memories

The Hokage were Madara, Tobirama, Kagami, Minato, Orochimaru, Itachi, and Sakura.

Obito was the captain of Team 7. Kakashi didn’t have Obito’s Sharingan so neither of them covered their eyes, but Obito still had that big facial scar from the Third War.

When my father mysteriously disappeared without a trace, I resolved to defect from the village in order to find him my own way because I was unsatisfied with the pace at which the village was trying to find him. I became the leader of the new Akatsuki, which had almost entirely different members than in canon. The original Akatsuki founded by Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato perished with its leaders during the battle against Hanzo.

Hinata defected from the village with me to help me start the Akatsuki. We found and recruited Jiraiya along the way, who was a fugitive for betraying the village during the Second War and abandoning his teammates. So far the other members I remember are Gaara, Suigetsu, Karin, Jugo, Kimimaro, Ryuzetsu, Zabuza, Haku, and Zetsu.

Since Jiraiya oversaw the emergence of the original Akatsuki, I allowed him to act as the organization’s figurehead to draw attention away from myself per Zetsu’s suggestion. Zetsu attempted to manipulate me to reach his end goal of resurrecting Kaguya in rather unconventional ways, but eventually he convinced me to form a plan to force Orochimaru, the interim Hokage after the mysterious disappearance of my father, to use their scientific knowledge to recreate the Rinnegan using the remainder of Madara’s DNA from within his crypt.

Because I only possessed Asura’s half of the spiritual chakra needed to awaken the Rinnegan, the plan was to infuse Madara’s essence into myself so that I would gain the doujutsu. I intended to use this power to hasten my search for Minato, but Zetsu had a different idea in mind.

However, I didn’t get the chance to make use of Orochimaru’s results by the time they finished with their experimentation. Minato’s whereabouts were revealed when he escaped the prison Zetsu had crafted for him, having been the one to abduct my father in the first place. He tried to warn me about Zetsu, but Zetsu took advantage of our distraction to “possess” me with his black side.

He forced me to fight my weakened father while White Zetsu kept Orochimaru occupied. The battle began in the Hokage’s office, but migrated to a large open field where both Minato and I could activate our jinchuriki cloaks without damaging the village too much. Both halves of Kurama were distressed at having to fight each other, much like my father and I, but Black Zetsu persisted until I delivered the final blow.

I watched my father die at my own hands. The grief was such that even Kurama felt intimidated by the dark intent broiling within me. My hatred tamed Kurama’s chakra to the point that I could fully access my Tailed Beast Mode. I very nearly caused the second Kyubi attack on Konoha, so lost in rage was I, but Sasuke arrived in time to subdue me with his Sharingan. He let me grieve in his arms for a while before ANBU came to apprehend me.

I was locked up for the time it took several villages to track down and apprehend the rest of the Akatsuki, eventually returning Hinata to Konoha. Needless to say she wasn’t very happy with me, but she was released from holding along with me when the time came. When Jiraiya was brought back, he was kept in a special holding centre where only authorized personnel and Orochimaru were allowed to enter. Zabuza and Haku fell off the radar entirely, Kimimaro was killed in the efforts to capture him, Gaara was returned to his family in Suna, and Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo went into hiding for the time being.

I actually bonded with Hinata quite a bit while we were in the Akatsuki. She showed me parts of her softer side that I didn’t know she had and we shared each other’s first kiss. We were never really a couple until after we came back to Konoha, though. I was confused about my feelings for both her and Sasuke, but in the end we all worked things out together. Sasuke and Hinata were already good friends from childhood since their families were close and it was only so long before she fell for Sasuke’s stupid charms too.

Sakura had become Orochimaru’s apprentice at some point along the way. Instead of becoming a medic nin, she became a renowned scientist. She spent a lot of her time in the village while I was away to prepare for the worst case scenario if the time came to confront me. Meanwhile, Sasuke spent as much time as possible looking for me and eventually came across Tsunade and trained under her. He inherited the Strength of a Hundred Seal and learned a lot about medical ninjutsu, though he mostly utilized it for offense rather than healing.

Hinata, Sasuke, and I had only one child, a daughter who was our world's version of Himawari. When Hinata got pregnant, we weren’t sure which of us was the father. Sakura and Orochimaru kept us up to date on the baby’s progression, which began as two fetuses, but one absorbed the other in the womb. When Himawari was born, she had the Rinnegan. Sakura theorized that this happened because two eggs were fertilized during conception (I hope I don’t need to explain the nitty gritty details).
