Yukiko's flesh was driven right through her body as the sword pierced her heart. The guards didn't have any mercy either, it would seem that Yukiko would be joining her mother as well. The one who drove his katana into Yukiko's back let her blood spill onto the ground slowly before ripping the blade out of her body. Yukiko instantly falls to her knees and then her head hits the ground hard only to have little dust cushion her fall, her body slowly spilling blood out through the puncture making a puddle of blood.

"Get these two out of here." The head guard commanded and then walked away allowing his two subordinates collect and burn Yukiko and her mother's bodies.

Jashin's Dimension...

'Am I ... dead?' Yukiko finds her mind somewhere dark, somewhere where there was no light at all, yet she could still see her own body. She looked around for any sign of where she could be. 'Is this, hell? Being alone forever? I suppose it could be worse...' Yukiko thought as she sighed in her own dark plain, void of everything.

"No ... You're not."

Yukiko instantly looks around herself when she hears a very deep voice speaking. It sounded the same as the voice from before, just before she was stabbed. "Who are you?" She calls out into the void with her eyes changing directions a lot trying to see something, in case that something was coming to attack her. She couldn't pinpoint where the voice was coming from. 'Who am I kidding.' Yukiko stops looking around randomly, she takes a deep breath and sighs. 'I'm already dead. It wouldn't matter if I'm scared or not.'

"Heh ... So you're adapting. You're learning."

"Who are you?" Yukiko asked, this time with a more stern voice. She had to keep a cool head, it was Jashinism that taught how to not fear pain or death. She was already dead so there was no more need to fear either of those things. When she gets no reply for a minute she repeats. "I asked who are you?"

"I am ... The one you call Lord."

Yukiko's eyes widened. Did her prayers for years finally get through? "You're ... Lord Jashin?" She seemed almost unbelieving, but then again, she was dead and Jashin was a god, it wasn't impossible for him to contact her at this point. Still out of all times, why did it have to be when she died?

"Yes ... I am the one. The one you call Jashin."

"How do I know that. You could be 'Death' trying to play a trick on me." Yukiko says in a doubting voice. She didn't look around anymore as she just waited for the voice to speak to her.

"I am Jashin ... The very one you pray to, whether you believe me or not. Is your choice."

"If you are Lord Jashin ... What do you want? I'm already dead, so what do you want from me? I can't do anything now that I'm dead." Yukiko mentioned with a slightly sad tone, but also angered because of her fate.

"As I said ... You're not ... This plain is my domain. I brought you here, to offer you something."

"What?" Yukiko was suddenly curious, but also a bit hasty since she was just told she wasn't really dead. 'So this is Lord Jashin's domain?'

"I want to deal judgement ... upon those who ever do wrong to my people. However ... I cannot leave this dimension. I want you ... to sacrifice the ones I will judge and send them to me. In return ... I shall give you permanent powers beyond your imagination ... the power you need ... to achieve vengeance against those who do you wrong ... and free the rest of my people. Do you accept? If so." A Jashinist diagram appears a few feet in front of Yukiko in the dark plain. "Stand in this diagram."

Yukiko ponders the deal for a moment. She sighs deeply to herself. 'I need this power, and this is Lord Jashin's offer. Even if I have a choice, Lord Jashin's choices are absolute. I must obey.' Yukiko slowly walks with serious eyes towards the diagram. She stands in the center of the triangle inscribed in a circle.

"You have made your choice."

The diagram glows purple and then a massive burst of energy erupts from the circle. "AHHH! URGHH!" Yukiko feels very intense pain as the energy from the circle enters her body. She felt as if her body was on fire and as if she was swimming in lava or acid. Yukiko just barely manages to open her eyes. 'I won't fear pain... I won't!' Yukiko feels something change, as if her pain was still there, but she wasn't taking any damage from it. 'What's?' The eruption of energy still hurt like hell, but Yukiko no longer felt the need to scream. Once the energy stops Yukiko sighs deeply. She didn't feel any more pain, but she felt power building up inside her. Power like no other.

