Chapter One:

"Seven deadly sins,

seven ways to win,

seven holy paths to hell,

and your trip begins

Seven downward slopes

seven bloodied hopes

seven are your burning fires,

seven your desires..."― Iron Maiden, Moonchild

Prelude:

Lighting flashes, thunder roars and rain begins to follow on Konohagakure. The Thunder roars again and wind begins to hollow and bang against windows and doors. The Hokage tower is illuminated brightly by the lighting, within the newly appointed fourth Hokage: Minato Namikaze sits at his desk pondering over paper, his hands are folded under his chin as he signs. Lighting brings him out of his thoughts. "It's time." spoke a voice. Minato shook his head and looked up at the hooded figure before him. The figure had a dark and frightening arua. "Are you sure nobody has found out about the project?" asked Minato as he took out a picture and smiled as his hand graced over the frame. The figure paused a min, before speaking "Yes, I have ensured that anybody who has found out was removed permanently." he replied in a monotone voice. Minato flinched but was cut off before he could speak. "Don't be concerned about the loss of life, Ninja's can be replaced...I can't' he spoke again, the words were aimed at Minato.

Minato sighed, the figure was correct. Ninja can be replaced making the loss of their life almost nonexistent almost if it never happened again. Minato rose and the figure motioned for him to follow him, which he did as the figure led him toward the back of the hokage's office. Both moved a bookcase out of the way and the hooded figure pressed a hidden button which slowly moved with a loud creak. An elevator appeared out of the wall and opened its doors the two walked in and the hooded figure pressed a button and the door closed, and just like that the wall reappeared. A figure with a dog mask dropped from the ceiling, he looked left then right then back again and slowly in a crouched position approached the wall. He ran his fingers across the wall and back again and stepped back. He narrowed his eyes, and shook his head {Minato-sensei what are you hiding? Who was that man? What project? And….are u behind the disappearances?}. Thoughts ran through his head, he shook his head again and shusin out of the office.

Unknown to the dog masked man, he was being watched. Out of the shadows stepped a figure of a teenage girl who looked like she was 18 - 19 years of age. A loud click was heard as she flicked her wrist and a curved sickle-like katana appeared blood splattered on the ground. She was wearing a black revealing jumpsuit with a short skirt attached to its wrist, her midriff showing her ankles were covered by wrappings and she had black toe and fingernail polish. Her hair was a black ponytail and her eyes and the upper part of her face was covered by a metal brace in the middle was the Kanji "長老" for elder stamped onto it. She rocked on her heels before raising the blade up toward her face and wiping the blood off with her hand. She then resheathed the blade onto her back. She tilted her head and furrowed her lips, "Target: Dog Rank: ANBU, Intentions: Unknown, Threat level: 60%, should purse…." she paused and shook her head, "I must report this to Father and Lord Hokage." she spoke again, her voice monotone almost machine like, cold, full of no emotion and soulless. She then stepped back into the shadows leaving the room empty minus traces of blood splattered on the floor and wall.

Meanwhile, at the home of the fourth Hokage

The lighting and rain, continues with a constant downpour. Kushina Uzumaki, is currently inside the house looking at the clock, and then out the window. {Minato said he was meeting with someone important, he didn't know when he would be back.} Kushina sighed as she continued to cook Minato's favorite dish. "I have a bad feeling about this." she muttered softly to no one in particular.

In a underground laboratory complex beneath Konohagakure

Two figures, shadows walk, through winding hallways, and flashlights. They contort, and grow and shrink before arriving at a huge door. With a loud creak and grinding of gears with sparks flying the doors opened. Revealing a darkened room, the lights come on suddenly blinding Minato, before his eyes adjust, staring at seven tubes, two empty with five full of a blood red liquid with beeping noses. "As you can see the Project is continuing on smoothly just like we planned." spoke the hidden figure from earlier. "Father, Lord Hokage" a monotone voice spoked up from behind both figures turned around the girl from early quickly bowed on one knee as a sign of respect Minato quickly blushed and waved his hands "No need...ehhh Chōjo? Was it?" he asked unsure of the girl's name. She rose and nodded quickly "Yes sir" she spoke in an almost robotic-like fashion.

"Report." cut of the man now identified as Father. "I have eliminated all targets who could oppose us…" She spoke then paused, "Excellent." spoke Father as Minato breathed out a sigh, hoping this was the right direction to go. "Anything else? You okay?" he asked after a few seconds, Chōjo bounced her head up and shook it. "No sir, everything is alright." she replied before bowing again. "Leave us, my child." spoke Father, as he lovingly stroked the side of her face causing a small blush to appear. Chōjo straighten up and quickly left after bowing again to the Hokage.
