AN.
Surprised? So am I.
I'm starting to think that feeling pain is the start of a new life. The pain of mothers giving birth to children. The pain of training before the start of my short life as an academy student.
Now when I woke up, I experienced unbearable pain.
You know, because it's super hot in Inferno. And my neck is also pretty damn hot despite the man not sticking his grubby teeth which I suspect he doesn't toothbrush because Orochmaru-shishou has a perfect complexion like that. I should really be more serious about my…situation but like, it was kind of obvious how I a damned Hyūga child is obviously going to be used for an experiment.
Now imagine if I was an Uchiha boy.
His teeth aren' t the only things that would invade my personal space.
Fuck
The one man I do not want to see naked.
This is imagination will be the ruin of me. Maybe I'll make a whole damned genjutsu out of it.
I tried moving my arms but couldn't, that's how tired and drained I felt. "Do not try to move." I heard a familiar raspy voice say. Oh great, a snake in my house, one I didn't whistle for. "You must adjust to the strain if you want to overcome this obstacle." He said reassuringly. I rolled my eyes, not bothering to close them anymore. He looked amused and played with a Kunai he got out of nowhere. "Now,now, don't make me teach you respect again, may I remind you who is bedridden and who can stab you anyone they want?" He said casually.
Oooh, scary. It actually was but I'm not saying that. He'll probably jack of to that. "Pff." I started my bluff "You and I both know that you won't kill me. I'm too valuable as research and an experiment to you now." I snorted out while the beginning of a kaleidoscope rested on my bed ridden body as if to protect me. Thank you, ultimate wing man. He chuckled. Called it. "Smart girl," he said, grinning mischievously. He raised an eyebrow then laughed. "How much do you know of me?" He chortled. Fucking chortled. This bitch could be raping an Uchiha baby while killing my family and he would be fucking chortling.
"Stay in bed, it's not like you can move anyway." There was a pause and he added as an afterthought "I'll be watching."
That was fucking kinky. In the worst kind of way.
"Of course you will, you crazed stalker." I growled out.
I heard him chuckle again and felt the wind as he body flickered away. I tried focusing on sleeping which didn't take very long. Darkness consumed me once more, this time on my terms.
The brunette girl was worried for one of her new friends. One of her best friends. She hadn't seen hide or tail of her since the fight with Kakashi-kun. Whenever her and Obito tried to visit they always came empty handed. She went back to a familiar house which she considered a second home by now. She was sure her black haired friend shared her sentiment. Said friend perked his ears up as she looked down at the door step to see a monarch innocently guarding the doorstep.
"Tokina-chan, it's us!" Rin called out. She heard her recently missing friend whisper something. They waited for a few seconds and the door slid open. It revealed their friend who looked seemingly normal.
"Clone." Her voice said emotionlessly as the Butterfly clone led them to the original body. The clone dispersed once more as the butterflies rested on Tokina's bedridden body.
"Hey guys, I'm sorry I can't make you tea right now. I'm kind of bedridden." She said, multi colored monarchs fluttering about her bed. She looked at them guiltily. "They insist on 'protecting me'. They don't use a lot of chakra anyway." She shrugged then winced and tried to cover the mistake.
"Hey we have food!" Obito raised the groceries of chocolate. Mostly chocolate. Rin needed to eat something to, so she forced him to buy a semblance of a balanced meal.
Rin looked at Obito with a huff, remembering his whining about buying vegetables. How monstrous. How unheard off.
Obito looked scandalized , knowing exactly why the brunette was glaring. "Hey, I said was sorry!" Rin puffed out her cheeks and pointed at the wide eyed Hyūga , "What's this about?" The bedridden girl questioned, silently (because she's probably not allowed to) opening a small tub of ice cream.
Rin quickly snatched it back. "Oh don't start. I know all you chocolate-lovers tactics. Making your victims chat while you eat your deserts." She chastised Tokina with a waving, motherly like finger. She heard a rustle of plastic and forced her glare on Obito who was about to open a bar of the good brown stuff.
"Drop it."
He raised his hands in surrender, the brand name bar falling down the floor.
"Wise choice." She nodded and opened the healthy thing in the array of edibles.
"You won't let us eat chocolate but you're feeding us oranges?" Tokina pouted.
She glared. Tokina shut her teeth with a surprised yelp.
Please, she wasn't that scary.
Rin felt lucky to have such nice friends. She wished nothing bad would ever happen to them. She knew it was a stupid wish for the lifestyle they chose, but sometimes logic isn't always a good thing.
"So what happened?" Obito shifted nervously.
"Eh," Rin knew she would wave her hands in a dismissive manner if it didn't pain her to do so. "Training accident, no biggie. You know how war is, their rushing the ninja production left and right. Orochimaru-shishou just wants me to be ready." She grinned up to them.
