Chapter 1: Escape and meeting a King

"Speech"

"Whisper/Singing"

'Thoughts'

"Dragon/Beast Speech"

In one of Orochimaru's hidden lairs a little girl no more than five years old sat in her cell. Her name was Experiment 0, she was never given a real name because Orochimaru never intended to use her for battle but other means, she was trained ever since she could first remember and also unlocked the famed Sharingan after one particularly grueling training session when she was only four years old.

The girl had ebony hair typical of an Uchiha and was kept short in messy waves and golden eyes. Her skin is pale but not sickly white, it was because she was never outside before. She only wore a plain shirt with plain pants and was barefoot while hugging her knees with her back against the wall. All the girl knew in her short life was training and hardships, she has no concept of fun or even what hobbies are, she just does what she's told because she doesn't know what else to do.

Her eyes were passive and neutral because expressing emotions is foreign to her, the only thing she knows is what she observes which still isn't much and she is afraid of showing emotion because she was punished when she tried smiling even though there was nothing to smile at, it was just to feel how it feels when observed someone do it.

The sound of her cell unlocking made her snap out of her brooding, she looked up to see her master Orochimaru with another little girl about a year younger than her with light blonde hair and bright green eyes also dressed like her in rags, innocent eyes so unlike her own.

"Reiju-chan, meet your new cellmate from now on." The snake man addressed her by her nickname, that she accepted as her name besides experiment 0.

Reiju felt suspicious at the sudden change, he never gave her a cellmate before, she was always alone. That was all he said before he locked the cell behind him and went on his merry way.

"Hi! My name's Meimi, but you can call me Meimi-chan." The girl introduced herself as she sat down expressing herself happily contrasting the gloomy situation she was in.

Reiju didn't know how to reply because she has never heard anyone be so friendly to her in her entire short life and it was new to her seeing someone so bright in this dark place.

"R-eiju." Her voice was hoarse from lack of speaking as she only speaks when spoken to. Even though she hates the name because it means zero, her existence doesn't matter it's the only thing she has to identify herself with.

"Let's play a game." Meimi's voice echoed through the cell.

A game? She never played game before, scratch that she never had fun before in her life. Being one of Orochimaru's test subjects can do that to you, luckily he's gone to wherever he is, probably experimenting on some poor fellow. She hopes he's not watching.

"What game?"

"A game of wits, where we guess things about each other." She said with an innocent smile that Reiju was envious of, but decided to accept out of curiosity.

"You go first Meimi." Meimi pouted not being called -chan like she asked but went with it anyway.

"You're lonely." Not what she was expecting, it's completely true she's still a child but doesn't have any friends.

"You're too cheerful."

"You need to lighten up, you're too cute to be so negative." She suddenly said disregarding the game.

Reiju tilted her head. "Cute? I don't even know what I look like." It's true, the only thing she does know is that she has black hair, she doesn't even know if she's ugly or beautiful because there aren't reflective surfaces anywhere.

Meimi squealed and sat in front of her too close for comfort and started describing how she looked to the clueless girl. Reiju was surprised her eyes were golden and is not bad looking at all, Meimi thinks she would grow up to be beautiful one day.

"Can I call you nee-chan?" Meimi asked cutely. Reiju was hesitant. Thankfully she was well educated even if she didn't know a what some things are from personal experience, she was asking if she could be her sister... family. Family is something she never had, so she might give a try, she gave a nod and found herself on the receiving end of a hug.

"Thanks nee-chan." She tensed from the feeling, but relaxed and started to savor her first hug.

For the first time Reiju felt... happiness.

As Orochimaru sat in his lab he couldn't help as he started laughing evilly as he thought about his perfect plan, it may take a long time, but Reiju is the perfect vessel. The reason he gave her a cellmate is to give her a friend, which he would viciously sever once their bond is strong later on when she's ready to gain the Mangekyo. He's got patience, if his plan is to bore success.

The girl Meimi Akane is just a simple civilian girl he bought from poor parents in a random village he doesn't remember. Her parents lost their jobs and struggled in poverty not able to feed each other, so they had no choice to sell her as a servant to someone who would be able to at least feed her. Terrible parents in his opinion, not that he can say anything because he's even worse. The only thing interesting about her is her surprising amount of intellect even though she appears childish she is smarter than she acts.

Subject 0, or Reiju as he calls her is his daughter, not that he see's her as one. He see's her as a means for him to gain immortality to achieve his ultimate goal: learn all the jutsu in the world.

Reiju is a result of he's curiosity taken to extreme twisted levels. He kidnapped an Uchiha woman that was out of the village on a mission but instead of fulfilling his desire of his obsession to learn all jutsu and take over the woman's body who was Mikoto Uchiha's cousin(and descendant of Madara not that he knows) he decided something far worse. He forcefully impregnated the woman with his seed just to see what the child would turn out to be since children are more likely to live from experiments than adults. That and a body with familial blood won't be rejected like the other times he took over a body. From then on her kept her restrained in chakra restraints to keep her from escaping, making them extra tight.

He took joy torturing her with rape, unfortunately her will was unexpectedly strong. She never broke even as she died giving birth, and every once in while when he continuously raped her, using aphrodisiacs for good measure, he's surprised she only gave birth to one child even with all the drugs. As far as he knows, she never showed any signs that she hates the child but didn't get a chance to name her either. So he'd never know, not that he cares either way.