"Sharing my power with a mortal is a painful process. Now... Go. Fulfill our agreement. However, you must be aware, even with my power. You will still require more, human allies, to free 'our' people. Keep that in mind."

"Yes Lord Jashin." Appearing behind Yukiko was a Jashinist diagram that was purple colored and looked more like it was made of energy than of blood. It seemed that just having Jashin's power ingrained into her allowed her to learn properly how to use all of them. Yukiko felt like she could burst with anticipation, to finally wreak vengeance upon those who committed sins. Yukiko's body disappears into the portal.

Auschwitz...

Time in Jashin's Dimension was different from the real world. One minute in that world seemed like one second in the real world. Only about 10 seconds passed from the time Yukiko entered the world to just now getting out.

The guard was just about to pick up Yukiko's body, it was sudden, but it was quicker than he ever imagined as a very sharp black spear is instantly driven through his heart. Yukiko had her eyes narrowed, it was her hand that held the black spear. 'This is the first step.' Yukiko pulls the spear out the man's chest spilling his red blood all over the floor. Yukiko glared long and hard at the man, the sight of his blood made Yukiko feel almost pitiful for the man, but one man's blood was never enough to repay all the blood of Jashinists that spilled over the years. The dead guard laid in a pool of red liquid as Yukiko steps through the blood, not caring how much got on her bare feet.

"Hey! How dare you wield a weapon. How are you kill a guard! Now you die!" Two more guards shouted out. They both take out large sharp swords and get ready to slit Yukiko's throat with them. The two men run to each side of Yukiko and then run up to her and drive the swords through her back and chest hitting vital spots clean through and spilling a large amount of blood on the dirt below. "That takes care of that." One the guards smirked.

"Those..." Yukiko begins to say, both guards look up in shock as Yukiko didn't die, she wasn't even fazed by that attack. "Who do not understand the pain of others." Yukiko continues to say, she was making both men tremble in fear and question of why their attack didn't work.

"What the hell? We both hit her vital spots, why isn't she dead?!" The guard said in shock.

Both guards had no time to think further as Yukiko raises her hands and then drives sharp black spears into their necks and right through their throats in the midst of the confusion. Both guards are thrown backwards and die within a few seconds, their blood spills out and creates another pool of horrifying red liquid. Yukiko walks in between their corpses with a face that showed more anger than a thousand men. Her feet were stained with the blood of three different guards and she walked forward without even flinching. 'I am the new liberator of this world. Everyone that opposes Lord Jashin, shall know true pain, suffering and hatred.'

Suddenly an alarm rings all around the camp, flashing lights spun around at the security towers. Guards soon swarmed the area, they all surrounded Yukiko. Each guard was armed with either a kunai, a katana or a large blade and on the command to charge, they all started running at her quickly closing in on them. However, Yukiko was not afraid, not of them, not anymore. "I will be back for all you, I promise." Yukiko knew fully, that even with her newfound abilities, it wasn't smart to take on so many people all at once. Backup would no doubt arrive soon as well, stronger soldiers as well. She only had so much to do before she would run out of steam, and if she was sealed away, then there would be no way to do anything. Perhaps Yukiko was underestimating her own abilities, but the smart shinobi would retreat and then strike the more decisive blow. Just a few things that Yukiko's father taught her in the case she ever did have this sort of situation.

Yukiko disappears into the same symbol portal shaped like the Jashinist Diagram, the same portal she used to transport herself from Jashin's Dimension to the real world. It would be awhile before she returns to free the other Jashinists, but she would return eventually. As Yukiko disappeared the guards swarmed the entire camp starting to look for her, the entire camp was on lockdown and Jashinists that were working were forced into their barns, which were as crowded, filthy and dense as the camp itself.

Land of Fire Outskirts...