"Yes 'biggie'." Rin scolded, both of her friends yelping in the process. She rubbed her temples, peeling the orange with the chakra scalpel Akane-san thought her how to use. If only Akane-san thought her the basics of Medical-Ninjutsu, like Mystic Palm then she could ease the pain of her friend. Of all her friends. She would learn one way or another. Rin isn't the type to give up after one measly stumble, after all. She was saving her allowance steadily for the apprenticeship in the local hospital. It wasn't Akane-san but it would do. It will do.
Obito had other things in mind
Instead of remedying the situation like most people (like Rin-chan) he would nip it in the bud. Less people hurt that way. It was the right way.
"Don't worry Kina-chan. I'll get super strong then I'll win the war and become Hokage! That way nobody will get hurt ever!" Obito declared. Tokina laughed at his seriousness at his childish declaration. "I'll look forward to the, Hokage-sama." He grinned and beamed. Rin giggled "Then we'd better work hard, huh, Obito-kun, or Tokina-chan will be surpass both of us even when you become Hokage!"she bumped shoulders with He took it seriously
"Yeah!"
The butterflies spun faster as the wood and flooring gave way to more butterflies. They were now in the rooftop, seeing the Hokage Mountain. Obito gasped and gaped at the image of the mountain in the illusion.
Right next to Sarutobi Hiruzen was Uchiha Obito's face. Illusion or not, he was happy and he was going to make that a reality. For his friends!
The weeks turned into months of me just staying in bed. Orochimaru coming, checking up on me, threaten me, I refuted, he laugh and leave immediately and my two human friends coming and cooking for me and cleaning the house, and telling me stories of what happened at the academy. My butterfly friends (mostly just Akinosuke in butterfly mode) decided to be just that when my power obsessed teacher was prodding me and testing the poison.
Whoops.
I meant gift.
He gets touchy when I call the Cursed Seal of Heaven that. Well it wasn't the Cursed Seal of Heaven yet; it was more like the foundation for it. I mean, it might be classified as fūinjutsu but it comes from his fangs of all places. It must be some kind of poison as well, since he's injecting chakra. And I just got the first one ever. Which hurt like a bitch, probably would have killed me if it was the real thing. I joked how he should make it painless but he got all defensive and said "Where's the fun in that?"
The dick can't take criticism very well.
A small kaleidoscope fluttered us. "Why do you not go to Yume Grove, Orochimaru?" His ghostly voice echoed throughout the room. "We are well versed of the practice of absorbing, giving and using chakra. I cannot do much in this place, but in the grove-" Snake-shishou rolled his eyes and interrupted the king of butterflies. "I do not need help from insects. You couldn't understand this level of brilliance anyway." Orochimaru hissed out. "I made this seal. It is my work. Only I can understand it." He said proudly. He continued his experiments of blood samples and chakra injecting. I'm tired of being crippled. Akinosuke fluttered irritably but said nothing, resting on the walls of my house once more.
It's getting boring, all this shit. "When can I walk?" I said irritably, knowing he can hear me since he was hovering over my neck. He chuckled "How impatient." He petted my head and I glared at him. He hummed and leaned forward and muttered some observations he found. What did he find though? I was paler? I haven't been eating a lot thanks to the seal making me crippled you dick dong diddely fuck. Oh, don't worry love. You'll get your turn. Can't wait till Hiruzen seals your hands away, then we'll see whose laughing.
He backed away. "Activate your Byakugan." He commanded, already writing something in the sheet of paper. I could manifest my white eyes without the hand seal anymore. I flooded my eyes with chakra as per usual but suddenly…
I gasped in surprise.
Orochimaru leaned forward.
"I can see through solid objects, have an extended range of vision and have near 360 degrees of vision. You know, Byakugan." I said spoopily and ominously. "Like normal." I deadpanned.
He frowned and the flicker of light in his eyes probably was him contemplating on cutting me into itty bitty tiny pieces and feeding him to Manda.
He scoffed, stood up s and gave me a suspicious looking black pill. "Don't give me that look," he grinned with his trademark malicious grin, his pearly whites rivaling his skin. "If you wish not to walk anymore, then don't; I require more research that does not needs you to be standing,anyway." He said sarcastically "Training tomorrow if you wish to be of use." Then he left.
I huffed. "Akinosuke-san, could I trouble you for a glass of water?" I said politely to the king of butterflies resting on my stomach in the form of his subordinates. "Of course, Tokina-san." They got up and fluttered to the kitchen. I heard glass clinking and water filling. Wait, how can butterflies even...
There it was, the glass in the edge of falling, water spilling everywhere as a cloud of multicolored flies fluttered into my room. The glass dropped with a clink, half of the water falling in the damned table.
I snorted and muttered a thank you, preparing to drink whatever the fuck he wanted me to drink. I wanted to walk dammit.
I widened my eyes because the black pill tasted absolutely shitty.
Ugh disgusting.
My curse poison fired up. I can feel it fire up since my blood was literally boiling.
