This feeling... nothing compares to it... this is what he’s living for!.. The rush of adrenaline as he puts his life on the line, the exhilaration as he slays his enemies, and the pure euphoria when he finally stands alone and victorious on the battlefield! Oh, this power he was seeking – the power he has – over everyone and everything, and finally, he’s complete - no one stands in his way anymore, no one can challenge him! His roaring laughter fills the battlefield, putting fear in his opponents’ and comrades’ hearts alike.

He lowers his weapon and looks down on his slain enemy. The Tsuchikage. Stubborn man, but he put up a good fight. His particle release jutsu melted his impenetrable Susanoo like it was nothing! His grin during the fight still hadn’t vanished from his own face. What a battle! His foe was a strong man, leading a strong people. Hard as rock. But rock can be crushed. „Public executions will begin tomorrow.” – has was thinking as he turned around and started walking back to his tent. The battle is over; with their leader dead, the Hidden Stone ninjas are crushed everywhere by his Uchiha troops.

As he walks through the battlefield, he barks a few commands here and there, but his mind is not in the present anymore. Coming off the high of the battle, he couldn’t help but reminiscing the path that led him there. He tasted battle as young as six years old, when he took the life of his first Senju, who ambushed them as they were traveling home from a trading trip. He became an adult at that tender age, but he never looked back for a second, seeking out his enemies, defeated them wherever he found them. That’s the world we live in, the only thing that matters is power, it’s you or them, and he protected his clan aIl these years.

And now, finally, the last of his enemies lays in his own blood, and he brings peace and order to these people too, to the entire World!

„The Tsuchikage – pfff... what foolishness!” – he huffed in anger. „Hashirama’s failed experiment ends today.” He warned his friend about it many times: nothing will change by creating villages from warring clans, the wars will only get bigger and deadlier. Foolish Hashirama, he never understood how our world works. You can’t unite the clans like equals, and why should you? Why should the Uchihas – the greatest of them all – be assimilated into the swamp of their lesser rivals? They are meant to lead the world, HE was meant to lead the world!

„Naive Hashirama.” His heart was in the right place, but he lacked the strength to do what had to be done. „Hashirama, my old friend.” In the end, their differences led them on the path they meant to take: and finally, in the Valley of the End it erupted in the greatest battle he’s ever fought! He laughed out in joy just thinking about it! What a battle that was! Fighting against his best friend, the only man he respected and considered to be his equal!.. or almost his equal. He had to sacrifice one of his eyes to kill him, but he was victorious.

He took on the cloak and hat of the Hokage, and continued to lead his people in his dead friend’s place. He even took his wife – a powerful jinchuuriki in the palm of his hands. He quickly dealt with any resistance – a village needs a strong, powerful leader. „ Godd4mn Tobirama!” – he was seething in anger just thinking about him. Watching him die slowly, from the hole he blew in his stomach was deliciously satisfying. „For Izuna!” But the opposition hasn’t ended with him, the Hyuga uprising proved that clans should not mix – especially if they try to challenge the might of the Uchiha. But after eradicating them, the village was finally peaceful, in order and strong.

From then, he continued to seek out his enemies outside the village. And finally, after the occupation of the Hidden Sand he threw away the foolish title of the Hokage, and became what he was destined to be: the Emperor.

And here he is now, at the end of the road. Nothing stands in his way, nobody to oppose him. Finally, he brought peace and order to the world.

He should feel triumphant, but instead, he feels... emptiness. The high of the battle is gone, and there will be no more battles. Nobody to defeat, nothing to fight for.

He steps into his tent and looks around. Not much in it, a futon for sleeping, a small desk to write his orders. Empty. Then something in the dark corner catches his eyes. Something... (or someone?) emerges from the shadows. Is it even human?

„Who are you?” – the shadowy figure doesn’t look too dangerous, but he doesn’t take his rinnegan off it.

The shadow emerges and takes the form of.. almost a human, but not quite.

„I greet you, Uchiha Madara! My name is Zetsu, and I’m here to help you.”

„What would I need your help for?” – he asked with disgust from looking at the weird creature.

„You vanquished your enemies with your might, and became Emperor of the world! But there are greater foes beyond the veils of your reality, and they are gods you can’t fight unless you yourself become one! I can help you gain the power of the gods! – Come, claim your destiny!”
