Uindo Bensha

Demons

Bensha slammed her fist into a rock beside her. A sneer was across her face she she panted in rage.

"Dammit!!!" She cursed. Bensha yanked her arm out of the rock and moved ahead with her eyes narrowed in rage. "Why am I limited so?" She hissed as she made her way through the forest. Creatures ran away from the path she took and stayed away.

"Naruto . . ." Tsunade trailed off, unsure of how to word her question. Jiraiya looked up at the Hokage. "Perhaps it would be best if I bring in her team and explain a few things about Setsuko." Naruto thought for a moment before nodding.

"H-hai. They need to know if we're gonna get her back." Tsunade nodded before calling for messenger.

"Get Gai, Asuma, and their teams along with Kiba, Sakura, Sasuke and Shino. Don't forget Shikamaru and Team 28." The messenger nodded before disappearing.

"I'll go ahead and start to search for her." Naruto glanced at Hinata before go towards the door.

"I'll go with him." Kakashi told the Hokage. "I know what she looks like now and it would only waste time. I already know it." The Hokage hesitated before nodding.

"If that's the way you want it." Kakashi left with Naruto to find the Uindo Bensha. Hinata looked at the door before turning back to Tsunade.

"Hokage-sama, what are they talking about?"

"I'll tell you once everyone gets here."

Kakashi leapt from tree to tree. He had uncovered his left eye once they had reached the last place either of them saw her. Naruto was tapping into the Kyuubi's chakra. He was sending it to his feet, nose, ears, and eyes. Finding Setsuko was the most important thing to him.

"Kakashi-sensai!" Naruto yelled as he landed by a tree. Kakashi landed next to him quietly.

"What did you find?" Naruto picked up a discarded red dress.

". . . if she tore this off . . . what is she walking around in?" Naruto asked out loud. He narrowed his eyes as he glared at Kakashi. "When we find her . . . look away!" Kakashi sighed and rubbed the back of his head before summoning a small dog.

"Takashi! I need you to track Setsuko." Kakashi put the dress up to the dog's nose.

"Hmm . . . some dame you chasin'? Just 'cuz she don't want to go out with ya, you make me track her?!"

"You stupid mutt! That my cousin! We have to find her!" Naruto yelled.

Tsunade sighed as she rubbed her forehead. Jiraiya, Kakashi's team, minus Naruto and himself, Kurenai's team, Asuma's team, Gai's team, Setsuko's team and Shikamaru were all there. Even Iruka was there. She had thought it was best considering how close he and Naruto were. Sakura looked around, confused.

"Hokage-sama, why did you call us all here?" Tsunade swallowed her feelings. She had to tell them everything.

"Uzumaki Setsuko. Something has happened to her and I am not entirely sure what it was. I do know that something has taken over her body. Orochimaru apparently summoned it. He had given Setsuko a cursed seal while she was gone and thus she was possessed by this creature."

"Did . . . did that change her appearance?" Janghoon asked quietly. Tsunade looked at him surprised for a moment before shaking her head.

"No, she's been like that for twelve years." She sighed as confused looks adorn nearly every single ninja in the room. "Setsuko had a demon named Aka Yuki sealed inside of her since birth. In the village she grew up in, from what I was told, she was hated. The people abused her daily. She never knew why until she turned thirteen. Apparently her seal was not very strong and her soul merged with the demon's. It was then that she changed. I'm sure some of you have seen her without the henge." A few nodded while the others shook their heads. She quickly described Setsuko's appearance for those who did not know.

". . . what happened when she changed?" Ino's curiosity had gotten the best of her. Tsunade grew quiet for a moment.

"That day was the day she was first reported to Konoha. From what Setsuko has told me, the village attacked her. Hunted her like some wild animal. It was then Setsuko was reported. She had slaughtered the entire entire village. Not one person was left alive, no one knew exactly who did it or why, until now."

"What made you think it was Setsuko-chan?" Kurenai asked the Hokage.

". . . after Kakashi's home was destroyed . . . I saw the cloud-nin she had killed. It was like all her other victims. Setsuko had earned the nickname Bloodless Ninja over the years. She had slaughtered her entire village, cutting off any possible blood ties. And none of her victims ever had a drop of blood left."

"How is the possible?" Sakura whispered. Tsunade rubbed her forehead.

"I'm not sure. All I know is that Setsuko has an enormous amount of chakra in her blood. That chakra allows her to control her blood, making weapons from it or turning it into acid. I don't know why, but she never left one person with their blood still in them."

