Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing what Naruko has been up to since leaving Konoha with Satsuki along with learning some more secrets that were kept from her. We'll also get a look to see how certain individuals are doing as well. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

Three years have passed, since that day in the Forest of Death, when Naruko had regained her memories of who she truly was and reconnected with the Phoenix Force. Along with taking part of her revenge out on those responsible for taking her mother, her memories, and her powers.

Along with reuniting with Satsuki and telling her the truth of what happened to her clan, along with the discovering the Uchiha was also a Mutant, as well. The latter of which lead the two girls to search for Naruko's own mentor in controlling her Mutant powers, Madara Uchiha, who's actually a Mutant, himself.

Since then, Satsuki had been trained by the older Uchiha, both in learning to master her Mutant abilities, which she learned was the ability to psionically absorb the life-force of other living beings. Along with training her normal abilities.

And the training was absolute HELL!

Satsuki thought she knew what brutal training was under her parents, when they were alive and had enough time to help her, but Madara showed that was nothing compared to his own training regimen.

He expected nothing less than perfection, and if Satsuki got something just the tiniest bit wrong, then she'd be force to repeat the entire training session, from the very start. The training of which consisted of two thousand pushups, sit ups, pullups, and running five hundred laps, around a giant mountain.

All while she had fifty pound weights on her arms and legs, while having kunai and shuriken thrown at her. And Madara expected her to complete all this, in less than five hours, and if she couldn't, then he'd make her start all over.

Satsuki still wondered just how she managed to survive that for three years.

Once she was finally able to complete her physical training, Madara would then give her some Jutsu scrolls to work on, and only give her more after she had them mastered. Afterwards it would be sparring, and Satsuki learned two things very quickly, the first time they sparred.

The first being, Madara didn't know the meaning of the words "holding back". And the second, getting hit by someone with an indestructible metal skeleton…it really hurt!

With her Mutant abilities training, the beginning was mostly trial and error to see just what Satsuki's powers were. After they learned what power she had, they began testing her limits, discovering that she could absorb all the life-force from living beings, causing their bodies to crumble to dust, while also healing and rejuvenating Satsuki herself. This also resulted in Satsuki absorbing her victims memories and Chakra as well, which helped increase her own reserves and expand her number of Jutsu.

Satsuki, eventually, learned to absorb part of her victims life-force, turning them into psychic vampires that she can control, and have absorb the life-force from others, as well.

Meanwhile, Naruko also took part in the physical training, having an easier time than Satsuki, given it was close to the same regimen Madara had her do, when she was younger. Though she still had trouble, since she hadn't done it in a while.

She also began learning just what exactly she could do, with the powers granted to her by the Phoenix Force, and what her limits were. Only for Naruko to quickly discover the only limit she possessed, was her own imagination.

If Naruko wanted to, she could quite literally hold the entire universe in her hands and crush it, turn water into magma, lead into gold, and as she's done several times before, kill someone with just a thought.

Of course, Naruko didn't let the fact she was basically omnipotent make her arrogant or neglect her other training, as well. Since while the Phoenix Force was likely the most powerful being in existence, that didn't mean Naruko, herself, still wasn't vulnerable, or that the Phoenix Force couldn't be sealed away, inside her. Given the fact that's what happened before, and Naruko refused to become reliant on the Phoenix, only to leave herself helpless, if she can't access her powers.

Now after three years, Naruko and Satsuki grown incredibly powerful, though Madara was still able to beat them both into the ground, since he had the age, experience, and knowledge over them.

Though it was after they had finished their training, that Madara had revealed his own role in how her life turned out.

Safe to say Naruko, didn't take it well.

*Flashback*

Madara grunted, as he crashed into a mountain, while his body was covered in several life-threatening injuries, which were already in the process of healing.

Not a moment later, Naruko landed in front of him with anger and vengeance shining in her fiery eyes, while a burning orange aura surrounded her. Understandable, given Madara had finally come clean about his role in the Kyūbi attack, from training Obito, the Moons Eye Plan, everything that lead up to that night, and the cause of all the pain Naruko experienced in her life.

He had also planned to tell her why he was no longer going through with it, but Naruko had immediately launched him halfway across the world, before proceeding to give the Uchiha the beating of a lifetime. It was only thanks to his own healing factor and metal skeleton that he's even still alive, right now.

That didn't mean it still didn't hurt, even with his high pain tolerance.

Naruko created a ball of fiery energy in her hand, and prepared to throw it at Madara, intent to wipe him from existence.

