For a moment the two sets of eyes gazed unto each other. Never before had two sets of the Mangekyo been pit against each other. The ultimate power of the Uchiha clan faced itself in a struggle for superiority. Streaks of blood mirrored each other on the cheeks of Madara and Igaku. It was silent. The calm before the storm.
Without warning Igaku's hands burst into motion stringing together a series of hand seals. Madara easily recognized the famed seals of the Uchiha's test of strength. He replicated Igaku's movements and inhaled a deep breath.
Madara/Igaku: Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!
Both released giant blasts of fire at the same moment which clashed violently in the center of the leader's office. The walls and ceiling were set aflame as the fireballs battled each other. They were evenly matched. Without warning Igaku's orange flames became black. Amaterasu began to eat through Madara's fireball. He quickly reacted by releasing his own set of black fire. The black flames struggled against each other. Realizing the futility of this match up both Uchiha abandoned their attacks causing the black flames to fall silently to the ground were they immediately ate through the floor.
Igaku turned and inhaled again. This time instead of release flames, he released several blades of wind that tore through the wall that was behind him.
Igaku: Wind Style: Roaring Claws!
With the hole opened up he jumped through, abandoning the burning building. He landed in a courtyard below, lit by the bright light of the moon above. Madara appeared in the opening he had just created. The flames behind him gave him the look of a devil, a truly ominous appearance.
Madara: Igaku, abandon this struggle! You're time is at an end. And there is not a thing you can do about it! Our eyes may be matched, but our bodies are far apart. You're old frail body cannot, and WILL NOT keep up with mine.
Igaku: You're right about our bodies child. Your youth will overpower my age. However....you're are dead wrong about our eyes being matched you fool!
Without warning Madara felt a searing pain in both of his eyes. He fell to a knee in agony.
Madara: Wha-...What the Hell is going on?!
Madara felt a pressure building up with his eyes. It grew and grew, the pain becoming more intense. His mind went blank with pain. An explosion of blood erupted from his sockets.
Igaku: You see, your eyes are weak Madara! They were incapable of containing the power of the Mangekyo.
Madara suddenly felt the presence of Igaku behind him.
Igaku: Its over you arrogant child. Your death will only be followed by an eternal darkness.
Igaku raised a kunai to Madara's throat.
Madara (thinking): No...no! What is this?! My eyes.....MY EYES! This can't be real. Thats it! It must be an illusion! Relax. It isn't real. An illusion is all it is.
As he sat there he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He shut his eyelids and cleared his thoughts. The world began to warp around him. The kunai held to his throat faded and Igaku's presence faded. He opened his eyes to see Igaku staring up at him from the courtyard below. Sweat dripped down Madara's face as he breathed heavily.
Igaku: Impressive. To think someone as inexperienced as you could break free of my Tsukiyomi. But don't fool yourself, you're still outmatched.
Madara: Tsukiyomi......you bastard.
Madara stood up and gathered himself. The illusion was like nothing he had ever seen before, the physical affect it had was tremendous. It seemed he had underestimated Igaku. It was true, his eyes were inferior to Igaku's. He would have to rely on his body if he wanted to win this battle.
Seemingly disappearing from view Madara sprung into action. He appeared to the left of Igaku and strung together and almost instantaneous set of hand seals. Igaku was caught off guard by Madara's speed.
Madara: Earth Style: Pharaoh's Tomb!
Earth sprang up around Igaku forming a sarcophagus like structure around his body. Without hesitation Madara released several kunai with exploding tags attached that dug into the chest of the coffin. He jumped back and triggered the explosions. Smoke billowed and sent chunks of earth flying. A figure shot through the upper portion of the smoke. Igaku's clothing had been blown off his chest revealing a slightly burn upper body. A minor wound.
Igaku was already mid technique when Madara saw him.
Igaku: Fire/Wind Style: Flaming Dragon of the Heavenly Winds!
A stream of wind spilled out of Igaku's mouth taking the form of a long and thin dragon. Adding another hand seal, fire billowed out of Igaku's nostrils and began to swirl around the wind dragon becoming an intense fire and wind combination. Madara quickly raised a wall of thick earth in front of him, but it wasn't enough. The dragon tore through the wall and struck Madara, cutting and burning him while sending him tumbling backwards. He smacked into the wall of the building behind, letting out a cough of blood.