The woman died during childbirth and because of the experiments he did while she was pregnant, her body couldn't take it. However somehow it was passed onto her child, nothing too major just that he inserted Mito Uzumaki DNA to give her Uzumaki Vitality and larger chakra reserves. The aftermath was a success and the child lived healthily without any side-effects becoming the first natural born(artificial) Uchiha born with Uzumaki genes and his own in a perfect blend. He of course extracted the mother's eyes which is already has Mangekyo from some kind of trauma she experienced before for later use.

He somehow found a seal scouring the ruined Uzumaki village that grants immortality that the Uzumaki kept secret and labeled a forbidden jutsu, hidden in a blood seal vault in the Kage building(It's not the only one, there is others but it requires Uzumaki chakra). Too bad they never used it, but its a good thing too since they would probably still be alive. The jutsu is an improved version of Tsunade's yin seal that was developed by Mito, it's called the yin-yang seal. It basically does the same as the yin seal but on a constant level which grants immortality since everything up to the organs, bone, muscle and skin constantly renews itself, and better yet without any side effects. Unfortunately only someone with strong Yang chakra is capable of using it, in other words an Uzumaki or they would eventually die. It seemed to be in a less secure place because they seemed confident no one would be able to use it. That's the reason he implanted Uzumaki dna in the mother before he got her pregnant.

However unknown to him the seal can only be used if the user has no evil in their heart, so unless he would suddenly become good, immortality will be forever out of his reach.

He's theory when he found something referencing the Uzumaki was once related to the Uchiha ages ago bore fruit as it bonded with her on a genetic level, both the mother and daughter.

Reiju is a genius, just like him but he only taught her necessary skills and is already nearing genin level after going through physical and chakra training since she was three, she already learned the Fireball jutsu but not mastered it yet. He trained and beat her to be loyal, she doesn't have any will to disobey him, he can see it in her eyes. Since she grew up the way she did, she is subservient to him. Her unlocking the sharingan a month ago was a bonus, even younger than Itachi unlocked his which was at six.

All he has to do now is be patient. After all good things come to those who wait, even if it's not morally accepted... at least that what he believes..

Two years has passed since Reiju met the cheerful young girl and became her big sister. She learned how to express her emotions and becoming more open, however she kept a cold mask in front of Orochimaru and his servants. She liked the stories Meimi told about the outside where the sun shines brightly upon everything and other kinder people live out there. Even though they live like rats and are given just enough food to avoid undernourishment, even though the food is bland and tasteless they still coped.

She learned more about the girl such as how her family was poor and was forced to give her up, and how her favorite book is called Fairy Quest. One of Meimi's dreams is to see a fairy and have a great adventure, sadly there was no escape from this life. The bond they share is strong and they are inseparable when not together.

One thing that did happen is that Reiju decided she would escape this place one day along with her sister away from living as an experiment, Meimi gave her hope, something she never thought she would have. She wants to experience life outside and not be a tool for Orochimaru's sick desires. She gained morality thanks to her sister telling her from what's right and wrong. Expressing emotions is natural now, and Reiju liked how it feels to express her happiness, anger and sadness with her beloved sister. She grew protective of the cute girl that first cheered her up.

Reiju was forced to fight other prisoners that had the curse mark to test her skills in combat, and she made her first kill... dealing with it was hard but she managed with her sister encouraging that she wasn't a monster.

Unfortunately Meimi was also subject to experiments and was forced to learn ninja training to hopefully increase her chances of surviving. She excelled in genjutsu but wasn't very strong in body, so there are days that she has to go sick like today...

"Shhh, you'll get better soon, Meimi-chan." She had long since started calling her -chan. Currently Reiju was holding the girl tight as they lay on the hard futon that didn't even have blankets.

Meimi simply put her head on Reiju's chest as they enjoyed on of the days that weren't subject to experiments or training. The experiments are taking a toll on Meimi since she's a civilian born and has a weaker body. It's not the first time this happened, but it's happening more often and Reiju is getting worried.

"Will I ever get a chance to see a fairy?" Meimi never lost her cheerfulness even though she lived harshly these last two years, she's determined to get out one day.

"Yes you will." She kissed Meimi's forehead as she drifted off to sleep. To be honest she's not sure they even exist but if an impossible goal would keep her sister happy, she would find one for her no matter how insane it sounds.

Days passed and Meimi didn't seem to get better, in fact she kept getting worse. She yelled for help, a medic. Anything. It was like the base was abandoned. The seal on the cell was extra reinforced and she couldn't force it open no matter how much she tried, and she sucked at sealing... since she wasn't taught. She couldn't do anything but helplessly watch as Meimi grew paler, it didn't help that they didn't receive any food either. Reiju didn't care about her own hunger since she was used to eating little when punished and even sometimes not even fed, but with no food Meimi is getting weaker.

She's not sure if Orochimaru abandoned them or if it's all just a game to him and he's pretending to not be there.

"Reij-ju." Meimi weakly called out. It seems that this is it, her sickness is so bad she can't even stand anymore and she could feel her body failing. Is this how she dies? Without even experiencing an adventure or even seeing a real life fairy.