"Before I kill you, I want to know just why you bothered helping me as a child? Why aren't you working with the Akatsuki, and that other soon-to-be dead Uchiha?" Naruko demanded, wanting to know what Madara's angle was for helping her control her powers, when he could have just as easily captured her.

Standing up, Madara rolled her neck and shoulders, as the last of his injuries healed themselves.

"Because I thought myself the puppet master, manipulating Obito into completing the Moons Eye Plan, only stepping into the light once the Jūbi was formed, or if Obito and the Akatsuki failed to collect the Bijū. But it was after I faked my death, that I learned I wasn't the master, just another puppet being manipulated." Madara answered, with Naruko frowning in confusion, wanting him to elaborate.

"It was just before "dying" and having Obito become me, I believed I had created a being known as Black Zetsu, a manifestation of my own will, to provide additional guidance to Obito in completing the Moons Eye Plan. Only to learn I didn't create Black Zetsu as an extension of my will, instead it was created by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki the Rabbit Goddess, and the mother of the Sage of the Six Paths. I learned this after faking my death; after Obito left, Black Zetsu decided to taunt my "corpse" of how much of a fool I was, that the Moons Eye Plan and Infinite Tsukuyomi wasn't intended to bring peace, by letting people live in their own perfect worlds, it was intended to revive Kaguya, by using me as a host after becoming the Jūbi's Jinchūriki. With her then absorbing the Chakra of everyone in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, while all those trapped within would eventually be turned into White Zetsus. And all of this was possible, because of that parasites manipulations throughout history. Part of me was tempted to kill Black Zetsu then, but I was shocked. Everything that I planned; it was all for nothing. That I wouldn't have brought peace to the world, only dooming it and everyone to be turned into mindless slaves." Madara explained, knowing he has done many terrible things, both through his own actions and everything Obito has done, due to his influence, but he had believed it'd all be worth it, by allowing everyone the chance to live in their own perfect dream worlds.

Naruko's eyes were wide open hearing this, before scowling. Part of her wanted to call Madara a liar, that he was just trying to save his own life. But she could also hear his thoughts and even see his memory of Black Zetsu taunting his "dead body".

"Are you going to kill me?" Questioned Madara, not intending to fight back, if Naruko did plan to kill him.

"No." Naruko muttered, extinguishing her power and sat down on a stone chair, that formed under her.

As satisfying as it'd be to have killed Madara, earlier when he first told her, now Naruko couldn't bring herself to do it. While he was partly responsible for how her life turned out, he was also one of the few people she still trusted and genuinely cared about. And hearing that he was just another puppet being used by a parasite to revive this so-called "Goddess", Naruko knew she couldn't kill him, even if she still wanted to.

Plus, she could also understand Madara's plan, given the times he grew up in and seeing friends and family being killed in front of him, before eventually being exiled from his own clan. It wasn't a matter of right or wrong, but being the ends justifying the means, this case being everyone living happily ever after in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, with all their loved ones alive and happy.

Naruko can understand that mentality, since she herself now had the same mindset, at least partially. Given before her escape from Konoha, she killed dozens, if not hundreds, of people that probably never even met, or did anything to her. All just to satisfy her own desire of revenge against a few people.

So, she'd be a hypocrite if she condemned Madara for his own actions.

"What will you do now then?" Madara asked, crossing his arms and leaning against the mountain, with Naruko glancing at him as her eyes turned a burning orange color.

"I'm gonna hunt down every single member of the Akatsuki, and burn them alive, then I'll find Obito Uchiha and the parasite, Black Zetsu, and I'm going to tear their minds apart piece by piece, and then I'm gonna reduce them to nothing but dust in the wind." Naruko said, as the Phoenix appeared in her eyes.

*End Flashback*

Since then, Naruko has formed her own group to go against the Akatsuki. Which consists of herself, Satsuki, Madara, her fellow Jinchūriki Utakata and Fū, and Utakata's apprentice, Hotaru.

They had met Utakata and Hotaru, after helping the two stop a group of Ninja from using the Kinjutsu that was infused into Hotaru's body. While they had met Fū, after stopping Kakuzu and Hidan, two members of the Akatsuki, from kidnapping her, along with killing the so-called Zombie Duo. Along with convincing Shibuki, the leader of Taki and someone Naruko and Satsuki had helped on a previous mission, to let Fū go with them.

Granted, Naruko could easily take out the entirety of the Akatsuki just by herself, even easier, since her telepathy would allow her to search for their minds, before rendering them all braindead. But that would be too quick, and take all the fun out of it, with Naruko wanting the Akatsuki to know she's coming for them, and to be afraid of what she'll do, once she gets her hands on them.

