Her memories then jump to her at age 14. It was two years later and her brother still had
Not taken over as the head of the clan because of their father. They were in their usual
training area in a ne area by the lake. This new area they had settled in was very beautiful
and they had been there for two years this having been the longest they stayed in one
given location. Her brother was encouraging her progress while she focused on hitting
all 25 bull's eyes. He had just given her tips on how to channel her chakra when the
alarm sounds. Sorry Su-chan, but I have to go he says standing up immediately and
looking back at her for a minute longer than usual. You always have to go she said
pouting, but I understand. He gives her a small smile, shrugs, and suddenly disappears
from sight. She grumbles to her self as she continuously shoots arrows at the bull's eye
when she finally comes to notice that she hit all the bull's eyes in just a couple of
seconds. "Hey I hit all the bull's eyes…wait until brother returns he will be so pro…
she is cut off as she hears screaming and thundering booming noises in the near distance.
"What the hell is that, she wonders, I better go check it out and inform touchan and
nii-chan. As she gets closer to the village the screams and noises get louder. "Wait it's
coming from the direction of the village!" She rushes toward the village when she sees
bright bursts of light that look like…"Flames oh no…what the hell happened…is this an
attack…I hope everyone's ok. Kaachan! Touchan! Where's nii-chan?" As she rushes to
the clearing she sees a figure leaving her family's hut. She wants to confront the imposter
but she knows that she was taught that if something like this were to ever happen she was
to find someone to protect her since she has not fully learned how to use her powers. She
runs toward the front door instead. When she reaches the front door she pauses silently
trembling at the eerie feeling overcoming her as a result of the eerie peaceful silence that
overcame the village that was chaotic upon her arrival. She then calls out,
"Kaachan…Touchan, hesitantly. Nii-chan…where are you when I need you,
She thinks to herself. As the door creaks open darkness engulfs her. Hers eyes widen in
Fear after she lights the candle near her that lights all the other candles in a chain reaction
revealing blood splattered everywhere and in tiny puddles on the floor and that's when
she sees them. Her mother and father lying face down in a pool of blood. Her father
laying in front of her mother as if he tried to protect her from something…or someone.
That someone who was standing over in the last corner in the room where the light did
not reach. Her eyes widen in fear and then turn quickly to anger as she yells, "You did
this? You wretch…how dare you kill my mother and father." Just then he walks to the
center of the room where her mother and father laid kneeling by her mother as she
suddenly charges yelling, "Don't you dare touch her" and she aims her arrow at him that
she drew out of rage. Just as she was about to shoot her bow and arrow disappears. You
don't have enough power to focus and successfully shoot that yet especially with your
emotions shot you'll never make a direct hit. Her eyes widen in surprise then relief as
she sees her brother standing in front of her facing the villain. "Nii-chan", she yells
running towards him as he turns to face her. Just then she pauses taking in the situation.
If that man is the villain why is brothers hands the ones dripping in blood she realizes and
Why hasn't he attacked the invader yet, she asks herself. The first thing that came to her
mind as a result of those observations was, "Brother you're hurt…he killed mom and dad
and you're hurt so we have to get out of here if you can't take him. He replied coldly,
Suteki…you don't understand…I'm fine…you're so naïve. She replies stepping closer
to him pleading ignoring what he said, "what are you going on about…we don't have
time…I think everyone in the village is dead…We Have To Get Out Of Here, she
yells as she reaches him tugging on his blood drenched hands. Just then the blood wipes
off revealing perfectly scar free skin. Brother…you're really fine, she asks and states at
the same time. Then whose blood is this she asks her self and him. Just then he punches
her in the stomach causing her to double over. That old worthless piece of shit…he was
always so concerned about his people…I wonder how he sees his people now…they're
all dead that's how they are. I should know because I killed them all…every last one of
them how pathetic really…it seems I was right all along about our kekki genki and now
there is no one to protect and nothing stopping me from power. He lived as a fool and he
died still a fool. You know what he said to me? Protect your sister…take care of her, he
said smirking when she yelled out, "Stop…why…you…it's a lie…you couldn't have...
not my…brother…what did he do to you?" Are you brainwashed, stupid, or just plain
insane he looked at her incredulously. It's okay brother I understand…I shall kill him
for you to free you from this madness she states with a glint of hop in her voice as
she lunges once again at the cloaked figure only to be kicked by her brother. She crashes
into the wall. Then the cloaked figure once again in the dark corner bows saying, "How
rude of me…she's family eh? Nice to meet you, I am Pain. I have recruited your brother
to become one of my paths of Pain as he carries with him the pain of betrayal. This my
dear was all of his doing. I am merely a spectator here and his power is outstanding. I
shall make great use of it. You lie, You made him do this she screams. My, my she's a
stubborn one isn't she…We might have use for her?" he states and questions her brother.
