In the void, there's nothing that can be seen. There's nothing that a person, can mistake as another. As there's no one in the place. Only void, reign supreme. However, even in the voids, there's footsteps reverberating. Each and every one of them, even the first footstep after another clearly echoing in the place.
The source of it all came from a single person. A person, that shouldn't be able to be there, the person, that shouldn't be able to stay sane, could naturally calm himself down. Even if he's stuck in the void for as long as he is, he can stay sane…
To him, a day, or even a millennium holds no differences. The only thing he cares is amusement. Even in this void, he can make amusing things overall thing that he could recall. He can theorize many things in the place.
Even in the void, there's nothing can make him stop, to bemuse. As the time revolve, even if there's no change in the void, the man chuckles, and smiles widely. "hahaha! at last, I can finalize the theory of atomic fissure, there's no need for the molecules to… then… we can just… hahaha!"
Days after another, the world still stay the same, the only difference is the man, at some point in time, he starts to lose light in his eyes, even so, he smiles widely, even in his listless state, he's still grinning or chuckling. The day went on, and the void still stays the same.
Until one day, a crack appeared, day after another the crack widen and widen, until the day a hole, albeit small appeared. As the day continued, the hole became bigger, and until it suddenly stops at the size of a grown-up adult could enter from. Even then, the hole starts to fix itself, and the hole became smaller day after another. It's a shame that the man in the void no longer holds a life in his body…
However, a small light could be seen spinning around his body, and seeing the crack, it stops spinning around the body, and glance at the hole. It came closer to the hole, and fixedly stare at the part where the hole became smaller.
The fixed part could be seen, growing while the hole subsided, when the light shines through the part that just closed, it can see a scene played out of the void. It suddenly jerked, and see the thing in front. And then, watch the scene after another being played out of boredom.

The lights hopped here and there, thus making a scene like a rabbit hopping in the meadow joyfully, unknown to the light, the body of the man vanished from the void. As the light enjoying its blockbuster. The world outside filled with cries after cries of sorrow and sadness. Tragedy after another happened outside.
Nothing could be done, as the day continues to revolve, in a certain place, in a certain village, cries of babies echoing in the village, as the cry became bigger and louder. The villager cheers to the birth of… the triplets.

Under the moonlight of the starry sky, one could see a couple sat in a tree branch, seeing eye to eye at each other. Their faces reflecting in each of their pupils', soon, they exchanged a kiss. A peck-like kiss.
Then, the peck started by the male, while another time, the peck started by the female, the thing continued for several times, until their kiss, became more passionate, and hotter.
Exchanging each-others' saliva and tongue, they stay locked for several minutes, forgetting about breathing all-together.
Intoxication could be seen in their eyes, by the time they separated their lips, but then…
ROARRRRR
The roaring of a beast reverberates in the night, awaken them from their intoxicated state, and the couple jumps off from the branch, and see the sea of fires enveloping the village. Cries and echoes of despair filled the night sky, and shout of utter hate shook the village.
Laughter after another, fill the whole world.
They shook.
The couple looks at each other’s eyes, as sadness permeated in the air, this separation could hold them forever, and this separation could be perceived, as the last time, they could see each other. They hate to part from one another. But, there's no other way…
Else
The world, won't move the way the world's fate being lined in. their feeling to each other would only clash with how fate will…
Of course, if it 'him' from before, he wouldn't care less but the 'him' by this time will care more about this, as the fate has more jurisdiction than him, and a little difference in fate could make 'him' became the one to destroy everything, even the 'her' that 'he' loved…
Parting, they turn their back to each other, without exchanging any words, while the man ran outside of the village, the girl put her mask over her face, and ran towards the village, holding the swords in her back and head towards the Kyuubi.
not long after the village became smaller behind his back, a person closes their distance...
"Are you really alright with this?" said the person in a black brocade, ran alongside him.
"As long as this path can let her live... I choose this path..."
"Hahaha! her? I know you're eyeing more than her, but, I'll let this one slide for now..."
"fufufu... for a man, to unable to protect his dearest is a shame he'd bear for as long as he lives... that's why. I can't even hold them in my embrace, as they'll slip away from me, the day that... happens...."
"Indeed... nothing we can do... like that time... isn't something so meager..."
"I wish my choice this time, won't be as damaging as the choice I make that time..."
"it's 'our' choice, don't blame yourself..."
"hahaha! the great Ootsusuki Izana could say something like that! I'm touched! hahaha"
"Time's up, I'll leave..."
"okay..."
with a poof, the man named Izana leave in a smoke puff, and the man continues his feet leaving the village behind his back...
Thus, the tragedy of Konoha village, along with the death of 4th Hokage, enacted the start of the story, where the tragedy and hope, fill the whole ninja world…
