RR:
Dragonman180: You are a very good reader. You pick up things really quickly, however you are slightly misinfomed and you'll find out why in this chapter. I figure that not many are like you and I, some details people leave out of their story because they missed that information or read over it, but you are different unlike others you managed to remember that Kakashi said that the Uchiha were probably deprived from the Hyuuga, I have read stories that missed this aspect as well as others, I however remembered as well, so you need not worry.
On with the story...
Akatsu was very pleased. He now had three very powerful specimens for his creation, he was displeased by the performance of seven of his demons, but one was as powerful as the ninjas. Akatsu there. He could see the potential that they had, but they had not reached it like the three who fought the demons.
"Well now I suppose that your friends have won." Akatsu said.
"Damn right they did!" Kyoudai said. Akatsu smirked.
"Then I suppose as soon as I bring them here I will grant you the power I promised, right?" Akatsu said. Everyone nodded eager to receive the power that was promised to them. Akatsu gathered a lot of energy and right in front of them Zendaimimon, Kyoujaku, and Inzen appeared right in front of them. Inzen had a head in his hand and he had a very insane look on his face. Kyoujaku was lying on the floor and Cerberus was also there, but he was sitting up not lying down. Zendaimimon was looking away from them so they could only see his back, but they knew he was contemplating things since that is what he always does. Inzen dropped that the head and looked sadistic . Everyone knew what that look meant, He was ready to kill. Inzen looked around the room, he was sensing their chakra levels looking for the strongest. He recognized them all and when he looked at Zendaimimon his eyes narrowed.
"You! It's your fault I have been limited so long. If those seals weren't on my body all this power would have been mine for so long. I will kill you!" Inzen launched himself at Zendaimimon, his chakra surrounding him power flowing freely. Zendaimimon didn't even flinch, by the looks of it he was just thinking. Right before his attack hit Inzen was stopped in midair. Everyone was surprised, but then they were lifted into the air beneath them glyphs on the ground were glowing brightly.
"So you all came looking for information, and I offered you power for passing my test. I have decided that I will give you knowledge, although this knowledge you all know I just want to make sure it is accurate. All but one of you is from Ikioikakure which was destroyed a couple of days ago. You were all the strongest of your village yet you were gone on a mission. Well now, I guess I should let you in on a little secret. The people who destroyed your village is a group of ninjas, the strongest the world has ever seen. They are called the Akatsuki, my personal elites." All the ninjas in the air gasped and stared blindly at him. Just then ten figures in black cloaks dropped down right behind him and kneeled down. The cloaks they wore were all black except for the red clouds near the bottom. (Gasp) "And the last one, the one not from Ikioikakure. You were created to be a protector of a very prestigious clan, but you were too powerful so they tried to destroy you, but you escaped. And now you are neither part of the elite clan nor from another you are truly alone." He then looked at the group as a whole. "Your village Ikioikakure was producing stronger and stronger ninjas, I couldn't risk being destroyed before I complete my ultimate goal." Zendaimimon interrupted.
"You intend to create the ultimate destructive being to abide by your every command. You are creating portals to the Youma realm and are merging Youkai energy with other beings here in this realm trying to forge your ultimate pet." Zendaimimon said harshly. Akatsu smirked at how intelligent Zendaimimon was. "This was a test for those beings and they failed, but you now have different test subjects that you intend to use just as those poor creatures were used. There is a flaw to your analysis however, humans have free will we can choose to serve you or not." Zendaimimon said as he analyzed the glyphs on the floor though he was discrete so nobody noticed.
