Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3: Eye of Madara: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>Who is you favorite character in Naruto? It’s a tough question alright, so many different characters to pick between. Well, I can’t really <br>

<br>

decide myself, but one of them is definitely Tobi. Or at least he used to be…<br>

<br>

To those of you who have got no clue who he is, Tobi is first introduced as a clumsy newcomer to the Akatsuki, the antagonist <br>

<br>

organization of the series. He is teamed up with Deidara, were he acts as his inexperienced, almost stupid sidekick. It’s later revealed <br>

<br>

that Tobi is actually the evil mastermind behind the Akatsuki’s operations, plotting to use the tailed beast’s powers for his own motives. <br>

<br>

From there on, he is the primary antagonist of Naruto, claiming to be the long-dead Madara Uchiha, although there is debate whenever <br>

<br>

he is actually Madara Uchiha, or really Obito Uchiha, a former comrade of Kakashi. In chapter 599 of the manga, it’s revealed that he IS <br>

<br>

Obito after all, who’s been saved from death and taught by the real Madara. When Madara passed away, Obito took the name for <br>

<br>

himself in order to spread panic upon the world.<br>

<br>

What I am about to tell you is a trauma that’s been hunting my head for a lot of months now. It all happened when I bought Naruto: <br>

<br>

Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, the latest installment in the Ultimate Ninja Storm saga, a fighting game featuring the cast from the Naruto <br>

<br>

universe. I’ve been trying to forget that incident ever since it happened, but I just can’t seem to shake it off. Perhaps I need to share it <br>

<br>

with someone, to confess maybe. If you are easily frightened, DO NOT proceed to read the following text!!! Otherwise, sit back and <br>

<br>

listen to what happened to me about two months ago…<br>

<br>

<br>

My Story:<br>

<br>

I had just been in Gamestop and bought Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. To give a short description of it; it’s a Naruto-based fighting <br>

<br>

game, featuring many of the iconic characters. There’s a Free Battle mode where you can fight your friends in multiplayer or against the <br>

<br>

computer as you please. There’s an Online Mode where you fight other players online. Then there’s an Ultimate Ninja Mode, following <br>

<br>

the story of Naruto Shippuden after the death of Nagato, till the end of the 4th great ninja war. Besides from too many cutscenes, the <br>

<br>

game is actually pretty epic.<br>

<br>

I can’t describe the joy I felt, when I learned that Tobi was in the game. Unfortunately, I was terrible at playing him, so I tried another <br>

<br>

one. I grew pretty fond of Kakashi; great speed, great damage and easy-to-perform jutsu’s. The perfect character for battle! It didn’t <br>

<br>

take me long to complete Ultimate Ninja Mode, then I would spend hours playing online matches against others. I don’t like to brag, but <br>

<br>

I was a pretty darn good gamer if I must say so myself, I won almost every match I played.<br>

<br>

One day, however, everything changed for me…<br>

<br>

I was playing Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 online at home one evening, while my parents were out visiting some friends of theirs. I didn’t feel <br>

<br>

like going, so I begged my mom to let me stay home, which she accepted after a while.<br>

<br>

As I was playing, I received a message in Playstation Networks from some random user named “Shinobi-Lord969”. I instantly checked <br>

<br>

my message inbox to see what it read;<br>

<br>

“Hi there! I recently learned about this Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 expansion, and I found it to be amazing. I wish to share it with every <br>

<br>

Ultimate Ninja Storm player, so that all can enjoy it. Please go ahead and play it, and share it for the good of all Naruto fans! Have fun!”<br>

<br>

In the bottom of the message was some downloadable content, including a game. The game was called “Naruto-Shippuden-Ultimate-<br>

<br>

Ninja-Storm-3-Eyes-Of-Madara”. Sweet, the person was right, an expansion! Eyes of Madara, what an awesome title, I thought. I had <br>

<br>

to play this, immediately! And my parents were gone for the rest of the night, so I was sure not to be interrupted. What a nice <br>

<br>

coincidence this was! I instantly began to download the game, excited to try it out. As soon as the game was ready, I began to play it. <br>

<br>

That was the biggest mistake of my life…<br>

<br>

<br>

The Game:<br>

<br>

The game began by introducing the logo’s of the makers of the game; Bandai, Criware and Cyber Connect 2. Normally there would be <br>

<br>

an opening, showing some of the game’s contest, but unfortunately there didn’t appear to be one. Instead, it cut directly to the menu <br>

<br>

screen. I noticed that the menu screen were the same one as the original game; the one where Naruto stands on top of the gates to <br>

<br>

Konoha, staring at the beautiful skies. In the top-middle of the screen is the title, and at the bottom-middle is a text, telling you <br>

