4. Four Years Ago
A/N: Flashback time! W00t! Ok, not really, lolz.
Sasuke was sleeping soundly, and suddenly he began to dream about something he hadn't thought of in a long time.
---
It was an evening in Konoha. It seems that Jin and Sasuke were friends back then that met in the Ninja Academy. Jin wasn't like those fangirls who worshiped Sasuke for his good looks. Jin thought Sasuke as someone she wouldn't have a crush on. In fact, she thought Sasuke 'wasn't her type'. Sasuke thought of Jin as 'not like the other girls', and liked her for that.
Anyway, a forest-like park was where Jin and Sasuke seem to be walking together. They didn't want anybody to see them... Jin was talking to Sasuke about her jutsu and interests of hers. It wasn't long until seven intruders from the Rain Village showed up.
"Fireball Jutsu!" An eight-year-old Sasuke shouted. A sudden burst of flame came out of his mouth, but it didn't work against the seven shinobi that blocked it from their water attacks.
"Sasuke...what are we gonna do! These shinobi are too strong!" Jin cried (litterally). She was holding Sasuke, scared and frightened.
"Jin...you have to use that jutsu!" Sasuke cried to Jin.
"It's no use against us...throw whatever you want, you aren't gonna stop us," An evil rain ninja said.
"Shut up and try to throw something at us!" Sasuke shouted at the 7 ninja. "Jin, use THAT JUTSU!"
"Eh...OK!" Jin then let go of Sasuke, and began to make multiple hand seals. 20, to be exact.
"What! Those hand seals...so many!" On of the other rain ninja said to themselves.
"It's that girl...from the Tensai clan! That won't stop us!" Another rain ninja cried.
"This will stop you! BLINDING LIGHT JUTSU!" Jin made the last hand seal, which was both of her hands making the 'rock on' gesture, index fingers and pinkies touching together.
There was a sudden bright light hovering one of the rain ninja, and then the light hovered all seven of the ninja.
"What! It's just a light! That's what the Tensai clan can do! Hah! We can just close our eyes!" The rain ninja chuckled.
"Oh yeah? This light can go through ANYTHING!" Jin said.
"WAIT! JIN, YOUR JUTSU! STOP!" Sasuke shouted as loud as he could.
It was too late. Jin clapped her hands, and there was an explosion of light. Even though the light wasn't that bright (yet), the jutsu blinded the ninja, and Jin took out seven kunai knives. She threw them all at once with her two hands, and without seeing them through the light, she aimed all at their hearts as quick as a wink, and got them perfectly. The light then exploded again, making it even brighter, but Jin made a big mistake.
Unfortunately, eight-year-old Jin didn't know that the light could blind anybody who saw its power. Sasuke shielded his eyes and looked away, but she didn't. She didn't know that in one of her pockets was a pair of special sunglasses to protect her eyes. After the light disappeared, and the rain ninja dead, Jin fell to the ground. Sasuke ran to see what happened.
Tears almost ran down Sasuke's face. "Jin! Wake up!"
"I'm awake...but where are you? I can't see you!" Jin cried. Her eyes were a bright sapphire blue. They glowed like the light in her jutsu.
"I'm right in front of you! The light from your jutsu has blinded you, too..." Sasuke replied.
"I'm...so stupid..." Jin then felt around for his face. Sasuke took her hand, and put it on his cheek. "I'm sorry...I'd ever meet you...I was never worth your time..."
"No...you aren't like other girls, I've told you that..." Sasuke said softly. "I'm sorry...I could've protected you...I shouldn't have took you out to the forest this late..."
Jin had tears running down her eyes. "No, it's my fault for using that jutsu..."
Sasuke picked up Jin and hugged her. "I won't let you die...never."
"The same with you...Promise me...to never tell anyone of this jutsu..." Jin whispered tearfully.
"I'll do anything for you...you're the only one who cares about me now...you're like a sister to me...I won't tell."
"Thank you...Sasuke..." Jin then fell back, while Sasuke caught her. He took her home to his apartment and put her to bed.
Jin was like Sasuke. Her family died from a rare eye disease that went around when she was 7, and she was the only one who survived because of her strong immune system. It affected everyone in the family except for her. She was the youngest of all in the family...
The Third Hokage was looking upon the crystal ball of his, and gazed at the dead Rain Ninja in the forest. He also saw when Jin was blinded by her jutsu.
"Hm, she's got talent...but luckily, she'll be able to see during the day," the Hokage said.
The ninja to his right looked confused. "Why is that, Lord Hokage?"
"That jutsu of hers can only blind her during the time of day she used it...when she doesn't protect herself. Unfortunately, when she blinds herself another time on the opposite time of day she was blinded before..." Lord Hokage continued.
"I see, Lord Hokage..." the right-hand ninja replied.
"Let's just hope she doesn't make that same mistake again during the daytime..."