Yukiko appears in a dense forest somewhere else in the Land of Fire. While transporting herself to and from Jashin's Dimension, she would also relocate herself to anywhere in the real world. An advanced space-time ninjutsu courtesy of Jashin. Yukiko sighs deeply as she leans against a tree and stoops down to sit down. She looks up towards the blue skies, birds chirping and some wildlife around her minding their own businesses. 'So? This is what freedom is? This is what it's like to make my own choices?' She thinks as she looks around her. There was no one to force her to work, no one to take away her food, no one to change her choices by force. 'Just you wait, mother, father. I will free the rest of our family.' Yukiko thinks as she watches the clouds drift slowly through the sky. Yukiko looks at herself, her hands and feet were stained with blood as were her clothes from the puncture that she received, she looked like a total bloody mess. If she was to move around in public, she couldn't look like a total wreck, nor wear the prison clothes that she had on presently, or else people might recognize her as an escaped convict.

A little later, when the sun had set and the only light over the land was the moon. Yukiko takes off her clothes and soaks herself in a nearby river. She carefully scrubbed herself clean of the dust that had accumulated in her hair and body as well as the blood stains on her hands and feet. She drenched her clothes in the water managing to get rid the deep color of the blood, but her gray shirt and shorts were still stained with red color in several places. Though her clothes were still wet, Yukiko wore them when she slept, she finds a safe place to sleep inside the leaves of a tree nearby the river. She was so tired after being kept prisoner for pretty much her whole entire life, but it was far from over. Freedom at last didn't erase years of imprisonment and abuse.

Konohagakure...

It was another busy day for this bustling village. The recent events had brought peace to the Five Great Nations so there was no more threat of another war. The work effort during the Fourth Shinobi War brought the nations together to fight against the threat of the Akatsuki, as a result all the villages finally agreed on a peace treaty. However what general public didn't realize was Jashinists were being used to repair the damage caused to the villages and land by the war, henceforth, oppression hadn't disappeared, they probably would have been better off being under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but of course they didn't even know the details about all that since the nations banned anyone from telling them to avoid trouble.

Arriving at the gate to Konohagakure was Yukiko. She didn't look completely horrible anymore, her silver hair wasn't so dusty anymore and the dirt on her body was washed off, but she still had no shoes and wore torn clothes, although she was credible enough to pass as a simple poor girl with no career and not a rogue escaped convict who wanted to free thousands of people held prisoner by the Five Great Nations. She had also hid her Jashinist pendant below her shirt so that no one would see it since it was a dead-giveaway that she was a Jashinist. Walking through Konohagakure Yukiko waved at some passerby villagers. She was kinda happy to see a place where people weren't treated horribly, but she also had an angered feeling because all those people could have the freedom of choice, while her people couldn't. She would have went into a clothes shop to buy some more reasonable attire, but Yukiko had no money so it was off the table. She was also getting hungry, but again, she had no money.

"Hmm?" Yukiko stops when she sees something in front of her. It was a gathering of people, though mostly girls, seemingly surrounding one person. Yukiko walks over towards the crowd to see a blond in the center speaking.

"So then Kaguya took us to some weird dimension and then... Sasuke... Obito... Kakashi-sensei." Yukiko couldn't really hear the entire speech that Naruto was giving, but she continued to stare at the man who seemed to be treated like a hero for some reason.

"Naruto you're so cool!" A girl next to him said.

"Will you go out with me?!" Another girl said, they all surrounded him with eyes as if they were looking at their future husband or something of that sort.

"Heh, not now ladies! Give me some room to breathe!" Naruto rubbed the back of his head and gave all of them a big smile and grin. He gently pushes them aside to walk out. "Sorry ladies! I'm not into dating anyone at the moment." He said trying to let them down easily.

"Awwwww..." They all said collectively.

