Chapter 3

7 Months after Rin's capture

After 7 months of planning the Tsuchikage was ready to move and excute his plan. He learned from the captured Konoha nin that Kushina Uzumaki, the Yondaime Hokage's wife was indeed having a child. His plan was to kidnap it, and take possible bloodlines and prestige from Konoha. His main problem was that he could not get caught or his village would face major drawbacks and punishments on a global scale. He knew that he was taking a major risk, but he could not overlook this blessed opportunity. The truth was, he was getting desperate and Iwa was in a vulnerable position in comparison to the other ninja villages.

To validate the information given by Rin, he contacted his spies in Konoha to verify that Kushina was pregnant. It took over a month of digging, but he eventually found out it was true and that Rin really did hate the Namikaze. After the first month's findings and staying under the radar of Konoha, Onoki planned and assembled a squad he could trust for this important mission.

'What a shame,' thought Onoki, 'I wonder where that lunatic Deidara is hmm... I really wish that he didn't try to kill me, he could have been helpful and perfect for this mission.' After calling for one of his ANBU hidden near his office, he told her "Bring me Hyena, Owl, Cougar, and Squirrel."

After ten minutes each ninja called was standing before the Tsuchikage.

"I have an important mission for you four. It cannot fail and be traced back to us. This is S-class, and has the potential to last around 3-4 months. If you are captured or killed, I will claim no involvement whatsoever, do you understand? Any questions?"

The reply was silence until Hyena stepped up. "What is the mission sir?" Onoki looked at his shinobi closely and carefully. He could afford no mistakes. Finally he said, "Your mission will take place in Konoha. You are to contact our spy Shikuro Aburame who will help you find Kushina Uzumaki. She is pregnant with child. Your objective is to kidnap her child without getting caught or traced back to here. She will most definitely be under heavy and tight security. Do not engage Konoha nin unless left with no choice. This mission will last up until 4 months, if you have no chance at getting your objective return home immediately. Your target must remain undamaged. You four are the best in my ANBU, and the top brass in Iwa. Failure of that last request will not be pretty do you understand? Any questions?"

"No sir," spoke all four shinobi.

"Hyena as ANBU captain you are the lead, if you face trouble use your summons to reach me. Cougar stay, the rest are dismissed, prepare to leave at dawn," ordered Onoki.

As Hyena, Squirrel, and Owl leave through Shunshin, Cougar stays, "How may I serve you Tsuchikage?" Onoki looked at the young ANBU, "Cougar you will have an additional mission after the first mission is complete. I know that you are facing an illness that cannot be treated here. You won't like what I want you to do, but this will give you the opportunity to get healed if you play your cards right. I want you to stay in Konoha and run counter-intelligence for me. Clean up any mess involved with the first mission and return no later than 5 months after the kidnaping takes place. Use you summons to keep me updated, and since that village of nobodies actually has a good hospital and possible cure for you, try to get yourself healed. That is why I'm giving you 5 months instead of the usual 3 for counter-intelligence. Clear?" spoke Onoki.

"Yes sir, thank you and I will do as asked."

"Good, I look forward to your return Cougar, or should I say Tori?"

After Tori, left the office Onoki sat and pondered his next course of action. With directions given out for the mission, he was now stuck with what to do with Rin. For a whole hour he debated on how he would deal with her. He decided to go see her and figure out everything else after that.

Since Rin's confessions of truth to the Tsuchikage, she had been moved up to more pleasurable conditions in the prison. She was given food 3 times a day now, and she was also given a cot and pillow. Onoki decided she would be beneficial for the future so he eased up on her treatment. She now wore seals on her hands that stopped her from doing hand seals, but she still had full range of her chakra as at first she had her chakra sealed. As he made his way into the prison it was the first time in 2 months he had spoke to the woman.


As the doors to the prison cell of Rin Inuzuka opened up, Onoki stepped in soundlessly and observed the reactions across her face. The girl looked startled to see the Kage standing before her.

"Tsuchikage I did not really expect to see you again," she said.

