Chapter 5- Hikaze and the Thirteen-Tails

"Hikaze… My daughter?" clarified Mito.

"Yes," replied Tsunade. "My aunt."

"Do you know of the creatures called Tailed Beasts?"

"Yes. Huge, powerful, masses of chakra that are in the form of monsters with tails. They each are part of the Juubi, created by the Sage of the Six Paths."

"How many are there?" questioned Mito.

"Nine… The least powerful being the Ichibi, the most powerful being the Kyuubi…" finished Tsunade uneasily, with a glance at Mito, the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.

"According to commonly spoken belief, yes. But there is a tenth one no one speaks of."

"What would… that be?"

"The Thirteen-Tails."

"Thirteen-Tails? How?"

"When the Sage of Six Paths split the Juubi into nine beings, there was a small amount of its chakra left. It was not enough to make a tailed beast. The Uchiha clan came into possession of this chakra. The head of it, Madara Uchiha, did many experiments with it. Hashirama clashed with him constantly. Having lost his most powerful weapon, the Kyuubi, he wanted to take what could be his next one." Mito paused, closing her eyes. "It was my own daughter, Hikaze. He kidnapped her and sealed the chakra into her. Using his Sharingan, he used her powers to create the ultimate Tailed Beast: the Thirteen-Tails. Thus, she became its Jinchuriki-"

"But how did it get to Akahi?!" interrupted Tsunade. "I'm sorry. Go on."

"Takeshi of the Hyuga clan brought Hikaze back. A few years after, the seal broke. You probably understand why. She had no choice but to seal it into Akahi, who had been born right around then. When it was sealed into her, its power matured rapidly. Akahi developed many jutsu beyond S-rank. One of these was the Time Teleportation Jutsu. Ten years from then, the Thirteen-Tails was extracted from her. She had given into the beast after a serious tragedy. After the extraction, the beast nearly killed her. But this was prevented by Hikaze and Takeshi."

"How? If the Thirteen-Tails was so strong…" Tsunade trailed off in wonder.

"That's why just sealing it took the lives of two of the strongest shinobi in history. That was 20 years ago."

"Time Teleportation…"Mito nooded.

"Now, by a miracle working of Hikaze, one of my other two daughters is still alive… If you want more, you can see more about it."

"I understand," concluded Tsunade. "I'll go check on Akahi." She walked off. There was a knock at the door.

"Enter," sighed Mito. In marched a girl with red hair, escorted by two ANBU. Her face was determined.

"All right!" announced Kushina. "You're Mito-sama, right?"
