Is Madness like Courage? [Flash Back ]

Today would start out like every other mundane day, the sun would be hidden behind the clouds. I didn't mind at all seeing as it was like everything else in the mist. it would either be dead or forgotten because it wasn't even worth anything. My useless ramblings would impede my movement as I was walking down the main streets of Kirigakure. I slowly made my way through the crowds which were always bustling through the streets. I couldn't have cared less about those who had small menial jobs, they were less in value then ninja.

" Small roles. . . Tch, Small roles everywhere.

I was one of the chosen to star a lead upon the theater which is life itself. Yet today I was gloomy and melancholy for the fact I had no one to annoy or play with at the moment. Takumi couldn't be reached, Tsuchigumo had left for a mission and hasn't returned, and Shark face well was shark face. I didn't notice where I was walking and didn't even care to know otherwise. This was another boring day, I needed some Kishi damn excitement for fucks sake.

[shunsui]

Emotions. Where has my emotions gone to? I've been feeling as though life seem to freeze before me. All I been doing these years is nothing. No progression within the ranks of Kirigakure and not even placing the effort. Lazy? Damn right I am! The thing about walking around with these abilities that are genetically passed down, called Kekkei Genkai. Is that everyone looks at you differently? It was almost as if they chose to view me as a noble or worse, a curse.

The clouds were the only thing that brought a sense of tranquility over me. My raven tresses kept the sun's beams that escaped through the thick clouds above from my eyes. Shielding them as I'll tilt my head back and begin a sigh of relief. My body still was in tip top shape, but there was something lacking. Was it motivation or emotions, altogether? Perhaps, another shinobi of the village could help me with said problem. It didn't matter, but at this time I was now alone. With not a person in sight that could understand my dilemma. That was when I would hear another making his way through the village, stating something about small roles being everywhere. Perhaps, he could enlighten me on the situation.

"So, why don't you change their roles?"

I would muse out loud towards the aggravated man before him. The only thing some people saw was themselves, but in the eyes of myself, Shunsui Uchiha. There was more to everyone and that no one could truly consider themselves better, but explain the reasons as one with such hereditary traits be viewed as a curse to their own villages. That was one thing, but was his own role in this society of Kirigakure a minor one. How could he make himself a part of the bigger scene? Deterring thoughts continued to flodo his mind. Some would say the young man carried a sense of honor about himself. He wandered aimless for most of his life and now he sought to find himself. Maybe this man before him could do so...

My depression was worsening, I needed something to fucking do was all I thought. That was when my ears heard the voice of what would seem to be a man of great power. His words were spoken to me with so much confidence and conviction it baffled me. I swayed turning towards the voice, my yellow shells which colored my optics laid upon a beautiful man. I was astonished from looked at his from head to toe, my dream had come true and kami had sent me someone of value. He had spoke about my mindless ramblings towards my philosophy on life. I couldn't help myself and wandered through the sea of useless actors to get to this new actor. My voice was filled with a romantic glee as I was happy to share my opinion on life.

" The only way to give them a bigger role would be to kill them. I mean being a lead role such as myself they should be falling over themselves to die by me. It is the only way they will get bigger roles. The alternative would be to either become a ninja or someone of worth which should be really hard for those weak masses of blood and shit. "

I cackled with a dark laughter, I cracked myself up talking about useless little worms. This man has caught my boyish eye and I wished to know more about him. I placed my faith that his reaction would be favorable, but to be honest I would change his mind if not. I was a complicated little bastard and I wanted to find someone just as fucked up as me. I needed someone to comfort me in times of need but I doubted this guy would be it. I mean I thought he would be a precursor to a more delightful day at least.

These onyx eyes were steady on their focus as the young boy was weaving his way towards me. It seems my words did fall upon ears that was looking for a sign or some type of hint of entertainment. Still, there was one thing that wasn't quite explained, but it all was made clear when the male began to speak. His face held a interesting look about him and the air about this fledgling was rich in spirit.

Whether that was the good or bad side, it didn't matter. For, one who was born with a curse there was no such thing as luck or superstitions. There was only harsh reality and when the male spoke of his ways of rising others through the society, my brows would arch up in surprise and then narrow as I began to truly measure the capacity of this one before me.

