Recap


"Whoa wait a moment!" Jiraya shouted cutting of his teacher, the scroll held close to his face. "Did you read this second portion sensei?" Hiruzen blinked at his student, he hadn't realized that there was more to the scroll, he thought it had ended there with their request for the team and their reasons behind it. "It says that the man who attached the Mizukage knew the previous container of the three tails!"

"Give me that!" Tsunade snapped as she punched Jiraya away from the scroll and slammed said scroll onto the desk.

"My word," Hiruzen mumbled with wide eyes.

'...The man continued onto say: "Your village decided to use Rin to destroy the (he said 'village' but I think he meant the 'hidden leaf village') But when that failed you extracted the Sanbi from her and killed her!"

Is it passable that the previous container for the Sanbi had an Uchiha clan member as a teammate Or maybe someone who was close to her and stole the Sharingan from a previously deceased Uchiha?

Please send us aid, we do not know how long Lord Mizukage-sama will lay unconscious and in pain...'

"Bloody hell!" Tsunade groaned as she rubbed at her temple. "Kakashi's going to throw a fit!"

"Why am I going to throw a fit?"


End Recap


He split another bolder in half as he raced through his self-made training ground. He had been so close to finding her but then the damn operation went south when they kidnapped some rich brat instead of the lower cost children like he ordered them to. Of course, those idiots just had to kidnap children from the five elemental villages! They couldn't keep to the less risky children; no they thought they were doing so well that they could expand the operation!

Those idiots! He hissed as he thrust his sword out and let it slice through another tree cleanly. The fools had chosen some rarities, sure, but none of them were old enough to be the child he was looking for. Then again he didn't exactly look at all of the girls they kidnapped from across the nations, just the brunets, but that was beside the point. Rin was a brunet with warm brown eyes... and purple tattoos on her cheeks...

Rin was always self-conscience about her looks, He slowed in his movements, his thoughts drifting back to the girl he loved most in the world. She always did hate her clan markings... and her wide forehead... maybe she had all that fixed with her rebirth?

He paused as the thought bounced in his head; he slowly lowered his arm and turned to examine the damage done to the training grounds. If she had removed her clan tattoos, what else was removed? What else was different about her? Where they just physical changes or did she change parts of her heart as well?

No, there was very little that she didn't like about herself. He sighed heavily as he walked to the edge of the training grounds, where a small stream passed in and out of the grounds. She's more likely to change her physical looks to match something that she likes... that's if she changed herself at all.

Blinking dumbly, he stared at the flowing surface of the small stream. Upon it's surface, floating like candles, was an assortment of beautiful flowers; each different in their looks and coloring. Catching sight of something bright pink, he stepped forward on the surface of the water. Stooping lowly, he scooped up the small floating branch and held it up to the light.

Rin chan liked cheery blossoms, he thought as he watched the sunlight filter through the petals of the spring flower. They were her favorite flowers and, ironically, her favorite color.


"You need to calm down," a deep baritone voice sounded, making the surface of the water ripple.

"How the hell can I be calm?!" He shouted, rounding on the turtle shimmering just beneath his footsteps. "I left the council in charge! That was incredibly stupid of me! They're bound to kill me and reseal you! I'm still unstable in their eyes!"

"Please have more faith in your people Mizukage-sama," Yagura blinked dumbly down at the three tailed demon, he had heard the giant turtle mimic various voices before, but that was pitch perfect. That wasn't the demon turtle mocking someone from his village.

"Who's there?!" Yagura shouted as he snapped around, only to see that there wasn't anyone there.

"Please allow me entrance Mizuka—" it was the voice of a soft spoken woman

"Don't listen to her!" the Sanbi suddenly roared out, his voice making the surface of the water ripple. "That's the seal! That damned man's seal is activating!"

"Can you do anything about it?" Yagura asked taking a step back hesitantly, his eyes swiveling to look around himself desperately.

"I can make it difficult for anyone to enter our mind but that might hinder the help you requested... but..." the three tails sunk into the depths of the ocean, leaving only his glowing crimson eye visible.

"Mizukage-sama, please—" the female voice sounded, but Yagura didn't pay it any mind, choosing to ignore the voice in favor of attempting to escape it.

"But?" Yagura asked, lowing into a battle stance, not sure how he should combat a voice.

"But I might be able to take you to a safe place... but I don't know how long you'll be able to stay there... or if I'll be able to get you there..."

"Mizukage-sama you shouldn't be listening to the demon," the woman half-heartedly scolded.

"Whatever it takes! Just make her go away!" Yagura never did admit just how much he truly trusted the Sanbi. It was quiet as the Sanbi sank lower into the water, until there was nothing but a faint glow from his eye. Yagura hissed as the clear blue sky above him darkened with the beginnings of a storm, the waters beneath him rippled and swayed until they threatened to rear up and consume him whole. Before the first wave could do just that, the water surrounding Yagura roared up and protected him; surrounding him in a near perfect bubble as the Sanbi wrapped a protective tail around him and dragged him deep beneath the surface of the great ocean.

"Sanbi?" Yagura called curiously, what was happening? He never had this happen before, the Sanbi had helped him before but he had never really protected him like this before. "What are you—"

"Be still Yagura," the Sanbi said, cutting off the violet-eyed boy as he swam deeper and deeper into the ocean. "We'll be at the gate soon."

"Gate?" Yagura questioned with a frown. "What are you talking abou—"

"Yagura," Sanbi called softly, his voice just barely loud enough to reach the young man within the bubble held by one of his tails. "I ask you Yagura-no- I beg of you, please remember your manners." Yagura was quiet as the demon spoke, his eyes widening at the words spoken to him. "She will be kind if you are, so please Yagura, remember your manners." Yagura didn't get a chance to reply as he spotted a bright violet light far below them, even further away then the face of the Sanbi was from him.

"We are at the gates," the Sanbi said softly, stilling in the deep dark waters, "Child, are you there?"

"Sanbi-san?" a soft musical voice called softly from the violet colored light, "I am here Sanbi-san. Is it time?"

"Yes child it is time." Sanbi said softly, before Yagura could say or do anything the Sanbi moved. Yagura grunted as he collided with the wall of the bubble, he felt his face begin to flatten as the Sanbi spun around and around so fast that the world was beginning to blur around him. As much as he tried not to, Yagura couldn't stop the scream that tore itself to freedom when the Sanbi released him and he was sent spiraling out of control towards the violet light.

"It's alright," the strange voice sounded to him, though he could barely hear it over his own startled scream. "I'll catch you, just believe in me."

Who the hell can catch this bullet? Yagura thought sarcastically as his bubble entered the violet light. A soft chuckle answered him and Yagura found himself reopening his eyes (when did he close them?) to find himself standing in a place like his mind scrape but with no up or down and was completely made in the pastel shades of violet, amber, pink and green. Odd colors for a mindscape, other wise, it wasn't nearly as strange as the small girl standing in front of him.

"Hello," the girl smiled at him, calm and gentle like a loving and affectionate older sister. "My name is Rin Nohara. I will protect you from the man that is trying to destroy you." Yagura blinked, his eyes widening in recognition—that was all he could do before he fainted, dead in the girl's arms.

"I will protect you," Rin whispered as she set the boy on the ground gently, "Just as I protect the Sanbi."
