26

Enjoy reading the new arc!

<3

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I wrote down all the letters of the English alphabet on a scroll. I often forgot the pronunciation and had Yume to help me out at times. 

"So this is Q?"

Yup. 

"It.. looks so weird."

So did Japanese when our tutors taught us. At least it has only 26 alphabets. Kanji is much worse. 

"Agreed. This is a nice way to communicate with others - an unknown language no one can decipher."

Practice speaking in English too.

"Fine Yume. How is this for speaking a language foreignly?"

Its a 'foreign language'.

"Ah. I see. And who do we teach this too?"

A person inside Konoha and a person outside as well..

"Why outside?"

Just in case..

"You just want to talk to Itachi don't you? God it feels weird without using honorifics.."

Hehe. I've been exposed. You're good at this.

"Otou san didn't train me mentally for nothing. Fuck I mean dad?"

Ahh.. Those mental training regimes were torturous.

"Akina chan?" 

I looked at Naruto staring at me confused.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Myself." I'm proud to say I answered with a straight face.

"Why?"

"To give myself advice from an expert."

Thanks.

"Um.. okay? Anyways here's a letter for you." Naruto handed me a letter and went out of my room.

When the three of us were staying in one house I made a couple of rules to maintain privacy and distance. The first rule was that no one was allowed to meddle in each other's rooms and that included letters of the sort.

I tore open the letter.

First Assignment today at 2 am. 

Using a fire jutsu I watched the letter burn.

Ever since I agreed to Danzo's offer, he'd been training Sasuke and I personally. Our schedules would overlap sometimes but we rarely saw each other except during normal team missions.

A month had passed. Tsunade was now the Godaime Hokage.

I avoided her like the plague except when we received mission details. 

Danzo made Sasuke and I train from 12 to 6 on alternate days. Since Kakashi met us daily at 9, we would have 3 hours of sleep before having training again.

Looks like Danzo thinks we are capable of missions.

No one knew anything about our little ordeal but I could see Kakashi shoot glances at me when I performed less than he expected because I was tired or something was on my mind.

It was a good thing shinobi make up was available. They are more everlasting and better than the normal ones, often used on missions. It covered my dark circles and bruises.

I hated to admit it, but we were growing more skilled, day by day under his tutelage. 

Sakura was trying really hard to get apprenticeship under Tsunade. The Godaime was considering it. If everything worked out, she'd be the first of us to leave Team 7.

Naruto was learning more air jutsu under Asuma whenever he could. Kakashi was training him on battle techniques.

Sensei discovered that Naruto's pranks could be used for more productive stuff like planning ambushes and Naruto was eager to comply.

Sensei was also teaching Sasuke other fire and lightning based jutsu and training his sharingan.

Me?

He was teaching me water, fire and earth based jutsu of greater ranks.

I was honing my wood style techniques by myself.

Sakura was focusing on improving her taijutsu and reflexes for self defense. She had a few basic water jutsus down in her arsenal but confessed that she was the healing type. He couldn't help her there.

It was now I noticed that we were drifting apart as a team. 

We did missions together, but our training was personalized to our own strengths and weakness. Once a week we'd do sparring at random.

We were all focusing on growing stronger.

Sakura, Naruto and I walked up to our normal training ground where we'd meet sensei.

After a few minutes Kakashi appeared.

"Where's Sasuke?"

Sure enough he was late. He appeared ten minutes later.

"Hn. I'm here."

Kakashi looked at him curiously. "You are late."

"Thanks for stating the obvious." Sasuke snapped.

"Sasuke calm down. Sensei, lets go to Tsunade sama." I said glancing at him. He looked sleep deprived. His hair was longer since he hadn't cut it for so long.

After that little incident with Ami and me agreeing immediately to Danzo, we hadn't talked at all. The evenings would be filled with training or sleeping, trying to catch up on our sleep.

"Team 7. I am assigning you to a C ranked rescue mission since I think you are capable of it." Tsunade said taking a swig of her sake.

