Miki's POV
I was sweating when I woke up. "Don't tell me it's on the mission that Asuma dies. NO! I'm going to prevent it from happening." I thought. I went straight to the shower because I was sweating really bad. I made some breakfast before I headed out to the Hokage.
**Time Skip**
I arrived at the office and I knocked. I went into the room when I heard a faint come in. "What is it?" Tsunade said. "I had another one of those dreams." I said. She looked up to see me. "Tell me. What happened in your dream?" She asked. I told her that Asuma had died because Hidan used his ritual and we weren't able to save him on time.
"I am going to stop this from happening, since he's going to become a father soon." I said. Tsunade looked surprised. "Yes. Kurenai is pregnant with his child." I said with a slight smile. "Very well. Try your best tomorrow to prevent this from happening." Tsunade said. I bowed and left the room.
I went towards the training grounds. I saw Naruto and Kakashi. Naruto was getting the hang of creating his own jutsu. "Keep going Naruto." I said. He got distracted and released his jutsu. "I'm sorry." I said. "It's fine." He said with a slight frown.
"I see you are starting to get the hang of creating a jutsu." I said and he nodded. He went back to his training. "Kakashi-nii san. I need to talk to you alone." I said. He nodded and followed me where Naruto wouldn't be able to hear us. "I had a dream of Asuma's death during our mission tomorrow." I said.
"It's just a dream. Nothing is going to happen." He said. "No! Kakashi, you don't get it. All of the dreams I had that are like this ended like it did. Just like with the Uchiha Massacre and the Third Hokage's death." I said with a tear falling down my cheek. He came up to me and wiped my tear away. "It's okay. I'm sure you will do all you can to prevent that." He said.
"HEY!" Naruto yelled. "I think we should get back to him. And... thanks Kakashi-nii san." I said and ran towards Naruto. "What is it?!" I said. "You guys just disappeared so I was yelling for you guys." He said and I hit him on the head. "You just focus on your training. I just had to talk to Kakashi in private." I said while I chuckled.
Naruto pouted. "Well, I'm leaving so see you guys later." I said and waved good bye. I felt Kurenai's chakra in the hospital so I walked towards it. When I reached the hospital, I saw her walking out. "Hey Kurenai." I said and she looked up with a smile. "I guess I had guessed correctly about her being pregnant." I thought.
"You were right, Miki." She said. "So when is your due date?" I asked. "It's in July 14. I'm about 2-3 months pregnant." She said. "So when are you telling Asuma?" I asked and she blushed. That's when Asuma was walking past us. "Speak of the devil." I thought. "Hey Asuma!" I yell.
He turns around and sees Kurenai and me. "Is something wrong, Kurenai?" He said with a worried face. I nudged Kurenai. "Tell him." I whispered so only she could hear it. She was still blushing so she took a deep breath. "Asuma. I'm pregnant." She said seriously. Asuma's cigarette had fallen out of his mouth.
"Are yyou sserious?" He said. "I even know she is and she just got a check-up. She's about 3 months pregnant." I said with a smile. Asuma hugged Kurenai. "I'm going to be a father." He said. I smiled, but it disappeared when I thought about my dream. "What's wrong, Miki?" Kurenai asked.
She was getting worried about me. "Oh it's nothing. I was just thinking for a second." I lied. She just nodded and the couple said goodbye. I was heading home. "Please don't die Asuma. You need to stay alive for Kurenai and your newborn." I said.
**Morning**
It was now time for me to leave on a mission. I had arrived at the gates waiting for the others. After everyone gathered, we splitted up. Choji and Ino together going a different a direction and they rest went towards the Akatsuki.
**Time Skip**
We had now just encountered the Akatsuki. It was Hidan and Kakuzu. "If you engage in the fight, do not let the scythe touch you or you're dead." I said. They all nodded. Kazuku was just standing watching us fight Hidan. Kotetsu and Izumo had pierced Hidan with their swords. "He's immortal! You can't kill him, but you can stop his movements by decapitating his head and limbs." I said.
I loved each Akatsuki member, but I couldn't let my friends die. Right when the scythe almost touched Asuma, I shield Asuma. The scythe had hit me instead. "Shit!" I thought. Hidan licked the blood on his weapon. "What's happening?" Shikamaru asked. "He's doing his Jashin ritual. And I'm going to die unless I release it." I said. They all looked at me.
Hidan had made his circle and he looked at my eyes. It was filled with sadness and guilt. He entered the circle and he pierced one of his organs and I felt the pain in the same organ. I had spitted out blood from my mouth. "Miki!" Asuma yelled. "What's happening to Miki?" Izumo asked. "Once Hidan gets the blood of his opponent and consumes it and makes it ritual circle. When he steps in it, the opponent that he had consumed the blood would have his body linked to Hidan's. Since Hidan is immortal and the opponent is not, he can attack himself and he can't die. But his opponent can." I said with gasping.
They all had a surprised on their faces. "So you're going to die?" Kotetsu said. "No I'm not because I know how to break it." I said. Everybody had surprised look on their face including Hidan. "Nobody can break my ritual." Hidan said. "I had made a jutsu to counter his ritual. It made the person survive it, but their was a big cost to it." I thought.
