Ash and fire covered the entire field, burnt bodies of shinobi everywhere. The blood had long since evaporated from the heat and the bodies had been burned beyond recognition. In the middle of the burned warzone was a small area of lush green grass covered by dozens of purple primroses with a woman laying in the middle. She had long, silver blonde hair stained red with blood, lilac purple eyes, and pale skin. Her dark purple kimono was torn from the waist up, revealing her bandaged stomach, blood staining and dripping from the bandages to the ground below her. She glanced up, her left hand tightly gripping a blood covered kunai as she hears footsteps crunching towards her.
"...what are... what the hell are you doing here?" The woman asks, venom filling her smooth voice. The person crouches down in front of her, smiling innocently. It was a young man with black hair, ringed purple eyes, and tan skin. He wore a black kimono with a dark red obi wrapped around his waist.
"Now, now. No need to get angry," The man states cheerfully. The woman growls in anger as the man looks around at all of the damage around him.
"It's such a shame that you're a hero who can cause so much damage. I would have loved you on my side," The man says, making the woman glare up at him before crying in pain when he presses a foot on her stomach.
"Where is it?" The man asks darkly, his innocent smile gone.The woman lets out a breathless laugh, making the man growl before he takes out a kunai and slams it into the woman's chest, almost stabbing her heart. The woman bites her bottom lip, stopping herself from screaming.
"I'm going to find it eventually without your help, Yamanaka Inoka. I'll spare your life if you tell me though," The man says, the woman, Inoka, coughing up blood. She struggles to breathe as she gives the man a smirk.
"You... you will never find it Uchiha Tatsunori. I hope you burn in hell for eternity trying to find it," Inoka says, making the man roar in anger as he slams his foot onto her head, a loud crack following after. The lush patch slowly shrivels up and dies as the silver blonde stares lifelessly at the grey sky. Tatsunori walks off as snow starts to fall. A faint purple aura surrounds Inoka before disappearing into the ground.
As the snow continues, a small purple primrose sprouts out of the ground next to a clan house, smaller houses surrounding the clan house.
Twenty Years Later
30 year old Yamanaka Inoichi stared out of the window, observing the purple wild primroses growing on the side of his house. The snow was falling in gentle waves in the silence. The pained screams of his wife, Yamanaka Akina, were muffled by the closed door. Inoichi glanced at the door when the screams stopped. He breathes a sigh of relief when he hears two babies crying. The door opens to reveal Yamanaka Inohi, Inoichi's mother.
"You may come in now, son," Inoshi says as she lets the anxious Jonin inside. Inoichi sighs in relief as he walks towards Akina. The exhausted woman was holding two bundles. She glances up when Inoichi sits at the side of the bed and gives him a tired but happy smile.
"Our daughters are beautiful, are they not?" Akina asks, making Inoichi chuckle as he gently takes one of the babies out of her hands.
"Yes. They'll become beautiful women. What should we name them?" Inoichi says, making Akina laugh. The baby in his hands calms down from it's crying and opens her eyes, staring up at Inoichi with lilac purple eyes. He stares back with wide eyes. He glances up at the window, seeing a dead bush before he stares back down at one of his daughters.
"This one will be named Ino. She has your eyes," Akina says as holds the small hand of the baby in her arms. Inoichi snaps out of his trance, trying not to cry as he looks up at his wife.
"Inoka. This one will be named Yamanaka Inoka," Inoichi says as he stares back out of the window, at the dead bush where the purple primroses were once located as the snow fell in a sorrowful yet happy dance.
"Who is the oldest Inoshi-chan?" Akina asks the old woman. Inoshi smiles as she puts a hand on her son's shoulder.
"Inoka by two minutes. We haven't had twins in decades but it is clan tradition for the eldest to be a part of the Ino-Shika-Cho," Inoshi says, making Akina frown slightly as she stares down at Ino.
"Don't worry, Ino-chan, I'll make sure you have the best team!" Akina exclaims as she pokes Ino's nose. The woman yawns as she blinks back exhaustion.
"Sleep, daughter-in-law. I'll take care of my granddaughters," The old woman says as she takes Ino out of the exhausted woman's hold. Akina gives her a grateful smile before falling asleep almost immediately. Inoshi's smile dropped as she glanced at Inoka.
"Why did you name her Inoka? That name is reserved for the next-"
"The primrose bush outside died right as Inoka was born. She has her eye color too. Inoka is the one," Inoichi says, making Inoshi glance up at the window, staring at the dead primrose bush. Inoshi sighs as she looks back down at Inoka, Ino sleeping peacefully in her arms.
"The 4th Hokage must know of this development. So should the Third since he knows of the Legacy," Inoshi says as she places Ino in the crib near the bed. She walks up to her son and gently takes Inoka out of his hands before placing her in a separate cradle.
"But, we can do all that in the morning. Go to bed. I'll watch over the children and your wife," Inoshi says as she pats Inoichi's shoulder. Inoichi sighs in defeat as ge stands up and walks out of the room, rowards his and Akina's bedroom. Inoshi sighs as she stares down at the barely awake Inoka.
"You have such a dangerous path in front of you, my Primrose. You will have to grow quicker than your sister, but you will blossom into a beautiful and deadly woman, ready to protect this village. Do not fail her," Inoshi whispers quietly before leaning down and kissing Inoka's forehead.
Inoshi leaves the room, not noticing as a small ice primrose appears on the window sill.