Before Madara could recover Igaku was was upon him kunai in hand. The older man thrust the kunai towards Madara's head. Madara rolled to his left and sprang to his feet as the kunai drove into the wall. He planted his foot and drove forward with tremendous speed ducking down below Igaku. He pushed up and drove his knee up catching Igaku under the chin. Madara kicked his other leg forward catching Igaku in the chest causing Igaku to fall backwards to the ground. Igaku rolled and jumped back releasing three shuriken. Madara parried them with a kunai of his own and again seemed to disappear from view due to his speed. He reappeared behind Igaku and drove the kunai into the old man's spine. Blood spurted out of Igaku's mouth.
Igaku's body immediately burst into flames releasing a violent explosion that burned Madara and forced him flying to the ground where he skidded to a halt.
Madara: A fire clone?! When?! That bastard. . .he must have made it while I was under his Tsukiyomi!
As Madara came to a stop he looked up from his back to see Igaku already overhead.
Igaku: Wind Style: Falling Skies!
Madara: Earth Style: Shell of the Turtle!
A strong burst of concentrated wind shot down from above as earth rose up from the sides of Madara and began to form a dome over his body. But just before the dome could close, part of the incoming wind broke through striking Madara in the chest.
Madara punched through the shell above him and jumped back as Igaku landed. His shirt had been shredded and blood streaked down his chest. Madara was beginning to become unsettled. Things were not going as smoothly as he had originally hoped. He would have to use "that" jutsu. He pulled himself up and wiped the blood from his mouth, seemingly calm and collected.
Madara: I can't believe things have come to this. . .to think a man of your skill would put up such a struggle. Let me tell you a little secret Igaku. Those tablets below our shrine are but an opening chapter to the hidden secrets of our great clan. There are things beyond your capabilities, things that even the elders are unaware of. I'm going to show you one of these secrets. So be honored.
Madara: Hidden Mangekyo Technique: Great Kaleidoscope Execution!
Four large walls rose up around Igaku, on the inside of each wall was the shape of a sharingan. The images began to come to life. Igaku tried to move, but his body was frozen. Not with fear, but something else. Was it the walls? The sharingan began to rotate, spinning rapidly causing Igaku to become disoriented. Suddenly the figures of four people appeared, one in front of each wall.
Igaku: It can't be. . .Miroku. Togetsu. Zibu. Suigon. The four great warriors! What demonic jutsu is this Madara!
Madara let out a chuckle.
Madara: I told you to feel honored. Feel honored that you will be killed by the blades of our heroes past.
The four figures stepped forward. Each one held a blade in both hands point downwards.
Madara: You see. Those who have the blood of the Uchiha coursing through their veins are rendered powerless within those walls. It was a technique created long ago as a special means of execution for traitors. You, in your weakness, have become a traitor to our clan. This is a proper death for you. Good bye, Igaku!
The four Uchiha raised their swords and drove them down towards Igaku's torso. A bright light of energy emitted from within the walls of the secret technique. Madara smirked menacingly.
Madara: Finally. . .this great clan can now begin its conquest of the world! In your death, our clan will be bor-!
The walls violently shattered as a force from within blasted them outwards. An orange figure rose from the debris. It appeared to be etheral, see through. It took the form of a knight around Igaku's body. Madara was stunned.
Madara: Susanoo. . .you bastard! To think you've mastered the Mangekyo to this point!
Igaku breathed heavily from within the armor of Susanoo. Blood steamed down from his open mouth. The pain was intense. Susanoo was the ultimate technique an Uchiha could master, but its price was tremendous. Igaku's knight held a mace in its left hand and a shield in its right. Before this monster, even Madara was powerless.
Igaku: Madara. . .you will not be forgiven for your treachery! The clan will not be ruled by a blood thirsty man such as yourself. Your guidance would only lead our people down a path of darkness! In the darkness the only outcome is to become lost. I won't let you tear this clan apart for your own selfish gains! This is the end!
Susanoo swung forth its mighty mace. Madara stood motionless. He was at a loss. All of his preparation. All of his power. All of his arrogance. It was useless in the face of such a power. The mace cascaded toward him. Was this really the end? Madara closed his eyes, waiting for his inevitable destruction.