Shizune gasped. "Tsunade sama no drinking!"

My eyes widened. 

Not a part of the anime.

Kakashi's single eye widened. "Tsunade sama, they are genin." 

"I know that, Hatake. But looking at the caliber of this team, they are more than fine for it. You have a medic, two pairs of sharingan and an unpredictable ninja." 

I forgot she thought of me as an Uchiha.

"If they return victorious, they might get promoted to group field Chunin."

"Field Chunin huh.. Tsunade sama, you really want to promote them so badly huh?" Kakashi joked.

"What the hell is a field Chunin 'ttebayo?" Naruto asked confused.

"A group field Chunin.. Sometimes, when a genin team is highly coordinated and have a higher success rate than other groups, we promote them to group field Chunin even though they are genin. I have seen enough evidence to know that you'll be up for it. Your chances of becoming Chunin will increase drastically." Tsunade said eyeing each one of us.

This is not in the anime.. This is new. Be careful Akina. Nothing is ever normal with Team 7.

"So what do you say, Team 7?" She smirked knowing our answer.

"I'm in." Sakura nodded.

"Me too 'ttebayo!"

"Hn."

I remained silent as my team looked at me.

"What about our wages?" I asked.

"You're a Senju yet you need more money." Sakura scoffed.

I turned to her frozen. She realized her mistake and slapped her hands over her mouth. 

Tsunade turned to me curiously and she opened her drawers, searching for files. 

I saw my name on my file and paled.

She's going to find out.

"Akina Senju Uchiha!!" Tsunade shouted in surprise and her bottle of sake fell to her floor.

Shizune's pig oinked as Tsunade read my entire file, her eyes furrowing in concentration. She slammed the file on her desk and got up.

Shizune's eyes flitted to me in surprise as she mouthed Senju under her breath.

The Godaime took steps towards me her eyes showing a flurry of emotions I couldn't identify as she told Team 7 to get out.

"Stay out until I tell you to get in. Shizune you too!" She roared.

"God fucking dammit Sakura. You had to do it didn't you." I swore.

Tsunade stopped in front of me and knelt down. I suddenly felt insulted about my height.

Her hazel brown eyes searched into my onyx black ones.

I smiled weakly. "Surprise Tsunade sama. I'm your sister."

"Kana's face and lips. Daichi's eyes and lips. My grandfather's and Kana's hair color. You.."

I blinked in shock as she hugged me. 

"W-why are you hugging me?" I asked extremely confused.

"You are my only living relative. What else should I do?" She whispered.

"Um.. I don't know what to say." I said meekly.

She released me and got up, smiling.

"Naruto taught me a lot of things. I regret not saving my.. lover and brother. I am not going to let the same thing happen to you."

"But we don't even know each other." I said blankly, immediately feeling bad as soon as I said that.

I sounded like a total prat.

She chuckled and ruffled my hair. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't want you to know. Every time I get close to someone, I get hurt emotionally." 

Sure, Tsunade won't die but I was much more cautious and weary of others now. I don't trust anyone.

"Hmm. You make a valid point but would you really like to live your life shying away from emotional attachment and regretting it later on? I do."

"My parents promised that they'd never leave me. And guess what they did? So I'm sorry if I don't trust you. I've become hurt enough times." I said slowly.

"Then let me earn it. Let's have dinner tonight." 

I stared at her. "You really are stubborn, but I stand by my decisions."

"My little imouto is so closed and hurt." She stared at me for a minute suddenly serious. "I won't be easy to get rid of."

"Yeah I don't care. Call my team back inside." I said hotly.

My parents... Hiruzen... Sasuke... Even watching my grandparents appear, say loving words to me and then die again had me feeling emotional.

I've suffered enough already and I don't want to anymore.

"Come back in Team 7, Shizune!" Tsunade shouted as she walked back to her seat.

I glared at her back.

There was a tense silence as Tsunade briefed us about our mission. Or maybe I was the only one who thought it was tense.

"So we have to meet up with a spy for Konoha and bring him back safely because he thinks he's in danger?" 