"That could be one way of handling the situation, but tell me...If you go through that method of approach. In the end, you're doing nothing, but ridding the world of the extra hands you'll need to be successful in your reign. Pain, Agony, and Despair...use those to drive the world mad. Make those that are worthless, into men who's morals are warped by your words as well as your actions."

My words hung in the air and held a bit of confusion about them. I looked the young male in the eye and began to contemplate the series of situations this young lad could possibly been through in life. Yet, nothing compared to being void of emotions and finally gaining something back, but there was one thing that stood out the most. Even though I knew what to say to this male there was something else missing about me. Apart of me understood where he was coming from, but that part was foggy. The memories of the past were there, but they were like a mirror fractured a thousand times over...It was hard to discern what was real and what was a figment of my imagination.

"Your name, ambitious one?"

[enzan]

I looked into his eyes as I listened to every single word which came from his mouth.His idea of myself becoming a supreme force within the lives of these meaningless worms was and okay idea. I didn't really look for my role to become a military dictatorship but if I ever became Mizukage it would become such a village. I knew my glasses reflected his face upon them so I didn't know if he was trying to find my eyes or merely looking at the reflection. I blushed, I didn't understand why but my face felt so rosy and hot. I shook my head a few times trying to change my facial expression to one of seriousness but failed. I also began to speak in and unabashed tone, a strikingly different and more serious tone which I rarely used.

" My name? I go by many names! Master, Caius, Doctore, and the one I use often Agito. All of these are meaningless monikers but never the less you may choose which one to call me. I don't care handsome. "

[/color]

I mentally licked my lips like a tiger looking at a weakened deer. I wanted to get my razor sharp teeth into his mind so I could make him be mine all day. I wanted to annoy the hell out him and maybe even go toe to toe with him for a spar. I just wanted to know how he would react towards being called handsome by another male. To be honest I had no idea if he knew of my true gender for the fact I had these large rimmed glasses on. And even without them on I have and overall female body type. I'm sure such a nobleman and powerful nin could tell the difference and know I wasn't a kunoichi.

Asphalt orbs held the young shinobi in view as the study of his body language continued. I found his words weighing on my own thoughts, but they would be cast aside with a stoic expression. My onyx tresses caught a small breeze as they began to dance behind me. Mind was empty for a second as the kid continued to speak. However, he was now going through a long list of names that people called him. However, he would end his statement with a compliment on my own looks. It seem like he was trying to throw me back on my heels a bit, but he would gain no such thing.

"If you can't choose a name and stick with it. Then, what would be the point of even trying to obtain those said goals. People need a name to a face before accepting them. Whether that's through fear or sheer charisma. For now I will just call you Agito."

Ignoring the flirtatious compliment that was thrown at me. I'll close my eyes and begin to relax. My hands were to my side and relaxed. So was my body as the conversation continued to flow. My words finished as I stated what name he would hear from me. There was no need for all that extra baggage. Glaring at the shinobi before my presence, I'll take a step forward by the shinobi. Stopping a second glaring at him over my shoulder, words would follow.

"So what does one as yourself plan to do, Agito. Will change this forsaken society or will you become another pawn in it's timeless game?"

[enzan]

I would see my flirtatious advances being knocked aside as if they didn't even matter. I could see that he was deep in thought with every single word which came out towards me. I disregarded his detrimental words because I noticed he didn't understand me yet. I stepped backwards as he stepped forward trying to annoy him by matching each of his steps. I looked directly into his mysteriously cold onyx eyes. I began to speak once more but with a lightened mood and a false smile upon my lips.

" A name means little more then nothing to these bastardized masses. The only thing which means anything is and Ideal! And ideal once created can never be destroyed meaning even if the name is false my convictions will never die !!!! I am not a relic of time, I am beyond such mundane descriptions of life surely you can see such a thing. I am not a clog in a machine but and actor in a universal play and my role has yet to even begin! "

I was so happy that I almost twirled within the street. I smiled widely bordering on what others have told me were creepy and almost sociopathic. I never cared for them since they were now dead rotted corpses beneath the ground. I locked my yellow orbs on his face once more, his handsome features were starting to dull as he had gotten more inquisitive. I loved to talk about my goals but his condescending tone was starting to piss me off a little. I began to move backwards not caring if I bumped into another person or not I wanted to see how he would react if I tried to leave our conversation.

