Behind the Mask of Strength
Madara bowed his head. Izuna, if you're watching, please do me a favor. Turn away from me, just for a moment. Turn away and don't look at me. Big Brother's about to do something he's never done before, something he doesn't want you to see. So, please, don't look at me. Don't witness my shame. Tears slid silently down his unstained face and trickled to the floor. His breathing hitched softly in his chest. He tried to retain his scowl, but it was over taken by sorrow. He was slowly brought to his knees.
"Madara," a soft voice called faintly. Madara jerked his eyes up, trying to wipe away his tears quickly. Through his watery, blurred vision he
Long, long ago, when the world had only just begun, people gathered and lived harmoniousy. Their numbers, having not yet become exceedingly large, were easy to maintain. They lived healthy lives by consuming the fruits of several plants. Animals, if not caught by the hunters, would sometimes come willingly to aid or lend themselves when there time came, in order to provide food. Even spirits, both good and bad, roamed the earth with mankind.
All the people of the world lived in two villages and knew only a dozen miles from all sides of their keep, though not of each other. However, that's all they needed to know, for they had everything righ
Hashirama couldn't believe it. He had caught Kijima! The boy was trapped in a net, dangling from a strong tree branch. His wrists were bound together and a blade he had been carrying was lying on the ground a few feet below him. He had dropped it when he was snapped up. The rope around his wrists had made it impossible for his arms to reach through the net and grab it. He was gnawing at his bindings.
So that's what that noise was. No wonder he hasn't been around the village, I caught him in my net! Hashirama watched as Kijima tired himself out, struggling against his confinements. I should run and go tell the shaman. Hashirama went to run ba
Hashirama's eyes were wide and he shrunk away from the fire. Demon magic! He is a demon! He looked back to Madara. "D-demon magic... that was demon magic!" the brunnette breathed. Madara narrowed his eyes at him. "You're a demon," Hashirama said, almost unbelievingly.
"You're an idiot," Madara stated.
"It's not magic, Silly! It's jutsu!" Izuna laughed.
"J-jutsu?" Hashirama tried to regain his composure. He looked between the giggling four-year-old and his glaring brother. "What is 'jutsu'?"
"It's a power that everyone has. It's a spiritual force within us all and it can be weilded in different shapes and forms based on each person's natur
Hashirama felt panic trying to take hold of his stomache but he forced himself to ignore it as his mind struggled for a way around the situation. Izuna quickly picked himself up from the dirt and looked straight at Tobirama, then to Hashirama. His eyes were glowing red with the sharingan. He watched Tobirama as though he were a rabid animal as he cautiously moved closer to Hashirama.
Hashirama knew he couldn't expect a four year old to understand the gravity of the situation. Tobirama had a look of horror as he recognized a demon.
"Help," Izuna tugged at Hashirama's sleeve but kept his eyes on the dangerous white-haired boy. Hashirama glanc

"I think that was the biggest fish I've ever seen," Hashirama chuckled.
"Yeah? I think you're right. Damn thing nearly ate me," Madara wasn't as jovial about the situation. Hashirama was a full fledged hunter for his village, and was accustomed to tracking big game nearly everyday. This week he had been given a few days of vacation and he decided to invite Madara on a fishing trip. The two had caught plenty of fish and enjoyed themselves for four days. They revisited their memories of the trip as they journeyed home.
"I can't believe it lived in that small lake."
"I can't
"What do you have to say in you're defense?" an elderly man sat at an elevated desk. He was dressed in a black judge's habit and held a gavel in his hand as he stared down at the defendent. This was the village leader, Kentetsu.
Hashirama was in the middle of the court room, wrists bound together, staring back into the judge's cold eyes. He had been charged with treason, escaping the law, and for acting as an accomplice in all of Kijima's crimes. The evidence had been laid out before the entire court. The witness was indeed Chikuru, who saw him warn Madara of the danger. Chikuru now stood at the back of the room.
"You're Honor, if I may. We
True Beauty
Shino sat on a branch on a tree nearby the village, watching the sunset. Sunsets were mainly the only few things Shino looked forward to. Training had became boring because Kurenai had them do the same training drill everyday. Shino signed as another person from the village walk by calling him the 'creepy bug boy'. Sometimes even his own teammate, Kiba thought of him as such, but he didn't tell Shino these because in ways feared him.
'Who cares what that dirty dog boy thinks of me.' he thought, 'He probably drinks from the toilet just like that mutt of his.'
Kiba had always secretly thought he was creepy ever since he and

Itachi watched as Kisame put out the red-orange flames of the camp's fire. From what the rumors said was that his little brother had taken to the Kyuubi holder. So Itachi could kill two birds with one stone, he smirked this was going to be interesting. Yes very interseting indeded.
"Alright then." Kisame swung the giant sword on to his back. Itachi placed the woven hat on his head then headed East towards Konoha.

Kabuto raced down the steps into the dark underground cavern, that'd they'd made their base.
"Orochimaru-sama." He bowed as he entered the main chambers.

"W-what..?!" Leader said, shocked at her answer, "What the Hell are you talking about?! Of course you exist your right here, standing right infront of me!"
"According to almost every village record, I, Jinchuu, do not exist and never have." Jinchuu said, her voice lacking any emotion whatsoever.
"Then is Jinchuu even your real name? Or is that some sort of alias?" Leader questioned.
"My real name...It's Raiiri...But, to the others I am Jinchuu. Do not correct them. This isn't even my real appeaence..." She said looking at her hand, with a odd smile.
"Raiiri, then..What is your real appearence?" Leader questioned.