"Yes. Spying on enemies is very important. This spy will go by the name of Akio Tora."

Naruto giggled. "He's named after that old bats cat."

"That's his stage name. This is how he looks like. He's hiding somewhere along the borders of Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Grass Village. He was our spy for Orochimaru. It seems as if he was found out and he was making his way to Konoha where he was ambushed. He fled. The last time we heard from him was three days ago. He is need of medical attention." Her eyes fell on Sakura who straightened up.

Kakashi took the photo and showed it to the rest of us.

He was a man with black hair and vibrant green eyes. He looked like he was in his mid twenties and had a sharp jawline and a pointy chin. His cheekbones were prominent.

 "Your mission is to bring him back safely at any cost. Both Amegakure and Kusagakure are our enemies, Amegakure being relatively unknown."

I looked at Tsunade extremely surprised. Was she aware of the fact that she was sending us in the direction of Kannabi bridge?

She either didn't know or care.

"Also.. the genin will be going alone." She finished with a smile.

Shizune ran towards her protesting. "It'll be a suicide mission, Lady Tsunade! This mission is meant for Jonin if its related to Orochimaru whom we encountered before. Its madness!"

Kakashi stepped forwards his single eye narrowed.

"Alone? They can barely beat me in a one on one training. How will they go against Orochimaru's henchmen? Are you planning to have them killed?"

"Its also well known that Orochimaru has his eyes set on Akina and Sasuke for giving them a curse mark. I don't want them to go, at any costs." He spoke with barely repressed anger.

"I know that, Hatake. But I am the Hokage and it is my wish." Tsunade's eyes fell on me and she smirked.

I suddenly understood.

I snarled at her and made my way towards her.

I felt Kakashi grab my collar as I struggled against him.

"She's blackmailing me!"

Her smirk widened. "If you agree Akina, I might send Hatake and another Jonin with you."

"No! I made my decision clear Tsunade. I don't want to get hurt again! Let me go bakashi and Naruto!" I struggled to attack her as Kakashi and now Naruto restrained me.

 "Your choice or your team's death. My decision is final. If you refuse, you'll be branded as traitors and if you fail you'll die. The choice is yours."

"Are you really putting a Jinchuriki, a medic who looks up to you and the last Uchiha in danger just to get me to have dinner with you?!" 

Her gaze turned serious. "Yes. I know I am selfish to keep my dear cousin alive and close to me, but I will do it. All you have to do is agree."

I stopped struggling and swatted their hands away. I glared at her with unrestrained fury.

"I hate you."

"No you don't. You hate the fact that you fell pray to blackmailing since your team is precious to you." She chuckled.

"Kakashi, you may go with them. You leave tomorrow. Dismissed. Akina, meet me at 8 in the BBQ restaurant."

I banged the door open and made my way out.

"Akina nee chan?" Riko's big blue eyes stared up at me in confusion. She was with her teammates Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi. Team Ebisu.

"Hello Riko. Its been a long time ne?" I forced a smile.

"Please calm down, nee chan." She said slowly and I felt my anger ebb away.

"I.. really hate and like your mind control kekkei genkai." I said.

She smiled. "Its for the best, but it isn't mind control exactly-"

"Give the old bat hell from me, won't you?" I said.

They silently walked in as my team walked out.

I groaned. "Please, no questions."

"Maybe you should give the obaa chan a chance. She isn't that bad and I know I'd like to meet my relative if I knew I wasn't alone." Naruto said sadly.

I felt sympathy wash over me. They all would do anything to see their family members again and here I was, pushing Tsunade away from fear.

I leaned against the wall and slid down.

"I-I just don't want to get hurt. I've lost three important people within 8 months. I don't want to get close to her and lose another."

"So why did you become close to us?" Questioned Sakura.

Because you guys were the main characters originally.. But now I'm quite fond of you.

I shrugged. "I couldn't exactly live alone without any friends or family."

They all turned to look at Sasuke and he scoffed.

