Chapter 1: Breaking Free
'You said if you could fly
You would leave all this far behind you
And soar off to the sky
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
The sadness and pain that you've learnt me to feel
Are holding me tight
My prayers echo through night
If only I could tell these feelings to you with my words
But they choke me down so much it hurts
As you awake
From your dreamy state in to this world
So cruel and cold
You want to spread your wings and take off for a flight
You said if you could fly
You would leave all this far behind you
And soar off to the sky
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
If there's a place for us, you'd be sure to take me with you
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
With that sound that went through me as you opened your eyes
The rusted old window broke
And we could see through the smoke
You're being sick of the cage that surrounds us around
And prisons us tightly into the ground
What you see
In this reality
It makes you feel
So lonely
You wanna spread your wings and take off for a flight
You said if you could fly
You would leave all this far behind you
And soar off to the sky
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
You said if you could run
You would find everything you needed
You're breaking chasing it
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
You're finally falling down
From your haven up above
But still you fight
To reach the light
And fall again for a new flight
You said if you could fly
You would leave all this far behind you
And soar off to the sky
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
If there's a place for us
You'd be sure to take me with you
We'd never come back down
So sky, so blue, that sky so blue
So blue, so blue, that sky so blue
Only you, only you, only with you'
'Shut up!' a brute voice screamed interrupting the soft melody.
My blue eyes looked up into the darkness of my cage, the chains on my wrist rattled as I shifted my position attempting to get more comfortable, my long black hair cascaded over my face as a sigh passed my swollen lips. My tongue slowly slicked over them making me wince slightly as the taste of blood came from the rough surface.
A loud bang startled me from my thoughts as a young boy stepped away from the front of my cage.
'Oi your foods here.' he said as he placed a bowl and cup through the slot.
The smell of the raw meat filled my nostrils, my lips quivering in hunger as I licked my lips again forgetting about the dull sting.
Crawling forward I got closer, as I went to grab the food. Realizing that my arms couldn't extend any farther I agonizingly moved my face closer to find that my head was just out of reach.
'Don't talk to it you idiot!' a man yelled at the boy pushing him away from the cage.
'why It's just a little girl?' the boy protested his darkeyes looked from me to the tall man in front of him, though their voices were like a dull hum as I struggled forward my tongue swiping out to try and reach the meat.
'That aint no girl that's the spawn of Izanami herself.' The man grunted.
The boy looked at me in disgust as I used my mouth to pull the meat towards me and dug in tearing it apart with my teeth, which were now sharpened from my need to survive, my canines ripping into the meet and tearing it apart.
The men left me to devour my meal in disgust, quickly i turned my head slightly and expertly used my tongue to lap the water from the bowl.
I wish kaa-san were here
the sudden thought startled me causing a single tear to fall, spreading the dirt and blood caked on my face.
It seemed almost forever, that i sat in the darkness. But little did i Know that my life would change forever.
'so this is the prisoner you were talking about.' A deep voice entered the room making my eyes widen as I looked up to see a man walk in.
My eyes almost hurt at that bright orange mask..
He had long black hair, his mask had an almost flame like design, chakra rolled off of him in floods sending cold chill's down my spine.
A large black cloak adorned is figure increasing his intimidating look.
As I stared at him my eyes widen as the flash of red caught my attention.
'Yeah I still don't know why you's want to see it.' The man grumbled as his cold eyes stared at me.
As I looked down at my feet a shamed of my appearance I certainly wasn't expecting the next series of events to happen.
Something warm and wet splatted onto me. In confusion I frowned looking up.
The man fell down making my confusion increase.
What just happened?
With a kunai the man sliced the bars of the cage and walked in before cutting through the metal of my restrains like butter. I could feel the intensity of the chakra that had once coated the weapon.
He stepped back out of the cage leaving me standing there in shock.
'Come'
That was his one simple command.
And I don't know whether it was because of his dark aura or that I had nowhere else to go but I felt like I needed to follow him.
Little did I know that this was the beginning of something that would change the world.
As we walked out of the secret underground base that had been my prison for over 5 years we continued into the forest in comfortable silence.
The bodies of the shinobi that had worked their now rotted away never to be found by their loved ones.
After an hour of walking I started to build up the courage and finally I broke the silence.
'Um excuse me but my I ask your name I'm Uzumaki Hekikū" I smiled brightly trying to ease any aggression that he might have.
Kaa-chan always said manners first! we must always be polite!
His masked head turned slightly into my direction before looking straight ahead.
'My name is Madara.' He stated making me frown as his chakra spiked the tiniest bit.
'No its not.' I state making him stop in his tracks.
Angry chakra started to roll off of him making me hesitated in my step.
Maybe I should have just stayed quite.
'You doubted me?' he growled lowly making me gulp.
'Its just that I felt your chakra.' I mumbled softly hoping to somehow wriggle my way out of this.
His chakra relaxed back to its same dark aura making me sigh in relief.
'I guess I should have known this would happen.' He stated out loud making me look at him quizzically.
'The name you are to address me as would be Tobi.' He stated making your smile.
'Ok Tobi-sama.'
Rember be polite!
We continued traveling for a week before Tobi-sama approached me.
'We are to begin you Shinobi training now.' He stated darkly making me stare at him.
'Um-ok but how do we start?'
Not even a second after I finished my question did Tobi-sama throw a kunai at me starting his attack.
My eyes widened as I tried to dodge his attack only to be hit from the other side.
4 hours passed and I laid on the forest floor bloodied and bruised trying desperately to get air into my lungs.
Tobi-sama approached me sitting down at my side.
'Now comes the second part of your training, medical ninjutsu.'
He told me the basics making me heal my own wounds.
After an hour of this I was well enough to stand up making Tobi-sama nod in approval.
'From now on and until I deem you ready for the next step you will be doing a 3 day routine. First you are to warm up with running 5km followed by 400 push ups and 400 sit ups. Then we will commence with a short lesson of learning jutsu before beginning a spar, after you are to train your medical ninjutsu in healing your own wounds, the better you get the better you are healed. The next day will be a rest day filled with traveling and restoring your chakra, and lastly the 3rd day will be a reading lesson were you will work on you strategy, political knowledge, history and the shinobi arts as well as stretching to increase your flexibility.' Tobi-sama told me making me nod slowly.
'Then tomorrow is a rest day.'
'Correct, you have 3 days to remember your schedule because I will be expecting you to do this on your own.' He stated making me grin.
Finally I'll be of some use to my new master!