Reiju knelt beside her with worry, she couldn't do anything as her only precious person kept getting worse, she won't have long if she doesn't get help. And it doesn't seem to be a simple flu either.

"I'm... not going to make it." Meimi admitted sadly. She's scared of dying but there's nothing she could do about it, her body was always weak and the experiments took its toll.

"No... you can't leave me!"

"It's okay, but promise me one thing... before I go." Reiju was reduced to tears for the first time in her life, she never cried before having lived through things that would break normal children but this was too much even for her.

"F-fine. I promise." She took the younger girls hand in her own and gave a comforting squeeze.

"I want you to leave this place and enjoy your life... go on your own adventures and find love... Oh and don't forget about the fairies... you can tell me if their real when you join me one day."

Reiju gave a nod still crying.

"Can you sing for me?" Reiju couldn't refuse. Even if she wasn't the best singer the girl did teach her how to sing when they were down so she started, even though it's not based on her life it's about her mother that she never knew and her sister.

"How can I repay you sister mine?

How can I expect you to forgive?

Clinging to the present, I shed our blood,

and shattered your chance to live.

Though I knew the rules, I payed no heed.

How can I return your wasted breath?

What I did not know has cost you dear,

for there is no cure for death.

Beautiful mother,

soft and sweet,

once you were gone I was left alone.

I tried to imagine your warmth,

alas, 'twas not meant to be.

How can I make amends,

for all that I took from you?

I lead you with hopeless dreams.

my sister I was a fool.

Don't cry for the past now,

sister mine.

Neither you nor I are free

from blame.

Nothing can erase the things we did,

for the path we took was

the same.

Beautiful mother,

soft and sweet,

once you were gone we were left alone.

we tried imagining your warmth,

alas, 'twas not meant to be.

My dreams made me

blind and mute.

I long to return to that time.

I followed without a word,

my sister the fault is mine.

So where do we go from here?

And how to forget and forgive.

What's gone is forever lost,

now all we can do is live.

Meimi smiled. "Thank... you." Her breathing kept getting slower as the minutes went by and Reiju watched in horror as the light in her beautiful green eyes lost it's shine. Meimi Akane died at the age of six with a smile on her face simply because she didn't die alone.

Reiju didn't know what happened next, if she was screaming or not but she felt incredible power and burning in her eyes before everything around her was engulfed in black flames before she passed out from the new pain and the shock of losing a precious person for the first time.

"Kukukuku... everything went just according to plan." Said a creepy voice that was Orochimaru's, before he traversed the places not covered in black flames and picked up the girl's body intent on initiating the next step, not realizing the girl was not fully knocked out.

What followed was Orochimaru placing her body on a surgery table and opening the Uzumaki scroll, and watched as the seal markings spread over her body like bugs crawling on her skin. She screamed in agony when the seals started disappearing under her skin, diamond tattoo markings appeared on her palms, one red and the other blue before vanishing as well. The process took a whole hour and was quite painful even though she was unconscious she felt everything. The seal is said to be set when one reaches the prime age between teenage and adulthood.

Orochimaru pondered about his actions, she might be the youngest person to awaken the Mangekyo thanks to his actions. But her chakra capacity was already large enough to handle the strain, she most likely passed out from shock. What's next is testing his theory about when Madara took his brother's eyes and became more powerful, but should he transplant her mother's eyes at this age? He might have to transfer bodies by the time when she's ten if that's the case, he doesn't want her to get too powerful before that happens. It's a good thing he interrogated Uchiha secrets about the Mangekyo.

So while Reiju was still unconscious he carefully removed her eyes with surgeon precision before storing them in preserving liquid. He fetched the mother's eyes, which are onyx in color like all Uchiha and went about implanting them. A quick healing palm her connected the nerves, even though he's not an expert he can use the most basic ones. Too bad Kabuto is still spying on the Leaf or he would be assisting him.

And so unknown to her, Reiju gained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, at the age of 7.

Unfortunately Reiju didn't wake up for the week while her body was adjusting to her new eyes, strangely her eyes reverted back to it's gold color, but Orochimaru had more pressing matter to deal with. That's right, his base was discovered by his wretched teammate Jiraiya. What's worse is that his sensei, the Third Hokage is present in the assault as well. He would easily be able to fend off Jiraiya or his sensei alone but with both off. He had no time to get rid of his notes, but it was a good thing he never wrote down his goals what he wanted to do with the girl or his immortality jutsu, only what he wanted them to know.

So in typical Orochimaru style, he decided to abandon ship. in this case the base and leave to fight another day. That was before he remembered his precious vessel and bolted to the room she was in only to see that her body was not there.

"Shit." Of course in his confidence that she was subservient to him he forgot about the repercussions that the Uchiha go through after losing their loved one, so her loyalty is questionable at best. He tried to sense her but it seems she was long gone, he chuckled and then laughed. It's too bad he didn't mark her yet, or she would be much easier to find. It may have been a mistake to give her the Eternal Mangekyou as even he wouldn't be able to fight back if she reaches her full potential. And the Yin-Yang seal would only activate once the user's chakra capacity reaches a certain level which is likely in her teen years or close to adulthood.