"He's an exception cause he is an ass." He glared at me.

"If you glare at me so much, its going to loose its effectiveness."

"Just shut up already!" Sasuke snarled.

Kakashi eyed him. "Maa, we have to do planning. Sasuke, maybe you should go home and rest."

"Hn. I'm fine." 

I mentally groaned thinking of how I had two missions back to back. I'll be dead tired.

"What time do we meet up tomorrow sensei?" I asked. 

"I guess at 6."

Only 4 hours to complete the mission huh? Along with that I have to meet up with Tsunade.

"Can we discuss it tomorrow, sensei? I'm tired." I said.

"Why are you tired? You slept like a pig for so long." Sakura asked.

"I-I have nightmares." I said.

I didn't have many nightmares, especially since I was so tired I'd never dream.

Kakashi's eye softened. "Maybe you guys deserve a break. I'll talk to Tsunade sama about getting another Jonin as well. Just take rest today."

Sasuke and I sighed in relief. 

Naruto protested. "But I wanted to train!"

"Even the strongest of soldiers need a break. Have fun for today, because you won't be having time to sleep or play around for the next mission. Trust me."

He opened his mouth again but shut up when he saw my glare and sulked.

Sakura nodded. "I'm fine with a break. I had a late night since I was studying."

"Its decided then. We will meet up at 6 tomorrow. Make sure all your kunais are sharp enough. Carry extra paper bombs, shuriken, ninja wire, scrolls and medical kits. Basically, over pack but not too much."

"Over pack but not too much?" Sakura asked amused.

He sighed. "Its hard to explain. I guess you'll find out after this mission. See you my kawai Chunin." He shunshined.

That's new...

"Sasuke we need to talk." I turned my gaze to him and we made eye contact.

"Yeah we do."

"Damn I can sense the sexual tension from here!"

"Baka Naruto urusai!" 

"I-Itai Sakura chan!"

"I have my first mission today with Danzo." I blurted it out as soon as we entered my room and locked the door.

"Hm? What's it about."

"The note didn't say anything. It just told me to come at 2 am."

He sighed in relief. "Nice fooling Kakashi with the nightmares." 

He sat on my bed and I sat next to him.

"I mean its common and it isn't unexpected."

We were in silence for a little while.

"Sasuke I-I'm sorry.." 

His eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Why are you apologizing to me?"

"I hate the fact that we're fighting and one of us has to make a move. It might as well be me."

"You are apologizing for no reason. Don't do that when its my fault. I was going to say sorry actually."

I whirled to face him. "You actually were?"

He blushed pink and snapped at me. "Its only going to happen once so don't expect it again. Anyways, I should've told you about Ami blackmailing me. And.. I'm not ashamed of you. I just didn't want attention on us."

"We kinda failed on that with the hand holding and kisses." I said.

"So are we good?"

"Hn." I smirked as I used his line. He rolled his eyes and slept on the bed.

"Hey! I sleep there. Get out of my bed and use your own."

He smirked and pulled me on top of him.

"You don't want to sleep together?"

"B-but we did it only once and you don't like cuddling."

He remained silent. "I am getting used to it. And I may have lied."

I smacked his arm lightly. "You bastard... Making me cry all this time." 

I rolled off him and grabbed the spare pillow. "I'm sleeping too."

He pulled me tight against his body and spooned me as he put his arm around my torso.

 I blushed brightly and snuggled into him feeling comfortable. 

Sasuke and I woke up around 7 where we ate at my home and packed our bags. He, Naruto and Sakura were going to sensei's house to discuss the team plan.

The dinner with Tsunade was an awkward affair. She asked me questions and I answered in one sentence or less.

Basically, I went Uchiha style which wasn't that hard to do, mind you. In fact it was entertaining to see her blanch at my 'Hn'.

I could finally see why Sasuke did it all the time.

But the most infuriating thing about her was that she didn't give up or lose her temper. In fact she kept going and even made me smile twice.

TWICE.

My will power was losing and I had to excuse myself around 9:30 pm saying I needed to sleep and prepare for the mission. 

