Recap:
Summary: Sonea Storm Shadow is the living legacy of the Rikudo Sennin and became the Jinchuuriki for the Jyuubi's yin half. Because of her seal and her bloodline, she has become immortal and been living in Konoha since before it was created.
All of her beloved Bijuu have turned against her after she left them to find their own paths. They were tortured and experimented on by the Uchiha ancestors and directed their hatred upon the entire human race and Sonea.
Sonea only left to better the world by controlling the Jyuubi and succeeded at a cost. The seal became unbalanced and could possibly break.
After spending decades with the mysterious dragons, she left to find a seal master and came across Uzumaki Taka, a seal's prodigy. She remained with the Senju's and Uzumaki's until Taka returned with the answer from books that Sonea gave to him on her Demon clan; the Chi clan.
She and seven other people formed a circle and keep the seal balanced as well as gaining a few demon properties themselves, shape shifting into a wolf.
However Taka had other plans for Sonea's power and began placing seals upon her memories making her forget slowly of her past if she doesn't keep reminding herself about it.
Now facing the start of the Third Great Ninja War, we follow her path to the child of destiny and his friends.
Chapter One
The countries were still stable, for now as I flew over the rocky ravine of Iwa. My mission was simple; Information gathering. My red demon eyes blazed as I concentrated on what was kilometres below me.
Iwa was moving fast after the chunin exams have just passed. Gathering their supplies and slowly moving through Kusa to Hi no Kuni (The Fire country), I looked at all of the supplies they had already and followed the road where they came from.
A small factory in Kusa was where they were coming from. Taking pictures with a special high definition camera, I started my journey back to Konoha to report my findings and find a certain chunin and his blonde haired sensei.
I smiled as I landed outside of the gates of Konoha. I waved at the guards on duty and swiftly made my way to the T&I department. I cut my thumb on my canine tooth and summoned a messenger dragon for the Hokage to meet me there.
"Hey Bolt, please prepare a room for the Hokage right now, I have important information." I said as I passed him by the doors. He nodded and took off ahead of me.
I sat in the cold and dark room and waited as I tapped a finger against the delicate camera and thought about the impending war. Just as the countries had repaired their forces after the last war, they decide to start all over again
"Nice of you to join me Hokage-sama." I said with a sigh and opened my eyes to look at him.
"Sorry, the council side tracked me. Your dragon said that you had important information." Hiruzen said as he sat down across the table from me. I nodded and turned on the camera to the photos I took and zoomed in.
"This is Kusa, it is where Iwa is gaining most of its weaponry and such. I think that if we can stop that supply, we could possibly stop them for a period of time like last time." I said pointing to the screen on the camera. Hiruzen looked thoughtful.
"I will send one of my most trusted teams out to destroy the factory. I need everything you saw like guards and weaknesses etcetera." He said as he linked his fingers together and placed his elbows on the table.
"I cannot say about inside the factory but each convoy has at least ten ninja with it all the way to Iwa and back. The building is weak and the roof is old and rusted so as not to draw attention. They have a patrol of ten ninja at all times of the day and swap out every twelve hours. Attacking before shift change or in the middle during midnight would be best. That is everything I can tell you after one week watching between the two." I reported. Hiruzen scowled as I knew exactly what he was thinking, this was going to be near impossible.
"I will send two teams then, one as a distraction to one side and the other to destroy the factory. Team Light and Team Taka will go. Do you have any objections?" He asked
"No sir." I said back. They were the perfect teams to send.
"You are dismissed for now." He said with a far away look. I nodded respectfully and left him to ponder. I nodded to Bolt as I left the building and headed for the training grounds.
At training ground seven, there was Minato in his jonin uniform without his top on, sparring against the new chunin, Kakashi who looked as cool as a cucumber. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt with his mask attached to it and a pair of navy blue pants with wrappings around the bottom as well as sleeves that went from his wrist to the middle of his upper arm and were held with elastics I smiled to Minato's shadow clone that was studying a scroll in a tree, he was still trying to make a new move after two years and he hit a stand still with it. The two stopped as soon as they saw me and I was nearly tackled by both of them.
Just as they nearly touched me, I flipped backwards and pushed gently against their chests with my feet to make them fall back and avoid their sweaty grasp. I landed gracefully and smirked at the two sitting flat on the ground and rubbing their lower backs and chests.
"Sonea, that wasn't very nice." Minato moaned as he got up and helped Kakashi up. I smirked a little more and shrugged.
"You know that I've become a slight germophobe after I had to bring back that sweaty guy one time. Remember, I had like ten showers in two days." I complained and they both laughed at the memory. I rolled my eyes and smiled as I walked over to them.
"How was your mission?" Kakashi asked with his hard and arrogant tone. I smiled at the masked kid. I really wished that it was just a phase but now it has just become part of the mysterious genius who graduated the Academy at five after one year, he was even top of his class and now a chunin at age six.