"You won this one Reiju-chan but you didn't win the war, make no mistake your body will be MINE!" He vowed to find her one day before disappearing in the ground with an Earth jutsu getting away from his annoying pursuers.

Reiju kept running, she has long since ignored the stinging of her eyes as it experienced sunlight for the first time. She didn't know how long she's been running but she knows the landscape changed at least once from the fact that the environment she's in is freezing and full of snow. She didn't even have time to enjoy the scenery and the sun on her skin for the first time in her life because she was more busy making sure she was really out of Orochimaru's range. She covered her tracks and made fake tracks along the way too, just to be safe.

She ignored the feeling of new power coursing through her and the grief she felt for losing her sister. The rage she felt against Orochimaru, she was barely awake when she heard him chuckling and saying it went all according to plan. So that's why no one answered her? Because of some twisted game he wanted to play to make her suffer. She lost all loyalty she had for him, not that she had much to begin with given her hellish childhood.

But now she was freezing cold as she shivered from the cold temperatures she never experienced before, in the underground base the temperatures never got this cold and never never too hot either. Trying to use her chakra to warm herself didn't help much at all and she's not at a level yet to warm up with fire chakra, and the clothing she had didn't suit her environment.

So here she was forced to look for shelter before she froze to death. She has a promise to keep and she intends to live to fulfill the last wishes her sister imparted to her to the best of her ability. It just so happens that she spotted an opening at the bottom of a mountain so she quickly rushed into it finding it to be a relatively large cave. There was no wind here but it was still chilly but her body took that moment to shut down as running for two days straight with her already malnourished body screamed for rest and she couldn't do anything but embrace it.

"Dammit! He got away again." A man with long white spiky hair and dressed like a kabuki actor cursed that his former teammate ran away like the snake he is. After getting rid of Orochimaru's henchman they scoured the base only to realize Orochimaru was long gone hence the reason for his cursing.

"Calm down Jiraiya, we won't be leaving empty handed." Hiruzen Sarutobi in his battle outfit gestured to the notes on Orochimaru's lab desk, they were in a laboratory room with various cylinder tanks, currently empty and other random tools one would find in a room that was used by a mad scientist.

"Yes sensei, it seems he left in a hurry and couldn't destroy or take his notes with him. Let's see if there's anything noteworthy." Inwardly he scoffed maybe he left it on purpose, Orochimaru is the type to play mind games.

They went through his notes and were shocked to say the least. Although nothing to point to other possible bases there was one consistent thing. The whereabouts of Saeko Uchiha, one of Hiruzen's best kunoichi that went missing eight years ago. The clenched their fists hard as their read through Orochimaru's entries about him raping her for scientific purposes, and experimenting on her body with Uzumaki dna which turned out to be a success. Eventually she died while giving birth to a girl he named experiment 0 nicknamed Reiju this time making them clench their teeth and all respect for him go out the window.

The entries continue on about how he treated his experiment throughout it's life and commented that the girl was loyal and detached with no drive except to train and do what he asked and is completely passive. And how she was born naturally with both Uzumaki and Uchiha dna with no side-effects. She changed when he gave her an inmate to observe emotional reactions and was surprised at how she changed over the months with the girl's influence and became like sisters. However when they reached the entry where he pushed the girl in experiments inserting Senju dna her body couldn't take it anymore so he just let her die to see how experiment 0 would react.

That's where the entries ended.

Jiraiya was angry. Scratch that, he was pissed. He never thought Orochimaru would actually go so far as to rape a woman for whatever sick purposes he had for the child. The child must have lived a hellish life under Orochimaru but he knew if she got completely loyal things wouldn't bode well for the village or the world for that matter, and the concerning thing about the girl watching her loved one die... he's heard things about what happens to Uchiha when that happens and it isn't good.

Sarutobi was also angry, but managed to calm down to think. First he abandons his student after giving her a curse mark and now this... he doesn't have anything left to say to his former student except a fist to the face next time he see's him.

"Seal everything of use into scrolls it's time to pack up and return home home." He ordered with a sigh. No doubt a lot of paperwork awaits him once he returns.

He prayed wherever the girl that is the daughter of one of his most loyal shinobi lives a better life if she managed to escape and blessed her soul if she was still with Orochimaru.

A large red creature woke up from his slumber when it felt a presence in his dwelling, curious it went to the entrance of the cave only to be surprised to see a young human girl faced down on the gold floor. Reluctant since it hasn't had much good experience with humans it couldn't help but want to help, if it were an adult he would probably just ignore but a child is another story.

The creature came into the light and carefully lifted the child in it's surprisingly humanoid hand, it's warm scales warming the child's freezing body up. The creature is revealed to be a large dragon... Yes dragon with worn red scales and scars on it's body and lizard-like face and mostly humanoid body, except for his large wings and tail. He's an old dragon...sadly the last of the dragon kind. The dragons were a summoning clan over a thousand years ago, but there were arguments where a group of dragons refused to be used by the humans while the other were accepting because of a special bond a human and a dragon can have, called Dragon Slayers. Something in today's time could be compared to the Jinchuriki but much stronger in potential.

