Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I have nothing to do with its ownership.
A/N: So sorry guys, I know it has been a long time since the last update. But I have been busy with my college and home problems. Anyway, here is the new chapter, hope you enjoy!
A/N 2:- Let's see, I'll make the basic powers of the Dojutsu known.
Bykugan: 359 degree vision, can see chakra network and flow of chakra (advanced users), clarity in vision, can zoom in on target (advanced users).
-Activates when user forces chakra to their eyes. Every Hyuga by blood has been able to activate the Dojutsu.
Descended from ?
Sharingan (three tomoes): sharp vision (can see clearly in a longer range.), motion prediction, eidetic memory (when it's active)
- Activates due to battle stress (life threatening situations).
===Descended from a demon.
Mangekyo Sharingan: everything that Sharingan can do, just on a higher level, and 3 attacks 1st is Tsukuyomi; 2nd is Ameterasu and the last is Susanoo. Then there is blindness due to its use. {Powers can be slightly different for each user, but their basic will be same.}
- Activates due to feeling of remorse, emptiness, and strong feeling of loss.
Advanced Mangekyo Sharingan: Cured the blindness. New power – Kamui
- I'll leave you with one clue; changing a Mangekyo eye with other Mangekyo only negates the blindness, doesn't make it EMS.
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (EMS): Obviously all the powers that Advanced Mangekyo has. Not yet decided on what else I can add. I have decided to make it powerful enough to stand in league of Rinnegan and Tamashogan. And yes, there are changes to it that are going to be awesome!
- Abilities other than Mangekyo ?
- awakens when enlightened by madness.
Rinnegan starter: well, let's see. Ability to learn all elements. Passive ability to understand things easily (for example, a Sharingan can copy, but gives no understanding of inner workings of jutsus, while Rinnegan gives understanding and makes it easier to master jutsus).
- Activates due to bearing constant pain.
===Descended from ?
Rinnegan intermediate: Rinnegan starter plus control over gravity, increased ability to learn faster and understand better…
Rinnegan final: Six paths of pain, connection with life and death, understanding increased even further.
- awakens when enlightened by pain.
Shakugan: minor predictive abilities, can see chakra network, understanding (less potent than Rinnegan).
- Activates with feelings of betrayal.
===Descended from an Angle.
Tamashogan: What Shakugan can do but on a higher level (the predictive ability is inferior to MS), can see souls, can see how both spiritual and physical energies are molded together to form chakra when people use jutsu. These are only the abilities that I have decided. I might add things later.
- Activates due to fostering hate till you completely loose into it.
Tamashogan final: Can revive (T&C apply). Hehe couldn't help that.
- awakens when enlightened by rage.
Also, these things will be updated as I find something interesting to add to them.

Chapter: 14
Naruto stifled a yawn as he awoke from his sleep. It had been two weeks since he came in the rebel camp. Mei had started training Nina. The first thing Mei checked was Nina's chakra affinity. It resulted as he had hoped. She had water, earth, and fire. He had to guess that it awakened when faced with constant chakra laced mist in Kiri, or when they came in contact with an active user of the bloodline i.e. Mei.
He was impressed with the busty kage's use of the bloodlines. She was able to use both her bloodlines very effectively and effortlessly. She had even created a new type, poison release. She was able to release poisonous mist that was acidic and ate away at her opponent. She was good with Taijutsu as well, but was more of a ranged fighter. Her genjutsu skills were not great but she was able to break out of most of them.
It was time that he had a spar with her and the two swordsmen. He got ready for the day. After having a relaxing bath, he decided to not wear anything on his upper body, as it usually got torn when fighting against sword users. He wore simple brown pants. He knew that most of the fighters of their caliber usually could read an opponent's moves by their muscle movements. He wanted to see their reaction time.
"Ready brother?" he heard Nina speak from the door way.
He winked at her and said "what do you think?"
He put on his glasses and a lower face mask to cover his face to keep his identity secrete. Only a few people knew of his and Nina's identity, and he intended to keep it that way. Nina bounced excitedly as they exited. Soon enough, they were in the small arena. He saw both Aoi and Chojuro waiting alongside Mei. The busty kage was wearing a rather simple kimono compared to her usual rather revealing clothing. It was a single piece light green kimono with long sleeves meant to hide her muscle movements and hand signs, and she had a simple metallic chain around her waist to hold it tightly.
