-Someday, in the era that saw the creation of the hidden leaf…-
The Kokuni forest was naturally silent at night.
Located somewhere in the land of fire, and previously one of the most dangerous place of the continent because of all the hidden Uchihas and Senjus on it, the whole place grew to become less of a death-trap after the end of the conflict and more of a more “plain boring” forest.
Of course, people liked it that way, since they could now peacefully travel without some emo ninja slicing their throat or seeing a bunch of nature-lovers ganging up on them. Therefore, it was now commonly used for fancy promenades and other activities, with a large part of the Kokuni forest being still full of traps waiting for an innocent bystander to come in.
But these traps weren’t a danger for the man who was currently walking in the woods, his trip was rather easy, since the night time meant that fewer people would get in his way today. Killing anything else than some of the most powerful Senju wasn’t troublesome at all for him, and he certainly wouldn’t have nightmares over it, but he wanted to be at peace.
The man was however, recognizable thanks to his long, barbarian hairs, his black (or rather purple-ish) robe imprinted with the symbol of a red and white fan, the massive gunbai that he wielded and, naturally, his eyes, which the moon conveniently shone upon.
Madara Uchiha.
However, the man wasn’t here to defy his rival and destroy the Leaf. Not yet, he had to put his bloodlust (and need to have a good fight) aside for this night, he was instead searching for the mighty power of the Kyuubi, which could give him a radical edge for the future fight against Hashirama, plotting to finally defeat his former friend and burn down the place that he once called his “dream.”
Of course, his plan was more complex than a mere “destroy everything” operation but his goal here was to find the Nine-Tails, an easy task since the beast was a giant even amongst the behemoths called “tailed beasts”, subdue it, which would be obviously an easy task for him, and attempts to attack the hidden leaf with him.
However, the mightiest of all Uchihas saw something in the corner of his eye. While he could activate his sharingan and keep it activated for weeks thanks to his massive chakra reserves, the patriarch chose not to use it for such a simple “task” (walking trough the woods was something that everybody, ninja or civilian, could accomplish), and thus, identifying the shadow was out of his reach with normal eyes.
After activating the mighty dojutsu however, Madara could clearly see that something was lurking around here, and seemingly fleeing. Quickly identifying the fleeing stalker as an unknown entity, the Uchiha gave chase. He was doing it slowly though, not wishing to spoil some fun while it appeared.
Despite his slowed down movements and lack of any real motivation, the godly Uchiha was still slowly catching up without any efforts, while the other “attacker” was seemingly using all its might to keep some distance between it and the Uchiha man, although he seemingly headed for a cul-de-sac.
“You seems to lack intelligence, beast. Trying to hunt me shall be the last mistake of your life.”
Arms folded, the demigod kept following until the dark thing just… escaped. As if, it vanished when it came in contact with a gigantic boulder, which was seemingly guarding something in the rock. Madara merely groaned at the sight of the rock. While it could impress a weak ninja or a civilian, it would take something much greater to even stop him for a few seconds.
Madara’s massive gunbai, which took the live of more than an hundred of senjus, had no problems demolishing the structure, opening the way for the transmigration of Indra who saw nothing but a single, mostly empty cave, but a small thing that the cave had was enough to catch his attention.
Inside of the cave, there was a tablet, while it did not interest Madara at first, he soon had to take a lengthier look at it when he realized that it was quite similar to the one in the Naka Shrine, with his Eternal Mangeykyo detecting the usual symbols associated with the legendary sage of six paths.
While he kept his guard up, not afraid of being stabbed from behind by the black being (which was a ridiculous scenario) but not liking the prospect of the thing being around, the ancestor of Sasuke began to read the tablets with his dojutsu after approaching. While the normal human eye could not read this tablet, the sharingan could pick it up, although comprehending it was painful, with the unfortunate Uchiha basically reading gibberish with a few understandable words there and there.
His eternal eyes had no such problems though, and while some parts still came off as insane gibberish, he could easily read whatever that was.
It spoke about the Shinju.

-Kingdom of Daishonin, a millennia ago-
The small, and thus very agile and nimble Kaguya ran in the hallways of the castle, dodging various ministers, counsellors or servants in a surprisingly effective way, even if her movements were rather clumsy, as excepted of a small child.
She lacked the horns, additional eyes and other features which she would eventually gain over the years but she still had a very pale skin and red hairs, even if her facial features were otherwise normal. The 3-years old turned her head toward the hallways and saw her “nanny”, a middle-aged woman, rushing to grab her.