"Lets just say it was a week of having my head in the clouds." I smiled at my little joke. Minato seemed to laugh a little but Kakashi just raised an annoyed eyebrow at me.
I remembered about when Kakashi learned about my little transformations and I smiled, it was one day that Kakashi had lost his arrogance towards me a bit.
(Flashback)
Minato and Kushina dragged me away from a long string of missions for dinner at the Hatake residence. Jiraiya had suggested that Minato meet Kakashi who was battling to find a teacher who would take on a five year old genin.
Minato and Kushina ordered me to go with when I let it slip that I knew them already and I needed a break, much to my annoyance. I rolled my eyes as I waited for Sakumo to open his door.
"Ah, Jiraiya. And this must be Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, I have heard so much about you." Sakumo greeted them with a handshake and his eyes fell to me. I gave him an annoyed and bored look.
"They dragged me here." I said, annoyed. Sakumo just smiled and slung his arm over my shoulder as we were ushered to the dining room and seated.
I sat at the end of the table with Minato across from me and Kushina next to him and Jiraiya was seated next to me and Kakashi at the end of the table, across from his father and next to Minato.
"Hi, Kakashi, I'm Namikaze Minato and this is Uzumaki Kushina." Minato introduced himself to Kakashi with a handshake. Kakashi closed his eyes in a crescent shape, which meant he was smiling.
"It is good to meet you Minato-san and Kushina-san." Kakashi replied back and then fixed his steel gaze on me. I smiled and scratched my cheek nervously.
"What are you doing here Sonea?" He said bluntly. I rolled my eyes after we had an argument over some history facts, which he didn't agree with. Of coarse I was right because I was alive then, dammit!
"I have known Minato and Kushina since they were five and they are the ones who dragged me out of my missions." I complained and both Kakashi and I placed our steel gaze on them and Minato grinned sheepishly as did Kushina.
"How could you drag a dedicated ninja out of her work? Who do you think you are, the Hokage?" Kakashi asked harshly and winked at me. I hid a smile and played along.
"Well, I just decided that she needed to slow down again and stop with so many missions and this dinner was perfect since she knows you and your dad." Minato said as sweat began to form on his forehead.
I couldn't contain myself any longer as a five year-old genin interrogated an eighteen year-old jonin. Kakashi and I burst out into fits of laughter at Minato's expression. As the food came out of the kitchen, Kakashi and I calmed down and high fived each other.
Sakumo returned to the kitchen to fetch the pot of tea and we began to eat. As Sakumo emerged from the door, he tripped over the carpet and the pot of boiling hot tea went flying towards Kakashi and Minato. I was the first one to respond as I transformed into my demon state and shielded them with my wing. The tea splashed against the feathers and only just reached the skin.
Minato and Kakashi were speechless as I asked them if they were all right. Minato regained his composure but Kakashi didn't. He just sat and stared at my enormous black wing.
"Kakashi?" I asked carefully, realising what I had just done.
"Wha…" He tried to say as he pointed at my now retracted wings behind my back and my black hair and red eyes. His mouth was gaping behind his mask that he pulled up after finishing dinner in a blink of an eye.
"Don't freak out." I said slowly and carefully. Thankfully he didn't freak out but rather passed out and fell off his chair and I caught his head with my tail before he got a concussion.
Everyone was in fits of laughter at this, even Sakumo. I smiled at this too. Who would have expected him to pass out. I explained my bloodline to him when he woke up and he said that it was the coolest thing he had ever seen. It was a good evening.
(End Flashback)
"Let's go grab some lunch, and Minato." I said as they both had already begun to follow after me.
"Yes?" He replied a bit confused.
"Put on a shirt, you don't want to have Kushina putting you and some random girls into hospital, now do we?" I said with a slight blush when I looked at his tanned and well-toned body and looked away quickly.
I walked in between them with my arms draped over their shoulders, not letting Kakashi squirm out of my hold. I smiled all the way to Yakiniku Q.
I awoke suddenly a few mornings later. Blood was pouring from my eyes again as I tried to remember what I saw. I could not remember the vision I had and I could not shake the bad feeling I had.
Team Light and Team Taka had been on their mission for a few days now and it just gave me more of a bad feeling. I got into the shower after placing my sheets into the washing machine and throwing away my pillows, again.
I let the shower easy my tension and I got dressed into my ANBU uniform and shimmered to the Hokage's office where I came face to face with Minato.
"Morning." I smiled and moved out of Minato's personal space. To face the Hokage.
"How do you do that?" Minato asked with an excited expression. I could see the wheels turning in his head.
"Well, it's thanks to my demon powers as well as the yin release style. I imagine where I want to be and that person's presence and I'm pulled towards them like a space-time transportation. You should look into the Niidaime's techniques, they're very similar." I explained before turning back to the waiting Hokage.
