PROLOGUE
Chains seemed to erupt from the ground, dragging with them what could barely be discerned as a female figure. Blood trailed down her every limb, drenching the rag-like material that posed as a dress. Yet, even that wasn't her most shocking feature… Her head moved up slowly, jet-black hair parting to reveal the most emotionless striking blue eyes Naruto had ever seen. They were so dark that for a moment he couldn't find her pupil and might have marveled at them if only they hadn't seemed so… dead.
"Stand," was Orochimaru's order.
She stumbled slightly, her legs wobbling before falling back to the ground. It was then that he noticed all the blood coating her wasn't from previous kills, it was her own.
"I said stand!" the snake-like Sannin shouted.
His words were accompanied by a large electric shock passing through the chains, burning into her skin. Naruto winced at the pain she must have felt in that moment but she showed no reaction. Only her movements became swift, precise, and she stood. The Jinchuriki took a moment to wonder what could have possibly possessed Orochimaru to consider someone in this state as his ace in the hole, talented or not.
"Goooood," the Orochimaru hissed, "now, dispose of this trash that calls itself a ninja."
His smug smile wavered as she remained motionless. "That was an order," he pushed patiently. She seemed to take in her surroundings as her right hand drifted slowly from her side to stop out in front of her, her palm facing the new team 7, her mouth moving slowly.
Naruto frowned, he swore he saw her mouth the words "I'm sorry" before suddenly everything went black.