<br>

to “press start to continue”. The normal theme were playing, nothing seemed new or changed. I was kind of disappointed about this; I <br>

<br>

had at least expected a little change. Oh well, not that big a deal anyway, I thought. But when I pressed “start”, something weird <br>

<br>

happened. For a split second, a disturbing close-up image of Tobi’s face flashed on the screen. It only appeared for a split-second, so I <br>

<br>

barely caught a good glimpse of it. When the image disappeared, a deep, evil laughter could be heard for about four seconds. <br>

<br>

Then the screen went black for about ten seconds. When the screen came up again, I was at the menu screen. But this time, it looked <br>

<br>

different. The background showed a full perspective image of Konoha. It was devastated, even more ruined than it had been when Pain <br>

<br>

attacked in the series. It was nighttime. There was only one mode I could play at; “Ultimate Revenge Mode”. I felt nervous about this. <br>

<br>

That Tobi image almost gave me a heart attack, and now this?? What the hell was up with this creepy intro?? I told myself that this was <br>

<br>

just some effects to get the players in the right mood. Ultimate Revenge Mode… was that the new story mode? Probably…<br>

<br>

Without much else to do, I selected the Ultimate Revenge Mode. <br>

<br>

The screen went black for five seconds. As the screen returned, it showed the Forest of Death. It was nighttime, not a single sound could <br>

<br>

be heard in the forest. All the animals had probably gone into hiding by now. There was absolutely no wind either, just plain silence. The <br>

<br>

camera focused on the exact same image in twenty seconds. Then I saw a shadow jumping through the forest. It was Kakashi, the <br>

<br>

copycat ninja and Naruto’s former sensei. But something seemed off. Kakashi had a worried look on his face, almost as if he was scarred <br>

<br>

of something. He ran off as fast as he could, until he slipped on a branch, and landed with his face first on the ground. Kakashi didn’t <br>

<br>

have time to moan over his pain, as he immediately got up again, and continued running. I began to think that he was running away <br>

<br>

from something, or perhaps someone? Either way, I felt scarred as I watched this cutscene. What on earth could <br>

<br>

possibly scare Kakashi like this?? The cutscene ended, and I was now in control of Kakashi. Awesome, I was playing as my best <br>

<br>

character in the game!<br>

<br>

Is what I would have normally thought, but not this time. As Kakashi shared his movement with me, he somehow also shared his fear. I <br>

<br>

felt as if I was being watched, that something or someone was coming after me as I ran. I looked on the map. There was only one way <br>

<br>

to go; forward. And so I did. As Kakashi ran through the forest, there was complete silence. No theme was playing, no sound could be <br>

<br>

heard, besides Kakashi’s footsteps. The silence pierced my nerves as a rusty knife. After what felt like hours of running, a new cutscene <br>

<br>

appeared. Kakashi was still running, but stopped as he saw someone in between the trees; it was Tobi. But something felt wrong about <br>

<br>

him; he was just standing there, starring at Kakashi. He didn’t move an inch of his body. Kakashi switched his expression from shock to <br>

<br>

anger. Kakashi then rushed towards Tobi, raising his fist in a Chidori. As Kakashi rushed towards Tobi, I had a sudden feeling of dread, <br>

<br>

as if something horrible was gonna happen to Kakashi. I wanted him to turn around, walk away from the danger, away from Tobi. <br>

<br>

Kakashi was now right in front of Tobi, ready to blast him with a powerful Chidori. That’s when it happened; Tobi revealed his Sharingan, <br>

<br>

and the screen went black for about ten seconds. I felt worried at this point. I was afraid on Kakashi’s behalf; I wanted to know what <br>

<br>

happened to him. <br>

<br>

As the screen returned, I saw that Kakashi was now in some sick, twisted world. The floor was some sort of black ground, stretching out <br>

<br>

as far as the eye could see. The skies were a giant, purple vortex, ripping off parts of the ground floor, and then consuming them. Some <br>

<br>

distorted tune was playing. It sounded kind of like the boss theme from Sonic CD, but it appeared to have been slowed remarkably <br>

<br>

down. Multiple whispers could be heard in the background, all speaking at the same time, making it impossible for me to hear what they <br>

<br>

said. I noticed that the map were missing, giving me no clue where to go next. Therefore, I chose to make Kakashi run forward, hoping <br>

<br>

that nothing bad would happen. As Kakashi ran ahead, disgusting pictures flashed on the screen every five seconds. I remember every <br>

<br>

one of those pictures; Sasori having his stomach cut open and being hung on his own intestines, Kisame being viciously impaled on <br>

<br>

several iron spikes, Itachi having his body torn to pieces by what appeared to be ordinary human fists and Deidara being blown into <br>

<br>

bloody pieces by his own detonating clay. I saw Kakuzu having all his limbs torn off, Konan being dissolved by acid, Nagato having his <br>