"Sonea, thank you for interrupting. Here is your mission." Hiruzen said, throwing my scroll at my head, which I caught easily as I examined his annoyed face. I smiled and shimmered out again.
I was on my way in no time towards my target but the bad feeling wouldn't shake off as I ran through the forest in my wolf form. I kept shaking my head in annoyance at the feeling.
I had completed my mission in two days and slowly making my way back. The damn group of missing nins would not stay down and it felt like I killed them five times before they finally stayed down.
I stumbled and fell to my knees as I felt something ripping at my chest. My eyes went wide as I felt it was Light. He was being attacked and his consciousness was fading from my mind. It literally felt like I was him, the pain of the weapons stabbing into me and the feeling of the blood running down from my wounds and the smell, sight, sound like I was there. I clutched at my chest as I lay on the ground, watching Lights final moments as he faded from me completely. The clouds opened their gates and it began to pour as my tattoo began to sting from point to point.
The point on my left shoulder, following down to the point on my right hip, down to the point on my end of my spine, up to my right shoulder and to the point that wrapped around my right thigh. I lay there in the mud and rain as pain overtook me. My eyes became wide and my back arched impossibly as I screamed in intense pain and I passed out.
I woke up to a clear sky and cracking skin from mud and other substances from my mission. The pain along my tattoo was still intense but the other pain made me beg for death. Light's presence was missing but the bad feeling had passed.
I pulled myself up again with the help of the rocks and trees if fell between and sipped on some water from my canteen as I sat on a rock, stood up and slowly started to walk through the pain. I didn't know how long I walked but I was at least two hours away from Konoha but as I got through the gates, I fell to my knees again and I had put my mask away a long time ago. The gate guards rushed up to me and started fussing when one decided to run for a medic.
"No, wait.' I panted through the pain. "I need to see the Hokage now!" I pushed urgency through my voice. They shared my weight between them and we took off over the roofs to the Hokage's office. We arrived and rushed into the Hokage's office. He jumped up and helped me to sit down and sent the guards off to get a medic on their way back to their posts.
My face was scrunched up with pain as Hiruzen checked me over and I whimpered slightly at the movements. I screamed and my back arched away from his touch as he touched my Seal and tattoo and hunched over my thighs, exhausted from the constant pain.
"Sonea, is what happens when one of your circle members die?" Hiruzen asked sadly as he stood back. I nodded my head slightly but he caught the movement. He summoned an ANBU on duty to find Uzumaki Taka and bring him right away, the ANBU took off as the secretary walked in with a bowl of water and sat it on the desk. I was still hunched over my legs and I tried to watch what was going on as Hiruzen avoided my seal and began to clean me off a little.
My breathing became ragged, heavy and forced when Taka walked in. He looked over my seal and I smelled his blood just before it was wiped in patterns on my extremely painful back. A towel was shoved into my mouth to muffle my screams. The pain eased off slightly and I managed to sit up with some help. I could barely keep my eyes open as I sat there.
"What happened… To Light?" I asked with a rough and sore voice.
"The mission was a complete failure as Sakumo abandoned it after Light was killed to save the rest of the team. And I'm afraid that it will cause some heavy casualties over the next few months as this war progresses." I nodded my understanding, when Minato walked in with panic on his face when he saw me. Thankfully, Taka stopped his hand before it touched my back. And they stared angrily at each other.
"Taka, stand down. Minato, don't touch her seal right now." Hiruzen warned them. My chest became sore with my laboured breathing as I started to slip into unconsciousness again as my eyes fluttered and kept sliding closed but forced myself to stay awake.
"What happened to her." Minato asked as he kneeled in front of me and wiped at the rings under my eyes with worry burning through his blue eyes.
"This is from Light's death." Taka said with no emotion. I saw Minato's eyes flash with anger and then with sympathy.
"So, you knew straight away." He said quietly to me as he held my now ice cold hands.
"I watched and felt him die." I said tiredly with an emotional shake to my voice. Minato let me rest my head against his shoulder as emotion flowed from me silently.
"Minato, can you take her back with you and keep an eye on her condition?" Hiruzen asked as Taka walked out.
"Sure Sandaime-sama. Sonea, can you walk?" He asked quietly in my ear. I shook my head to indicate a 'no'. Minato stood up and walked around me. He then put me over his left shoulder and held onto my left leg. I silently thanked him for thinking of my seal as he began to his house.
He put me down gently onto a stool in his room. I must have looked bad by his worried expression as he walked to the sink in the bathroom and put antiseptic fluid into a bowl and filled it with warm water and grabbed a cloth and towel from the rack. He took my weapons off carefully and lay them on the dresser. He then removed my vest and arm plates and put them onto the pile.