As anyone would have guessed a war erupted until there were only a handful of dragons left even with dragon slayers helping they managed to barely win with major casualties. Sadly he was just a hatchling that time and a few dragons of his race(Fire) trained him before dying of old age when he was about 300 there was no females left, so with nothing left to do and no want to hurt the humans he settled in and lived away his life in peace in various underpopulated areas in the Elemental Nations and gaining knowledge of it's inhabitants.

With new resolve Igneel as he was named took the girl into his lair intent in helping her and finding out what happened that caused her predicament.

Reiju awoke to the feeling of extreme warmth. Much more welcome than the cold she was in before she passed out from exhaustion. The smell of food was what made her sit up and snap her eyes awake only to nearly jump out of her skin at her environment. An underground volcano? Lava is everywhere but thankfully she was on one of the many patches of land. Better yet, how did she get here? The heat was uncomfortable that her body was soaked in sweat, but she decided it was better to hide here than be found outside.

"You're finally awake, young one." A deep and powerful voice stated, the voice caused her to turn her head in it's direction and widen her eyes. It wasn't of fear but just in disbelief having never thought a dragon would be real, it was like out of a fairy tale.

"You're not afraid?" That surprised him. He is pretty intimidating yet the child didn't even fear him. Her eyes showed great pain and had a harsh life.

Then she whimpered in hunger having realized she hasn't eaten in a week.

"I realize you're hungry, here eat." He pointed from the seat he was sitting... like a normal human and grabbed a piece of some kind of meat cooking over the fire place and gave it to her.

"Thank you uhmm..." The girl didn't know the creature's name, as she assumed since it was intelligent it must have one.

"Igneel, Fire Dragon King!" He said pridefully puffing out his chest, only to see the girl was gorging herself on the meat he gave her like a hungry lion and sweat drop. It was the best meal she had since the food she was given was tasteless... where in actuality tasted like shit, but she just got used to it. Reiju decided she loved meat.

When she was finished she introduced herself. "I was called Reiju but I don't think want to keep the name..." To be honest it reminds her too much of Orochimaru and she wants a new start without anything to do with him, that and the meaning of the name isn't something she likes.

"Why is that?"

"It's a nickname for Experiment 0."

"Oh." He didn't know what to say to that, now having found out that she was a test subject for some kind of mad scientist he punched his fist in his palm, making a small shock wave.

"I'll give you a new name then, how about... Natsu!"

"Thank you mister Igneel for giving me a new name." Rei... no Natsu now thanked him by bowing but he waved it off.

"Say would you like to learn from me?" He could tell she was a good person at heart even with the pain in her eyes, there was also a fire he sensed in her and he could proudly sense her affinity to fire, and he never had an interest in teaching a human until now, that and he's getting old. He doesn't want the dragon way to go extinct once he's gone, it has to return with a bang. He grinned showing his sharp teeth at the thought.

"It would be an honor." Hesitant at first since she just met him, she could tell he didn't have evil intentions and would be much more pleasant to be around than the snake Orochimaru. After what she found out before escaping, she never intends for that snake to be near her again. She found his notes and was shocked that Orochimaru was actually her father... as if. Even if it's true he raped her mother so he's no father of hers, he made her life a living hell.

"Your training starts in one week when your body recovers. Follow me, I'll fetch you some water, you'll need it."

It turned out the lava room wasn't the only space that occupied the inside of the mountain.

With this, Natsu intends to become strong enough that Orochimaru can't touch her or anyone she befriends in the future.

A month has passed since Igneel saved her, her training has been going on for three weeks, unusual training to say the least. Igneel gave her some of his chakra which grew and made changes to her body within the week. When he explained the changes that she would undergo she was gobsmacked. Immunity to fire, dragon lungs to breath fire, and a more durable body for claw and fist attacks. It's basically a Bloodline limit for highly advanced fire manipulation together with incredible taijutsu potential, since it doesn't even need hand signs to perform.

Over the month she got to know Igneel better and Igneel the same to her. She told him her experience living as an experiment since birth and Igneel was grateful for that girl being her sister or she would be an emotionless puppet. Her loss still weighs on her conscious he can see that, but she told him she intends to fulfill the dying wish she gave her that was have her own adventure, find love, and if possible find out if fairies exists.

When he found out she was an Uchiha he was unsettled at first remembering his own encounters with the crazy clan but because she's also part Uzumaki, it likely prevented her from going insane, or she's stronger than he thought. The fact that she has her own Mangekyou from what he heard her talk about remembering black flames when blacking out is unprecedented. Her own natural fire affinity made it much easier to accept his chakra and become a Dragon Slayer. It was also nice that she wasn't arrogant like the rest of her clan.

However when he asked her to activate it he was stumped. The shape wasn't right. It's like there's two shapes intersecting, if he remembered it was only Madara who had a shape similar to that. Eternal Mangekyou! She doesn't seem to be aware so it had to be Orochimaru's doing, as she stated before she heard Orochimaru mutter things about her being his perfect vessel, meaning he wants to take over her body. It was luck whoever attacked the base did at that exact time and gave her a chance to escape.

What really shocked Igneel was when Natsu told him she never saw the sky and outside world except for the first time during the two days she was running in her escape but didn't have time because she was running for her life. This caused Igneel to take her on a ride above the clouds once she recovered much to her delight as she was able to finally get a good glimpse of the world and she savored every moment of it.

