SCP-101010 – The Ten RingsObject Class: SafeSpecial Containment Procedures:SCP‑101010 is not currently under Foundation containment. The Ten Rings remain in the possession of the Mandarin, an anomalously long‑lived warlord and leader of the global terrorist organization known as The Ten Rings.
Until recovery is possible, SCP‑101010 is to be tracked remotely. Foundation operatives assigned to this SCP must monitor all activity relating to the Mandarin, the Ten Rings organization, and any anomalous manifestations attributed to SCP‑101010.
If an opportunity for retrieval arises, no action may be taken without authorization from at least two (2) members of the O5 Council.
SCP‑101010, once recovered, must be stored in a Mark‑VII Anomalous Containment Lockbox, secured within a standard Safe‑Class containment vault. No experiments may be conducted without explicit authorization from O5‑Command.
Description:SCP‑101010 consists of ten metallic rings of unknown origin, composition, or method of manufacture. Despite being structurally ancient—estimated at over 1,000 years old—the rings show no deterioration on a molecular level.
Current data indicates that SCP‑101010 grants the wielder several anomalous abilities, including but not limited to:
Immortality or extreme longevity
Enhanced vitality
Unclassified energy projection
Unknown, potentially reality‑altering properties
Full capabilities remain unknown due to lack of direct access.
Narrative Continuation
After finalizing the SCP file, I leaned back in my chair, letting the data run through my mind. SCP‑101010 was dangerous—too dangerous to ignore. But retrieving it now would be reckless. The Mandarin's exact power level was still uncertain, and even with all our advances, even with an army of enhanced personnel, we did not move against threats we didn't fully understand.
So I needed someone who understood subtlety.
Someone who understood patience.
I assigned Kakashi Hatake, one of Julius's high‑ranking summoned operatives, as the project's handler. Kakashi was calm, analytical, and methodical—exactly what was needed. His job wasn't to seize the rings. Not yet.
His orders were simple:
Observe the Mandarin.
Map the Ten Rings' influence.
Identify weaknesses or opportunities.
Prevent escalation without revealing Foundation involvement.
Kakashi understood immediately. With the Sharingan, the Mangekyō, and his own genius, he wouldn't be caught unless he wanted to be.
Meanwhile, I continued to think through the bigger issue: the rings themselves. If they were MCU‑tier, we could handle them. A small team of anomalous personnel could overwhelm the Mandarin.
But if they were comic‑tier…
That would make the Mandarin a nation‑level threat, maybe higher.
I wasn't sending anyone to die for nothing.
So instead, we waited. We watched. And we prepared.
Kakashi had his assignment.
Now all that remained was the opportunity.
If you want, I can continue with Kakashi's reconnaissance, the Mandarin's reaction, an early encounter, or O5‑Command debating how to handle the situation.
