“THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!”
*BOOM*
It wasn't even light outside and it had been like this for weeks. Blood and sweat soaked the ground and there had to be something said about the air; just never seemed to be enough of it. It was just so hard to breathe that you were literally always short on breath.
“STILL TOO SLOW!!!”
*CLASH*
Thundering sounds of the shinobi colliding and exchanging blows rang throughout the mountains echoing to the forests below. The speed in which they moved was unnatural and the young Genin known as Sasuke, had found himself on the wrong end of a spinning back elbow. It was a shame really as he had foreseen and blocked the previous elbow, but in his hesitation he failed to counter. Life’s funny that way; some of the best lessons have to be learned the hard way.
Endless White overrode his vision as his limbs failed him and went limp. His vision returned but only for a moment. It then grew dark as his body collapsed from under himself, onto his knees, before finally finding himself face first in the dirt.
“Tell me Sasuke. Is that all there is left of the great Uchiha Clan?”
And like that the walls came crashing down, consciousness flooded back into the young shinobi breathing life anew. He was up and with haste he was on his opponent with an ill intention. His eye’s a fiery red known only to the Uchihas, as he rushed forward and began to unleash a barrage of furious punches and kicks, all of which found contact; none of which found an opening but this did not deter the young upstar---
*SMASH*
This time his vision would remain intact, better that way, now he would be able to see the smug expression on Kakashi’s face as he fell to his knees. Kakashi took a knee so that he was face to face with his pupil before speaking, “I thought you had purpose. I thought you had someone to kill.”
His breathing was heavy and he couldn’t, for the life of him, catch his breath. Damn this elevation he thought, but he knew he had to answer, “I will kill him.”
The young ninja sprang fourth with all his might, clenching all the power he could in his right hand and he fired a hell of a right hook intended for the silver haired instructor.
*SWOOSH*
“How are you going to do that, when you can’t even hit me?” the words soft, but only a whisper on the tongue of Kakashi and only audible to Sasuke because mid-way through the punch Kakshi had instantly vanished, only to reappear directly behind him.
“You have these damn weights on me, of course you’re dodging me. I bet it’d be a different story if I took them off.” The youth retorted, exposing a contempt he did not mean to show.
Kakashi shrugged, looked Sasuke over with his eyes, and said simply, “the weights I applied to your ankles are only half the weight being used for Rock Lee’s training.”
Sasuke’s eyes widened in embarrassment.
His sensei grinned and began again, “honestly, they aren’t even as heavy as the ones I am using now.” he finished talking, removed his under garments, tossed them to Sasuke and upon catching them, they plummeted to the floor with Sasuke unable to hold them up.
Frustrated the teenage ninja snapped back, “It doesn’t even matter. I will still kill him.”
Kakashi arched an eyebrow, grinned, and rushed the young shinobi with his own barrage of punches and kicks.
“NOT IF YOU DON’T GET FASTER!!!”
*CRASH*
It continued like this for some time and looking back on it Sasuke would value Kakashi’s training far more than he ever could have imagined. For, it was about to be one of the last times he would ever train under the great Kakashi Sensei ever again. Through this training he would gain great power, hands down, but nothing would prepare Sasuke for what would come next.
“Arrg!.. Man, I swear if he doesn’t show I’ll kill him. I swear, I’ll kill him!”
Pacing back and forth in frustration a youth who had to be no older than Sasuke gritted his teeth and balled his fist in front of him. He stood from what looked like a private box seating apart of a larger coliseum. His clothes dirty and worn as through he had just been through a battle and upon his chest he wore a badge that read...
[spoiler]
It was a tournament, a rite of passage to the shinobi, and it was in its conclusion. This meant that for some lucky few they would be progressing further into their respective ninja ranks. Sasuke however, was only minutes away from being disqualified for being late!
"Ugh.. What’s he thinking? I bet he’s planning some big entrance or something… Well, I’m not going to be impressed!”