Let's just say that the woman remotely didn't even care. She believed the fact that we'd be back successful and that to be honest made me feel proud for those small infuriating 10 seconds.

"Are you ready for two back to back missions?" Sasuke asked as I packed my pouch for the first mission.

All my clothes, cosmetics and other important materials had already been packed into my first pouch for the team mission.

It was 1:50 am and Sasuke had woken up to me making noise while getting up.

"Hopefully I will be. Or else I can take a chakra pill. I'll be fine." 

He smiled at me and then did something I never thought he would.

He poked my forehead, just like Itachi. 

"Ita!" I grabbed my forehead as a small bruise formed there.

Sasuke chuckled as he crawled back into my bed. "Don't be late." 

I leaned towards him for a quick peck and smiled into the kiss.

"I won't be. Make an excuse if I am. See you!" I shunshined out of my house in my black colored outfit and an orange bird mask. I put on my black hood and made my way to the secluded training area where I met Danzo everyday.

He was waiting for me and I bowed down.

"Your orders Danzo sama?"

He hummed in approval. "You're much respectful than Fukushu and you are on time for the mission. Come with me, Kira."

Kira was my code name which I had decided. Sasuke had decided on Fukushu which meant revenge.

His was highly unoriginal if you asked me but he liked it.

I liked mine because it reminded me of Deathnote and how I agreed with Light's philosophy. His killing methods at least, not the fact of him becoming Kami.

"Kira, you've shown improvement and dedication to me. I understand I have your trust?"

"Hai Danzo sama."

He sighed. "Fukushu doesn't trust me and so I have to train him more. You, on the other hand are ruthless and follow every order no matter how despicable, all for the benefit of Konoha." There was an odd glint in his eyes and I had a foreboding feeling.

 I remained silent.

"I.. need to test your loyalty before you become a part of ROOT. You will carry out this mission within an hour and return to me with the body. Understand? This is done to make you emotionless and detached rather than have weaknesses such as your team hinder you."

I nodded stiffly. Body?

"You will kill this person. They are not of Konoha, so don't worry. I trust you to come back here with evidence." He handed me a picture.

I froze looking at the picture of a young man in his twenties. 

"This is Ken Yamamoto. He disobeyed my direct orders and protected a man who was to be killed. He is now fleeing Konoha, having started around 10 pm."

"May I ask a question?"

"You may."

"Why didn't you send another shinobi behind him? It would've been over by now."

"Because with your tree transport, you are my fastest and will not fail me. I let him run."

And that's when it struck me that this.. this murder and killing was all a game to him.. He let him escape.

I felt sick. It was like the lion was playing around with the mouse, slowly destroying his hope and dreams by killing it.

No doubt this Ken will be fleeing for his life now.

"Hai, Danzo sama. I will not fail you."

Having memorized the picture I raced towards a tree and closed my eyes. Within seconds I found three strong chakra signatures outside Konoha.

I ran outside the gate, not minding the sleeping guards.

The chase begins.

3rd Person POV

"Deidara sempai why can't we sleep?" Tobi whined.

"Shut up Tobi un. We have to infiltrate it. Kisame said it'd be easy."

"Tobi wants to sleep."

Deidara got an irk mark. He was stuck with Tobi for a month now. After they began their departure for Konoha, Pain kept on sending them multiple assignments to complete on their way which took a four-five day trip a month.

Deidara narrowed his eyes as he saw someone from Konoha run out, coming towards them.

Fuck.

Deidara pulled up his cloak to cover his mask and put on his hat as Tobi did the same.

"You both hiding behind the trees, reveal yourselves." A feminine voice spoke.

Deidara half expected Tobi to leap out but he was surprisingly quiet, staying hidden.

"Looks like I have no choice." The feminine voice spoke from behind them and Deidara turned around slowly, masking his shock.

Tobi jumped. "AH! Tobi was scared. You did a good job scaring sempai and Tobi!" He praised the Konoha kunoichi.

