AN: hi there! im new to fanfiction and im so freakin' excited so please oh please tell me what you think okay?, oh and hikage was a one year old when naruto and sasuke fought and lost their arms. now five years later naruto is hokage, married to hinata and sasuke is still gone and hikage is a six year old. I OWN NOTHING IF YOU SUE ME I WILL COUNTERSUE FOR WRONGFUL ACCUSATION AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS or something like that
"traitor.."
"did you hear... scandalous..."
"should be removed from konohagukare..."
little Hikage Murakami's head snapped up at the anbu's words, tears still rolling down her little round face. "nononono, oh no they wouldn't! would they?"
a tiny choked sob escaped the six yer old's throat. she was so scared and sad and lonely. this coulndn't be happening. Sanami nee-chan would never betray the hidden leaf village it had to be a lie! but it wasn't. one of the last two living members of the Murakami clan had become a missing nin, abandoning her younger sister to take the fallout of her actions. Hikage was in the hokage tower waiting to be picked up for questioning by ibiki morino. she didn't like the idea of talking to him. he was a very scary man.
everyone looked at her funny. everyone figured it was just a matter of time before she followed in her sister's footsteps. nobody had seemed to care about Hikage or Sanami after their entire clan was killed on the front lines during the war against madara to protect the leaf village. nobody saw anything wrong with leaving one year old Hikage in the care of eleven year old Sanami. nobody reached out to help them. nobody paid any attention to them until Sanami had become a shinobi and even then they didn't give a damn about them anymore than any other clan's children. Sanami had to support and raise her baby sister with the apartment provided by the hokage, the little food a few merchants handed them out of pity and whatever money Sanami could make doing odd jobs around the village and later earned on missions. but supporting the two of them meant Sanami had to leave Hikage alone somewhere to make money. so she enrolled her one year old sister in the academy's early training/daycare program. they were from a shinobi caln and they both carried the will of fire in their blood. of course when Hikage was around four she started picking up easy odd jobs to try to help out. they got by. secretly Hikage pitied her poor nee-chan who never got to go out and have fun when she wasn't in school, and she felt guilty for how hard her sister had to work. she hated being a burden.
obviously, at the ripe old age of six, Hikage was confused and afraid when her sister didn't return from her latest mission. aside from Sanami nee-chan she had no one.
Hikage cried for days and did not speak for weeks when Sanami was offically presumed dead. Hikage had horrible nightmares about her sister's death every night she actually slept which was maybe two or three nights a week. nobody cared about Hikage enough to notice. she made her sister a plate of food at every meal and carried it all the way to the memmorial stone for shinbi and ate her food beside the empty grave of her sister, even when she got home late, so she had dinner late and the graveyard was dark and iy was stormy and scary. Hikage was on her way home from the acadamy when it hit her that she, Hikage murakami was the last of her clan. she needed to try harder to uphold her clan's honor. she worked and trained harder. she forced herself to speak to people when necassary. she still ate with her sister. she stopped letting herself cry in front of people. 'I am Hikage murakami, I will be the greatest shinobi in the world and my clan will live on!'
then a team on the way to suna was attacked by a group of missing nin. Sanami Murakami was umong the attackers.
Hikage murakami was picked up by the anbu for questioning. the whole village suspected her to be a traitor. the merchants didn't give her pity food anymore after that.
four years later at the age of ten, Hikage still hated feeling like she was the least trusted citizen of konoha. she was angry at her sister. but Hikage was more angry at herself for wishing Sanami would come home. a part of her hated herself for the sheer undiluted joy she felt upon learning her sister was a traitoer because it meant her sister was alive. she would never allow herself to actually try to bring her home. she had to show everyone thet she and the murakami caln were loyal to the village even if certain members of the clan didn't quite fit that mold. cough only other living member of the clan coughcough. yesterday she had finally graduated from the academy and recieved her very own konoha forhead protector. she immediately replaced the navy blue cloth woth a black one since in keeping with her clan's customs as a second born she only wore black, purple and a little gray, just as Sanami nee-chan to this day even as a missing nin, only wore black and red because she was a first born. first child, red&black, second purple&black, third blue&black, and so on. this was not to represent a rainbow, this was to represent the visible light spectrum. Hikage grinned at the mirror as she put on her very own freakin' konoha forhead protector! she struggled to keep her thick dark esspresso brown hair from escaping and covering the leaf symbol. most of the headband was already covered by her hair but not the konoha symbol dammit! her dark grayish green eyes narrowed as she waged war on her unruly hair, shorter than some boy's wore it in the back. it was more shaggy than spikey but it did have a thick droopy spikes look in some places. her cheeks puffy with annoyance and her brows furrowed she convinced her hair to cover all the headband it wanted to so long as the symbol was visible. even th non-symbol parts of metal wer overtaken by hair. Hikage sweatdropped. she speant a good fifteen minutes brushing it seemingly to no avail. personally she wanted to grow it out, but it just refused to grow. she had managed to grow it to mid back but a small training incident involving a fireball jutsu had caused her to take a kunai to it to avoid her whole head catching fire. heheh. oops.
