Torch of spirit sought through ten
Drinking strength from immortal fire
Darkest prison sheds the light
Churning under a sea of salt
Burning on a throne of rock
Seeing through the eyes of the sky, unmoored in the sea of the sky
(Made up the rest of poem)
Under watchful eyes and harshest glares
Deep with in the mind of a king
Always found in the brightest of light
Hidden from view, under plan sight
Always follows that which cares
Brought together, purging strength, always in flames of peace
Chapter 0: Approach…
In a cabin far from others…
'Sounds like all that fighting is done.' An elder male thought to himself as he got up and move to a cart. "Looks like I can finally put you ten to use again."
Several days later outside the gates of Konoha…
"Halt, who are you?" a chuunin asked as he saw a monk pulling a cart.
"Just a monk, giving something to the people of this land as a gift." The elder stated as he revealed boxes under the tarp.
"Sure but let's have the Hokage clear this. Hey can you get Lord Minato?"
"Sure, shall I tell Tsume that you're busy?"
"Shut up…" The Inuzuka snapped.
A few moments later…
"You wish to give us a gift?" Minato asked as he looked at the monk.
"It might not seem like much but I bring ten armors that I have come across in my life." The monk replied, smiling.
"Armors… what type of armors?" Minato asked as he looked at the cases.
"Ten mystical armors, the names are: Wildfire, Halo, Torrent, Hardrock, Strata, Cruelty, Venom, Corruption, Illusion, and Starlight. It took me years to gather the pieces of that last one." The monk stated as he frowned.
"Why give them to us?" Minato asked shocked.
"Who better than the strongest village. Anyways, the armors lead me here; they choose the bearers not the other way." The monk stated as he started to push the cart in.
"Okay… you two help him out." Minato ordered as he too started to push it in. "What is your name?"
"You can call me Ryo Sanada. I'm not as old as you think." Ryo stated as they made it to the tower.
"Okay how will we know if they chose someone?" Minato asked worried.
"They will disappear from the box and form a sphere that fits in a palm. It's up to the users how they use the armors." With that said Ryo disappeared.
"Damn that was fast. Place them in the vault, and make a log on anyone but myself entering the chamber." Minato ordered as he looked in each box. 'They don't look like much but still… better be careful.'
Two years later…
"Itachi, what can I do for you?" Minato asked the prodigy.
"I feel a like something drew me here, sir." Itachi stated with some concern. "I didn't let my father in on where I was going tonight so I could talk to you."
"Follow me; I think I know what you're looking for." Minato stated as he lead Itachi to the vault. "Inside there is ten boxes I want you to enter and find the box that's calling you."
"O-okay." Itachi stated worried that this might be a trick. 'But it seems weird the closer I got to the room the better I felt.' Itachi thought as he entered the room and started to look at the boxes but stopped at one. 'Why does this one call to me?' The eight year old opened the box and was shocked to see a bright light erupt and condense into a sphere and floated to his palm. 'Illusion… wait how do I know that?' Itachi thought as he frowned a bit. "Found it!"
"You can come out now." Minato ordered as he waited for the boy.