Mei gave a coy smile as she said "Well, you certainly impress me." and looked up and down at him, as if he was a piece of meat. He heard small snickers from around them.
There were a few people on sidelines watching them. He merely raised a brow and that was the only reaction he gave.
"Shall we start?" he asked, showing boredom.
Nina stayed behind as they walked to the center of the arena. Naruto stayed a few feet behind them.
They stood opposing him and started to spread apart to surround him.
Wanting to test their reflexes, he started with offence. He rushed at Aoi as the man took his sword out of its sheath. He weaved in and out of Aoi's attacks. Soon he was fighting all three of them together. Choujiro and Aoi had good teamwork. Each tried to cover other's openings as much as they could while still keeping the offence. Mei was doing the role of support from range. He decided to take it up a notch. His speed suddenly doubled and the power behind his blows increased as well. This sudden boost was enough for him to catch them off balance. Mei used quick thinking and threw her poisonous mist at him. He used wind manipulation and threw the mist back at her. …
They fought like that for a while as he tested all of them. He signaled stopping of the match after an hour or so.
"You are all good, I must say. Choujiro is around a high B class Ninja on average, and borderline high A in swordfight. Aoi is around high A in average with borderline S ranked in swordsmanship, I am sure that Bykugan also helps. While you Mei, have around mid to high S ranked ninjutsu. Your taijutsu is around mid to high A, and your genjutsu is average." He said giving them their assessment.
"Really? I know my taijutsu is not up to par, but I thought I was good enough for a low to mid S rank." Mei replied with a pout. All of them except him were panting while his own breathing had barely gotten faster.
"Don't worry, train my sister to my expectations, and I shall help you reach a higher level of power." He told her. In his two weeks stay here, he had found that Mei was a passionate girl with a high expectation of herself. Most of the people in rebellion were here to get rid of Yagura. Mei was once a student of Aoi. From them he learned that Yagura was once a peace loving Kage. But somewhere, somehow, he changed. He issued bloodline purge. It was out of the blue, a lot of people were killed in this.
It had taken Mei 5 years just to gather everyone and gain their trust. Of - course, there were several different factions with every faction wanting Yagura dead more than anything else. Thus the point of who would be the fifth Mizukage would arise once Yagura was done with. He taking out Yagura and siding with Mei would resolve that issue.
[A year later]
"Everything is set. We will leave in next 15 minutes." He heard Mei speak from the door way. He nodded and replied "I shall be down before we head out."
"You will have to be careful. We don't have any real idea of Yagura's strength. This is our one and only chance." She said with some concern of the events that would soon occur. "Do not fret Mei. The end result will be what you asked for." He again replied. His eyes were closed and he was sitting cross-legged on his bed.
Mei sighed and vanished in a water sunshin.
15 minutes later….
Everyone from the rebellion factions was gathered near the borders of central and Main Island of village hidden in the mist. Everyone had their orders. Nina and he vanished as figures hidden in shadows started to move across the streets of the island. He kept doing sunshin as he finally reached near the kage tower. No one had noticed him, but he could already hear the explosions rocking the island and feel the mist shinobi scurrying out to take care of the rebels. It was night time and visibility due to the mist was far low. It didn't hamper him though. He went inside as he let Nina on the second floor to attract attention. He made his way to the third floor while keeping himself completely alert of his surroundings. He killed a few on his way without making a single stop. He blasted the door to the Kage's office and entered. He saw a wall of water drop down as it revealed Yagura standing behind it.
Yagura narrowed his eyes and tilted his head. "Interesting, the rumors were true after all. The rebels seem to have gotten you on their side." He muttered. Naruto didn't bother with a reply.
Yagura moved his staff in an arc and slammed it on the ground. Spider-webs started to spread through the floor. Yagura quickly jumped out of the building and landed in the open space surrounding the kage tower. Naruto didn't take long to follow him. As soon as Naruto jumped out of the building, a water dragon shot his way. He quickly created an earth dragon from the rubble falling of the tower and sent it against the water dragon. As the mass of the two collided, both dragons dropped down on the ground below him and he landed on the rubble they created. As soon as he landed though, he had to start dodging the earth spikes that suddenly started to sprout from the ground beneath the rubble. Naruto started to build chakra in his hands and legs. He then started to move his hands and legs as one would move a sword. Sharp blades of wind started to blast out of his fingers. Yagura saw the distortion in the air and started to dodge and block with earth walls. He tried to send water spears but they were rendered useless before they even got closer to Naruto.
