Sasuke remains unaffected, but he watches as the little girl who had grasped his hand feel into a deep slumber.

There are some things that a child should not know.... Allow me to place her on your back. There are other paintings you must see.

Nodding his head and allowing her to help him put the girl on his back. He followed the ethereal beauty towards, the far end on the opposite of the temple. There he saw the images of nine women, each surrounded by the shadows of a tailed beast.

Turning to the image of his companion he is in awe....

She and another, look far too much alike as they stand side by side in a painting. One is surrounded by the image of a being he knows far to well, while the other is surrounded by a great bird with seven tails.

My sister Izanami and my self, I am the one with Seven tailed Biju as my guardian...

“Your sister...”

Was the Maiden for the Nine-tailed Biju. Although she was not the eldest, she was the strongest of us all. That is why she was chosen to be it's partner and caretaker...

“Then why did it attack Konoha...”

It is because the bond between her and her guardian was broken. She replied. Gesturing for him to follow her, Sasuke growls as the image is of a man wearing a cape he knows far to well. It is a black one with red clouds...

I see that you recognize him.

“I do now know him... But I know the cape;it is of an organization called the Akatsuki...”

I see... He was always a vain person.

Puzzled by her comment, Amaretsu smiles at him with a sad gaze.... I see you do not know then Lost One. He is the one who seduced your brother to his side. My sister's lover is the leader of the Akatsuki and now a fellow Immortal, named Shang LiAkatsu.

Now as she begins to speak, someone else was reflecting upon the same words in his thoughts as she did with her voice...

Elsewhere....at the same time

Shang Li becomes alert as somewhere a temple starts to arise. He had found a way to become immortal, thanks to his Master D'Eskel and succeeding in doing so, by forging a bond with the Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Biju.

A powerful being in its own right, as it was, he needed to break the bond between them, to start the unraveling of the seal placed upon D'Eskel. According to the dreams, that the greater God Demon had been sending, the only way to do that would be through the Nine-tailed Fox.

Break its bond with his Maiden and allow the Biju to become independent.

He succeeded...he succeeded far beyond his wildest dreams. The Kyuubi being the first and foremost of the Biju couldn't help but resonate with the other eight. Forcing its anger and hatred on the others at what the Kitsune constituted a betrayal. It wasn't long after wards that each of the others broke off with their Shrine Maiden.

Leaving the women vulnerable to D'Eskel's mind...

But what happened was, although the Biju were free and roaming independently. They still knew their duty. The Tailed beasts would spread their influence across the world. It was thanks to their presence, that the chakra that the world had originally lost, and died with was starting to be reborn...

That is when his Master started to panic...

D'Eskel knew that as long as the Tailed Beasts started to infuse their chakra with the land, it would prove his end. This world was already through his own designs absorbing his power and weakening the seals that were of the old world's chakra.

But now, as the Biju walked the land, respecting it in their own ways, the old chakra was dispersing and being replaced with their own. Since D'Eskel's power had long since brought life in its own way to return to this world, they were helping to weaken the seals strength against him.

Kyuubi and the other Biju though, in accordance to their nature...were strengthening the seals with their power though as they roamed.

And considering they were made from his power by the Gods...well D'Eskel was fighting himself essentially. It only further trapped him as the seals were designed to do.

So for many years, the Greater demon god had thought.

Then it had simply hit him....remove the Biju from the equation. As he was sealed...so should they...

Hence, his disciple was given a charge. A charge to create something in his likeness, with the power he would lend him. Shang Li, was all too happy to oblige. It took hundreds of years and when he was done....

It became the beginnings of Akatsuki. Ninjas from all over, strong and powerful seeking what they can not have had begun to take notice of Shang Li. And how he never aged...

Sasori came...the Zetsu...Kakuzu and others...

Each one of the nine men was a ninja from a village housing or having been attacked by one of the Biju or its carrier. They were given promises of the same power and immortality that he himself had received.

Of course he had no intention of giving that to them... Still it saved him a hassle as he was saving one of the most important jobs for last.

Destroying the only one of the nine, that has the power to stop it....

The Kyuubi no Yoko... Although nine separate beasts, each one had specific powers. Their tails signifying what they originally started with, it was only the Ninth, which the Gods had created as a Fail-safe device.

Should, D'Eskel ever break free, the Kyuubi knew what it must do....

Self-destruct...

First made, and first created, the Kyuubi when it was still a one tail had an added addition included in its matrix. The power of the Gods themselves was the reason why it had the Ninth tail. When it explodes, the Kyuubi dies, not only will it release its own Chakra, but their power.

In a sense destroying all lifeincluding....D'Eskel< i>... For you see he may be one god...but thanks to the Kyuubi's resonation ability. When the Nine-Tails releases his power...

It would be imminent destruction for the entire planet...
