"Fotsuka-sama! The chakra, it's leaking out! At this rate, we'll lose control! We need to get her here, now!"

"Damn, try to get a grasp on the chakra, meanwhile, Hatsurame, go summon Anari and her daughter!" Fotsuka said.

"Yes, sir!" Hatsurame and the other ANBU members said.

It was nearly midnight on a hot summer's night in Konohagakure. Five years ago, Konoha collected the chakra that belonged to the Ten-Tailed Beast. Now, it was on the verge of escaping, and so that Konoha doesn't get destroyed, we needed the Yakanara clan, who specializes in chakra control. Even if they can't control it completely, they'll at least be able to suppress it a little. Hatsurame walked up to Anari Yakanara's home.

"Don't knock, you'll wake up Guren." A voice said from behind.

"Anari, you-"

"I know, the Ten-Tails chakra's getting out of control."

"Right, you're a sensory type. We can't afford to waste anymore time. Let's go."

"Wait, I need to do something quickly."

"Anari! Do you know what will happen if the Ten-Tails chakra breaks loose?!"

"Yeah, but I absolutely have to do this." Anari walked into her house and wrote a note:

Itachi, if you are reading this, I am now dead. Please take care of Guren. I don't care what you do, just please take care of her.-Anari-

Anari put the note down. She was just about to walk out of the house when Guren woke up.

"Mommy?" She looked at the note that Anari wrote in horror.

"Guren!" Anari said in shock.

Guren started to cry. "Please, mommy, don't leave me. Daddy already died on an ANBU mission, I don't want to be alone. I don't care if Itachi-san's going to protect me, I don't to be alone!"

Anari laughed softly. "Guren, I'll be back. Wait here for Itachi."

Guren sobbed and fell on her knees as she watched her mother exit the house and into the night.

Anari stared back at Guren and started to tear up a little herself.

"Anari," Hatsurame said, "we have to go, we're running out of time."

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm coming." Anari wiped her tears and ran with Hatsurame to the science lab.

They finally got there, and Anari could see the Ten-Tails chakra going completely out of control. Anari ran inside.

"Fotsuka-sama, Anari's here." Hatsurame said.

"Hatsurame! I thought you were to bring her daughter, too!" Fotsuka yelled.

"W-well, s-she…um…" Hatsurame stuttered.

"I'll deal with you later, Anari, come on."

Anari followed after Fotsuka to the Ten-Tails chakra. It was starting to leak out of the cage, the chakra amount was unbelievable.

She went up to the cage and made the hand signs. Ram, dog, boar, horse. She clapped her hands together.

The Ten-Tail's chakra started to enter her body. When it finished, she knelt over in pain, clutching her stomach. "I-I can't control the ch-chakra..." The Ten-Tails chakra was slowly taking over her body.

Hatsurame grabbed a kunai. "I'm sorry, Anari, but we're going to have to use your daughter." He raised the kunai and stabbed Anari through the heart and watched the chakra flow back into the cage, once again trying to break out.

Back at Anari's house, Guren was still sitting on the floor, crying for her mother. "Mommy, don't leave me, too, mommy, please come-" She wiped her tears and looked up at Itachi. "Itachi-san..."

"Guren, come." Itachi said.

Guren got up and ran to Itachi and gave him a hug. He was shocked, but then he smiled. "Itachi-san, please, save mommy. She's going to sacrifice herself. I don't know what she's going to do, but I don't want to be alone!"

"Guren, let's go, we can see your mother."

"Really?!" Guren got on Itachi's back and they ran to the lab.

They got to the lab and they could hear people screaming inside. "Is mommy really in there?" Guren asked.

"Y-yeah," Itachi said. "Listen, Guren, after you see your mom, I'm going to have to leave. Just promise me this."

"What?"

"Promise me...that you'll protect Sasuke with your life."

Guren smiled a little. "Itachi-san, I'll protect Sasuke-kun with my life. Dattebayo!" Then, she laughed and ran inside.

When she got inside, she ignored all the people running around. She ignored the enormous chakra coming from the cage, all she was looking for was her mother. Then, she looked down and saw her mother laying on the floor, lifeless.

She started sobbing. "MOMMY!!!!" Then, all of a sudden the Ten-Tails chakra just started to flow into her body, she didn't even try to use the Jutsu. She clutched her stomach in pain like Anari did, and she burst into her four-tailed transformation, her skin started peeling off. Her eyes turned completely black. She thrashed about, destroying the lab. When the Ten-Tails chakra receded, everyone near her was dead.
