So, the first story has started. Enjoy!

Prolog

Pestilence

Fuck, I had been spotted. I was so dead if they found out who I was. Thankfully my white cape had a hood that covered my very recognizable pink hair. It had changed a lot over time, as it now came down to about halfway down my back and had white streaks in a few places. And no, I was not old. I had dyed them on my own...well I was more forced into it in a way. But I didn't mind. It was required since I refused to die my hair completely white. I had my bow in my hands and my quiver on the side of my white Irish Hobby so they were easily accessible. We had been practicing shooting arrows while riding and running when I heard Sasuke and Naruto calling for me. Luckily I was able to pull up my hood before they saw me. The hood and the horse hid my identity enough but the bow and arrows hid it even more. there were only ten known horses within the ninja counties. But I must regress...the appearance made them begin to question who I was. My chakra signature had become unrecognizable to Naruto over time since I had my...change. Sasuke had almost memorized it so I could tell he had his suspicions. Naruto began screaming and asking who I was, when I didn't answer both of my teammates pulled out kunai. When they took their battle stances I took off towards the gate. Tsunade gave me special permision to train outside the village so as not to be discovered. Even with Sasuke going full speed he was still lagging behind me. I kept my eyes forward as I raced to the gate. With the exception of a few gatekeepers and the Hokage, no one knew who I was. I could see the gate but as I got closer I pulled to a stop, my horse moving her hooves to regain balance. In the middle of the gate stood the hokage and two ANBU who I knew all to well. Tsunade had her arms crossed looking behind me. Sasuke and Naruto had caught up.

"I see you ran into some trouble, Pestilence." she said bowing slightly in respect. I heard Naruto gasp.

"You mean he's a-"

Tsunade cut him off. "I believe we should take this to the tower." I got off my horse and whispered in her ear.

"Eínai doreán gia tóra." I removed my quiver and rubbed her ear. Then she took off. I turned around and we started heading to the tower.

())~~%~~

It didn't take long to get to the tower, even with everyone bowing at my feet. When we got to the tower we went to the Hokage's office and when we were all inside along with Kakashi who had joined the little parade, one of the ANBU placed a jutsu on the room so no one could hear us.

"Why did you call us here, Tsunade." I asked. I smirked as I heard Naruto trying to make a sentence.

"You mean he is actually a she?" he asked bewildered. Even Sasuke was taken aback. Did the boobs not give it away?

"You'll be even more shocked here in a moment. That is if she is willing." she said. "can you remove your hood, Pestilence?" she asked

"You have the memory replacement jutsu ready if something goes wrong?" I asked

"Yes." I gave a nod, I faced my audience and slowly pulled down my hood. When I looked up my comrades were in shock, although Sasuke was trying to hide it. I smirked.

"S-sakura?" Naruto asked shocked. I gave a slight nod in his direction. "Little Sakura is part of the Four Horsemen?" he asked

"Prove it." Sasuke said. So he would be the lucky bastard to find out. I looked him straight in the eyes. Then he leaned over and started coughing up blood. I walked over and put my hand over his left lung to heal the imploded organ. When he came back I wanted to hurt him so bad for what he did, but for some reason I still love him. When he was healed he looked up in shock. I smirked again. I backed away.

"Does that prove anything?" I asked almost laughing.

"But...how?" He asked

"Do you remember when I went 'missing' about two months ago?" I asked

"Yeah we wanted to go after you but we were ordered not to." Kakashi said.

"You are all acting like naïve little children...did you not sense the differences when I came back without a scratch?"

"Wait, what are you saying?" Naruto asked

"I'm saying at that time I was on an S-class mission and after I finished I was recruited. For two weeks I was taken and trained to fill the role I have now. As the riders we are, we hold ancient souls as well as an ancient Kekkei Genkai. As soon as we join we are infused the ancient souls that the previous rider held. We gain unique abilities as well as the greatest responsibility known to man kind."

"What is that." Naruto asked looking confused as ever.

"Naive child...have you not heard the stories? We keep the balance between good and evil, so an ancient seal stays safe. If the scale leans to far to one side the seal shatters and brings an apocalypse on the world. It is our duty to aid the side that is losing." I said glaring slightly.

"Wait a second does that mean-" I cut Naruto off again

"Yes, no matter how much I fucking hate the Akatsuki, if there was a time they needed help, it would be my duty to join their cause."

"But that would mean you would have to go after Naruto." Sasuke said

"In our eyes it is our job to place the number of lives at stake to how many would live after the event. If Naruto's life meant less than half of the population, then I would be prepared to take that objective. It's our job to keep the balance no matter what." I said

"How can you say that! You were the one who took cared of him whenever something happened!" Sasuke yelled.

"It comes with the job Sasuke, and an offer like that doesn't happen every day, did you expect me to say no?" I yelled back. I heard the voices in the back of my head begin to chide me. "I should have yelled...how childish of me." I whispered.

"Why do act like your so much older than you are?" he asked sounding a little...upset?

"Having ancient souls scolding you in the back of your head changes a person."

"What?"

"Each rider is given a soul from each era, not including the ones you have lived."

"Wait, multiple eras? You would have to be-" Poor Naruto, I keep cutting him off.

"Yes, we are immortal in a way, we can be killed like any other ninja. But we live like how we were when we started forever."

"So if I stabbed you in the heart, you would die?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes, although it would have to get to our heart first, Which is highly unlikely. Along with immortality, our other ninja skills become more advanced as well." I said

Sasuke leaped forward with a kunai but before he could even come close I pinched a nerve in his arm which made him drop it. He clutched his arm at the weird sensation.

"You do that again, I will kill you." I said a dark aura beginning to surround me. When Tsunade put her hand on my shoulder I began to wobble. I clutched my head and fell to my knees.

"Damn it..."

"Along with great power and knowledge, the ancient souls also come with a curse. They lead to internal battles that can cause the mind to temporally malfunction with emotions coming to the surface that normally stay hidden." Tsunade said softly kneeling down to give me a hug. Then the room became ten degrees colder. I looked up to see someone who scared the crap out of me. She had a black cape with the hood hiding her face with a folded scythe at her side.

"I'll take her to her home and treat her, Lord Hokage." Tsunade backed away and the mystery person picked me up in her arms.

Then we left. Me in the arms of someone who could scare the crap out of every person on this world simultaneously. Death.
