Chapter 3: Innerspace before awakening



Innerspace before awakening

Dan Senjumaki nee Otsutsuki found himself inside his own mind. The represention of which was like seven galaxies orbiting a massive black hole. On the pole of the black hole was a castle which exuded unfathomable aura and majesty.

Braving the sight before him Dan approached the gates ajar. He noticed that all doors were open from the gate to the door facing the inner courtyard.

He entered each step gaining strength; at the trashold of the door the world beyond it transformed into a completely different dimension.

There two thrones stood. They shone in brilliance as if made by every precious stone and metal. One throne was vacant and the other sat a being clad in pure light no darkness or shadow was visible. On the left hand side of the being slept a being whose likeness was that of a fox with crimson hide and nine tails sprawled out .

The thrones and the one who sat on them exuded power beyond mortal comprehension. Even the sleeping fox had an aura that felt like it can destroy anything and everything.

As Dan came before these thrones and the beings before him he felt that he belonged here. This space was the very representation of his soul. The beings bore no malice towards himself. Through the language that was beyond speech or emotion, the beings were eager for him and sung for his glory using soul speech.

The light being was the first to speak " You finally reached this plane, welcome." said the being who spoke with much familiarity in tone and demeanor. Dan instinctively knew the being. How could he not know? It was a being that followed him for the rest of his previous life. A being born from his very knowledge, experience and his very being.

Dan replied "Amanda you are a sight for sore eyes. To think that the horizon beyond would be like this, I am very much pleased. Are we complete?". asked Dan to his Ai(artificial intelligence)partner.

Amanda replied " We are limited but complete but we have taken on a stray."she said gesturing to the ninetail fox .

Dan smiles at this and said"This is necessary to understand the world we must take up a part of it. Have you done the information exchange?." Dan inquired to Amanda.

"No information exchange yet as the stray has not awakened since arriving." responded Amanda.

"That's very good, when he awakens inform me promptly there's too much to be discussed with him." Dan said.

Amanda spoke" That is for the best as I fear this stray would be overwhelmed by the knowledge we impart especially if it's done by full on sympathetic reading . The galaxies you saw are the sum and total of the universes we are linked to each having similar but different laws . Once we have gained knowledge of this universe no being can stand against us, even now most are microbes in our sight. So let's get understanding and knowledge of this universe the rest is the outcome of pursuing this goal." said Amanda.

" So could you tell me something? ,why did I introduce myself as Dan Senjumaki nee Otsutsuki?."asked Dan.

" It's the world's law. In this universe names have power and the world could not contain your true name that is why it intervened on behalf of itself for it's own sake. These are the restrictions I was talking about our existence is too vast and the world could barely contain us ; you might have noticed that even your body is deaged but in here you are the true reflection of yourself." replied Amanda.

" Amanda I think since we are here let's play civilization building, this world is highly intriguing. This world possess something we have not encountered before. This energy called chakra has great potential, it's similar to chi yet also different. I believe we can play more with this energy.". said Dan.

"Our core foundation is limited with regard to the cultivation of chakra. I only analysed the fragment of chakra that is sealed within us I will need a broader sample to understand the fundamentals of this energy source. Though we might not know much about chakra we are not powerless, we still have access to Qi,chi, spirit energy and biotics. You can also draw energy from the three major universes and four minor. This is the gift of the Nexus.". said Amanda

" I should be over powered yet I see that it's my young body that is limiting me. I even felt resistance when I was healing Kushina as if the world was stopping me from breaking a law.".

" You are not far off the energy you used to heal her belongs to a different reality and the physic of this world is different from that reality which lead to a conflict of the energy not knowing what to prioritise to save her life. ".

" It seems I have a lot of studying and observing when I wake up. Any ideas what I should prioritize?".

" History, common customs and chakra ".

Her reply was short and gave me a clear way forward. she also told me that she will be able to communicate with me through telepathy and to enter the soul space I should use meditations.

I left my inner space and the first thing that came through my senses was the bipping of the heart monitor next the smell of disinfectant I was in a medical facility and it was night as no light came to my eyes. Feeling my young body tense I knew I was sleeping for a while so I decided to sleep some more I will wake up in the morning.

Change p.o.v

Hiryuzen Sarutobi for the past weeks has been running from meeting to meeting trying to stabilise the situation that is Konaha. The rebuilding effort, The concern about the human pillar sacrifices and the politics surrounding the death of the previous Hokage. The pressure to return things to normal was almost insurmountable but due to his decades of experience at the leadership helm he quickly stabilized the situation and gained further prestige since the villagers could only look to him for guidance in these difficult times.

The death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sent shockwaves throughout the village of Konoha. The loss of a leader, especially one as revered as the Fourth Hokage, created a power vacuum that would have far-reaching consequences.

