Tension was high in the Claw Country. The Claw Country was concerned about its neighbor the Lightning Country, for they had within their possession two Jinchuuriki. One was a girl possessed by Nibi. The other was man who had within him Hachibi. The Claw Country was also in conflict with their other neighbor the Fang Country. So a plan was made, to capture a demon of their own and create a Jinchuuriki. They were completely unaware of the true results this would bring however, just like all the others who sought power. Men were sent out to find a creature. The journey took them to the mountains were huge thunderstorms formed. It is there they discovered Raijuu, the six-tailed demon weasel. Raijuu was calm however when they met him. He was actually a bit curious of these new creatures. For you see Raijuu by nature is one of the few calm demons, however if he becomes in raged or if there is storm he will destroy anything in his path. The men spoke with Raijuu. They told them about their countries conflict, but they didn't speak about their plan to capture him. Raijuu listened to their story. While Raijuu listened to the story three of the men set up a trap. They were getting ready to use a jutsu. Then the jutsu was activated. Raijuu roared in shock. Raijuu was to be transferred into one of the men. Raijuu's essence was sucked into the man. With the jutsu done the men thought they had accomplished their mission. They were far from it though.
Shortly after that the man that had absorbed Raijuu fell ill. The others rushed the man back to the Claw Country. What was to be discovered brought horror to the people of the country. The jutsu they used requires a sacrifice, just like all the other jutsus used to create Jinchuuriki. Since one was not presented the man himself was assumed to be the sacrifice. The man could not be saved, but the demon and its power could be. They just required a new host. No one stepped forward though. The man who absorbed the demon was the only one willing. So the leaders and the heads of powerful families got together. They argued who should be given the burden of this power. They all agreed a child should take it so they would have the power longer. Some families wanted the power so they would be stronger. In the end it was decided that a girl from the Tsurugi clan would be given the power. Of course this was all decided in a day, before the man died and the newly obtained power was lost. The transfer was made. Now the year old Arashi Tsurugi was possessed by the great lightning demon, Raijuu.
Even though the country went through all of this to save the demon power they had captured, the people hated Arashi. The man who died was the country's hero. The leaders believed that in time she would prove useful, they did not protect her from the angry villagers though. Despite all of this Arashi's parents still loved her. It wasn't her fault all this had happened. However the Tsurugi main house had disowned them. They did not want to get into disputes with other families over the child. Arashi grew up happy though. She didn't care what others thought of her. She just assumed that's how humans were. Instead she would go into the forest and watch animals. The animals never shunned her or fled in fear from her.
Arashi's father was a ninja for the Cloud Village in the Lightning Country. However they still lived in the Claw Country. Her mother worked in the government library. So Arashi had access to all sorts of information. Her father taught her some ninja techniques, everything from taijutsu to genjutsu even summoning. He hoped she would never need to use them, but inside he knew that the day would come eventually. Her mother would teach her all sorts of things about different countries and other facts from the books in the library, as well as the sword. It was as if Arashi was in a ninja academy in the Cloud Village. Arashi didn't really have any human friends. She saw other kids but they never got near her because of their parents. Instead she became friends with her father's summons. The Tsurugi family is known for summoning dragons. Her father had two dragons of his own. One was Sukai, a little green dragon that put his duty above all else. The other was a huge dragon named Raiu, who was very wise and kind (Scales are silver and mane is yellow with black steaks). Raiu was also the very first dragon to form a pack with the Tsurugi family. Eventually when Arashi was eight she got her own dragon. She named him Kumo. Kumo was all about having fun, but he would complete his tasks to the best of his abilities, although he tended to mess up, but he was sorry.
This is the story of how Arashi became a Jinchuuriki, but now is the time for the real story. The story of how Arashi became a ninja in Konoha. Arashi's story is one born from heartache, but ends in another way. This story reminds us of why we should leave the past behind us and that every storm passes with a gentle wind. The lives of the Jinchuuriki are harsh, but so much good can from them.
