Deidara's POV
After long weeks of boredom in Iwagakure, I'm finally given a mission. Four ninjas, at separate times, have gone into the woods, but none returned. Something or someone is attacking people in the woods and it's my mission to investigate the threat. Some Jounin they are, letting their guard down enough to disappear in the woods. They make fun of me for the 'girlie' blonde hair that falls over my left eye and down to the middle of my shoulder blades. I'm only eleven and I'm a better Jounin then those fools, un.
Before long, I enter into the woods, only needing to walk a couple minutes for a bloody clearing to come into view. It's both splattered on surrounding trees as well as left in large puddles. Almost every inch of ground is covered in a thick layer of blood. Four bodies are mangled to the point I'm barely able to recognize them, but it is the four Jounin that went missing. The cause of death seems to be two large puncture wounds going straight through their necks. Flesh has been torn off their bones after dying and then dragged to this spot, judging by the streaks in the bloody floor.
Loud, speeding footsteps reach my ears. I spin around, my long blonde hair whipping in my face as I get ready to fight, Explosion Release kekkei genkai and all. A beast pounces into the clearing, leaving the cover of the trees. The creature only comes up to my waist, though it is about as long as I am tall. On further inspection, I realize the sand-coated creature is unmistakably a saber-tooth tiger, obvious from the canine teeth jutting out past its jaw. The most eye-catching features are the ten tails thrashing behind it and the suffocating amount of chakra only a biju can contain. The Juubi. This makes no sense; the Juubi was split into the nine tailed beast and its physical body encased in rock and hurled to the heavens, creating the moon. It shouldn't still be around, un.
Well, whatever the reasons and stories, it has to be taken care of. Even at its weakened state it still causes harm, proven by the fact that it killed four Jounin. I can't take the risk of fighting it; the other four weren't even able to land a scratch. I guess I'll have to use it now. Forming hand seals, a puff of smoke leaves my hand occupied by a scroll, stolen from the village's ancient archives.
Grabbing the edge to open the scroll, I throw the scroll at the beast, letting it unravel in the air. The Ten-Tails catches it in its mouth, watching me with glaring eyes as well as curiosity. I push chakra into the part of the scroll I'm still holding, activating the forbidden jutsu. The jutsu allows the user to change the form of another being, but of course, it's forbidden for a reason. The scroll must be connected by touch between the user and their target. The user then sends chakra through the scroll to morph the other. Harm comes to the user in form of mutations. Whatever the scroll is touching on the target, morphs with the release point of the user's chakra and the center of their chakra network. This forbidden jutsu both harms the user and tampers with nature.
My hands and chest feel like they're being torn apart and lit on fire. Blinding my eyes is fiery white pain. When the pain finally subsides, my vision clears. Where the beast once stood is a tiny, blonde baby girl, wrapped in orange chakra. Taking my hands from the scroll, I cautiously walk to the vulnerable figure. Even though it's a baby, it was a killing beast.
Looking her over, I kneel down. Its eyes are shut and breathing even. That is, until the screaming starts. She wails, casting the noise over the trees. No, no, no. Don't cry. Please, just be quite, un.
Covering her mouth, I recoil at the taste in my hand. Wait…taste…in my…hand? Alarmed, I slowly turn my hands palm up. In the middle of each hand is a mouth. Because the scroll was touching the Juubi's mouth, my release point (my hands), and the center of my chakra network were…morphed. I yank my shirt over my head to reveal a mouth covering the left side of my chest. Maybe, I can use this to my advantage. I won't need water to make my clay sculptures, the beautiful art I create, though it never seems complete, un. I might be able to use my kekkei genkai with it to make my art more of a bang. That should make it complete. True art is an explosion, un.
Pulling the shirt back onto my torso, I try and think of what to do. A baby girl lays on the Earth, glaring up at me in protective, orange chakra. I can't just leave a baby, a tailed beast baby, in the wilderness. That just doesn't seem right. With that, I cradle the baby in my arms, finally getting a good look at her. She's adorable. Her skin is a light tan, similar to her saber-tooth coat. Shining blue eyes show the hurt the poor beast has gone through. She's been attacked, forgotten, and ridiculed. She peaks up at me through unruly blonde hair. A small smile graces her beautiful face as she swipes at my bangs that are hanging over her face, just like a cat would. Her tiny saber teeth poke just past the others, but aren't nearly as obvious as they were. Such a beautiful, smiling child needs a name. I might as well pick a name befitting for her qualities. Speaking softly to the bundle in my arms, I smile. "Emiko, un. A smiling child, graced with beauty. Perfect isn't it? Emiko, my little saber tooth. Emiko Kyoshi, un."
She looks at me with grateful eyes, as if she understands. I'm guessing she probably does. Emiko is just her human form; she's still the Juubi that's been around for forever. She giggles as my hair tickles her face. The beast only attacks because it feels threatened. People have only hurt her. She probably doesn't trust anyone, now. Since I wasn't trying to hurt her, she started to open up a tiny bit. Everyone deserves some affection. No one wants to be alone.
The threat is taken care of and I found a… random baby in the woods that was about to be attacked. Yeah, that's a good enough story to get her into the village without turning heads. I'll take care of her, no matter what because I know people use the beasts for power and war. She might end up being a burden, but I started the mess with a forbidden jutsu. I have to own up to my actions.