". . . when you learned about this, wouldn't you have ANBU sent after her?" Shikamaru asked.

". . . I could not. Setsuko had not betrayed the Hidden Leaf. She was still a loyal member of Konoha."

"Even after she left for a month?" Riki watched the Hokage carefully as she tried to answer his question.

"If . . . Setsuko had not appeared when she did, I probably would have declared her a missing-nin. I did not have enough evidence to support the idea that she abandoned Konoha. It went against her personality. Besides, she was the head of the Uzumaki clan. I have little doubt that Naruto would have left to be with her. But that does not matter now. The creature must be stopped. I want you to find it and bring it back. I might be able to save Setsuko."

Bensha let her fingers glide over a rock. She was searching for something. Her eyes scanned over the sky before she called out again.

"I do not understand." She whispered to the sky. "You were not the one who called me. Why did I wake? Were you not the only one to be able to call me?" Bensha felt her ears twitch. 'Someone's coming.' She turned around in time to see two ninja land in front of her. It was the man from before and a boy. She stared at the boy for a moment.

". . . . Naruto, correct?" Naruto stared at her.

"Give me back Setsuko-chan."

"Yes, it is Naruto. She had fond memories of you." She laughed silently at the two confused looks sent her way. "Yes, I do enjoy her memories. Who would have thought a human could be so entertaining." Bensha narrowed her eyes at the two ninja. "But, like any other human she has her limits. Meaning that I am limited. This offends me." She hissed before holding out her hand. She pointed a finger at them and a gust of wind knocked the two to the ground. She slowly walked towards them as she cut her finger with her nail. A spike of blood formed in her hand as she grabbed Kakashi's vest and lifted him up. Her arm was raised up high in the air.

Orochimaru moved through the trees quickly. He could sense her. With every step he took she grew closer. Orochimaru smirked wickedly as he ran towards her. He would have the power that belonged to the Bensha, no matter what.

Bensha felt her hand tremble as she started at the ninja, Kakashi. Her eyes widened before she threw him back to the ground and leapt away. A kunai landed were she had been standing. Bensha glared at the leaf-nin who had just arrived. Hinata was helping Naruto up off the ground. Bensha quickly counted the leaf-nin. 18. The wind whispered to her that more were coming. She smirked wickedly before a look a fear crossed her face. The Bensha felt her eyes widen in realization towards her fear. She quickly sent a blast of wind towards the ground in front of them, sending up a cloud a dirt. She used their momentary disability to disappear into the trees at an amazing speed. By the time the cloud of dust settled, she was long gone. Tsunade looked at Jiraiya.

"Do you think we can track her?"

"No." Kakashi answered. Tsunade looked at him. "Right now she has the advantage. Bensha has Setsuko's memories. She knows a lot about us and we only know a few things about her. Besides, she had the wind on her side. She'll know we're coming before we're anywhere near her. Not only that, it would appear she has Setsuko's abilities as well." Kakashi muttered before turning back towards the village. "We have to train now, to be strong enough to save Setsuko."

Bensha leaned against a large tree as she stood on a wide branch. She was clutching her heart and panting with wide eyes.

". . . how . . ." She panted. ". . . how is this possible?!" She sank down to her knees. ". . . these emotions . . ." She gasped. "They are not mine."

"That's because you are merely renting that body." Bensha looked around wildly for the owner of the voice. A bandaged body landed in front of her. "You don't make the rules. Setsuko made them. You can only have control over your actions, not your reactions. They're just like Setsuko's." Bensha swiped at Orochimaru but he easily dodged.

"Are you the one? The one that tried to summon me?!"

"Of course, it would have been useless to try and give Setsuko any normal cursed seal. She had no desire to become stronger. She only wanted to be strong enough to live with her dear Kakashi." Orochimaru snickered. Bensha stood up shaking.

"What . . . what are these emotions?! I never had them and I do not like them." Orochimaru laughed.

"Fool! They're fear! You have her fears! And from what I learned, Setsuko has some fears you might find inconvenient." Bensha glared up at him.

"What are they?!" Orochimaru smirked as he examined her.

"Oh, I think I'll leave to find out for yourself. That is, unless you changed your mind about serving me." Bensha stood up as performed a few seals. A silver orb appeared in her hand and she threw it at him. Orochimaru jumped to another tree and barely avoided it.

"I serve the wind. No one else." Bensha moved her index finger down as if pressing something. A strong wind came down and broke the branch Orochimaru stood on. Bensha quickly left as he fell.
