The figure of a woman stood just on the other side of the flames that burned through Konohagakure, destroying everything in their path. These were the flames she had started only moments ago by setting fire to the rain of the storm that raged above. She remained motionless, staring as if her thoughts were far away.
This was the moment she had been promised for joining them. This was her revenge against this terrible place and power-lusting people. Watching all her hatred burn, she realized it wasn't enough. It would never be enough. Even if they all burned and this village was wiped off the map forever, it would never bring him back. And what would he think of her now? A soft sound, an apology perhaps, passed over her lips. This had been her purpose, even from the very beginning. So, why was she still empty and hurting?
The Hokikage appeared on the other side of the flames, looking upon her. He recoiled as he recognized the face looking back at him. The woman watched him force his features into that stern expression he used to scold children with. But she was no longer a child. She had created this hell intentionally. Still, he would not have the chance to take her in for questioning.
The woman stepped forward, closing her eyes as the flames began to lick at her skin and clothing. This is where it would end because there was no where she could go from here. Now her mind drifted back to the beginning and how she ended up here.
She had always assumed everything spiraled down after his death at her own misguided hands. But perhaps it was before that. Their very meeting could have been the beginning of the end. Or maybe it was the demands of being the only child born within her branch of the Hyuuga clan. Or maybe her path had been set at the very moment of her birth when her mother gave her a name with her dying breath.
Pandora.