T-That absolutely clueless bastard...

Deidara wished he had his partner Sasori danna with him. His taste in art was artless, but he'd be a much better partner. 

The blonde terrorist would never admit it, but he respected his danna's art even though he didn't appreciate true art.

After all, art is an explosion.

The kunoichi froze in obvious shock and the onyx black eyes behind her eyes widened a great deal.

Akina couldn't believe her eyes.

Obito and Deidara were here? But why?!

They only make an appearance in Shippuden.

She was expecting a couple of bandits, not the fucking Akatsuki.

"Who are you?" Akina growled as her senses told her to get out. They were screaming danger.

"I am Tobi and I am a good boy! We are looking for Akina chan. Do you know where she lives?" Tobi asked so innocently.

Akina spluttered. 

This just became a thousand times worse. They were looking for her.

Noticing the kunoichi was unaware, Deidara slowly put his hands into his pockets as his mouth started chewing the detonating clay.

"I know where she lives. What business do you have with her?"

"We want to wish her a happy belated birthday!"

What the hell is Tobi doing un?

"Oh.. Why don't you show me your faces and I'll escort you to her myself hm." She threw a kunai at Tobi and to Deidara's shock it went through him.

What the fuck!

"Tobi was so scared the bad kunoichi attacked him but his kekkei genkai helped!"

The kunoichi didn't seem very shocked, almost as if she'd expected it.

Deidara threw his detonating spiders at the female and she went inside the tree. 

What is she? A Zetsu?

The spiders made their way back to Deidara's pouch as spare, having missed their target.

She poked her head out and Tobi screamed.

"DEIDARA SEMPAI SHE'S NOT HUMAN! SHE'S LIKE ZETSU AND SHE'LL EAT ME! HER BIRD MASK WILL EAT ME!"

The kunoichi waved at them and disappeared once more. 

"I won't tell anyone about meeting you since I am not from Konoha myself. I am an enemy."

This fool just revealed the names of two members including myself. Damn you Tobi. Leader sama will be pissed at me.

At least she won't say shit.

"Shut up Tobi! We have to hide un."

Tobi shivered. "Orange bird masks are terrifying."

Who the fuck is wearing an orange swirly mask here?!

Akina transported herself a mile in front of the running chakra signature as the distance between them decreased.

She wiped off the sweat. Endurance training under Danzo had greatly helped her.

Looks like I caught their attention.

Akina leaned against the tree.

Did Kisame say anything or did Itachi? I have no idea..

The chakra stopped and Akina turned to see the man in the picture. He fell on his knees and smirked at her.

"I think you know why I'm here, Yamamoto san." Akina murmured.

He chuckled. "Yeah I do."

Akina walked towards him, anxiety building up in her chest. She never liked killing. In her entire life, she only killed a few men of Gato's and her opponent in her Chunin exams.

She knew they were evil, but why did she have that feeling of helplessness in the pit of her stomach?

She drew out her kunai.

Ken smiled at her. "May I tell you something?"

"Yes."

"Tell Danzo to fuck off."

"Will do."

Ken stared at her, not expecting such a reaction. "Y-you aren't root?"

"I am. This is my test."

"Ahh. The test."

"What did you do?"

He smirked proudly. "I defied him."

"Uh huh. And?"

He faltered. "Well I was supposed to kill some kids."

"Kids?"

"I had to kill um who was it.. A Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke whenever I could. I had to take their sharingans. Had to make it seem like an accident."

Ken noticed as the kunoichi's chakra wavered, emotions taking control.

"I know those kids." Her voice had taken a different turn.

"What about Akina Senju Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki?"

Ken furrowed his eyebrows. "They were to live I guess since Danzo didn't mention them. I don't know." 

That old bastard.. He'd get rid of my 'distractions' and train me to be his soldier. He'll take Kakashi and Sasuke's sharingan. As for Naruto, he has Kurama. He's safe but to him Sakura is just a pest in his way.

The kunoichi put her kunai away and gave him her hand instead. Ken stared at her shocked.