<br>

eyes ripped out, <br>

<br>

and worst of all, the immortal Hidan bound on a burning tree, never to escape the endless fires that consumed him. I felt sick to the <br>

<br>

stomach as these horrifying images flashed before my eyes. I then came to a conclusion of what had happened; Tobi had butchered <br>

<br>

every single member of the Akatsuki in the most gruesome, horrible ways possible. Kakashi had somehow discovered this, and had <br>

<br>

tried to escape, although he could feel that the murderer was right after him. I was scared out of my mind. This could never be an <br>

<br>

official expansion made by the real creators of the game; this was definitely made by some sick fuck who wanted to scare the living hell <br>

<br>

out of others. And he succeeded. A final image flashed before the screen; it was a close-up on Tobi’s sharingan, staring directly at me. <br>

<br>

After that image appeared, I lost control of Kakashi, who fell down on the floor, crying. I felt the agony he was in; he could not escape <br>

<br>

Tobi’s grasp, nor could he fight back. He was trapped in this endless genjutsu world, forever haunted by the brutal discovery he had <br>

<br>

made. There was nothing he could do now, but die. I actually wanted to comfort the poor man. No human deserves to suffer like this. <br>

<br>

Tears fell down my eyes along with Kakashi. After thirty seconds of Kakashi crying, Tobi <br>

<br>

teleported right in front of him. Kakashi looked up on him with a look of pure terror on his face. He couldn’t speak, neither could he think. <br>

<br>

After staring at Kakashi for ten long seconds, Tobi reached his hand out at him. He then launched his fist at Kakashi. The screen turned <br>

<br>

black and an ear piercing scream could be heard. It wasn’t just an ordinary scream, this one sounded too real, almost as if Kakashi’s <br>

<br>

voice actor was being burned alive while recording this. <br>

<br>

Tobi just murdered Kakashi, along with the whole Akatsuki team! Why on earth would tobi eliminate his own organization like this, and <br>

<br>

who the hell would create this horrid game and pass it on to strangers online!?? <br>

<br>

<br>

The screen stayed black for fifteen long seconds. The screen then returned to normal, and showed Konoha. But Konoha was definitely <br>

<br>

not what it used to be; it had been destroyed. The whole village was in ruins, as fires rose from the grounds. The burning corpses of <br>

<br>

several villagers could be found on the devastated streets and inside the flaming houses. The skies were completely covered up by a <br>

<br>

giant cloud of smoke, casting darkness upon the village. Agonizing screams and cries for help could be heard from the villages’ few <br>

<br>

survivers. <br>

<br>

This was a terrible sight, something that I could only imagine in my darkest nightmares. What shocked me the most was actually the <br>

<br>

guy I was now controlling; Madara Uchiha!! Not the Madara that Tobi claims to be, this was the real Madara, the one who had been <br>

<br>

resurrected by Kabuto. Had Madara caused all this? Had I caused all this?? It didn’t appear to be so, as Madara had a shocked <br>

<br>

expression on his face as well. The cutscene ended, and I could now control Madara.<br>

<br>

As I made him walk around the devastated village, I saw the burning corpses of many important characters; Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, <br>

<br>

Choji, Sai, Might Guy, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Rock Lee, <br>

<br>

Tenten, Tsunade, Jiraiya and even Naruto himself!! Now I KNEW that this was no ordinary game. You can never kill Naruto in the <br>

<br>

NARUTO universe, for crying out loud!!! Madara seemed to get a bit more unnerved every time he stumbled across a new victim. It <br>

<br>

seemed that this was something even Madara himself would consider horrifying. Madara may be a tyrant, but whoever did this was the <br>

<br>

pure incarnation of evil. No music was played during this. The only sound to be hear was the obliterating fires and the screams of the <br>

<br>

villagers.<br>

<br>

After walking around the ruined village for about three minutes, a new cutscene appeared. Madara stopped walking, and looked up at <br>

<br>

something. On top of a building stood Tobi, who gazed down at Madara with that haunting sharingan. Madara was shocked to learn <br>

<br>

that his own protégé had caused all this death. Tobi teleported in front of Madara, their eyes fixated at each other. After a few seconds <br>

<br>

of silence, the cutscene ended, and a battle started. <br>

<br>

<br>

I was Madara, fighting against this dreadful masked demon. The battle was a true mindfuck; Tobi was an intensely hard opponent, <br>

<br>

casting one combo after the other. Whenever I tried to attacking him, my hits would have no effects on him. He was only vulnerable <br>

<br>

when he was loading chakra, and it was inpossible to know when he would do that. Luckily Madara was one of the characters I was <br>

