"Revolution? What are you talking about Sasuke?" Naruto nervously. He thought his old friend was past all this revenge crap. It was why Sasuke had joined them in the war against Madara and his forces…then against the Rabbit Goddess Kaguya. With both the man dead and that Goddess sealed away, Naruto thought that things would go back to normal. He guessed that was just wishful thinking.
"So, you intend to go through with it." It was not a question and more of a statement from the being known as the Sage of Six Paths. The Sage looked both disappointed and sad at what this version of his transmigrated son, Indra, had turned into. The boy really was angry at the world and like Indra, he was angry at the Sage. It still hurt, even after all these years, but he would still not have chosen any differently.
"I do," Sasuke started, his eyes roving over the massive beasts, the Tailed Beast that this entire war had been started to protect, then over to the Sage, his teammates, and finally to his ultimate rival, the transmigrate of Asura, Naruto Uzumaki. Indra had made sure that the blood feud between the brothers would be forever with the Sage watching on haplessly for all eternity. "The way this world is, it is wrong. I intend to change it by getting rid of the Kages and then fighting the rest of the world if I must."
"Do you hear yourself?!" Naruto roared. "Just come back and we can figure this out a more peaceful way!"
Sasuke glared at the blond. The one person who had been in his way since the beginning. Although he had to admit, this was partially due to the brothers they represented. This world did need to change and he would do it, but Naruto would forever be in his way. Eyeing the beasts again, he came up with an idea. It would free them in a sense. Free the Tailed Beasts from the humans that just wanted to keep on using them. It would free the Sage from watching his sons continue to fight and die over and over again. It would free him of his only friend left to bring revolution and much-needed change to this decaying world. "I know what I have to do too but I don't have the strength to do it…" Sasuke sighed out in his usual annoyed tone that caught his old friend and teammate off guard. Good. "Alone."
That seemed to make everyone's skin crawl. What did the last Uchiha plan to do?
Sasuke's Rinne-Sharingan flashed for a moment and the Tailed Beasts found themselves being suspended in mid-air. Then to the horror of the Sage, their energy began to mix together as they were forced to spin around rapidly.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" yelled out a panicked Sage, fearful for his creations…his children!
"Starting my revolution and ending this cycle. I must sever all bonds and get rid of the one person who could stop me. The Tailed Beasts have suffered enough in this world, so their power will be used to do this." Sasuke drawled out but one could see the strain on his face. Naruto perked up at this and ran at his friend to put a stop to all of this madness, only for a quick Chidori Stream to put a stop to that, stunning the blond right below the combined energy of the screaming Tailed Beasts.
The energy itself was not enough, it needed direction. Sasuke did not know if this would work or not, but he had seen Kakashi and Obito do the Kamui enough times to be able to replicate it with his new teleportation Jutsu. Focusing the power at the point of conversion, Sasuke felt his eye bleed as a highly unstable rift opened in the air and started to suck in the Tailed Beasts, some of the area around them, and the stunned Naruto himself.
After a moment, the Sage sighed. Maybe…this was for the best. This way, the cycle could end and they could finally rest. But…no more pain. No more pain was to be inflicted on his children! Using his own power, he managed to stabilize the rift just as Naruto went through it. Then the Tailed Beasts' spirits were taken too and the rift closed. As he felt himself fading, he smiled. This way, they would survive the ordeal.
But this world…he did not know what was going to happen to it now. Maybe that was for the best, but so was making it so Sasuke was not God or the revolutionary he thought he was.

All Might, the Symbol of Peace, stood proudly against the longtime nemesis of his shared quirk. He was the current user for One for All and he had significantly boosted this power throughout his life, which caused his own body to buff up to the point he looked like a giant bodybuilder. Too bad the quirk had been accidentally created by the man in front of him, All for One.
All for One was a Symbol of Terror for all of society. The name was also his quirk because he could steal other quirks all for himself. Normally, he dressed like that of a dapper gentleman but right now, he was a bloody mess and some of his blood was staining his white hair. He looked to be losing and through that notion, he was being desperate. He was about to combine many of his combat quirks to deliver a devastating blow to the equally tired Hero in front of him, but something strange happened near the alley they were fighting in that made them pause their battle.
