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.