moving on from anything else involving her several slight traing mishaps, today she would be assighned a team and sensei! woot! "this is so exciting, Sanami nee-chan would be so-" Hikage's mood took a nose dive, and she inwardly chastised herself for the thought. once she was all ready to go she climbed out her windwow and started roof hopping toward the academy. around halfway there, she sensed a surge of chakra on her left a second before the biggest explosion she had ever seen swallowed the woods by the gates of the village. konoha was under attack. Hikage's first instinct was to follow the protocal learned as a child in case of attack but she squashed it immediately. she was an official kunoichi. granted, it was her first day as a genin and some may argue that she still didn't count, but the wieght on her forhead said otherwise. it was her duty as a leaf shinobi to defend the village!
she started in the direction of the blast. she had traveled not even five miles when she came across the battle. Hikage froze at what she saw. fire and blood on every surrounding furface, weapons lodged in dead bodies, terrified civilians attempting to escape the horror before their eyes. her body stiffened further at the feeling of a malignant chakra coming at her fast from behind. she could hear a weapon being drawn. Hikage performed rapid hand sighns 'substitution jutsu' several kunai stuck out of the log in her place. appearing behind her adversary, she landed an impressive spinning kick while retreiving a kunai from her pouch. she landed in a crouch with a kunai in each hand as she and her oponent stared each other down. the man easily topped six feet, muscles bulging, dark eyes shifting, the scratched out rock village symbol on his forhead protector glinted in the sunlight as he charged. Hikage figured he had to be a pretty lousy ninja, seeing as he had hoplessly failed to conceal his chakra, not to mention his size. a shinobi needed to be in top physical condition at all times but this guys muscular build would be more of a hinderence then a help as a shinobi. he was too big to move as fast as he had to, his body made loud thumps when he roofhopped, he was just a big useless brute with minimal training, she decided. she ducked to the side and swung her kunai to stab the back of his neck, brainstem, spine both would be severed and the idiot would drop dead. however, his fist came crashing toward her and as she dodged her kunai ended up in his right shoulder, still getting hit but avoiding the full impact of the blow. Hikage palmed the ground as she summersaulted away. she aimed a shuriken and threw it, to see it stick in the wall beside the buffoon.
then the world went black, and thousands of eyeballs surrounded her, whispers joining them. "ugh..ack!" pain in her upper left thigh and in her stomach. then Hikage heard the thumping. "KAI" she shouted, dispelling what had to be the most pathetic genjutsu in existance. she performed the handsighns shoutoing, "fireball jutsu!'' the buffoon staggered backward, and Hikage yanked the kunai from her thigh then her stomach to find the shuriken she had hidden in the flames had all landed in random places around the buffooon (her offical nickname for the oversized excuse for a shinobi)
"hahaha, foolish child failing to land a single blade..." the buffoon cackled like a hoarse madman.
"yeah, that would seriously suck if you were the target." Hikage replied with a lopsided smirk.
the buffoon stopped laughing to raise an eyebrow as Hikage snapped her fingers, leeping to another rooftop and activating the exploding tags she kept attatched to all of her kunai and shuriken many of which she had scattered all around the buffoon. the building they had stood on and the much taller building beside it collapsed due to the explosion, so even if the explosions failed to kill him, being buried in rubble would.
"fucking moron."
unfortunately she slipped on a loose shingle and dislocated two fingers on her left hand catching herself, added with the gihugic bruise on her side, her bleeding stomach wound, her bleeding leg wound, halfway depleted chakra, and the fact that she was technically late for her first day as a genin plus the battle being far from over did not bode well at all. Hikage was so glad she constantly studied the first and second generation of sanin because she had memorized almost every stradegy and skill they had used as genin for inspiration and the second snake sanin, (uchiha something or other) had invented the idea of hiding shuriken in flames. posatively brilliant.