Seeing that he was outclassed in speed and raw power, Yagura decided to bring his trump card out as he had no other choice and summoned his Bijuu's power. His body started to take on a bluish hue and suddenly yokai blasted out of his body. Dark skies formed overhead and it started to rain. The very air was starting to tingle with Sanbii's yokai. The earth beneath Yagura was cracking and burning. Yagura's staff turned light bluish. It had an unearthly blue glow surrounding it. Yagura sprouted a tail made of yokai and lashed out at him. The transformation barely took a second and Yagura was upon him. Naruto sped up and matched Yagura's new speed. Yagura's blows were harder and faster. Yet they were not a match to his. Deciding to end it, he gathered chakra in his right hand and condensed it. Seeing the buildup of chakra, Yagura released all the power of his bijuu.
A form resembling a turtle with three tails surrounded him. The turtle opened its mouth and a torrent of highly pressurized water sped at him. Naruto activated his lightning armor and appeared above the demonic form of the jinchuriki and fired off his compressed resengan. The resengan burned through the yokai cloak, but could not reach the jinchuriki as the yokai fought back. This caused a small explosion to rock the turtle's body. The jinchuriki roared at Naruto and corrosive steam started to leak out of its skin. Seeing this, Naruto released a highly potent beam of lightning at the water demon. The beam connected and the form of the jinchuriki roared in pain.
Taking advantage of Yagura's distracted state, Naruto fired off a beam of lightning above the sanbii's gigantic form. In response, the skies rumbled and a beam of pure lightning came crashing down onto the Sanbi. The demonic power retreated back into the Sanbi's jinchuriki as the lightning did hurt him and mad him loose focus. Not letting go of the attack, Naruto created 9 clones and they left him to prepare a seal surrounding Yagura. Naruto kept pelting Yagura with electrical discharges to keep him occupied. Meanwhile, the clones had formed a nine pointed star shape with Yagura in it. They then continued on drawing the sealing array from their positions. Yagura seeing this tried to get out of the place with a replacement jutsu, but he could not. Naruto had put a seal on Yagura during their initial battle that would disable Yagura from switching once the seal was activated. It didn't take his clones long to finish the sequence and slam their hands on the ground. The earth beneath them shook and Yagura started to scream.
Naruto started to release Kyuubi's power for the first time since he arrived in Kiri. The space around Yagura distorted as the jinchuriki seal on him started to glow and pulse with reddish yokai of Kyuubi. In a flash, Yagura's left shoulder tore itself off of his body and the seal holding the Sanbi was broken. Yagura dropped lifelessly on the floor as a flood of yokai blasted out of his body. Everyone doing the battle stopped. Those of the older generation knew what had happened. The KI produced by Yagura till now had been nothing compared to the immense pressure most were feeling now. They knew it had to be a real bijuu, one free of its restrains. They shuddered as they remembered the past when their seniors had fought and lost to this behemoth. Last time it had taken everything in their power to barely seal it. And now, now it seemed free once more. Free to wreak havoc as it had done before.
A terrifying shriek resonated through the entire land. Many of the younger and weaker fighters and civilians fell unconscious. Many of the civilians died of pure heart attack in their shielded barracks. The Sanbi shrieked "I shall return!" and then suddenly all the KI and pressure in the air vanished as the Sanbi was sucked into an abyssal portal beneath it and the portal closed. No one had any idea of what exactly happened. Those who were still conscious looked around them. Bodies littered the battlefield. Homes were destroyed. Supporters of Yagura's reign knew that they had lost as there was no trace of Sanbi's presence. They also knew that Yagura had been killed as they had felt the real Sanbi.
Seeing that they had already lost, they dropped their weapons in surrender. Mei and some of her allies had been close to his fight with Yagura. They had seen what he had done to Sanbi. Though, they still had no idea of what exactly happened. Many of them were looking at him with fear and awe. Mei shunshined near him and surveyed their surroundings.
"Mei-san, I have an urgent matter to attend to. I am certain; you can take care of things from here on. Look out for Nina while I am gone, will you?" he asked.
"Certainly, Naruto-san." Mei replied as she was still taking in the fact that the civil war was over.
With that he vanished.
He appeared a few miles or so away from the center of the fight and got into the forest surrounding the area. "Well, this is a pleasant surprise. How can I help you today… Itachi-san and Hebi-san?" Naruto asked.