When the training started he made her promise to never use the power she gains for evil means, she gladly accepted and stored it in her list of promises to fulfill. Now on to the training...

"Karyuu no Tekken!" Followed by a section of a boulder exploding and small mass of flames when her flaming fist connected with it.

Natsu stood tall even though she was panting. It was the twentieth time using the technique, her hair was long reaching just above her back since she never cut it since first meeting her sister two years ago. She's dressed in better clothing than those rags but barely covering her modesty, not there's much to cover only being 7 years old. A top tied to cover her upper chest leaving her midriff open and white shorts, she still forewent the need for shoes not wanting to burn them. The reason for wearing so little clothes is for training reasons, so they won't catch fire. She's also no longer skinny after acquiring quite an appetite, already a lean figure was beginning to show from her training.

"Good work Natsu, you can take a break now." He was impressed with her progress, in another month she would master Iron Fist but would have to still keep practicing as she gets older then they would move on to the next techniques. Natsu's reason for her intense drive to get stronger is so she can survive and fulfill her promises bestowed upon her, and so Orochimaru can't get hold of her again.

Natsu happily accepted the break using the time to think of ways to improve her technique. Lying down on the ground in the underground volcano, the heat no longer made her sweat. The heat comforted her in ways she never thought possible.

"You mastered Iron Fist for now. Time to begin the next training."

Another month went by and Natsu mastered the first of the basic techniques after continuous repetition. She still did normal Taijutsu training for the Dragon style Taijutsu in it's beginning kata, and physical exercises. As he said the Taijutsu she learned was mediocre and she should learn his awesome style.

"Eat it." He pointed at the small fire place between them. Two months of her body going through changes her body should be completely immune to fire by now.

At first she looked at him with a deadpan but followed without complaint having come to trust the old and prideful dragon, grabbing a handful of the flames she put it in her mouth like she does with normal food. She found it surprisingly tasty.

"How do you feel?"

"Energized." She felt her chakra recover by a small amount.

"It's a special ability for dragon slayers. Consuming your element will give you a boost of power for a short time or restore your chakra, allowing you to overpower one or two techniques. A dangerous ability considering most shinobi use their chakra sparingly. Now onto the next technique, the Roar."

Igneel grinned an unspoken way of him saying he won't hold back. Natsu gulped but the steeled herself for what's to come in away her expression just says 'bring it!'.

Nine year old Natsu peacefully slept on top of Igneel as he laid down himself, something she took to doing ever since she considered him her father-figure. Something Igneel never thought would happen in his lifetime, it just happened after finishing the roar Natsu asked if she could call him dad, even though he's so ancient he could be a great-grandfather many times over.

Natsu went through training ranging from not just strengthening chakra, fire ninjutsu, hand to hand, shurikenjutsu and kunaijutsu(though much less often) but also non chakra training to strengthen her body; free running and mountain climbing and boulder carrying to increase her speed and strength. Because training without rest isn't healthy he had her pick up a few hobbies such as singing, having conversation more often to keep up her social skills and writing how her life went in a journal to keep up her education.

Igneel didn't limit training her inside the underground volcano, he flew her to different parts of the Elemental Nations, the most frequent is Turtle Island where there were lot's of large animals to spar with, Natsu somehow managed to befriend the animals there that is after beating them up. The most frequented place was the mountain that the dragon clan once called home, it's beauty on par with Mt. Myoboku.

He was proud of her accomplishments even though she already knew the basis of how to fight when he took her in, she's much stronger than before. As a result of spending time with him and her new dragon side she picked up some of his traits such as his catchphrase 'I've got a fire in my belly' and enjoyment of battle that gives a good challenge.

Unfortunately his time is coming near as his life force grew weaker, he has a year left at most and little Natsu's hardships are sadly not over yet. As much as it pains him to do it, tomorrow she would face her final trial and become a true dragon slayer.

The following morning

"You want me to what!" Natsu shouted in disbelief. Natsu is now taller than the average nine year old girl being 4'10, the only changes her body went through is that it's much leaner and trained having a slim and taut figure even going through all the intense training and her body was close to reaching puberty and her eyes are slit and has sharper canines because she completed her dragon slayer training. Her hair now flows to the middle of her back in messy waves reminiscent of Madara's hairstyle. And the addition of an orange scaled scarf around her neck, a gift from her father, her eyes make her seem years older than she actually is... her maturity from her experiences contributed to this.

"Your final trial is to kill me."

His word kept repeating over and over in her head hoping that he wasn't joking.

"But w-why?" she asked with an almost broken voice that made him wince.

"To become a true dragon slayer and gain the ability to use Dragon force at will, you have to kill a dragon. I'm old Natsu, I have at most a year left to live and I want to go down in battle. At least I'll help you become stronger before I leave this world."

"Why do you have to leave me like Meimi did? Why can't I make a precious person without them dying..."

"I know this will hurt but it's for your own good. With the power gained you'll be able to protect anything, I want you to stay strong for me. now ATTACK!"

Her life flashed before her, all the pain that was inflicted upon her, all the loneliness she had to endure, all her happiness and all her pain. The loss of her sister almost drove her to the edge now that her father wants her to kill him her emotions were jumbled. Scales appeared over her bare arms, cheeks, torso and legs. Her eyes appeared more dragon-like and canines even sharper and her hair got even wilder. The result of natural energy automatically gathering in her in just the right amount.