"What..?"

"They are precious to me. Thank you for telling me the details. In exchange, I'll spare your life."

"I don't have a life to live." Ken trailed off.

Akina knelt down. "I can give you one."

His eyes glimmered. "How?"

"Just take my hand." Akina encased her chakra around the man and transported herself and him in a matter of twenty minutes near Amegakure.

"What the.." He trailed off.

Akina smiled under her mask. "Its a gift, Yamamoto san. Here you can live peacefully. Just enter and tell the truth about what happened."

"And what about you? He wants proof doesn't he?"

"I'll manage." Akina said as a plan started forming in her mind. 

Ken hugged her and Akina laughed. "I'll be fine big guy. For a twenty year old, you are really sentimental and sweet."

"But I'm 17."

"... Sorry."

"Its fine! Anyways, they will attack that team tomorrow since they will be leaving for a mission, apparently. Good luck!" He handed her his bag.

"Ja ne!" Akina waved at him as he walked towards the gates and his back faded into the distance.

Akina removed her mask and took a breath of fresh air as she dabbed her sweaty face with a handkerchief, not noticing the paper bird observing her from a distance. 

The paper bird flew away.

She put on the mask. "Its time for hunting."

"You did well, Kira. I'm proud of you."

"Your wish is my command Danzo sama. But I apologize for getting carried away."

Danzo smirked as he saw her in a new light, not completely trusting her, but knowing she was hooked. She'd make a worthy tool, one with emotions, one completely devoted to him, one with every step of his way to becoming Hokage.

And the best part?

She was Tsunade's imouto!

He looked down at the mutilated body in front of him. He was not one for bloody, gruesome deaths but she'd explained what had happened. 

Her blood lust had taken over.

She was a little 13 year old killing machine. Looking at the blood splattered on her uniform and her steady gaze he knew she'd done it.

He bent down and took the bag strapped to his body. It was filled with scrolls.

His scrolls about the sharingan.

"Dispose the body, Kira and leave. You are dismissed."

"Hai, Danzo sama. I will be awaiting your orders next."

Danzo smiled. Soon her team would be out of her way and the remaining sharingans would be his.

What he didn't know is that Akina would make life a living hell for his soldiers.

Akina disposed the body by burning it and burying the ashes.

She'd killed a rapist in a nearby town who was harassing the girls. He looked similar to Ken Yamamoto, brown hair and brown eyes being very common among civilians. 

She could say without a doubt that she was glad she saved one life and saved many girls. 

But she couldn't produce an ounce of guilt by killing all the bad men. Gato's men, this rapist and her Chunin exam enemy were all the same.

They were monsters and Akina supposed so was she when her regret vanished away.

And that's what made her curl up in a ball and cry, scared for herself. 

She killed without mercy, without feeling remorse, having an odd sense of tranquility and peace pass over her and she partially admitted the truth. She did lose her control and it backfired. She was angry, angry at what she didn't know.

Angry at the world maybe or herself.

But she exploded and mutilated him and no one has such a right.

She had a sick sense of satisfaction, her inner self almost crying with delight at blood spilled. Her inner demons.. her anger.. her sadistic attitude.. all of it was developing.

Her Yume.

She was a monster who didn't regret.

Hola!

This chappie is meant to show her slow descent into darkness which shows how deep her thoughts have become from the first chapter in comparison.

In trying to protect her friends, she's losing herself mentally.

She had no support from anyone. Her team wouldn't understand, she can't go for therapy and she's scared to get close to Tsunade in fear of getting hurt further.

She's truly in a situation isn't she?

Anyways how was this chapter? 

Some cute DeiTobi moments.

They are so cute istg i ship them so much! I also ship SasoDei.

Obito and Kakashi are the ultimate trollers. They both influence each other so much unknowingly.

Anyways I thought of doing a QnA for the characters.

Your opinion?

How was the chapter? 

i feel like an update monster. but this is only because i have holidays going on.

my school starts on wednesday and ill be updating less like probably once a week.