There was silence for a while, and then finally two figures appeared 100 or so meters ahead of him. Naruto tilted his head and said "Your friends needn't worry about me either." Two more figures came into view on opposing sides of Itachi. He could clearly see them, so could they see him. He tilted his head and again asked with a smile "my, my. Four highly dangerous ninja together, what an odd site. Anyhow, what can I do for you gentlemen?"
"Nothing at all, Naruto-kun. We were barely passing." Orochimaru replied with a creepy smile.
"Oh, and here I was hoping to hear something exciting. But anyhow, I hope you enjoyed the show that I put up for you?" Naruto replied. Making it known that he had known of their presence for a long time.
"Indeed. That was spectacular. Though, I do have some questions, if you won't mind?" Itachi asked.
"Oh, go ahead. Ask away." Naruto replied with a smile.
"What happened to the Sanbi? I saw the abyssal portal beneath it. What was it, exactly?" Itachi asked.
"Did you like it? It is my original creation. I can send even a bijuu back into hell." Naruto said with a smile.
"How has life been as missing nins for you anyway? I am certain; you must see many spectacular and interesting things every ones in a while. I sure am enjoying it." He questioned.
"It has been most interesting indeed. But how did you manage it? Last I heard, only the wielder of the mythical Rinnegan can do that." Orochimaru asked.
"Come now, our world is full of mysteries. Do you really believe that only the Dojutsu are capable of such feats? The Shodai was capable of suppressing a bijuu, and he had no Dojutsu, did he?" Naruto retorted.
"Beyond that, you have a man amidst you who likely is capable of such feats. Kakuzu of Taki, a wise and… an old man. A man who not only survived through clan wars, but also the three great wars. An immortal that loves money and has lord knows how much of it. But, why do you even collect so much when you don't even need it?" Naruto asked.
"People die, money doesn't. It's as simple as that." Kakuzu replied with a shrug.
"I would love to clash blades with you, but perhaps some time later." The last figure spoke, its fanged grin visible.
"I would be delighted to, the current swordsman that I have faced aren't really that great. Then again, you were different, the monster of Kiri – Hoshigaki Kisame, wielder of Sameheda - the chakra eating monster sword." Naruto replied.
"We must part ways now. I am getting late." Kakuzu said as he shunshined out of the area.
"So should we." Rest of the shinobi replied and vanished. Naruto waited for some time alone in the silence.
"Don't you have somewhere to be at Ninja-san under the ground?" Naruto said with a smile and felt the presence leave.
He then narrowed his eyes and in a puff of smoke, 3 clones appeared and vanished in the next instant. He appeared in front of a woman hiding in tree lines. With a touch of his finger she was paralyzed and he gently carried her down. His clones had also brought three other figures, unconscious and bound. He put the woman down and released her of paralysis. She let out a gasp as she understood the dire situation she was in. her team was bound, and unconscious. She was at the mercy of Konoha's greatest enemy. She couldn't act; her daughter's life was on the line.
"Be at ease Mikoto-san. I have a debt to repay you. Now, do you wish your daughter to be awake while I tell you what I must?" he asked.
Mikoto shocked, could only nod. He awoke Sayuri. Sayuri backed away as she noticed him. She noticed Mikoto and got close to her and took her fighting stance. Mikoto put her hand on Sayuri's shoulder and motioned her to drop her stance. Reluctantly but surely, she did so.
Naruto touched his left shoulder blade and saw them stiffen. In a puff of smoke, a scroll appeared in his hands. He handed it to Mikoto. "This is the reason for your clan's demise. I am certain that you were already aware of it. It is a copy of Hokage's personally given missions. Look for the seventh mission." He waited for her to finish reading. Mikoto opened the scroll and read through some of the missions and then read the one she was instructed to. She took a calming breath as she had just had her worst fears confirmed.
"I… I had hoped it wasn't like this… but I feared it would be. What I don't understand is your reason for helping me?" Mikoto asked with a calmness that belied her emotions.
"I remember you, and I remember what you did for me. If you need help, call me." he said as he handed her a kunai marked with his hirashini seal and vanished.
"What was all that about mother? What did he mean, please explain it to me. I don't want to lose you too." Sayuri asked.
"I shall tell you once we are behind the safety of our mansion." Mikoto replied and pocketed the kunai.
