Hi I'm Alaina Rayne, I write things!

I love reviews, but if you write just to be mean, then I'm going to have to block you. No hard feelings!

I hope ya'll enjoy.

History wrote down that the Sage of Six Paths was immensely powerful, it also was written down his many accomplishments. Later history focused on his two sons who fought and fought till they bathed the land in their own blood. History captured the life of the forming Kages and continued recording the life of all of the villages and the death.

What History never recorded however was; what happened to the Sage? His immense power was too great to just allow him to die off. As he felt his consciousness drifting from him he had one thought cross his mind. Who was going to take care of the precious land he fought so hard to protect? He could see his oldest son eyes and how they held resentment and hatred toward his younger brother. He couldn't leave knowing what was about to happen. He slipped his life force in to the earth to watch over and protect the land.

Now he was in the present and the land was hurting. Much more than it had ever hurt before. The Sage was growing angry he was tempted to kill everyone regardless of guilt or innocence. Then he saw it. Humanities last hope. She was the embodiment of what he wanted in the world he protected so long ago.

She got stabbed all the way through by Zetsu, instead of letting her go however, she held on to him falling on to the earth. Grunting through the pain she gripped his hair refusing to release him.

"What are you doing girl?" He growled trying to jerk away.

"I-I want to look into my killers eyes." She wheezed in pain.

His golden eyes looked at her in confusion. "I'm a clone stupid girl. You'll get no satisfaction in doing anything to me."

"I know." She said looking at him.

Her look was neither hateful nor in fear. It was sadness, pity. The Sage didn't understand this girl.

"I don't understand woman, now either kill me or die." He growled jerking his arm around causing her to let out a sharp scream.

"I'm not going to kill you." She answered in a soft voice. "It must be so lonely. So lonely to have a consciousness, but not be able to control it, to feel the pain of thousands going through your body, I'm so sorry for you." She cried.

Zetsu just stared at the woman in confusion but did nothing more. Then she reached her bloodied hands around him and held him in a motherly embrace. Zetsu was frozen. Who was this woman and what was wrong with her. She coughed violently and shuddered against him. Zetsu could feel her muscles spasm around his arm. Blood gushed out leaving a weird feeling within the clone. A dead and empty feeling. He held back on to the woman that was lying beneath him. She took in a small breath before giving him a smile.

"I don't hate you." She cried.

She fell limp and Zetsu released her feeling a great pain in his chest. What was this pain? It hurt he wish he could change what he had done and just about cried for the woman who didn't even know him. He slaughtered most if not all of her comrades and she forgave him. She didn't hold any resentment towards him. He ran into a tree so hard he cracked his skull letting blood run down his face. He ran into it again finally killing himself.

Sage seeing this amazing act knew his only hope for mankind was dying. She wasn't dead just yet, and if he could help it her friends would have another chance at life. He melded his life force in to the young girl's body and used what was left of her chakra to use an old forbidden jutsu that died with him. He turned time back, back as far as he could take it without killing himself and her. Now all she had to do was save the world, how hard could that be?
