Tash raised her head and surveyed the area around her. Constantly fearing that someone would learn of the monster inside her. She, like a few others, were what was known as a jinchuriki. A sacrifice who must bare the burden of having one of the tailed demons sealed inside of them. However, Tash is a little different. She has a demon that no one has ever heard of. Akumu. Akumu, for a while, had no other name like the other tailed beasts, however, over time, rumours grew and people began to suspect that there was another tailed beast that they were not told about. They called it, The First.

Akumu was kept a secret ever since the ten-tails was split into the 9 tailed beasts that are known today. However, known only to Tash and her clan, the ten-tails was in fact split into 10. Being the only female among the tailed beasts, Akumu was immediately seen as a threat and was sealed inside Tash all those years ago. So quickly was she sealed that they never even got a look at how many tails she possessed. Hidden from all, even the tailed beasts themselves do not know of her existence.

Now thousands of years have passed and everyone who knew of Akumu's existence have passed. All except Tash. As the years passed, rumours of The First turned to legend and after a few more years it was forgotten almost completely. The demon inside of her, allowing her to pass as an 18 year old teenager instead her true age, Tash finds herself outside the valley of the leaf.

Tash hadn't been around people, other than the occasional traveller, in years. She was quite nervous as to what she would find but she was tired of living alone out in the middle of nowhere. Literally. The only thing that remained constant in her life and kept her sane was her demon, Akumu. Being together for thousands of years made them tolerate each other. Neither could now live without the other. This wasn't like ordinary jinchuriki. You see, if Akumu was removed from Tash now, both of them would die. Their chakra was now completely fused together.

Nervously, Tash entered the gate. No one stopped her at first so she just continued on into the village. Suddenly she saw ninja's coming at her from all sides. Trying to let them know she meant no harm she raised her hands and twisted them around. Letting them see that she had no weapons in her hands or on her body.

"State your business." A man who had aged terribly shouted.

"I wish to... join?" Tash said making it sound more like a question than an answer.
