Here's chapter three of this series of jinchuuriki drabbles. This one stars Yagura, the three-tail jinchuuriki and the previous Mizukage. Enjoy.

Genre: General

Stars: Yagura

Word Count: 660

Age: I'm really not sure. He's looks really young but he could be pretty old. Let's just go with him looking like he does now.


Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would know how old Yagura is.


Yagura let out a deep sigh; he was so bored. There was nothing to excite him. He stared up at the sky, or at least attempted to. Living in Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist, meant that you rarely got an actual view of something.

He closed his eyes, placing his arms behind his head. The ground was comfortable. Would it be so bad if he just took a nap?

Yagura's hand shot up and to catch whatever was about to hit him. Opening one light purple eye, Yagura stared at the shuriken in his hand. He shook his head before throwing it away and closing both eyes again. He silently prayed that his attacker would leave him alone. He knew that was not the case when he heard footsteps coming towards him.

Yagura sighed softly, "If that's all you have, please go away." He opened his eyes before directing his gaze to the young man who looked terrified at the sight of him. Yagura didn't seem to care for that fear. Why should he? He saw it all too often "You don't want to fight me. So just go on and live as happy a life as you can." He closed his eyes again.

The man shook for a moment before bringing out a sword. He glared at Yagura. "Happy? My life can never be happy thanks to you!" He ran to Yagura, screaming, "A monster like you deserves to die!"

Yagura didn't even flinch as the man went to pierce Yagura's heart. Yagura held up his hand and the sword went right through. The man grinned until he realized that he couldn't pull his blade out.

Opening his eyes again, Yagura looked at the man. "What do you hope to accomplish by killing me?"

The man continued to try and pull out his blade. Yagura just stared at him before he sat up. The man gasped before backing away, leaving his sword in the process. Yagura grabbed the blade and pulled it out of his hand. The man watched in horror as the gash in Yagura's hand healed completely. Yagura tossed the sword to the man who looked at it suspiciously.

"Have I done something wrong to you personally…" The man looked up at Yagura who had grabbed his staff. "…or do you just hate the idea of a jinchuuriki becoming the next Mizukage?"

The man's eyes burned with hatred. He grabbed his sword and pointed it at Yagura. "You want to know what you did?" Yagura merely nodded which infuriated the man further. "When you became your true form, that disgusting kappa, you slaughtered my family! There is no way I'll let a monster like you become our leader!"

Yagura just sat on the ground with an unreadable expression. He sighed before using his staff to get to his feet. He appeared to be muttering to himself, "You always did something stupid. I'm so bored with it."

"Bored? I'll end your boredom here and now!"

Yagura looked at his opponent before getting into a fighting stance.

"If you are so determined to die, I have no qualms in killing you."

The man laughed madly then charged at Yagura. "Let's see you try, demon bastard!" he screamed.

Before he knew what happened, the pointed end of Yagura's staff had pierced through the man's head. Yagura looked at the man and sighed with satisfaction. It was a quick and painless death, just like usual.

Pulling his staff out of the man's head, Yagura watched as the man fell to the ground with a thud. He placed his staff on his back before throwing the man over his shoulder and walking off. He had to have another grave created.

His life was just the same old, same old. Nothing new or exciting ever happened. That's why he didn't get emotional because he knew what would happen. It always happened and it would continue to happen.

'My life…is so monotonous.'


There we have it. I kind of like this one for some reason. I don't know why. I would have liked it more if I actually knew how old he was. Oh, well. Please let me know what you thought. Remember: three reviews gives you a new chapter; the next one will star Roushi.