Hikage quickly learned she was out of her leage. she threw kunai, shuriken and every jutsu she knew, seemingly at random targets. she carried an unconcious leaf shinobi to the emergency war of the hospital. but she was nothing compared to pretty much every other shinobi there. konoha was going to win. she hadn't made much of a difference at all. she was in a lot of pain. she was damn near out of chakra. but she was having the thrill of her life fighting for her home. proving herself.
then it happened. Hikage couldn't move. she couldn't breathe. because the missing nin she was looking at was (you guessed it) her sister. Sanami Murakami. Sanami nee-chan. Hikage's body trembled. her chest constricted painfully. tears burned at the back of her eyes. she did not let them fall. Sanami didn't notice her as she was fighting a konoha shinobi at the time. a blond woman wearing lots of purple with her hair covering one eye that carried a strong scent of flowers. Sanami was focused on her current fight. Hikage's eyes landed on a kunai in the dirt beside her. if she came at Sanami with it right now while the twenty year old missing nin wasn't paying attention she would have a fair chance at killing her. she reached for the weapon and stopped. she could not close her hand around the handle. memories swam through her conciousness. Sanami scaring a bully away from Hikage. Sanami lifting her up on a stool at ichiraku ramen. Sanami teaching her to use her chakra. Sanami teaching her to use the Murakami clan's kekai genkai.(you'll see it later) Hikage realized that she didn't want Sanami to die. and that in its self felt like a betrayal to konoha. a weakness. at that moment Sanami unsheathed her katana, the beautifull gold handle wrapped in lovely deep red silk, the sharp blade glinting in the light like a twinkling star, and stabbed the blond shinobi who tried to get out of the way in the right side of her upper abdomen, even a medical dummy like Hikage knew she had punctured the woman's lung. Hikage was openly suprised when Sanami was thrown backward along with the earth under their feet.
"HELL YEAH!" a feminene voice bellowed. a pink haired woman had a fist to the ground. Hikage gasped. it was uchiha sakura, the second slug sanin!
uchiha sakura, the uchiha sakura was right in front of her. she was in awe. meanwhile sakura rushed to the blond woman's side, removed the katana, and with glowing hands started healing her. if sanin are involved th battle was worse then Ithought, Hikage mused. did that mean...? a loud clang erupted directly in front of her and she saw a massive red armer clad toad. she sure as hell knew what that meant the hokage had arrived. shit just got real.
apparently Sanami and the rest of the missing nin felt the same because they turned tail and fled.
"H-Hokage sama! thanks-I-I mean thank youvery much lord hokage, sir!" Hikage uttered with a low bow.
"HAHA Im just glad nobody was killed. the hidden leaf village is the greatest village ever! BELEIVE IT!" naruto shouted to the genin two feet away from him.
Hikage really liked the seventh hokage. he was one of the most powerful ninja inthe universe but he was also the nicest person she had ever met.
her eyes fell upon Sanami's abandoned katana. 'this sword... has been abandoned by Sanami nee-chan... I have been abandoned by Sanami nee-chan... this katana will be mine now. this inanimate object of killing and i will find strength in each other. we will find comfort in knowing we have both been abandoned and survived. together.' Hikage became even more determined to be the greatest. but there was something she needed to do first.
Hikage approached the hokage and kneeled doewn. naruto stared down at the ten year old genin in confusion. her hands trembled. she hurt everywhere. she was struggling to stay awake due to severe chakra depletion. but this was omething she had to do.
"hokage sama..." she trailed off. then she looked up still on one knee and looked naruto right in the eyes, then lifted her sister's-no her katana and stabbed her leg through bone, the blade sticking out the back of her leg, deep red blood pooling, running down her leg, the mettalic, sick scent permeateing the air. she went on in a marginally stronger voice.
"hokage sama I swear on this oath of pain that my loyalty and the loyalty of my clan lies soley with konohagakure. I will never do anything against the hidden leaf village. you certainly don't need it, but you have my permission to kill me if I break my word hokage sama." she spoke so everyone could hear without yelling. everyone stared. unable to hold out anymore Hikage stood, bowed turned away, took two and a half steps, and promptly passed out.