[shunsui]

This male was intriguing as well. Even as I spoke around and dismissed his attempts at flustering me. He was always met with a look devoid of emotion. Something that was becoming more and more like a habit since others saw me as another Cursed Shinobi. Those onyx eyes locked with those behind those accursed frames. The kids these days with their new gear and such, but alas I found myself moving out of his way. Placing my hand on his shoulder, as I'll attempt another pass by him.

"Agito, my friend. You are one strange individual, but thats a good thing. However, do you have the prowess to back up such trivial means. Those same means to get the others to follow you through your ideals. It'll only last for long till the truth of how your deeds were handled, and judging from your mentality. I don't see that going anywhere near as good as you thought."

I would come to a stop and turn to view Agito once more. So much potential lay hidden in that body. However, foolish ideals would only help this one find a closer path to death. There had to be something that could help push the shinobi onto a even higher stage to showcase his role to the world. That was when a few ideas had popped into my mind. Eyeing him this time with a focused stare. The intensity behind my onyx eyes began to manipulate slowly....revealing crimson orbs looking at the shinobi.

"Perhaps, there is a way we can truly test your mettle? Do you have any suggestions?"

My words were cold and callous, but held a mysterious aura that lingered there for a second. My optics would return to their obsidian stages. Awaiting the shinobi's response, surely he would want to prove himself, but what was making this one push to irk me.

[enzan]

I stopped listening to his ramblings when he told that my ideals wouldn't work. I didn't appreciate this nobody disrespecting my ideals seeing as he has nothing himself to show for his own. I see him as a destitute ninja, someone without class, a vagabond who dared disrespect me. I pulled backwards once more spinning until we were facing each other. My anger wasn't apparent within my face but concealed beneath my darkness and madness. I spoke back towards him with a smile but hid my malevolent tone.

" You want me to kill you right here? right now? Of course I'll be glad to oblige your stupidity! You dare criticize me and then expect to walk away completely intact. NEVER! I shall show you my personal show. "

I watched as his obsidian eyes turned red revealing a pitiful doujutsu of uncertain origins. It didn't matter to me I would completely and utter destroy him. I pulled from my back Sanu, the gears grinded a bit as I jumped backwards gaining some distance from the mysterious fellow. A sharp smile pierced from my mouth showing my tongue which lashed outward in a disapproving manner. I wanted to cut him into a million pieces at the time and I would fight him until I got my excitement under control.

[shunsui]

My eyes locked on the one before me. It seems that I had hit a nerve and it snapped something within him. This one was a loose cannon, but that didn't bother my calm visage. I would furrow my brows as he stepped in front of me, jumping back. Those asphalt hues began to ignite, blazing with crimson fury. My body snapped into action and it was a fluid movement as I stepped towards the shinobi before me.

My movements surely would have closed the distance, considering the shinobi before me leaped backwards. I merely pushed off the ground sprinting towards the shinobi. Basically, preparing to meet him in hand to hand combat and keeping him busy for the moment. That was when I caught the emergence of his puppet coming into the picture. With that blazing inferno that was raging wildly, I found myself preparing a face of serenity to throw this one off.

"Very well. Then show me your strength."

Sadly the shinobi was only five meters away from me, and that gap was closed in a matter of seconds. Being one that chose to hone his taijutsu skills over his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. I had began to rewrite another chapter in the history of my clan. I'll bring my hand forward as it's grip tightened and my knuckles whitened from the amount of pressure. I would send it reeling forward to catch the young male before he landed on his feet.

[enzan]

I sidestepped his assault by using a revitalizing jutsu, The flicker jutsu which had took me too long to learn. I didn't like the fact he could get within my face so easily my range wasn't suppose to be crossed like that. Yet, I admired his strength and speed except for that fucking sharingan. That pissed me off, the first mizukage had that and I felt it was a cop out on the fact he should have to work for stuff. He shouldn't get some sort of free pass to some sort of unlimited power. I used my chakra strings to push Sanu in front to defend my body as I back up again. I smirked and began to speak towards him again but in a more exhausted voice.

" Your handsome, yet not what i was looking for in a fight. Maybe we can get together again one day and fight it out properly, good bye for now. "

I made sure to disappear with another shunshin into the village of the leaf. I would return to him one day and decimate all of his abilities.