"You are wrong. I have an ability to influence all beings so that they will do anything I tell them to do. And as soon as I infuse Youkai energy into you all. I will put the Kiokuryoku Kanri JuinJutsu on you all then I will have the perfect beings." Akatsu said and he put his hands into the tiger seal and glyphs on the ground grew brighter and brighter and the group of ninjas felt their bodies start to burn from the inside as a fierce and unnatural power entered their bodies filling and maximizing their power. The sudden onslaught awakened Kyoujaku from his sleep. Just waking up he didn't understand what was going on as he saw his comrades glowing different colors and then completely vanish as the powerful color completely surrounded them and him. The Akatsuki and Akatsu could feel all the power increase in the room to unnatural levels. The infusion finished and in place of the ninjas were different beings. They were in different forms. Kyoujaku was in the form a bull, Kudouryoku was a ram, Inzen was a fox, Kunugi was a Tanuki, Kyoudai was a dog, Kiryoku was a wolf, Kengen was lynx, Kensei was a lion, Kennou was a sloth, Kenpei was an eagle, Kenryokusha was a vulture, Kenryoku was a falcon, Kenmon was a koala, Ganriki was a Gorilla, Gen Rei was a tiger, Konjou was a stingray, and Zendaimimon was a… The members of Akatsuki and Akatsu couldn't for the life of them tell what Zendaimimon was. Zendaimimon had jet black leathery wings, his skin was peeling off showing his bone, and his hair went from pure white to light gray.
The members of Akatsuki were amazed by the sheer power that the once human youkai were producing. It seemed that the majority of the youkai were comatose which wasn't uncommon instead it was expected, what wasn't expected was that three of them were wide awake just staring at their new bodies.
"As I expected you three are indeed extraordinary." Akatsu said to Kyoujaku, Inzen, and Zendaimimon. They all looked up at Akatsu. "You will be the best of my creations, think of the amounts of damage we can cause." Akatsu was thinking to far in advance it was too late as the three started moving and shortly after they broke free of the glyphs power. They were in their animal form which was only the size they were before they changed. The members of Akatsuki ran in front of Akatsu as protection. Kyoujaku slammed his front hoof into the ground to make the floor unbalanced for the ninjas, however he was unaware of the drastic increase and his shattered the ground creating a crater and causing the whole tower to rumble as cracks appeared all over the place and the ceiling started to fall. The glyphs lost their power and the other Youkai fell to the ground. Akatsu marveled at the sheer power that was caused by one attack He was completely absorbed he barely noticed he was in danger. Zendaimimon looked everywhere for a way to escape the devastation.
"The power I possess is incredible! I am truly mighty." Inzen roared as he flared up his chakra and destroyed a very large boulder that was falling towards him. The power he emanated was wonderful in Akatsu's eyes. He was foolish and his elites knew it. Suddenly the roof collapsed all together and made an opening. Zendaimimon knew that they could all make it.
"The roof! GO!" Zendaimimon yelled as he used his new wings to force himself into the air. The triplets were used to the air so their bird bodies were easy to control and they flew out the opening. The twins' canine forms didn't slow them down either. Kennou on the other hand felt that moving would be way to much work. His sisters were able to adjust quickly to their feline forms and scooped him and Konjou up and left through the roof via falling pieces. Kenmon and Kunugi found that their abilities still worked in their new forms with an increased rate of success so escape was easy for them. The brothers Kyoujaku and Kudouryoku were nowhere near under control of their new forms as everyone else and thus they were just attacking the falling boulders with their horns, that was until Ganriki grabbed them in one arm and used the other and her feet to climb out the hole. Gen Rei was scared, she wasn't capable of comprehending this type of situation. So she did all she could to dodge as boulder after boulder fell around her. Inzen smirked at her and used his Chakra to blast himself through the opening. All the members of Akatsuki including Akatsu jumped through the opening leaving only a terrified little tiger.
Outside they were all on the roof waiting for everyone to come out when the villains appeared and Gen Rei hadn't Zendaimimon became worried and flew right back into the hole to get her. The hole closed up behind him. Zendaimimon flew swiftly through the tower his only thought on the little girl that they had brought with them on a stupid little excursion. He made it to the room and saw her dodging the falling boulders and he realized that they were trapped. He quickly flew down and grabbed the little tiger and held her close to his chest and covered both of them with his wings preparing for the tower to collapse and so it did.
