I Am A Villain

'While I need to wait to find Shisui, revive, and consume him there is something else that I could solve right now.'

Standing inside the seal, Zero opened his eyes, showing a Mangekyou in one and a fully m.a.t.u.r.ed one in the other, waving his hand, the entire surrounding disappeared, and all that remained were the cracked seal, glowing in multiple places and Zero staring at the cracks with interest.

'Thinking about it, this looks somewhat like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception…'

Zero suddenly spoke to Sasuke, who was listening to Naruto rambling and Sakura ridiculing him as always.

Zero: "Sasuke, your next task is up. Go home."

Naruto: "Oi, teme are you listening to me?"

Sasuke merely glanced at Naruto.

Sasuke: "Hn, I don't have time to waste on you. I'm going home."

Sakura: "Sasuke, don't mind Naruto too much."

Sasuke just left without responding.

Naruto: "Hey Sakura, don't you think Sasuke is being colder than usual? Dis something happened?"

Sakura: "I think he acted just like normal. Are you trying to act smart you idiot."

Naruto: "Perhaps… want to go eat some ramen?"

Sakura: "All you think about is ramen."

Naruto: "But it is the most amazing food."

As Naruto and Sakura continued arguing, Sasuke made his way into his home as per Zero's instructions.

…

Sasuke: "What now?"

Zero: "You just need to stay put, I'll do the rest."

As Zero finished talking to Sasuke he made sure to make his magic flow outside the seal, creating an array around the house so undoing the seal would not create a commotion.

'Now for the finishing touch.'

Zero slowly filled the seal with dense mana, slowly filling it until he could feel the strain of the seal. Afterward, on the cracks he created, he slowly sipped the mana in there, forcing the cracks to slowly but surely widen. Little by little one hour passed, and the spaces between the pieces of the seal were visible and wide enough for his soul to go through. Zero's soul was the first to go through the gap, followed by the mana he filled it with, and when he was finally out the seal went back into place as if never touched before this day.

'I am 90% that f.u.c.ker of a god put a trap in that seal so that if I broke it, it would f.u.c.k me over… now it is not broken and even if I was wrong it only has a tiny amount of mana inside it that will dissipate before long anyway. Now to find 'Danzo'. So many experiments to continue with and while I was 'dead' I had a great idea. Every place I go there will be history, great warriors that have already died, that I can revive but only to consume… why can't I use them?'

As Zero entered Danzo, he left a magic seal to communicate with Sasuke in the future.

'The most obvious reason would be their loyalty. So how can I fix that? The most simple answer would be my power of domination, but high ranked combatants have resistance towards it and I can only use it to restrict them or control the battlefield. The next answer would be necromancy but they depend more on numbers than preserving then originals combat power, while also tending to have low intelligence, so I came to the conclusion of using necromancy's superior counter-part, the shadows of the shadow monarch. The ones I create are indeed shadows but I can't just keep creating new skills to suit them. A warrior that molds himself is much better than one molded by somebody else. I have no current way of getting his legacy or assimilating him and chance are that I won't be able to for a long time, considering I don't know the location of the universe and even if I did is not like typing a few numbers on a pc or booking a flight there.'

'The Shadow Monarch, the strongest of the monarchs was basically a monster. I was limited by thinking on the concept of Sung Jin-Woo being the shadow monarch that I forgot the origins of the original one. He was basically a monster created for God's entertainment. So if a god could create someone more powerful than himself … why can't I. It would be even easier for me with all my diverse powers. Annihilation Gear as the base, Boosted gear to get the power level just right, domination to keep him under control and the huge amount of mana supply from my soul should be enough.'

Suddenly 'Danzo' opened his eye.

Danzo: "Any word from Orochimaru?"

A Root Anbu immediately appeared before Danzo.

RA: "No, Lord Danzo. Though a messenger is expected in the next month."

Danzo: "Until then I have a mission for the entirety of root. Start with the small villages and utilize all of our resources to kidnap as many people as possible, be they kids, a.d.u.l.ts, or elderly it doesn't matter. The more you can gather the better."

RA: "Yes Lord Danzo."

'I can't afford to trial and error my way through this as with the amount of power I'd be spending… who knows what would happen if I fail… or succeed. I need to know the result beforehand to make the preparations.'

…

After finishing with the orders, Zero made sure to assign the same to his shadows. Soon he was left alone in the room as he went back to his original appearance.

'Haaa… it has been a while.' – Zero said as he opened a golden portal.

A sword cam flying through, black with red cracks all around it almost like veins glowing with excitement as it could move once again.

'Now, now, don't go getting too smart or I might just have to re-forge you. Nevertheless, it is still nice to see you too, now sit.'

Quickly waving through the air the sword embedded itself next to Zero's chair.

'Now, where to go about this little experiment… the moon? No, the rabbit might wake up or the old man might visit… further away might invite the Otsutsuki clan… I'll just have to seal a place… maybe this room. Though I'll probably need to include Enkidu as well, the power will definitely go beyond a supernova. I can use Divide on the excess power… so many variables, so many ways for this to go wrong… just makes me want to do it even more… if I can really create a being on par with the Shadow Sovereign, Ashborn then it will all be worth it, even if I end up blowing this whole planet to bits.'

Sitting in his chair, Zero continued thinking to himself silently, but if somebody looked closely they would be able to see the crazed smile in his face as well as the Mangekyou and 3 tomoe Sharingan continuously spinning in his eyes.

[A.N: "It is theoretically possible to create the Shadow Monarch, it is mentioned that he was 'made' by 'GOD'. Using a combination of the sacred gears('Annihilation Maker' to give a general idea and/or specific powers, 'Boosted Gear' to increase the power beyond any limits of the 'Annihilation Maker' and 'Sephiroth Graal' to create a life/transfer one, with the help of 'Boosted Gear'. His ability to decide the future and Telos Karma to increase the chances to the maximum) and Zero's unlimited mana I think it is not impossible and on the contrary quite possible for him to create a being even if it is more powerful than him. If he uses 'Bind Dominator' and 'kotoamatsukami' I think Zero can keep him under control even if it is more powerful.]