Giggling, the little girl kept running in the hallways, it seems that she was being pursued because she rolled herself onto some dirt earlier, which pretty much sucked for everyone in the castle because Jin Korikame was going to visit it, and Kaguya needed to be there as a princess, even if she would say nothing.
“Princess Kaguya !” yelled the woman for the 67th time, with her only response being a taunting grimace from the young child, who turned her attention toward her care-taker long enough to kept running toward a cul-de-sac, realizing it only after she met the wall head on.
Yelling the name of the future queen a second time, the servant quickly took her in her arms. Partly because she needed some comfort and partly because she did not want for Kaguya to escape her grasp a second time, even if the princess suddenly calmed herself all of a sudden upon seeing outside of the window.
Sighing, Bashin Amizaku calmed down. As a servant, she knew that she needed to go easy on the young princess, not because her father would kill the care-taker (he was never there for her in fact, or at least, not enough) if she somehow made the young Ootsutsuki upset, but simply because princess Kaguya knew how to scream in a way that would make a famous yellow-haired warrior from another series proud.
“Wut’s dis ?”
Kaguya pointed toward the horizon, or rather, the massive tree which towered over the continent. Not even the Kalakai mountains could compare to the Shinju in height, if someone managed to reach the top of it, they could see the other continents beyond the sea, from what people said.
“It’s the Shinju Tree. Princess.”
“Wut’s a sheenjue ?”
Everybody had such a question in mind. Truth to be told, no one knew what the holy tree really was. From what travellers says, there wasn’t any others structures like this outside of the continent, and people were rather suspicious of the theory of a good soil being the reason behind the height and mass of the god tree.
The following words are what Madara will read, although in a more formal, mature tone;
“Well. Some said that the Shinju isn’t a giant tree at all. It’s, in the fact, the god of our world, when reality was forming, it appeared and created the universe, than the stars, than the planets, than life. And the beast settled in one planet to watch over some of its creations, watching them grows over eons.”
“It never intervened but it’s wrath was divine, the Shinju separated the sky and the earth with a roar, made mountains rise with brute strength alone, created the seas with a thought and shaped the world in 5 days, and therefore, no one dared to provoke it.”
“Once his task was done, it transformed into a tree and went into a slumber, only waking up when Humanity is in a great crisis.”
She knew the princess well enough to continue, since a question about the chakra fruit would come soon enough. She began to walk toward the room of the princess, so that she could put in a fresh kimono and the crown.
“It’s a fruit that give you fantastic powers if you eat it. However, there’s a taboo on it since the god tree is a sacred place, and it’s impossible to climb on it. And even if you do, the teeth of the person who try to eat it for a bad reason will rot before he can proceeds.”
“How does it taste ?”
“No one knows.”
She playfully stroked the top of Kaguya’s head, with the princess just calmly looking at her, or at least, she puffed her cheeks and looked at her servant with a “give me moar answers” look. However, Bashin just smiled and just proceeded to give the crown to a now clean Kaguya, it wasn’t the King’s own but it still looked pretty “royal” and stuff, with jewels embedded in it. It, otherwise, looked like a stereotypical silver crown, small enough to fit on the small head of the future rabbit demon but large enough to look oversized.
“Wut am aie supposed tto do ?”
“You’ll just need to be there and watch dear, do not be intimidated.”
She lifted the princess up and walked to the throne room, while the Ootsutsuki princess put her thumbs in her mouth, occasionally staring at guards or waiters. The hallways of the castle were decorated with the portraits of former monarchs of the country, all of whom were painted at knight with the moon in view. The difference between each generation was clear, with the father of Kyokukei looking like a normal human (albeit with small horns and silver skin) and his great-great- grandfather having spikes everywhere on his face, a third eye on his throat and razor-sharps teeth, with an “darker” grey skin.
They finally came to the throne room, with Kyokukei talking to a random guard. The throne of the king was the tallest, fancier and larger of them all, catching the attention of anyone in the room. The throne of the queen, Takane Hokuzo, was smaller and rounder, albeit still royal-looking, and Kaguya’s throne was a small, almost normal chair.
The king’s own royal chair was also golden, with several red jewels embedded on it while the other two were blue and had some white dots on it. The queen, meanwhile, looked at Kaguya with a warm smile as the princess sat on her throne, between her father and “mother”’s.
