"Woohoo!" The child cried as she jumped high and ran ahead of her companions.
"Nuji! Wait up!" Jiejie struggled to keep up, while Gege had a book out as he ran. He flipped the page as he ran on, unknowingly aggravating his sister. She nearly fell as she ran on.

"Come on slow pokes! Come on come on come on! It's been so long since I've been allowed to do this! Yahoo!"

Suddenly what looked like an arm of sand hit Nuji, throwing her into a tree. She slid to the ground, unable to stop the fall because of the weights on her legs.

"Nuji!" The twins jumped to her side as the sand ninja stood by. Gaara had his arms crossed as he stared at them with a blank face.

Gege stood in front of his sisters as Jiejie helped the youngest to her feet. Despite the re-broken wrist, she still smiled slightly.

"I hope they've got a heaven scroll."

"This battle is pointless, friends, we've both got earth scrolls."

"We aren't your friends." Gaara stared at her as he spoke. He wouldn't meet the eyes of the twins.

"Hey, how do you know we have an earth scroll?!" Kankuro pointed at Nuji as he asked (more like yelled) the question.

The youngest just dug the scroll out of her pocket and showed them.

But that didn't stop Gaara from attacking them. It was Gege first. His legs became stuck and he threw his necklace to his sisters before becoming completely covered.

"Sand coffin."

"Brother!" Nuji screamed for him as jiejie froze from a mix of fear and grief. With tears in her eyes and his key against her's, the sand wrapped around her legs.

In an attempt to save her sister, Nuji pulled a kunai out to attacked the sand ninja.

"Sand coffin."

She hadn't even moved as the mix of blood covered her. She screamed out in anguish, a sound that was mixed with my power. As she fell to her knees, a wave of her grief went through the land surrounding. It killed every plant and animal accept the humans. Gaara's sand protected him, but his companions fell to their knees, coughing and throwing up but not passing out like I expected.

By the time the three had the strength to look for Nuji, she was already gone. Her weights were lying where she had once fallen to her knees.

And slowly, as my Jinjuriki fell deeper and deeper into anguish, she began to lose control over me. She wanted revenge, as she had for a long time. She wanted to destroy the humans for what they had all done to her.

Her cloak became brighter and brighter as she ran through the trees. Until she came a team. She grinned as she threw her headband away. And then she killed them. She felt remorse deep within her mind, but did not show it when she ripped the eyes out of her victims. She somehow managed to transplant them within herself without any medical ninjutsu. Must be because of me, you think?

Who cares.

She continued on. She found another team, but this time did not kill them all. Instead, she left one. The worst torture she could have imagined. She killed the boy's teammates, but left him to deal with the guilt of failing his friends and then have to return home and tell everybody.

The worst torture she could have imagined.

And then she went on to destroy six more teams before calming down in the face of the last one. She did not kill this team, she merely walked into the clearing and smiled at them.

"Hello! My name's Nuji! I've become separated from my team, have you by any chance seen them?"

"Um, probably not. What did they look like?"

"Well...they sorta looked like you two actually. Except my brother was the one with the black hair and my sister was the blond." She pointed to a girl with black hair who was wearing and black. The blond boy was slightly taller than her but shorter than the brown haired team leader.

"Um, when was the last time you saw them?"

Her grin grew wider, her teeth sharpening to points as she gave the three a maniacal smile.
"The last time I saw them was as they were crushed to death."

Before the team knew what happened, she slit the leaders throat and knocked out the blond and black haired ones. "Puppets…" Just like Kankuro. It's sad, isn't it, when a child seeks revenge on humanity for the cruelty she had to endure.

And yet, she had still smiled innocently until now.

As she came to the tower her bag was overflowing with scrolls and she was grinning wide. Her bloodshot eyes were sky blue and green and her headband was tied loosely around her neck. The chains that were once around her ankles were gone, replaced by blood that spotted her clothing.

Following close behind were her brother and sister, though Jiejie didn't smile and Gege wasn't reading his book. The twins both stared ahead with blank eyes and unified movements. Not even when Nuji opened the scrolls and a man was summoned did they blink.

When they walked through the halls to find a place to sit, Nuji turned and stared at the camera and grinned wider. She began laughing as she followed after her new companions.

And soon they came across the sand, but they were greeted with the usual glance and grin of the child as she held her companion's hands and walked passed the astonished sand ninja.

And about four days later when the last ninja came, she stood in the line. She stared at her startled sensei and grinned with sharp teeth, excited for the next challenge. Nine teams passed, and five people quite right then and there.

They were told that, before the next challenge, they would have a sort of duel. Nuji had the fake twins give up and leave so that they wouldn't distract her. As everybody watched, they left the room, then go into the bathroom. She was going to have them kill each other, but I convinced her to just leave them on the stall floors passed out from exhaustion. The ninjutsu would leave them looking like the twins until she either died or released it, though.

"First off, Sasuke and-"

As usual, Nuji lost interest and began carving into the floor with her kunai after she found a spot to sit.