A man walks over to Naruto and smiles at him fondly. "Naruto you've become a true hero. Let's hear it for Naruto Uzumaki! The Hero of the Hidden Leaf and the Savior of the World!" He holds Naruto's hand and raises it to the sky. The crowd all shouted cheers to Naruto. "Thanks! Thank you! I really appreciate you all y'know!" He shouted out.

Yukiko didn't speak, she didn't say anything, but she hid behind the crowd and waited for the right moment to speak with him, some who was called 'hero' and 'savior' was worth speaking to. Yukiko had only heard of the Fourth Shinobi War, but she hadn't gotten any details. Once the crowd had cleared up, Naruto signed a few autographs before waving goodbye to everyone.

'Hmm what should I do? Maybe I'll get some ramen, I hear Teuchi developed some new recipes!' Naruto thinks fondly in his head, then he gets excited for what types of new ramen he could try.

"Naruto." Yukiko says, which makes Naruto turn around to face her.

"Oh, hi there!" Naruto says to her giving her a kind smile, which Yukiko doesn't return, she only keeps a cold expression.

"Naruto, I-I." Yukiko was wondering how to word her questions so that she wouldn't give away her identity. She was also trying to act as if she's at least heard of Naruto, but in reality she had no clue who he was, except that he seemed to be a war hero. Yukiko didn't speak further for about twenty seconds before Naruto breaks the silence.

"Wait." Naruto says in a more concerned voice. He looks down at Yukiko's entire body, now that he got a closer look, Yukiko looked horrible in his standards. Even Naruto wore decent clothes in his childhood, even when he was hated by the villagers. "Um ... Are you okay? You look pretty beat up."

"I'm ... just." Yukiko didn't really know how to make up lies right on the spot, she pondered what to say.

"I think you ought to go buy some new clothes. You look like you just crawled out of a garbage can." Naruto said with a bit of a joking tone behind his voice, but Yukiko didn't react to it.

"I would, but I have no money." Yukiko stated. It wasn't a lie, she just hoped Naruto wouldn't ask why.

"No money?!" Naruto actually flinched a little there, he felt a bit sad for Yukiko. "Well, where are your parents?"

"Dead." Yukiko replied saying as little as possible. Again it wasn't a lie so Naruto couldn't accuse her of lying.

"Dead..." He felt some pity for Yukiko now, he had a soft spot in his heart for orphans, as he was one. "How were they killed? Was it the Fourth Shinobi War?"

Yukiko hadn't thought of that lie, but it seemed to work and it was believable. "Yes." She said while noting down her lies so she could keep them up if needed.

'So she's a war orphan. Maybe I should help her? She looks like she hasn't eaten or slept well either...' Naruto thinks. He doesn't even consider asking further because he knew that war orphans didn't like to talk about what happened in a war. Naruto nods to himself deciding that he would help Yukiko, he had plenty of cash as gifts for playing such a big part in the war. "Come with me, I'll buy some clothes for you! Anything you want! Promise!"

Yukiko's eyes light up that moment. "R-really?" It shouldn't be questioned, but Yukiko never had anyone offer to do something that generous for her.

"Of course! It's the least I can do!" Naruto said with a bright smile.

'He's so kind. He's like a bright blond sun.' Yukiko thinks to herself. She smiles in the first time for years, that was so long that she almost forgot how to smile. "Thank you."

"Kay! Let's go. Um..." Naruto realized that he didn't know her name.

"Yukiko. Yukiko ... Iyzebel." Yukiko instantly thinks quickly to change her last name since the entire Sensui Clan was imprisoned and they were all Jashinists as well.

"Nice to meet you Yukiko. Let's go." Naruto starts heading towards a clothes shop. "Come on." He waves his hand gesturing for her to walk with him.

Yukiko hesitates for a bit, but then nods meekly and smiles as she walks with Naruto. 'He's kinder, much kinder. He's giving me a warm feeling.' Yukiko thinks as they walk further. 'Could he be the one, can he help me accomplish my goals? I truly hope so, for the sake of my people.'
