Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would definitely make more female villains. You see I make this story in unsatisfactory upon the lack of female villains there are in the Naruto world. But anymore said would be a spoiler, so, without further ado, please enjoy and review.
Chapter 1
It felt like forever until I opened my eyes again for the first time. It was dark, and I was standing, inside of what seemed like my own coffin. My body felt as fit as it was back in my early thirties, not to mention the unlimited amount of chakra flowing inside of it. Then I began to see light, through the gap in front of me that slowly enlarged as the cover to the coffin being moved to the side. Finally, after it was opened enough for my body to slide through, I stepped out, only to find that I wasn't the only one experiencing this. There were a lot of coffins standing in circle. I looked around, hoping to see any familiar face. But sadly, there was none.
'So this is what it feels like to be an Edo Tensei,' I thought to myself as I stared down at my own body. A smile slowly formed on my lips at the view. I was wearing a long dark blue dress that showed half of my cleavage. The dress had long sleeves, too, so I had to lift my hand a little to take a look at it. Seemed like my skin cracked in some places. Was this the work of Obito? Had he finally collected all the tailed beasts? If he did, he could just revive Madara alone, instead of an army of dead people. So I guessed he needed help collecting the rest of them. Could it be the Kyuubi? It's the strongest, after all.
"And Hachibi," a guy next to me answered. Oops, I didn't say everything out loud, did I? Even if I did, he couldn't have the answer to that already. I watched him stepping out of his coffin for the first time. Then this must be the user talking. The user of this Edo Tensei no Jutsu.
"Obito?" I guessed.
"No, my name is Kabuto Yakushi." Well then, I guessed wrong. "Obito," he explained, "along with Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi and Rokubi, is now on his way to get Hachibi and Kyuubi."
Oh, wow. With that kind of army... that kid sure would win. I just couldn't wait to see him again! Yes, it was Madara who took care of him. But it was me who found him under that giant rock.
What caught my attention in the first place was the fact that the clothes he was wearing at that time had the Uchiha clan symbol on the back. So I quickly removed the giant rock that crushed half of his body using my kamui. He was badly injured. Well, what did I expect. My curiosity was what made me finally kneel next to his body, before gently opening both of his eyelids. I was surprised and disappointed at the same time.
I was surprised that he was able to awaken his sharingan at such a young age. But I was also disappointed when I noticed that one of his eyes was gone. I was unsure of what to do, whether to keep and take care of him, or just steal his remaining eye and leave him to death. So I decided to bring him to Madara. He would know what to do.
And so he did.
We decided to reconstruct half of his body using Hashirama's Artificial Body, while secretly placing cursed seals in his heart to restraint certain acts, such as committing suicide. However, he didn't sound pleased at all the first time I brought his body to underground Mountains' Graveyard. He sounded like a father whose daughter had just brought a dirty pig home for a pet. The memory amused me a little bit.
With the helpless little boy's body in hands, I walked through the tunnel all the way back to underground Mountains' Graveyard. To my brother, Madara Uchiha. Spiral Zetsu got his turn serving dinner that day. I was welcomed with a bunch of menus I would possibly like, but of course, I wasn't really paying attention. I walked straight to the great hall, in where placed that royal chair my brother could sit on all day. Sometimes it indeed felt like living in our own palace. In a kingdom of isolation. With Madara as the King, and I, myself, as the Queen. And an army of Zetsus.
After laying the young Uchiha's body down, I was making a bed by simply raising the ground beneath him using earth release when I heard footsteps approaching me from behind.
"How was the tunnel?" a cold, deep voice behind me asked.
Knowing full well just whom the voice belonged to, I didn't even bother to turn around as I answered, "It works well." Before adding, "And by the way, I brought company."
I stepped aside to give him a better view of the injured little boy laying on the soil bed before him. His face hardened a little, but his expression didn't change. "Whyβ"
"His clothes," I quickly cut him off.
He eyed the boy carefully.
After a couple of seconds, he sighed. Seemed like he found what I was talking about. But I knew he was expecting more. "So...?" he asked again, with voice sounded like he was trying to control himself from yelling angrily at me, but his expression still didn't change.
"He's an Uchiha." Duh, wasn't it obvious. Madara was too old his brain might have been damaged. Ha, ha.
"I am aware, Irina, but whyβ" this time it wasn't me cutting his sentence off. He stopped himself, after realization mentally hit him by the head, to do the exact thing I did after removing the giant rock off his body and kneeled next to the boy. He gently opened the boy's eyelids, and that was when, his expression finally changed for the first time. "Interesting," was all he could comment about the view before him. But coming from Madara Uchiha's mouth, that was enough. And that was also enough, as the beginning, of everything.
Speaking of Madara, "Where is my brother?" I asked Kabuto, since it seemed like Obito had all the help he needed already.
"He's fighting the five kages somewhere in Suna," he answered. A chuckle escaped from his lips before continuing. "Your brother is a really strong card in this game." With no doubt. I meant, while as human Obito had to gather all six tailed beasts just to defeat hachibi and kyuubi, as an Edo Tensei, Madara could obviously defeat the five kages easily alone. Hell, there should be nothing he couldn't do right now. But wait a second. The five kages, he said? Sounded like a war was going on here... I was thinking out loud, until Kabuto's next line boiled my blood. Smirking, he stared at me as he said. "I wonder if you can be just as useful as him." That was when I knew something was up in his mind.
I snorted. This must be his way to light up my spirit. Because all my life, I had always been compared to my twin brother, Izuna. They wondered if I could awaken my sharingan in the same age as he was. If I could survive the Uchiha-Senju war as long as he did. If I was loved by Madara as much as he was. If I was as useful as he was. Now that he wanted to compare me with Madara, too, "Oh I will be useful alright. Now hand me my gunbai," I ordered.
A white Zetsu appeared from beneath the ground with my gunbai in hands. They used to have one hand only. This really made me happy. Quickly forgetting the fact that I was annoyed by the last thing Kabuto said, I eyed the white Zetsu with the similar face Obito made everytime I gave him candies. Finally someone I knew! Slowly, I took my gunbai before running towards him to give him a tight, warm hug. Burying my face into his cold chest, he laughed while ruffling my hair.
"Was Irina looking for it? Tobi told me to give it to Irina," he said as he let me go.
"Yes, yes, Shiro." Shiro Zetsu, that was what we called him. "Now where is Guruguru?"
It was Spiral Zetsu's turn to appear from beneath the ground. I was more than glad to see them both again. "Was Irina looking for me?" he asked.
I nodded. "Do you know where Madara is?"
He raised his right index finger. "Yes, Irina, he isβ"
"Take me there, quick," I cut him off. The both of them stared at each other for a while in confusion, until I repeated myself, louder this time. "Take me there, Guruguru."
He nodded.
Without anymore question, he swiftly crawled down to my feet, softening his own body doing so. It felt funny when his mushy body crept up under my dress and covered my own. Like wearing a full body suit under your dress. Now that everything but my right eye was covered by Spiral Zetsu, I was ready to go. I gave him one last nod as signal, and the three of us disappeared immediately underground.
Author's Note: Short chapter, sorry. Let's just say this is the prologue. Title and summary plain suck, too. I've got exams to catch up this week since I was sick last week when I was supposed to take it, so, I kind of finished it hurriedly. I will fix things later. The more the reviews the faster I work, lel. Hopefully it's as soon as possible~