"Roaaaaaaaaaaaar!" She shouted... more like roared as large mass of flames surrounded her form heating up her surroundings melting nearby rocks. Entering Dragon Force from remembering her trauma's.

"Come at me!"

Natsu managed to maintained her sanity using it and looked up sadly. If he wants to die in battle she'll give him one, what happens to her afterwards is a mystery to her, she's not sure if she'll retain her sanity after this one.

Kicking off the ground she destroyed part of the ground as she rocketed towards her father. "Fire Dragon's Claw!" with a acrobatic spin she did a front flip as her right leg caught fire and performed a downward kick that was blocked by Igneel's right arm exploding in a mass of flames. Unfortunately his old scales couldn't completely withstand it and penetrated his forearm causing him to bleed.

Natsu hesitated her next attack and Igneel sent a flaming punch sending her crashing to the ground in a crater. She was barely affected thanks to being in Dragon Force except for some bruises littering her body.

"Karyuu no Hoko!" Igneel fired a breath attack that engulfed Natsu's half of the underground volcano making it shake a little.

Natsu crossed her arms to block the strong stream of flames but was still sent back several meters before she opened her mouth and consumed a large portion of it before firing her own breath attack. "Karyuu no Hoko!" Although not as large as Igneel's it was her largest to date, and was half the size of the attack he recently used. It was the first time she actually consumed Igneel's flames directly.

Igneel was about to consume it but was surprised when it suddenly changed direction going downwards and then upwards, before the end changed into a large fist slamming into his chest. The attack sent him sprawling to the ground making a dragon shaped crater, a large bleeding wound with torn scales on his chest.

'Nice trick Natsu, she managed to shape the roar into something unique.'

However when Igneel got up all he saw was Natsu flying at him at an insane speed.

"I'm sorry... Dad." She thought with tears in her eyes before engulfing herself in flames again and kicked off releasing a jet of flames from her feet. She unleashed her original technique and started spinning at a rapid pace most of the flames heat concentrated on her head using the last of her chakra in one last powerful technique.

"Karyuu no Kenkaku!" In a burst her body hits his chest struggling for a moment and then completely penetrated him before coming out on the other side. Her form now covered in a little bit of blood as the rest of it burned dry. She fell to the ground in a crash before Dragon Force finally depleted she was left panting for the first time of the use of the legendary form that is said to match the power of the dragons.

A heavy thump and small shake was felt making Natsu force herself up and rush to her father's form. He had a large hole in his chest and was bleeding profusely.

She could do nothing but cry as he's breaths were getting weaker.

"I'm proud of you... you gave me one of... the best fights of my life." Not in terms of matching him but in terms of emotion. If he were a few hundred years younger he would be able to win easily but age really caught up to him.

"Now as the... last dragon disappears... you carry the legacy... of all dragons... Find plenty of mates... Live your life to the fullest... Keep training hard... and most of all... Remember me."

Natsu passed out from exhaustion and the shock of yet another loss.

On that day Igneel the Fire Dragon King died in battle. The following day Natsu left the cave and walked intent on beginning the adventure she promised her sister while keeping her other promises in mind.

Natsu didn't think much on why his body wasn't there when she woke up, but it could be that a dragon evaporates when they die?

It's been a few days since she left the den that was her home for the past three years that resides in the Land of Iron. Her father's death still weighed heavily on her mind but she persisted to keep on going and fulfill what both her father and sister asked of her. She still didn't understand what he meant by mates, as in plural though... she'll find out one day.

She's currently walking a path in the Land of Fire towards her destination: Konoha. From the notes she read in Orochimaru's lab it was where her mother came from so she intends to go there to find out what her mother was like. Even though she doesn't know what her mother thought of her considering she was raped... repeatedly. If she could tell her mother she is nothing like that monster maybe she would accept her, going to Konoha might give her answers.

Natsu enjoyed the scenery of the trees, path, and pretty much all the animals she could see, living the way she did caused her to appreciate all the little things a normal person would dismiss as unimportant. She's also curious about sleeping on a bed(futon doesn't count it was hard) and how life in a village is. She hasn't spoken to a human in over 2 years, hell the only human she spoke most to was her sister. She's a wild girl as Igneel put it, since she grew up in the dark cell and then an underground volcano and uninhabited training areas(at least by humans) and has no experience about city life. As for food she simply hunts for it; meat, her favorite food.

Shouldering her small strap bag containing her stuff, she stopped and sniffed the air a few times with her sensitive nose gifted to her by being a dragon slayer. She decided to follow it seeing it as a way to improve her tracking skills, so running through the forest it didn't take her very long until she stumbled upon what seemed to be a bandit camp. There was an unwelcomed smell permeating the air so she decided to sneak in, which was easy considering they weren't shinobi.

Inside a tent skin slapping against skin was heard as a large burly man continued entering and exiting at a rapid pace with some blood leaking from her hole. Unfortunately he was doing someone that was only about twelve years old and desperately begging him to stop because it hurts. Because he already did a couple other women who are currently lying on their futon's with white liquid leaking from their holes it was taking long to climax.