"Now, I shall tell you and your team to go home, you will immediately do so." After giving the mission report, I shall come home and explain things to you, understood?" Mikoto asked. Sayuri nodded in understanding of the urgency in Mikoto's voice.
3 days later, in Konoha….
"Reporting mission success, Hokage-sama." Mikoto said as she stood in front of the Third Hokage. Sarutobi was sitting with Jiriya and Tsunade on his either side.
"Please tell us what you found." Sarutobi asked in a kind tone.
"It's positive, Hokage-sama. Shinron was in Kiri. We didn't get to find much, though." She replied.
"Why, couldn't you find more?" Jiriya asked.
"He confronted us, Jiriya-san." Mikoto said with a blank look. All three sitting widened their eyes. Mikoto again composed herself. "He was conversing with another four S-ranked ninjas." This had the others stiffen and clenching fists. "They didn't discuss anything important; it was more to do with who these people were that shocked me to the bones." "One of them was Hoshigaki Kisame – the monster of the mist. Another was a man named Kakuzu, apparently an immortal as Naruto said the man had lived since the day of the clan wars… But the last two, they were our own missing nin, and the only two with an S-rank. Orochimaru of the Sanin and … Uchiha Itachi." Mikoto took a pause and waited for others to react.
"What else can you tell us Mikoto?" Tsunade asked.
"It was too coincidental to be not an arranged meeting. The time that it all occurred was too good to be a coincident. When it all happened, Shinron was facing against the Mizukage, or I should say, former Mizukage. He killed Yagura. At that time, the four others were a mile or so away. I was closer to others and was trying my best to hide. I fear what actually happened. It looked like a show of strength as Shinron didn't use Kyuubi's power till the very end, and when he did, I felt the presence of a free bijuu, not the Kyuubi, no. It was that of the Sanbi. Then in a few moments, the Sanbi was gone, vanished into thin air. When Orochimaru asked Shinron about it, Shinron said that he sent the Sanbi back to hell. Once the others had gone, he confronted me. He threw my bound and unconscious team at my feet and gave me a message… he said 'I thought my punishment of Konoha would be enough, but apparently, all this time Konoha had been hiding its power. All the previous kages coming back to life is a proof of that. But, this time I shall come prepared. Soon I will come, and when I do… unlike my previous gift, this time there will be nothing but ashes left. Bringing the fourth of all people… take my message and BEGONE!'" Mikoto told and once more took a deep breath.
"With his words alone, he banished us miles away out of Mizu-no-kuni." Mikoto added the final part.
"Is that all, Mikoto-san?" Sarutobi asked. Mikoto simply gave a nod.
"You may retire for the day then." Sarutobi said as he dismissed her. Mikoto shunshined in the Uchiha manor and started to activate all the sealing arrays.
To keep the front of all previous Kages still living, Minato had officially resigned as the current Hokage and joined the active duty. The previous kages had to publically declare that they had already led the village once; the time now was not theirs to lead.
Once done with activating all the barrier and privacy seals within the manor, Mikoto took a seat in front of Sayuri on her bed.
"Where to begin." Mikoto said with a sigh. "Take a seat as I briefly explain things to you." she told Sayuri. Once Sayuri was seated, Mikoto took a deep breath and started to speak.
"Kushina Uzumaki was my team mate and best friend. She and the fourth Hokage had a son. As everybody now knows, it is Naruto. I was named as his godmother while Kushina would have been yours, had she lived." Mikoto told Sayuri. Sayuri widened her eyes as she was told about this for the first time in her life.
Mikoto continued "Naruto's godfather was Jiriya of the Sanin. After Kyuubi's attack, Jiriya gave preference to his other duties to the village and said no to taking care of a kid. Naruto's heritage was hidden and only a select few knew. When I tried to gain custody, I was denied as others didn't want Uchiha to have Kyuubi's power in their clan." Mikoto spoke this with bitterness. She continued with narrowed eyes.
"Since the Hokage himself had ordered his identity to be hidden, I couldn't gain custody as his godmother. And custody of Kyuubi jinchuriki to an Uchiha was out of the question. But as his godmother, I had to help him however I could. And so I did. Not anything major, no. just helped him with simple things. I caught him a few times while he was about to get beaten by the villagers. I took him to safety. Sometimes I would bring him food too. But in all this, I made sure to keep my identity hidden. But he somehow found me out, it would seem." She said with a fond yet sad smile.
"Why keep it hidden, though?" Sayuri asked.