The ones on the roof quickly jumped off the roof as the tower started to fall to the ground. The all used abilities so they would sustain minimal damage at least the ones who didn't have the ability to fly those just went into the air. The tower became just a large pile of rubble. They looked at and were surprised to see a winged figure walking towards them with a tiger in one hand and was dragging Cerberus. The surprising thing was that his ribcage, the bones in his left arm, and the bones in his right leg could all be seen. The flesh in those areas seemed to have peeled off. When Zendaimimon reached his friends he dropped Cerberus and gently put Gen Rei down. He looked directly at Akatsu.
"Hehe. The powers you all have gained is miraculous and someday I will have them, but not yet. I will take them when you are weakened and I will became the most powerful being ever." Akatsu said and started to laugh. Then he and his elites were surrounded by a black orb and when the orb disappeared they were gone.
"I can not wait." Inzen then looked directly at Zendaimimon. "I wish to kill you. And I will, just wait. This will be the dawn of a new age I am no longer the friendly Inzen. I have finally been able to destroy his innocence. I will now be known as The All Powerful Kyuubi!" Kyuubi said and gathered chakra to his feet and disappeared in flash of red. All of his old friends looked downtrodden.
"I guess none of us can be known as who we used to be now that we are youkai." Kudouryoku said. "I guess from this day forward I will be known as Ohitsuji. I guess it matches me." he said and he looked around to see everyone's thoughtful eyes.
"I will be Ijime no Oushi." Kyoujaku said.
"I will be Sabaku no Shukaku." Kunugi said as he looked up.
"I'm Kyouken no Inu!" Kyoudai said.
"And Ippikiookami!" Kiryoku said.
"I will be Yamaneko." Kengen said
"And I Yukina no Shishi!" said Kensei.
"I suppose Ki Ran would be best for me." Kennou said.
"I am Washi!" Kenpei announced.
"And I am Taka!" Kenryoku said.
"And I will be Hagetaka!" Kenryokusha said.
"Koara." Kenmon said simply.
"Ono no Gorira will be my name." Ganriki said as she flexed her ape muscles.
"I will be Umi, Umi no Akaei." Konjou said tiredly.
"I wish to be Aka Aka To Oko Tta Hi no Tora!" Gen Rei said and smirked at the looks she got. They all looked expectantly at Zendaimimon who had yet to say what he would go by now. He was just kneeling staring at the ground.
"I made a promise that I intend to keep, thus I will no longer be known as Zendaimimon I will be Kaizoku no Dokuro no Kaizoku Ou! And this promise I made means that I must part with you all. It is something you should also think of, our village was destroyed we are no longer acceptable members of society. It would be best to find a way to use your new abilities to your advantage." Kaizoku said. Everyone watched him leave. Then they all started to leave, to find their destiny, to improve their skills, or to learn what their new bodies can do. And thus the history of the Youkai began, some people in the future will talk about stories of a very powerful fox ravaging a forest, or stories of a phantom pirate ship coming and taking everything without anyone ever noticing, possibly stories of a falcon, eagle and vulture having weird migrating patterns, or stories about a lynx and lion traveling through prairies with a sloth on their backs, the not so weird stories of a wolf and a dog attacking each other trying to find the best, maybe a bull and ram attacking mountains and destroying large portions, even stories of a wise woman traveling in the woods often seen as a koala, in the deserts there will be reports of a monk who is trying to master the arts of sand, stories of a gorilla so strong that it can take on five families of gorillas ad keep moving, A tiger acting like a child with a new toy, or a stingray trying to start a large school of jelly fish to attack the sharks. Later in the future that same fox will became the most feared being in the world, The phantom ship will be known as the Reaper 'The Ravager of the Sea' and the captain will be known as the legendary pirate king said to have visited hell and returned to send more people to take his place in the pits of hell, The monk will have been sealed within a tea pot because another monk saw his true form, The great and powerful Stingray that after he won the war on the sharks disappeared, all the stories tell of how the animals of legend grew to enormous sizes and seemed to be unstoppable. Or so Kyuubi thought.
