Author's Note: Hey, I know Setsu sounds like a Mary Sue so far, but if you give her a chance you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Destiny. Sometimes you
wonder if what you're searching for is the right path to get the
wanted result. Sometimes, what seems right is wrong and what is wrong
is actually right. To find what you're looking for, you need to
accept yourself for who you are and embrace that. But sometimes you
see yourself and refuse to accept that that is who you truly are.
"Do they have a problem with the application?" Setsuna turned
her cold eyes to her Sensei. He turned to her, the look on his face
quite unfathomable.
"Well the ANBU are a bit unsure about
letting you in. You do meet all the requirements, but of course you
know about the massacre with-"Setsuna finished for him.
"Uchiha…
Uchiha Itachi." Setsu spoke the name with contempt and discomfort.
"They are more concerned about where your loyalties lie with."
Setsuna's eyes flashed with rage.
"I would be more than
willing to fall to my death for my village!" Her Sensei, stoic as
ever simply smiled.
"They said if truly want to join the ANBU,
then you will be assigned to an S rank mission. I know you will be up
to it. You will have to infiltrate the Akatsuki."
Setsuna for
the first time showed signs of surprise and shock, but quickly
regained her composure.
"Anything. I will be willing to do
anything…"
"Mercy! Please... Spare him!" The mother
cried out as the katana pierced her side; she slumped onto the
ground, dead. The boy started crying. Tsuki turned to the boy. She
hated crying. But she did show mercy, she made sure the katana hit a
fatal blow, so he would not feel the pain of death.
Tsuki turned
away from the bloody scene. Her black cloak contrasted her pale,
white hair. She smiled. She hadn't been this pleased in months.
Without bothering to clean her sword, she picked up the scroll of
information about the next 4 demons.
"You're late."
Setsuna's black eyes narrowed spitefully at her new partner. Tsuki
simply smiled at her.
"I got the job done. That's what
matters, isn't it?" Setsuna frowned and stared at the slaughter
behind her. It repulsed her; her partner was so bloodthirsty and
violent.
Concealing remorse for the lives lost, she started to
hasten her stride. "Pein-sama will not be pleased. You wasted hours
for unnecessary actions and deeds."
Tsuki shrugged it off and
replaced her katana into the holder in her back. Setsuna started to
wonder what she got herself into. She was now holding the fate of
Konoha village in her hands. If they ever suspected her as a traitor…
The day was dawning, and red clouds streaked across the skies.
The partners silently walked on.
"I can't believe Leader-sama
would let such a weakling into the Akatsuki." Setsuna's hands
shook with anger, but still, even then, she didn't show any signs
of emotion. Emotion was not fitting for a proper ninja.
Tsuki
watched with interest at her partner. She didn't show any signs of
concealed rage or anger. Such self-control was unknown at such a
young age.
"Still, even so you are young. You must be a genin,
chunnin at the very most."
Setsuna sighed. "You are mistaken.
I advanced to the jounin level 7 months ago."
Tsuki was shocked
and outraged. Why, of all people had it taken such little time to
progress so far? It had taken herself many years of vigorous training
to ascend to the jounin level. She unsheathed her katana. The little
brat wasn't going to get out of this one so easily.
Setsuna
barely had enough time to doge the deadly blade. The katana hit the
ground and ascended into the ground several feet. Tsuki easily picked
it out of the ground and came for a counter attack.
"Katon:
Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" Tsuki sleeve was scorched and she drew back in
pain. Her black eyes narrowed in anger, she threw down her sword, and
ran head first into Setsuna.
"Suirō no Jutsu!" Tsuki closed
her eyes, and the sphere simply broke into pieces of ice. She tore
into Setsuna, only to have it melt away into the sun. She realized
her mistake, but it was too late.
"Chidori!" Setsuna lunged
in for the attack, but Tsuki had plans of her own. "Kinen-Souki no
jutsu!"
