PRELUDE: THE REASON FOR MADNESS IS MADDENING

Rain, the flow of life's essence.

Rain has been known to symbolize numerous things over the many generations over the course of time. Life, renewal, peacefulness and many other tranquil emotions can be derived from the sound and nature of rain.

Today, this feeling however is not a joyous nor peaceful feeling, as a boy with blond hair no older than 11 stood by in a pale black robe as the closest individual to family he had ever known was lowered into the cold earth. As he looked on with tears, the child fondly remembered the times with his unofficial grandfather and all he had given him during his short lonely life. As an orphan of the great attack years ago, he wasn't a major focus on the minds of some shinobi, as the carrier of the great beast that attacked, many villagers would love to put him to his end and had tried before. Today however might be different however as all focused equally on their beloved leader, whom they now gave their final farewells.

( 6 days Prior)

"QUIET DOWN NOW!" Exclaimed the leader of the land of iron, the samurai known as Kamda the quick, as he sat down at a table with five other individuals to discuss major uprisings of feuds. The five were the most feared as well as respected people in the great nations, known as the five kages, they trully lead their nations, each with great strength and pride. "The reason of us coming here together today is to settle the issue" growled Kamda "not to rant at one another like children".

"Ohh and what's that Kamda-dono?" Lazily asked the leader of wind (KAZEKAGE) as he sat back in his chair while checking his face for beard hairs a man in his early thirties (or lack thereof as the case may be). "Yes please enlighten us" was the leader of the land of lighting (RAIKAGE) a fat older man in his late forties remark. "The attacks from ninja of your land onto my people" stated an old man in his late sixties known as the leader of the land of fire (HOKAGE) as he pointed to the leader of the land of stones (TSUGIKAGE). "Again, with this Tsugikage-san" said the leader of the land of water (MIZUKAGE), a young woman in her late twenties questioned as she narrowed her vision at the Raikage.

"We shall get revenge for the last great ninja war that we were humiliated at Sarutobi" shouted the Tsugikage as he shoved the table aside and started flipping thorough hand signs.

''What? What are you doing this is a room of peace'' said Kamda in shock as he backed up from the leader of stone and drew his sword. "have you gone mad Tsugikage" cried the Hokage as he jumped out of his chair and got into a defensive stance to counter the incoming attack.

"It's time already ohh well? "smirked the Raikage as he took to the offensive on the wizened Hokage

"What is this madness the war ended 15 years ago!" The Kazekage angrily called out as he stood up to defend against foreign attacks from both Kages.

"Well we shall begin again, let the blood of the 4th ninja war bring an end to peace!" shouted the Tsugikage as he stopped his hands on a symbol DOTEN: EARTH DONGO RAGE" he shouted as a giant boulder formed and shot at the hokage.

KAITEN: DRAGON FLAMEBOMB) The Hokage called out as multiple large balls of fire shot out at the enormous rock to counter it. The explosion was immense and the five Kages scattered to gain higher ground.

...the 4th great ninja war had been ignited!

... (END FLASHBACK )

The news had spread like wildfire as people ran to safety, the ninja of the land of fire (HIDDEN LEAF, or Konoha) rose to protect their village. During the first few days, many lives were lost and chaos was sewn through the nations.

The funeral in question was for the Hokage, who died protecting the innocents caught up in the attack. The village was without a Kage the people without a leader, and…a boy without a guardian.

"Old man… I'll get strong…strong enough to protect this village … just like you did… even if I'm not liked by anyone …I'll be Hokage one day, I swear this now and a ninja never breaks a promise" said the boy as he made a fist to the grave of the man whom had taught him the value of life and the will of fire. "Rest… rest in peace jiji" he choked out as he left in tears. That boy was named Naruto Uzumaki …and this is his story.