Both men were still in varying shades of shock and a bit of horror as the night sky lit up like in a light show. Then, it seemed to crack open as a rift appeared. The horror came from nine faces of various creatures that twisted around the rift in the sky. A black…speck dropped the rift as well, not that many would be able to see it, and the creatures rushed towards it like all their lives depended on it as the rift closed like it was never there.
It was by far the strangest thing either man had ever seen and it was All for One that had recovered from the sight first. Looking at All Might, All for One grimaced as he felt pain again, the adrenaline leaving him. But this was his chance, he could take out the Symbol of Peace…. but at what cost to himself? He was already exhausted, bloody, and…yup, that pain meant broken bones and some major internal bleeding. Oh god, that hurt! His healing quirks weren't working fast enough! On one hand, his many quirks could get him over there and end this or at the very least mortally wound the Blond Buffon.
On the other hand, he thought better of it. Lowering his eyes, he grimaced in pain. All Might, despite the injuries he gave him, still looked ready to go, so there would be no doubt that the man would retaliate harshly. The man did have a hard-on to beat his face in. Then there was also the matter of the boy he had adopted. A possible future replacement body, a leader if he eventually croaked, and a son to mess with All Might. The boy's origins revolved around the Nana Shimura, All Might's predecessor. That would eventually break All Might's Spirit!
All for One chuckled as he snuck away. He was no stranger to failure; he had learned much from it. What was one more?
All for One laughed to himself when he heard All Might cry out in shock that he was no longer there.
Classic.

Kaina Tsutsumi, also known as Lady Nagant, walked along one of the paths in the park she was in. She was a tall woman with a very curvy body, something she sometimes used to get the upper hand on a few of her targets. She was not sure her old friend Midnight would be proud of that fact or horrified given her current profession. Her hair, which was currently tied in a ponytail was dark blue with pink streaks. She also had purple eyes that were dulled from her last job. Currently, she was in her hero costume, not that she would openly call herself a real hero these days. Her outfit consisted of a simple black bodysuit with two dark green plates underneath her chest and knee guards for protection, but she hardly needed it due to her job needing stealth nearly all the time. Over her right eye, she wore something akin to a scouter from Dragon Ball Z, it really helped her aim with his gun-type quirk. She even had a dark green utility best of sorts, and dark green boots to match.
The reason for her despondent attitude was that she was returning from another job that the Public Hero Safety Commission sent her on. Another shit mission all about 'keeping the peace.' Peace, the one they had created was fragile and when All Might eventually tired, she doubted that would hold. She did not even believe in it, especially since her employers had groomed her into being the contract killer that she was today.
The very thought that they groomed her to be this…monster, angered her beyond belief. The Commission was no better than some old-timey spy agency that thought they could do no wrong and they were always right. But even she could see the corruption taking place. Kaina hated it but most of all, she hated herself. She had grown up with light in her eyes thinking that she would be one of those long-distance heroes that could make a difference. Instead, she was lured to the Commission and she chose to work for them.
It…had been a mistake, a massive lapse in judgment.
She did not want this. She did not want to kill Villains and Heroes like their lives meant nothing! She wanted to leave the Commission, but the President, her boss was too much of a corrupt hardass to ever let her leave. She was just…too good at her job.
She was trapped with no way out and it was driving her into a deep depression, one that could eventually drive her mad if she did not get help. There had to be a way out, but for the life of her, she just could not figure out how.
Kaina wiped her tears so she could get to her handler with the straight face she was known for, but before she could take another step, the sky above her cracked open in a brilliant and near-blinding flash of light. Followed by the horrible sound of creatures, animals, in pain.
It was horrible and Kaina was not sure she wasn't just going insane from all the stress and guilt. Trying to keep a calm mind about all this, which was very hard mind you, she was able to make out what kind of animals were up in the sky, but some of them just looked…odd. A tanuki with strange markings, a freaking blue fire cat, a one-eyed turtle maybe, a red gorilla, a dolphin, a slug, a beetle knight thing, a bull, and a red fox with rabbit ears, almost like her old friend Rumi. All in all, there were nine creatures that she did not know how to help and it hurt to see these creatures in pain for some reason.
Then, to her further horror, something else fell out of the rift. This time something much smaller. She at first strained to see what it was until she used the scope function of her scouter to see that it was a person! A person that was falling at was falling at an incredible rate…wait that was a child?! An unconscious child! What the hell was going on!?