"No one was supposed to be in contact with him, especially those from a clan. Plus it was also done to keep his linage secrete. As the only son of the fourth Hokage, he had more than enough enemies. It was going as good as it could till his 6th birthday. On his sixth birthday, he was taken to be turned into a weapon. I was heartbroken. I couldn't do anything." She replied. A single tear trickled down her left eye.
"When I first saw him after his training had started, he looked like a drone. He spoke as if every response was programmed into him. That crushed any hope I had for saving him. I never saw him again… till yesterday." She said and sighed.
A soft smile played on her lips as she said "I am glad though. Glad that I was wrong. He endured it all, and made Konoha pay. He is, in truth, an epitome of what a shinobi should be. He deceived us all. He gathered strength and bid his time to strike. He trained under our noses and we knew no better. Despite all my attempts to keep my identity a secret, he still found it out, and I am glad he did, or else we would be dead right now."
With a weary sigh, she began the dreaded part of this conversation "Our clan had been deceived by the Shodai. We were offered to lead the protection task force of the village. Our clan betrayed its leader, Madara. Soon we saw the real reason of such an important task; we Uchiha activate our bloodline under battle stress and it grows in life and death situations. How many possible situations can you imagine us facing within the village that will ever help us activate our bloodline? Very few and far in-between." Mikoto said.
"Kyuubi was, for the first time, controlled by Madara. And when the Kyuubi again came here all those years ago; our clan was the prime suspect. We were being alienated from rest of the village. Finally, fed up of it all, our clan planned a coup." Sayuri widened her eyes as she had not known of this tidbit of information. "Itachi was supposed to be on our side. But… he wasn't. He took this information to the Hokage, who later ordered the extermination of our entire clan. Itachi took it and killed all… except us. He could not kill his mother or little sister that he dearly loved, or so I gather. The Hokage allowed this, because he had to ensure that the Uchiha clan still lived, and contributed to the village. He expects us to help restore the Uchiha clan. Of-course, us restoring the clan is left unsaid." Mikoto said with narrowed and angry eyes.
Mikoto observed her daughter, and saw the changes in her facial expressions. A long moment of silence passed between mother and daughter. Finally Sayuri spoke.
"At the end… It was Itachi who killed our clan. Even beyond that, he left us alive to be used as a breeding machine. How did he even put the village above his clan! He was the clan heir! He was admired by everyone. And what did he do? He backstabbed us! He backstabbed us for a village that would use his mother and sister as a breeding stock!" Sayuri was starting to cry in anguish as she clenched her fists and was taking deep breaths to calm herself. Mikoto hugged Sayuri and started to console her.
Mikoto's hold on Sayuri tightened as memories of her own losses came to forefront of her mind. She remembered her friends from her clan, her husband, her blood sister that died in the Kyuubi attack, and her best friend and sister in all but blood – Kushina. She vividly remembered their lifeless and bloodied bodies, their soulless eyes. She wondered, if some of those dead had lived, would the present be any different. She felt guilty for not knowing the answer. She felt guilty and self-loathing for not being able to save any of them. She too started to cry as all the suppressed memories resurfaced. All the bottled up emotions struck her at once. She had not wanted to deal with these emotions. She had always found things to keep her busy. But now, there was no running away. Blood started to drip from her eyes instead of tears. A sharp pain entered her eyes but she did not notice. Neither did she notice when her pupil morphed into three tomoes and then into a new pattern. It looked like a circular disc with three straight lines going outwards.
When Sayuri felt her war hardened mother start crying, her own tears started to fall anew. Everything that she had tried to forget by training day in and day out, all of it came crashing down at once. She remembered her clan members, the children she used to play with in her clan. She then remembered the illusionary world that Itachi put her in and then mentally tortured. He had shown her images of how he killed all her friends, how he killed their father. Then she recalled her mother's words. All this bloodshed, killing off his own family, for a village that had always deceived and used them as disposable tools. For a village that has always seen them with suspicion in their heart.
At that moment she felt she had truly lost her big brother, a person she had admired over any other. She had only felt anger and resentment for her brother till now, but now she felt at loss. Her brother that loved her dearly was no more. All that remained is a tool that Konoha used as it needed. She cried and cried. Her eyes started to drip blood as her mother's had done. She didn't notice her eyes change as her pupil morphed into three tomoes and then evolved. The three tomoes connected together and formed a Y shape with two of the three being inwardly curled from the tips.