He left the room when someone knocked and went to let them in. It was Kushina who rushed over to me and nearly put her hand on my back when Minato caught it in time. I let a small sigh escape my mouth.
"Sonea, what the hell happened to you, dattebane? I heard your screaming through the entire village." She said worriedly, bending down to look at me face to face and lay her hands on my thighs and touched the one that was on my right thigh. I winced and started to whimper when Minato removed her left hand from my right thigh and sat her down on the stool across from me.
"She is very delicate right now around her seal so please refrain yourself from touching her to much. I also need you to help me clean her up and get her out of her clothes." Minato said as he reached for the cloth and began to clean my face. Kushina had gotten up and took my halter neck top off with a lot of pain when another cloth was shoved into my mouth to scream into.
Minato avoided my seal as Kushina helped me out of my pants and to sit down again with another wave of pain as the pants slid over my tattoo on my thigh.
"This is going to hurt a lot but I'll be as quick as I can." Minato whispered by my ear from behind me when I suddenly felt the cloth rub over my seal and tattoo. I tried to arch away as tears sprung from my eyes but Kushina held me from the front by my shoulders as it continued to rub over the skin. I placed my head in the crook of Kushina's neck and cried at the pain, she rubbed my arms in soothing motions. Finally the rubbing stopped and I was released. They stood back and watched me for a while.
"Come on, I'll take you to my bed." Minato said as he took my hands to steady me as I stood up. I walked slowly to the bed and lay on my stomach to my left a little and I finally fell asleep.
I woke up to a blanket thrown over me and some of my clothes on the end of the bed, it was my shinobi uniform. I felt experimentally at my seal and it was just like a bruised burn. I put my clothes on carefully over my leg and walked to the lounge where Minato and Kushina were cuddling up on the couch. I smiled weakly at this as I walked over and sat down gently but sat away from the back of the couch. It was bad enough having pants on and a strip of material running across it.
"How are you doing?" Minato asked, looking over Kushina to me.
"I don't know right now. I'm still in pain." I said tiredly. He smiled sadly at me.
"And what about emotionally?" He asked carefully.
"I feel like I should be dead right now after feeling all of Lig…" I stopped to swallow back emotion and closed my eyes tight. Kushina placed a hand on my left thigh and squeezed in support. I opened them again and let a small sigh out.
"It's okay, you don't have to talk about it." Kushina said in a soft voice as she rubbed her hand up and down in a soothing fashion.
"How is everyone else doing?" I asked.
"Sakumo is distraught as is Kakashi but they will be fine. As for your circle, not to badly except for Storm." Minato informed me. I closed my eyes as a tear escaped my eyes. Kushina's hand moved up to wipe them away.
I could hear the Jyuubi screeching from my sub conscious as I grabbed my ears at the sound. The seal was in an imbalance again and the Jyuubi was now struggling against it. I drew in natural chakra and changed to my demon form and it became quieter as it was restrained by it. I opened my eyes and still clutching my ears to the worried looks of Kushina and Minato. It could feel the Kyuubi that is why it was struggling.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything Kushina but one of us needs to leave." I said releasing my head and breathing heavily.
"Why?" She asked defensively. Luckily Minato was a genius and stepped in.
"Her seal is weakened and the Jyuubi must be sensing the Kyuubi within you." He said, leaning over her shoulder. Her face softened and I stood up and started to walk for the door when I was looking at the floor and felt arms around me. Minato stood me back up and smiled at me.
"Thanks but I better leave." I said as I reached the door and walked out. I continued to walk carefully so as not to trip again and I ended up at the Hatake's house. I went up to it and knocked. The door opened and I had Kakashi and Sakumo clung onto me. I hissed in pain and they let go quickly and watched my face with guilt written over them, I forced a smile and took a deep breath. Kakashi had red rings under his eyes as did Sakumo.
"It's just a bit of pain. Can I come in?" I asked and they moved out of the way to let me in. I sat down carefully onto the couch and waited for them to settle down.
"I'm sorry for your loss." I choked out with a small sob but I kept my tears in check. I saw Sakumo and Kakashi let a few tears run down.
"You too Sonea, thank you. How are you handling it?" Sakumo asked.
"It's going to take a while. We were 'connected' in a different way that causes me pain and I'm sorry for hissing at you earlier as I'm still suffering a bit of pain." I said as I studied Sakumo's face. I was glad that he did not pry into the connection.
"Were you hurt on your last mission?" Kakashi asked, worried, as he looked me over with his dark grey eyes.
"It's complicated Kakashi." I said, hoping he wouldn't ask more questions.
"What's wrong… I want to help?" He asked. I closed my eyes with disappointment. I stood up and started to the door.
"Nothing… Don't worry about it. I'll see you later." I said sadly as I closed the door behind me.