As soon as the child fell out of the rift, the creatures gain a sense of self again, looking at the boy in concern until the Fox cried out a negative and they all when after the boy, the rift closing behind them.
Kaina was not sure what was going on and at this point, she didn't care. There was a child at risk of dying and she was going to save them somehow this time instead of a needless death occurring! Jumping into a nearby tree to climb it, she came to the realization that these trees in the park were not very high at all! No matter, she jumped off it just in time as the boy reached her. This would be a hard drop, but she had to do one good thing, she had to!
More light filled her vision, this time from the boy himself as the light of the rift faded. At first, it was formless as it suspended the two of them in mid-air with a glow around them. Then it formed into a person with a really strange get-up and she had seemed a lot of strange costumes over the years. The person in the light had short spiky hair held up by a headband of some sort. He wore a rather ornate kimono that would be seen as ancient nowadays with magatama symbols around his collar. It was all held together by a grey sash. Other than the golden light, there was not much color to him.
He seemed to give Kaina a small smile as he lowered them safely to the ground and it was at this point that she noticed the animals were around them as well, only much smaller than when they appeared and they all seemed to be worried for the kid instead of themselves. Her expression became baffled when one of them, the cat, spoke.
"Well, this is unexpected. I suppose now he can have a proper childhood." The Cat muttered before she and the other animals dove into his body, leaving only the glowing man and the angry-looking fox looking right at her.
"I can sense the negative emotion rolling off you woman." The fox growled protectively.
"True, but they seem to be directed at herself more than anything." The golden man replied sadly. "Kurama, for now, I feel we can trust her. It seems to me that she needs some light in her life, they could be good for each other."
"Hmph, I will be keeping my eye on her." Kurama, the fox, muttered, glaring the whole time as he too sunk into the kid's body, which looked to be around 9 years old.
"Wait, what is this? Who are you all? Who is the kid?! WHAT KIND OF QUIRK DOES ALL THIS?!" Kaina shouted in panic, the emotions of tonight were really messing with her.
"Ah yeah, I figured this would be an issue." The man replied while rubbing the back of his head. "To put it simply, we are…from another world entirely. I do not know what a 'quirk' is but Chakra gave us the ability to do this. As for why we are here, this kid just got done fighting in a war for all world and his old teammate turned traitor used some of the power my dad gave him to start his own revolution by sending this kid away using the beasts you saw. He is my reincarnation of sorts. My dad…who was the Sage of Six Path and a powerful person, saw what was happening and made sure we all survived the trip here…I cannot feel him much anymore…except for the gift he gave the kid. By the way, the kid's name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am Asura. Please take care of him if you can, his presence does seem to help those who need it, despite his past."
Kaina just stared at the man, trying to process all that she learned. War, betrayal, powerful Sages, super beasts, reincarnation!? It was all a lot to take in and if she had not seen the rift, she wouldn't be so inclined to believe anything this…ghost just said. Oh god, this was giving her a headache.
"Allow me." Another voice said before another ghost appeared and boy, she was beautiful. That red hair was striking! "Due to his deeds, the boy is connected to a great many people back in his world. I am Kushina, his mother. Allow me to show you." Before Kaina could react, Kushina had already pressed a spectral thumb to her mind's eye on her forehead. At first, people began to show up all around her, people only she could see. An armless blond man that had to be the boy's father, a giant white-haired man, another old man in official-looking robes smoking a pipe…and more. They all just came showing up before her world turned white.
After a moment, the world came back into view and Kaina found tears rolling down her face. This really was a second chance at a childhood for this boy. He had not been more than 17 from what she had seen of his memories and what she saw made indignant fury rise in her chest. With the boy's parents dead at birth, his own village treated him poorly and he helped them no matter what! He had been through so much…it was not fair! They groomed him as the Commission groomed her, except much worse!
Kushina smiled sadly as Kaina hugged her son to her chest like their lives depended on it as even more tears flowed, making the woman into a sobbing mess. "Take care of each other, please."
"I will." Kaina choked out. As the light faded, she looked sadly at the blond boy. The boy had been through so much and he was going to be living a second life here. She would make sure he got a life and sadly, he was her perfect ticket out of the Commission. She would make it up for using him like this, but this way, they would be free to live their lives