I made the hand seals necessary to counteract the ritual. When I finished, I couldn't see. "Don't tell me... I'M BLIND!" I thought. "What's wrong, Miki?" Shikamaru asked. He saw my blue eyes which lost it's light. "I'm blind. The jutsu I had just perform has a big cost to it. I guess for me it was my eyesight. I can still sense people though." I said.
Hidan was going to get Asuma again, but I stopped him. Even though I was blind I could still sense people's chakra. I had activated my Sharingan. "I guess I can see if I use my doujutsu." I thought. Although it would consume all my chakra if I had it on a daily basis. I attacked Hidan with my Tsukuyomi on Hidan. He was now under my genjutsu. I felt Kakuzu behind me and I also placed him under a genjutsu. I deactivated my Sharingan.
I heard footsteps. I'm guessing it's Choji and Ino. I can tell it's their chakra signature. "Are you guys alright?" Ino asked. "We are thanks to Miki, but it cost her eyesight." Shikamaru said with a frown. Ino walked up to me and looked at my eyes. I heard her gasp. "You're blind." She said and I nodded. "It was worth it though. I can still see if I use my Sharingan though. I can sense your chakra anyways, so I'm not totally helpless." I said with a smile.
I could see if I used my doujutsu, but it would be black and white and not colors. We were going to put Kakuzu and Hidan under custody, but they were able to release my genjutsu. "I'm guessing Itachi-nii san is here. Only another member with Mangekyou Sharingan can break a Tsukuyomi genjutsu." I thought.
They members had ran. Kotetsu and Izumo was going to run after them "Stop. Miki had sacrificed enough. We don't want anything to be sacrificed." Asuma said. So we headed back to Konoha.
**Time Skip**
We had now arrived towards Konoha. I could sense a whole bunch of people's chakra so I was guessing we were close to the village. They wouldn't let me walk so I was carried by Shikamaru. "Are you ok?" He asked. "I'm fine." I lied. I was actually that I had lost my eyesight, but I was glad I was able to save Asuma because if I hadn't broke free. Asuma would be targeted next.
We were now in the village. We were going to the Hokage building. We knocked and walked in when we heard a faint come in. We all walked in one by one. I felt Tsunade's chakra relax. "I guess she was tense that Asuma would die." I thought. I have good hearing so I heard felt her look at me. "Miki? What happen?" She said.
"She had lost her eyesight. So she is blind. At the cost of her eyesight, she saved us. She can see with her Sharingan, but it uses up her chakra." Asuma said. She dismissed us and told me to stay back. "Thank you for saving me or else I wouldn't see the face of my baby." He whispered to me before he left.
"Are you sure this is alright?" Tsunade asked. "To tell the truth, I'm sad that I can't see anymore. With my Sharingan I only see white and black. But I think it was worth it, seeing Asuma and Kurenai having a future together." I said with a smile although there was a tear on my cheek. I heard her footsteps and I felt her pull me into a hug. "I have to thank you Miki. You had sacrifice your eyesight for your comrade. That is something noble." She said.
I pulled out of her hug. I bowed and left. Sure I was blind, but I could still find my place around the village. I used my senses to get me to the training grounds. It took me awhile since I was now blind and I didn't want to rely on my doujutsu to get through life.
I heard some talking. "Hey you guys." I said. "Hey Miki-chan." Naruto said and I heard footsteps walking up to me. I was then pounced on and pulled into a hug. "I'm glad you it made back alright in one piece." Kakashi said. Naruto had gotten off me. "I didn't come back in one piece, a piece of me is missing." I said.
Kakashi's POV
"Hey you guys." Miki said. I turned around and saw Miki. "Hey Miki-chan." Naruto said and ran towards her causing them to fall. "I'm glad you made it back alright in one piece." I said. Naruto had now gotten off of Miki. "I didn't come back in one piece, a piece of me is missing." She said. I was confused.
That's when she looked at me with her eyes. Her blue eyes were now a pale blue with now light within them. "Miki, what happened to your eyes?" Naruto asked. "In order to prevent the death of Asuma, I sacrificed my eyesight in order to protect my comrades." She said. "In order to protect them, she sacrificed herself which cause her to lose her eyesight." I thought.
I walked up to her and hugged her. "Kakashi-nii san. It's alright. When I activate my Sharingan I can see but it's in black and white now. Since I lost my eyesight, it's not in color anymore." Miki said. We all just stood in silent.
"Ok. No more silence. Naruto! Go back to your training." She said and Naruto flinched. "Bbut..." Naruto said. "No 'buts' if you want to get stronger you better obtain your own jutsu like I have." She said. "You can make your own jutsu?!" Naruto said and she nodded. "I'll tell you about it once you can get your own jutsu." She said. Naruto went back to training.
I stood beside Miki. "Is the jutsu you had made that cause you to lose your eyesight?" I asked. She nodded. "It's alright that I lost it, but I would be lying if I said I was not sad losing it. I wouldn't be able to see anything except for using my Sharingan. I don't want to rely on it to make it through everyday. So I have to rely on my instincts and senses." She said.
"Even though she was now blind. She was strong and now she had gotten stronger." I thought.
Miki's POV
I just left since I was getting tired. I headed home and took a shower since I was a bit dirty. I still wanted to be a ninja, but I'm sure Tsunade wouldn't want be to keep being one since I was now blind. I lied on my bed thinking about what happened today.
"I won't be able to see how you look like now, Sasuke."