<br>

best at playing. Had it been any other character, I would have most certainly lost. In the end, when my health bar was only at about <br>

<br>

8%, I actually managed to defeat Tobi. I don’t think I have ever felt more relieved in my whole life than at that point! But unfortunately, <br>

<br>

this madness <br>

<br>

was far from over. Normally the winner would say something to pronounce his victory and the battle would be ranked, while you <br>

<br>

received points for your battle. But none of that seemed to happen. Instead, the screen cut to another cutscene.<br>

<br>

<br>

Tobi was on his knees, looking down at the ground. Madara observed him for about ten seconds. He then began to walk over to him, <br>

<br>

standing right in front of Tobi, as he actually spoke to him.<br>

<br>

“You cannot defeat me, Obito. I am Madara Uchiha, the god of Shinobi. You are nothing.”<br>

<br>

Madara was about to finish Tobi with a fireball jutsu. But then it happened; the one moment that will haunt me for the rest of my life. <br>

<br>

Tobi activated his Sharingan. Somehow he managed to stun Madara, who was now completely immobile. Madara could do nothing but <br>

<br>

watch in horror as Tobi rose from the ground and starred him directly in the eyes. I saw the glimpse of pure horror in Madara’s eyes; he <br>

<br>

couldn’t believe what was happening, neither could I. Tobi observed Madara’s fear with great pleasure. He had conquered his former <br>

<br>

master.<br>

<br>

“No… You are a dead man…”<br>

<br>

Tobi rushed at Madara, but right before he hit him, my television began to flicker. I was paralyzed by fear at this moment. I wanted to <br>

<br>

turn my playstation off and just do something else, I had wanted to do that ever since the beginning. But curiousity had made me sit <br>

<br>

and watch <br>

<br>

through the whole thing; I had to know why this was happening. The TV continued to flicker for what seemed like 30 seconds. When the <br>

<br>

screen returned to normal, it showed an image that has carved itself into my mind forever; it was the same image of Tobi I had seen in <br>

<br>

the beginning of the game. But this time, it stayed on, so that I could get a perfect glimpse of him. The background was completely <br>

<br>

dark. Tobi was extremely well designed, it looked almost realistic. You could see every small detail on Tobi’s mask. The mask had small <br>

<br>

cracks all over it; a few pieces were missing and dust fell from the mask. It looked so real, almost as if you touched the screen, you <br>

<br>

could feel the mask and its curves. What really got to me was Tobi’s Sharingan. You could actually see every little bloodline and mirror <br>

<br>

reflection in it. It felt like Tobi was starring right into me, right through my body and into my soul. It felt like he was observing me, as I <br>

<br>

sat there paralyzed with horror. On the bottom of the screen was a blood-red text that read “I AM MADARA UCHIHA”. <br>

<br>

The image stayed on-screen for about twenty seconds, but it felt like an eternity. The screen began to flicker violently, as you could hear <br>

<br>

the same demented laugh as in the beginning of the game. But this time, the laugh sounded much darker, almost distorted. The screen <br>

<br>

was flickering for about eight seconds before the screen went black. I was back at the playstation menu screen.<br>

<br>

What the fuck had I just witnesses??? Who was that twisted fuck who had send this to me??? I checked my inbox to see the message <br>

<br>

again. But it was gone...<br>

Update (16-8-13):<br>

<br>

<br>

I spent the next upcoming days searching online for Shinobi-Lord969, but no matter where I searched, I could never find anything. That <br>

<br>

image of Tobi still haunts my mind, especially his eye. No matter where I go, I can always see it in the corner of my eyes, observing me. <br>

<br>

After that incident, I never play or watch anything Naruto-related anymore. I can never look at Tobi the same way again. Whoever says <br>

<br>

that Tobi is a good boy is either stupid or have no idea what they’re talking about. My life has taken a deep fall since then. School, family <br>

<br>

and friends no longer matter to me, the only think that’s in my mind is that cursed game. I’ve lost connection with almost all of my <br>

<br>

friends and my grades have dropped hectically. But none of that matter to me, I need to know who’s behind that game.<br>

<br>

After a week of researching, I have finally found something. It seems Shinobi-Lord969 is a former user on the playstation network, who <br>

<br>

got banned for sending a forbidden file to various users. But it’s just not enough, I need to know exactly who he/she is, who has cursed <br>

<br>

my life. I wanted to find this sick fuck, so I could get his sorry ass locked away forever!!!<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

Update (28-8-13):<br>

<br>

<br>

Yesterday, I received an e-mail on my computer... As I was about to open it, I noticed the name of the one who had send it; “Madara <br>

<br>

Uchiha”. My heart began to beat uncontrollably, but I HAD to know what the mail read. And so I opened the mail. I should have never <br>

<br>

done that…<br>

<br>