No, she is useless and powerless against me…she'll only slow us down. While she does
Have some useful attributes, she'll never be more powerful than me. Without our parents
she'll have no guidance nor training on how to use these powers nor attain more therefore
she is at a standstill since I have completed my training and she has not and the only
person with the ability to train her to full capacity like me is dead. She has already lost
her will to live…she is coming apart…she is pathetic. "Brother…you…why…why do
you hate me?" she asks as the tears fall down her face as their memories flashed through
her mind and none of them revealed the person who stood before her now because her
nii-chan had never insulted her and was always encouraging and loving towards her
especially. He walks to her and lifts her up by her hair that she kept down as it flowed
to her butt because her brother said he liked it that way and that she looked like his
princess replying "hate you?…why you ask?…to assume that I hate you means to assume
that I loved you…I did not…I merely pitied you being stuck with those idiots as I was.
I wanted to see how much power you could attain on your own like m, however I came to
notice that on your own without the help of others you are weak. You have no self
motivation to achieve great power for your own benefit. The fact that you are crying
before me now shows how pathetic you are…I thought I told you not to cry in front of
me…it disgusts me. He then lifts her up higher by her hair until her ear reaches his mouth
and whispers, "but you're welcome to come at me in a couple of years and test out my
theory. He then swings her through the same wall of the hut by her hair. As she looks up
at the retreating back of her brother through blurry tear stained eyes she remembers the
orders of her mother…(flashback Sasuke cannot see this)… "You're brother will leave
you behind one day but no matter what happens, even if I am not here I will protect you
two. When that day comes I want you to bury all the villagers who die in the sacred
ground around this forest and pray over them. Bury my body and your father's body at
the center. This place will no longer exist to the real world, but you will always be able to
sense our presence here. We will always be with you and we will never desert you. You
remember all of our secret trainings that your father and I taught you from age six and up,
you are to continue them in order to attain great power. There are things only you can do
and you must not show nor tell your brother. Remember the promise. If you come of age
16 and he has not left you yet, then you can show him your true strength and power,
however if he leaves you and becomes a threat to others you must stop him. You must not
take revenge." Sorry mom…you were right, however I will kill him. "When you attain
your father's strength and a understanding of your powers then you can remove this
bracelet, however you must wear it close to your heart. Show it only to those you trust for
it will be invisible to the human eyes and protected from all jitsu. It symbolizes that I am
always with you. When I die my power will transfer to you through this bracelet. You
will know when you have attained your full power because you will encounter great
sadness as the quest for and receiving powers is a very sad fate for miko's. You will
know when you've reached the center of the forest that our village will currently inhabit
because there you will find the katana of our ancestors buried there. Mom, that's where
you kept it? Yes, I never thought I would need it, but the time has come and it was
always destined to go to you. This katana holds the power of the generations of mikos.
Even though there are very few left please be careful because evil priestesses and priests
desire these weapons as well. As she follows her mother's orders, she gives everyone a
proper burial. It takes three days and she doesn't eat much after looking for and finding
all the bodies minus one. Finally on the eighth day she finds the strength and will power
to bury her parents in the center of the forest which was also the center of their ruined
village. As she digs she finally comes upon a case with her mother's seal on it. She
does the incantation her mother taught her break the seal and there she finds the katana.
She then buries her parents and after praying over them she says the time transcending
incantation her mother taught her. After that is done she sees a flash and a feeling of
peace and tranquility wash over her as she feels her mother's aura surrounding her,
almost like she is there with her She feels her eyes slightly watering yet nothing falls as
her brother's words pierce her like a knife "The fact that you are crying
before me now shows how pathetic you are…I thought I told you not to cry in front of
me…it disgusts me." I don't have time to cry she firmly states to her self as her resolve
forms solid and absolute. I must defeat him before he becomes a burden to others, I must
get stronger. She begins practicing with her sword and her purifying spirit bow and
arrow. Six hours for the sword, six for the bow and arrows, one hour for combinations of
both, two hours for chakra control, 2 hours for nature manipulation, one hour for barrier
manipulation, and six hours to eat and sleep. After two days she can walk on water, but
it's not enough. As her food supply runs low she decides to go scout out the nearest
village. She leaves her village and walks toward the place where she recalled the next
village was. When she gets there however, it is in total ruins and there seemed to be no
living person present. My, my did you do all of this she hears someone ask from behind
her. I wonder what power you have, eh? The person continues. Who are you and what
business do you have here with me she replied coldly. Oh aren't you the presumptuous
one…I was merely passing by when I came upon this village and what do I have here,
one single alive person and a dead village with no bodies in sight? I wonder… but I
consider myself a collector of sorts. Collector, she turns facing the man. That's right,
he replies smirking at her like the snake he looks like, all those who desire power or
to serve me come with me…you are alone are you not…come with me little girl. Who
are you, she questions him. My name is Orochimaru and you? Do you even have a name
my dear? I'm not your dear…I know your type and I hate you already I just needed to
make myself clear, yet you will serve my purpose just fine therefore I will come with
you. What have we here…another arrogant one…why you remind me of my Sasuke.
Come I shall tell you about him…It's Suteki. Suteki eh…such a fitting name for a
beautiful girl indeed…come I might have use for you yet. Who knows…if you please
me greatly I shall let you meet him and you two could be friends. I have no need for such
things. Even powerful friends that you can practice with eh? At that she contemplates this
and vows to train and until she can battle this Sasuke person and prove her strength. The
last thing Sasuke sees, however is her meeting with Orochimaru and her deciding to go
with him.