This is the scene Natsu came to, she quickly ran into the nearest tent and through it open only to regret it seeing a large burly man hungrily humping a girl that couldn't be more than 13 that was crying helplessly as she her body was violated. Her experience with mating is limited but she understood the situation perfectly; it was wrong.

There were a few other girls and women tied up, some of them had defeated looks on their faces as white liquid flowed out of their holes likely just got done by someone else just recently. They all had pretty good looks so they were kidnapped specifically, and by the look and smell of blood they were all virgins. She turned to the man still busy and released her killing intent from the anger she felt.

Rape and rapists in general is something she's grown to despise after learning that it happened to her own mother, it's the cruelest fate a woman can experience. Being dominated by someone that's not your own mate is unforgivable in her eyes, but she remembered her vow to her father to never use her power for evil deeds but killing itself isn't evil, only if it's against the innocent and if she becomes evil herself.

The next thing the raping bandit felt was pain as Natsu punched him off the girl sending him painfully to the ground and a small figure jumping on top of him delivering a knockout punch, before Natsu twisted his neck with a sickening snap.

All eyes were filled with a little hope when one of their captives was easily beaten by a young girl.

"Stay here and keep quiet while I deal with the rest." They could only nod helplessly as the girl left the tent.

Dealing with the rest was easy as she only had to follow the stench of bandits and before anyone knew it the bandit camp was reduced to flames besides the only tent containing the rape victims, they didn't stand a chance against the fury of an angry Dragon Slayer.

The aftermath of the surviving women was not going as good as she hoped since the experience would not be forgotten any time soon if at all, especially the youngest of the captives. Natsu had a hard time getting the girl off as she was hugged repeatedly while the others thanked her before heading to their respective homes in different directions, intending on getting medicine to prevent pregnancy except for the younger girl who was luckily not released in.

Natsu felt good saving those woman and being thanked, it's a new experience but not a bad one. She was walking away from the burnt down bandit camp when she sensed a nearby presence heading towards her making her go on guard, feeling the surprisingly familiar scent to be unnerving, it felt like Orochimaru so she bolted away as quickly as she could not staying to check it was not actually Orochimaru but a young woman with purple hair.

17 year old Anko Mitarashi was surprised when the area that was supposed to be her mission was nothing but ashes and dying flames. Usually she wouldn't bother with such a low ranking mission as a C-rank but she felt like getting some fresh air from T&I and a C-rank would help her stretch her legs a bit. It would have been an easy bandit extermination mission if not for the fact she had nothing to exterminate.

What's stranger is the single child in the center of the mess walking away as if it was an every day morning warm up. She had to be the one responsible so Anko had to find out so she can have an excuse why her mission was completed by someone else before she could arrive. She tried to reach the girl but she spotted her and bolted away surprisingly fast that Anko lost track of her so she was forced to abandon the mission since it was already completed while wondering who the strange girl was.

Little did she know the girl would one day meet her, for better or worse is up to what Natsu's choices would be from now on.

Natsu ran like the wind was chasing her, flying through the trees herself occasionally boosting herself even faster shooting jets of flames from her feet. It was dangerous to go to the Leaf now, Orochimaru is probably expecting her to go there, so its safest for her to travel and not stay in one place. She needs to get stronger, and Orochimaru will meet his end and won't be able to do what he did to her to anyone else.

To do that she needs an income, but she doesn't want to attract attention just yet so she would settle with surviving off the lands. But for now she needs to haul ass out of Fire country just to make sure Orochimaru would not be able to track her.

According to her knowledge Water Country is this direction so she would head there first, what better way to start her adventure traveling the Elemental nations? She might run into fairies, you never know.

With that Natsu sped with renewed vigor pushing more chakra in her legs as she disappeared through the trees in a blur.

Elsewhere what appeared to be a feminine young boy huddled in an alley tried to keep himself warm from the cold climate of Water Country. The starved young child is actually a girl but has androgynous looks at this age so it was safe for her to hide from more unsavory individuals. With Water Country's economy as bad as it was because of the civil war, no one has the funds to take in an orphan.

After losing her mother to her own father and subsequently killing him with her unlocked bloodline, she fell into shock and just wondered the lands without purpose. She was forced to scavenge the streets for food, and even one time throwing a dog with a stone who tried to steal what she wanted to steal. She felt bad for doing it but she had no choice. It's been a year since she was forced to live like this.

Her only thoughts the how's and when's she would die when the time she finally gives up on living.

End

AN: Natsu is a unisex name, so don't be angry if you're thinking i'm stealing, it's an awesome name. Her old name Reiju is the past because she didn't want to be named by a monster. There would be much less time skips in the next chapter except for the three year training arc when everyone is 16-17(about chapter 15-20?). Sorry if the time skips annoyed anyone.

More will be explained how Natsu is handling her losses in the next chapter, I hope my writing skills brought at least some joy. I hope my story is not too cliche, anyway this is genuinely going to be my main fanfic, forget Never Ending Journey(deleted), that shit is crap. And my other fic Zorra's lost adventures. Anyone willing to adopt them is free to do so, I don't have time to manage all of them as I'm going to only be working on this one.

Oh and be warned Orochimaru as you can see is even more evil and derange in this story more surprises await next chapter. Ta Ta!