For his part Onoki simply stood in silence before her, as she talked to him. He noticed that she had gotten more color to her since she had been moved in better conditions. Rin was a fairly average sized girl at 5'4'', easily taller than him. She had dark burgundy hair that travelled down to her shoulders and a light tan to her skin. The area around her forehead was lighter than the rest of her skin since she didn't have her forehead protector anymore. She had bright brown eyes and two purple diagonally positioned rectangles on her face. She was dressed in a black long-sleeved top, and some standard brown pants. Everything was boring plain about her appearance wise.

With a stern expression on his face Onoki took a seat on the chair by the door. "Rin I have thought about what I want to do with you. As you can probably guess, my village is facing hard times and unfortunately to not appear weak I have put every able shinobi retired or currently serving back into active duty. We have spoken before but not about your fate. I want you to become a shinobi of mine, but I don't know if I will have your complete trust and faith."

Rin sat in silence before replying, "Yes it is true that I do still hold some resentment toward your village for taking away my teammate Obito, but I realize that it was just a byproduct of the war." Onoki just watched her as she spoke. "Despite what my old teammate Kakashi may believe, I really have only liked 2 men in my life. I simply wore a mask over him when I was young making Kakashi believe I loved him when I really had a crush on Obito. I wish he was still living but war can consume anyone."

"True enough," Onoki interjected, "and as I already know Namikaze was your other crush," he said in a questioning yet cautious manner.

"Yes he was. I really did love my sensei, more than anyone could have imagined. Right after Obito died, we both sort of were lifelines to each other and consoled in one another. I missed Obito, and he at the time regretted all the lives he was taking in the war. It was toward the end of the war that me and him had a particular long talk. He and I both were crying towards the end of it, and somehow we ended up sleeping together and I told him that I loved him. I was foolish now that I look back on it. I secretly wanted to be with him at all times, but as his student it wasn't right. Those were his words to me and furthermore he loved Kushina, even tho they were a on-again off-again couple. The day after we sleep together Kushina came back from her mission and he was also announced as Hokage. I remember and held on to that night we had, but he seemed to imagine it never happened."

"The next week I was feeling sick every morning, and my clan with their noses could smell his scent on me more than the usual. It didn't take long to for them to jump to conclusions that I somehow seduced the Yondaime, which wasn't true, but who in the clan was to believe the clan pariah? To not tarnish their reputation I was banished from the clan and now homeless. Minato was too busy with his new duties to help me and Kushina seemed to be getting closer and closer with him again. Soon they were engaged and I was ignored. "

"During what seemed the third week of my pregnancy I was attacked. Even to this day I don't remember it all," she whispered. With a pause and tears in her eyes she continued, "they drugged me and attempted to kill me. This was in my own village. One of the few memories I have was seeing a Konoha headband as part of the attackers and I'm pretty sure I saw one of my old clan members but I wasn't completely sure of that. I lost the child while laying on my deathbed," she sobbed. "It was only by using medical ninjutsu when I came to that I somehow survived. But with hardly any memories of the event no one believed me, and even Minato didn't see my case or believe my story. After the war with nowhere to go I tried to join the ANBU, but he denied me. "

"Somehow though I was beginning to be sent on suicide missions. It was subtle at first but then it became more and more apparent. Then I found out that Kushina was pregnant with his child. I walked into his office one day for a mission and she was standing in there with him. I believe she knew how I felt about him, because she shoved it in my face that she was pregnant. Then in a daring act she suggested I take her place in a secret mission to Iwa. He agreed with her, and that is how I ended up sent into your country. I was tired of how I was treated and I hated him. He ignored me and destroyed my dream. I wanted and wished to be the mother of his child, but that was stripped of me," she cried out. "He didn't care, no one cared, and that village betrayed me and discarded me like I was nothing." With a determined look on her face, Rin stood up before Onoki, "I will gladly help you destroy Konoha if you need me, Tsuchikage!"

For his part the Tsuchikage, stayed silent for a while. He had the answers to his fears. His old bones creaked as he stood up to leave. "Rin you will become a shinobi of Iwa, but a few precautions will be made. First your last name will change. It will be Yamashita now. Also one of our premier medics will get rid of your tattoos and permanently change your hair color. You will begin work in the hospital. Help us grow in that field."

As he walked out the door to the prison cell he left Rin one last parting message. "Also I will help you with your dream if you still desire to be that mother."

As she looked at his retreating form, her eyes welled up with tears.

Onoki's voice bounced off the walls of the prison, "Raise him to be the Strength of Iwa!"