It was none other than Naruto: the number 1 hyperactive knucklehead ninja from the village hidden in the leaves and what a sight for sore eyes he was. Though Sasuke didn’t realise it then, Naruto was not only Sasuke’s comrade, he had become closest thing to a friend Sasuke had ever known.
“Ha! So you decided to show up after all. I was betting you wouldn’t show cause sooner or later you would have to face me!” He lied. Naruto had been telling everyone they were wrong and that Sasuke would show. He even punched a kid who had said Sasuke was too chicken to show up.
His eyes glimmered a shade of ocean blue as his face lit up like only a child’s face could. His grin bore into Sasuke, exuding a confidence that Sasuke knew could only mean one thing.
“So, what about you? Did you win?” the Uchiha smirked at his rival and comrade.
“You know it!” Naruto exclaimed as he extended a thumbs up at Sasuke.
“Hmph, well don’t get too full of yourself. You still can’t beat me!” Sasuke replied cooly as he flashed a sly grin.
So, Naruto won the first round and against Neji no less… Naruto… you are getting stronger. I can’t wait to fight you again!
“You better not lose to that guy!” Naruto interrupted his train of thought.
“Got it.” He replied, and to be honest, he was getting excited. He couldn't wait to put his new training to use on this devil from the sand everyone was talking about.
“SASUKE!” shouted Naruto, “Beat him so we can fight!”
“Got it!” flashing another Uchiha grin.
Don’t worry Naruto, you’re next. I have to become the strongest!
But just like that, he was gone; Kakashi too.
“Naruto..? Kakashi Sensei?...”
Darkness. Not that pale shadow of dawn, but the actual certainty of non-existence. How? Was he not just standing with his comrades? Death comes for us all, but on this day? Was the Uchiha flame to be extinguished so soon? No… No, he would not accept that.
Why then, this blackness? Had the fight already begun? Had he lost… lost more than just the match? The devil in the sand… That had to be it, Genjutsu!
“My Clan… My clan… I can’t die here. Remember me, their looking to me… My brother… I am an avenging angel… and ANGELS DON”T DIE!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!”
Light; Illumination; The very beginning to existence exploded into being cupped in Sasuke’s right hand. Bolts of electricity popped and crackled, surrounding his fist. He lunged forward, attempting to destroy anything he could make contact with.
*BOOM*
He hit something and it hit back; hard. Light exploded as the power in his hand faded away. Sasuke’s body was sent sprawling backwards, like a rock skipping across water. The blackness encompassed him, however, the light that had exploded yards away still remained and from it stepped a silhouette of a man…
“What…What are you going on about?” the Uchiha stuttered in disbelief.
The being suddenly appeared before Sasuke, now only a few feet separating them.
He’s fast… just as fast as me… none of my training will do me any good here… Damn!
The white silhouette reached out, extending his hand forward. Startled, Sasuke reacted, flipping backwards and landed in a crouched position.
A florescent glow illuminated from his hand as the being know as 'Omni' seemed to express what looked to be a smirk... at Sasuke, though Sasuke couldn’t be sure. In the palm of his hand he held a glimmering orb in which all the colors of the rainbow coalesce.
“Immortality?” Sasuke questioned, expressing curiosity for the first time.
That got his attention and his interest. “I don’t care about others. I only care about one man. Tell me, is he here? Is Itachi Uchiha here as well?!”
“Wait, what? No, what, no... No, wait.. Wait! WAIT!!!... Damn…!"
"...."
"Damn..."

Quote:“My name is Omni. This is not the world you know. This is the Omniverse. You interest me, so I have made you part of it. The Omniverse is a place that reflects the wishes of those who are part of it. But! There are rules. I will explain them only once, so listen carefully.”

Quote:“This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most. "
“Immortality?” Sasuke questioned, expressing curiosity for the first time.
Quote:“You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn."
That got his attention and his interest. “I don’t care about others. I only care about one man. Tell me, is he here? Is Itachi Uchiha here as well?!”
Quote:“That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.”