Plus, Satsuki still wanted to settle the score with Itachi, and Naruko wasn't going to rob her of that chance.

Currently, both Naruko and Satsuki were hunting down more members of the Akatsuki, along with investigating rumors of a new organization, known as Kara. From what they've heard, Kara could possibly have a connection to the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and if that's true, then Naruko wanted to deal with them as soon as possible. As Naruko felt if they were left alone, they could interfere in her plans for Konoha, something she would not allow.

So, if this Kara organization proved to be a nuisance to her plans, then Naruko will wipe them out in an instant.

Nothing, and no one, will stand in the way of her revenge.

*Otogakure*

'At long last, the Sharingan is mine!' Orochimaru thought, grinning widely as he settled into his new body, that being one of Shin Uchiha's clones, though Shin wasn't a true Uchiha, merely one of his test subjects, that was obsessed with the Uchiha Clan and took their surname.

He also had bandages wrapped around his eyes, having transplanted the eyes of another Shin clone to grant him the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

But it wasn't just the Sharingan that made this body better, it was the fact that it had also been implanted with the DNA of both Kimimaro Kaguya and Hashirama Senju, with some help from his old friend, Hiruko. Along with being modified to act as a permanent vessel for his soul.

After years of possessing different host bodies. Orochimaru was finally in what was his final body.

And now that he was finally in possession of the Sharingan, Orochimaru can focus entirely on completing his research on the Jashin Religion's Immortality Ritual. Then Orochimaru can fulfill his dream of attaining immortality, with it then just being a matter of time to learn all the Jutsu in the world.

"Kabuto!" Orochimaru called out to his right hand, with the medic entering and kneeling to his master.

"Yes Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto said.

"Gather up everything in Otogakure, research notes, scrolls, everything and anything that's essential. We're moving to another base, one that's more out of the way." Said Orochimaru, wanting to move to one of his more obscure bases to get properly settled in his new body, along with the chance to train and use the new abilities he's gained.

"Very well. And what of Otogakure, what will become of it, once we leave?" Kabuto asked.

"Soon, Otogakure will have served its purpose, and by then, I will no longer have a need for it, anymore." Orochimaru replied, not really caring what happens to Oto, once he no longer has a use for it.

Besides, once he has everything, he needs to complete his objectives, with the Snake Sannin will have much bigger fish to fry.

*Konoha*

'This is a complete disaster.' Thought Hiruzen, feeling himself age with each passing moment.

Looking up from his spot on the porch of the Clan Head Home, of the now empty Sarutobi Clan compound, the former Sandaime could see the Hokage Monument, and even from this distance, he could still see the heads of the Shodaime, Nidaime, and Yondaime glaring down at him in disappointment and anger. The latter more so, than the former two.

Understandable, given how he mishandled the situation with Naruko, leading to her psychic attack three years ago, and now the entire village was paying for it.

Though when he looked a little to the left, Sarutobi sighed sadly and shook his head, as he saw the Godaime's face.

Danzō Shimura.

He tried, he desperately and painstakingly tried, to have Tsunade tracked down, but with Jiraiya trapped in the village, they hadn't been able to locate where Tsunade was hiding herself. This lead to Danzō finally achieving his desire to become Hokage, for all the good it did him.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on who you ask, since all his forces are dead and his Sharingan destroyed, especially Shisui's, Danzō's influence wasn't as prominent as it could have been. Plus, no one ever accused Danzō of being a good guy, and no one was very eager to obey someone who'd kill you for even the slightest insubordination.

It didn't help matters that every time a team is sent out on missions, outside of the village, they're cut down by enemy forces, not long after. This had the effect of their clientele moving their business to other Hidden Village, who could actually complete the missions they provided. Though while on the surface, it was enemy forces, everyone who was in the know, was sure that it was Naruko's doing.

Which would also explain why they haven't been invaded yet, since Konoha was at an all time low, with several clans having been wiped out, barely receiving any missions, and most of their forces were now dead. It was a miracle they were still standing, after three years.

And what makes this situation even worse, is that Hiruzen had a feeling that things were only going to get worse, from here on out.

*Unknown Location*

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, within an empty cave, eight holographic figures appeared. These were the remaining members of the Akatsuki, aside from Hidan and Kakuzu, who were now dead.

