the unlikely pair!

in a remote back ally of kanoha a dark glob of black goo materialized on the ground. it grew into the shape of two men and then the dark goo evaporated to reveal an elderly rock ninja and a red clad sannin. " we're here."

"Alright, Ryotoku." rock ninja sits on the chair as his great grandson sits by. "So, what else is new, boy?" He asked.

"Well i have been tracking my brothers murderer, who is also my sister, and a full blooded uchiha. this makes things very difficult. two bowls pleas, and four gourds of sake to go, thank you." Ryo took his bowl and began eating slowly and offered a gourd to the rock ninja.

He takes the gourd from him. "Well, you know. Remember seeing that ANBU from the meadow earlier? He's an elite uchiha, in fact. Maybe he is powerful like myself or more. He had killed his whole family back then when he was a kid, younger than Itachi was when he killed his clan." he said, explaining to Ryotoku.

"Is that so? Hm, the Uchihas seem to be a bloodthirsty clan, don't we? I myself killed my own father, on accident, but i still killed him. I don't even remember what happened... it happened so fast." he remembered looking down at a torn and shattered corpse, even as it was being absorbed by the curse mark. he remembered stooping down to pluck his fathers left eye straight from his skull. after that he had grown immensely stronger in every way. in his child hood after that, he hunted down any and all of his cousins, uncles aunts, nieces and nephews, stealing their cursmarks, and all of there combined power with them. also anything they had in pocket demensions he now had acces to. it was a brutal past but the law of his clan dictated that only two with the cursemark could ascend to mastery of the abyss. he and his brother had planned it out, they would share equally the cursemarks of they're kin, serving kanoha as two greatest sannin. now with his brother gone he had ascended to that lonly rank alone, and with a vengence. " Honorable elder, since i have the uchiha bloodline running through my viens, is it possible for me to awaken my sharingan?"

"Yes, it is very possible that many non-full blooded uchiha can have. If an ninja have a uchiha parent and other is the hyuuga parent, their bloodlines would conflict, even though it will have little of both but not fully. Sometimes it can turn out to have one uchiha sharingan eye and one byakugan on the ther eye. Hmm, for you, it should be able to have both eyes for it. Just remember, don't make the same mistake as i did back then, you should know what that is, Ryotoku." he said, explaining to his great grandson. He drinks a cup of tea. :Hmm, this place is just getting better and better. I haven't been here like many, many years, maybe more than you thought." Rock ninja said, he sighed.

As the rock ninja spoke to him he noticed several anbu a hundred meters out and closing in fast. "Honorable elder, I do not mean to interrupt you, but we should leave now. Doubtless you feel them too. " Ryotoku paid the bill for the noodles and stood. Dropping another black orb to the ground he stepped into it holding his hand out to his great grandfather.

Rock ninja stood up and follows Ryotoku Hyabusa. "What's gotten into you all of the sudden?" He asked, eyeing his great grandson.

"oh its nothing just follow me." the black abyss wrapped itself around him and madara and they both disappeared into thin air.