Ugh, Orochimaru you bitch.
My legs instantly felt like jello and my arms felt like curling up on me. I closed my eyes and endured. Then the pain went away and I felt revitalized.
Great. I thought, standing up experimentally. Now I can take a proper bath.
"What the hell is this, you narcissistic snake of a man." I hissed out.
"I do not know what you mean, one who says the obvious." Orochimaru chirped innocently. Chirped. Fucking Chirped.
Imagine my surprise when I woke up with a set of multiple new clothes near my bedside with a black forehead protector. Imagine my surprise when it was a high necked cream colored oversized kimono shirt with black trimmings and a black polo that covered my neck, loose black pants and a fucking purple rope belt. Who the hell uses rope belts these days?! I'll tell you who the hell uses rope belts these days. He was grinning across me.
This man has killed babies, tortured innocents, my parents are in that group, he is plotting to kill the third hokage and does inhumane shit to people and he has the audacity to make me his dress up doll? My hair was conveniently dark enough to be considered black with three locks escaping the forehead protector; two of them on either side of my face and one extra long one riding my nose bridge. My eyes are already naturally half-lidded with my eyes. Guess what I look like?
"Are you into this kind of things? Are you going to force me with yellow contacts and pale skin so I can look like a female mini-you?" I continue to hiss out. The sad thing was is that this is totally my digs. It was so soft and comfortable to wear and the purple rope belt I tied to look like a ribbon felt a nice weight around my waist. It was probably super durable too. I bet he knew this too, the sick fuck. I need new wardrobe.
I took a deep breath. Was it misplaced hero worship or Stockholm syndrome? I'd never know. "Whatever, let's just go." Akinosuke's butterflies landed on my head to at least try and calm me down. Keyword was try.
"The pill I gave you was made by Tsunade to help muscles revitalize." He started "I did some modifications and made it so that your degrades muscles returned to you instantaneously." He grinned.
And then threw a kunai at me.
I dodged with an unsaid gasp. "Your reflexes as muscle memory are still sharp. Good. You constantly straining your summons should have increased your already above average chakra reserves, not counting the chakra I graciously gave you."
Asshole. It fucking ruined me. Makes me want to drown myself which I do not like, by the way. Killing myself by drowning gives me jives now. I sighed inwardly. Where did it all go wrong? Can I still make this 'stay alive until thirty' thing work anymore? At this rate I'm going to die by my fucking teens.
"Hiruzen said that I have until your batch of academy students graduate till your apprenticeship with me expires." He hissed out distastefully. "I am required to become a Jōnin sensei and he told me that he will be relocating you to another team when the time comes to spread out my wisdom." He childishly rolled his eyes.
"I will teach you one elemental ninjutsu and a camouflage technique." I perked up at the elemental ninjutsu one. Finally! "After that you will complete ten more D-ranks" I slumped visibly "And six C-rank missions so I may be licensed to let you go off willy-nilly." He smiled maliciously. "That is where you will be mentor less as I go and do some training of my own."
"And where might that be?" I said holding my arms. His grin got even wider and he held up a silencing seal. Oh, snap, I took the bait. I felt a whir of wind signifying a Genjutsu activated."I want the cursed seal to be stronger. I will go to Ryūchi Cave so we may acquire the power to harness natural energy so I may inject that and maybe develop a way to exceed powers only a Jinchūriki can accomplish.. Not only will I get to be more powerful but I will also get to see the reaction of my seal when exposed to natural energy." He said in a rush, absentmindedly licking his lips with anticipation. Gross.
"But in the mean time," he sighed. He did the ox-dog-rat hand seals and blew and suddenly, a gust of wind continuously rotated and shielded him. "Wind Release: Wind Wall. A defensive ninjutsu. I have taught you much offensive skills honed your reflexes but there are times when dodging and blocking with your hands is not an option." I nodded excitedly. "Now demonstrate it." He said, full on teacher mode.
I did the hand seals and blew.
A gentle breeze past by us.
Oh yeah. Chakra conversion. Right.
"What was that?" He said darkly.
"Uh, I may have forgotten about my chakra conversion problems." I said awkwardly. "I can convert my base chakra into medical-ninjutsu but it took me months to do it." I scratched my cheek awkwardly. He stared at me like I was the most revolting and stupid person on the planet. "This will be a setback..." He drawled on "I will teach you the Camouflage Jutsu first then. Surely your affinity of genjutsu will save you from this lesson." He sighed irritably.
Tee hee.
Must be irritating for his normally prodigious student not excelling at his life's ambition.
AN.
With Semestral Break looming, maybe just maybe I might start double posting next week. Who knows?
Also, constructive criticism would be very much appreciated. I do not my baby want to fall into the pit known as Mary-Sueness. She'll get one last predictable power up then she'll work her way from there. Y'all can probably guess what it is, even if I asked you to put in in a review. Anyway, Enjoy life because Tokina certainly a'int :)
