I do not own Naruto Masashi Kishimoto does and only Nokoribi and Momi belong to me.
Her life could not get any worse! Firstly she had 'accidently' killed her entire village and family. But now as she flees from the place she had once called home she runs into two of the most notorious Akatsuki members. Really? Could her life get any worse? Well, yes. Much. Worse.
I can't take it anymore! She screamed inwardly. The agony, constant 'upgrades' to her body and the loneliness. It was unbearable.
The story and reason behind her life was very simple. She had been designed to be the ultimate weapon in ninja warfare, a secret weapon of course. Her tiny village was located in the shadow of Konoha, known to many as the Village Hidden in the Darkness. Every capable shinobi had been taken into the flanks of the Leaf Village. If there was a war there would be no possible way of defending themselves. Or at least that's what they let everyone outside the village think.
She was the only weapon they needed. She was a Jinchuuriki of a secret chakra demon. Samples of every tailed beast mixed into one. It was known as the Phoenix. Its creator being the Sage of the Six Paths, it was born as a defence against the Ten Tails if it was ever formed and placed into an evil human. The Phoenix was buried into the genes of the Taiyo Clan. The members of which possessed a Kekki Genki known and feared as Spectrum Skin, allowing them to phase through walls or any solid object as well as mould themselves into any background. However through the years its abilities had mutated and now many were unsure of what it could do for there was only one living person who possesses the Spectrum Skin. And she was the ultimate weapon. Her name was Nokoribi Taiyo.
Since she was a small child her life consisted of training, training and more training. Then there were the experiments and operations. There to make her quicker, stronger anything and everything to give that village a fighting chance of survival if there were to be a war.
She was hidden in concrete cell, under the dirt of the village with minimal visits from her parents. She was to turn seventeen in a month and through her whole life she had seen her mother six times. Although the villagers knew nothing of her existence, rumours spread that a monster was developing in the shadows of the Village. The people feared and hated her presence. Without even meeting her.
"Mother, Father. I know we have never been close but as daughter please don't let them adjust my body anymore. I can't take the agony. Please."
"I'm sorry Nokoribi but it is your fate as the Jinchuuriki of the Phoenix. This path was chosen for you, so be honoured.
You know, I treat you better than that and I am a monster for Heaven sake. Come on child. Use some of my Chakra and show them what you're really worth.
Shut Up! I can't use your Chakra it's forbidden and I don't want to hurt anyone.
I promise I won't hurt them, okay? It'll just be like they have all gone into a deep sleep.
You mean like DYING?
Um…noooooooooooooooooooooo! It'll be just these few people here. So we can escape.
My parents…I don't want…
Painless. I promise.
She was unsure what to do but the beast inside her had kept her company throughout her life of imprisonment. She had been a better parent than both her father and mother put together. No matter how much Nokoribi wished for freedom, killing was wrong. But in her reluctance was a pinch of bloodlust. She wanted to hurt these people for everything they had put her through. Her life was worth more than this.
Make your choice kiddo. It's now or never.
"The operating table is ready for you now."
NOW, NOW, NOW!
Okay, a whole lot of Chakra awesomeness coming up!
It happened in seconds. The flash of Chakra that exploded from her, there was so much she thought it would rip her skin apart. The cloak of bubbling red substance that surrounded her set her skin ablaze making her cry out.
So much for painless!
I thought you were referring to the villagers.
Unlike the other tailed beasts, the Phoenix form was tailless. However the cloak formed around Nokoribi's body to create the silhouette of a bird. Also different to the rest of the Bijuu, was that her Chakra lashed out attacking anything living in its way, draining its Chakra and life-force as it went. Empowering the Jinchuuriki further.
She burst through the ceiling of them room once there was no life remaining the people that were down there. They were nothing but empty shells now. Nokoribi found herself in what appeared to be the village market place, well what used to be the market place. Now it was just a giant crater. Families ran screaming, mothers were frantically grasping their children's' hands, merchants tried and failed to save the stores.
Soon enough though the chaos was silenced. Nobody escaped the wrath of the Phoenix and the clutch of her Chakra. Bodies lay strewn across the village. This place was now a place filled of empty houses and soulless human shells.
Now that it was silent Nokoribi's blood began to cool as she calmed down. Instead of anger and lust for freedom a wave of guilt and sadness washed over her. She gazed around the village she was supposed to protect.
Well, if you ask me they had it coming. This is a great example of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You said it would only be a few people.
I may have got a teeny tiny bit carried away and I am very, very sorry for that. But we're free now! You should be happy. Yay.
Just to let you know my face was disapproving then. Okay I guess we had better get moving otherwise were gonna' get caught and everyone here would have died for nothing.
As Nokoribi jumped into the safety of the trees she glanced back at the tiny little village she had been forced to protect.
Meanwhile!
"Okay, okay another question. What if Zetsu was going to eat either your mother or brother, which one would you save?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked a very sharp toothy grin spreading across his blue skin.
His partner, Itachi Uchiha and him had been walking for nearly two hours. An hour and fifty minutes of which Kisame had been trying to no avail to get his partner to say more than just one syllable.
There was a strange crunching noise from beneath Itachi's cloak as his teeth slowly gritted together. Had the famously cool Uchiha finally cracked? If anything a fight would be an improvement and it would satisfy Kisame's violence fetish –yes I went there.
Itachi merely turned to his blue partner with an unwavering gaze, "I would trade them both for you."
Kisame just laughed it off, "but that's not an option."
"How about we make it one?"
Itachi's eyes widened as he activated his Mangekue Sharingan, "Tsukyomi."
"Ah, shit not again," His voice trailed off as he was put under the genjutsu.
It lasted mere seconds before Itachi's eyes returned back to regular the Sharingan and Kisame shook his head, feeling just a little dazed.
"Seriously, you put people under Genjutsus way to easily. Anybody would have thought I had shaved your pony tail off with Samehada for that torture."
"So you enjoyed being chewed on by Zetsu?" Itachi giggled inwardly, a literally fish stick. But because he didn't want to break his I'm-A Badass-Uchiha façade he just coughed to cover his smile.
"See that's what you get for using it so easily! It makes you weak."
Yeah, that's totally the reason.
Schwing! Schwing! Schwing!
"Kunai! Well Itachi I may have found a new source of entertainment."
"There. Up in the trees."
