If there really is a Hidden Village of the Sun or a Hidden Village of the Moon, I will have to change the names in this story. I have only seen up to episode 100 and I don't recall them talking about either of these. If they talk about them later on, please let me know and I will change them. Thanks a bunch!
Chapter 8
Nevins started to explain the situation. "To make a very long story short, I will give you the basics. The two villages that wiped each other out, the Hidden Village of the Sun and the Hidden Village of the Moon, you recall these?"
The Hokage nodded. "They were both afraid of each other's power, so in order to be recognized as the stronger one, they attacked each other. Only they killed themselves off. No one survived."
"Yes, partly true."
"Partly?"
"Three people survived."
"Three?"
"Takamori is from the Hidden Village of the Moon. He is the only survivor. Ryuuchi, your old friend, Aki's father, is from the Hidden Village of the Moon." Nevins paused to make sure that they were all following his explanations. Seeing they were, he continued. "The main secret of the Village of the Sun was light. They were able to form light where ever, when ever, as long as it was in sight. Meaning, if one of them wanted that glass there to start glowing, " Nevins explained pointing to a glass on the Hokage's table, "all they had to do was form some hand seals and it would glow from the light they were forming into it. If need be, they could instantly blind a person. The Hidden Village of the Moon is almost the same. Two differences: The color of the light is blue for the Village of the Moon and the color is Gold for the Village of the Sun. Second, they had the ability to remove light, creating darkness."
"And how is Aki involved in this?" asked Hayate.
"She is the third survivor."
"Third? Aki said that her father, Ryuuchi, was her adoptive father.?"
"He is, but they partly from the same village."
"Eh?"
"Her mother was from the Village of the Sun and her father, from the Village of the Moon. She has the powers of both villages. Since she was from his village, he took her in and raised her to become very powerful. The only problem is that she is unable to control that power."
"She can't control it?"
"Most of it. The power from the Village of the Sun, she can control. The power from the Village of the Moon, she can also control. It is when she tries to use both powers at once. When she tries to intermingle them together."
"So, what does Takamori want with her?"
"My guess is that he wants that power. She has great potential. Her skills just need to be perfected."
"Jin said that Takamori wanted Ryuuchi to do some seal. What was it?" the Hokage asked.
"That, I don't know."
"I can see that being blinded could be a bad thing," Hayate stated, "but what is so dangerous about being able to create light…or remove it, for that fact?"
Nevins smiled and started to explain: "Imagine it being so bright or so terribly dark that you were unable to see or sense your enemy. Imagine light so bright that it burns your skin. Or the lack of light that causes your skin to freeze. Imagine your sight being abused by the rapid flickering of light, causing migraines, even seizures. Imagine the distortion of light that could cause a distortion of your sight, which in turn would cause a distortion in all your senses. Any one of these instances is a really bad situation to be in." Nevins explained to Hayate. "And Ryuuchi made it worse, that crazy bastard!"
"How so?" Hayate asked.
It was the Hokage's turn to explain. "Ryuuchi perfected the power of the Village of the Sun to where it didn't just form a ball of light, but to where he could make that ball form something else. He made it form a seal. That is his true Sealing Power. He was able to use hand seals and then point to an opposite wall and a seal would form there to, lets say, summon a lizard."
"Yes, but there is more," Nevins continued. "What he perfected became more dangerous. He no longer needed to form hand seals because he created seals to take the place of the hand seals. In a sense, he was forming two seals simultaneously, one for the hand seals and one for the summoning, overlapping each other. All he had to do was look to where he wanted the light to form the seal and instantly he could summon whatever he wanted. He could place a seal anywhere. If he wanted to summon something on a tree limb above him, he would use his power and form a seal there and summon it without moving. If he wanted to knock away Kunai that had been thrown at him, he would form exploding seals on them and demolish them. If he wanted to sever someone's arm without even moving an inch toward them…I think you get the point," Nevins explained.
"He could do that? When did he learn to do such a thing?" asked the Hokage.
Nevins just shrugged. "I don't know, and that isn't really important. What's important is that he taught Aki how to do this technique." Nevins, seeing that they didn't quite understand the extent of the severity of the problem if she was to ever 'snap' made them image a worse case scenario: "You do realize that she could form a seal around this entire village and destroy it in a matter of seconds without moving a muscle?" Everyone's eyes in the room widened at his statement. "That seal that she used to heal Hayate, the light on the floor, you think that was just your imagination? She was using the power of the Village of the Moon. The light was blue. And for her to make a seal so large with practically no side affects…to make one like that to easily…." he trailed off into thought, not finishing his sentence.
"Why would Aki destroy this village?" Asuma asked.
"It's not that she wants to, or is planning to… she's not. It's just that, because in some cases, she can't control her emotions. You've seen it. From what you all told me, she freaked out when Jin made a replication of Takamori. Luckily for you, she passed out from lack of energy. However, when she becomes overwhelmed…or down right pissed off…. she sometimes uses both village powers at the same time. She can't control it. Bad things happen…really bad. She's not herself. She is dangerous, she doesn't think about consequences, frankly, she isn't thinking at all." After a moment, Nevins asked: "You wanted the help of Ryuuchi's vast knowledge of different seals and their power, however, you didn't expect any of this, did you?" Nevins asked the Hokage. He didn't reply.
For a while, there was only silence in the room. Everyone was contemplating the 'what ifs'. Finally, the Hokage spoke.
"From what you are saying, Nevins-san…Kakashi needs to know about this." Informed the Hokage. "Asuma, could you go and find him and bring him back here. Have Aki-san wait in one of the libraries downstairs and make sure that someone is watching her."
"Hai," Asuma said before disappearing, leaving Hayate and Nevins with the Hokage.