Quietly taking some steps back (albeit she was still nearby), everyone in the room progressively got quieter as the large doors opened, to reveal the famous Jin Korikame, king of one of the warring kingdoms, and occasional bamboo cutter.
He looked as fancy as his host, with a green suit of armor (with some red motifs there and there), a red cape (he wanted to came in with his white cape but it got caught in a door when he was leaving and ripped off, which meant that he had to choose a red one), a sheath holding a massive-to-the-point-that-it-compensate-for-something sword (he was having trouble walking because of it), and an haughty air, with a fantastic goatee to match.
He bowed down and stood up as quick as lighting, disliking the idea of looking inferior to someone, and looked at the royal family.
“It is an honor to meet you, lord Tenzen.”
“My name is Kyokukei.”
“Shit.”
He looked at one of his counsellors, blaming his typo on him and turned back with a cool smile, putting the epic fail behind him.
“So. I came here to request your help for the war with Amena. You see, they’ve been overwhelming us for quite a while now, and while our elites are holding up enough to buy time, we cannot hope to take back our lost territory. Surely, an army could come here and invade their territory, forcing them to retreat !”
The king of Daishonin gritted his teeth. Last week, he received the ambassador of Amena, who said that she could use some help to crush Daishiru, and the ambassador of Gozen (a good friend with whom he play tennis) recently came here too to propose an alliance, none of the other kingdoms knew about the other’s visits though.
“Amena has the strongest army for now. What happen if the attack fail ? They’ll have no problems attacking the both of us while we’re recoiling.”
“Do not worry. They’re too cowardly to handle two countries at once !”
“They’ve been handling you and Gozen for hundred of years, and our army is weak.”
“Humph.”
“HEY COUSIN ! WANNA PLAY TENNIS ?!”
Everyone looked as the nearly naked ambassador of Gozen, a rather old man who was barely dressed, came in the room, and everyone froze when the two ambassadors finally noticed each other.
The eyes of the old guy were fixated on his counterpart’s deadly weapon, a huge sword that could easily cleave in half an army of old men like him. The eyes of the ambassador of Daishiru were fixated on the opponent’s deadly weapon, a towel, which could slip and steal the innocence of anyone here for eons to come.
“YOU’RE MEDDLING WITH GOZEN ?!” Asks the ambassador, shielding his eyes for a future reaction.
“YOU’RE MEDDLING WITH DAISHIRU ?” asks the ambassador of Gozen, hiding behind a crate.
The king looked embarrassed, and scratched his chin.
“I do not know this maniacal looking fat-man.”
“HEH !”
Jin, realizing that the situation was awkward, turned around.
“If we manage to somehow reverse the situation, your kingdom will have to fear for its safety ! I do not want to deal with a back-stabbing fool who deals with other kingdoms !”
He tripped on his cape, got up and spat on his counsellor before exiting the castle, followed closely by his confused guards and a disgusted counsellor. The ambassador, meanwhile, went back to the bathroom to hide.
“Good god. Have you seen how I’ve handled that dude ?”
“He just declared that he was going to attack us ! While over half of the country is being used as a battlefield ! Our army isn’t large or trained enough to fight them !”
“It will, since I’m about to use our manpower to form a vast elite !”
“Even if all the men and women in the kingdom became soldiers, we would have less manpower than them !”
“Maybe we could use the chakra fruit ?”
The king looked at Kaguya and laughed, but not the “haha, that was a good joke” kind of laughter but the “you said an atrocious bullshit and you’ll be forever an idiot in my eyes” variant. The Ootsutsuki princess looked on, confused and hurt.
“Haha ! Who are you anyways, little one ? Get out of the seat !”
“That’s our daughter !”
“Ho crap.”
Some servants leaped in and took her away while queen and king were going to duke it out, she never saw her parents for the rest of the day, ate in her own room and slept while various bodyguards were guarding the door or windows, she slept after 4 hours, thinking about the chakra fruit.
And she did well, because she’ll really need the fruit some years in the future, where Amena ragequitted because of the resistance of the kingdom, allowing for Jin’s kingdom to leer at Daishonin.
--
Just to clear it up, Madara read about the Shinju’s origins, the kingdoms and what will happens to Daishonin (it ain’t pretty), instead of reading about the meeting or stuff.
I put such passages to offer some “side-story”, the story is also a bit of an AU.
As always, leave reviews