Within the Hokage faction, a subtle struggle for control began to unfold. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was forced to retake the reins, a move that ruffled more than a few feathers among the village hierarchy. Many had grown accustomed to the Fourth Hokage's leadership and resented the Third Hokage's return to power.

Among the major clans, tensions simmered just below the surface. The Uchiha clan, in particular, felt threatened by the Third Hokage's resurgence. They had grown powerful during the Fourth Hokage's reign and feared that their influence would wane under the Third Hokage's leadership.

Meanwhile, civilians of status, such as the wealthy and influential merchants, watched the unfolding drama with interest. Some saw opportunities for advancement in the chaos, while others worried about the stability of the village.

Amidst this turmoil, a man named Danzo Shimura saw an opportunity to expand his personal power. A high-ranking member of the village's leadership, Danzo had long been a master manipulator, using his cunning and intelligence to further his own agenda.

As the village struggled to come to terms with the Fourth Hokage's passing, Danzo began to quietly consolidate his power. He forged alliances with key members of the major clans and cultivated relationships with influential civilians.

Before long, Danzo had amassed more power than his official position warranted. His influence extended far beyond his allotted sphere, and he became a force to be reckoned with in the village.

The Third Hokage, aware of Danzo's growing power, watched him with a wary eye. He knew that Danzo's ambition and cunning made him a potential threat to the stability of the village. Yet, for the time being, the Third Hokage was forced to tolerate Danzo's actions, lest he risk destabilizing the village further.

As news of the Fourth Hokage's death spread, the great nations of the shinobi world began to stir. The villages of Kumo, Kiri, and Suna watched with interest, weighing the implications of Konoha's sudden loss.

The village's high mission completion rate, a testament to the Fourth Hokage's leadership, had earned Konoha a reputation as a formidable force. However, with the Hokage's passing, the village's stability was called into question.

The borders of the Fire Country, where Konoha was located, began to see increased movement. Shinobi from neighboring villages, curious about the power vacuum, started to trickle in, testing the waters.

Kumo, in particular, saw an opportunity to expand its influence. The village, known for its exceptional strength and martial prowess, began to make overtures to Konoha's allies, seeking to weaken the village's position.

Meanwhile, Kiri, the village of the mist, watched with a calculating gaze. Their shinobi, masters of stealth and deception, began to infiltrate Konoha's borders, gathering intelligence and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Suna, the village of the sand, adopted a more cautious approach. Their leader, the Fifth Kazekage, chose to maintain a neutral stance, opting instead to focus on strengthening Suna's internal defenses.

As the great nations maneuvered, Konoha's leadership struggled to maintain balance. The Third Hokage, aware of the external pressures, worked tirelessly to reassure the village's allies and maintain the delicate web of alliances.

However, with Danzo Shimura's growing influence and the Uchiha clan's simmering discontent, the village's internal dynamics threatened to boil over. The stage was set for a conflict that would shake the very foundations of the shinobi world.

As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, pondered the growing unrest within the village, he knew he needed something - or someone - to reunify the village and redirect its collective anger. The memory of his predecessor, Minato Namikaze, flashed before his eyes, and with it, a convenient solution crystallized.

The Third Hokage's gaze fell upon the infamous Nine-Tails' attack, which had left an indelible scar on the village. The beast's rampage had been brought to an end by Minato's ultimate sacrifice, but the pain and fear it had instilled in the villagers still lingered.

With calculated precision, the Third Hokage decided to revive the legend of the Nine-Tails, to rekindle the flames of hatred and fear that had once unified the village against a common enemy. By doing so, he hoped to shift the villagers' attention away from their internal conflicts and toward a more tangible, more hated foe.

The Third Hokage's eyes narrowed as he contemplated the implications of his decision. He knew that by manipulating the villagers' emotions, he risked exacerbating the very tensions he sought to alleviate. Yet, he believed the ends justified the means, and that the village's unity was worth the cost.

And so, with a calculated sense of purpose, the Third Hokage set in motion a chain of events that would change the course of the village's history forever. The legend of the Nine-Tails would live on, a constant reminder of the horrors that lurked beyond the village's borders, and the hatred that burned within its heart.

Though Kushina the previous human pillar for the nine Tails beast was still alive but comatose pinning all blame to her would surely achieve his objective. The Hokage new that he could not be the one to do this as he planned to keep his political facade with out spot thus he sortout his comrade in arms Danzo Shimura.

Danzo Shimura truly embodied the darkness of Konaha. His actions though having great hidden implications were always done for the good of the village.

Konaha needed Danzo Shimura to do unspeakable things in the dark so that those in the light may enjoy it without worrying about the things in the dark.

So the Hokage making a few political concertions secured the cooperation of darkness of Konoha leaving his hands and conscious clear of any wrong.