"This meeting has now been called to order. All of you report." Pein ordered, wanting to hear the Akatsuki members reports of the past three years, and how close they are to retrieving their targets

"Deidara and I will be at Sunagakure in a few days to capture the Ichibi Jinchūriki. Though it may prove difficult, as the Kazekage has been keeping a close watch on the boy, with the disappearance of the Nanabi and Rokubi Jinchūriki." Sasori said.

"Tobi and I are working on capturing the Nibi Jinchūriki. But it's proving difficult with Kumo's security and are waiting for her to leave the village." Said Zetsu.

"Kisame and I are close to locating the Yonbi Jinchūriki and should have him captured in three days at most." Itachi said, Pein nodding at hearing all this.

"And what of the Kyūbi Jinchūriki? Have you succeeded in locating her whereabouts?" Pein questioned, since there hasn't been a sighting of Naruko's location, since she left Konoha three years ago.

When they had first heard of what happened, after Naruko's attack and the reason behind, the Akatsuki had been shocked at the destruction and death wrought by Naruko in her desire for revenge. Though it had also disgusted Nagato, Konan, and Itachi at the fact Danzō was the cause of it all, and yet he was still let go without so much as a slap on the wrist, even worse was that after he was crippled during Naruko's rampage, he still became Hokage.

And while they'd love nothing more than to attack Konoha and finally put that warhawk in the ground, in as many pieces as possible. They needed to focus on gathering the remaining Jinchūriki for now, then they can deal with Danzō.

"So far, we have not succeeded in locating the Kyūbi Jinchūriki. But given how Kakuzu and Hidan died, I believe she is responsible for their deaths, as well as possibly the Rokubi and Nanabi's disappearances." Itachi replied, with Pein nodding as that seemed the most possible solution.

"Very well. You're all dismissed to continue your objectives." Said Pein.

Nodding, Sasori, Deidara, Kisame, and Itachi all vanished. Leaving only Pein, Konan, Zetsu, and Tobi, or "Madara", as they knew him.

"Well it's disappointing that the Kyūbi Jinchūriki is still lost in the wind. But I suppose it doesn't matter, until we have the other eight sealed away. Though how are we on locating members to replace Kakuzu and Hidan?" Questioned Tobi, since with the Zombie Duo dead, they needed to find new members to replace them.

"Difficult, given the number of S-Rank Missing-Nin are few in number. We have considered Hiruko or bringing Orochimaru back, but they have both gone underground, and we doubt that they can be trusted to not go rogue. Especially Orochimaru, after the last time we allowed him into the Akatsuki. Even we are even unable to locate the mysterious Shin Uchiha, that we heard rumors about." Said Pein, knowing there weren't many S-Rank Missing-Nin around, at least the ones they're aware of, while the rest are hidden beyond even Zetsu's reach.

"Even if we do find new members, it won't help speed up the sealing process. Given how Orochimaru had fled with his ring, as well as Kakuzu's and Hidan's being lost with their deaths." Konan added, with Tobi nodding at this since it was true, new members wouldn't help speed up the sealing, but it'd still be good to have a complete Akatsuki.

"Hm, I may have some suggestions for some allies, in the meantime. A group of Ninja working on summoning the demon Moryo, the wandering healer ninja Shinno, or even some prisoners from Blood Prison, if things become desperate enough. There is also Tsunade, who had been branded a Missing-Nin by Danzō. Which no doubt adds to her already existing resentment to Konoha and the title of Hokage." Suggested Tobi, with Pein and Konan frowning at the suggestions.

"We'll look into them and see if any of them could prove beneficial." Said Pein, before he and Konan left, leaving just Zetsu and Tobi.

"Tobi, I believe that I may have a suggestion for some allies, ones that will definitely help speed up the Moons Eye Plan." Said Zetsu, with Tobi looking at him intrigued.

"Oh? And who are these mystery allies?" Tobi asked, with Black Zetsu mentally smirking.

"Another organization like our own. They called themselves…Kara."

So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruko and Satsuki have been put through Madara's Boot Camp, along with training their mutant powers. With Madara also revealing the role he played in Naruko's life, with Naruko almost killing her old mentor before hearing what else he learned about Black Zetsu and Kaguya, leading to Naruko sparing him and having more people she plans to kill. Along with creating her own organization and planning to hunt down the Akatsuki and the mysterious Kara organization. We then go to Orochimaru and see he is close to achieving his dream, having gained the Sharingan and now is working on becoming immortal. Next is showing what has become of Konoha, with it having definitely seen better days, but it'll only get worse once Naruko returns. Finally we see the Akatsuki discussing what has happened along with who they should recruits as members or allies. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
