"What is it, Leader-sama?" A woman's voice drifted throughout a dark room. The lady had bright blue hair tucked behind one ear with a paper flower and dark blue eyes. The supposed leader had dark reddish-orange hair and evil-looking gray-ringed eyes. He smirked as she came forward slowly and rubbed his shoulders and back, supposedly trying to soothe the disturbed man.
"We have had too many failures lately because of the emotions racing throughout the organization. We need to teach our most stubborn member a lesson he should not forget very quickly. Konan, I need you to collect a singe young girl from a poorer village. A seventeen-year-old should serve our purposes nicely. She must look very beautiful for our causes as well. He will take care of the girl until he gets quite attached to her, and then, he will be forced to kill her. If he does, we get rid of a troublesome addition o the base, but even if he doesn't, we'll get to kill him and get rid of a bothersome girl. No, go on, Konan. I need that girl quickly and it may take you a while to find the perfect one." Konan backed away from the man slightly.
"Yes, Leader-sama, I will do as you command." She bowed and turned to leave the room, unhappy to say the least. Seventeen was still only a child. How could Pein intentionally kill a child to find out if someone was loyal? She sighed and left the room to do what he told her, knowing it would be her head if she failed to find a suitable girl.

"Mother? Father? I just heard that Akatori is coming home from the war! He'll be home by the end of the week! Isn't that wonderful, Mother? Where are you?" A seventeen-year-old girl called around her small, dark house. The girl had soft, loving gray eyes and her silky black hair fell down to her mid-back. She stumbled around the dark room to find a candle that she lit with a small match. Once the candle was lit, she walked around her eerily quiet house, trying to find some sign of where her parents had gone. She knocked on the door to their room, thinking that, since it was late, her parents may be asleep. She had a strong feeling that something wasn't right around here.
"Papa? Mama? Are you sleeping?" She called quietly, opening the door slowly, just to peek her head in and get this horribly foreboding feeling out of her system. She moved the candle so that she could se better and what she did see would haunt her in her nightmares for the rest of her existence. Her mother was lying on the bed, looking like she was asleep, when the blood pouring out of her open chest told differently. Her father lie beside the bed, a dagger in his hand and it looked like he had been fighting when he had finally gone down. She dropped the candle and let out a terrified shriek as a pool of blood extinguished it. She tore out of the house, trying to get to her nearest neighbor's house almost a mile away.
"Someone help me! Please, someone help! My parents have been murdered as they slept! Someone help me please!" She cried as she ran down a dirt path, the stones biting into the soft flesh of her feet. Low-hanging branches tore at her arms and legs as she took off running down the forest path before whatever had gotten her parents got to her as well. A waterfall of tears cascaded down her face as she tried not to look back at was once her happy home. She was shaking violently, making it hard to run, but she kept going. As soon as she got out of the trees, a shadowy silhouette descended upon her from somewhere up above. She clawed and struggled as she was easily overtaken by another strong opponent and a cold hand touched a single pressure point on the back of her neck, causing her vision to darken and for her body to crumple to the ground.
Konan watched as the young girl fell from her arms into a heap on the ground. The girl had just seen her parent's corpses and now she was being forced into a world she knew nothing about. Just as Konan picked the lightweight girl up, her brows furrowed in confusion. The young girl had an extremely strong chakra level for someone who knew nothing of the shinobi world. She remembered to tell Pein about it and took the young girl back to their base.

"Good, this girl will do perfectly." Pein purred as he saw Konan coming in, carrying the seventeen-year-old girl like a small child.
"Pein-sama, this girl has never known of the world of the shinobi, but has the strongest chakra signature I've ever seen, next to a jinchuuriki." She told her 'leader', confusing coating her voice. Pein's brows furrowed as well, noting the young woman's chakra signature.
"This turns out to be interesting. Maybe, if Itachi doesn't kill the young girl we'll send her to live with his younger brother to torture him, hm? It would be better than killing the pathetic little thing, wouldn't it, Konan?"
"Yes Pein, it would."
"Good, prepare Itachi for this mission."
"Yes, Pein-sama. I will do that for you." Pein smiled sadistically as he looked at the girl. It was going to be an interesting time within his organization thanks to this girl.
