Chapter 128: Ishval
Chapter 128: Ishval
Thus began the days of great turmoil in the Uchiha Clan.
Arriving back at the cliff that should have become Konoha of the future, under the nagging of a certain pissed off kid. The Loud croud finally made it there.
There, the two women, as virtuous wives, prepared the home, using the capsules, while the three of them were outside.
The man was as imposing as ever, yet the amused smile couldn't help but show a definite sign of intimacy.
Madara roared:
"So what do we do now?"
Marek sat down.
"Let's get to know each other better first."
Madara retorted:
"What?! I don't-"
He was stopped by the hand of his brother:
"Nii-san. Don't be rude."
The Kid calmed down, as the little brother presented himself:
"I am Izuna Uchiha, son of Tajima"
He spoke of himself, of his age, of his life, of his deceased brothersMarek couldn't help but notice the bitterness in Madara's eyes as Izuna talked about the brothers.
Marek sighed as his abyss eyes landed on this kid. He stood up:
"You two"
"Let's travel a bit.Shall we?"
The two were surprised by his words. Madara was the first to retort:
"Travel.Do you think I have time for that?"
Marek laughed lightly:
"Don't worry in the places we will be travelling too. Time passe differently. So you actually do have plenty time for that."
"By the time you will be backEverything will be the same."
He looked at the two brother's confused gaze, as he laughed:
"I can't train you two in this state."
A Blue portal opened up, he turned around as he announced:
"Let's goWe have a lot to visit."
The two were still confused but still followed him.
Alchemist World. Ishval.
War. Massacre. And absolute bloodshed. As a Genocide was orchestrated.
The sounds of blood splattering, the cries of pain and agony, this was a land in far worst state than the Shinobi World.
At leastIn the Shinobi World military conflicts between military clans.
At Least.In the Shinobi World there was a sense of battle.
At LeastIn the Shinobi World there was no women bowling over the gutted corpses of their deceased baby, no old man burned to oblivion.
No Mother prostituting itself for a piece of bread to feed her child.
The insupportable smell of pouder. The icrusciating cling and clang of metal, dancing with the never ending sound of splattering corpses.
Men, women, old and childrenEveryone was equalNo one was spared against overwhelming, invincible power.
It was watching Gods massacre men.
The Alchemists were roaming through the battlefield like ruthless reapers, their hand already drenched with much blood, too much to count.
Here, in this land the world seemed to end. As all signs of civilization seemed to elude everyone present here.
In the midst of the endless Chaos.
Three Cloaked and hooded advanced calmly, one lean man and two children.
The Lean man had a cold, indifferent gaze. This scene of genocide, despair and utter humiliation. How could he forget it?
How could he forget how his people were slaughtered like pigs and brought to their knees begging for a way out?
How could he forget how even his men lost their driving will after following him in his vain struggles?
He was an Emperor now.But he never forget, that humiliation. And he never will.
Behind him, the two kids were trembling with deep fright at the sight.
As Shinobi they have seen blood, they have seen death and battle. But they have never seen such large scale athrocities.
Looking at the roaming blue clothed Alchemists, they felt their guts about to come out of their bodies.
Those people were even worse than Shinobi.
The leading man spoke lightly, with a slighty light tone:
"Welcome to Ishvala."
"How do you like our first city?"
Madara, clenched his fist tightly, as if trying to phase out everything around him. Izuna had a different reaction:
"This is."
".Why?!!"
Marek hearing the question of the boy, only sighed:
"Why?"
"Why? Indeed"
"This is such a broad question. It will take quite long time to respond to---"
Another person cut him
"Why is such things happen in the world? Why must be there be war!!? This is the meaning of his question?!!"
Marek laughed, hearing the boy's question:
"Good question. But Madara"
His deep cold abyss eyes pierced the boy's:
"Do you think strong people ask themselves this question?"
Hearing those worlds, his heart tightened. The Emperor sighed before resuming his walk. A Long, heavy silence interrupted by the horror of shrieks here, and the nefarious odor of prouder, guts and blood there.
The two kids looking at endless world of pain, felt a deep sense of melancholy in their heart.
"War happens. Because it is the nature of intelligent being to wage it."
The two looked at the broad back of the Monarch.
"The Useful remains, the useless dies. It's the way any existences in the Multiverse evolves."
"War exists. Because the very nature of existence is cruel."
"Some think that war is waged because of interests, others think it's because of gods."
"Ressources, hegemony, love, vengeanceAll are good catalyst of wars."
"Yet I think if the intelligent mind was as stupid to wage war for emotion or as calculative as to only wage it for benefits."
"It will be a vain and caricatural dichotomy of the human mind."
"First of allIt's never a country or an individual who wages war."
He smiled:
"I think above allwhen matters of war are involved, it's question of civilization and identity."
"Civilization wage wars to forge identities."
"In other worlds.War is the result of a constant construction of a plural identity."
The two boys seemed lost in the Monarch difficult words. Seeing their pitiful despite:
"Never have I thought that I, Marek Vega, would have illiterate brothers."
"Who is the illiterate?!! You Bastard!!!"
"Oh? So that means you recognize me as your elder brother?"
"What?!! I am not your brother!!!"
The Emperor chuckled lightly before sighing to the sky.
The Sky was blindingly bright and blue, but it seemed more of a tasteless joke than a sign of fortune.
