Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Decision
Tetsuya's departure from the Hidden Cloud Village was only the beginning of his journey. For years, he had wandered the war-torn lands of the shinobi world, fighting and honing his skills. The betrayal of his father, the Raikage, had stoked a fire within him, and the storm within his heart could no longer be contained. As he ventured further from the reaches of the Hidden Cloud, Tetsuya became more attuned to the political chaos plaguing the world—war between villages, rogue shinobi, and the simmering flames of destruction.
It was during these travels that Tetsuya encountered a strange group of rogue shinobi known as the Akatsuki. This infamous organization, originally founded as a group of renegades with noble ideals, had grown into something much more dangerous. They sought to control the power of the Tailed Beasts and overthrow the existing power structures, using their might to reshape the world in their own image.
At first, Tetsuya was unsure about joining such an organization. But as he witnessed their actions—their power, their discipline, and the sheer potential of their combined forces—he saw an opportunity. The Akatsuki could offer him the power he sought, the ability to carve his own path, and perhaps the leverage to confront the Raikage and reclaim what was his.
